Devices may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or otherwise), and the spatial relative descriptors used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0038] Figures 1A to 1F The detailed structure of bus clamp C1 will be discussed. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1ABus clamp C1 is configured to clamp bus B1 and electrically connect bus B1 to other electrical components (such as switchboards, terminal blocks, etc.), while ensuring a stable and reliable power connection. Bus clamp C1 has a slot S1 defined by the internal structure of the bus clamp C1 body for clamping and securing bus B1. Therefore, a portion of bus B1 is located between the bus clamps C1. In some embodiments, bus B1 may be a metal plate or metal strip with conductive properties, and the material may include conductive materials such as copper.

[0039] In detail, bus clamp C1 and bus B1 each include multiple fixing holes for the fixing component 50 to pass through and lock. Specifically, bus B1 can be moved between the slots S1 of bus clamp C1, and the fixing component 50 can be passed through the fixing holes of bus clamp C1 and bus B1 respectively, so that bus clamp C1 and bus B1 are fixed together.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1B In some embodiments, the fixing assembly 50 may include a screw 52 and a washer 54 and a nut 56 passing through the screw 52, ​​wherein the washer 54 and the nut 56 have a ring-shaped structure. First, the screw 52 passes through the fixing holes of the bus clamp C1 and the bus B1, such that the screw 52 has a portion protruding from the bus clamp C1. Then, the washer 54 and the nut 56 are sequentially inserted into the protruding portion of the screw 52, ​​wherein the nut 56 is secured to the screw 52 by screwing into its threads.

[0041] The fixing component 50 is configured to enhance the normal force between the bus clamp C1 and the bus B1, i.e., the force perpendicular to the contact surface between the bus clamp C1 and the bus B1. In some embodiments, the thickness of the bus B1 is not limited and can be adjusted to accommodate the required thickness of the bus B1 by adjusting the length of the bus clamp C1 and the fixing component 50.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1B In some embodiments, the bus clamp C1 includes a main frame 100 and a conductive terminal structure 200.

[0043] The main frame 100 is configured to provide basic support. The main frame 100 is generally square and box-shaped, and is made of insulating material. In some embodiments, the main frame 100 includes separate first frames 100A and second frames 100B, which are combinable to form the main frame 100 and have substantially the same configuration. The first frames 100A and second frames 100B are separate structures. Each of the first frames 100A and second frames 100B includes a plurality of fixing holes 110 for the fixing assembly 50 to pass through. In some embodiments, the fixing holes 110 are open openings. For example, the fixing holes 110 are recessed from the side ends of the first frames 100A and second frames 100B, forming U-shaped, square, or other shaped recesses. In other embodiments, the fixing holes 110 may be closed openings.

[0044] The inner bottom surfaces of the first frame 100A and the second frame 100B are provided with multiple fixing structures 130 located on the left and right sides. In some embodiments, the fixing structure 130 may be an outwardly protruding snap-fit ​​structure that can cooperate with the fixing components (such as the fixing groove 212 described later) corresponding to the conductive terminal structure 200 to achieve stable installation and removal.

[0045] The merged main frame 100 defines slot S1 for bus B1 to be inserted.

[0046] The first frame 100A and the second frame 100B of the main frame 100 are each provided with a guide surface 140 at the slot S1. Specifically, the guide surfaces 140 are respectively located at the ends of the first frame 100A and the second frame 100B. In some embodiments, the guide surfaces 140 have a chamfered and beveled design facing the insertion direction of the bus B1 to guide the smooth insertion of the bus B1 and reduce scratches or jamming during installation. Specifically, in the cross-sectional view, the guide surfaces 140 have an opening design that gradually widens in the direction of insertion of the bus B1.

[0047] The first frame 100A and the second frame 100B of the main frame 100 are further provided with guide posts 150 on their inner side surfaces. The guide posts 150 facilitate the mounting of the conductive terminal structure 200 into the main frame 100. In some embodiments, the guide posts 150 are protruding rectangular column structures.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1B , Figure 1C , Figure 1D as well as Figure 1E The detailed structure of the conductive terminal structure 200 will be discussed below.

[0049] The conductive terminal structure 200 has conductive properties. In some embodiments, the conductive terminal structure 200 includes a first conductive terminal structure 200A and a second conductive terminal structure 200B, which can be combined to form the conductive terminal structure 200 and have substantially the same configuration.

[0050] The first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B each have a base 210 and a conductive platform 220 extending outward from the base 210.

