Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the electrical field, and more particularly to electrical connection devices, especially a side-entry direct-plug electrical connector. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical connectors are widely used in circuit connections. In existing technology, electrical connectors include a housing containing a conductor and two spring contacts. The conductor includes a U-shaped portion, with a left horizontal conductive portion and a right horizontal conductive portion connected to its two ends. The left spring contact is located on the left side of the U-shaped portion and below the left horizontal conductive portion. When a wire is inserted horizontally, one end of the spring contact biases the wire onto the lower side of the left horizontal conductive portion. This structure results in a complex shape for the conductor, leading to a complex manufacturing process, lower production efficiency, and higher material consumption and cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a side-entry direct-insertion electrical connector, which aims to solve the technical problem of low production efficiency of electrical connectors in the prior art.

[0004] This utility model discloses a side-entry direct-plug electrical connector, comprising a housing, with conductive connection chambers respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the housing. A conductor, shaped like a long strip plate, is disposed within the housing, with its left end positioned in the left conductive connection chamber and its right end extending horizontally into the right conductive connection chamber. Each of the two conductive connection chambers contains a wiring assembly, symmetrically arranged. Each wiring assembly includes a mounting base, a fixing base, a spring contact, a insertion hole, a reset slot, and a reset push block. In the left conductive connection chamber, the mounting base and the fixing base... All bases are fixedly connected to the housing. The mounting base is located above the left end of the conductor, and the fixed base is located to the right of the mounting base. The spring is mounted on the spring mounting base, with its upper end fixedly wound around the fixed base. The lower end of the spring is offset on the upper surface of the conductor. The insertion hole is located on the left side of the conductive connection chamber on the left side. The reset groove extends downward in an arc from the upper surface of the housing to the conductive connection chamber on the left side. The reset push block is located in the reset groove, and a limit block is provided in the reset groove. The reset push block is provided with a limit groove that cooperates with the limit block. The reset push block and the reset groove are configured as a sliding pair along the extension path of the reset groove.

[0005] Furthermore, a marking strip mounting groove is provided on the left side, the top surface, and the right side of the housing.

[0006] Furthermore, a track mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, a series connector slot is provided on the housing above the middle of the conductor.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are positive and obvious. The conductor of this invention is elongated and extends horizontally, which simplifies the shape and structure of the conductor, simplifies the production process of the conductor, eliminates complex bending procedures, improves production efficiency, uses less material, and reduces costs.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Any similar variations using the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. The use of directions such as up, down, front, back, left, right, center, inside, and outside in the present invention is only for the convenience of clear description and is not intended to limit the technical solution of the present invention.

[0019] like Figures 1-9 As shown, this utility model discloses a side-entry direct-plug electrical connector, comprising a housing 1. A conductive connection chamber is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the housing 1. A conductor 2, which is elongated and flat, is disposed within the housing 1. The left end of the conductor 2 is located in the left conductive connection chamber, and the right end extends horizontally to the right conductive connection chamber. Each of the two conductive connection chambers contains a wiring assembly, which is symmetrically arranged. Each wiring assembly includes a mounting base 3, a fixing base 4, a spring contact 5, a plug hole 6, a reset groove 7, and a reset push block 8. In the left conductive connection chamber, the mounting base 3 and the fixing base 4 are connected to the housing. The body 1 is fixedly connected. The mounting base 3 is located above the left end of the conductor 2. The fixing base 4 is located to the right of the mounting base 3. The spring piece 5 is mounted on the spring piece mounting base 3. The upper end of the spring piece 5 is fixedly wound around the fixing base 4. The lower end of the spring piece 5 is offset on the upper surface of the conductor 2. The insertion hole 6 is located on the left side of the conductive connection chamber on the left side. The reset groove 7 extends downward in an arc shape from the upper surface of the housing 1 to the conductive connection chamber on the left side. The reset push block 8 is located in the reset groove 7. The reset groove 7 is provided with a limit block 11. The reset push block 8 is provided with a limit groove that cooperates with the limit block 11. The reset push block 8 and the reset groove 7 are configured as a sliding pair along the extension path of the reset groove 7.

[0020] Furthermore, a marking strip mounting groove 9 is provided on the left side, the top surface, and the right side of the housing 1.

[0021] Furthermore, a track mounting groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0022] Furthermore, a series connector slot 12 is provided on the housing 1 above the middle part of the conductor 2.

[0023] Specifically, the specific structure and principle of components such as the spring piece 5, the marking strip mounting groove 9, the track mounting groove 10, and the tandem component slot 12 in this utility model, as well as other aspects not described in detail, all adopt known solutions in the prior art, which are already understood by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated here.

[0024] The working principle of this embodiment: like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after installing the electrical connector on the track using the track mounting slot 10, the wires are inserted into the insertion holes 6 on both sides respectively. The spring piece 5 presses the wires against the conductor 2, making the two wires electrically connected. Then, as... Figure 5 As shown, a marker strip is inserted into the marker strip mounting slot 9. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a series connector is inserted into the series connector slot 12. The series connector is connected to the conductor 2, allowing multiple connectors to be used in series. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when removing the wire, insert a screwdriver into the reset slot 7 and push the reset push block 8 downwards. This causes the reset push block 8 to move in an arc along the reset slot 7, pushing the lower end of the spring piece 5 to release the wire, allowing it to be removed. The limit block 11 prevents the reset push block 8 from detaching upwards from the reset slot 7.

[0025] The conductor 2 of this utility model is long and extends horizontally, which simplifies the shape and structure of the conductor 2, simplifies the production process of the conductor 2, eliminates complex bending processes, improves production efficiency, uses less material, and reduces costs. On this basis, the mounting base 3, fixing base 4, spring piece 5, wire insertion hole 6, reset groove 7, and reset push block 8 are reasonably arranged, making the internal structure of the housing 1 more compact and optimizing space utilization.
