Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of busbar trunking technology, specifically relating to a safety-protected busbar trunking socket and connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Busbar jacks are interface devices used to connect to junction boxes in a busbar system, allowing power to be branched from the main busbar for flexible power distribution. A busbar is an enclosed metal structure made of copper or aluminum busbars, used to distribute large amounts of power to distributed systems, commonly found in high-rise buildings, industrial plants, and other similar environments. Jacks, as a key component, are typically located on the side walls of the busbar and branch power supply is achieved through junction boxes, facilitating the expansion or adjustment of power and lighting circuits.

[0003] Existing technologies for high-density busbar trunking have limited protection for their connectors, leading to installation errors, unreliable grounding, and poor operational stability, failing to meet factory requirements. Conventional busbar trunking connectors also exhibit poor sealing and low dust and water resistance, impacting their insulation performance. For example, existing patent CN206727591U only provides double sealing strip protection, lacking triple protection, error prevention, and priority grounding designs; CN106300189A focuses on dust collection and cleaning, lacking protective combinations and safe connector design; and CN104242196B does not address the protective design of busbar connectors. Furthermore, existing busbar trunking connectors lack protective measures when connected to connector boxes, posing certain safety hazards. For instance, the interlocking mechanism in existing patent CN108767791A only achieves overall fixation of the connector box and busbar trunking, resulting in low safety and reliability during connector insertion.

[0016] Beneficial Effects: 1. The safety-protected busbar socket of this invention adopts a triple-protection structure, including a cover plate, a waterproof membrane, and rubber gaskets installed on each socket to improve the socket's protective performance. When the busbar socket is not in use, the cover plate closes to the socket base to prevent foreign objects from entering the socket, providing good dustproof performance. The waterproof membrane covers the socket base, covering all sockets to improve waterproof performance and enhance the waterproofness of the busbar socket in different environments such as storage and transportation before use. To ensure that foreign objects do not fall into the socket when it is plugged into the connection box, rubber gaskets are installed at the sockets to prevent foreign objects from falling into the socket during the plugging process, providing good protection.

[0017] 2. Based on the foregoing, the socket of the present invention has five sockets arranged in a staggered anti-misinsertion structure to avoid reverse insertion during connection, thereby improving connection efficiency while ensuring accurate connection. The staggered arrangement also reduces installation space.

[0018] 3. Based on the foregoing, the socket of the present invention has a first insertion channel and a second insertion channel, with the connector interference-fitted to the second insertion channel. The first insertion channel is located above the second insertion channel, and the width of the first insertion channel is greater than the width of the second insertion channel. The connector of the present invention is configured as an integrally formed insertion end and connection end. The insertion end includes an integrally formed top insertion end, middle insertion end, and bottom insertion end, which form a stepped structure to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the insertion end. The insertion end is located in the first insertion channel to achieve a high density distribution of busbar socket connectors, low impedance, and each connector has good heat dissipation space, fast heat dissipation, and simple manufacturing structure.

[0019] 4. Based on the foregoing, the bottom two ends of the second insertion channel of the present invention extend outward to form a connector insertion guide groove to ensure the assembly accuracy and assembly efficiency of the connector. The connector of the present invention includes an upper connecting block and a lower connecting block. The width of the upper connecting block is smaller than the width of the lower connecting block, and the width of the lower connecting block is equal to the width of the top plug-in block. The top of the lower connecting block protrudes upward to form a first plug-in boss with a triangular cross-section. The bottom plug-in block and the lower connecting block form first plug-in grooves on both sides of the upper connecting block. The bottom of the lower connecting block is provided with a second plug-in groove. The two sides of the lower connecting block are recessed inward to form arc-shaped welding grooves. This allows the upper connecting block, the first plug-in grooves on both sides, and the second plug-in groove of the lower connecting block to form a positioning and installation groove for the busbar of the busbar trunking, facilitating quick installation. The width of the upper connecting block is smaller than that of the lower connecting block, so that the connector is limited in the plugging direction by the first plug-in groove. This ensures that when the connector is plugged into the plug box, the connection between the connector and the busbar is stable, avoiding premature wear of the connector due to prolonged plugging and unplugging. Meanwhile, the arc-shaped welding grooves on both sides of the lower connecting block can increase the welding area between the connector and the busbar, improving the welding stability. At the same time, the arc-shaped welding grooves can also reduce welding stress concentration and ensure welding effect.

[0020] 5. Based on the foregoing, one of the five sockets of the socket of the present invention is a PE socket. The connector of the PE socket is higher than the connectors of the other sockets, so that the connector of the PE socket can preferably contact the pins of the socket box when plugged in, so as to ensure preferred grounding and high safety in use.

[0021] 6. Based on the foregoing, the busbar trunking of the present invention includes a housing and busbars. The housing comprises two H-shaped profiles and two U-shaped profiles, employing a sandwich structure that is long and dense, preventing a chimney effect. Its structural dimensions are compact, requiring minimal space during installation. To improve the waterproof performance of the housing, the busbar trunking housing of the present invention has drainage holes at corresponding positions on the H-shaped and U-shaped profiles. This ensures that, regardless of whether the busbar trunking is installed vertically or horizontally, moisture accumulated on the U-shaped and H-shaped profiles can be promptly drained through the drainage holes, thereby improving the waterproof rating of the housing.