[0051] A slot S1 is defined between the conductive platforms 220 of the merged conductive terminal structure 200 for the insertion of the bus B1.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1D For easier viewing, Figure 1D Only one of the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B is shown; the following description will focus on the first conductive terminal structure 200A. In some embodiments, the upper surface of the base 210 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A has multiple fixing grooves 212 located on the left and right sides. In some embodiments, the fixing grooves 212 can be inwardly recessed slot structures that can engage with the fixing structure 130 corresponding to the first frame 100A to achieve stable installation and removal.

[0053] In some embodiments, the side surface of the base 210 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A has a fixing hole 214 that extends through the base 210. In some embodiments, the fixing hole 214 may be a cylindrical hole structure. In some embodiments, screws may be used to pass through the fixing hole 214 to secure the conductive terminal structure 200 to other components. In some embodiments, the upper surface of the base 210 also has a fixing structure 215 that communicates with the fixing hole 214.

[0054] The conductive platform 220 extends from the base 210. In some embodiments, the end of the conductive platform 220 has a trapezoidal profile. Specifically, the thickness of the end of the conductive platform 220 has a gradually decreasing profile, which facilitates a fit with the main frame 100.

[0055] The base 210 has a positioning component 232 and a positioning hole 233 on the side opposite to the fixing groove 212 (e.g., Figure 1E (As shown). In some embodiments, the positioning component 232 may be a protruding structure. Specifically, when the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B are combined, the positioning component 232 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A can be inserted into the positioning hole 233 of the second conductive terminal structure 200B, and the positioning component 232 of the second conductive terminal structure 200B can be inserted into the positioning hole 233 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A.

[0056] The base 210 also has a guide groove 234 configured to engage the conductive terminal structure 200 with the main frame 100. In some embodiments, the guide groove 234 may be an elongated recessed structure. When the conductive terminal structure 200 is installed onto the main frame 100, the guide post 150 of the main frame 100 can slide in and couple along the guide groove 234 of the conductive terminal structure 200. This configuration not only has a guiding effect but also helps to fix the conductive terminal structure 200 in the main frame 100.

[0057] The base 210 also has a plurality of positioning posts 236 on one side relative to the conductive platform 220, configured to engage the conductive terminal structure 200 with other electronic devices. In some embodiments, the positioning posts 236 may be cylindrical, square, or other columnar protrusions.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1E The first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B each include a spring sheet structure 250, which is disposed on the corresponding conductive platform 220. The spring sheet structures 250 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B are arranged opposite to each other and together form a socket with compressive elasticity.

[0059] The spring-loaded structure 250 includes a multi-point contact surface with several raised contact nodes, allowing the bus B1 to make simultaneous contact at multiple points after insertion, reducing contact resistance and effectively dispersing the current conduction path. In some embodiments, the spring-loaded structure 250 may include a resilient clamping arm (e.g., a planar crown spring) forming an inwardly resilient clamping area facing the insertion direction of the bus B1. This design applies a predetermined contact pressure to the bus B1 to ensure electrical continuity.

[0060] like Figure 1E As shown, at least one inner surface of the conductive platform 220 has a guide rail 222, configured to guide the sliding and engaging of the spring structure 250. In some embodiments, the guide rail 222 is a recessed structure. For example, the spring structure 250 can be slid along the guide rail 222 of the corresponding conductive platform 220, thereby fixing the spring structure 250 to the conductive platform 220.

[0061] Figure 1E It also includes a cross-sectional view of a spring structure according to a partial embodiment. The spring structure 250 is disposed on the surface of the conductive platform 220 facing the slot S1. In a partial embodiment, the spring structure 250 includes a plurality of contact terminals 252, wherein one of the contact terminals 252 is two intersecting V-shaped structures. This helps to increase the electrical contact area with external terminals (such as bus B1).

[0062] In some embodiments, the spring structure 250 has a positioning component 254 located at the end of the spring structure 250. After the spring structure 250 is inserted into the conductive platform 220, the positioning component 254 can abut against a surface of the conductive platform 220.

[0063] Figure 1F This is a perspective view of a bus clamp according to a partial embodiment, wherein... Figure 1F Figures (a) and (b) show the bus clamp C1 when the main frame 100 and the conductive terminal structure 200 are combined.

[0064] First, the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B can be combined together. As mentioned above, this can be achieved through the positioning component 232 and the positioning hole 233 (e.g., Figure 1E As shown, the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B are snapped together and fixed to form the conductive terminal structure 200.

[0065] Next, the conductive terminal structure 200 is installed into the main frame 100. Specifically, the guide groove 234 of the conductive terminal structure 200 can slide along the guide post 150 of the main frame 100. Then, the fixing groove 212 of the conductive terminal structure 200 can be snapped together and fixed with the fixing structure 130 of the main frame 100 to form the bus clamp C1.

