[0002] The present application relates to the field of electrical connection technology, and in particular to a fastening tool and processing equipment. Background Art

[0003] During the assembly of various electrical components and equipment, wiring terminals are often required. However, in the current process of connecting electrical components to wiring terminals through connectors, the wiring terminals are difficult to fix and easily move with the connectors, resulting in the wiring process failing to meet process requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a fastening tooling and processing equipment to address the problem that in the current process of connecting electrical components and terminal blocks through connectors, the terminal blocks are difficult to fix and easily move with the connectors, resulting in the wiring process failing to meet process requirements.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a fastening tool, the fastening tool comprising:

[0006] A fixed component having a rotation limit space; and

[0007] The fastening assembly includes a fastening part and a rotating part. The fastening part is connected to one end of the rotating part. The fastening part has a first rotating shaft passing through the rotating limit space. The rotating part and the fixing assembly are rotatably connected around the first rotating shaft.

[0008] Through the above structure, the rotation limit space can be used to fix the terminal, so that the rotating portion can drive the fastening portion and the connector to rotate about the first rotation axis relative to the fixed component. During the rotation process, the connector can be fixed in the target position, thereby fixing the terminal in the target position. At the same time, the fixed component can fix the terminal, reducing the probability of the terminal rotating with the connector, thereby making the wiring process more stable and ensuring that the wiring process meets the process requirements.

[0009] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member spaced apart along a first direction, and a rotation limiting space is formed between the first fixing member and the second fixing member;

[0010] The first direction is parallel to the rotation plane of the rotating part.

[0011] By setting the first fixing member and the second fixing member, a rotation limit space can be defined and the terminal can be limited in the rotation limit space along the first direction. In the process of the fastening assembly driving the connecting member to rotate, the terminal can be stably limited in the rotation limit space under the limiting action of the first fixing member and the second fixing member, thereby making the terminal more stable during the wiring process.

[0012] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly includes a limiting member having a restricted space, and at least a portion of the first fixing member and at least a portion of the second fixing member are restricted within the restricted space.

[0013] By setting a limiter, at least part of the first fixing member and the second fixing member can be restricted within the fiber space, and the terminal block can be limited in the rotation limit space in the first direction and the second direction respectively, so that the terminal block can be more stably accommodated in the rotation limit space, thereby further improving the stability of the terminal block during the wiring process.

[0014] In some embodiments, the limiting member includes a limiting ring having a limiting space, and the first fixing member and the second fixing member are both provided with a limiting portion, which protrudes into the limiting space of the limiting ring.

[0015] The limiting ring can cooperate with the limiting parts on the first fixing member and the second fixing member to ensure that the limiting parts are stably limited in the limiting space of the limiting ring, so that the connecting terminal can be more stably accommodated in the rotation limiting space.

[0016] In some embodiments, the limiting rings include two, and limiting portions are protruded from two side surfaces of the first fixing member and the second fixing member that are opposite to each other along the second direction;

[0017] Each limiting ring is movably sleeved on the limiting portion on the same side surface of the first fixing member and the second fixing member along the second direction.

[0018] By setting a limiting ring and a limiting part cooperating therewith, it is possible to limit the terminal block in the rotation limiting space along the second direction, and it is also possible to adjust the size of the rotation limiting space in the second direction, so that the rotation limiting space can be suitable for terminal blocks and wires of various sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the fastening tooling.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first fixing member and the second fixing member both include a main body and a movable part, and the main bodies are spaced along the first direction to form a first sub-limiting space, and the movable parts are movably arranged on the corresponding main body, and are spaced along the first direction to form a second sub-limiting space with adjustable size.

[0020] By setting up the main body, the wire connected to the terminal can be confined in the first sub-limiting space. By setting up the movable part that is movable relative to the main body, the size of the second sub-limiting space can be adjusted, so that the second sub-limiting space can meet the requirements of accommodating and limiting terminal blocks of different shapes and sizes.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first fixing member and the second fixing member both include a second rotating shaft and a locking member. The movable portion is rotatably connected to the main body portion around the second rotating shaft, and the locking member is detachably connected between the movable portion and the main body portion.

