Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of wiring of electrical equipment, and in particular, to a wiring device for a switch socket.
  • the present invention relates to a wiring device for a switch socket as defined in the generic part of claim 1 attached.
  • US 2018/0331438 A1 discloses a wiring device of the generic type as defined above. Specifically, US 2018/0331438 A1 discloses a terminal for electrically connecting at least one conductor, the terminal comprising an insulating material housing, a contact body with a contact frame and a contact spring, and an operating element.
  • the operating element has a bearing region for rotatably mounting the operating element in the insulating material housing about a rotation axis, and at least one operating structure, which is at a radial distance from the bearing region and extends in the direction of the rotation axis, for moving the clamping limb between the conductor clamping position and the conductor release position in the event of a rotational movement of the operating element about its rotation axis.
  • the insulating material housing has a supporting region which axially extends between the rotation axis and the operating structure to support the operating structure on the supporting region at least in the conductor release position.
  • Document CN 209045802 U discloses a metal connecting piece and a wiring terminal using the same.
  • the structure comprises a first metal part and a second metal part, the first metal part comprises a fixed part and an elastic part; the second metal part comprises a pressing part and a threading part.
  • the elastic part and the pressing part are matched with each other to press the head part of the penetrated wire, the pressing part is trapezoidal, and the two corners, extending outwards, of the trapezoid are fillets.
  • Document US 9,437,940 B1 discloses a terminal block connector having a front shell, a rear shell, a metal contact assembly, wire insertion openings, and pullable caps.
  • the metal contact assembly is formed by front flexible metal strips and rear metal strips.
  • the front flexible metal strips are tilted upwardly. Top portions of the rear metal strips have protruding strips. The tilted portions of the front flexible metal strips are positioned below the protruding strips and are in contact therewith.
  • Bulges are provided on the top portion of the front shell each having two troughs on its two sides.
  • One end of a pullable cap is a pulling grip, another end of which contains two symmetrical press strips.
  • the symmetrical press strips are inserted into corresponding troughs.
  • a press tip is formed at a bottom part of each press strip. Recesses corresponding to the press tips are provided on the front flexible metal strips.
  • switch sockets are widely used because they have the function of controlling circuits of household appliances to be opened or closed.
  • the plug of an appliance can contact a copper sheet of a socket so that the socket can supply power to the appliance.
  • a switch can connect a circuit wire of the appliance to the power conducting copper sheet, so that the on-state of the circuit of the appliance can be controlled by the switching action of the switch.
  • a switch socket on the market generally uses a screw or a spring to connect a wire and a power conducting copper sheet on the switch socket.
  • the screwing process is time-consuming. If a large number of wires need to be connected, a large amount of time is required in the screwing process, resulting in low wiring efficiency.
  • a wire is a copper wire with a relatively large diameter
  • the copper wire is relatively hard
  • a screw is used to fix the copper wire with a relatively large diameter
  • the copper wire may be loosened due to vibration.
  • the wire is wound from a large number of copper wires with a smaller diameter, the copper wires in contact with the screw may be easily broken during wiring due to the relatively soft texture of the copper wires, and stability of the circuit is also poor.
  • a conventional spring-type structure generally has the following disadvantages: When a wire enters an existing switch socket, an external force is required to forcibly push the wire into a pressing structure in the switch socket, and the friction between the wire and the pressing structure is relatively large, which prevents the wire from being removed from the switch socket. In addition, if the wire is wound from a large number of fine copper wires, the wire cannot be pushed into the pressing structure due to its insufficient hardness, and the contact is poor.
  • a wiring device for a switch socket which is suitable for different types of wires, so that the wires can enter and leave the switch socket smoothly, damage to the wires is reduced, and quick wiring is achieved.
  • the objective of the present invention is achieved by the wiring device for a switch socket as defined by claim 1 attached.

  • the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
  • the abutment end can be driven to rotate, the abutment end can rotate to the lowest point to abut against the groove, and the elastic member is pressed down to separate the contact portion from the wire, so that the wire can enter or leave the cavity smoothly, and the wire is not damaged during wiring.
