Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sockets, and in particular to a conductive element and a power socket having the conductive element. Background Technology

[0002] A socket is a receptacle into which one or more electrical wires can be inserted. Various wires can be inserted through it, making it easy to connect to other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the circuit is achieved by connecting and disconnecting the wires and copper components.

[0003] Power sockets connect to electrical appliances via a built-in copper plate that contacts the metal plate of the power plug. Existing conductive components, such as the inner copper core of a power socket disclosed in Chinese Patent (Authorization Announcement No. CN221632884U), include connecting copper plates, conductive terminals, and clamping parts. The clamping parts are located at both ends of the connecting copper plates, and the conductive terminals are located in the middle of the connecting copper plates and integrally formed with them. The clamping parts include a first clamping piece and a second clamping piece integrally formed with the ends of the connecting copper plates. The first and second clamping pieces are spaced apart, forming a slot for the plug. Both the first and second clamping pieces are concave structures extending from the ends of the connecting copper plates and approaching each other. However, because the two clamping pieces of the conductive component's clamping part are S-shaped, the contact area between the plug pins and the two clamping pieces of the power socket is small when the plug is inserted into the power socket. This makes them prone to rubbing against each other during insertion, leading to severe wear on the plug pins and the conductive parts of the power socket with increased use and insertion / removal, thus significantly shortening their service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conductive component and a power socket having the conductive component. By designing the clamping pair of the conductive component to have a structure with a vertical abutment and an elastic clamping piece, when the plug is inserted into the power socket, the pin will be inserted along the vertical abutment and pressed against the vertical abutment by the elastic clamping piece, thereby achieving electrical conductivity. The vertical abutment increases the contact area with the pin, which not only reduces wear on the conductive component and the pin and improves service life, but also enhances the clamping effect between the conductive piece and the pin.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a conductive component, including a connecting copper sheet, a conductive terminal, and a clamping pair. Two sets of clamping pairs are provided and disposed at both ends of the connecting copper sheet. The conductive terminal is connected to the middle area of ​​the two clamping pairs corresponding to the connecting copper sheet. The clamping pair includes an integrally formed vertical abutment piece, an elastic clamping piece, and a connecting portion for connecting the vertical abutment piece and the elastic clamping piece. A slot with an upper opening is formed between the vertical abutment piece and the elastic clamping piece. The elastic clamping piece includes a first vertical portion and a bent portion disposed at the lower end of the first vertical portion. The bent portion is inclined from top to bottom away from the vertical abutment piece. The vertical abutment piece extends from the first vertical portion to the bent portion. The clamping pair is connected to the connecting copper sheet through the vertical abutment piece.

[0006] Furthermore, the elastic clamping piece also includes a second vertical portion disposed at the lower end of the bent portion, and the vertical abutment piece extends from the first vertical portion to the second vertical portion.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple spaced grooves are formed on the end face of the conductive terminal.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper ends of the first vertical portions of both the vertical abutment piece and the elastic clamping piece are provided with guide portions that slope outward from bottom to top.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting portion is an arc-shaped portion disposed at the lower end of the second vertical portion and the vertical abutment piece.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting portion is disposed on the side of the second vertical portion and the vertical abutment piece, and the lower end of the vertical abutment piece and the elastic clamping piece form an opening.

[0011] Furthermore, an inner groove is formed at the upper end of the arc-shaped portion, and an outer protrusion is formed at the lower end of the arc-shaped portion in the area corresponding to the inner groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the protruding portion extends from the second vertical portion to the vertical abutment piece.

[0013] Furthermore, the distance between the vertical abutment piece and the first vertical part is between 0.6mm and 1mm.

[0014] A power socket includes a socket body and a pair of conductive elements disposed within the socket body, wherein the pair of conductive elements includes at least one conductive element as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. A conductive component and a power socket having the conductive component, wherein the clamping pair of the conductive component is designed with a structure having a vertical abutment and an elastic clamping piece, when the plug is inserted into the power socket, the pin is inserted along the vertical abutment and the elastic clamping piece presses the pin against the vertical abutment to achieve electrical conduction. The vertical abutment increases the contact area with the pin, which not only reduces wear on the conductive component and the pin and improves service life, but also enhances the clamping effect between the conductive piece and the pin. 2. A conductive component and a power socket having the conductive component, wherein an inner groove is formed at the upper end of an arc-shaped portion and an outer protrusion is formed at the lower end of the arc-shaped portion corresponding to the area of ​​the inner groove, which serves as a reinforcing rib. Since the conductive component is formed by sheet stamping and is relatively thin, this arrangement can enhance the strength of the clamping portion and improve its service life. 3. A conductive component and a power socket having the conductive component, wherein the wiring terminal is used to connect the wiring frame, and the setting of the strip groove allows the screw to be turned into the strip groove for positioning, thereby preventing slippage.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a conductive component includes a connecting copper sheet 10, a conductive terminal 20, and a clamping pair 30, which constitute the basic structure of this utility model. Two sets of clamping pairs 30 are provided and disposed at both ends of the connecting copper sheet 10. The conductive terminal 20 is connected to the middle area of ​​the connecting copper sheet 10 corresponding to the two clamping pairs 30. The connecting copper sheet 10, the conductive terminal 20, and the clamping pair 30 are integrally formed.