[0022] The second rotation axis provides a rotational basis for relative rotation between the movable portion and the main body, enabling the movable portion to rotate relative to the main body about the second rotation axis, thereby adjusting the size of the second sub-limiting space. Furthermore, the locking member can secure the movable portion at a target position. That is, after the size of the second sub-limiting space is adjusted, the locking member can secure the movable portion to the main body, thereby stably retaining the terminal within the second sub-limiting space.

[0023] In some embodiments, an adjustment hole is provided on the main body, at least a portion of the movable portion is exposed in the adjustment hole, and the locking member is passed through the adjustment hole.

[0024] Through the above structure, the movable part can be flexibly rotated or locked relative to the main body, which makes it easy to adjust the size of the second sub-clamping position through the movable part, so that the size of the second sub-clamping position can meet the needs of terminal blocks of different shapes and sizes, so that the terminal blocks can be more stably accommodated in the second sub-clamping position.

[0025] In some embodiments, a connecting hole exposed in the adjusting hole is opened on the movable part, and the locking member is passed through the adjusting hole and the connecting hole and is fixedly connected to the main body.

[0026] The connecting hole can cooperate with the adjusting hole, so that the locking piece can be sequentially passed through the adjusting hole and the connecting hole, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the movable part and the main body through the locking piece.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first fixing member is provided with a first protruding member, the second fixing member is provided with a second protruding member, the first protruding member and the second protruding member are spaced apart along the second direction, and the rotating portion is restricted between the first protruding member and the second protruding member along the second direction;

[0028] The second direction is arranged to intersect with a rotation plane in which the fastening component rotates relative to the fixing component.

[0029] Thus, the first protruding member and the second protruding member can limit the rotation process of the fastening assembly along the second direction, so that the fastening assembly can rotate more stably along a fixed path, thereby improving the stability of the wiring process.

[0030] In some embodiments, the fastening tool further includes an elastic member, which is elastically connected between the fixing assembly and the rotating part along the rotation direction of the rotating part.

[0031] By providing the elastic member, the rotating portion can be automatically reset during the rotation process, thereby improving the operating efficiency during the wiring process.

[0032] In a second aspect, the present application further provides a processing device, comprising the fastening tooling as described above, the processing device being used to connect terminal blocks and electrical components.

[0033] The above-mentioned fastening tooling and processing equipment, when using a connector to fix the terminal block to the target position of the electrical component, fixes the terminal block through the fixing component, connects the connector to the terminal block, and then controls the fastening component to drive the connector block to rotate relative to the fixing component. During the rotation process, the connector block can be fixed at the target position, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the terminal block at the target position; at the same time, since the terminal block is always limited by the fixing component during the rotation process, the terminal block can remain fixed and does not rotate with the connector block, thereby improving wiring efficiency, making the terminal block more firmly fixed at the target position, and easy to operate.

[0049] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only embodiment.

[0050] The production and processing processes in various fields involve the assembly and wiring of electrical components, that is, it is necessary to connect wires to the target positions of electrical components to achieve electrical connections between electrical components and external devices or internal connections of electrical components.

[0051] In the field of power batteries, for example, in battery assembly and energy storage valve structures, a large number of electrical components need to be assembled and connected.

[0052] Currently, during the wiring process, the wires need to be connected to the wiring terminals first, then the wiring terminals are connected to the connectors, and finally the connectors are fixed to the target position of the electrical component, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the wiring terminals and the wires on the electrical component.

[0053] However, during the aforementioned connection process, as the connector is rotated to secure it in the desired position, the terminal block can easily rotate with it. Furthermore, since the terminal block is typically an O-shaped terminal block or other irregularly shaped, securing it is difficult. This further increases the difficulty of the wiring process and reduces wiring efficiency. Furthermore, the terminal block's rotation with the connector can cause the wiring process to fail to meet process requirements, impacting the overall assembly of the electrical component.

[0054] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem that the wiring terminals are difficult to fix during the current wiring process, resulting in low wiring efficiency and inconvenient operation, one or more embodiments of the present application provide a fastening tool. When using a connector to fix the wiring terminal to the target position of the electrical component, the wiring terminal is fixed by a fixing component, the connector is connected to the wiring terminal, and then the fastening component is controlled to drive the connector to rotate relative to the fixing component. During the rotation process, the connector can be fixed at the target position, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the wiring terminal at the target position. At the same time, because the wiring terminal is always limited by the fixing component during the rotation process, the wiring terminal can remain fixed and does not rotate with the connector, so that the wiring process meets the process requirements, and the fixing of the wiring terminal at the target position is more stable and easy to operate.

