DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further explains the conception, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model, to fully understand its objectives, features, and effects.

[0021] It should be noted that in the description of this disclosure, terms indicating direction or positional relationships such as upper, lower, left, right, vertical, horizontal, inner, outer, etc., are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These terms are used merely for convenience in description and do not imply that the described devices or elements must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be considered as limiting to this disclosure. Moreover, terms like first, and second are used only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] According to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, which show schematic diagrams of a preferred embodiment of this disclosure, it relates to a novel motor terminal connector comprising a main body 1. The main body 1 has aboard end and a wiring end, with a separating stop protrusion 12 disposed between the board end and the wiring end. When the wiring end is connected with a corresponding plastic case 6, the wiring end is inserted into the plastic case 6. The separating stop protrusion 12 is used to restrict and stop, thereby effectively limiting the insertion depth and enhancing the stability of the connection to prevent wobbling. The board end is disposed with pin 2 for board connection. In this embodiment, the pin 2 are preferably fish-eye shaped, and an expansion part 21 is disposed inside the pin 2. This expansion part 21 is preferably a concave slot or a through-hole penetrating the pin 2, utilizing the characteristics of the expansion part 21 to facilitate the insertion of the pin 2 into the PCB board and significantly reduce the stress on the PCB board connection holes, maintaining constant terminal orthogonality, enhancing connection stability, and reducing the need for soldering processes.

[0023] The wiring end of the main body 1 is disposed with a receiving slot 3. This receiving slot 3 has an opening away from the pins, and elastic cantilevers 4 are disposed on both sides of this opening. Each elastic cantilever 4 has a root and a free end. The root of the elastic cantilever 4 is connected to the sidewall of the opening, while its free end extends towards the inner bottom of the receiving slot, leaving a gap with the inner bottom, and the free ends of the two elastic cantilevers 4 gradually approach each other as they extend, creating an original space for elastic clamping. The two elastic cantilevers 4 are used to clamp enameled wire 5, and serrations 41 are disposed on the opposing sides of the two elastic cantilevers 4. The direction of the teeth of the serrations 41 is opposite to the extension direction of the free ends of the elastic cantilevers 4. Thus, the serrations 41 can press and pierce the enamel of the enameled wire 5 and automatically push out the enamel, enabling the two elastic cantilevers 4 to clamp the enameled wire 5 and form an electrical conductive connection. The enameled wire 5 is confined within the triangular space formed by the two elastic cantilevers 4 and the inner bottom of the receiving slot. The gap between the free ends of the clastic cantilevers 4 and the inner bottom of the receiving slot provides sufficient space for the elastic movement of the cantilevers 4 in the receiving slot 3, satisfying the requirements for clamping the wire without the risk of the enameled wire escaping from this triangular space. The receiving slot 3 provides space for the elastic movement of the two elastic cantilevers 4 when clamping the enameled wire 5. In the clamping state, the free ends of the elastic cantilevers 4 bend towards the walls of the receiving slot 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, a piercing protrusion 31 can further be disposed at the inner bottom of the receiving slot 3. The free ends of the two elastic cantilevers 4 extend towards the central part of this piercing protrusion 31, achieving a three-sided enclosure effect on the enameled wire. The piercing protrusion 31 in the figure extends towards both sides of the opening of the receiving slot 3, obtaining a corresponding length. This length is preferably greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the enameled wire 5, and the top of the piercing protrusion 31 preferably forms a blade-like shape to pierce into the enameled wire 5 from the corresponding side and form a conductive connection. This, combined with the connection of the enameled wire 5 by the two elastic cantilevers 4, achieves a three-sided conductive connection effect, enhancing electrical conductivity.

[0025] In this embodiment, the elastic cantilevers 4 are integrally formed with the main body 1, and the two elastic cantilevers 4 are symmetrical, achieving optimal clamping force and ensuring wire clamping stability. The root of the elastic cantilever 4 is constructed by extending from the sidewall of the opening of the receiving slot, and the outer side of the root of the elastic cantilever 4 is disposed with a concave arc section 42 to enhance the working performance of the clastic cantilever 4. The serrations 41 on each elastic cantilever 4 are multi-toothed and spaced along the extension direction of the cantilever 4, and the distance from the extended end of the free end of the cantilever 4 to the nearest serration 41 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the enameled wire 5, so that the serrations 41 can pierce the enameled wire and also remove the enamel, ensuring that the free end of the elastic cantilever 4 effectively avoids the influence of the enamel when clamping the enameled wire, obtaining good electrical conductive connection performance.

[0026] In this embodiment, the piercing-type terminal connector is either made from a single piece of metal plate by stamping or a single metal terminal made by a molding process. The wiring end of the main body 1 is disposed with barbs 11, which are used for connecting to a corresponding plastic case 6, enabling the main body 1 to be inserted into the plastic case 6 to achieve an anti-loose connection. During operation, the plastic case 6 is fixed, with predetermined terminal slots and wire slots that cross the terminals on the plastic case 6. First, the enameled wire is placed in the wire slot, and then the wiring end of the piercing-type terminal connector of this utility model is pressed into the predetermined terminal slot on the plastic case 6. During this pressing process, the serrations 41 on the two elastic cantilevers 4 press and pierce the enamel of the enameled wire 5 and automatically push out the enamel, enabling the two clastic cantilevers 4 to clamp the enameled wire 5 and form an electrical conductive connection. If the inner bottom of the receiving slot 3 is disposed with a piercing protrusion 31, the piercing protrusion 31 will also pierce the enameled wire from the corresponding side and form an electrical connection following the pressing force.

[0027] This utility model provides a piercing-type terminal connector suitable for board-to-wire connections, with a pin conveniently connecting to the board; the receiving slot is suitable for inserting enameled wires, and elastic cantilevers are disposed on both sides of the opening of the receiving slot. The free ends of the two elastic cantilevers gradually approach each other as they extend, providing optimal clamping elasticity for holding the enameled wire, with serrations on the opposing sides of the cantilevers to press and pierce the enamel of the enameled wire. In use, the serrations press and pierce the enamel of the enameled wire, pushing away the pierced enamel, allowing the two clastic cantilevers to effectively clamp the enameled wire, avoiding the influence of the enamel and obtaining good electrical conductive connection performance, and the two elastic cantilevers continuously clamp the enameled wire with elasticity, ensuring stability.

[0028] Although the preferred specific embodiments of this utility model have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the utility model should not be limited to the exact structure and operation fully identical to the description and drawings. For those skilled in the art, logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation can lead to many equivalent modifications and variations to the aforementioned embodiments without departing from the conception and scope of this utility model, and these modifications and variations should fall within the scope of protection demanded by this utility model.