[0066] Then, bus B1 can be inserted into bus clamp C1 along slot S1. The pressing force generated by spring structure 250 can make the contact terminals 252 of spring structure 250 (such as...) Figure 1E (As shown) The spring structure 250 contacts and presses against the bus B1 to maintain the positive force of the spring structure 250 on the bus B1 within a predetermined range, thereby appropriately reducing the contact resistance between the bus B1 and the spring structure 250 without causing excessive frictional wear on the surface due to excessive positive force. In addition, the guide surface 140 of the main frame 100 can guide the smooth insertion of the bus B1 and reduce scratches or jamming during the installation process.

[0067] Finally, the fixing component 50 helps to accurately fix the bus B1 to the bus clamp C1, avoiding misalignment or detachment during installation.

[0068] Figure 1F The left figure is a perspective view of the bus clamp according to a partial embodiment. Figure 1F The right image is Figure 1F The left figure shows a schematic diagram of the bus clamp C1 after it has been horizontally flipped 180 degrees.

[0069] The bus clamp C1 can be attached to other electronic devices. Specifically, the positioning post 236 allows the conductive terminal structure 200 to engage with other electronic devices. Screws can also be used to pass through the mounting hole 214 to secure the conductive terminal structure 200 to other electronic components.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 Figures (a), (b), and (c) are shown in the figures. Specifically, Figure 2 Bus clamp C2 ( Figure 2 Figure (a) is the assembly diagram of bus fixture C2, and Figures (b) and (c) are partially exploded views of it. Figure 1F The bus clamp C1 is similar, so similar components will use the same labels, and related details will not be repeated.

[0071] The bus clamp C2 has a main frame 100 and conductive terminal structure 200 similar to those of the aforementioned bus clamp C1, but the main frame 100 of the bus clamp C2 is a one-piece structure. In other words, the main frame 100 of the bus clamp C2 does not have a separable first frame 100A and second frame 100B as the main frame 100 of the aforementioned bus clamp C1.

[0072] In some embodiments, the bus clamp C2 has two separate accommodating spaces S2 and an adjacent accommodating space S3, each equipped with a first conductive terminal structure 200A and a second conductive terminal structure 200B. In some embodiments, the accommodating spaces S2 and S3 can be separated by a wall 160 of the main frame 100.

[0073] First, the conductive terminal structure 200 with the spring clip structure 250 installed and the main frame 100 can be merged together. Specifically, the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B of the conductive terminal structure 200 can slide along the guide post 150 of the main frame 100, respectively, wherein the wall 160 isolates the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B so that they do not come into contact with each other.

[0074] Then, the fixing groove 212 of the conductive terminal structure 200 can be fixed together with the fixing structure 130 of the main frame 100 to form the bus clamp C2.

[0075] The configuration of the bus clamp C2 makes the main frame 100 a single unit. This design helps to fix the size of the slot S1, which can be used more appropriately to fix the thickness of the bus B1.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe icon shows two bus clamps C1, each used to clamp a corresponding bus B1. Furthermore, the two bus clamps C1 can be electrically connected to each other via a connecting component E1 to form a bus clamp assembly. In this way, current can be transmitted between the two buses B1 via the bus clamps C1 and the connecting component E1.

[0077] In some embodiments, the shape of the connecting component E1 is designed such that the slots of the two bus clamps C1 connected to it face different orientations. For example, in Figure 3A In one embodiment, the slots of the two bus clamps C1 are arranged approximately at 90 degrees, so the two buses B1 are also arranged approximately at 90 degrees.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 3B The connecting component E1 includes a conductive plate 300 and a housing 400 covering the conductive plate 300. In some embodiments, the housing 400 may include a first housing 400A and a second housing 400B, wherein the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B, after assembly, form a space that can accommodate the conductive plate 300.

[0079] The conductive plate 300 has a first connecting portion 300A and a second connecting portion 300B, wherein the first connecting portion 300A and the second connecting portion 300B are connected to each other and are substantially perpendicular. Therefore, the conductive plate 300 has a substantially L-shaped profile. The first connecting portion 300A and the second connecting portion 300B of the conductive plate 300 are disposed to connect to corresponding bus clamps C1. More specifically, the first connecting portion 300A and the second connecting portion 300B of the conductive plate 300 can be connected to the conductive terminal structure 200 of the bus clamp C1, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the conductive plate 300 and the bus clamp C1.