[0055] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, one embodiment of the present application provides a fastening tool 100, comprising a fixing assembly 10 and a fastening assembly 20. The fixing assembly 10 has a rotation-limiting space 13. The fastening assembly 20 includes a fastening portion 21 and a rotating portion 22. The fastening portion 21 is connected to one end of the rotating portion 22. The fastening portion 21 has a first rotation axis extending through the rotation-limiting space 13. The rotating portion 22 is rotationally connected to the fixing assembly 10 about the first rotation axis.

[0056] It should be noted that the fastening tool 100 is used to secure the terminal block 200 to a target position using a connector. Specifically, the fastening tool 100 can fasten the connector to the target position of the electrical component, thereby achieving the purpose of securing the terminal block 200 connected to the connector to the target position. The terminal block 200 is used to connect to the wire 300, and then the connector is connected to the terminal block 200. The fastening tool 100 then fastens the connector to the target position of the electrical component, ultimately achieving the connection between the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 thereon and the electrical component.

[0057] The terminal block 200 may be, but is not limited to, an O-type terminal block, i.e., an O-type terminal block having an O-shaped connector, the other end of which is used to connect to the wire 300. A connector is inserted into the O-type connector to connect the connector to the O-type terminal block, and the connector is then fixed to a target position to secure the O-type terminal block and the wire in the target position.

[0058] The fixing assembly 10 is a component that secures the terminal block 200 during the wiring process. Specifically, it secures the terminal block 200 within the rotational limit space 13. Once the terminal block 200 is connected to the wire 300, the fixing assembly 10 secures both the terminal block 200 and the wire 300. Thus, when the connector is rotated to its target position, the fixing assembly 10 maintains the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 in place relative to the connector, making the wiring process more stable.

[0059] The fastening portion 21 can be fixedly connected to the terminal block 200 through a connecting piece, and the rotating portion 22 can drive the fastening portion 21 and the connecting piece to rotate relative to the fixing component 10 around the first rotating axis under the action of an external force. When the connecting piece is inserted into the O-type connector of the O-type terminal block 200, the fastening component 20 can be connected to the connecting piece, and then drive the connecting piece to rotate synchronously with it under the action of an external force. During the rotation process, the connecting piece is gradually tightened to the target position, thereby achieving the fixation of the connecting terminal and the wire 300 at the target position.

[0060] Through the above structure, the fastening portion 21 can be fixedly connected to the connecting member and, driven by the rotating portion 22, rotate about the first rotation axis relative to the fixing assembly 10. This can achieve the fixing of the connecting member in the target position, thereby fixing the terminal 200 in the target position. At the same time, the fixing assembly 10 can fix the terminal 200, making the wiring process more stable and easier to operate.

[0061] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 10 includes a first fixing member 11 and a second fixing member 12 spaced apart along a first direction a, with a rotation limiting space 13 formed between the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12. The first direction a is parallel to the rotation plane of the rotating portion 22.

[0062] Specifically, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are spaced apart along a first direction a, and a rotation-limiting space 13 is formed therebetween. When the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 connected thereto are placed in the rotation-limiting space 13, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are able to restrain the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 in the rotation-limiting space 13 along the first direction a. When the rotating portion 22 rotates relative to the fixed assembly 10 within a rotation plane parallel to the first direction a, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are able to restrain the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 along the first direction a.

[0063] Furthermore, to more stably retain the connection terminal 200 and the wire 300 connected thereto within the rotation limiting space 13, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 can be configured as strip structures. When the wire 300 is accommodated within the rotation limiting space 13, the extension direction of the wire 300 is parallel to the extension direction of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12. This allows the connection terminal 200 and the wire 300 to be better accommodated within the rotation limiting space 13.

