It is well known that a eonventional wiring switch is provided with a wire connector, whieh is a eonnector mounted on an electric equipment and used for enabling the electric equipment to be connected with connecting lines of a host The wire connector comprises an insulating body, a plurality of conductive holders and a plurality of screws. In this case, the insulating body is formed therein with a plurality of receiving rooms, on the top end of each of which a through hole is provided, the insulating body being provided at each of two sides thereof with a lateral through hole communicated with the receiving room, respectively. Each of the conductive holders is mounted in each of the receiving rooms of the insulating body, as well as provided at the top end thereof with a threaded hole and at the side thereof with an opening communicated with the lateral through hole of the insulating body.
Each of the screws is screwed to the threaded hole of the conductive holder.
When the wire connector is used, a connecting line of the host may be extended into an opening of the conductive holder through the lateral through hole of the insulating body, followed by turning each of the screws downward using a screw driver, such that the connecting line of the host may be fastened to each of the conductive holders by each of the downward screws. Thereby, the electric equipment is allowed to be electrically connected to the host.
Although the conventional wiring switch may be connected to the connecting line of the host to electrically connect the electric equipment with the host, the screw driver must be used for fastening the screws so as to fasten the connecting line of the host by means of the screws. Thus, inconvenience due to screwing down the screws by means of the screw driver in a narrow space with difficulty may occur when the electric equipment is mounted in the narrow space (such as, in the ceiling, for example), as well as danger due to bad connection or electrical short may be likely to emerge if the fastening of the screws is not tight.
it is apparent that above conventional one is truly not a satisfactory design with a lot of drawbacks, and thus should be improved desirably.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of above drawbacks of the conventional wiring switch, in which the screw driver is required for fastening the screws, an invention of a whole new automatic button-type switch is designed by the inventor eventually through unceasing research, experiments and improvements, on the basis of devoted research on various solutions to above drawbacks, in accordance with experience in manufacturing and accumulation of technology obtained from being engaged in various electrical materials, so as to eliminate the drawbacks occurring in prior art.
The present invention seeks to provide an automatic button-type switch, in which manually wiring without the need for hand tools is allowed when the connection of an electric equipment is desired.
The present invention further seeks to provide an automatic button-type switch, in which electrical connection between conducting wires having various materials, various thickness, single core and multicore is applicable when the connection of an electric equipment is desired.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an automatic button-type switch comprising an insulating body, a plurality of pressure sheet holders, a plurality of pressure sheets and a plurality of button-type disconnect switches. In this ease, the insulating body is formed therein with a plurality receiving rooms. At each of two sides of the insulating body, there is individually provided with a lateral through hole which, communicated with the receiving room, respectively, is used for allowing a conducting wire to be disposed therein. Each of the pressure sheet holders is made of electrically conductive material, and received in the corresponding receiving room with two ends corresponding to the two lateral through holes of the insulating body. Each of the pressure sheets is mounted in each of the pressure sheet holders, respectively, in such a way that two ends of each pressure sheet may be formed as electrical contacts. Each of the button-type disconnect switches is mounted on top of each of the pressure sheet holders, and provided at each of two ends thereof with a button, respectively. The top end of each of the buttons is projected upward out of the insulating body, while the bottom end thereof is extendingly provided with a pushing portion, by which the pressure sheet clamping the conducting wire may be pushed away when the button is pressed. When the automatic button-type switch is used, each of two conducting wires desired to be electrically interconnected may be inserted manually into the corresponding one of the two lateral through holes of the insulating body, allowing conductors of the two conducting wires to be clamped at two ends of the pressure sheet, respectively, and then electrically interconnected due to the fact that the pressure sheet holders are made of electrically conductive materials.
When the disconnection, and then, drawing the conducting wire out are desired, it is only required to press the button, allowing the pushing portion of the button to push the pressure sheet, clamping the conducting wire, away. As such, manually wiring without the need for hand tools is allowed when the connection of the electric equipment is desired. Moreover, electrical connection between conducting wires having various materials, various thickness, single core and multicore is applicable due to the design of thc pressure sheet clamping thc conducting wire, when the connection of the electric equipment is desired.