[0080] The first connecting portion 300A of the conductive plate 300 may have multiple positioning holes 302 and multiple fixing holes 306. In some embodiments, the conductive terminal structure 200 of the bus clamp C1 can be fixed to the first connecting portion 300A of the conductive plate 300 by means of the positioning holes 302 and fixing holes 306. For example, the positioning post 236 of the conductive terminal structure 200 (e.g., Figure 1DThe conductive terminal structure 200 and the first connecting portion 300A of the conductive plate 300 are initially fixed by inserting the conductive terminal structure 200 into the positioning hole 302. Next, a fixing component (not shown) can be passed through the fixing hole 306 of the first connecting portion 300A and the fixing hole 214 of the conductive terminal structure 200 to lock the conductive terminal structure 200 and the first connecting portion 300A of the conductive plate 300 together. In some embodiments, the fixing component may include screws and nuts. After the conductive terminal structure 200 is installed onto the first connecting portion 300A of the conductive plate 300, the main frame 100 of the bus clamp C1 can then be installed to cover the conductive terminal structure 200.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 300A may have more positioning holes 302 and fixing holes 306, forming multiple groups of positioning and fixing holes. These groups of positioning and fixing holes may be designed with different arrangements, allowing the slot of the bus clamp C1 to be fixed to the first connecting portion 300A in different directions. Specifically, the groups of positioning and fixing holes can at least provide the bus clamp C1 to be fixed to the first connecting portion 300A in a first direction or a second direction, wherein the first direction is approximately perpendicular to the second direction (i.e., at 90 degrees).

[0082] It should be understood that the second connecting part 300B and the first connecting part 300A have similar structures, and their connection methods with the bus clamp C1 are also the same, so the relevant details will not be repeated.

[0083] As mentioned above, the housing 400 includes a first housing 400A and a second housing 400B. After assembly, the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B together define two connection openings 400O, one of which exposes the connection surface of the first connection portion 300A of the conductive plate 300, and the other connection opening 400O exposes the connection surface of the second connection portion 300B of the conductive plate 300.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B of the outer casing 400 each include a positioning component 402. For example... Figure 3A As shown, after the bus clamp C1 is mounted onto the connector assembly E1, the positioning component 402 of the housing 400 can abut against the bus clamp C1. This configuration helps to position the bus clamp C1 on the connector assembly E1.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B of the outer casing 400 each have multiple heat dissipation holes 404 and mounting holes 406. After the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B are assembled, the mounting holes 406 of the first housing 400A will connect with the mounting holes 406 of the second housing 400B. The first housing 400A and the second housing 400B can be locked together by passing a fixing component (not shown) through the mounting holes 406 of the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B. In some embodiments, the fixing component includes screws and nuts.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 4A and Figure 4B The icon shows two bus clamps C1, each used to clamp a corresponding bus B1. Furthermore, the two bus clamps C1 can be electrically connected to each other via a connecting component E2 to form a bus clamp assembly. The shape of the connecting component E2 is designed so that the slots of the two bus clamps C1 connected to it face different directions. For example, in... Figure 4A In one embodiment, the two bus clamps C1 are located on opposite sides of the connecting component E2, and the slots of the two bus clamps C1 are arranged approximately orthogonally, so the two buses B1 are also arranged approximately orthogonally.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 4B The connecting component E2 includes a conductive plate 300 and a housing 400 covering the conductive plate 300. In some embodiments, the housing 400 may include a first housing 400A and a second housing 400B, wherein the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B, after assembly, form a space that can accommodate the conductive plate 300.

[0088] The conductive plate 300 can be formed by stacking multiple conductive sheets 300P. Stacking multiple conductive sheets 300P increases the thickness of the conductive plate 300 and improves its current carrying capacity.

[0089] The conductive plate 300 has a first connecting portion 300A and a second connecting portion 300B, wherein the first connecting portion 300A and the second connecting portion 300B are respectively located at opposite ends and opposite sides of the conductive plate 300. The first connecting portion 300A and the second connecting portion 300B are respectively configured to connect to corresponding bus clamps C1.

[0090] The first connecting part 300A of the conductive plate 300 of the connecting assembly E2 and Figure 3BThe first connecting portion 300A of the conductive plate 300 of the connecting component E1 has essentially the same configuration, so the relevant details will not be described again. It should be understood that the second connecting portion 300B of the connecting component E2 has a similar structure to the first connecting portion 300A, and its connection method with the bus clamp C1 is also the same, so the relevant details will not be described again.

[0091] In addition, the conductive plate 300 also has a plurality of fixing holes 308, through which the fixing component 50 can pass to lock the plurality of conductive sheets 300P of the conductive plate 300 together.

