Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fuse base, and in particular, to a connection assembly for a fuse base connection terminal.
  • EP 1 596 471 A1 discloses a connection assembly for an electrical apparatus, which is suitable to be used also for a fuse base connection terminal, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • connection assembly for a fuse base connection terminal for a user's free choice.
  • An object of the invention is to overcome the deficiency in prior art, so as to provide a connection assembly for a fuse base connection terminal for user's free choice.
  • connection assembly for a fuse base connection terminal, comprising a base and a connection terminal arranged in the base, wherein a connection hole is provided on the connection terminal, the connection assembly further comprises a support piece connected with the connection terminal by insertion, wherein the support piece comprises an accommodation groove for receiving a nut or a bolt, wherein the accommodation groove is provided with an opening on its side surface and provided with a through hole on its bottom, wherein a bolt mounting hole is arranged in the base at a location corresponding to the support piece, and the bolt mounting hole, the connection hole, and the through hole are arranged in line.
  • the accommodation groove is of a hexagonal shape.
  • the width of the opening is larger than that of two adjacent side surfaces of the accommodation groove.
  • a limit projection is arranged on a bottom of the opening.
  • two tabs are symmetrically arranged on the support piece, and a step is formed between the tabs and the accommodation groove for being connected with the connection terminal by snap fit.
  • each of the tabs comprises a stopper
  • the connection terminal comprises a notch to cooperate with the stopper, such that the stopper snaps into the notch for limiting the location at which a support piece is inserted into the connection terminal.
  • the support piece further comprises an elastic catch for being connected to the base at a location corresponding to the connection terminal.
  • a connection assembly for a fuse base connection terminal comprises a base 1 and a connection terminal 2, wherein the connection terminal 2 is provided within the base 1 and is provided with a connection hole 21.
  • the connection assembly also comprises a support piece 3 connected with the connection terminal 2 by insertion.
  • the support piece 3 comprises an accommodation groove 31 for receiving a nut 4 or a bolt 5, wherein the accommodation groove 31 is provided with an opening 32 in its side surface, and with a through hole 37 in its bottom.
  • a bolt mounting hole 11 is arranged on the base 1 at a location corresponding to the support piece 3. All of the three component: the bolt mounting hole 11, the connection hole 21, and the through hole 37 are arranged in line.
  • Fig. 2 shows a state wherein the support piece 3 is connected with the connection terminal 2 by insertion.
  • Fig. 3 shows a state wherein the support piece 3 is detached from the connection terminal 2.
  • connection terminal 2 When a user needs a connection terminal for a nut, he/she first pulls the support piece 3 out of the connection terminal 2; then places the nut 4 into the support piece 3, as shown in Fig. 5 ; finally, pushes the support piece 3 along with the nut 4 into the connection terminal 2.
  • the nut 4 can be inserted into the accommodation groove 31 along a vertical direction in Fig. 5 , or can pass through the opening 32 into the accommodation groove 31 along a horizontal direction in Fig. 5 .
  • connection terminal 2 When a user needs a connection terminal for a blot, he/she first pulls the support piece 3 out of the connection terminal 2; then inserts the bolt 5 through the bolt mounting hole 11 of the base 1 into the connection hole 21 of the connection terminal 2, as shown in Fig. 6 ; finally, pushes the support piece 3 into the connection terminal 2, and secures the bolt 5.
  • a head of the bolt 5 passes through the opening 32 into the accommodation groove 31, when the support piece 3 is being pushed.
  • the nut or the bolt By means of the support piece which can be connected with the connection terminal by insertion, the nut or the bolt can be placed into the support piece.
  • a user can freely choose to place the nut or the bolt into the support piece, to achieve connection of the connection terminal and a cable.
  • the support piece serves to receive the nut or the bolt, and secure the nut or the bolt to the connection terminal.
  • the through hole 37 is arranged in the bottom of the support piece 3, as shown in Fig. 4 .
  • the bolt for connecting the cable passes successively through the connection hole 21, the nut 4, and the through hole 37, so as to fasten the cable to the connection terminal 2.
  • the accommodation groove 31 is of hexagon.
  • the accommodation groove 31 is the same as the heads of the nut 4 and the bolt 5 in terms of shape, but somewhat larger than the heads of the nut 4 and the bolt 5.
  • the hexagonal accommodation groove 31 can serve to prevent the nut and bolt from moving in the accommodation groove 31.
  • the accommodation groove can possess other shapes and still falls into the protection scope of the invention, as long as it serves to receive the nut and the bolt.
  • the width of the opening 32 of the hexagonal accommodation groove 31 is larger than that of two adjacent side surfaces of the accommodation groove 31.
  • the opening 32 facilitates receiving of the nut 4 and the bolt 5 into the accommodation groove 32.
  • the head of the bolt 5 can pass through the opening 32 smoothly after the bolt 5 is inserted to the connection terminal 2, and thus the support piece 3 can be inserted to the connection terminal 2 along a horizontal direction in Fig. 6 .
  • a limit projection 33 is arranged on the bottom of the opening 32.
  • the height of the limit projection 33 is higher than the bottom of the accommodation groove 31.
  • the limit projection 33 is used to limit the location at which the nut 4 is placed in the accommodation groove 31, preventing the nut 4 from sliding out of the accommodation groove 31.
  • the location of the bolt 5 does not need to be limited by the limit projection 33, since the bolt 5 is inserted into the through hole 21, and thus the location of the bolt 5 is limited by the through hole 21.
  • two tabs 34 are asymmetrically arranged on the support piece 3, and a step 35 is formed between the tabs 34 and the accommodation groove 32 for being connected with the connection terminal 2 by snap fit.
  • the step 35 contacts with the bottom surface of the connection terminal 2, with the tabs 34 being located on two sides of the connection terminal 2. The step 35 can serve to prevent the support piece 3 from turning over.
  • each of the tabs 34 comprises a stopper 341 which is used to limit the location at which the support piece 3 is inserted to the connection terminal 2.
  • a notch 22 is formed on the connection terminal 2 to cooperate with the stopper 341, such that the stopper 341 snaps into the notch 22.
  • the support piece 3 also comprises elastic catches 36 for being connected to the base 1 at a location corresponding to the connection terminal 2.
  • the elastic catches 36 in this embodiment are formed on two sides of the opening 32.
  • the elastic catches 36 can be formed on two sides of the support piece 3 or other locations, and still falls into the protection scope of the invention, as long as the elastic catch 36 can serve to be connected to the base 1 for securing the support piece 3.
