Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable installation, and more specifically to a cylindrical bus duct. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of modern industrial automation equipment, electrical equipment in all walks of life is also constantly increasing and improving. As a traditional way of transmitting electricity, the existing electrical equipment and safety requirements can no longer meet the actual requirements. When transmitting large currents, multiple cables are used in parallel for transmission, which is inconvenient for on-site installation and construction, and the volume is large after installation. Using dense bus duct as a power transmission equipment, the dense bus duct shell is composed of a combination of side panels and cover plates, which is not waterproof. The conductors are coated with insulating materials, tightly combined together, and assembled in the shell. If one of the conductors heats up, it will affect the heating of other conductors. The heating of the conductor directly affects the decrease of its current carrying capacity, thereby making the conductor hotter. Excessive heating of the conductor will affect the accelerated aging of the insulating material, and safety accidents will occur over time.

[0003] Another type of waterproof bus duct is cast with epoxy polyester. The finished product is bulky and inconvenient to install. The conductor of the epoxy polyester bus duct is solidified in the polyester. When a large current passes through it, the conductor will heat up and cannot dissipate heat in time, which affects the current carrying capacity of the conductor. The conductor material will expand after heating. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, the epoxy polyester may crack over time, resulting in waterproofing and leakage. In order to meet the waterproof requirements, the connector of the epoxy polyester bus duct is also cast with epoxy polyester. If the bus bar is found to have expansion problems, it will take a long time to replace, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] In summary, the existing power transmission equipment has shortcomings in terms of large current transmission, waterproof performance, installation convenience and long-term stable operation. In view of this, we propose a cylindrical bus duct. Summary of the invention

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] The outer side of the bus duct housing 1 is square, with a fixed slot 3 on the upper side. The fixed slot 3 can be equipped with a fixing nut. The bus duct housing 1 can be directly fixed on the bracket with a nut, which makes it more convenient to install the busbar in any working condition. The shell is stretched and formed in one time, and can be used in any environment as long as it is anti-corrosive treated.

[0022] In the present application, heat dissipation holes 201 are provided on the heat dissipation fins 2 located in the middle and at the edges. The arrangement of the heat dissipation holes 201 enables air to flow through the heat dissipation holes 201, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0023] Specific as Figure 3 As shown, the first conductive component 4 includes a center N line 401 and three conductors 402, and the three conductors 402 are respectively an A-phase conductor, a B-phase conductor, and a C-phase conductor; the center N line 401 coincides with the central axis of the bus duct shell 1, and the center N line 401 is installed and fixed with an insulating fixing block 5. At the same time, the insulating fixing block 5 also supports the A-phase conductor, the B-phase conductor, and the C-phase conductor to ensure that the conductor 4 and the shell 1 are more tightened and stable.

[0024] The three conductors 402 are all arc-shaped structures, which can better fit closely with the bus duct housing 1, so that the heat generated by the current passing through the bus can be dissipated in time through the bus duct housing 1, thereby increasing the current carrying capacity of the bus. The arc-shaped conductor 402 is not easy to deform during operation, and its stability is higher. Among them, the three conductors 402 are installed independently, and the three conductors 402 are arranged in a ring shape with equal spacing on the inner wall of the bus duct housing 1. The insulating fixing block 5 is located on the inner side of the conductor 402. An insulating spacer 6 is arranged between two adjacent conductors 402. The insulating spacer 6 is made of polyethylene high-temperature resistant tetrafluoroethylene material. The three conductors 402 are separated by the insulating spacer 6, so that the electrical gap between adjacent conductors 402 is large, the creepage distance is larger, and the safe distance for electricity use is greatly increased. An insulating layer 7 is arranged on the surface of the conductor 402, and the conductor 402 is tightly combined with the bus duct housing 1 through the insulating layer 7.

[0025] In the present application, the insulating layer 7 is composed of a thermally conductive silicone sheet and DuPont insulating paper, the thermally conductive silicone sheet is adhered to the inner wall of the busbar housing 1, and the DuPont insulating paper is wrapped on the conductor 402; the center is reinforced with multiple insulating fixing blocks 5 to prevent the first conductive component 4 from loosening easily in the housing. The center N line 401 conductor is installed in the middle of the fixing block.