[0064] During the wiring process, the wire 300 is first connected to the terminal 200, and then the terminal 200 and the wire 300 are placed together in the rotation-limiting space 13. A connector is inserted through the terminal 200, and then the fastening portion 21 is connected to the connector. Under the action of an external force, the rotating portion 22 drives the fastening portion 21 and the connector to rotate in a plane parallel to the first direction a. During the rotation process, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 can limit the terminal 200 and the wire 300 in the rotation-limiting space 13 along the first direction a, thereby maintaining the stability of the terminal 200 and the wire 300 and preventing them from rotating with the connector.

[0065] By providing the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12, a rotation limit space 13 can be defined, and the connecting terminal 200 can be limited in the rotation limit space 13 along the first direction a. In the process of the fastening component 20 driving the connecting member to rotate, the connecting terminal 200 can be stably limited in the rotation limit space 13 under the limiting action of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12, thereby making the connecting terminal 200 more stable during the wiring process.

[0066] In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 10 includes a limiting member 14 . The limiting member 14 has a limiting space 141 . At least a portion of the first fixing member 11 and at least a portion of the second fixing member 12 are limited within the limiting space 141 .

[0067] Specifically, the limit member 14 is assembled between the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12. When the fastening assembly 20 drives the connecting member to rotate, the limit member 14 can limit the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 within the limiting space 141, thereby limiting the relative movement between the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12, so that the connecting terminal and the wire 300 can be more stably accommodated in the rotation limiting space 13.

[0068] By setting a limit member 14, it can cooperate with the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 to limit the terminal block 200 in the rotation limit space 13 in the first direction a and the second direction b respectively, so that the terminal block 200 can be more stably accommodated in the rotation limit space 13, thereby further improving the stability of the terminal block 200 during the wiring process.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1, 3, 4 and 5. In some embodiments, the limiting member 14 includes a limiting ring having a limiting space 141. The first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are both protruded with a limiting portion 111, and the limiting portion 111 protrudes into the limiting space 141 of the limiting ring.

[0070] Specifically, the limiting portion 111 can be configured as a limiting post formed on the surfaces of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12, protruding along the second direction b. When the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are spaced apart along the first direction a, the limiting post of the first fixing member 11 and the limiting post of the second fixing member 12 can be simultaneously mounted within the limiting ring. Thus, the limiting ring restrains the terminal 200 and the wire 300 within the rotation limiting space 13 along the second direction b.

[0071] Through the above structure, the limiting ring can cooperate with the limiting portion 111 on the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12, so that the limiting portion 111 is stably limited in the limiting space 141 of the limiting ring, so that the terminal 200 can be more stably accommodated in the rotation limiting space 13.

[0072] In some embodiments, the retaining rings include two retaining rings, each of which has a retaining portion 111 protruding from opposite sides of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 along the second direction b. Each retaining ring is movably mounted on the retaining portion 111 on the same side surface of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 along the second direction b.

[0073] Specifically, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 each have protruding limiting portions 111 on opposite sides of the second fixing member 11, 12 along the second direction b. When the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are spaced apart along the first direction a, each limiting ring can be simultaneously mounted on two limiting portions 111 on the same side surface of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12. That is, the two limiting rings are respectively mounted on two pairs of sides of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 along the second direction b. Thus, the two limiting rings constrain the terminal 200 and the wire 300 in the rotation limiting space 13 along the second direction b.

[0074] Furthermore, each retaining ring is capable of moving along the second direction b on the corresponding retaining portion 111. Specifically, threads can be provided on the surface of each retaining portion 111, and a nut can be provided on the retaining portion 111. When the nut is screwed into the corresponding retaining portion 111 near the first fixing member 11 or the second fixing member 12, the two retaining rings are driven toward each other along the second direction b. At this point, the size of the rotational retaining space 13 in the second direction b gradually decreases, and the rotational retaining space 13 can be used to accommodate a wire 300 with a smaller diameter.

[0075] When the nut is rotated away from the first fixing member 11 or the second fixing member 12 and out of the corresponding limiting portion 111, the two limiting rings are driven by the nut to move away from each other in the second direction b. At this time, the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the second direction b gradually increases, and the rotation limiting space 13 can be used to accommodate a wire 300 with a larger diameter.

[0076] Therefore, by moving the two limiting rings in the second direction b, the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the second direction b can be adjusted, so that the rotation limiting space 13 can be suitable for terminal blocks 200 and wires 300 of various sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the fastening tool 100.

