Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wiring structure technology, and specifically to a wiring device. Background Technology

[0002] This section provides only background information relevant to this disclosure and does not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Currently, cables are typically secured with screws when inserted into sockets, requiring specialized tools and personnel for wiring. The actual wiring process involves inserting the cable between the screw and the socket plate, then using a specialized screwdriver with the required torque to tighten the screw. This is inconvenient for users, slows down the wiring process, wastes time and manpower, and is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the problems of inconvenient wiring operation, low wiring efficiency, and waste of manpower and time caused by the current method of locking cables with screws, and thus provide a wiring device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: In a first aspect, this utility model provides a wiring device, comprising: A housing, the housing including a cable opening; A wire-locking component is installed in the housing. The wire-locking component includes an elastic member and a wire-locking member. The wire-locking member includes a first end connected to the elastic member and a second end extending to a preset operating range. By applying force or mechanical energy to the second end within the preset operating range, the elastic member deforms, causing the locking member to move between a loosened position and a locked position.

[0006] To further optimize the technical solution, the preset operating range protrudes beyond the outer surface of the housing, or the preset operating range is flush with the outer surface of the housing.

[0007] To further optimize the technical solution, a positioning element is provided inside the housing. The positioning element cooperates with the second end of the locking member to keep the locking member in the loose position or the locked position.

[0008] To further optimize the technical solution, the locking member is provided with a clamping hole. When the elastic member deforms, the locking member moves between a locked position and a loosened position, thereby changing the opening of the clamping hole to lock or loosen the inserted cable.

[0009] The technical solution is further optimized by providing a through hole on the locking member, and the third end of the elastic member that is not connected to the locking member moves through the through hole to divide the through hole into the clamping hole and the movable hole. When the locking member moves toward the side closer to the elastic member, the diameter of the clamping hole decreases to lock the inserted cable; when the locking member moves away from the elastic member, the diameter of the clamping hole increases to release the inserted cable.

[0010] To further optimize the technical solution, a limiting member is provided on the second end of the locking member, and the limiting member moves in conjunction with the second end to limit the travel range of the locking member.

[0011] To further optimize the technical solution, an insulating component is provided on the limiting component.

[0012] To further optimize the technical solution, an anti-detachment component is provided between the insulating component and the limiting component.

[0013] To further optimize the technical solution, the limiting member is provided with a first limiting part, and the housing is provided with a first mating part. The travel of the locking wire member into the housing is limited by the first mating part abutting against the first limiting part.

[0014] To further optimize the technical solution, a second limiting part is provided on the limiting member, and a second mating part is provided on the housing. The travel of the locking wire member to move out of the housing is limited by the second mating part abutting against the second limiting part.

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model provides a wiring device that simplifies the operation process. It eliminates the need for specialized tools and personnel, allowing for cable locking and unlocking directly by external force driving the locking component. This makes operation more convenient for users, enabling them to easily and quickly tighten and loosen cables. It eliminates the torque control steps required for traditional screw tightening, reducing wiring time, saving labor costs, and improving overall work efficiency.

[0016] This invention can loosen and tighten cables by applying force directly within a preset operating range. The second end of the locking component is directly used as the operating handle, eliminating the need to assemble other components to drive the second end of the wiring device. This reduces the types and number of parts, making the overall size of the device smaller, and is especially suitable for miniaturized and integrated electrical equipment designs.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] Currently, cables are typically secured with screws when inserted into sockets, requiring specialized tools and personnel for wiring. The actual wiring process involves inserting the cable between the screw and the socket plate, then using a specialized screwdriver with the required torque to tighten the screw. This is inconvenient for users, slows down the wiring process, wastes time and manpower, and is inefficient.