[0022] 7. Based on the foregoing, the present invention also provides a busbar trunking plug-in structure, comprising a plug-in box. The plug-in box of the present invention includes a box body, a positioning component, and a plug component. The box body has a plug opening, and the plugs of the plug component extend from the plug opening for plugging into the plug-in interface of the busbar plug. The PE plug in the plug box is higher than the other plugs, so that when the plug is plugged into the connector, the PE plug preferably plugs into the PE connector, ensuring priority grounding and improving plugging safety. Simultaneously, the plug of the present invention includes a plug block, two springs, and two plug plates. The plug plates and springs are symmetrically mounted on the plug block, with the springs located on the outer side of the plug plates. This allows the outer springs to provide additional clamping force to the plug plates, ensuring long-term effective contact stress between the plug plates and the connector's plug-in surface. Furthermore, the inner surfaces of the springs and plug plates are arc-shaped, making the plug plates and connectors in line contact, increasing the pressure on the plug-in surface and ensuring current carrying capacity. In addition, the surface of the pins is silver-plated to form a silver plating layer, which increases conductivity.

[0023] 8. Based on the foregoing, the housing of the present invention is positioned for insertion into the plug-in box via a positioning assembly. The positioning assembly includes a positioning plate and a locking unit. The positioning plate is installed on the outside of the plug-in interface of the plug-in box. Limiting plates are respectively provided on the plate corresponding to the side of the plug-in interface beam on the positioning plate, and the height of the limiting plates is greater than the height of the plug protruding from the outside of the housing. Limiting grooves are provided on the limiting plates, and positioning rods are provided on the busbar grooves to achieve a guiding effect through the limiting plates. When not in use, the limiting plates of the positioning plate protect the plugs, ensuring that the plugs will not be damaged by collision during installation and transportation. When in use, the positioning rods are positioned by the limiting grooves. During insertion, the positioning rods slide into the limiting grooves, so that the plugs of the plug-in box are positioned with the connector of the busbar plug-in, and then accurately inserted, ensuring the stable insertion of the busbar plug-in and the plug-in box after insertion, increasing the stability of the mechanical connection structure. Furthermore, the plug-in box of the present invention achieves busbar plug-in safety through a locking unit, enabling the plug-in box door to form an assembly interlock via the locking unit. That is, when the plug-in box door is closed, the locking unit locks the plug-in box, preventing plugging or unplugging. The door cannot be opened when the door is closed or when the circuit breaker inside the plug-in box is energized, thus improving safety during use. Attached Figure Description

A first adjustment groove 45 is provided in the middle of the main locking rod, and a first adjustment block provided on the front surface of the plug-in box passes through the first adjustment groove, so that both ends of the main locking rod can swing on the front surface of the plug-in box; the rod body of the main locking rod near the first locking hook foot protrudes outward to form a first abutment end 46; when the plug-in box is plugged into the busbar groove, the first abutment end of the main locking rod abuts against the busbar groove to limit the swing of the main locking rod on the surface of the plug-in box; the second locking assembly includes two sets of symmetrically arranged secondary locking rods 47, one end of which is provided with a second locking hook foot 48, the second locking hook foot vertically... The auxiliary locking rod is positioned directly above the busbar groove and is used to insert into the groove of the busbar groove. The second locking assembly slides along the groove of the busbar groove via the second locking hook foot. The other end of the auxiliary locking rod has a second adjustment groove 49, through which a second adjustment block disposed on the rear surface of the plug-in box passes, allowing both ends of the auxiliary locking rod to swing on the rear surface of the plug-in box. The rod body of the auxiliary locking rod near the second locking hook foot protrudes outward to form a second abutment end 50. When the plug-in box is plugged into the busbar groove, the second abutment end of the auxiliary locking rod abuts against the busbar groove to limit the swing of the auxiliary locking rod on the surface of the plug-in box.

[0034] Working Principle: In this embodiment, the safety protection busbar trunking socket and busbar trunking connection structure require initial assembly. The operator opens the cover and removes the waterproof film covering the socket. Then, the plug-in box of the busbar trunking connection structure is mounted on the busbar trunking slot. Specifically, the main locking rod of the first locking component and the auxiliary locking rod of the second locking component are mounted on the busbar trunking slot. Next, the plug-in box is slid along the busbar trunking slot to the busbar trunking interface. When the limiting groove of the limiting plate on the positioning plate of the plug-in box slides to the positioning rod position on the busbar trunking, it indicates that the plug-in port of the plug-in box corresponds to the busbar trunking interface. At this time, the box door can be opened by swinging the main locking rod and auxiliary locking rod to check that the internal circuit breaker is in a connected state. Then, the plug-in box is pushed towards the busbar trunking interface for insertion. As the plug-in box moves upward, the first and second stopping ends of the main and auxiliary locking rods abut against the busbar trough. The plug tabs inside the plug-in box then engage with the connectors in the busbar trough, and the plug tabs, under the elastic action of the outer spring, ensure a secure connection with the connectors. Because the first and second stopping ends abut against the busbar trough, the main and auxiliary locking rods cannot swing, preventing the box door from opening when the circuit breaker is energized.

Various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
