BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rapid wiring devices, more
particularly to a rapid wiring device capable of wiring at multiple arbitrary positions
on a power supply line, which is suitable for parallel installation of many garden
lights, track lights or other electrical appliances.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
[0002] Regarding the combined connection of two wires, the conventional common way is to
peel off the insulating adhesive layer at the joint ends of the two wires, and then
entangle the exposed metal wires to form a connection, and then use insulating tape
to wrap the connection to complete the combined connection of the two wires. For this
reason, the inventor once proposed a technology of a watertight junction box,
US081 01 874B2, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. However, the previous
US08101874B2 watertight junction box has the following problems:
- (1) When the wires are put into the junction box, there is no more precise and stable
fixing technology for the wires, so when the locking action of the lock cover is used
to push the wires to be pierced by the copper thorns, it is prone to problems such
as left and right flipping and offset of the wire, resulting in the inability of the
copper thorn to penetrate correctly. Moreover, after the wire is turned left and right,
if the lock cover is forcibly locked, the copper thorn may be skewed and deformed.
- (2) The waterproof structure adopts jelly glue to be pre-buried under the upper floating
plate. The lock cover must be completely locked to make the jelly glue overflow to
produce a sealing effect. If the locking stroke is insufficient, the jelly glue may
not produce the expected effect.
- (3) The threaded part 11 of the above-mentioned patent is divided into two pieces,
and its thread does not completely surround the threaded part 11, causing the thread
of the lock cover to misalign with the threaded part 11 during the locking process,
and the lock cover is easily crooked, causing inconvenience in use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is
therefore the main object of the present invention to provide a rapid wiring device,
which includes a limiting groove on the upper part of the box body of a junction box,
two position-limiting portions located on both sides of the limiting groove, and two
conductors connected with a first electric wire. The tip portions of the two conductors
protrude from the bottom of the limiting groove. The first electric wire is used to
connect to track lights, garden lights or other electrical appliances. In addition,
implement a wire box consisting of a lower wire box part and an upper wire box part.
There is a wire groove recessed on the lower wire box part, which is used to make
a second electric wire (such as the main power supply line) be placed in the wire
groove. The upper wire box part covers the lower wire box part, and covers the wire
groove and second electric wire, so that the wire box can sandwich the second electric
wire and put them together in the limiting groove of the junction box. Through the
positioning function of the wire box, the second electric wire is accurately aligned
with the tip portions of the two conductors. The wire box is set in the limiting groove
of the junction box, and then combined with a tightening cover on the upper part of
the junction box. The tightening cover has a push portion that can exert force on
the wire box. Through the design of tightening cover screw locking or fastening on
the upper part of the junction box, the push portion pushes the wire box to move towards
the bottom of the limiting groove, so that the tip portions of the two conductors
pass through the wire box and penetrate into the insulating layer of the second electric
wire precisely until the tip portions of the two conductors touch the core wire of
the second electric wire to complete the quick wiring.
[0004] It is another object of the present invention to provide a rapid wiring device, which
is provided with a waterproof film inside or below the wire box, used to make the
tip portions of the two conductors pass through the waterproof film, and then make
the waterproof film close to the tip portions and the outer surface of the second
electric wire to achieve fast wiring and also have the function of preventing water
from penetrating into the second electric wire.
[0005] It is still another object of the present invention to provide a rapid wiring device,
which can accurately locate the wire box and second electric wire through other structural
designs of the wire box, junction box and tightening cover, and the wiring operation
mode is fast and convenient, and the tightening cover can be precisely locked with
the junction box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0007] A rapid wiring device of the present invention is a rapid wiring device used for
wiring at multiple arbitrary positions on a power supply line, so as to connect multiple
garden lights, track lights or other electrical appliances in parallel on the power
supply line. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the rapid wiring device comprises a junction
box 100, a wire box 40 and a tightening cover 50.