[0077] It can be understood that multiple slots can be set on the limiting part 111 along the second direction b, and buckles that engage with the slots can be set on the limiting ring, so that the limiting ring can be moved along the second direction b on the corresponding limiting part 111 and fixed at a certain position therein to adjust the size of the rotating limiting space 13 in the second direction b.

[0078] By providing a limiting ring and a limiting portion 111 cooperating therewith, it is possible to limit the terminal block 200 in the rotation limiting space 13 along the second direction b, and it is also possible to adjust the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the second direction b, so that the rotation limiting space 13 can be suitable for a variety of terminal blocks 200 and wires 300 of different sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the fastening tool 100.

[0079] Furthermore, in the first direction a, each limiting portion 111 located on the same side surface of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 is movably disposed in a corresponding limiting ring to adjust the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the first direction a.

[0080] Specifically, each limiting portion 111 is capable of reciprocating along a first direction a within a corresponding limiting ring. When the limiting portions 111 on the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 approach each other along the first direction a within the corresponding limiting ring, the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the first direction a gradually decreases, and the rotation limiting space 13 can be used to accommodate a wire 300 with a smaller diameter. When the limiting portions 111 on the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 move away from each other along the first direction a within the corresponding limiting ring, the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the first direction a gradually increases, and the rotation limiting space 13 can be used to accommodate a wire 300 with a larger diameter.

[0081] Through the above structure, the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the first direction a can be adjusted, so that the rotation limiting space 13 can be suitable for more terminal blocks 200 and wires 300 of different sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the fastening tool 100.

[0082] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 both include a main body portion 112 and a movable portion 113, and the main bodies 112 are spaced apart along the first direction a to form a first sub-limiting space 131, and the movable portions 113 are movably arranged on the corresponding main body portion 112, and are spaced apart along the first direction a to form a second sub-limiting space 132 with adjustable size.

[0083] Specifically, after the wire 300 is connected to the terminal block 200, the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 are placed together in the rotation limit space 13. At this time, the wire 300 is located between the main body 112 of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12, that is, the wire 300 is located in the first sub-limit space 131, and the terminal block 200 is located between the movable part 113 of the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12, that is, the terminal block 200 is located in the second sub-limit space 132.

[0084] The main bodies 112 of the first and second fixing members 11, 12 can limit the position of the wire 300 therein along the first direction a, thereby maintaining the wire 300 stable within the first sub-limiting space 131. The movable portion 113 of the first fixing member 11 can move relative to the main body 112, and the movable portion 113 of the second fixing member 12 can move relative to the main body 112. During the movement of the two movable portions 113, the size of the second sub-limiting space 132 can be adjusted along the first direction a, thereby enabling the second sub-limiting space 132 to limit the position of terminal blocks 200 of different shapes and sizes.

[0085] By setting the main body 112, the wire 300 connected to the terminal 200 can be confined in the first sub-limiting space 131. By setting the movable part 113 that is movably set relative to the main body 112, the size of the second sub-limiting space 132 can be adjusted, so that the second sub-limiting space 132 can meet the requirements of accommodating and limiting terminal blocks 200 of different shapes and sizes.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 both include a second rotating shaft 115 and a locking member 116 . The movable portion 113 is rotatably connected to the main body 112 around the second rotating shaft 115 . The locking member 116 is detachably connected between the movable portion 113 and the main body 112 .

[0087] Specifically, a connecting hole can be opened on the main body 112, and the second rotating shaft 115 is set as a boss protruding from the surface of the movable part 113. The boss is passed through the connecting hole to achieve a rotational connection between the movable part 113 and the main body 112, and the boss is formed into the second rotating shaft 115, so that the movable part 113 can rotate smoothly around the second rotating shaft 115 relative to the main body 112.

[0088] The locking member 116 is removably connected between the movable portion 113 and the main body 112 and has a locked position and an unlocked position during disassembly. When the locking member 116 is in the locked position, the movable portion 113 is fixed to the main body 112, restricting the movable portion 113 from rotating relative to the main body 112. When the locking member 116 is in the unlocked position, the movable portion 113 and the main body 112 can rotate relative to each other to adjust the size of the second sub-limiting space 132.