[0022] To solve this technical challenge, a new structure using spring-loaded wire-clamping terminals has emerged on the market. Combined with... Figure 6 As shown, the wire clamping component 1 includes a positioning section 122, a pressing section 124, and a locking section 123 connected in sequence. The positioning section 122 and the pressing section 124 form an unclosed pressing ring. The wire clamping component 1 needs to use a lever structure 7 to drive the unclosed pressing ring and the locking section to move, thereby achieving the function of clamping or releasing the wire through the locking section. However, the lever structure 7 directly abuts against the pressing ring, and the pressing ring needs to be driven by the movement of the lever structure 7. Since the pressing ring of the wire clamping component 1 is arranged inside the housing 4, in order to facilitate the operation of the lever structure 7, part of the lever structure 7 often needs to be arranged inside the housing 4, and another part needs to be exposed outside the housing 4. This results in a large volume of the lever structure 7, occupying a large space inside the housing 4, making the product structure more complex. The lever structure 7 needs to be assembled inside the housing to be used normally, which undoubtedly increases the assembly difficulty and leads to an increase in parts cost and labor assembly cost.

[0023] Based on this, the present invention provides a wiring device, which sets the wire clamping component as an elastic member and a wire locking member, and sets the wire locking member as a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the elastic member, and the second end is a free end that extends to a preset operating range. Thus, the wire locking and releasing can be controlled by directly operating the second end of the wire locking member. The whole process does not require the intervention of a lever structure, which significantly simplifies the operation steps, reduces the internal space occupied by the housing, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0024] In addition, since the lever structure 7 in the technology directly abuts against the compression ring of the wire clamping component 1, the contact part between the lever structure 7 and the compression ring is prone to wear after long-term use, which affects the accuracy of driving the compression ring.

[0025] Correspondingly, the wiring device provided by this utility model directly operates on the second end (free end) of the locking wire component without the need for any intermediate transmission components, thereby completely eliminating the contact wear problem, ensuring that the force transmission of the driving locking wire component is more direct and accurate, and further reducing maintenance requirements and potential failure rate.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the wiring device of this utility model.

[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a wiring device is provided, including a housing 4 and a wire-clamping component 1. The housing 4 includes a cable opening 43. The wire-clamping component 1 is installed in the housing 4, and the wire-clamping component 1 includes an elastic member 12 and a wire-locking member 11. The wire-locking member 11 includes a first end connected to the elastic member 12 and a second end extending to a preset operating range.

[0028] By applying force or mechanical energy to the second end within a preset operating range, the elastic member 12 deforms, causing the locking member 11 to move between a loose position and a locked position. The loose position is where the cable 5 can be pulled out, and the locked position is where the cable 5 can be locked. The movement of the locking member 11 between the loose and locked positions allows for the locking or unlocking of the cable 5.

[0029] It should be noted that the preset operating range refers to the range that can be operated by hand. However, in certain specific scenarios, tools such as screwdrivers can be used to assist in operation in order to achieve better operating results. For example, in scenarios where the wiring device is installed in a narrow gap or embedded mounting slot, where the space for hand operation is limited, tools such as screwdrivers can act as a force transmission medium, replacing fingers to reach into the limited space to contact the second end of the locking component. By rotating or pressing, the deformation degree of the elastic component 12 can be controlled more precisely, ensuring that the locking component 11 is stably switched to the target position.

[0030] In this application, the second end is a free end and is not connected to any position on the elastic member 12, providing sufficient redundancy for operation. Whether the force is applied directly by hand or indirectly with the help of a tool, there will be no motion interference due to the connection between the second end and the elastic member 12.

[0031] The elastic member 12 and the locking member 11 are integrated. Their integrated molding structure allows the elastic force of the elastic member 12 to be directly and evenly transmitted to the locking member 11. When force or mechanical energy is applied to the second end (free end) of the locking member 11, the elastic member 12 can simultaneously undergo a corresponding degree of deformation, ensuring that the switching action of the locking member 11 between the loose position and the locked position is smooth and precise.

[0032] The aforementioned wiring device simplifies the operation process, requiring no professional personnel. The locking component 11 can be directly driven by external force to lock and unlock the cable 5, making it more convenient for users to quickly and easily tighten and loosen the cable 5. It eliminates the torque control steps required for traditional screw tightening, reducing wiring time, saving labor costs, and improving overall work efficiency.

[0033] The above-mentioned wiring device can loosen and tighten the cable 5 by directly applying force to the second end of the locking member 11 by hand or with the aid of tools within the preset operating range. That is, the second end of the locking member 11 is directly used as the operating handle, so there is no need to assemble other components to drive the movement of the second end of the wiring device. This reduces the types and number of parts, and makes the overall size of the device smaller, which is especially suitable for miniaturized and integrated electrical equipment design.

