Abstract

A cable fastening terminal block (10) used for a cable (100) includes a base (1), a fastening terminal member (2), and a screw (3). The base (1) includes an opening hole (11) and a through hole (12) formed alternatively and connected with each other. The fastening terminal member (2) is received inside the base (1) and corresponding to the opening hole (11) and the through hole (12). The fastening terminal member (2) includes a terminal slab (21) having a top end (211) formed of an engagement portion (22) extended along the opening hole (11) axially and a guiding extension piece (23) extended along the through hole (12) axially. The cable (100) penetrates through hole (12) and is placed on the guiding extension piece (23). The screw (3) penetrates opening hole (11) and is engaged with engagement portion (22). The screw (3) and the guiding extension piece jointly clamp the cable.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cable fastening terminal block, used for at least one cable ( 100 ), and the cable fastening terminal block, comprising:
a base ( 1 ) having at least one opening hole ( 11 ) and at least one through hole ( 12 ) formed thereon from an external toward an internal thereof, the at least one opening hole ( 11 ) and the at least one through hole ( 12 ) arranged alternating from each other and connected to each other;
at least one fastening terminal member ( 2 ) received inside the base ( 1 ) and arranged corresponding to the opening hole ( 11 ) and the through hole ( 12 ); the fastening terminal member ( 2 ) having a terminal slab ( 21 ), and a top end ( 211 ) of the terminal slab ( 21 ) having an engagement portion ( 22 ) extended along the opening hole ( 11 ) in an axial direction thereof and a guiding extension piece ( 23 ) extended along the through hole ( 12 ) in an axial direction thereof; the cable ( 100 ) penetrating through the through hole ( 12 ) and being placed on the guiding extension piece ( 23 ); and
at least one screw ( 3 ) penetrating through the opening hole ( 11 ) and engaged with the engagement portion ( 22 ); the screw ( 3 ) and the guiding extension piece ( 23 ) jointly clamping the cable ( 100 ) thereon,
wherein the engagement portion ( 22 ) penetrates into the opening hole ( 11 ), and the guiding extension piece ( 23 ) is formed to extend toward a direction away from the through hole ( 12 );
wherein the guiding extension piece ( 23 ) includes a concave inner surface ( 231 ), and the concave inner surface ( 231 ) is attached onto the cable ( 100 );
wherein the engagement portion ( 22 ) includes two engagement shafts ( 221 ) extending from the top end ( 211 ) of the terminal slab ( 21 ) and penetrating into the opening hole ( 11 ); the two engagement shafts ( 221 ) are arranged at two sides of the guiding extension piece ( 23 ).

2. The cable fastening terminal block according to claim 1 , wherein an inner wall of the opening hole ( 11 ) includes two protrusions ( 111 ) formed at two sides of the two engagement shafts ( 221 ); an inner side of the two protrusions ( 111 ) includes a first inner threaded portion ( 112 ), an inner side of the two engagement shafts ( 221 ) include a second inner threaded portion ( 222 ), the screw ( 3 ) includes an outer threaded portion ( 31 ) engaged with the first inner threaded portion ( 112 ) and the second inner threaded portion ( 222 ).

3. The cable fastening terminal block according to claim 2 , wherein the inner wall of the opening hole ( 11 ) includes two locking slots ( 113 ), outer sides of the two engagement shafts ( 221 ) include two locking pins ( 223 ) locked onto the two locking slots ( 113 ).

4. The cable fastening terminal block according to claim 3 , wherein the inner sides of the two engagement shafts ( 221 ) include two protruding points ( 224 ) extending therefrom and arranged underneath the first inner threaded portion ( 222 ) in order to allow the screw ( 3 ) to be blocked and limited by the two protruding points ( 224 ).

5. The cable fastening terminal block according to claim 4 , wherein the base ( 1 ) includes a top surface ( 13 ) and a plurality of side surfaces ( 14 ); the opening hole ( 11 ) is formed on the top surface ( 13 ), and the through hole ( 12 ) is formed on one of the plurality of side surfaces ( 14 ).

6. The cable fastening terminal block according to claim 5 , wherein the base ( 1 ) further includes a bottom surface ( 15 ); a bottom end of the terminal slab ( 21 ) includes a protruding leg ( 212 ); the protruding leg ( 212 ) protrudes outward and is exposed at the bottom surface ( 15 ).

7. The cable fastening terminal block according to claim 6 , wherein the terminal slab ( 21 ) is of a T-shape, and the terminal slab ( 21 ) and the two engagement shafts ( 221 ) jointly form a Y-shape.