[0089] Furthermore, the locking member 116 can be, but is not limited to, set as a connecting bolt. By screwing in and tightening the connecting bolt, locking between the movable part 113 and the main body 112 is achieved, and by unscrewing the connecting bolt, relative rotation between the movable part 113 and the main body 112 is achieved.

[0090] Thus, the second rotation axis 115 can provide a rotational basis for the relative rotation between the movable portion 113 and the main body 112, allowing the movable portion 113 to rotate about the second rotation axis 115 relative to the main body 112, thereby adjusting the size of the second sub-confining space 132. In addition, the locking member 116 can fix the movable portion 113 at a target position. That is, after the size of the second sub-confining space 132 is adjusted, the locking member 116 can be used to fix the movable portion 113 to the main body 112, thereby ensuring that the terminal block 200 can be stably confined within the second sub-confining space 132.

[0091] Please refer to FIG. 4 , FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 . In some embodiments, an adjustment hole 1121 is defined in the main body 112 . At least a portion of the movable portion 113 is exposed in the adjustment hole 1121 . The locking member 116 is passed through the adjustment hole 1121 .

[0092] The adjustment hole 1121 may be configured as an arc-shaped hole. The locking member 116 may be inserted into the adjustment hole 1121 and move within the adjustment hole 1121 to achieve relative rotation between the movable portion 113 and the main body 112 .

[0093] When the locking member 116 is in the unlocked position, the movable portion 113 can rotate relative to the main body 112 about the second rotating shaft 115, and the locking member 116 reciprocates within the adjustment hole 1121. At this time, the size of the second sub-limit space 132 can be adjusted by the movable portion 113. After the size of the second sub-limit space 132 is adjusted, the locking member 116 is switched from the unlocked position to the locked position, so that the movable portion 113 is fixed relative to the main body 112, thereby maintaining the size of the second sub-limit space 132 unchanged. In this way, the specific size of the second sub-limit space 132 can be adjusted according to the specific shape and specific size of the terminal block 200, so that the terminal block 200 can be more stably accommodated in the second sub-limit space 132.

[0094] Through the above structure, the movable part 113 can be flexibly rotated or locked relative to the main body 112, so that the size of the second sub-limit space 132 can be adjusted through the movable part 113, so that the size of the second sub-limit space 132 can meet the needs of terminal blocks 200 of different shapes and sizes, so that the terminal blocks 200 can be more stably accommodated in the second sub-limit space 132.

[0095] In some embodiments, a connecting hole exposed in the adjustment hole 1121 is opened on the movable portion 113 , and the locking member 116 passes through the adjustment hole 1121 and the connecting hole and is fixedly connected to the main body 112 .

[0096] Specifically, when the movable portion 113 rotates around the second rotation axis 115 relative to the main body 112 , the connecting hole is located in the adjusting hole 1121 and moves in the adjusting hole 1121 along with the movable portion 113 .

[0097] After the size of the second sub-limiting space 132 is adjusted, the locking member 116 is inserted into the adjustment hole 1121 and the connecting hole, and the locking member 116 is adjusted to the locking position, that is, the connecting bolt is tightened. At this time, under the locking action of the locking member 116, the movable portion 113 and the main body 112 are relatively fixed, achieving a fixed connection between the two.

[0098] The connecting hole can cooperate with the adjusting hole 1121 , so that the locking member 116 can be sequentially passed through the adjusting hole 1121 and the connecting hole, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the movable portion 113 and the main body 112 through the locking member 116 .

[0099] As shown in Figures 1, 4, and 5, in some embodiments, the first fixing member 11 is provided with a first extension 114, and the second fixing member 12 is provided with a second extension 121. The first extension 114 and the second extension 121 are spaced apart along a second direction b, and the rotating portion 22 is confined between the first extension 114 and the second extension 121 along the second direction b. The second direction b intersects with the rotation plane of the fastening assembly 20 relative to the fixing assembly 10.

[0100] Specifically, the first extension 114 and the second extension 121 are spaced apart along the second direction b to form a restrained space 122 therebetween. The connector is connected to the terminal block 200, connecting the fastening assembly 20 to the connector. When the fastening assembly 20 is controlled to rotate the connector, the fastening assembly 20 can rotate within the restrained space 122 between the first extension 114 and the second extension 121.