[0034] When the wire clamping component 1 is installed onto the housing 4, it can be directly assembled and fixed to the housing 4, or the wire clamping component 1 can be first assembled onto the conductive sheet 44, and then the conductive sheet 44 can be used to indirectly assemble and fix the wire clamping component 1. Specific assembly and fixing methods include slot limiting installation, welding, and other feasible implementation methods. It should also be noted that this type of installation method requires that the second end of the wire clamping component, which is the free end, extends to the preset operating position.

[0035] In some embodiments, the locking member 11 is provided with a clamping hole 141. When the elastic member 12 deforms, the opening of the clamping hole 141 changes, causing the locking member 11 to move between a locked position and a loosened position to lock or release the inserted cable 5. In this embodiment, the clamping hole 141 has a hole-like structure. After the cable is inserted, it forms circumferential contact with the hole wall. Compared with the single-point pressing of traditional screws or the partial clamping of spring clips, the contact area is larger, the clamping force is more evenly distributed, the risk of cable loosening due to vibration and pulling is reduced, and the stability of the electrical connection is improved.

[0036] More specifically, the locking member 11 is provided with a through hole 14, and the third end of the elastic member 12, which is not connected to the locking member 11, extends movably through the through hole 14 to divide the through hole 14 into a clamping hole 141 and a movable hole 142. When the locking member 11 moves, the elastic member 12 undergoes relative displacement within the movable hole 142, causing a change in the diameter of the clamping hole 141. For example, when the locking member 11 moves closer to the elastic member 12, the diameter of the clamping hole 141 decreases, and the diameter of the movable hole 142 increases to lock the inserted cable 5. When the locking member 11 moves away from the elastic member 12, the diameter of the clamping hole 141 increases, and the diameter of the movable hole 142 decreases to release the inserted cable 5.

[0037] The clamping hole 141 is formed by the through hole 14 being separated by the elastic member 12, and its edge can be a continuous hole wall structure to enhance the rigidity of the locking member 11. When the diameter of the clamping hole 141 is reduced, the elastic member and the locking member can interact to clamp the cable 5. Compared with the single point or line contact of the traditional spring-type terminal, it not only has a larger contact area, but also a more stable and firm clamping.

[0038] In addition, a gap is left between the third end of the elastic member 12 and the wall of the through hole 14, which provides a stable guide for the movement of the locking member 11 and avoids friction and jamming between the two.

[0039] As an alternative embodiment, the third end does not extend through the through hole 14 but is directly fixed to the housing 4. A column is provided on the housing 4, passing through the through hole 14 and dividing it into a clamping hole 141 and a movable hole 142. For example, the circumferential surface of the column can be an arc-shaped groove, an arc-shaped convex groove, or a plane; that is, the column is a rectangular column. In this embodiment, the axial direction of the column is perpendicular to the moving direction of the locking member 11, and the column directly engages with the housing 4 via the locking member 11. During the locking and releasing of the wire, the column ensures that the third end is fixed, and only the relative displacement between the locking member 11 and the column changes the opening of the clamping hole 141.

[0040] Furthermore, a gap can be left between the post and the wall of the through hole 14, which provides a stable guide for the movement of the locking component 11 and avoids friction and jamming between the two.

[0041] In some embodiments, the wire clamping component 1 can be fixed to the conductive sheet 44 through the through hole 14. Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 1 As shown, an assembly structure 46 is provided on the conductive sheet 44. This assembly structure 46 can cooperate with the through hole 14 to fix the wire clamping component 1 onto the conductive sheet 44. The conductive sheet 44 is limited by the conformal limiting groove in the housing 4, thus fixing the wire clamping component 1 inside the housing 4. The assembly structure 46 can be a hook or a column. For example, during assembly, the third end is squeezed to move away from the wire locking component 11, thereby enlarging the diameter of the wire clamping hole 141 in the through hole 14. Then, the assembly structure 46 on the conductive sheet 44 is inserted into the wire clamping hole 141 of the through hole 14. Releasing the third end, which, under the influence of elasticity, can move closer to the wire locking component 11, thereby reducing the diameter of the wire clamping hole 141. This tightly clamps the assembly structure 46 of the conductive sheet 44 into the wire clamping hole 141, thus fixing the wire clamping component 1 onto the conductive sheet 44. This assembly method eliminates the need to weld the wire clamping component 1 to the conductive sheet 44, reducing assembly difficulty and preventing the wire clamping component 1 from being unable to be fixed in the housing 4 due to solder joint detachment during subsequent use, thus enhancing assembly reliability.

