Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of I / O module technology, specifically to an I / O module that is easy to wire. Background Technology

[0002] An I / O module is an industrial-grade remote data acquisition and control unit that features multiple functions, including switch input acquisition (dry contact), relay output control, and high-frequency pulse counting. It is widely used in signal acquisition and equipment control scenarios within industrial automation systems. Distributed I / O modules, with their advantages of high reliability, cost-effectiveness, ease of configuration, and support for flexible network cabling, are particularly suitable for geographically dispersed control systems, effectively reducing system integration complexity and engineering costs.

[0003] However, existing I / O modules still have significant shortcomings in their wiring methods. The commonly used method is to directly insert the copper core of the wire (after removing the insulation) into the terminal block and tighten it with bolts. Because the exposed copper wire surface is smooth, the friction between it and the terminal metal parts is low, resulting in insufficient clamping force. During equipment operation, if subjected to external forces such as vibration, pulling, or thermal expansion and contraction, the wire is prone to loosening or even falling off, causing signal interruption or poor contact.

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an I / O module that is easy to wire, thereby solving the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an I / O module that is easy to wire, thus solving the problems mentioned in the above-mentioned technical background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an IO module that is easy to wire, comprising an IO module, wherein terminal blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the IO module, and a plurality of connectors are fixedly connected inside the terminal blocks, wherein a clamping unit is provided above each connector, and the clamping unit is used to clamp the copper wire located on the connector.

[0007] The terminal block is equipped with a reinforcement unit at the connection port, which is used to reinforce the strength of the wires.

[0008] The reinforcement unit includes a reinforcement plate, which is fixedly connected to the terminal block;

[0009] The positioning rod is fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate;

[0010] A clamping plate is positioned directly above the reinforcing plate, and the clamping plate is slidably connected to the positioning rod;

[0011] A spring is sleeved around the positioning rod and positioned between the clamping plate and the reinforcing plate;

[0012] A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the clamping plate, and the clamping plate is located directly below the rotary knob;

[0013] The clamping unit pushes the connecting plate downwards, causing the clamping plate to press the wire downwards.

[0014] Preferably, each of the connectors has a slot on one side, which provides space for inserting wires.

[0015] Preferably, the clamping unit includes: a threaded rod, which is threadedly connected to the terminal block;

[0016] A rotary knob is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod;

[0017] A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded rod, and the clamping plate is positioned directly above the connecting seat.

[0018] Preferably, a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotary knob.

[0019] Preferably, the surface of the reinforcing plate is provided with a plurality of reinforcing grooves, and the reinforcing grooves are arranged at equal intervals on the reinforcing plate.

[0020] Preferably, the placement groove and the reinforcement groove are aligned.

[0021] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This easy-to-wire I / O module uses a rotary knob to drive a threaded rod downwards, simultaneously pressing down a clamping plate to firmly clamp the copper wire in the wire, securing it stably between the clamping plate and the connector. This structure achieves quick wire crimping and fixing through rotation, allowing wiring to be completed without tools, making it simple, time-saving, and labor-saving. Simultaneously, the clamping force is uniform and reliable, effectively preventing wire loosening due to vibration or external force, thus improving the safety and stability of the electrical connection.

[0023] This easy-to-connect IO module, by rotating a knob, drives the threaded rod to rotate and move downwards. The rotation of the knob simultaneously drives the pressure plate downwards, pushing the connecting plate smoothly down along the guide structure. This, in turn, causes the clamping plate to descend synchronously. During its descent, the clamping plate and the reinforcing plate fixed below form a counter-clamping action, together clamping the wire body. This not only presses the exposed copper wire against the conductive base but also mechanically secures the wire's insulation layer. This dual-clamping structure effectively enhances the stability of the connection, preventing the wire from shifting or loosening due to pulling, vibration, or other reasons.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] This embodiment discloses an I / O module that is easy to wire, according to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown, the device includes an IO module 1, with terminal blocks 2 fixedly installed at both ends of the IO module 1. Several connectors 3 are fixedly installed inside each terminal block 2. The connectors 3 are used to place the copper wires inside the wires, and the connectors 3 are arranged at equal intervals on the terminal block 2. A clamping unit is provided directly above each connector 3. The clamping unit consists of a clamping plate 4, a threaded rod 5, and a rotary knob 6. The clamping plate 4 is located directly above the connector 3. The threaded rod 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the clamping plate 4. The threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to the terminal block 2. The rotary knob 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded rod 5.

[0032] A placement slot 31 is provided on the front of the connector 3, which provides space for placing the wire;

[0033] A reinforcing unit is provided on the front of the terminal block 2. The reinforcing unit is used to strengthen the stability of the wires.

[0034] The reinforcement unit consists of a connecting plate 8, a clamping plate 9, a positioning rod 10, a spring 11, and a reinforcement plate 12. The reinforcement plate 12 is fixedly connected to the terminal block 2. Several reinforcement grooves 13 are provided on the top of the reinforcement plate 12. The reinforcement grooves 13 provide space for wire installation. The reinforcement grooves 13 are aligned with the placement grooves 31. Each reinforcement groove 13 has a positioning rod 10 on both sides. One end of the positioning rod 10 is fixedly installed on the reinforcement plate 12, and the other end of the positioning rod 10 is slidably connected to the clamping plate 9. Then, the spring 11 is sleeved around the positioning rod 10, and one end of the positioning rod 10 is fixedly installed on the reinforcement plate 12, and the other end is fixedly installed on the bottom of the clamping plate 9. The connecting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the clamping plate 9. A pressure plate 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotary knob 6 above the connecting plate 8.

[0035] Example 1: This example uses the copper wire on the compressed wire as an example, combined with the attached... Figure 1 Detailed Workflow: The workflow is as follows: Insert the wire into the placement slot 31 on the module housing, and place the copper wire portion after the insulation layer has been stripped flat on the conductive contact surface of the connector 3. Then, rotate the rotary knob 6 to drive the threaded rod 5 to rotate and move downward along the axial direction. The downward movement of the threaded rod 5 pushes the clamping plate 4 downward simultaneously, firmly clamping the copper wire portion of the wire and stably holding it between the clamping plate 4 and the connector 3.

[0036] This structure enables rapid crimping and fixing of wires through a rotational operation, allowing for tool-free wiring that is simple, time-saving, and labor-saving. Simultaneously, the clamping force is uniform and reliable, effectively preventing wire loosening due to vibration or external force, thus improving the safety and stability of the electrical connection.

[0037] Example 2: This example uses reinforced electrical wires as an example, combined with the attached... Figure 1 Detailed Workflow: The workflow is as follows: When the wire is inserted into the placement slot 31 through the reinforcement slot 13, initial positioning and support are achieved. Subsequently, rotating the rotary knob 6 causes the threaded rod 5 to rotate and move downwards. The rotation of the rotary knob 6 simultaneously drives the pressure plate 7 to move downwards. The pressure plate 7 pushes the connecting plate 8 to move smoothly downwards along the guide structure, thereby driving the clamping plate 9 to move downwards synchronously.

[0038] During its descent, the clamping plate 9 and the reinforcing plate 12 fixed below form a counter-clamping action, together clamping the wire body. This not only presses the exposed copper wire against the conductive base but also mechanically secures the wire insulation layer. This double-clamping structure effectively enhances the stability of the connection, preventing the wire from shifting or loosening due to pulling, vibration, or other reasons.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
