[0026] The beneficial effects are: the parallel arrangement of the circuit connection arm and the monitoring connection arm facilitates the connection of wires.

[0067] The features and performance of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments.
[0068] Embodiment 1 of the busbar connector of the present invention:
[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the busbar connector 10 includes a connector housing 11, in which power terminals 12, signal terminals 15, and monitoring components 17 are inserted. A grounding terminal 16 is fixed on the connector housing 11. The grounding terminal 16 has an inverted T-shaped fixing piece, and the connector housing 11 has an inverted T-shaped fixing groove. The fixing piece is snapped into the fixing groove to fix the grounding terminal 16 to the connector housing 11.
[0070] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the monitoring component 17 includes an insulating plate 19 with three positioning protrusions 27 to ensure the positional accuracy of the insulating plate 19 after it is inserted into the connector housing 11. The insulating plate 19 has six through holes 20 arranged in two rows of three holes each. The insulating plate 19 also has circuit terminals and monitoring terminals, with six monitoring terminals arranged side-by-side at intervals along the insertion direction perpendicular to the insulating plate 19. Two monitoring terminals form a group.
[0071] In this embodiment, the monitoring terminal includes a monitoring arm 22 and a bent section 21. Two monitoring terminals in the same group have their bent sections 21 positioned at the end of the monitoring arm 22; the other monitoring terminal has its bent section 21 positioned at the folded-back end of the monitoring arm 22, such that the two bent sections 21 in the same group are spaced apart in the insertion direction of the insulating plate 19. The bent sections 21 are arranged in two rows, with three bent sections 21 in each row. Each bent section 21 corresponds one-to-one with a through hole 20 and passes through the corresponding through hole 20.
[0072] like Figure 6 As shown, the middle part of the bent section 21 is a pressing part 29 for pressing and engaging with the busbar frame 14, and the end of the bent section 21 is a contact part 30 for contacting the circuit terminal. When the pressing part 29 is pressed by the busbar frame 14, the contact part 30 contacts the circuit terminal.
[0073] In this embodiment, the circuit terminal includes a circuit plate 24 and a circuit wiring arm 23. The through hole 20 and all monitoring terminals are located on the same side of the circuit plate 24. When the pressing part 29 is pressed by the busbar frame 14, the contact part 30 contacts the circuit plate 24.
[0074] In this embodiment, the loop connection arm 23 and the monitoring connection arm 22 are arranged side by side, and the loop plate 24 is separately connected to the loop connection arm 23. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the circuit plate 24 is provided with spring arms 25, and two spring arms 25 are arranged at intervals along the insertion direction of the insulating plate 19. The circuit connection arm 23 is elastically connected to the circuit plate 24 through the spring arms 25. Since the circuit plate 24 and the circuit connection arm 23 are connected separately, it is not only convenient to process both, but also can effectively improve the material utilization rate and processing accuracy during the processing.
[0075] In this embodiment, the loop arm 23 and all monitoring terminals are injection molded within the insulating plate 19. The insulating plate 19 has a mounting groove on the side facing the loop plate 24, and the loop plate 24 has snap-fit flanges 26 around its perimeter. The bottom of the mounting groove has snap-fit slots 31 around its perimeter. The loop plate 24 is fixed within the mounting groove of the insulating plate 19 by the engagement of the snap-fit flanges 26 and the snap-fit slots 31. The bottom of the mounting groove also has a clearance groove 32 for avoiding the spring arm 25, and the portion of the loop arm 23 that contacts the spring arm 25 is located within the clearance groove 32.
[0076] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, both the long pin 39 and the short pin 18 include a first stop arm 33 and a second stop arm 34. Two second stop arms 34 are arranged parallel to each other and are perpendicular to the first stop arm 33. Both sides of the first stop arm 33 are provided with locking protrusions 35 and ribs 36. The long pin 39 and the short pin 18 have essentially the same structure, differing only in the length of the second stop arm 34. The short pin 18 constitutes the first pin, and the long pin 39 constitutes the second pin.
[0077] In this embodiment, both the long pin 39 and the short pin 18 are secured within the connector housing 11 by locking protrusions 35 to prevent them from coming out. The raised ribs ensure effective fixation of the pins to the connector housing.
[0078] In this embodiment, the power terminals and monitoring components are fixed inside the connector housing 11 by long pins 39, and the signal terminals and monitoring components are fixed inside the connector housing 11 by short pins 18. That is, the monitoring components are fixed by both long pins 39 and short pins 18 to ensure stability. Specifically, as shown... Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the insulating plate 19 is provided with first stop grooves 28 on both sides in the width direction, and the connector housing 11 is provided with insertion holes 43 on both sides in the width direction of the insulating plate 19. After the long pin 39 and the short pin 18 are inserted into the insertion holes 43, the first stop arms 33 of the two pins respectively stop and cooperate with the two first stop grooves 28 to fix the monitoring component in the connector housing 11.
