In the related art, the connecting strip and the wiring terminal are manufactured separately, and finally the connecting strip and the wiring terminal are assembled when the row is assembled, and when the row is assembled, the connecting strip is required to be bent into different shapes due to the fact that the structures of the wiring terminals corresponding to the row of different specifications are different, so that the connecting strip is assembled with the wiring terminal, the connecting strip cannot be universal, and automatic production cannot be achieved.

In view of this, the present application provides a connection terminal 100, and the connection terminal 100 is used for a power strip. Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a connection terminal according to an embodiment of the application at a first view angle. Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the sectional structure of fig. 1 taken along the section A-A.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the connection terminal 100 provided by the present application includes a terminal box 110, a terminal cover 120, a terminal 130, and a connection member 140. The terminal box 110 comprises a containing cavity 111, a terminal cover 120 is arranged at an opening at one end of the containing cavity 111, a terminal 130 is arranged in the containing cavity 111, one end of a connecting piece 140 is arranged in the terminal 130, and the other end of the connecting piece is arranged outside the terminal box 110 and used for being connected with a connecting strip in a row of plugs.

The terminal box 110 and the terminal cover 120 are made of insulating materials, and a person can insert the terminal 130, the connecting member 140, and the like into the terminal box 110 from the opening of the terminal box 110 and then cover the terminal cover 120 at the opening of the terminal box 110, thereby completing the assembly of the terminal 100.

Alternatively, the terminal box 110 and the terminal cover 120 may be simply fixed, for example, as shown in fig. 2, one of the terminal box 110 and the terminal cover 120 is provided with a fastening hole 150, and the other is provided with a fastening table 160, where the fastening table 160 is disposed in the fastening hole 150, so as to limit the separation of the terminal box 110 and the terminal cover 120.

The terminals 130 are metal members, and only one wire mounting position can be provided on one terminal 130, and a plurality of wire mounting positions can be provided on the other terminal 130, and accordingly, the number of the connecting members 140 can be set according to the number of the wire mounting positions and the specific positions on the terminal 130. For example, three wire mounting grooves are provided in a row on the terminal 130 for mounting a neutral wire, a live wire and a ground wire, respectively, and one connection member 140 is provided corresponding to each of the three wire mounting grooves, which can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual circumstances.

Compared with the related art terminal, the terminal 100 of the embodiment of the present application is provided with the connecting member 140, so that when the terminal 100 is installed in the socket, the connecting strip 400 in the socket is not required to be bent into a shape adapted to the internal structure of the terminal 100 to connect with the terminal 100, but the connecting strip 400 is connected with the end of the connecting member 140 extending out of the terminal box 110, so that the electrical connection between the connecting strip and the terminal 100 can be achieved.

When producing the socket of different specifications, only the shape and position of the connecting piece 140 need to be changed, so that the connecting piece 140 can adapt to the socket of corresponding specification, and the connecting strip 400 does not need to be replaced, thus realizing the universality in the socket of various specifications.

In addition, after the arrangement, the wiring terminal 100 can be preassembled, and then the whole wiring terminal 100 and the connecting strip are assembled, so that even in the row inserts with different specifications, the connecting strip and the wiring terminal 100 are connected in a uniform manner, the automatic production of the row inserts is facilitated, and the production efficiency of the row inserts can be improved.

The connection member 140 needs to be fixed to other parts of the terminal 100.

With continued reference to fig. 1, optionally, in some embodiments, a positioning groove 170 is provided on an outer wall of the terminal box 110, and the connecting member 140 is partially located in the positioning groove 170.

The positioning groove 170 may be a groove-like structure formed by directly grooving the outer wall of the terminal box 110, may be a groove-like channel formed by providing a plurality of protrusions on the outer wall of the terminal box 110 and between adjacent protrusions, or may be a groove-like structure on a component provided on the outer wall of the terminal box 110.