[0092] Please refer to housing 400. As mentioned above, housing 400 includes a first housing 400A and a second housing 400B. After assembly, the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B together define two connection openings 400O. One connection opening 400O exposes the connection surface of the first connection portion 300A of the conductive plate 300, while the other connection opening 400O exposes the connection surface of the second connection portion 300B of the conductive plate 300.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first housing 400A and the second housing 400B of the outer casing 400 each include a positioning component 402. For example... Figure 4A As shown, after the bus clamp C1 is mounted onto the connector assembly E2, the positioning component 402 of the housing 400 can abut against the bus clamp C1. This configuration helps to position the bus clamp C1 on the connector assembly E2.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 5A and Figure 5B The icon shows two bus clamps, C3 and C4, which are used to clamp the corresponding buses B1. Bus clamps C3 and C4 are electrically connected to each other to form a bus clamp assembly; current is transmitted between the two buses B1 through bus clamps C3 and C4.

[0095] Specifically, Figure 5A Bus clamps C3 and C4 do not have connecting components E1 or E2 as previously discussed for electrical connection. More specifically, bus clamps C3 and C4 are a single integrated structure, meaning they share a single conductive terminal structure 200. Please refer to... Figure 5B The figure shows a conductive terminal structure 200, which is divided into a first conductive terminal structure 200A and a second conductive terminal structure 200B.

[0096] The second conductive terminal structure 200B has a base 210 and two conductive platforms 220, located on opposite sides of the base 210 and extending in opposite directions. The base 210 has a positioning component 232, a positioning hole 233, and a fixing hole 238. The base 210 also has a guide groove 234, configured to engage the conductive terminal structure 200 with the main frame 100. The second conductive terminal structure 200B also includes multiple spring clip structures 250, disposed on corresponding conductive platforms 220. The first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B have the same structure; related details will not be elaborated further.

[0097] First, the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B are combined. Specifically, the positioning component 232 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A can be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 233 of the second conductive terminal structure 200B, and the positioning component 232 of the second conductive terminal structure 200B can be inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 233 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A. This allows the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B to be snapped together and fixed, forming a combined integrated conductive terminal structure 200. Next, the fixing component 50 can be passed through the fixing holes 238 of the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B to lock the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B together.

[0098] Next, the first frame 100A and the second frame 100B of the main frame 100 of the bus clamp C3 can be installed onto the conductive platform 220 and the base 210 corresponding to the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B, respectively. Conversely, the first frame 100A and the second frame 100B of the main frame 100 of the bus clamp C4 can be installed onto the conductive platform 220 and the base 210 corresponding to the first conductive terminal structure 200A and the second conductive terminal structure 200B, respectively. The installation method is similar to that discussed for the bus clamp C1 above, and related details will not be repeated.

[0099] As discussed above, bus clamps C3 and C4 can be considered as sharing a base 210. That is, the base 210 of bus clamp C3 and the base 210 of bus clamp C4 are essentially a single structure. This design helps to reduce the overall size of the structure.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 6A , Figure 6B Figures (a) and (b), and Figure 6CIn some embodiments, the connection component may be a connector (e.g., a bus clamp connector). The diagram shows two bus clamps, C2A and C2B, electrically connected to connector BBC1, respectively. This configuration allows connector BBC1 to transmit current to both buses B1 respectively. Figure 6A The two bus clamps, C2A and C2B, are essentially the same as Figure 2 The bus clamp C2 is used, so its details will not be repeated. In other embodiments, bus clamps C2A and C2B may also be the same as... Figure 1A Bus clamp C1.

[0101] Specifically, connector BBC1 has a slot S10 for insertion and electrical connection to a bus system (e.g., a rack bus system, not shown). Connector BBC1 also has a first conductive strip 2000A and a second conductive strip 2000B adjacent to the first conductive strip 2000A. One end of the first conductive strip 2000A and the second conductive strip 2000B of connector BBC1 can be connected to the bus system. For example, the bus system may have two mating terminals that are inserted into the slot S10 of connector BBC1 and electrically connected to the corresponding conductive terminals, the first conductive strip 2000A and the second conductive strip 2000B. The two mating terminals of the bus system can provide the same or different potentials, such as a first voltage (positive voltage or ground voltage) and a second voltage (positive voltage or ground voltage). On the other hand, the other ends of the first conductive strip 2000A and the second conductive strip 2000B can be electrically connected to bus clamps C2A and C2B, respectively. This configuration allows the current of the bus system to be transmitted to other electronic components through bus clamps C2A and C2B.

