[0003] However, when the size of the mating piece does not match the busbar, the mating piece is prone to be not firmly inserted or cannot be connected with the busbar.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to provide a busbar structure and a conductive device to solve the problems in the prior art to some extent. SUMMARY

[0039] Figure 1 The overall structure schematic diagram of the busbar structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure; Figure 2 The local schematic diagram of the busbar structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure.

[0040] As Figure 1 In combination Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the application provides a busbar structure, which comprises a shell 1, a guide member 2 and a busbar member 3; the shell 1 is formed with a first accommodating portion 101, one side of the first accommodating portion 101 is formed with a first open portion 102, the guide member 2 and the busbar member 3 both enter the first accommodating portion 101 through the first open portion 102; the busbar member 3 is in sliding connection with the guide member 2, the guide member 2 comprises a first guide and a second guide, the first guide and the second guide are respectively arranged at two ends of the busbar member 3, and the first guide and the second guide are connected with the shell 1.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the busbar structure provided by the application has the following advantages:

[0042] The busbar structure provided by the application can make the busbar member 3 slide relative to the first guide and the second guide through the first guide and the second guide arranged on both sides of the busbar member 3 and the sliding connection between the busbar member 3 and the first guide and the second guide.

[0043] Since the first guide and the second guide are both connected with the shell 1, the busbar member 3 can also slide relative to the shell 1.

[0044] Since the depth of the busbar member 3 is fixed, when the size of the butt joint piece is slightly larger than the fixed insertion depth of the busbar member 3, the busbar member 3 can produce a certain degree of displacement, thereby protecting the part of the butt joint piece that fails to be inserted into the busbar member 3, making the overall connection more stable, and also avoiding the problem that the insertion part of the butt joint piece and the busbar member 3 is exposed to the external environment.

[0045] It should be noted here that the end of the guide member 2 located in the first accommodating portion 101 of the shell 1 protrudes from the busbar member 3, so that when the butt joint piece is inserted into the busbar, it can play a buffering role, thereby preventing the butt joint piece from colliding with the busbar member 3 during the insertion process, thereby preventing damage to the busbar member 3.

[0046] Figure 3 The structure diagram of the busbar member 3 in the busbar structure provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in the figure; Figure 4 The structure diagram of the guide member 2 in the busbar structure provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in the figure.

[0047] As Figure 3 In combination Figure 4As shown, the first guide member and the second guide member are formed with a first matching part 201 on one side of the busbar member 3, and the busbar member 3 is formed with a second matching part 3011 at both ends corresponding to the position of the first matching part 201; the first matching part 201 is inserted with the second matching part 3011, and the size of the first matching part 201 is larger than the size of the second matching part 3011, so that the second matching part 3011 can slide in the first matching part 201.

[0048] In the present application, the first matching part 201 is a sliding groove, and the second matching part 3011 is a sliding convex part, and the size of the sliding groove is larger than the size of the sliding convex part, so that the busbar member 3 can slide relative to the guide member 2.

[0049] When the size of the butt joint part is smaller than the insertion depth of the busbar member 3 or matches the insertion depth of the busbar member 3, the busbar member 3 is located at the first position, and no sliding occurs, and the first position is the position of the busbar member 3 close to the first open part 102 of the shell 1. When the size of the butt joint part is larger than the insertion depth of the busbar member 3, the busbar member 3 slides relative to the guide member 2 to the second position, as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the second position is the deepest position of the busbar member 3 relative to the guide member 2 that can slide into the first containing part 101.

[0050] Preferably, between the guide member 2 and the busbar member 3 in the present application, and along the sliding direction, an elastic member can be provided, when the butt joint part is inserted into the busbar member 3, the busbar member 3 moves relative to the guide member 2, so that the elastic member is compressed, when the butt joint part is pulled out of the busbar member 3, the elastic member rebounds, pushing the busbar member 3 to the initial position.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-4 One end of the guide member 2 is formed with a connecting part 202, and the busbar member 3 is formed with a avoiding part 3012 corresponding to the position of the connecting part 202.

[0052] The busbar structure in the present application is connected with the insulating shell 4 through the fastener 5, and the connecting part 202 formed by the guide member 2, and the connecting hole is formed on the connecting part 202 corresponding to the position of the through hole 401, which can make the fastener 5 connected with the guide member 2, so that the busbar structure can be stably connected with the insulating shell 4.

[0053] And the connecting part 202 and the avoiding part 3012 can make the busbar member 3 and the guide member 2 form a rectangular structure in the horizontal plane, so that the overall structure is more regular, and the installation is more stable.