[0028] The clamping pair 30 includes an integrally formed vertical abutment piece 31, an elastic clamping piece 32, and a connecting portion 33 for connecting the vertical abutment piece 31 and the elastic clamping piece 32. A slot 34 with an upper opening is formed between the vertical abutment piece 31 and the elastic clamping piece 32. The slot 34 is for the insertion of the plug pin. The elastic clamping piece 32 includes a first vertical portion 321 and a bent portion 322 disposed at the lower end of the first vertical portion 321. The bent portion 322 is inclined from top to bottom away from the vertical abutment piece 31. The vertical abutment piece 31 extends from the first vertical portion 321 to the bent portion 322. The clamping pair 30 is connected to the connecting copper sheet 10 through the vertical abutment piece 31.

[0029] This application effectively increases the contact area with the plug pins by setting one end of the clamping pair 30 to abut against the vertical piece. When the plug is inserted into the power socket, the pins will be inserted along the vertical abutment piece 31 and pressed against the vertical abutment piece 31 by the elastic clamping piece 32, thereby achieving electrical conduction. The vertical abutment piece 31 increases the contact area with the pins, which not only reduces wear on the conductive parts and pins and improves service life, but also enhances the clamping effect between the conductive piece and the pins.

[0030] In some embodiments, the elastic clamping piece 32 further includes a second vertical portion 323 disposed at the lower end of the bent portion 322. The vertical abutment piece 31 extends from the first vertical portion 321 to the second vertical portion 323. The provision of the second vertical portion 323 facilitates the sequential connection between the connecting portion 33 and the elastic clamping piece 32.

[0031] In some embodiments, multiple spaced strip grooves 21 are provided on the end face of the conductive terminal 20. In this invention, the strip grooves 21 pass through both ends of the conductive terminal 20. The conductive terminal 20 is used to connect the wiring frame. The strip grooves 21 are provided so that when the screw is tightened, it can be positioned by the screw pressing against the strip grooves 21, thus preventing slippage.

[0032] In some embodiments, the upper ends of the first vertical portion 321 of the vertical abutment piece 31 and the elastic clamping piece 32 are provided with guide portions 35 that slope outward from bottom to top. The two guide portions 35 are in an inverted figure-eight structure. By setting the guide portions 35, the pins of the plug can be inserted more stably and smoothly.

[0033] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 33 is an arc-shaped portion disposed at the lower end of the second vertical portion 323 and the vertical abutment piece 31. Further, an inner groove 331 is formed at the upper end of the arc-shaped portion, and an outer protrusion 332 is formed at the lower end of the arc-shaped portion corresponding to the area of ​​the inner groove 331. The formation of the inner groove 331 at the upper end of the arc-shaped portion and the outer protrusion 332 at the lower end of the arc-shaped portion corresponding to the area of ​​the inner groove 331 serve as reinforcing ribs. Since the conductive component is formed by sheet stamping and is relatively thin, this arrangement enhances the strength of the clamping pair 30 and improves its service life.

[0034] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 33 is disposed on the side of the second vertical portion 323 and the vertical abutment piece 31, and the vertical abutment piece 31 and the lower end of the elastic clamping piece 32 form an opening.

[0035] In some embodiments, the protrusion 332 extends from the second vertical portion 323 to the vertical abutment piece 31. This arrangement not only increases the strength of the connecting portion 33, but also improves the connection strength and stability between the connecting portion 33 and the vertical abutment piece 31 and the elastic clamping piece 32.

[0036] In some embodiments, the distance between the vertical abutment piece 31 and the first vertical portion 321 is between 0.6mm and 1mm. Preferably, the distance between the vertical abutment piece 31 and the first vertical portion 321 is 0.8mm. This distance setting can effectively ensure the clamping force of the clamping pair 30.

[0037] In some embodiments, the vertical surface length of the vertical abutment 31 is between 7mm and 8mm, preferably 7.5mm. The longer the vertical surface length, the more contact surface there is for the plug pins, which is more conducive to the opening applying pressure to the plug pins and the clamping effect is better.

[0038] In some embodiments, the shape of the connecting copper piece 10 may be adjusted accordingly due to differences in the type, rules, model, etc. of the power socket. That is to say, there are multiple shapes of the connecting copper piece 10. Only a part of them are shown in the accompanying drawings of this application. It should be noted that the innovation of this application lies in the design of the clamping pair 30 and the power connection terminal.

[0039] A power socket includes a socket body and a pair of conductive elements disposed within the socket body. The pair of conductive elements includes at least one conductive element as described in any of the above claims, and preferably, the pair of conductive elements includes two conductive elements.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of the present utility model patent application are included in the scope of the present utility model patent application.
