Description

DESCRIPTION

A TERMINAL ASSEMBLY

Technical Field

The present invention is particularly related to a terminal assembly used in electronic circuits, providing data flow and cable connection between circuit elements, and forming a layered structure by being mounted on a wall.

Prior Art

Terminal blocks are used to connect cables in electrical circuits and to prevent hazards that may be caused by cable connections. They are reliable because the outer parts of the terminals are made of materials with high dielectric constant. Materials with high dielectric constant are non-conductive materials. The conductive parts inside the terminals have low resistance. Terminal blocks are frequently preferred especially in electrical circuits due to their reliability and low resistance of the conductive parts. One of the terminal types includes two basic parts, a socket and a slide. The cable passing through the socket is fixed with the help of a screw. Then, electromagnetic signals or current coming from the cable ends are transmitted with the pins on the slide. Another type of terminal is the cable connection with socket and cable connector. In this type of terminal, it is possible to connect the cables coming from both sides.

In an application in the state of the art, there are some problems in circuits that provide cable connection or use terminals containing sockets and slides. Especially in circuits where terminals containing sockets and slides are used, a tab protrusion found on the socket body is attached to a recess found on the slide. Thanks to this situation, the socket and the slide are fixed to each other. If a force acts on the connection, the tab is damaged and broken. This may cause the connection to break. In addition, if the tab conies off, the connection can be separated again. Separating the connection and creating a short circuit can cause work accidents and fires.

In another application in the state of the art, tabs are used to fix the terminals to each other and to fix the terminals that are fixed to each other on a floor. Similar to another application in the prior art, tabs can be damaged or may come off if force is applied on the tabs. This situation causes the terminal to be separated from the ground on which it is fixed.

In another embodiment of the state of the art, the terminals are lined up side by side. In the said application, the terminals are fixed to each other along a line. Positioning the terminals side by side creates confusion in the electronic circuit. At the same time, it cannot be distinguished exactly from which terminal the connection to be attached to the other end of the terminal will be inserted. Making wrong connections causes wrong current or signals to be transmitted to the circuit elements.

As also disclosed above, there are some important problems in the current art, especially in electrical circuits, in the terminal block used to transfer electrical current or signals between circuit elements. The primary reason for these problems is the mounting of sockets and slides with the help of tabs. Another problem occurs when the terminals are fixed to each other along a line. Another problem is caused by the tabs used to fix the terminals to a floor. These problems may cause material damage and injury. A more regular and safe alignment of the terminal assembly is important for the problem in question.

Thanks to the present invention, the terminals connected to each other by the dovetail assembly method and the terminal assembly fixed to a wall by the dovetail assembly method and assembled to form a layered structure are provided. In this way, a terminal assembly is provided in which the parts fixed to each other are more robust and do not take up much space thanks to its layered structure.

Objects of the Invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a terminal assembly comprising sockets and slides fixed to each other by the dovetail assembly method, and thereby having increased physical strength.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a terminal assembly with increased physical strength with terminals fixed on a surface by dovetail assembly method.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a more reliable and orderly terminal assembly by mounting the terminals that are mounted on each other on a surface and the said surface forming a layered structure.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a terminal assembly in which terminals of different colors are fixed to each other and the terminals that are fixed to each other can be easily distinguished according to color and layer by fixing the terminals that are fixed to each other on a surface.

The terminal assembly, which is the subject of the invention, consists of a slide, socket, mounting surface and cover. The slides can be mounted to each other. At least two slides are aligned side by side and mounted to each other. In this way, it is possible to assemble an infinite number of slides together. At the same time, the sockets can be aligned side by side and mounted to each other. Thanks to this situation, it is possible to assemble an infinite number of slides together. After the slides are mounted to each other, they are fixed to a mounting surface. Said mounting surface is in a layered structure. The lower layers of the mounting surface are longer than the upper layers. The slides are placed on the mounting surface layers in accordance with their lengths. After the slides are mounted on the mounting surface, the assembly is completed using a cover. A connection cable is preferably connected to the inside of the slide from the back of the slides. A connection cable belonging to other circuit elements desired to be connected to is connected to the socket from the back of the socket. The cables are compressed with the help of a compression element. The socket extension is snapped onto the slide protrusion. The needle in the slide is compressed between the clamps of the transmission element in the socket and the circuit is completed.

When the socket extension (3.2) is placed on the slide protrusion (2.2), the part of the needle (2.3) on the slide protrusion passes through the hole (3.2.1) and enters the socket body (3.1). Said hole (3.2.1) serves as a passage for the needle (2.3) to pass into the socket body (3.1). The size and diameter of the hole (3.2.1) may vary according to the size of the preferred needle (2.3). (Fig. 7)

The dovetail recess (3.2.2) is manufactured as a whole with the socket extension

(3.2). The dovetail recess (3.2.2) is brought to the socket (3) while the socket extension (3.2) is manufactured, or in a different case, after the socket (3) is manufactured, the dovetail recess (3.2.2) is brought to the socket (3) by cutting and carving processes. The dovetail recess (3.2.2) is located at the top of the socket extension (3.2), outside the socket extension (3.2). Said dovetail recess

(3.2.2) is preferably in trapezoidal form. The dovetail recess (3.2.2) is in the form of a cavity extending into the socket extension (3.2).

The clamp form of the transmission element (3.3) has a structure that narrows from the tip to the middle. The clamp ends run parallel to each other. Then, the clamp ends expand away from each other and the part where the clamp ends meet is preferably in the form of a "U". At the junction of the "U" form, there is an extension perpendicular to the "U" form. Following the said extension, there is the other end of the transmission element (3.3). The other end of the transmission element (3.3) extends in the opposite direction of the clamp. The other end of the transmission element (3.3) is in a form with triangular recesses and projections. Said triangular recesses and protrusions are used to hold the cables and circuit elements connected from the back of the socket (3) more firmly by compressing them. The compression element (S) bends the triangular part of the transmission element (3.3) vertically by applying pressure to the transmission element (3.3) over the recesses and protrusions. The cable and circuit elements connected from the back of the socket (3) by twisting are clamped and fixed between the triangular form and the socket body (3.1). In this way, socket (3) and slide (2) connection is provided. When the socket (3) is attached to the slide (2), the extension of the needle (2.3) on the slide protrusion (2.2) gets stuck between the clamps of the transmission element (3.3). This completes the circuit. (Fig. 10)

The mounting surface (4) is preferably manufactured from insulating materials with high dielectric constant, such as polymer.