In addition, the number of the positioning slots 170 may be one or more, and the plurality of positioning slots 170 may position the connecting member 140 from different curved sections of the connecting member 140, or may position the connecting member 140 at different positions on the same curved section of the connecting member 140. The embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

The positioning groove 170 can position the connection member 140 so that the portion of the connection member 140 located outside the terminal box 110 does not swing at will, thereby well aligning the connection member 140 with the connection bar during the assembly of the connection terminal 100 with the connection bar and facilitating the reliable connection of the two.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a connection terminal at a second view angle according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, a first outer wall 190 of the terminal box 110 is provided with a limiting rib 180, a part of the connecting piece 140 protrudes from the first outer wall 190, a receiving groove 181 is formed between the limiting rib 180 and the part of the connecting piece 140 protruding from the first outer wall 190, the receiving groove 181 is used for receiving a connecting strip, and the first outer wall 190 is any outer wall of the terminal box 110.

The first outer wall 190 is any one of the outer walls of the terminal box 110, and the first outer wall 190 is a surface through which the connection bar is to pass or extend after being connected to the connection member 140.

The limiting ribs 180 may be opposite to the connecting member 140 on the first outer wall 190, or may be disposed on two sides of the receiving groove 181. When the connecting terminal 100 and the connecting strip are assembled, the connecting strip is partially placed into the accommodating groove 181, and the connecting strip is closely spaced from or contacted with the connecting piece 140, so that people can conveniently connect the connecting strip with the connecting piece 140, and in the connecting process, the connecting strip is not easy to move, the structure of the connecting strip connected with the connecting piece 140 is firm, and the connecting strip is not easy to loosen or separate.

Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the terminal cover 120 is provided with a supporting rib 200, the supporting rib 200 is disposed on one side of the connecting member 140, and a distance between the supporting rib 200 and the connecting member 140 is smaller than a first predetermined distance to support the connecting member 140.

The first preset distance is a distance that enables the brace bar 200 to support the connection member 140, and is smaller than a maximum distance that the connection member 140 allows to act in a direction approaching the brace bar 200, for example, allows the connection member 140 to generate a displacement (movement or deformation of the connection member 140) of 2mm (millimeters) at maximum in a direction approaching the brace bar 200, and if the displacement exceeds 2mm, assembly of the connection member 140 and the connection bar is affected, and at this time, the first preset distance is any distance that is less than or equal to 2mm, so that the connection member 140 can be stably in a proper position under the supporting action of the brace bar 200.

It can be seen that the support ribs 200 support the connection members 140, so that the connection members 140 are more stable in structure, more firm in position, and less prone to deformation and shaking.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view of the sectional structure of fig. 3 taken along the section B-B. Referring to fig. 1 and 4, in some embodiments, a first socket 210 is provided on the terminal box 110, the connection member 140 penetrates out of the terminal box 110 from the first socket 210, a supporting rib 220 is provided on the terminal cover 120, the supporting rib 220 is at least partially located in the first socket 210, and a distance between the supporting rib 220 and the connection member 140 is smaller than a second preset distance to support the connection member 140.

The second preset distance is a distance that enables the support rib 220 to support the connection member 140, and is smaller than a maximum distance that the connection member 140 is allowed to act in a direction approaching the support rib 220, for example, a displacement (movement or deformation of the connection member 140) of 3mm is allowed to occur at maximum in a direction approaching the support rib 220, and if the displacement exceeds 3mm, electrical connection of the connection member 140 and the terminal 130 is affected, and at this time, the second preset distance is any distance that is less than or equal to 3mm, so that the connection member 140 can pass through a fixed position at the first socket 210 under the support of the support rib 220.

The first socket 210 is generally provided to be large in order to facilitate the installation of the connection member 140, which makes it difficult for the side wall of the first socket 210 to well limit the connection member 140 after the connection member 140 is installed in the terminal box 110, and the connection member 140 is easy to shake.