[0102] More specifically, the first conductive strip 2000A has a connecting portion 2001, wherein the first conductive terminal structure 200A of the bus clamp C2A can be fixed to the connecting portion 2001. Similarly, the second conductive strip 2000B has a connecting portion 2001, wherein the second conductive terminal structure 200B of the bus clamp C2B can be fixed to the connecting portion 2001.

[0103] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 2001 of the first conductive strip 2000A may have multiple fixing holes 3000, forming multiple fixing hole groups. The fixing hole groups may be designed with different arrangements, such that the fixing holes of the bus clamp C2A (e.g.) Figure 2 The mounting hole 214 shown can be fixed to the first conductive strip 2000A in different directions. For example, in Figure 6AIn one embodiment, the bus clamp C2A is fixed above the first conductive strip 2000A via a set of fixing holes 3000, such that the slot S10 of connector BBC1 and the slot S1 of bus clamp C2A can be perpendicular and substantially orthogonal. In other embodiments, the bus clamp C2A can also be rotated (e.g., 90 degrees) and fixed above the first conductive strip 2000A via another set of fixing holes 3000, such that the slot S10 of connector BBC1 and the slot S1 of bus clamp C2A can be parallel. In other words, the fixing holes 3000 are designed so that the bus clamp C2A can be fixed to the connecting portion 2001 of the first conductive strip 2000A in a first direction or a second direction, wherein the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction (i.e., at 90 degrees).

[0104] The bus clamp C2B and the second conductive strip 2000B of connector BBC1 have the same connection method, and the relevant details will not be repeated. As mentioned above, the bus clamp C2A can be fixed in two directions on the first conductive strip 2000A. Similarly, the bus clamp C2B can be fixed in two directions on the second conductive strip 2000B. Therefore, the bus clamps C2A and C2B can be arranged in 2x2 combinations on connector BBC1. This design helps to provide more flexibility in electrical connection.

[0105] Connector BBC1 has a housing 1000 and conductive strips 2000A and 2000B mounted within the housing 1000. The housing 1000 has two extensions 1100, forming slots S10. On opposite sides of the slots S10, the housing 1000 has two receiving spaces 1000O corresponding to the extensions 1100, through which the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B are inserted into the housing 1000.

[0106] The housing 1000 also has wings 1200 extending to the side of the housing 1000 and located between the extension 1100 and the receiving space 10000. In some embodiments, each wing 1200 has at least one opening 1220 (e.g., Figure 6A (As shown). The housing 1000 can be secured to an outer housing, such as a server housing, via the wing 1200. For example, the surface of the wing 1200 facing the slot S10 can be pressed against the outer housing, and the hole 1220 of the wing 1200 can be aligned with a hole on the outer housing. Then, the wing 1200 of the housing 1000 is locked to the outer housing by fastening components, such as screws or rivets, passing through the hole 1220 of the wing 1200 and the hole on the outer housing.

[0107] In some embodiments, connector BBC1 further includes a grounding plate 1210 mounted on the wing 1200 and the corresponding extension 1100. In some embodiments, the grounding plate 1210 has an L-shaped structure. In some embodiments, the grounding plate 1210 is made of a metallic material.

[0108] Each of the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B has an outer conductive strip 2010 and an inner conductive strip 2020 adjacent to the outer conductive strip 2010, wherein the outer conductive strip 2010 and the inner conductive strip 2020 are separate from each other. Each of the outer conductive strip 2010 and the inner conductive strip 2020 has a plurality of conductive contact terminals 2100. Specifically, when the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B are inserted into the housing 1000, the conductive contact terminals 2100 can be exposed in the slot S10 and can be electrically connected to the mating terminals.

[0109] Each of the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B further includes an intermediate conductive strip 2015 located between the outer conductive strip 2010 and the inner conductive strip 2020. Specifically, the intermediate conductive strip 2015 is located between the end of the outer conductive strip 2010 and the end of the inner conductive strip 2020, and together with the outer conductive strip 2010 and the inner conductive strip 2020, forms a connection portion 2001. On the other hand, there is no intermediate conductive strip 2015 between the front end of the outer conductive strip 2010 and the front end of the inner conductive strip 2020, but there is an air gap 2016.

[0110] Each of the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B also has a positioning piece 2030 located on the outer surface of the outer conductive strip 2010. The positioning piece 2030, the outer conductive strip 2010, the intermediate conductive strip 2015, and the inner conductive strip 2020 may each have a fixing hole and can be fixed by one or more fixing components 2032. In some embodiments, the positioning piece 2030 has a protruding spring tab 2034 extending outward from the surface of the positioning piece 2030 and toward the bus clamp C2A or C2B, and is configured to engage with the housing 1000 when the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B are inserted into the housing 1000.

