With reference to Figs. 1 to 5, the present invention provides an integrated junction box 100, which includes a terminal receptacle 1 and a lamp holder 40 fixed to the terminal receptacle 1. The terminal receptacle 1 includes an outlet opening 12 configured for passing an external connecting wire through, to directly and electrically connect the terminal receptacle 1 with the external connecting wire. A cover 20 has a rotatable connection with the terminal receptacle 1, wherein a rotation of the cover 20 to the terminal receptacle 1 forms an open status (Fig. 3) or a tight status (Fig. 1) between the outlet opening 12 and the cover 20. In the tight status, the cover 20 rotates to form a tight space between the outlet opening 12 and the cover 20 for fixing the external connecting wire in the outlet opening 12. In the open status, the cover 20 rotates to leave an open space above the outlet opening 12 available for dis-attaching the external connecting wire from the outlet opening 12.
In the aforementioned embodiment, the cover 20 is disposed on the terminal receptacle 1. The outlet opening 12 is disposed above the terminal receptacle 1, and the external connecting wire may directly pass through the outlet opening 12 to electrically connect the terminal receptacle 1. When the cover 20 rotates to the tight status, this operation can fix a portion of the external connecting wire in the outlet opening 12. When the cover 20 opens up (rotates to the open status), it may dis-attach the external connecting wire from the outlet opening 12. The disposition of the cover 20, can integrate the terminal receptacle 1 and the lamp holder 40 into one piece structure. Thus other conducting wires between the terminal receptacle 1 and the lamp holder 40 can be excluded, such that higher reliability, less tooling mould(s), simpler production process, and higher yield rate can be achieved. The cover 20 and the terminal receptacle 1 construct an assembly capable of forming the open status or the tight status without other tools, wherein a step of dis-attaching or fixing of the external connecting wire becomes much easier by merely rotating the cover 20 to/off the terminal receptacle 1.
Besides, the terminal receptacle 1 may include an enclosure 10. The outlet opening 12 is disposed above a side wall of the enclosure 10. A plugging plate 21 is disposed on the cover 20, to be inserted through and to engage a bottom wall of the enclosure 10. The cover 20, the enclosure 10, and the plugging plate 21 are substantially plastic components, which have good insulation and elastic capabilities. The cover 20 can engage the enclosure 10 with the elastic capability of the plugging plates 21, which provides a convenience of closing and opening the cover 20. When closing the cover 20, a step of pressing downward the cover 20 can make the plugging plates 21 engage the enclosure 10. When opening the cover 20, a step of pulling upward the cover 20 with an elastic deformation in the plugging plates 21 can dis-attach the plugging plates 21 from the enclosure 10.
Further, at least two gripping protrusions 22 may be separately disposed on the plugging plates 21 along a direction of inserting the plugging plate through a plugging hole 14 on the enclosure, wherein the plugging hole 14 is disposed on the bottom wall of the enclosure 10, for engaging the gripping protrusions 22. Corresponding to various inserting depth requirements of the plugging plates 21, different ones of the gripping protrusions 22 on the plugging plate 21 can be used to engage the plugging holes 14; thereby, the outlet opening 12 has an adjustable size. When the external connecting wire is thinner, the plugging plates 21 can have deeper inserting depths and the outlet opening 12 becomes smaller such that the external connecting wire can be fixed. Or, when the external connecting wire is thicker, the plugging plates 21 can have shallower inserting depths and the outlet opening 12 becomes bigger in correspondence with the thicker external connecting wire. Therefore, the at least two gripping protrusions 22 can be used to adjust the inserting depths of the plugging plates 21, for adjusting the size of the outlet opening 12 for fitting the sizes of the external connecting wires, such that different sizes of the external connecting wires according to various customer's requirements, can be used in the integrated junction box of the present invention. By the size adjustment of the outlet opening 12, the different sizes of the external connecting wires used in the integrated junction box can meet test requirements with a pull force greater than 60N.
In one embodiment, the gripping protrusions 22 may be in a form of saw teeth.
In one embodiment, a count of the plugging plates on the cover is two, which are disposed on the cover 20 in parallel, and a count of the corresponding plugging holes on the enclosure 10 are two.
In one embodiment, a wire tying plate 24 may be formed as downward protrusion on the cover 20, and the wire tying plate 24 includes a plurality of teeth 241 facing a surface of the enclosure 10. Or, the wire tying plate is disposed on the enclosure 10 with an upward protrusion, and includes the plurality of teeth facing a surface of the cover 20; or, a first tying plate is disposed on the cover 20 and includes a plurality of first teeth facing the surface of the enclosure 10, and a second wire tying plate is disposed on the enclosure 10 to correspond to the first tying plate, and the second tying plate includes a plurality of second teeth corresponding to the first teeth. In Fig. 3, a positioning plate 15 is disposed on the enclosure 10, wherein the positioning plate 15 faces the wire tying plate 24. Thereby, a second positioning function is built inward from the outlet opening 12, and it can provide a further fixing function over the external connecting wires. The teeth 241 on the wire tying plate 24, can increase friction between the wire tying plate 24 and the external connecting wires, for securing that the electrical connection between the external connecting wires and the terminal receptacle 1 is more reliable, to avoid the external connecting wires from falling off. Or, in one embodiment, the wire tying plate 24 is disposed, and the positioning plate 15 is excluded. Or, the wire tying plate 24 may be disposed on the enclosure 10, and the teeth are disposed on the wire tying plate 24 to face a surface of the cover 20. Alternatively, a first tying plate is disposed on the cover 20 and includes a plurality of first teeth facing the surface of the enclosure 10, and a second wire tying plate is disposed on the enclosure 10 to correspond to the first tying plate, and the second tying plate includes a plurality of second teeth corresponding to the first teeth. The teeth on corresponding sides can make the fixing of the external connecting wire more reliable.
Besides, the outlet opening 12 may include a trapezoid slot on a side of the enclosure 10 to face the cover 20. The cover 20 may further include a wire pressing plate 23 with a trapezoid shape to be inserted into the outlet opening 12. Corresponding to various inserting depths of the plugging plates 21, the wire pressing plate 23 correspondingly has different inserting depths into the outlet opening 12. Thereby, the outlet opening 12 may have adjustable sizes. By the aforementioned operation of the outlet opening 12 and the wire pressing plate 23, the size adjustment of the outlet opening 12 can be further secured, for fixing various types of the external connecting wires.
The enclosure 10 is in a quasi-cylindrical shape. The enclosure 10 further includes a first accommodating chamber 11 and a second accommodating chamber 13 communicating with a side of the first accommodating chamber 11 (the second accommodating chamber 13 communicating the first accommodating chamber 11).