[0042] More specifically, the elastic member 12 includes a connecting section 121 and a positioning section 122. The first end of the locking member 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting section 121, and the other end of the connecting section 121 is connected to one end of the positioning section 122. The other end (i.e., the third end) of the positioning section 122 extends movably through the through hole 14. In this connection structure, a clamping hole 141 is formed between the outer wall of the positioning section 122 and the wall surface of the through hole 14 on the side away from the connecting section 121, allowing the cable 5 to pass through. When the clamping member 1 is installed in the housing 4, the positioning section 122 remains stationary relative to the housing 4. When no external force is applied to the second end of the locking member 11, the elastic member 12 is in its initial position due to its own elasticity. At this time, the inner wall of the through hole 14 away from the connecting section 121 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the positioning section 122, the opening of the clamping hole 141 is at its minimum, and the opening of the movable hole 142 is at its maximum. When an external force is applied to the second end of the locking member 11, causing it to move away from the connecting section 121, since the positioning section 122 is stationary relative to the housing 4, the inner wall of the through hole 14 away from the connecting section 121 will separate from the outer wall of the positioning section 122, and the opening of the clamping hole 141 will increase until the opening of the movable hole 142 is at its minimum. Through this structure, the opening of the clamping hole 141 can be changed, thereby completing the switching of the locking member 1 between the locking position and the loosening position.

[0043] This embodiment optimizes the structural design. By controlling the movement of the locking component 11, the opening of the clamping hole 141 formed by the locking component 11 and the positioning section 122 is changed, thereby achieving locking or unlocking. The entire process does not require complex multi-step operations or tool assistance, and a single person can easily install, adjust, and remove the cable, greatly improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, when no external force is applied to the second end of the locking component 11, the elastic component 12 maintains its initial state by its own elasticity, keeping the opening of the clamping hole 141 at its minimum. This provides a stable clamping force for subsequent cable clamping, effectively preventing the cable from accidentally loosening due to vibration, pulling, or other reasons. At the same time, the design of the positioning section 122 being stationary relative to the housing 4 reduces the risk of locking failure caused by structural displacement, further ensuring the stability of the locking mechanism.

[0044] The locking component 11, connecting section 121, and positioning section 122 enclose an unclosed compression ring. The wire clamping component 1 is an elastic element. When the wire clamping component 1 is in the locked position, the compression ring is in an expanded configuration; when the wire clamping component 1 is in the loose position, the compression ring is in a compressed configuration, storing elastic potential energy. When the external force on the second end is removed and the wire clamping component 1 switches from the loose position to the locked position, the compression ring expands under its own elastic force, and the opening of the clamping hole 141 decreases to clamp the cable 5. In this embodiment, rapid automatic locking is achieved through the integrated elasticity of the components, simplifying the structure, reducing the number of parts, and lowering assembly complexity and cost. When the compression ring expands, it generates a continuous inward tightening force on the locking component 11, ensuring that the inner wall of the clamping hole 141 maintains stable pressure contact with the cable 5.

[0045] In some embodiments, the preset operating range protrudes from the outer surface of the housing 4, allowing the user to directly apply force (such as pressing or pushing) to the second end of the locking member 11 from outside the housing 4. Compared to the traditional screw-locking method, this eliminates the need to disassemble the housing 4 and expose the internal structure, significantly simplifying the wiring process. Furthermore, by directly applying force to the second end, the force application stroke is shorter, and the time spent on force transmission is reduced, resulting in faster and more stable wiring. Alternatively, the preset operating range can be flush with the outer surface of the housing 4, keeping the surface of the housing 4 smooth and preventing external interference or accidental contact, thus enhancing the overall reliability and durability of the device. Alternatively, the preset operating range can be located inside the housing 4, allowing the user to reach inside the housing 4 with a screwdriver or other tool to drive the second end.

