Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector technology, and in particular to a conductive terminal. Background Technology

[0002] In the electrical installation of equipment such as server racks and smart home cabinets, it is often necessary to cut grooves in metal rails or plates to install conductive terminals, thereby enabling the transmission of power or signals. However, in the actual production and installation process, the dimensions of the grooves (including the width and depth of the grooves) inevitably have processing errors and assembly errors, that is, left-right deviations or up-down deviations.

[0003] Existing conductive terminal structures are typically fixed, lacking adjustability in installation position and contact height. When the slotting deviates laterally, the conductive terminals are difficult to align, potentially leading to poor contact. When the slotting deviates vertically, the conductive contacts of the terminals may not make sufficient contact with the mating components, posing risks of incomplete connections, excessive resistance, or even open circuits. These problems directly affect the reliability of electrical connections and can lead to equipment malfunctions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a conductive terminal to solve the problem of poor contact of the conductive terminal caused by the deviation of the mounting groove size.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a conductive terminal, which includes a housing, a sliding cover and at least one copper needle. The sliding cover is slidably disposed on the housing in the horizontal direction, and the copper needle is mounted on the sliding cover. The copper needle includes a contact head and a needle body, and the contact head is movably disposed on the needle body in the vertical height direction.

[0006] Furthermore, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, the copper needle also includes an elastic element, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the needle body. One end of the elastic element abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity, and the other end of the elastic element abuts against the contact head.

[0007] Furthermore, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, the housing includes an upper cover and a bottom cover, and the upper cover is detachably disposed on the bottom cover.

[0008] Furthermore, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, a slot is provided on the bottom shell, and a downwardly extending post is provided on the top cover, with the post correspondingly embedded in the slot.

[0009] Furthermore, in the conductive terminal described in this utility model, a sliding groove is formed on the upper surface of the upper cover, and a through hole is formed at the bottom of the sliding groove. The sliding cover includes a sliding plate part and a fixing part connected to each other. The sliding plate part is slidably disposed on the sliding groove. The fixing part extends downward through the through hole. The fixing part is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​parts, and the snap-fit ​​parts are engaged with the bottom of the upper cover.

[0010] Furthermore, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, a plurality of arc-shaped slots are provided on the side wall of the through hole, and an arc-shaped protrusion is provided on the fixing part, the arc-shaped protrusion being slidably disposed on the plurality of arc-shaped slots.

[0011] Furthermore, the conductive terminal of this utility model also includes a printed circuit board, which is fixed on the bottom shell and electrically connected to the copper pin.

[0012] Furthermore, in the conductive terminal described in this utility model, the bottom of the base shell is provided with a groove for placing the printed circuit board, and the side wall of the groove is provided with a plurality of claws, which are securely connected to the printed circuit board.

[0013] Furthermore, the conductive terminal described in this utility model also includes a terminal wire, which is electrically connected to the printed circuit board.

[0014] Furthermore, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, a limiting groove is formed at the bottom of the bottom shell, and the end of the terminal wire away from the printed circuit board extends out from the limiting groove.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By integrating the copper pin onto a horizontally sliding cover, the position of the copper pin in the horizontal plane can be adjusted, effectively compensating for misalignment caused by lateral width deviations in the mounting groove. Simultaneously, since the contact head of the copper pin can move vertically, it can effectively compensate for vertical gap deviations caused by varying mounting groove depths or fluctuations in the height of mating components. In summary, by mounting the copper pin on a horizontally sliding cover and allowing the contact head of the copper pin to move vertically, the conductive terminal can simultaneously compensate for dimensional deviations in both the horizontal (e.g., left-right) and vertical (i.e., up-down) directions of the mounting groove, thereby reducing conductivity abnormalities caused by groove dimensional deviations (e.g., up-down and left-right deviations), and improving installation flexibility and reliability.

