Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of busbars, in particular to a cast busbar joint. Background Art

[0002] When casting the joints of traditional cast busbars, the busbar's outgoing conductors and connectors are cast as a whole. This solution has the following disadvantages:

[0003] 1) Bubbles and air gaps

[0004] Bubbles or air gaps appear inside or on the interface of the casting material (usually due to air mixed into the material, poor exhaust due to excessively fast casting speed, or excessively high viscosity of the material that prevents gas from being discharged), resulting in decreased insulation performance and mechanical strength;

[0005] 2) Incomplete filling and voids

[0006] The complex structural areas or narrow channels inside the connector are not completely filled (due to insufficient pouring pressure, poor material fluidity or premature curing caused by too low mold temperature), forming voids or delamination, affecting the conductive stability and mechanical sealing;

[0007] 3) Shrinkage stress and cracking

[0008] After curing, the material may have cracks at the interface or in the body due to excessive shrinkage or mismatch with the shell's thermal expansion coefficient (such as epoxy resin and metal shell), resulting in reduced mechanical strength and leakage risk.

[0009] 4) Poor bonding and delamination

[0010] The casting body and the connector are not firmly bonded (due to surface contamination), resulting in delamination, increased contact resistance or sealing failure;

[0011] 5) Insufficient insulation performance

[0012] Partial discharge or withstand voltage test failure (due to material impurities, uneven insulation thickness or electric field concentration), causing leakage or even breakdown;

[0013] 6) Pollution and material degradation

[0014] Impurities, discoloration or bubble accumulation on the surface of the casting (due to environmental dust / moisture intrusion, material moisture absorption or uneven mixing) reduce reliability and life;

[0015] 7) Process fluctuations and batch differences

[0016] Unstable performance between batches (due to manual error, mold wear, or material batch differences), resulting in a decrease in yield. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cast busbar joint to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0018] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0019] The present invention provides a cast busbar joint, comprising a cast busbar connector, a cast busbar, a sealing device and a joint casting body; the cast busbar connector is connected between two sections of the cast busbar, the sealing device is sealed on the outside of the connection between the cast busbar connector and the cast busbar, and the joint casting body is cast on the outside of the sealing device.

[0020] Preferably, the sealing device includes an insulating clip, an upper sealing cover and a lower sealing cover, and the upper sealing cover and the lower sealing cover are respectively sealed and connected to the upper and lower parts of the connection between the cast busbar connector and the cast busbar and are connected through the insulating clip.

[0021] Preferably, there are two groups of insulating clips, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the cast busbar connector, and each group of insulating clips includes multiple vertically arranged insulating strips, two of which are arranged on the front and rear sides of the outgoing conductor of the cast busbar, and the other insulating strips are inserted between two adjacent outgoing conductors; the upper sealing cover and the lower sealing cover have the same structure, including a connector slot in the middle and sealing strip sleeves on both sides, the connector slot can be inserted into the slot of the cast busbar connector, and the sealing strip sleeve can be sleeved on the end of each insulating strip of the insulating clip.

[0022] Preferably, the connector slot and the sealing strip ferrule are connected to the cover bodies of the upper sealing cover and the lower sealing cover.

[0023] Preferably, the joint casting body is a rectangular casting structure cast outside the sealing device.

[0024] Preferably, the outgoing conductors of the two sections of the cast busbar are respectively inserted into the slots of the cast busbar connector from both sides of the cast busbar connector, and the portions of the outgoing conductors not inserted into the cast busbar connector are interspersed with the insulating strips.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following technical effects:

[0026] The cast busbar joint of the present invention uses a sealing device as a first layer of protection, preventing direct contact between the castable material and the busbar conductors and connectors. This prevents risks such as bubbles or air gaps, incomplete filling of complex structural areas or narrow channels, cracks during the material curing process, mechanical strength loss, and leakage. This addresses the issue of leakage and breakdown caused by partial discharge of the castable material. After the first layer of protection is completed, a second layer of protection is formed by casting the entire joint using a mold. This second layer of protection fully ensures the safety and stability of the joint.

[0027] Furthermore, the sealing device includes an insulating clip, an upper sealing cover and a lower sealing cover, which can be assembled by plugging in without tools, thereby improving efficiency, eliminating the need for additional connectors, and reducing material and production costs. It has the advantage of low cost, and the detachable assembly method facilitates product maintenance and component replacement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