[0026] In the present application, a second conductive component 9 is provided in the connector housing 8, and the second conductive component 9 has the same structure as the first conductive component 4. The installation method of the second conductive component 9 in the connector housing 8 is also the same as the installation and fixing method of the first conductive component 4 in the bus duct housing 1. The second conductive component 9 can be connected to the first conductive component 4 through a fastening nut block 10. Fastening nut blocks 10 are provided at both ends of the second conductive component 9, and the fastening nut blocks 10 are integrated with the conductor, which is convenient for installation, and the nut will not fall off, and the installation is more reliable and safe.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, the connector housing 8 includes an upper housing 801 and a lower housing 802 that cooperate with each other. The upper housing 801 and the lower housing 802 are detachably connected and can be replaced quickly and conveniently. Connecting parts 803 are provided on both sides of the upper housing 801 and the lower housing 802. A groove is provided on the connecting part 803, and a sealing strip 11 is provided in the groove. The setting of the sealing strip 11 ensures the sealing when the upper housing 801 and the lower housing 802 are connected. A plurality of connecting holes 804 are also provided on the connecting part 803, and a through hole corresponding to the connecting hole 804 is also provided on the sealing strip 11 to facilitate the passage of the locking screw 14.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, in the present application, a connection tube 101 is provided at the end of the bus duct housing 1, a sealing groove is provided on the outer wall of the connection tube 101, an O-ring 12 is provided in the sealing groove, and the O-ring 12 can be sealed with the connector housing 8, and the sealing of the bus duct housing 1 and the connector housing 8 during connection and installation is achieved by the setting of the O-ring 12. The O-ring 12 and the sealing strip 11 are both formed of silicone and are precisely processed to closely match the bus duct and the connector housing 8, so that it can be ensured to be waterproof, explosion-proof, and safer after installation.

[0029] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, in the present application, an annular groove 102 is provided at the end of the connecting tube 101, and an annular slider 103 is slidably connected in the annular groove 102. The annular slider 103 can slide axially in the annular groove 102. A spring 104 is provided in the annular groove 102. The spring 104 is connected to one end of the annular slider 103. The spring 104 can provide a certain pulling force for the annular slider 103.

[0030] A convex ring 105 is connected to the outer side of the annular slider 103. A protrusion 805 is provided on the inner wall of both ends of the upper shell 801 and the lower shell 802. The outer diameter of the convex ring 105 is larger than the inner diameter of the protrusion 805. The setting of the convex ring 105 limits the axial position of the bus duct housing 1 and the connector housing 8 when they are connected. Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the protruding ring 105 is tightly fitted to the protrusion 805 by the tension of the spring 104 .

[0031] In the present application, a plurality of limit blocks 106 are provided near the outer end of the annular groove 102, and a plurality of limit grooves 107 are provided on the outer wall of the annular slider 103. The limit blocks 106 are slidably matched with the limit grooves 107. The cooperation between the limit grooves 107 and the limit blocks 106 prevents the annular slider 103 from sliding out of the annular groove 102, thereby limiting the maximum displacement of the annular slider 103.

[0032] In a possible embodiment, a limiting screw 108 is provided through the protrusion 805, and the limiting screw 108 is threadedly connected to the protrusion 805. By rotating the limiting screw 108 so that the end of the limiting screw 108 abuts against the protrusion 805, the axial position of the bus duct housing 1 and the connector housing 8 when connected is further limited, thereby preventing the bus duct housing 1 and the connector housing 8 from detaching from each other and improving the installation stability.

[0033] Embodiment 2: See also Figure 7 , 8 , combined with the basis of embodiment 1, the difference is that: it also includes a fixing nut assembly 15, and the fixing nut assembly 15 is used to realize the arrangement and fixed installation between multiple bus ducts. The fixing nut assembly 15 includes a screw rod 16, and a fixing body 17 is arranged at the end of the screw rod 16. The fixing body 17 is plugged and matched with the fixing card slot 3, and the fixing body 17 can slide along the fixing card slot 3. An adjusting nut 18 is threadedly connected to one end of the screw rod 16, and a limiting plate 19 is arranged between two adjacent adjusting nuts 18. The two ends of the limiting plate 19 are rotatably connected to the limiting ring 20, and the cross-section of the limiting ring 20 is a T-shaped structure; a limiting cylinder 21 is connected to the adjusting nut 18, wherein the limiting cylinder 21 is connected to the limiting cylinder 21. The cylinder 21 can be threadedly matched with the screw 16, and the limiting cylinder 21 can also be gap-matched with the screw 16. The limiting ring 20 is sleeved on the limiting cylinder 21. The distance between the two nuts 18 is limited and fixed by the setting of the limiting ring 20. The nuts 18 can rotate independently. By rotating the nut 18, the end of the limiting cylinder 21 is squeezed on the outer wall of the fixed slot 3 to achieve the connection and fixation between the two adjacent bus duct shells 1. Finally, multiple connected bus duct shells 1 can be fixed on the bracket. There is no need to connect and fix each bus duct shell 1 to the bracket separately. Only a group of bus duct shells 1 on the edge need to be connected to the bracket, which saves installation steps.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments.