[0079] In this embodiment, two sets of signal terminals 15 and power terminals 12 are provided. Signal terminals 15 and power terminals 12 in the same set are arranged along the width direction of the insulating plate 19, and the width of the power terminals 12 is greater than the width of the signal terminals 15. Each signal terminal 15 is provided with a second stop groove 40, and each power terminal 12 is provided with a third stop groove 41 on both sides of the insulating plate 19 in the width direction. A stop flange 37 is provided within the third stop groove 41. Each second stop arm 34 of the short pin 18 engages with the second stop groove 40 of the corresponding signal terminal 15 to fix the two signal terminals 15 inside the connector housing 11. The stop mating surface 44 inside the connector housing 11 engages with the stop surface 42 on the power terminal 12 to prevent further insertion of the power terminal 12. Each second stop arm 34 of the long pin 39 engages with the two stop flanges 37 of the corresponding power terminal 12 to prevent the power terminal 12 from retracting, thereby fixing the two power terminals 12 inside the connector housing 11.
[0080] In this embodiment, the connector housing 11 is provided with a support hole 45 for supporting the overhanging end of the second stop arm 34 of the long pin 39, so that the second stop arm 34 of the second pin 39 is not easy to bend and deform, and the power terminal 12 is not easy to deflect when subjected to tensile force.
[0081] like Figure 14 As shown, a busbar 13 is provided inside the busbar frame 14, and multiple sets of plug-in positions are provided on the busbar frame 14. For example, the first set has four clearance holes 38, the second set has five clearance holes 38, the third set has three clearance holes 38, and the fourth set has four clearance holes 38. The arrangement of the four clearance holes 38 in the first set and the fourth set is different.
[0082] Taking the second group as an example, when busbar connector 10 is inserted into this position, power terminal 12 contacts busbar 13 to achieve electrical connection; as Figures 12 to 17 As shown, since there are five clearance holes 38 in the second group, the bending section 21 corresponding to the five clearance holes 38 will not be squeezed. Therefore, only the top pressing part 29 of the bending section 21 in the upper right corner will be squeezed, so that the contact part 30 of the bending section 21 contacts the circuit board 24, thereby realizing the conduction of the monitoring terminal and transmitting the conduction signal to the system end.
[0083] Similarly, the first group has two monitoring terminals that are active, the third group has three active monitoring terminals, and the fourth group has two active monitoring terminals. However, the active positions of the two monitoring terminals in the first and fourth groups are different. Therefore, different combinations of signal on / off states can be achieved based on the number and position of the active monitoring terminals, thereby enabling the identification of server node locations and the number of servers installed. This is beneficial for equipment operation and maintenance, and reduces the waste of manpower and resources.
[0084] In this embodiment, six monitoring terminals are provided, which can form 2 6 A combination of on / off signals is used to generate so many position signals.
[0085] Embodiment 2 of the busbar connector of the present invention:
[0086] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 1, the circuit board 24 and the circuit wiring arm 23 are elastically connected by a spring arm 25. In this embodiment, as... Figure 18 As shown, the circuit board 24 and the circuit terminal arm 23 are integrally formed, which ensures a reliable connection between the circuit board and the circuit terminal arm. In this case, the circuit board is injection molded onto the insulating board. In other embodiments, the circuit board and the circuit terminal arm can be welded together or connected with an interference fit.
[0087] Embodiment 3 of the busbar connector of the present invention:
[0088] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 1, the loop terminal includes a loop plate and loop wiring arms. In this embodiment, the loop terminal includes loop arms and loop wiring arms, with three loop arms connected to the loop wiring arms. In other embodiments, the loop terminal only includes a loop plate, and the loop plate is provided with wiring portions.
[0089] Embodiment 4 of the busbar connector of the present invention:
[0090] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 1, two monitoring terminals form a group, and the bent sections of the two monitoring terminals in the same group are arranged at intervals in the insertion direction of the insulating plate, i.e., there are two rows of monitoring terminals. In this embodiment, all monitoring terminals are the same, and only one row of monitoring terminals is provided. In other embodiments, three monitoring terminals can be set as a group, and the bent sections of the three monitoring terminals in the same group are arranged at intervals in the insertion direction of the insulating plate, i.e., there are three rows of monitoring terminals.
[0091] Embodiment 5 of the busbar connector of the present invention:
[0092] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in Embodiment 1, there are six perforations, and the perforations and curved sections are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In this embodiment, there is only one perforation, and six curved sections are provided within one perforation.