[0025] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 This utility model provides a conductive terminal, which includes a housing 1, a sliding cover 2 and at least one copper needle 3. The sliding cover 2 is slidably disposed on the housing 1 in the horizontal direction, and the copper needle 3 is mounted on the sliding cover 2. The copper needle 3 includes a contact head 31 and a needle body 32. The contact head 31 is movably disposed on the needle body 32 in the vertical height direction.

[0027] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By integrating the copper pin 3 onto the horizontally sliding cover 2, the position of the copper pin 3 in the horizontal plane can be adjusted, effectively compensating for misalignment caused by the left-right width deviation of the mounting groove. Simultaneously, since the contact head 31 of the copper pin 3 can move vertically, it can effectively compensate for vertical gap deviations caused by varying mounting groove depths or fluctuations in the height of the mating components. In summary, by installing the copper pin 3 on the horizontally sliding cover 2 and allowing the contact head 31 of the copper pin 3 to move vertically, the conductive terminal can simultaneously compensate for dimensional deviations in both the horizontal (e.g., left-right) and vertical (i.e., up-down) directions of the mounting groove, thereby reducing conductivity abnormalities caused by groove dimensional deviations (e.g., up-down and left-right deviations), and improving installation flexibility and reliability.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, the copper needle 3 further includes an elastic element 33. The elastic element 33 is disposed in the inner cavity of the needle body 32. One end of the elastic element 33 abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity, and the other end of the elastic element 33 abuts against the contact head 31.

[0029] As can be seen from the above description, by providing an elastic element 33 in the inner cavity, the contact head 31 can move along the vertical height direction, reducing the risk of poor contact.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, the housing 1 includes an upper cover 11 and a bottom cover 16, and the upper cover 11 is detachably disposed on the bottom cover 16.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the housing 1 as a detachable upper cover 11 and a bottom cover 16, it is convenient to assemble the conductive terminals and replace their internal components, thereby improving the maintainability of the product.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, the bottom shell 16 is provided with a slot 17, and the top cover 11 is provided with a downwardly extending post 12, which is correspondingly embedded in the slot 17.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, the assembly of the housing 1 is more secure and easier to operate through the cooperation of the slot 17 and the pin 12, while ensuring the overall stability of the housing 1 and preventing relative movement of the top cover 11 and the bottom cover 16 in the horizontal direction.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, a sliding groove 13 is provided on the upper surface of the upper cover 11, and a through hole 14 is provided at the bottom of the sliding groove 13. The sliding cover 2 includes a sliding plate part 21 and a fixing part 22 connected to each other. The sliding plate part 21 is slidably disposed on the sliding groove 13. The fixing part 22 extends downward through the through hole 14. The fixing part 22 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​parts 23, and the snap-fit ​​parts 23 are engaged with the bottom of the upper cover 11.

[0035] As can be seen from the above description, horizontal sliding is achieved by the cooperation of the sliding plate 21 and the sliding groove 13. At the same time, the fixing part 22 passing through the through hole 14 and its snap-fit ​​part 23 are engaged with the bottom of the upper cover 11. While ensuring the smooth sliding of the sliding cover 2 to achieve horizontal deviation compensation, the sliding cover 2 can be effectively prevented from detaching from the housing 1 from the top, thus ensuring structural stability.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, a plurality of arc-shaped locking positions 15 are provided on the side wall of the through hole 14, and an arc-shaped protrusion 24 is provided on the fixing part 22. The arc-shaped protrusion 24 is slidably disposed on the plurality of arc-shaped locking positions 15. It should be noted that the arc-shaped locking positions 15 are used to provide a sliding stop so that the sliding cover 2 can be stably positioned in a preset position.

[0037] As described above, the cooperation between the arc-shaped protrusion 24 and the multiple arc-shaped locking positions 15 provides a stop for the horizontal sliding of the sliding cover 2. The operator can sense the sliding position and stabilize it at the preset point, preventing it from deviating from the optimal compensation position due to accidental sliding during use, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sliding cover 2's movement.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the conductive terminal of this utility model also includes a printed circuit board 4, which is fixed on the bottom shell 16 and electrically connected to the copper pin 3.

