Terminal block with rotary locking handle

Abstract

This disclosure relates to a terminal block with a rotary locking handle. The terminal block includes a female terminal and a male terminal. The female terminal has a top wall, at least one slot, and two slots. The male terminal includes a male terminal body and two rotary locking handles. The male terminal body has a bottom wall and two side walls. The male terminal body further has at least one plug formed in the bottom wall and inserted into at least one slot, two notches recessed at the junction of the bottom wall and the two side walls, and two protruding arc-shaped inner walls formed in the inner edges of the two notches and connected to the bottom wall. Each rotary locking handle is pivotally connected to each side wall. Each rotary locking handle has an outer peripheral surface and an inner surface. Each outer peripheral surface has an abutting section that abuts against the top wall and extends with hooks and arc-shaped protruding sections arranged on both sides of the abutting section. Each hook engages with each slot. Each inner surface extends with a push block that extends into each notch.

Claims

1. A terminal block with a rotary locking handle, comprising: A female terminal has a top wall, at least one slot and two grooves formed from the top wall; and a male terminal includes: a male terminal body having a bottom wall and two side walls disposed on the left and right sides of the bottom wall, the male terminal body further having at least one plug formed in the bottom wall and inserted into the at least one slot, two notches recessed from the junction of the bottom wall and the two side walls, and two protruding arc-shaped inner walls formed in the inner edges of the two notches and connected to the bottom wall; and two rotary locking handles pivotally connected to the two side walls, each rotary locking handle having an outer peripheral surface and an inner surface, each outer peripheral surface having an abutting section abutting the top wall and extending a hook and an arc-shaped protruding section disposed on both sides of the abutting section, each hook engaging with each groove, and each inner surface extending a push block extending into each notch; When each of the rotating locking handles is turned to the point where each of the hooks disengages from each of the slots, each of the push blocks slides along the inner wall of each of the protruding arcs to push against the bottom wall, and each of the arc protruding sections rotates to push against the top wall, thereby pulling the at least one plug out of the at least one slot.

2. The terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 1, wherein each push block is adjacent to and parallel to each abutment segment, and the bottom of each push block and each abutment segment are on the same surface and abut against the top wall together with each abutment segment.

3. The terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 1, wherein each sidewall extends a pivot, each inner sidewall is provided with a pivot hole, and each pivot is pivotally connected to each pivot hole.

4. The terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 3, wherein each of the side walls further extends a protrusion disposed above each of the notches and on one of the left or right sides of each of the pivots, each of the inner sides having a plurality of interconnected positioning holes, each of the protrusions being slidably inserted through the plurality of positioning holes and engaging with any of the positioning holes.

5. The terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 4, wherein the plurality of positioning holes are divided into a first positioning hole, a second positioning hole and a third positioning hole arranged sequentially from bottom to top; when each of the protruding rods is engaged in the first positioning hole, each of the abutting sections abuts against the top wall; when each of the protruding rods is engaged in the second positioning hole, each of the pushing blocks abuts against the junction of the arc-shaped inner wall and the bottom wall; when each of the protruding rods is engaged in the third positioning hole, the most convex end of each arc-shaped protruding section pushes against the top wall.

6. A terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 3, wherein each rotary locking handle extends a handle at one end away from each abutment segment.

7. A terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 1, wherein each of the latches is an L-shaped latch.

8. The terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 1, wherein the terminal socket includes a socket housing, the top wall being formed on the top of the socket housing, the socket housing having a left wall, a right wall and a rear wall disposed on the left, right and rear sides of the top wall, one of the slots being formed from the left wall and the rear wall, and the other slot being formed from the right wall and the rear wall.

9. The terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 8, wherein the terminal socket further includes at least one female terminal, the socket housing further has a front wall disposed on the front side of the top wall, one end of the at least one female terminal is received in the at least one slot and the other end is exposed on the front wall.

10. The terminal block with a rotary locking handle as described in claim 9, wherein the male terminal further includes at least one male terminal that is received in the at least one plug and is electrically connected to the at least one female terminal.