[0046] The preset operating range is set outside the housing 4 and flush with the outer surface of the housing 4. Compared with the preset operating range being located inside the housing 4, there is no need to reserve space for hands or tools to be inserted into the housing 4, which reduces the volume of the housing 4 and is suitable for scenarios with limited installation space, thus improving the product's scenario adaptability.

[0047] Furthermore, the preset operating range and the cable opening 43 are located on different walls of the housing 4, and the cable 5 at the preset operating range and the cable opening 43 will not interfere with each other. For example, the preset operating range is located on the side of the housing 4, and the cable opening 43 is located on the top or bottom of the housing 4. As another example, the preset operating range is located on the top or bottom of the housing 4, and the cable opening 43 is located on the side of the housing 4.

[0048] In some embodiments, considering that when the locking member 11 is in the loose position, due to the elasticity of the locking member 11 itself, it is necessary to continuously apply force to the locking member 11; otherwise, the locking member 11 will reset under the elastic force, increasing the difficulty of operation. Therefore, in this application, a positioning member 2 is provided inside the housing 4, which cooperates with the second end of the locking member 11 to keep the locking member 11 in the loose position or the locked position. Correspondingly, this embodiment allows the locking member 11 to be held in a fixed position without the need to continuously apply force to the locking member 11.

[0049] The second end of the locking component 11 is provided with a positioning part 15, which forms a matching positioning structure with the positioning member 2 installed on the housing 4. Through a snap-fit ​​or disengagement mechanism, the locking component 11 can be fixed in a specific position, effectively preventing accidental movement when not in operation. The positioning member 2 and the positioning part 15 can be fitted together using a concave-convex fit, such as the positioning part 15 being designed as a groove or through hole, and the corresponding positioning member 2 being an elastic buckle, rib, or slider; locking and unlocking are achieved by the buckle / rib / slider engaging with or disengaging from the groove / through hole. Alternatively, the positioning member 2 and the positioning part 15 can be fitted together using a hook-like mechanism, such as the positioning member 2 being designed as a hook bending towards the second end of the locking component 11, and the positioning part 15 being designed as a hook bending in the opposite direction to the positioning member 2; the positioning of the locking component is achieved by the mutual hooking or disengagement of the two opposing hooks.

[0050] When the second end of the cable clamping component 1 is in the loose position driven by external force, the opening of the clamping hole 141 is at its maximum, and the cable can be freely inserted and removed. At this time, by engaging the positioning component 2 with the positioning part 15, the movement position of the cable locking component 11 can be restricted without continuously applying external force, so that the cable locking component 11 is fixed in the loose position, making it convenient for the user to insert and remove the cable with both hands.

[0051] When the wire clamping component 1 switches from the loose wire position to the locked wire position, by applying force or mechanical energy to the second end of the locking wire member 11 within a preset operating range, the positioning member 2 disengages from the positioning part 15, and the elastic member deforms under the action of elastic force, causing the locking wire member 11 to move towards the connecting section, thereby reducing the opening of the wire clamping hole 141.

[0052] The housing 4 is also provided with a reinforcing plate, which is connected to the positioning member 2 to increase the strength of the positioning member 2. For example, the reinforcing plate can be a plastic reinforcing rib or a stainless steel plate.

[0053] In some embodiments, a first guide portion 17 is provided at the end of the positioning member 2 near the elastic member 12. The first guide portion 17 has an inclined structure. The inclination of this inclined structure is such that the end near the loosened wire position is higher than the end away from the loosened wire position. When the locking member 11 moves to the loosened wire position, the inclined structure of the first guide portion 17 guides the positioning member 2 to engage with the positioning part 15, avoiding jamming problems caused by alignment errors and ensuring quick and accurate engagement between the positioning member 2 and the positioning part 15. During the movement of the locking member 11 from the loosened wire position to the locked wire position, the first guide portion 17 assists the positioning member 2 in smoothly disengaging from the positioning part 15, reducing mechanical impact or frictional resistance at the moment of disengagement and preventing wear of the components due to forced separation.