[0039] As can be seen from the above description, by setting up the printed circuit board 4 (i.e., PCB) and electrically connecting it to the copper pins 3, a stable electrical connection platform is provided.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, the bottom of the bottom shell 16 is provided with a groove for placing the printed circuit board 4, and the side wall of the groove is provided with a plurality of claws 18, which are securely connected to the printed circuit board 4.

[0041] As described above, the groove and claw 18 design on the bottom shell 16 provide a corresponding limited installation space for the printed circuit board 4, and the claw 18 enables quick locking, reducing the possibility of the PCB becoming loose due to vibration and ensuring connection stability.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the conductive terminal of this utility model also includes a terminal wire 5, which is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 4.

[0043] As described above, by adding terminal wire 5, a standard interface for connecting external wires to the internal circuit of the terminal is provided, simplifying the connection process of external wiring and realizing a solderless, fast and reliable electrical connection.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in the conductive terminal of this utility model, a limiting groove 19 is formed at the bottom of the bottom shell 16, and the end of the terminal wire 5 away from the printed circuit board 4 extends out from the limiting groove 19.

[0045] As described above, the limiting groove 19 structure provides a channel for the terminal wire 5 to extend, and limits its movement to prevent the terminal wire 5 from being twisted or excessively displaced and damaged from the connection with the PCB, thereby improving mechanical strength and connection reliability.

One end of the elastic element 33 abuts against the bottom of the inner cavity of the needle body 32, and the other end of the elastic element 33 abuts against the contact head 31. The contact head 31 is movably disposed on the needle body 32 in the vertical height direction through the elastic element 33.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 1 includes an upper cover 11 and a bottom shell 16. The upper cover 11 is detachably mounted on the bottom shell 16. The bottom shell 16 has a slot 17, and the upper cover 11 has a downwardly extending locking post 12 that is correspondingly embedded in the slot 17. To further secure the upper cover 11 and the bottom shell 16, the locking post 12 has a corresponding first screw hole, and the bottom of the slot 17 has a corresponding second screw hole, allowing bolts to pass through the first and second screw holes to secure the upper cover 11 and the bottom shell 16. Figure 4As shown, a racetrack-shaped groove 13 is formed on the upper surface of the cover 11, and a through hole 14 is formed at the bottom of the groove 13. Correspondingly, the sliding cover 2 includes a sliding plate portion 21 and a fixing portion 22 connected to each other. The sliding plate portion 21 is slidably disposed on the groove 13, and the fixing portion 22 extends downward through the through hole 14. The fixing portion 22 is provided with two locking portions 23, which engage with the bottom of the cover 11 to prevent the sliding cover 2 from falling off. In addition, there are four moving surfaces on the side wall of the through hole 14, and three arc-shaped locking positions 15 are formed on each moving surface. The fixing portion 22 is provided with four arc-shaped protrusions 24 corresponding to the moving surfaces one by one. Each arc-shaped protrusion 24 is slidably disposed on the three arc-shaped locking positions 15 of each moving surface.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a printed circuit board 4 and terminal wires 5 that are electrically connected to each other. The printed circuit board 4 is electrically connected to the copper pins 3. The bottom of the bottom shell 16 has a groove for placing the printed circuit board 4. Two claws 18 are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the groove, and both claws 18 are securely connected to the printed circuit board 4. At the same time, a limiting groove 19 is provided at the bottom of the bottom shell 16, and the end of the terminal wire 5 away from the printed circuit board 4 extends out from the limiting groove 19.

[0049] In summary, the conductive terminal provided by this utility model: (1) When there is a left-right deviation in the slot size, the copper pin 3 can be moved to achieve mutual compensation for the deviation, with a compensation distance of up to 3mm. At the same time, if there is a vertical deviation in the slot size, the copper pin 3 can be used to achieve a 3.5mm expansion and contraction. (2) The conductive terminal described in this utility model is small and lightweight, allowing for slots with errors. At the same time, it is easy to install, and can efficiently achieve independent installation and eliminate the hassle of soldering wiring.
