    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • To further disclose the features and technical contents of the invention, please refer to the following description and the drawings. However, the drawings are used for reference and description only, not for limitation to the invention.
  • Please refer to FIGS. 1-3. The invention provides a terminal block structure 1 that may save operating space. The terminal block structure 1 includes an insulative base 10, a conductive terminal 20, a pressing element 30 and a clamping elastic piece 40.
  • The insulative base 10 has a first side 11, a second side 12 and a third side 13. The second side 12 and the third side 13 are connected to two ends of the first side 11 and are parallel to each other. The second side 12 and the third side 13 are perpendicular to the first side 11. The insulative base 1 has a chamber 14, a wire insertion hole 15 and an open trough 16. The wire insertion hole 15 is located at the left of the first side 11 and communicates with the chamber 14. The open trough 16 is disposed on the right of the first side 11. Partial area of the open trough 16 is disposed to an upper portion of the third side 13.
  • Furthermore, the chamber 14 of the insulative base 10 is provided with a pillar 17 and a pivot 18. An edge surface of the insulative base 10 is protruded with multiple fixing bars 19.
  • The conductive terminal 20 is made of a material with relatively good conductivity, such as copper or an alloy thereof. The conductive terminal 20 is fixed in the chamber 14 and arranged correspondingly to the lower position of the wire insertion hole 15. The conductive terminal 20 includes a first conductive sheet 21, a second conductive sheet 22 arranged spacedly with the first conductive sheet 21 and a connecting sheet 23 connected with the first conductive sheet 21 and the second conductive sheet 22. A slot 24 is disposed on the top of the second conductive sheet 22.
  • The pressing element (such as a lever, a trigger) 30 includes a pivoting portion 31, an arm 32 extending from the pivoting portion 31 and a handle 33 extending from the arm 32. In this embodiment, the pivoting portion 31 is a shaft sleeve inserted by the pivot 18 (or the pivot 18 is socketed by the pivoting portion 31) so as to make the pressing element 30 rotatable against the insulative base 10. The arm 32 protrudes from the insulative base 10 through the open trough 16. The handle 33 is formed on outside of the insulated base 10. With the pivotal connection of the pivoting portion 31 and the pivot 18 and the pressing to the handle 33, the handle 33 may be movable beside the wire insertion hole 15.
  • Furthermore, the pressing element 30 includes a pressing portion 34. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 34 extends from the pivoting portion 31 toward a direction away from the arm 32. The pressing portion 34 is substantially a triangular prism in shape.
  • The clamping elastic piece 40 is made of a material with relatively good conductivity, such as copper or an alloy thereof. The clamping elastic piece 40 is disposed in the chamber 14 at a position corresponding to the pillar 17. The clamping elastic piece 40 includes a fixed section 41 and a moving section 42 extending from the fixed section 41. A clipping piece 43 is extended from a front end of the fixed section 41. The clipping piece 43 is used to insert into and connect fixedly with the slot 24. The fixed portion 41 is fixed between the pillar 17 and a wall of the insulative base 10. The moving section 42 extends from the pillar 17 to abut against a periphery of the pressing portion 34. The moving section 42 reaches a position under the wire insertion hole 15 to abut against the first conductive sheet 21.
  • Please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5. A wire 8 may be inserted to the terminal block structure 1 of the invention for connection. The wire 8 has a core line 81. When the handle 33 is pressed toward the wire insertion hole 15 during usage, the pressing portion 34 presses the moving section 42 of the clamping elastic piece 40 to move away from the wire insertion hole 15. At this time, the wire 8 may be inserted into the wire insertion hole 15, and the handle 33 is pressed in a direction away from the wire insertion hole 15. The pressing portion 34 releases the moving section 42 of the clamping elastic piece 40. The moving section 42 and the first conductive sheet 21 jointly clamp the core line 81 through the elastic restoring force of the moving section 42. Because the action range of the handle 33 is between the third side 13 and the wire 8, the operating space of the handle 33 may be effectively saved.
  • Please refer to FIGS. 6 and 7. The terminal block structure 1 of the invention further includes a cover 50 for covering a side of the insulative base 10. The cover 50 includes a shaft 51, a pressing block 52 and multiple through holes 53. The shaft 51 is inserted correspondingly into the pivoting portion 31. The pressing block 52 is pressed to the connecting sheet 23. Each of the through holes 53 is correspondingly inserted by and fixed with the fixing bars 19. The terminal block structure 1 of the invention may be stacked with another terminal block structure 1 or multiple terminal block structures 1 to form a terminal block assembly structure.
  • Please refer to FIGS. 8 and 9. The terminal block structure 1 of the invention may have another embodiment besides the above embodiment. In this embodiment, the pressing portion 34A of the pressing element 30A extends from the pivoting portion 31 along the direction of the arm 32. The pressing portion 34A is substantially a cuboid shape. When the handle 33 is near the wire insertion hole 15, the pressing portion 34A abuts against the moving section 42.
  • Please refer to FIGS. 10 and 11. When using the terminal block structure 1, the handle 33 is pressed in the direction away from the wire insertion hole 15, the pressing portion 34A presses the moving section 42 of the clamping elastic piece 40 to move away from the wire insertion hole 15. At this time, the wire 8 may be inserted into the wire insertion hole 15, and the handle 33 is pressed in a direction toward the wire insertion hole 15. The pressing portion 34A releases the moving section 42 of the clamping elastic piece 40. The moving section 42 and the first conductive sheet 21 jointly clamp the core 81 through the elastic restoring force of the moving section 42. The same effect as the above embodiment may be achieved.