[0054] In some embodiments, a limiting member 3 is provided on the second end of the locking member 11. The limiting member 3 moves in conjunction with the second end of the locking member 11 to constrain the movement trajectory of the locking member 11 and limit its travel range. The limiting member 3 can be directly formed through structural optimization of the second end of the locking member 11, such as bending the end of the second end into a triangle or a shape with a limiting protrusion, or directly setting a limiting protrusion within a preset operating range of the second end. Alternatively, the edge of a specific section can be designed as a structure with a limiting function, thereby naturally limiting the maximum distance the locking member 11 can move inward or outward from the housing 4. The limiting member 3 can slide along with the movement of the second end, forcing the second end of the locking member 11 to move a maximum distance outward from and / or inward from the housing 4 through the sliding path of the limiting member 3.

[0055] More specifically, for the limiting member 3 set within the preset operating range, the shape of the limiting member 3 can be designed to facilitate the user's application of force, such as a flat surface with anti-slip texture, an arc-shaped protrusion, or a groove adapted for finger pressing. This design allows the limiting member 3 to not only achieve trajectory constraint and travel limitation functions, but also serve as a force application point for user operation, improving the convenience and comfort of operation, and making it easier for the user to directly operate the second end.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the limiting member 3 is provided with a first limiting part 31, and the housing 4 is provided with a first mating part 41. The first limiting part 31 is located outside the first mating part 41. By abutting the first limiting part 31 with the first mating part 41, the travel of the locking member 11 in the housing 4 is limited, so as to avoid the locking member 11 from excessively rebounding and causing the opening of the clamping hole 141 to be insufficient, thereby preventing the cable 5 from being inserted.

[0057] In some possible implementations, the limiting member 3 is provided with a second limiting part 32, and the housing 4 is provided with a second mating part 42. The second mating part 42 is located outside the second limiting part 32, and the travel of the locking member 11 to move out of the housing 4 is limited by the second mating part 42 abutting against the second limiting part 32.

[0058] In some embodiments, there is a gap between the second mating part 42 and the wall surface of the second end. This gap provides operating space for the user to operate the second end of the locking member 11, and also reserves necessary clearance for the disengagement of the positioning part 15 and the positioning member 2. Since the second mating part 42 and the positioning member 2 are located on both sides of the locking member 11, when the user moves the limiting member 3 on the second end toward the second mating part 42, it drives the locking member 11 to move away from the positioning member 2, causing the positioning member 2 to separate from the positioning part 15, thereby releasing the positioning constraint on the locking member 11, causing the locking member 1 to exit the loose state and switch to the locked state.

[0059] In some embodiments, the limiting member 3 is provided with an insulating member. More specifically, the operable portion of the limiting member 3 is encapsulated with a plastic part, so that the wire clamping component 1 and the plastic part are injection molded into a single part. The end of the wire clamping component 1 is encapsulated with plastic to make the product safer and easier to operate. The shape of the insulating member can be completely consistent with the shape of the limiting member 3, closely fitting the contour of the limiting member 3 to achieve conformal encapsulation and maintain a compact structure; or it can be designed as an independent form according to operational needs, such as adding arc-shaped protrusions, anti-slip textures, or grooves adapted for finger pressing on the operable portion, while retaining the insulation function and further optimizing the operating feel and force application efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments, an anti-detachment component is provided between the insulating component and the limiting component 3 to enhance the connection stability between the two, prevent the insulating component from separating from the limiting component 3 during long-term operation or vibration environment, and ensure long-term reliability of insulation function and operating feel. The specific form of the anti-detachment component can be flexibly selected according to connection requirements. It can be a mechanical interlocking structure, such as pre-setting grooves, protrusions, or barbs on the surface of the limiting component 3. When the insulating component is injection molded, the plastic material fills into these structures, forming a physical interlock, using the concave-convex fit to prevent the insulating component from falling off. It can also be a surface roughening treatment, such as roughening the surfaces of the limiting component 3 and the insulating component by drawing, sandblasting, or creating fine textures to increase the contact friction between the two, limiting the displacement of the insulating component through friction and reducing the risk of detachment. Alternatively, it can be an interlocking structure, such as providing through holes or notches on the limiting component 3, allowing the plastic material to pass through these holes or notches during injection molding to form an anchoring connection, making the insulating component and the limiting component 3 form a mutually interlocking whole, structurally eliminating the possibility of separation.

