As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the terminal 100 of the present invention is used to connect to a conducting wire, the terminal 100 includes a base body 110, a movable part 120 and a metal elastic part 130. The metal elastic part 130 is disposed in the base body 110, the movable part 120 is movably displaced reciprocally relative to the base body 110.


Continuing, the base body 110 described above includes a casing 111 and a side cover 112. The casing 111 has an accommodating space 101, the accommodating space 101 forms an opening 102 on one side of the casing on one side of the casing 111. The other side of the casing 111 has a first through hole 103.


Additionally, the bottom of the casing 111 has at least one pin hole 104, one end of the casing 111 has a passage bore 105 used for being passed through by the conducting wire, the passage bore 105 in in communicated with the accommodating space 101.


Therefore, the side cover 112 is connected to the side of the casing 111 forming the opening 102 and covers the opening 102, the side cover 112 has a second through hole 106 corresponds to the first through hole 103.


One end of the movable part 120 is a pressing end 121, the other end extends to form two arms 122, one of the arms 122 is coupled to the side of the casing 111 having the first through hole 103, the other arm 122 is coupled to the side cover 112, and the inner side of two arms 122 respectively corresponds to the first through hole 103 and the second through hole 106 to form an abutment hole 123.


The metal elastic part 130 is disposed in the accommodating space 101, one end of the metal elastic part 130 has two abutments 131, one of the abutments 131 passes through the first through hole 103 and abuts against one of the abutment holes 123, the other abutment 131 passes through the second through hole 106 and abuts against the other abutment hole 123; the other end of the metal elastic part 130 has at least one pin 132, and at least one pin 132 respectively passes through the corresponding pin hole 104. The metal elastic part 130 may have a bent portion 133, and two ends of the bent portion 133 each respectively extend to the end of the metal elastic part 130 having the abutment 131 and the other end having at least one pin 132; additionally, the casing 111 has a limiting convex portion 114, and the metal elastic part 130 is set up around the limiting convex portion 114.


In practical application of the terminal 100 of the present invention, when the conducting wire is to be inserted into the passage bore 105, the pressing end 121 of the movable part 120 is pressed first, such that the movable part 120 is rotationally displaced downward relative to the base body 110. During the rotation, due to abutment hole 123 of the inner side of two arms 122 in the movable part 120 abut against the abutment 131 of the metal elastic part 130. Therefore, when the movable part 120 is rotationally displaced downward, the abutment hole 123 presses down on the abutment 131, which allows one end of the metal elastic part 130 to approach the other end and to free up a space above, and then, when the conducting wire passes through the passage bore 105, it can continue to penetrate into the upper space.


Next, the pressing end 121 can be loosened, and one end of the metal elastic part 130 which is originally pressed down, will be displaced upward due to not being pressed, and further abut against the conducting wire.


As shown in FIG. 4, the side of the casing 111 forming the opening 102 may have a plurality of engagement parts 107, and the side cover 112 may have a plurality of engagement holes 108 corresponding to the plurality of engagement parts 107. When the side cover 112 is connected to the casing 111, each of the engagement holes 108 is engaged with the corresponding engagement part 107.


Continuing to refer to FIG. 4, the other side of the casing 111 may have a shaft hole 109, and the side cover 112 has the other shaft hole 109 corresponding to the shaft hole 109 of the casing 111 (As shown in FIG. 5), the two arms 122 have axis parts 124 respectively corresponding to the shaft hole 109 of the casing 111 and the shaft hole 109 of the side cover 112 (as shown in FIG. 6). When the movable part 120 is coupled to the base body 110, the axis part 124 of one of the arms 122 is coupled to the shaft hole 109 of the casing 111, and the axis part 124 of the other arm 122 is coupled to the shaft hole 109 of the side cover 112. Wherein, the shaft hole 109, 109′ is disposed adjacent to one end of the passage bore 105.


Referring to FIG. 4 again, two sides of the casing 111 extend toward the top end to form an extension part 113. When the pressing end 121 of the movable part 120 is not pressed, the movable part 120 will be rotationally displaced upward relative to the base body 110, and two arms 122 will respectively abut against the corresponding extension parts 113, and the movable part 120 stops the rotational displacement. However, the above are only illustrative examples and are not limiting.


According to the above description, terminal of the present invention works by pressing the movable part to press the metal elastic part downwards, resulting in the conducting wire being able, after entering the accommodating space through the passage bore, to penetrate more deeply in the space created by pressing the metal elastic part downwards; after releasing the movable part, the metal elastic part lifts up and clasps the conducting wire, thus achieving a more efficient method of connecting the conducting wire.


The above-mentioned embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical ideas and features of the present invention, and the purpose thereof is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them according to the scope of the patent. That is, the equal changes or modifications made by the general in accordance with the spirit revealed by this creation should still be covered by the legal claims of this creation.