In the present application, after the connecting member 140 is installed in the terminal box 110, the terminal cover 120 is covered at the opening of the terminal box 110, and the supporting rib 220 on the terminal cover 120 is located at one side of the connecting member 140, and because the distance between the supporting rib 220 and the connecting member 140 is smaller than the second preset distance, when the connecting member 140 is deformed in the direction of the supporting rib 220 after being stressed, the supporting rib 220 can prevent the connecting member 140 from further deformation, and prevent the connecting member 140 from generating excessive deformation or even breaking.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, the terminal box 110 is further provided with a second socket 230, where the second socket 230 is used for inserting a wire, and the second socket 230 at least partially faces the supporting rib 220 to prevent the wire from passing out of the first socket 210.

When connecting a wire to the terminal 100, the user needs to insert the wire from the second socket 230 into the terminal box 110, and further into the terminal 130, so that the wire is connected to the connection member 140. In the process of inserting the wire by the user, it is often difficult to determine whether the wire is inserted in place, and the wire may be inserted too deeply, penetrated out of the first socket 210, or inserted too shallowly, so that the connection between the wire and the connector 140 is not firm.

When the second jack 230 is at least partially opposite to the supporting rib 220, a user can determine whether the wire is inserted in place according to whether the wire is blocked by the supporting rib 220, and the problem that the wire passes out of the first jack 210 does not occur, which is beneficial to ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical connection when the extension socket is used.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, a first limiting protrusion 240 is disposed on an inner wall of the terminal box 110, a second limiting protrusion 250 is disposed on an outer wall of the terminal 130, and the first limiting protrusion 240 is located on a side of the second limiting protrusion 250 close to the opening of the terminal box 110.

When the terminal is assembled, after the terminal 130 is mounted in the receiving cavity 111 from the opening side of the terminal box 110, the second limiting protrusion 250 is blocked by the first limiting protrusion 240, so that the terminal 130 is not easily separated from the opening of the terminal box 110, which is advantageous for further assembling the terminal box 110 and the terminal 130 with other parts.

After the terminal is assembled, since the opening of the terminal block 110 is closed by the terminal cover 120, the terminal cover 120 functions to mainly limit the position of the terminal 130 in the receiving cavity 111, and the first and second limit protrusions 240 and 250 can prevent the terminal 130 from coming out of the opening of the terminal block 110 in case the terminal cover 120 is loose or damaged.

It can be appreciated that in the case where the first and second stopper protrusions 240 and 250 are provided, since the first and second stopper protrusions 240 and 250 partially replace the terminal cover 120, the terminal may not include the terminal cover 120, thereby simplifying the structure of the terminal and reducing the volume and weight of the terminal.

In other words, when the terminal includes the terminal cover 120, the first and second limiting projections 240 and 250 may or may not be provided, and when the terminal does not include the terminal cover 120, the terminal must include the above-described structures of the first and second limiting projections 240 and 250.

Optionally, a side of the first limiting protrusion 240 near the opening of the terminal box 110 is provided with a slope, and/or a side of the second limiting protrusion 250 far from the opening of the terminal box 110 is provided with a slope.

During the process of loading the terminal 130 from the opening of the terminal box 110, the first limiting protrusion 240 and the second limiting protrusion 250 may contact through at least one inclined surface, the inclined surface may be located on the first limiting protrusion 240, may be located on the second limiting protrusion 250, or may be the inclined surface on the first limiting protrusion 240 where the second limiting protrusion 250 contacts. After the contact, the first limiting protrusion 240 and the second limiting protrusion 250 are mutually pressed, so that the side wall of the terminal box 110 and/or the side wall of the terminal 130 are elastically deformed gradually, the terminal 130 is conveniently installed into the terminal box 110, after the first limiting protrusion 240 and the second limiting protrusion 250 are separated from the contact, the side wall of the terminal box 110 and/or the side wall of the terminal 130 are restored to the original shape, the terminal 130 is installed in place, the first limiting protrusion 240 and the second limiting protrusion 250 are mutually limited, and the terminal 130 is not easy to separate from the opening of the terminal box 110.