[0008] The junction box 100 comprises a box body 10, two conductors 20 and a first electric
wire 30. The box body 10 is a box body or other structure made of insulating material,
its appearance and shape are not limited, mainly a limiting groove 11 is implemented
on its upper part, and two position-limiting portion 12 are located on both sides
of the limiting groove 11. The limiting groove 11 is recessed from the upper end of
the box body 10 to the lower end, and communicates with both sides or both ends of
the box body 10, so a position-limiting portion 12 is formed on each of both sides
of the limiting groove 11. The two conductors 20 are copper sheets or other metal
sheets, which are respectively arranged in the box body 10. Each conductor 20 has
a tip portion 21 protruding from the bottom surface of the limiting groove 11, and
the tip portion 21 extends into the limiting groove 11 for piercing into a second
electric wire 60 to form a conductive connection. One end of the first electric wire
30 is respectively connected to the two conductors 20, and the other end can be connected
to a quick connector 31.
[0009] The wire box 40 is a small box made of insulating material, which comprises a lower
wire box part 41 and an upper wire box part 42 that can be covered together. The upper
part of the lower wire box part 41 is recessed with a wire groove 43, the wire groove
43 extends to both ends of the lower wire box part 41, and its width is the same as
or slightly smaller than that of the wire, so that when the user installs the rapid
wiring device of the present invention on a second electric wire 60 (such as the main
power supply line), first place the selected position of the second electric wire
60 in the wire groove 43 for positioning (as shown in FIG. 4). The upper wire box
part 42 is covered on the lower wire box part 41 by snap-fitting and other structures,
and is used to cover the wire groove 43 and the second electric wire 60, forming a
state where the lower wire box part 41 and the upper wire box part 42 sandwich the
second electric wire 60 (as shown in FIG. 2). Then put the wire box 40 sandwiching
the second electric wire 60 into the limiting groove 11 of the junction box 100, and
then use the tightening cover 50 described below to pressurize. Similarly, the upper
wire box part 42 can also be provided with a wire groove 43 (as shown in FIG. 8 and
FIG. 10), and the second electric wire 60 can be fixed together by the lower wire
box part 41 and the wire groove 43 of the upper wire box part 42.
[0010] The tightening cover 50 can be implemented in various forms, and it is mainly used
to provide users with DIY operation, which can push the above-mentioned wire box 40
to sink into the bottom surface of the limiting groove 11 of the junction box 100,
so that the tip portions 21 of the two conductors 20 can be inserted into the second
electric wire 60.
[0011] The tightening cover 50 is detachably combined on the upper part of the junction
box 100, and is characterized in that a push portion 51 for applying a thrust to the
wire box 40 is implemented. The push portion 51 can push the wire box 40 sandwiching
the second electric wire 60 to move towards the bottom surface of the limiting groove
11, and during the movement, the tip portions 21 of the two conductors 20 will pass
through the wire box 40, and then penetrate the insulating layer 61 of the second
electric wire 60 until they touch the core wire 62 of the second electric wire (as
shown in FIG. 5). This provides the user with a quick connection between the first
electric wire 30 and the second electric wire 60 through the two conductors 20.
[0012] Referring to FIG. 3, the wire box 40 can implement a waterproof film 70. The waterproof
film 70 is arranged on the bottom surface of the wire groove 43 of the lower wire
box part 41, or arranged under the lower wire box part 41 (as shown in FIG. 7), for
making the tip portions 21 of the two conductors 20 pass through the waterproof film
70, so that the waterproof film 70 is tightly attached to the periphery of the tip
portions 21 and the outer surface of the second electric wire 60. More specifically,
the lower wire box part 41 is provided with a first perforation 411 connecting the
wire groove 43 and the lower wire box part 41. The material of the waterproof film
70 can be silicone, rubber or jelly glue, and one or both sides of the waterproof
film 70 have a bump 71 corresponding to the first perforation. The bump 71 is provided
with a second perforation 72 connected to the other side of the waterproof film 70.
The waterproof film 70 is set in the lower wire box part 41 so that the bump 71 can
be embedded in the first perforation 411. Thereby, when the above-mentioned tightening
cover 50 pushes the wire box 40 to sink, the tip portions 21 of the above-mentioned
two conductors 20 can pass through the second perforation 72 of the waterproof film
70, and then penetrate into the insulating layer 61 of the second electric wire 60,
thus achieving the dual functions of quick wiring and waterproofing.
