Abstract

A wire detachment-preventing structure includes: a circuit board box, a housing provided with a wiring outlet and constituting the circuit board box, a terminal block for connecting a wire and provided on the circuit board box and provided with a wiring inlet; the circuit board box is provided with a wire detachment-preventing rib, the wiring inlet and the wiring outlet are provided on one same side of the wire detachment-preventing rib, a first passageway is formed between the wiring outlet and the wire detachment-preventing rib, a second passageway is formed between the wire detachment-preventing rib and the housing, and the wire from the wiring outlet bypasses the wire detachment-preventing rib through the second passageway and leads to the wiring inlet through the first passageway so as to form a U shape. By use of the wire detachment-preventing rib, the wire is not easily detached from the wiring inlet.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wire detachment-preventing structure, comprising:
a circuit board box,
a housing constituting the circuit board box,
a terminal block for connecting a wire and provided on the circuit board box,
wherein the terminal block is provided with a wiring inlet for leading the wire into the circuit board box,
the housing is provided with a wiring outlet for leading the wire outside the housing,
the wire extends from the wiring inlet to the wiring outlet;
the circuit board box is provided with a wire detachment-preventing rib,
the wiring inlet and the wiring outlet are both provided on one same side of the wire detachment-preventing rib with respect to the wire detachment-preventing rib,
a first passageway for passing the wire therethrough is formed between the wiring outlet and the wire detachment-preventing rib,
a second passageway for passing the wire therethrough is formed between the wire detachment-preventing rib and the housing, and
the wire from the wiring outlet bypasses the wire detachment-preventing rib through the second passageway and is lead to the wiring inlet through the first passageway so as to form a U shape.

2. The wire detachment-preventing structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein,
the wire detachment-preventing rib is provided with an opening having a diameter equal to or greater than the diameter of the wire, and
when viewed from the front of the wiring outlet, the opening is offset from the wiring outlet.

3. The wire detachment-preventing structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, the terminal block is provided with a fixing portion for fixing the wire, and
a plane on which the wiring inlet is formed and a sidewall of the housing on which the wiring outlet is provided form an angle less than 90 degrees therebetween such that the wiring inlet is inclined towards the wiring outlet.

4. The wire detachment-preventing structure according to claim 2 , wherein,
the wire detachment-preventing rib is of a flat-plate shape and comprises at least two contact points with the wire, a certain distance being kept between any two of the contact points.

5. The wire detachment-preventing structure of claim 1 , wherein the terminal block comprises a first terminal block for receiving strong current and a second terminal block for receiving weak current, and
an insulation wall is provided between the first terminal block and the second terminal block.
