The present disclosure relates to a technology of a terminal block structure, particularly to a terminal block structure and an unbuckling unit thereof.
A terminal block is commonly used as a connecting component, and has been widely applied in various fields requiring a massive amount of data, for example an industrial communication, an industrial equipment, an electric power industry and an industrial control. The terminal block is used for connecting two or more sets of power wires, control wires and/or data transmitting wires. For example, in an industrial controlling system, such as a power supplier, an automatic power breaking devise or a server motor driver, several or even hundreds of terminal blocks are used to achieve frequently replacing the products of different specifications with a freedom degree to coordinate the automated production and the manual production, and to achieve a proper way for producing small-scale and multiple-specifications products with high-efficiency.
A related-art terminal block has one side thereof coupled with two or more sets of power wires, control wires or data transmitting wires, another side thereof coupled with an engaging connector, and is used for transmitting signals or transferring power. However, the coupling between the terminal block and the engaging connector may be easily affected by vibrations or other reasons, thus situations of the engaging connector and the terminal block being in poor contact, loosened from each other or even released which causes circuit breaking may happen, and each node point may not normally operate.
Accordingly, the applicant of the present disclosure has devoted himself for improving the mentioned disadvantages.
The present disclosure is to provide a terminal block structure and an unbuckling unit thereof, which has advantages of easily to be pressed and operated, simple in structure and convenient to be assembled.
Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a terminal block structure used to be connected to an engaging connector, the engaging connector has a buckled unit, the terminal block structure includes an insulating housing and at least one unbuckling unit, the unbuckling unit is fastened on the insulating housing, the unbuckling unit has a base member and a rotary member, the rotary member is operably connected to the base member, the rotary member includes a first arm part, a second arm part extended from the first arm part and a rotary part disposed between the first arm part and the second arm part, the second arm part has a buckling unit, and the rotary part is connected to the base member; wherein, when the first arm part is applied with an external force, the rotary member rotates about the rotary part as a rotation center to drive the second arm part to ascend to make the buckling unit and the buckled unit be unbuckled.
Accordingly, the present disclosure provides an unbuckling unit including a base member and a rotary member, the rotary member is operably connected to the base member, the rotary member includes a first arm part, a second arm part extended from the first arm part and a rotary part disposed between the first arm part and the second arm part, the second arm part has a buckling unit, and the rotary part is connected to the base member; wherein, when the first arm part is applied with an external force, the rotary member rotates about the rotary part as a rotation center to drive the second arm part to ascend.
Advantages achieved by the present disclosure are as follows. The structure is compact, the volume is small and easily to be unbuckled.
The features of the disclosure believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The disclosure itself, however, may be best understood by reference to the following detailed description of the disclosure, which describes a number of exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
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.

In some embodiments, the terminal block structure 1 mainly includes an insulating housing 10, a pair of unbuckling units 20 and a plurality of conductive wire and terminal clipping units 13.
The insulating housing 10 mainly has a seat member 11 and a plurality of insertion blocks 12 extended from the seat member 11. The plurality of conductive wire and terminal clipping units 13 are respectively disposed in each of the insertion blocks 12. Each of the conductive wire and terminal clipping units 13 extends into the seat member 11. Each of the insertion blocks 12 is correspondingly inserted in each of the insertion slots 83. One end of each of the electric conductive terminals 84 is clipped by one end of the conductive wire and terminal clipping unit 13 to establish an electric connection. Another end of the conductive wire and terminal clipping unit 13 allows a conductive wire (not shown in figures) to be inserted and locked.
In some embodiments, a left side and a right side of the seat member 11 are extended with two buckle hooks 111 which are spaced with an interval. The seat member 11 is extended with two hook arms 112 located at one side close to the insertion block 12. The two hook arms 112 are spaced with an interval and arranged between every two of the adjacent insertion blocks 12. Each of the hook arms 112 is used for latching and positioning each of the another buckled units 82 to increase the combining stability.
Each of the unbuckling units 20 is disposed at two lateral sides of the insulating housing 10. Each of the unbuckling units 20 has a base member 21 and a rotary member 22. The rotary member 22 is operably connected to the base member 21, and the rotary member 22 and the base member 21 are integrally formed (or formed in one piece). The rotary member 22 mainly has a first arm part 221, a second arm part 222 extended from the first arm part 221 and a rotary part 223 disposed between the first arm part 221 and the second arm part 222. The first arm part 221 and the second arm part 222 are a rigid component respectively, in other words, they do not generate an elastic deformation. The second arm part 222 has a buckling unit 2221. In some embodiments, the buckling unit 2221 is a buckle slot used for allowing the buckled unit 81 to be buckled and positioned.
In some embodiments, the base member 21 has a U-shaped rack 211. Inner portions at two opposite sides of the U-shaped rack 221 are disposed with a latching strip 212. Each of the latching strips 212 is used for buckling and fastening the buckle hook 111. The first arm part 221 is an arc-shaped plate. In some embodiments, the rotary part 223 has two deformable segments 2231 formed at two lateral sides, where the first arm part 221 and the second arm part 222 are connected, and mutually connected to the U-shaped rack 211.
When the first arm part 221 is applied with an external force, the rotary member 22 rotates about each of the deformable segments 2231 of the rotary part 223 as a rotation center to drive the second arm part 222 to ascend to make the buckling unit 2221 and the buckled unit 81 be unbuckled.

In some embodiments, a rotary part 223A has a deformable segment 2231 and a fixed segment 2232. The deformable segment 2231 is protruded from a junction location of the first arm part 221 and the second arm part 222. The fixed segment 2232 is connected between the deformable segment 2231 and each of the lateral plates 24, thus the rotary member 22 rotates about the rotary part 223A as a rotation center. In some embodiments, a buckling unit 2221A is a buckle block used for buckling and fastening the another buckled unit 82.
It is to be noted that the buckled unit 81 and the another buckled unit 82 may be replaced with each other, in other words, the buckling unit 2221 is buckled and fastened with the buckled unit 81, and the buckling unit 2221A is buckled and fastened with the another buckled unit 82 according to some embodiments.