[0013] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in order to ensure that the wire
box 40 can accurately align the second electric wire 60 with the tip portion 21 of
each conductor 20, and prevent the wire box 40 from flipping or shifting its position
when the tightening cover 50 pushes the wire box 40, in the present invention, a first
guide portion 13 is integrally formed on the inner side walls of the two position-limiting
portions 12 of the box body 10, and a second guide portion 44 is implemented on both
sides of the lower wire box part 41 and the upper wire box part 42 of the wire box
40. When the wire box 40 is inserted into the limiting groove 11 through the opening,
the first guide portion 13 of the box body 10 is positioned on the second guide portion
44 on both sides of the wire box 40.
[0014] Referring again to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in one embodiment, the above-mentioned
first guide portion 13 comprises a plurality of first guide strips 131 protruding
from the inner side walls of the two position-limiting portions 12 into the limiting
groove 11, and the second guide portion 44 comprises a plurality of second guide strips
441 and guide grooves 442 protruding from both sides of the lower wire box part 41
and the upper wire box part 42. The first guide strips 131 extend into the guide grooves
442 to guide the movement of the wire box 40, and prevent the wire box 40 from flipping
or shifting when moving. Referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in another embodiment, the
above-mentioned first guide portion 13 comprises concave arc surfaces 132 formed on
the inner side walls of the two position-limiting portions 12, and the second guide
portion 44 of the wire box 40 comprises semicircular bumps 443 protruding from both
sides of the lower wire box part 41 and the upper wire box part 42. When the wire
box 40 is inserted into the limiting groove 11 through the opening of the limiting
groove 11, the semicircular bumps 443 on both sides fit the concave arc surfaces 132,
so that the same function and effect can be achieved.
[0015] Referring again to FIG. 3, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, one embodiment of the combination of
the lower wire box part 41 and the upper wire box part 42 of the wire box 40 of the
present invention comprises that they are fastened together through a buckle structure.
The buckle structure comprises at least one first fastening portion 45 on both sides
of the lower wire box part 41, and one embodiment of the first fastening portion 45
can be a fastening groove 451; and the both sides of the upper wire box part 42 are
respectively provided with at least one second fastening portion 46, and the second
fastening portion 46 can be a fastening elastic piece 461. When the user covers the
upper wire box part 42 on the lower wire box part 41 to clamp the second electric
wire 60, the fastening elastic piece 461 of the second fastening portion 46 is fastened
to the fastening groove 451 of the first fastening portion 45 to prevent the lower
wire box part 41 from separating from the upper wire box part 42, and maintain the
role of firmly clamping the second electric wire 60. In addition, referring to FIG.
10 and FIG. 11, another embodiment of the combination of the lower wire box part 41
and the upper wire box part 42 of the wire box 40 comprises: one side of the lower
wire box part 41 and the upper wire box part 42 are connected together through an
integral molding structure or a pivot structure, so that the lower wire box part 41
and the upper wire box part 42 can be flipped open and closed. The lower wire box
part 41 and the other side of the upper wire box part 42 are fastened together through
the above-mentioned buckle structure, that is, only the other side implements the
above-mentioned structure of the first fastening portion 45 and the second fastening
portion 46.
[0016] Referring again to FIG. 3, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the bottom surface of the wire groove
43 of the wire box 40 of the present invention can be further implemented with a first
convex strip 47, and the lower surface of the upper wire box part 42 has a second
convex strip 48. The first convex strip 47 and the second convex strip 48 can be used
to clamp the central recesses on the upper and lower sides of the second electric
wire 60, so that the second electric wire 60 can be positioned in the wire groove
43 more precisely.
[0017] A kind of rapid wiring device of the present invention, according to the different
embodiments of the tightening cover 50, specifically, the following rapid wiring devices
can be subdivided, which are described as follows:
[Screw locking type rapid wiring device]
[0018] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, it is a screw locking type rapid wiring device of
the present invention, wherein the tightening cover 50 is a rotating cover 50a that
can be twisted manually. The lower end of the rotating cover 50a has an internally
threaded hole 53. The above-mentioned push portion 51 is implemented in the center
of the internally threaded hole 53 and constituted by a push post, so that the internally
threaded hole 53 of the rotating cover 50a can be locked to the external threads 121
of the two position-limiting portions 12 of the box body 10. In this way, the user
manually locks the rotating cover 50a, so that the push portion 51 pushes the above-mentioned
wire box 40 (as shown in FIG. 5) to move toward the bottom in the limiting groove
11, so that the tip portions 21 of the two conductors 20 pierce the insulating layer
61 of the second electric wire 60.