[0111] Each of the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B also has a guide groove 2036, formed by the outer conductive strip 2010 and the positioning piece 2030.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 6CThe diagram illustrates the insertion of the conductive strip 2000A into the receiving space 1000O of the housing 1000. The inner wall of the housing 1000 may have multiple guide posts 1010. When the conductive strip 2000A is inserted into the housing 1000, the guide posts 1010 can be embedded into the guide groove 2036 between the outer conductive strip 2010 and the positioning piece 2030 of the conductive strip 2000A, thereby guiding the conductive strip 2000A into the housing 1000. Furthermore, multiple stops 1020 are also provided on the inner surface of the housing 1000. When the conductive strip 2000A is inserted into the housing 1000, the spring piece 2034 of the positioning piece 2030 will enter along the stop 1020, and the stop 1020 will press the spring piece 2034 towards the external conductive strip 2010 until the spring piece 2034 passes the stop 1020. The spring piece 2034 will then spring back and abut against the stop 1020, making it difficult for the conductive strip 2000A to fall off the housing 1000. It should be understood that the conductive strip 2000B is inserted into the housing 1000 in the same way as the conductive strip 2000A, so the relevant details will not be described again.

[0113] Figure 7A BBC2 connector with Figure 6A The connector BBC1 is similar to the BBC2 connector, therefore similar components will use the same designation, and related details will not be repeated. Specifically, the connector BBC2 is compared to... Figure 6A The difference between the BBC1 connectors is that the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B each have an extension piece 2050 and a connecting piece 2060 covering the extension piece 2050.

[0114] The extension piece 2050 has a first portion 2052 and a second portion 2054 connecting the first portion 2052. In some embodiments, the first portion 2052 is located between the outer conductive strip 2010 and the inner conductive strip 2020. Specifically, the first portion 2052 is located between the end of the outer conductive strip 2010 and the end of the inner conductive strip 2020.

[0115] On the other hand, the second part 2054 connects the first part 2052, the outer conductive strip 2010, and the end of the inner conductive strip 2020. The second part 2054 may form a connecting portion 2001 and include a plurality of fixing holes 3000. For details regarding the connecting portion 2001 and the fixing holes 3000, please see [link to details]. Figure 6A In some embodiments, the thickness of the second portion 2054 is greater than the thickness of the first portion 2052. In some embodiments, the second portion 2054 has a curved profile that can change the orientation of the connecting portion 2001 and the orientation of the clamp mounted to the connecting portion 2001. Specifically, the second portion 2054 has an L-shaped profile.

[0116] The connector BBC2 also has a connecting piece 2060, which covers a second portion 2054 of the extension piece 2050 and a portion of the outer conductive strip 2010. The connecting piece 2060 has a plurality of fixing holes 2062, wherein some fixing holes 2062 are configured to allow fixing components to pass through and lock the connecting piece 2060, the outer conductive strip 2010, the first portion 2052 of the extension piece 2050, and the inner conductive strip 2020, and the other fixing holes 2062 are configured to allow fixing components to pass through and lock the connecting piece 2060 and the second portion 2054 of the extension piece 2050.

[0117] Each of the conductive strips 2000A and 2000B also has a guide groove 2036, formed by the outer conductive strip 2010 (or extension piece 2050) and the connecting piece 2060.

[0118] Please refer to Figure 7B The diagram shows a schematic of the conductive strip 2000A of connector BBC2 being inserted into the accommodating space 1000O of housing 1000.

[0119] First, the fixing component 50 can be passed through the fixing hole 2062 to lock the connecting piece 2060, the outer conductive strip 2010, the first portion 2052 of the extension piece 2050, and the inner conductive strip 2020, and to lock the connecting piece 2060 and the second portion 2054 of the extension piece 2050. The fixing component 50 may include a screw 52 and a nut 56 passing through the screw 52.

[0120] Next, conductive strips 2000A and 2000B are inserted into housing 1000. The following description uses conductive strip 2000A as an example. The inner wall of housing 1000 may have multiple guide posts 1010. When conductive strip 2000A is inserted into housing 1000, the guide posts 1010 can be embedded into the guide groove 2036 between the extension piece 2050 and the connecting piece 2060 of conductive strip 2000A, thereby guiding conductive strip 2000A into housing 1000.

