The disclosure relates to an electric connector, particularly to a composite elastic wiring device.
In a related-art wiring device such as a terminal block, when the wire is inserted, an elastic sheet is used to abut against the wire to serve as a clamping point of the wire in a connective status, so as to maintain a conductive status with the wire.
However, because such a wiring device only uses the single elastic sheet to serve as a clamping point of the wire, the contact status therebetween is unstable. Particularly, when an outer section of the wire sways, shakes of the wire easily occur because of the single clamping point. There may be risk of loosening.
In view of this, the inventors have devoted themselves to the above-mentioned related art, researched intensively and cooperated with the application of science to try to solve the above-mentioned problems. Finally, the invention which is reasonable and effective to overcome the above drawbacks is provided.
An object of the disclosure is to provide a composite elastic wiring device, which uses multiple elastic sheets to press a wire to increase clamping points to the wire, so as to improve stability of inserting connection and prevent the wire from shaking or loosening.
To accomplish the above object, the disclosure provides a composite elastic wiring device, which includes a shell, an operating assembly, and a connecting terminal. The shell is formed with a hollow portion inside and a wire hole communicating outside from the hollow portion. The operating assembly is disposed in the hollow portion and includes an operating member, a first elastic sheet and at least one second elastic sheet. One end of the operating member has a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion, another end of the operating member is disposed with a triggering portion outside the shell. The first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet are stacked with each other. The first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet have a first pressing end and a second pressing end, respectively. The first and second pressing ends block the wire hole in order. The connecting terminal is disposed in the hollow portion and is adjacent to the wire hole. The connecting terminal has multiple pins projecting from the shell. The first abutting portion is disposed pivotally in the hollow portion. The first abutting portion has a first abutting face. The second abutting portion is disposed on the first abutting portion and has at least one second abutting face projecting from the first abutting face. The first abutting face is adjacent to the first pressing end corresponding to the first elastic sheet. The second abutting face is adjacent to the second pressing end corresponding to the second elastic sheet.
Furthermore, the first abutting portion has a pivoting portion disposed pivotally on an inner wall of the hollow portion of the shell.
Furthermore, each of the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion is a cam structure.
Furthermore, the first abutting portion is indented with an engaging trough, and an engaging block is disposed in the shell corresponding to the engaging trough.
Furthermore, the first elastic sheet includes a first elastic section, a first fixed end formed on one end of the first elastic section, the first pressing end is formed on another end of the first elastic section, the second elastic sheet includes a second elastic section, a second fixed end formed on one end of the second elastic section, and the second pressing end is formed on another end of the second elastic section.
Furthermore, the connecting terminal is provided with a positioning portion for positioning the first fixed end and the second fixed end.
Furthermore, the first elastic section and the second elastic section have an arcuate portion respectively, an inner wall of the hollow portion of the shell is disposed with a protruding bar correspondingly, and the first elastic section and the second elastic section surrounds the protruding bar through the arcuate portions.
Furthermore, each of the second elastic sheet and the second abutting face is multiple in number.
Furthermore, the connecting terminal includes a terminal body disposed vertically and a wire carrying portion bent from the terminal body, the terminal body abuts against a side of the hollow portion of the shell, and the wire carrying portion is corresponding to a side in the wire hole of the shell.
Furthermore, the wire carrying portion is disposed with a bump structures.
The technical contents of this disclosure will become apparent with the detailed description of embodiments accompanied with the illustration of related drawings as follows. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.
Please refer to
The shell 1 may be assembled by two half portions 10, 11, and formed with a hollow portion 100, 110 inside and a wire hole 101, 111 communicating outside of the shell 1 from the hollow portion 100, 110. The hollow portion 100, 110 may allow the operating assembly 2 and the connecting terminal 3 to be arranged as shown in
Please refer to
The first elastic sheet 21 and the second elastic sheet 22 are stacked with each other. The first elastic sheet 21 has a first elastic section 210, a first fixed end 211 formed on one end of the first elastic section 210, and a first pressing end 212 formed on the other end of the first elastic section 210. The second elastic sheet 22 also has a second elastic section 220, a second fixed end 221 formed on one end of the second elastic section 220, and a second pressing end 222 formed on the other end of the second elastic section 220. After the first and second elastic sheets 21, 22 are stacked with each other, a side of the first elastic section 210 of the first elastic sheet 21, which is adjacent to the first pressing end 212, is corresponding to the first abutting face 201b, and a side of the second elastic section 220 of the second elastic sheet 22, which is adjacent to the second pressing end 222, is corresponding to the second abutting face 202a. In the shown embodiment, in order to facilitate the integration of the operating member 20 and the first and second elastic sheets 21, 22, the first elastic section 210 may be formed with a first slot 210a, and the second elastic section 220 is formed with a second slot 220a. The width of the first slot 210a and the second slot 220a may be adapted to accommodate part of the lever 200 respectively, so as to prevent the components from interfering or conflicting under the condition of limited space.
In addition, as shown in
Please refer to
As a result, by the above structure, the composite elastic wiring device of the disclosure may be obtained.
Accordingly, as shown in
Next, as shown in
Furthermore, for facilitating triggering the triggering portion 203 of the operating member 20 by hand, it is also available to form a first triggering face 203a on the triggering portion 203 and a second triggering portion 203b opposite to the first triggering face 203a. When inserting the wire 4 as shown in
It is noted that the second elastic sheet 22 of the disclosure may be further configured to be multiple and they are stacked with the first elastic sheet 21 and the second elastic sheet 22 together. Also, the second abutting face 202a may be increased corresponding to the amount of the second elastic sheets 22 to further increase the clamping points to the wire 4.
As a result, the composite elastic wiring device of the disclosure utilizes multiple elastic sheets (such as the first elastic sheet 21 and the second elastic sheet 22) to press the wire 4 to increase the clamping points to the wire 4 to further enhance the stability of insertion and further prevent the wire 4 from loosening or escaping. In addition, the operating assembly 2 may use the first abutting portion 201 and the second abutting portion 202 to serve as a cam structure to make the operating member 20 implement the operation by means of the principle of leverage. This makes the wire 4 convenient and rapid in wiring and removing wire to accomplish the object of toolless operation to improve the working efficiency of workers to be helpful in reducing the labor cost.
While this disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure set forth in the claims.