[0101] Thus, the first protruding member 114 and the second protruding member 121 can limit the rotation process of the fastening assembly 20 along the second direction b, so that the fastening assembly 20 can rotate more stably along a fixed path, thereby improving the stability of the wiring process.

[0102] Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 7 . In some embodiments, the fastening tool 100 further includes an elastic member 40 . The elastic member 40 is elastically connected between the fixing assembly 10 and the rotating portion 22 along the rotation direction of the rotating portion 22 .

[0103] Specifically, the elastic member 40 may be, but is not limited to, a spring, and the spring is connected between the first fixing member 11 and the rotating portion 22 along the first direction a.

[0104] During its rotation relative to the fixed assembly 10, the rotating portion 22 has an initial position and an end position. When the rotating portion 22 is in the initial position, the spring is in a neutral state. Applying an external force to the rotating portion 22 causes it to rotate from the initial position to the end position. During this process, the rotating portion 22 drives the fastening portion 21 and the connecting member to rotate synchronously. Furthermore, as the rotating portion 22 rotates toward the first fixed member 11, the spring between them gradually compresses.

[0105] When the rotating portion 22 rotates to the end position, the external force applied to the rotating portion 22 is released. At this time, the rotating portion 22 can rotate in a direction away from the first fixing member 11 driven by the elastic restoring force of the spring until it returns to the initial position.

[0106] By providing the elastic member 40, the rotating portion 22 can be automatically reset during the rotation process, that is, the elastic restoring force of the elastic member 40 can automatically restore the rotating portion 22 from the end position to the initial position, which can improve the operating efficiency during the wiring process.

[0107] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 8 , in some embodiments, the connecting member includes a connecting bolt, and the fastening assembly 20 includes a torque wrench, wherein the fastening portion 21 is a socket head of the torque wrench, and the rotating portion is a handle of the torque wrench.

[0108] Specifically, when the connecting member is configured as a connecting bolt, the fastening assembly 20 is configured as a torque wrench. It should be noted that the torque wrench can be set to a torque value according to actual needs, thereby more accurately tightening the connecting bolt to achieve the fixation of the terminal 200 in the target position.

[0109] Furthermore, the socket head is detachably arranged on the handle, and the torque wrench can be snap-fitted with connecting bolts of different sizes by replacing the socket heads of different sizes.

[0110] With the above structure, the wiring process can be performed more accurately and the wiring terminal 200 can be fixed more stably at the target position.

[0111] Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned fastening tool 100, the present application also provides a processing device, including the above-mentioned fastening tool 100, and the processing device is used to connect the terminal block 200 and the electrical component.

[0112] According to one or more embodiments, when wiring an electrical component, the wire 300 is first connected to the terminal 200, and the wire 300 and the terminal 200 are both accommodated in the rotation limiting space 13. Specifically, the wire 300 is accommodated in the first sub-limiting space 131, and the terminal 200 is accommodated in the second sub-limiting space 132.

[0113] Two limiting rings are respectively placed on corresponding limiting portions 111. By adjusting the distance between the two limiting rings in the second direction b, the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the second direction b is adjusted. By adjusting the distance between each limiting portion 111 in the limiting ring along the first direction a, the size of the rotation limiting space 13 in the first direction a is adjusted. This ensures that the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 can be more stably accommodated in the rotation limiting space 13.

[0114] Furthermore, the movable portion 113 is controlled to rotate relative to the corresponding main portion 112 around the second rotation axis 115, thereby adjusting the size of the second sub-limiting space 132 defined between the two movable portions 113, so that the terminal block 200 can be more stably accommodated in the second sub-limiting space 132.

[0115] Insert the connecting bolt into the O-ring connector of the terminal block 200, then engage the torque wrench with the connecting bolt through the socket head. Apply external force to the torque wrench handle to rotate it toward the first fixing member 11, which drives the connecting bolt to rotate synchronously, tightening the connecting bolt to the target position of the electrical component, thereby fixing the terminal block 200 and the wire 300 thereon in the target position.

[0116] After tightening, release the torque wrench. At this time, the torque wrench automatically returns to the initial position from the end position under the action of the elastic restoring force of the spring, so as to facilitate the next tightening operation.

[0117] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