[0121] On the other hand, the inner surface of the housing 1000 is also provided with a plurality of stops 1020. When the conductive strip 2000A is inserted into the housing 1000, the spring piece 2034 of the positioning piece 2030 will enter along the stop 1020 and the stop 1020 will press the spring piece 2034 toward the external conductive strip 2010 until the spring piece 2034 passes through the stop 1020. The spring piece 2034 will then spring back and abut against the stop 1020, making it difficult for the conductive strip 2000A to fall off the housing 1000.

[0122] On the other hand, the housing 1000 also has a guide groove 1030. When the conductive strip 2000A is inserted into the housing 1000, the screw 52 can enter along the guide groove 1030 to fix the conductive strip 2000A.

[0123] Figure 8 This is a perspective view of a connector assembly according to a partial embodiment. Figure 8 BBC3 connector with Figure 7A The connector is similar to BBC2, so similar components will use the same designation, and related details will not be repeated.

[0124] Specifically, compared to Figure 7A BBC2 connector, Figure 8 The conductive strips 2000A and 2000B of the BBC3 connector, respectively, do not have a curved profile in their respective extension pieces 2050. Furthermore, Figure 8 The conductive strips 2000A and 2000B of the BBC3 connector also have extension tabs 2051, which contact extension tab 2050. Bus clamps C2A and C2B are fixed above extension tabs 2051. Specifically, extension tabs 2050 and 2051 have multiple fixing holes 3000, and bus clamps C2A and C2B can be fixed to extension tabs 2050 and 2051 respectively via fixing components through fixing holes 3000. Similar to what was mentioned above, each pair of extension tabs 2050 and 2051 can have multiple sets of fixing holes 3000, which allows bus clamps C2A and C2B to be fixed to conductive strips 2000A and 2000B in different orientations. Figure 8 The bus clamps C2A and C2B are basically the same as Figure 2 The bus clamp C2 is used, so its details will not be repeated. In other embodiments, bus clamps C2A and C2B may also be the same as... Figure 1A Bus clamp C1.

[0125] Figure 9 BBC4 connector with Figure 8 The connector is similar to BBC3, therefore similar components will use the same designation, and related details will not be repeated. Specifically, Figure 9 The connector BBC4 compared to Figure 8 The difference between the BBC3 connector and the 2000A and 2000B connectors lies in the conductive strips. Figure 9 The conductive strips 2000A and 2000B of the connector BBC4 also have extension tabs 2056, which contact extension tab 2051 and have a curved profile. For example, extension tab 2056 has an L-shaped profile. In some embodiments, extension tab 2056 has a first portion 2057 and a second portion 2058, wherein the first portion 2057 contacts extension tab 2051, and the second portion 2058 is perpendicular to the first portion 2057 and located at one end of the first portion 2057 near the wing 1200 of the housing 1000.

[0126] Bus clamps C1A and C1B are respectively fixed above the second portion 2058 of the extension piece 2056. Specifically, the second portion 2058 of the extension piece 2056 has multiple fixing holes 3000, and bus clamps C1A and C1B can be fixed to the second portion 2058 of the extension piece 2056 via fixing holes 3000 using fixing components (e.g., screws). Similar to what was mentioned earlier, the second portion 2058 of the extension piece 2056 may have multiple sets of fixing holes 3000, which allows bus clamps C1A and C1B to be fixed to conductive strips 2000A and 2000B in different orientations. Figure 9 The bus clamps C1A and C1B are basically the same as Figure 1A The bus clamp C1 is used, so its details will not be repeated. In other embodiments, bus clamps C1A and C1B may also be the same as... Figure 2 Bus clamp C2.

[0127] In some embodiments, the curved profile formed by the extension piece 2056 may be adjacent to both sides of the bus clamps C1A and C1B, respectively. For example, a first portion 2057 of the extension piece 2056 is adjacent to one side of the bus clamp C1A, while a second portion 2058 is adjacent to the other side of the bus clamp C1A. Therefore, the connector BBC4 and the bus clamps C1A and C2A can have a smaller volume after assembly. The connector BBC4 can secure the bus in the slots S1 of the bus clamps C1A and C1B by means of the fixing component 50. As mentioned above, the fixing component 50 is configured to enhance the normal force between the bus clamps C1A and C2A and the bus. Therefore, the thickness of the bus secured in the bus clamps C1A and C1B is less restricted, and a larger current can be transmitted.

[0128] The foregoing summary outlines several features of the embodiments, enabling those skilled in the art to better understand the structure of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be readily used as a basis for designing or modifying other processes and structures to achieve the same purpose and / or attain the same advantages of the embodiments described herein. Those skilled in the art will also recognize that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and that various changes, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
