Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable joints, in particular to a copper joint designed with an adjustable angle. Background Art
[0002] A copper connector with an adjustable angle design is mainly used in the field of electrical and mechanical connections, and is particularly suitable for scenarios that require high conductivity and flexible installation, such as power systems, industrial automation equipment, and refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. Its innovative design improves installation efficiency and service life, and adapts to diverse application requirements. An existing conical self-locking cable copper connector (publication number: CN207588013U) has the following disadvantages and needs further improvement.
[0003] 1. Traditional equipment adopts a fixed-angle design, which brings significant limitations in many installation scenarios. During the installation process, the fixed-angle joints need to accurately align the connection parts, and the requirements for the installation position are extremely high. If the installation space is small or the shape is complex, multiple adjustments are often required, and even the installation layout needs to be redesigned, which increases engineering costs and installation time. In addition, the fixed-angle design is not conducive to the flexibility of the system. This type of joint is particularly inconvenient in situations where the layout needs to be changed frequently or the equipment needs to be moved. Copper joints that lack angle adjustment functions are difficult to adapt to complex and changeable field environments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a copper joint with an adjustable angle design.
[0004] 2. The copper surface of traditional equipment without special treatment is prone to generate an oxide layer when exposed to air and moisture, which increases resistance and reduces conductivity efficiency. In addition, in industrial environments, connectors are exposed to various chemicals that accelerate the corrosion process and further damage the conductivity and structural integrity of the connectors. For systems that require long-term stable current transmission, this performance degradation will affect the reliability and safety of the entire system. Therefore, a copper connector with an integrated conductive coating design is urgently needed.
[0005] 3. Traditional equipment requires tools for tightening and loosening, which increases operation time and complexity. Welding connections require professional equipment and skills. Once welded, they cannot be disassembled and new joints need to be cut and welded again, which consumes a lot of time and human resources. In an emergency, this inefficient connection method delays critical maintenance work and affects the normal operation of the system. In addition, frequent mechanical operations and heat treatments will cause wear and fatigue to the joints, further reducing their service life and reliability. Therefore, a copper joint with a magnetic suction joint mechanism is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a copper joint designed with an adjustable angle, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an interface alignment pin is installed on one side of the main body, a detachable joint is installed on one side of the main body, a tube body is installed on one side of the detachable joint, support ribs are installed on both sides of the tube body, a bearing is installed on one side of the tube body, a rotating nut is installed under the bearing, a thread is installed under the rotating nut, a magnetic suction interface is installed on one side of the main body, and a conductive coating is installed inside the main body.
[0008] Preferably, the exterior of the main body adopts a rounded corner design.
[0009] Preferably, the detachable joint can rotate 360°.
[0010] Preferably, the bearing can control the rotation of the main body and lock it.
[0011] Preferably, the thread adopts a spiral array design.

These improvements effectively solve the limitations of traditional fixed-angle designs, making the device particularly suitable for occasions where frequent layout changes or equipment movements are required, greatly reducing installation time and costs.
[0015] 2. The design of the integrated conductive coating of the utility model improves the conductivity and durability of the device. The main body and the tube are treated with a conductive coating, which can effectively prevent oxidation and corrosion problems and ensure long-term stable conductivity. The conductive coating not only increases the corrosion resistance of the copper joint, but also reduces the surface resistance and improves the current transmission efficiency. The conductive coating can also protect the joint from damage when it comes into contact with various chemicals, extending the service life of the equipment. Combined with the high-quality main body and support rib design, this improvement enables the equipment to show higher reliability and safety in industrial environments. The frequent maintenance and replacement problems caused by oxidation and corrosion in traditional equipment have been effectively solved through this improvement, reducing system downtime and maintenance costs, and ensuring the continuity and stability of power and signal transmission.
[0016] 3. The utility model adopts a magnetic interface and related components, and the device shows convenience and efficiency in connection and disassembly. The magnetic interface design allows the connector to quickly achieve automatic alignment and adsorption without the need for additional tools, simplifying the operation process. In an emergency, the design of the magnetic interface allows for quick disassembly and reconnection, avoiding the delays and complications caused by traditional threaded connections and welding methods. The combination of the rotating nut and the detachable connector makes the connection not only firm but also easy to adjust and replace. The design of the support ribs and bearings ensures the stability and durability of the connection parts, avoiding wear and fatigue on the equipment caused by frequent mechanical operations. In addition, the use of interface alignment pins ensures precise alignment of each connection, further improving operational efficiency and reliability. This efficient connection and disassembly method greatly improves the maintenance efficiency and operational convenience of the equipment, especially in industrial and power systems that require rapid response and frequent maintenance, showing significant advantages.