[0019] In the screw locking type rapid wiring device embodiment, the limiting groove 11
is between the two position-limiting portions 12 of the box body 10, so the external
threads 121 of the two position-limiting portions 12 are not a completely circled
spiral. In this way, when the user rotates the rotating cover 50a manually, the internal
thread of the internally threaded hole 53 cannot be correctly matched with the external
threads 121 of the two position-limiting portions 12, which causes the rotating cover
50a to be skewed and crooked when locked in. In order to overcome the above-mentioned
problem of easy crookedness during locking, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 or FIG.
11, a positioning column 49 can be implemented on the upper wire box part 42 of the
wire box 40 of the present invention, and on the push portion 51 of the above-mentioned
rotating cover 50a is concavely provided with a positioning hole 52, The positioning
column 49 is encased by the positioning hole 52 of the rotating cover 50a. When the
user rotates the rotating cover 50a manually, the push portion 51 is pushed to the
top of the upper wire box part 42 or the positioning column 49, so that the wire box
40 has the function of guiding and locking the rotating cover 50a on the box body
10.
[Rotary fastening type rapid wiring device]
[0020] Referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, it is a rotary fastening type rapid wiring device
of the present invention, wherein the tightening cover 50 is also a rotating cover
50b that can be manually twisted. The difference from the rotating cover 50a described
above is that in this embodiment, a non-threaded first fastening portion 122 is respectively
implemented on the inner surface or the outer surface of each position-limiting portion
12 of the junction box 100. The first fastening portion 122 can be an L-shaped groove
recessed into each position-limiting portion 12. The circumferential surface of the
rotating cover 50b is provided with a second fastening portion 54, and the second
fastening portion 54 is a post or bump. When the user combines the rotating cover
50b with the two position-limiting portions 12, the second fastening portion 54 and
the first fastening portion 122 can be fastened together by inserting and rotating
the rotating cover 50b to make the push portion 51 of the rotating cover 50b push
the wire box 40 with a rotating action, so that the tip portions 21 of the above-mentioned
conductors 20 passe through the wire box 40 and then penetrate into the insulating
layer 61 of the second electric wire 60. Wherein, the top surface of the rotating
cover 50b can protrude a force application convex portion 55, so that the user can
manually rotate the rotating cover 50b.
[Clamshell type rapid wiring device]
[0021] Referring to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, it is an example of a clamshell type rapid wiring
device of the present invention, which implements the above-mentioned tightening cover
50 into a flip cover 50c. The center below the flip cover 50c forms a push portion
51, and one side of the flip cover 50c is pivotally connected to one side of the box
body 10 of the junction box 100 through a pivot structure. The other side of the flip
cover 50c can be fastened to the other side of the box body 10, and the fastening
structure is the same as the above wire box 40. Thus, when the user puts the wire
box 40 into the limiting groove 11 on the box body 10, and then closes the flip cover
50c to cover the wire box 40, the pressure of closing and pressing down the flip cover
50c is utilized, so that the push portion 51 pushes the wire box 40, so that the tip
portions 21 of the above-mentioned conductors 20 pass through the wire box 40 and
then penetrate into the insulating layer 61 of the second electric wire 60.
[0022] Referring to FIG.16 and FIG. 17, it is another example of a clamshell type rapid
wiring device of the present invention. The flip cover 50c comprises a screw hole
56 and a screw post 57. The screw hole 56 communicates with the upper and lower sides
of the center of the flip cover 50c, the screw post 57 is locked into the screw hole
56, and the end of the screw post 57 constitutes the push portion 51. The user puts
the above-mentioned wire box 40 into the limiting groove 11 on the box body 10, and
then closes the flip cover 50c to cover the wire box 40, and then locks the screw
post 57 with a tool or by hand, so that the push portion 51 of the screw post 57 can
push the wire box 40, and then the tip portions 21 of the above-mentioned conductors
20 pass through the wire box 40 and then penetrate into the insulating layer 61 of
second electric wire 60.
[0023] Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been described in detail for
purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without
departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is
