Abstract

A wire clip electrical connector, comprising a connector body, an elastic clip piece and an elastic conductive piece disposed in the connector body, and a push rod slidingly matched with the connector body. A wire insertion hole is formed in the connector body, and an elastic clip piece and an elastic conductive piece are located on two sides of the wire insertion hole, and the push rod is provided with a spring piece pressing structure and a stopping structure. According to the above design, the wire is inserted into the wire insertion hole, and the push rod slides relative to the connector body, and the elastic pressing structure on the elastic bar acts on the wire elastic piece, and the wire elastic piece presses the wire on the elastic conductive piece, and the stopping structure restricts the decoupling to achieve a stable connection between the electrical connector and the wire.

Claims (16)

1. A wire clip electrical connector comprising:

a connector body, an elastic clip piece disposed in the connector body, and an elastic conductive piece;

wherein the connector body defines a wire insertion hole, the elastic clip piece and the elastic conductive piece are located at two sides of the wire insertion hole for clamping the wire inserted into the wire insertion hole;

wherein the connector body is slidably fitted with a push rod, the push rod is provided with a spring pressing structure, under the action of the elastic pressing structure, the clamping elastic piece presses the wire in the direction of the elastic conductive piece;

wherein a number of the wire insertion holes is two or more;

wherein any one of the wire insertion holes is provided with a sliding slot, and any one of the sliding slots is matched with a push rod, the push rod is parallel with the wire insertion hole, and the pushing rod forward moving direction in the sliding slot is the same as the wire inserting direction in the wire insertion hole.

2. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two or more wire insertion holes are juxtaposed on the same side of connector body.

3. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two wire insertion holes are distributed before and after the connector body both sides.

4. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the elastic clip piece comprises an elastic piece upper portion and an elastic piece lower portion, and the elastic piece upper portion and the elastic piece upper portion are formed from bending an elastic piece; a bending shaft is matched with a bending portion of the elastic piece; a rotating shaft is fixedly disposed in the connector body, and the elastic piece upper portion is in contact with the elastic pressing structure of the pushing rod.

5. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said spring compression structure is a wedge-shaped structure disposed at the front end of the push rod.

6. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the push rod is provided with a first elastic wire stop structure, and the elastic piece upper portion is provided; wherein, there is provided a second elastic wire stop structure that cooperates with the first elastic wire stop structure; the first elastic wire stop structure is located behind the wedge structure.

7. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said first elastic wire stop structure is a bump disposed on the push rod, and said second elastic wire stop structure is a groove provided on the elastic piece upper portion.

8. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the elastic clip piece comprises an elastic piece upper portion and an elastic piece lower portion, and the elastic piece upper portion and the elastic piece upper portion are formed from bending an elastic piece; a bending shaft is matched with a bending portion of the elastic piece; a rotating shaft is fixedly disposed in the connector body, and the elastic piece upper portion is in contact with the elastic pressing structure of the pushing rod.

9. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said spring compression structure is a wedge-shaped structure disposed at the front end of the push rod.

10. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the push rod is provided with a first elastic wire stop structure, and the elastic piece upper portion is provided; wherein, there is provided a second elastic wire stop structure that cooperates with the first elastic wire stop structure; the first elastic wire stop structure is located behind the wedge structure.

11. The wire clip electrical connector as claimed in claim 10 , wherein said first elastic wire stop structure is a bump disposed on the push rod, and said second elastic wire stop structure is a groove provided on the elastic piece upper portion.