In the device, the main body not only supports other components, but also provides the main current conduction path. The design of the main body needs to take into account the stability of the structure and thermal conductivity to effectively dissipate heat and maintain the reliability of electrical connections. The shape and size of the main body are customized according to the specific application scenario to adapt to different installation spaces and connection requirements.
[0028] 2. Interface alignment pins: Interface alignment pins are used to ensure that components can be accurately aligned when adjusting angles or connections. Alignment pins are manufactured using high-precision processing technology to ensure the accuracy of their size and shape. Alignment pins are inserted into corresponding positioning holes to ensure that the joints will not be offset or misaligned when rotating or adjusting angles, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the connection. The material of the alignment pin is generally selected from wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant metals to extend its service life.
[0029] 3. Detachable joints: Detachable joints are designed to achieve quick disassembly and reconnection of equipment, and are often made of threaded or snap-on structures. Threaded joints are connected by rotating and tightening, while snap-on joints are completed by a simple snap-on operation. The key to detachable joints is their ease of operation and stability of connection, and they are suitable for occasions that require frequent disassembly and maintenance. The joint is made of copper material to ensure that it is not easily damaged during repeated operations.
[0030] 4. Tube body: The tube body is used to contain cables or pipes, providing protection and guiding functions. The design of the tube body needs to consider the matching of the inner diameter and outer diameter to adapt to the required cable or pipe size. The tube body material is selected from high temperature and corrosion resistant metals or alloys to ensure its long-term stability in harsh environments. The inside of the tube body undergoes special treatments, such as coating, to further improve its durability and performance.
[0031] 5. Support ribs: Support ribs are used to strengthen the main structure and provide additional mechanical support and stability. The design of the support ribs needs to be optimized according to the stress conditions of the equipment to ensure that they are not deformed or damaged when under load. The support ribs are integrally formed with the main body or fixed by welding, and the material selection is consistent with the main body to ensure the overall mechanical properties and conductivity. The existence of support ribs greatly improves the reliability and life of the equipment in complex application scenarios.
[0032] 6. Bearings: Bearings are used to provide smooth rotation and movement between components, reducing friction and wear.

The magnetic interface is widely used in occasions that require quick replacement and frequent operation, which improves the operating efficiency of the equipment.
[0035] 9. Rotating nut: Rotating nut is used to adjust and fix the angle or position of the component, and can be precisely adjusted by rotation. The nut is made of high-strength metal and has precision threads inside to ensure smooth and reliable operation. The design of the rotating nut needs to take into account both torque and operating feel. Common forms include manual nuts and nuts with rotating handles. Its installation position is between the adjustable component and the main body, which is convenient for angle adjustment and fixation.
[0036] 10. Conductive coating: Conductive coating covers the surface of copper joints to improve their conductivity and corrosion resistance. The coating material is selected from metals with excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The conductive coating not only reduces the contact resistance of the joint, but also provides an additional layer of protection, extending the service life of the joint. The thickness and uniformity of the coating must be strictly controlled to ensure optimal electrical performance.
[0037] The following is the specific technical logic implementation method of the innovative point of this utility model:
[0038] The technical logic of the adjustable angle design is realized by the combination of precision mechanical structures. First of all, the main body is made of high-strength metal materials as the core bearing structure to ensure its stability when subjected to forces in different directions. High-precision bearings are embedded inside the main body, allowing the joint to rotate freely within a certain range. The rotating nut achieves fine-tuning and locking of the angle by combining with the main body and the bearing. During specific operation, the rotating nut drives the bearing to rotate, so that the joint can be accurately positioned at the required angle, and the angle is fixed by the locking mechanism to prevent movement. The interface alignment pin plays a key role in the adjustment process, ensuring that the components can be accurately aligned during rotation to avoid deviation and misalignment. The support ribs provide additional mechanical support to enhance the overall stability of the structure, especially when adjusted to extreme angles, the support ribs ensure that the equipment does not deform or become unstable. The design of the detachable joint and thread makes the connection and disassembly process easier, no longer requiring complex tools or high-intensity operations, and is suitable for various application scenarios that require frequent adjustment and reconfiguration, significantly reducing installation and maintenance costs.
[0039] Technical logic implementation of integrated conductive coating: The integrated conductive coating design is achieved by applying a high-performance conductive coating on the surface of the main body and the tube body. First, the conductive material is nickel, which has excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Using processes such as electroplating, electrospraying or chemical plating, a uniform and dense coating is formed on the surface of the main body and the tube body. The specific process steps include surface cleaning, pretreatment, coating application and post-treatment to ensure the adhesion and uniformity of the coating. The conductive coating not only significantly improves the conductivity of the copper joint, but also effectively prevents surface oxidation and corrosion, and extends the service life of the equipment. Combined with the high-quality main body and support rib design, the conductive coating exhibits extremely high reliability and durability in harsh industrial environments. The application of conductive coating reduces the need for frequent maintenance due to oxidation and corrosion, ensures the continuity and stability of power and signal transmission, greatly reduces the system's downtime and maintenance costs, and improves the overall reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0040] Technical logic implementation of magnetic interface: The magnetic interface design achieves fast and efficient connection and disassembly through the combination of high-strength magnets and precision mechanical structures. First of all, the magnetic interface is made of high-strength NdFeB magnetic material to ensure that it has sufficient adsorption force and durability. The magnet is embedded in the joint structure through precision machining and fits closely with the main body and other connecting parts. When in use, the magnetic interface can automatically align and adsorb without additional tools, simplifying the operation process. The combination of the rotating nut and the magnetic interface makes the connection both firm and easy to adjust and replace. The detachable joint further enhances the convenience of connection and disassembly, especially in occasions where frequent operation is required. The design of the support ribs and bearings ensures the stability and durability of the magnetic interface at the connection part, avoiding the wear and fatigue of the equipment caused by frequent mechanical operations. The use of the interface alignment pin ensures that the components can be accurately aligned each time the connection is made, which improves the operation efficiency and reliability.
