ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a receptacle, and especially to a receptacle having a structure conveniently in assembly, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost,
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A receptacle for electrically connecting with a plurality of leads is illustrated in FIG.
1
. The receptacle is suitable for being connected to the wires of a computer or a phone. The top of the main body
10
a
of the receptacle is installed with an elastomer
11
a.
The bottom in the main body
10
a
is installed with a plurality of terminals
12
a.
The terminals
12
a
may move longitudinally. A top of the terminal
12
a
is installed with a connector
13
a
in the main body
10
a.
The connector
13
a
has a plurality of rectangular grooves
14
a
for being communicating with outer environment. The position of the opening of the rectangular groove
14
a
is correspondent to the terminal
12
a
of the main body
10
a.
Thereby, the terminals
12
a
passes through the rectangular grooves
14
a
to the connector
13
a
and a plurality of guide grooves (not shown) are formed in the connector
13
a.
When a plurality of leads
20
a
are desired to be inserted into the receptacle, the leads
20
are inserted from the rear end of the main body
10
a
so that the leads
20
a
are inserted into the guide grooves in the connector
13
a.
Thereby, the terminals
12
a
passes through the rectangular grooves
14
a
to the connector
13
a
and the terminals
12
a
pierce the leads
20
a
so that the terminals
12
a
are electrically connected to the conductor within the leads
20
a.
However, in the prior art receptacle, the leads
20
a
are inserted from the rear end of the main body
10
a,
so that the leads
20
a
are inserted into the guide grooves in the connector
13
a
since the connector
13
a
is fixed to the deep inner portion of the main body
10
a
and the leads are made of slender and soft material. It is very hard to align the lead and the wire groove in the connector. As a result, the assembly work is inconvenient.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a receptacle having a structure conveniently in assembly, in which the leads are connected with the connector in advance so that the leads are connected with the connector external the main body. Then the connector pulls the leads into the main body so as to be electrically connected to the terminals. By this special design, the assembly work is easy with less work and cost. The product cost is low and is economical.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a receptacle having a structure conveniently in assembly, in which near a rear end of the receiving chamber of the main body has a buckle and a correspondent positioning groove; the buckle is pushed inwards so as to push a respective portions on the leads to move into the positioning groove so that the lead is clamped between the buckle and the positioning groove. Furthermore, the portion of a lead with respect to the buckle and positioning groove is distorted for preventing to release from the main body or the connector due to an outer force applied thereon.
To achieve the objects, the present invention provides a receptacle having a structure conveniently in assembly comprising a main body, terminals, a connector and leads. A receiving chamber is installed in the main body. A front end of the main body is installed with a plurality of terminal grooves. The terminal grooves are communicated with the receiving chamber. The terminals are placed in the terminal grooves of the main body. A hollow cover is formed at the rear end of the connector. A plurality of wire grooves are installed at the front end of the connector. The lateral walls of the wire grooves are opened. The leads pass through the hollow cover of the connector and then placed in the wire grooves so that the leads are connected to the connector. The connectors are buckled and fixed within the receiving chamber of the main body. The terminals are pressed into the terminal grooves so that the terminals pierce into the leads and thus the terminals are electrically connected to the leads. Thereby, a receptacle having a structure conveniently in assembly is formed.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
