Ground terminal for multi-outlet {A ground terminal for multi-concent}

The present invention relates to a ground terminal for a multi-outlet, and more particularly, to improve the structure of the terminal in a multi-outlet used by connecting electronic products such as a home or office computer system to secure excellent electrical contact and electrical stability. The present invention relates to a ground terminal for a multi-outlet.

In general, an outlet is a mechanism for inserting a plug by connecting a wire to connect a cord used indoors in an indoor wiring of electricity, and a multi-outlet capable of inserting a plurality of plugs is commonly used.

For example, electronic products such as home / office computer systems or home theater systems consist of a main unit and several peripherals, each powered by a power supply.

In this case, multiple outlets are mainly used to collectively supply power to the main and peripheral devices.

In addition, when using a large number of office computers such as offices, power is supplied to a plurality of computers, monitors, printers, scanners, etc. by using a plurality of power outlets. It is common.

The multi-outlet has a number of ports that can be combined with plugs of other devices, and a plug that can be connected to an outlet installed on a wall or floor of a building to supply power to each port.

At this time, the number of ports of the multi-outlet depends on the standard, but usually two to six ports are used.

In addition, the multi-outlet is provided with an on / off switch to turn on / off the power by itself, so that the power supply and the cutoff can be collectively performed.

Recently, a plurality of main outlet power supplies for common connection to a power input terminal have a built-in PCB module to control load power, function as a main power distribution board, and calculate and display a consumption current for a plurality of outlets. The outlet is shown.

However, in the case of the existing multi-outlet, it is vulnerable to deformation in case of heat generation due to contact resistance, because the connection terminal and the grounding terminal which are separated from each other are adopted. There is a disadvantage in that the functional degradation as well as the weak side in terms of electrical safety.

Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the installation structure of the ground terminal for a conventional multi-outlet.

As shown, the multi-outlet includes an outlet upper body 14 having a plug fastener for plugging therein, an outlet lower body 16 for receiving or supporting the terminals and the terminal plate 15, and control of the outlet.

In such a multi-outlet, terminals for connecting the ground and the power, that is, the conductive terminal 20 and the ground terminal 10 are assembled in a structure arranged above and below with the terminal plate 15 therebetween.

In the case of the ground terminal 10 at this time, since the grounding terminal 12 connected to the plug side and the connecting terminal 11 connected to the earth wire side are separated, the grounding terminal 12 and The screw 12 is screwed together at the same time, the assembly is not good.

That is, in the conventional multi-outlet, since the connection terminal 11 and the grounding terminal 12 which are separated into two are used, it is disadvantageous in terms of the number of parts. In addition to hampering the overall assembly workability, such as the need to assemble by screwing one by one, there is a disadvantage in terms of unit cost, leading to an increase in manufacturing cost.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised in view of such a point, and by implementing a new type of integrated grounding terminal assembly in which the grounding terminal and the connecting terminal are integrally manufactured among the components of the multi-conset, the terminal assembly work is simplified. Not only can it be carried out, but also the manufacturing cost can be drastically lowered, and the overall function of securing excellent electrical contact, such as completely eliminating electrical safety accidents such as electric shock or fire, can be completely eliminated. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a grounding terminal for a multi-outlet that, of course, can maintain electrical safety, thereby protecting circuits and connected devices and ultimately preventing the risk of electrical safety accidents.

In order to achieve the above object, the grounding terminal for the multi-outlet provided in the present invention includes a socket body for plug insertion and terminal accommodation, a grounding terminal and a conductive terminal for grounding and power connection, and a terminal plate for mounting the terminal and a PCB.