[0061] In some embodiments, the limiting member 3 is provided with an abutment portion 35, and the housing 4 is provided with an opening 45. When the wire clamping member 1 switches from the wire-locking position to the wire-loosening position, the opening 45 and the abutment portion 35 guide the prying member 6 to the prying force application point, so that when the prying member 6 applies force to the prying force application point, the wire clamping hole 141 expands. In this embodiment, the opening 45 of the housing 4 guides the prying member 6 to be inserted at a preset angle. After the prying member 6 is inserted, its end will naturally fit against the abutment portion 35 of the limiting member 3, ensuring that the force is directly transmitted to the limiting member, avoiding empty prying caused by force deviation, thereby ensuring that the wire clamping hole 141 can stably expand to the opening required for unlocking.

[0062] To further improve the positioning accuracy and smoothness of force application of the prying component 6, a second guide portion 33 can be added to the abutment portion 35, and a corresponding third guide portion 34 can be provided on the second mating portion 42. These two guide portions are typically designed as inclined or curved surfaces that adapt to the shape of the prying component 6: the second guide portion 33 can assist the end of the prying component 6 to quickly fit with the abutment portion 35, while the third guide portion 34 can correct angular deviations during the insertion of the prying component 6. The combination of the two further reduces the difficulty of operation and ensures that the prying action is efficient and labor-saving.

[0063] In some embodiments, the housing 4 is provided with a cable opening 43, which corresponds to the position of the wire clamping hole 141, so that the cable 5 can be inserted into the wire clamping hole 141 through the cable opening 43.

[0064] In some embodiments, a conductive sheet 44 is provided inside the housing 4, and the positioning segment 122 is fixedly connected to the conductive sheet 44.

[0065] The overall working process of the above wiring device is as follows: (a) Wiring process Moving the locking member 11 to the loosened position opens the clamping hole 141, facilitating the insertion of the cable 5. Specifically, when the locking member 11 is moved away from the elastic member 12 by the limiting member 3, the diameter of the clamping hole 141 expands, and the diameter of the movable hole 142 shrinks. At this time, the compression ring is in a compressed configuration, storing elastic potential energy. When the positioning member 2 engages with the positioning part 15 on the second end, the opening of the clamping hole 141 remains unchanged. At this time, the cable opening 43 corresponds to the clamping hole 141, and the cable 5 can be inserted into the clamping hole 141 through the cable opening 43.

[0066] After the cable 5 is inserted into the clamping hole 141, the locking member 11 is moved to the locking position, causing the clamping hole 141 to shrink and clamp the cable 5. Specifically, the limiting member 3 is pressed by hand or with a tool, causing the limiting member 3 to move away from the positioning member 2, thereby disengaging the positioning part 15 on the limiting member 3 from the positioning member 2. At this time, the position of the locking member 11 is no longer restricted by the positioning member 2. The compression ring expands under its own elastic force, thereby driving the locking member 11 to move closer to the connecting section 121. As the locking member 11 moves, the opening of the clamping hole 141 gradually decreases. Finally, with the cooperation of the locking member 11 and the positioning section 122, the cable 5 is clamped, ensuring a stable and reliable cable connection.

[0067] (II) Loosening the Thread Before the cable needs to be loosened, the clamping hole 141 is in a clamped state on the cable 5. To facilitate control of opening the clamping hole 141, such as... Figure 3As shown, insert a pry tool 6 (e.g., a flathead screwdriver) into the slot shown in the diagram, and pry outwards from the edge of the top cover of the housing 4, causing the cable clamping component 1 to move outwards, thus enlarging the diameter of the cable clamping hole 141. During this movement, the positioning part 15 of the cable clamping component 1 will re-establish a mating relationship with the positioning part 2 inside the housing. When the positioning part 15 of the cable clamping component 1 engages with the positioning part 2 on the housing, the cable clamping component 1 is positioned by the positioning part 2. At this time, the cable clamping hole 141 of the cable clamping component 1 opens to a sufficiently large opening, allowing the cable 5 to be pulled out, completing the cable loosening operation.

[0068] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
