Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To reduce the wiring space and to save labor in wiring work. [Structure] Crimping terminals 11 are formed by integrally forming sleeves 12 and 13 to which electric wires are connected at both ends of an outer periphery of a fixing ring 14. When the crimp terminal 11 is used, the electric wires 18 to be connected to the sleeves 12 and 13 at both ends are inserted and crushed to be connected. Then the ring 14
The screw 15 is inserted into and is fixed to the terminal block 16. As a result, since the two electric wires 18 are connected by fixing only one ring 14, the space for wiring is reduced and the wiring work can be saved.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a crimp terminal which is used for connecting electric wires and which is composed of a ring and a sleeve.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A conventional crimp terminal composed of a ring and a sleeve is configured as shown in FIGS. That is, the sleeve 2 which is crushed after the electric wire is inserted and the ring 3 into which the fixing screw is inserted and tightened are integrally formed. When connecting an electric wire using this crimp terminal 1, it is used as shown in FIG. 3, for example. In the illustrated example, two female screws 5 and 6 are formed on the terminal block 4 in order to fix the crimp terminal 1, and the surface on which the ring 3 is abutted is formed by a continuous conductor plate 7. Has been formed. By inserting the screw 7 into the ring 3 and then screwing the crimp terminals 1 into which the ends of the electric wires 8 are respectively inserted into the sleeve 2 and crimped and fixed, the crimp terminals 1 facing each other are electrically connected. Connected. Usually, up to two crimp terminals can be fixed to one screw 7, so that a surge absorber SC or the like can be similarly connected via the crimp terminal 1 if necessary.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when wiring is performed using these crimp terminals 1, a certain space is occupied above and below the terminal block 4 by mounting the crimp terminals 1 as shown in the figure. In particular, in a board where a large number of wirings are arranged by arranging the terminal blocks 4 in multiple stages, the size of this space determines the size of the board, and the wiring space on the terminal block is reduced due to the downsizing of the board. Was strongly requested. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a crimp terminal capable of reducing the wiring space on the terminal block.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that two or more sleeves for crimping an electric wire are formed on an outer peripheral portion of a fixing ring.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the present invention, since two or more sleeves for crimping the electric wire are formed on the outer peripheral portion of the fixing ring, for example, when two electric wires are connected via the terminal block, one crimp terminal is used. After connecting two wires, one screw is enough to fix to the terminal block. As a result, the size of the terminal block can be reduced, and the space occupied by the crimp terminal itself can be reduced compared to the case where two terminals are used.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 11 is a crimp terminal, sleeves 12 and 13 are formed at both ends thereof, which are crushed after an electric wire is inserted, and a fixing ring 14 is integrally formed at an intermediate portion thereof. In the crimp terminal 11 of the illustrated example, the sleeves 12 and 13 and the ring 14 are arranged in a straight line, that is, the sleeves 12 and 13 are arranged at an angle of 180 degrees with respect to the tongue ring 14. It is also possible to set the angle to another angle, such as 90 degrees or 135 degrees. It is also possible to add another sleeve other than the sleeves 12 and 13 connected to the ring 14.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of use of the crimp terminal 11. As shown in the drawing, after the electric wires 18 connected to the sleeves 12 and 13 at both ends of the crimp terminal 11 are crimped and fixed, a screw 15 is inserted into the ring 14 and fixed to the terminal block 16. If necessary, the surge absorber SC connected by the conventional crimp terminal 1 may be superposed on the ring 14 and then the screw 15 may be fixed for connection.

When wiring is performed by using the crimp terminal 11 of the embodiment, the wiring space on the terminal block 16 is smaller than that of the conventional one because the number of crimp terminals used is reduced. Also, since the number of screws is reduced by one, the wiring work is saved. As a result, especially in a board in which terminal blocks are arranged in multiple stages and a large number of wirings are provided, the board can be downsized because the space is reduced. In addition, since this crimp terminal 11 can connect two wires even though it is one, the terminal block 16 to be used need only have one row of female threads 17, and the contact surface between the crimp terminals can be used. Since it is not necessary to form a conductor plate for connecting the terminals, the terminal block itself can be downsized and the cost can be reduced.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, two or more sleeves for crimping wires are formed on the outer periphery of the fixing ring, so that one crimp terminal can be used when connecting two or more wires. You can connect. As a result, the wiring work can be saved, and the space occupied by the crimp terminals can be reduced compared to the case where a plurality of conventional crimp terminals are used for connection, and the wiring board can be downsized.