[0054] Further, as shown in Figures 1-4As shown, the busbar member 3 comprises a busbar body 301 and a reed 302; the busbar body 301 is formed with a second accommodating portion 3013, and the reed 302 is arranged in the second accommodating portion 3013; one side of the second accommodating portion 3013 is formed with a second open portion 3014, and the second open portion 3014 is consistent with the direction of the first open portion 102.

[0055] The consistent direction of the second open portion 3014 and the first open portion 102 can make the mating piece smoothly insert the reed 302, and since the reed 302 has good elasticity, the reed 302 is arranged in the second accommodating portion 3013, and after the mating piece is inserted, the reed 302 can be deformed to make the mating piece and the reed 302 have an interference fit, thereby realizing the power connection function of the connector.

[0056] Further, as shown, Figures 1-4 the first guide and the second guide are both in U-shaped structures, and the opening ends of the first guide and the second guide are consistent with the direction of the second open portion 3014; the opening ends of the first guide and the second guide are formed with first guide inclined portions 203, and the position of the busbar body 301 corresponding to the second open portion 3014 is formed with a second guide inclined portion 3015.

[0057] Preferably, the two ends of the busbar member 3 in the application are respectively provided with the first guide and the second guide, so that the busbar member 3 can stably slide.

[0058] And by forming the first guide inclined portions 203 at the opening ends of the first guide and the second guide, the busbar member 3 can enter the first accommodating portion 101 under the action of the first guide inclined portions 203, and the position of the second open portion 3014 of the busbar member 3 is formed with the second guide inclined portion 3015, which can make the mating piece smoothly insert the busbar member 3 and can play a guiding role to a certain extent during the insertion process.

[0059] In addition, as shown, Figure 5 the application further provides a conductive device comprising the above busbar structure and an insulating shell 4, and the number of busbar structures is two, and the two busbar structures are arranged in the insulating shell 4.

[0060] By adopting the busbar structure provided by the application, and further arranging two busbar structures in the insulating shell 4, the number of mating pieces can be increased, and the two busbar structures are arranged in the insulating shell 4, so that the two busbar structures do not affect each other, thereby improving the safety of the whole device.

[0061] As shown, Figure 5 the insulating shell 4 is formed with an accommodating slot, and the shell 1 of the two busbar structures is formed with an insertion portion, the insertion portion is inserted with the accommodating slot, so that the busbar structure is connected with the insulating shell 4.

[0062] The plug-in portion formed by the busbar structure can be stably plugged into the insulating shell 4, thereby making the conductive device provided in this application safer and more stable in use, and easier to install.

[0063] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the fastener 5 and the guide member 2 in the conductive device provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 5 Combination Figure 6 As shown, the insulating housing 4 is provided with a fastener 5. One end of the fastener 5 passes through the insulating housing 4 and the housing 1 and is connected to the guide member 2 so that the busbar structure is connected to the insulating housing 4.

[0065] In this application, the fastener 5 is a fastening bolt. The threaded end of the fastening bolt passes through the insulating shell 4 and the housing 1 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the connecting hole on the connecting part 202, thereby connecting the busbar component 3 to the housing 1 through the guide member 2.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 Combination Figure 6 As shown, the insulating shell 4 has a through hole 401. One end of the fastener 5 is inserted into the through hole 401. When one end of the fastener 5 is connected to the guide member 2, the other end of the fastener 5 is located in the through hole 401.

[0067] Since most of the fasteners 5 are made of conductive materials, when the fasteners 5 provided in this application are screwed into the through hole 401 and the busbar structure is connected to the housing 1, the screwing end of the fastener 5 can be located inside the through hole 401, which can, to a certain extent, prevent the operator from accidentally touching the fastener 5 and causing the risk of electric shock.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 Combination Figure 6 As shown, the perforation 401 is filled with potting block 6 to seal the fastener 5 within the perforation 401.

[0069] More preferably, in this application, after the fastener 5 is screwed into the through hole 401, the through hole 401 is sealed by the potting block 6, and the potting block 6 is on the same horizontal plane as the outer wall surface of the insulating shell 4. The potting block 6 can protect the fastener 5 on the one hand, and improve the electrical performance of the overall device on the other hand.

[0070] It should be added here that when the fastener 5 in this application is screwed into the through hole 401, insulating material is poured into the through hole 401 to form the potting block 6 in this application, which can make the potting block 6 fit better with the insulating shell 4 and achieve reliable electrical performance under vibration environment.

[0071] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
