In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0038] In order to enable circuit breakers of different models or circuit breakers of different spacing to be installed on the vertical busbar, to achieve standardized processing of the vertical busbar, and to improve the assembly efficiency of the circuit breaker in the power distribution cabinet, this embodiment provides a vertical busbar system, as follows: Figures 1 to 7 The specific contents of this embodiment are described in detail.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the vertical busbar system includes an intermediate adapter assembly 200 and three-phase vertical busbars 100 extending along the second direction X and arranged side by side in the first direction Y. Each phase vertical busbar 100 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 101 spaced apart along the second direction X. One end of the intermediate adapter assembly 200 is connected to the mounting hole 101 through a first fastener, and the other end of the intermediate adapter assembly 200 is used to be connected to the pile head of the circuit breaker 300.

[0040] In short, in the vertical busbar system provided by this embodiment, the vertical busbar 100 extends along the second direction X, the three-phase vertical busbars 100 are arranged side by side in the first direction Y, and a plurality of mounting holes 101 arranged at intervals along the second direction X are arranged on each phase vertical busbar 100, and the pile head of the circuit breaker 300 is connected to the mounting hole 101 on the vertical busbar 100 through the intermediate adapter assembly 200. On the one hand, the pile heads of circuit breakers 300 of different models can be connected to the vertical busbar by using the intermediate adapter assembly, so that the vertical busbar 100 does not need to be drilled as required. On the other hand, since there are multiple mounting holes 101, circuit breakers 300 with different spacing installation requirements can be assembled on the vertical busbar 100, without the need to drill holes again on the vertical busbar 100. Therefore, by adopting the vertical busbar system provided by the utility model, circuit breakers 300 of different models or circuit breakers 300 of different spacings can be installed on the vertical busbar 100, thereby realizing standardized processing of the vertical busbar 100 and improving the assembly efficiency of the circuit breaker 300 in the distribution cabinet.

[0041] Exemplarily, the first fastener may be, but is not limited to, a bolt or a screw, etc., and no further limitation is given herein.

[0042] Optionally, the mounting hole 101 is a square hole, and a square nut is provided in the square hole. The first fastener can pass through one end of the intermediate adapter assembly 200 and be threadedly connected to the square nut.

During the installation process, the square nuts can be restricted from rotating with the first fastener, thereby improving the convenience of personnel operation. The threaded connection method can also ensure the stability of the connection. The modular square hole design on the vertical bus 100 can meet the installation of various current level combinations and meet various current application environments.

The setting of the polygonal protrusion 12 also makes it easier for tools such as wrenches to be stuck on the first conductive connector 1, avoiding slipping when screwing the first conductive connector 1.

[0045] Preferably, as attached Figure 5 As shown, the end surface of the circular protrusion 11 at the first end of the first conductive connector 1 is provided with a second internal threaded hole 111 inwardly.

The circular protrusion 11 of the first conductive connector 1 can be connected to the vertical busbar or fixed to the pile head of the circuit breaker 300 by screws.

[0046] Optionally, in the application scenario of the three-phase busbar, in the present embodiment, the first connecting busbar 2 is Z-shaped or linear. In some application scenarios, when the vertical busbar 100 is a three-phase vertical busbar, the first connecting busbar 2 is provided with three first connecting busbars respectively matched with the three-phase vertical busbars, and a circuit breaker 300 requires three first conductive connectors 1, and the three first conductive connectors 1 include two shorter first conductive connectors 1 and one longer first conductive connector 1, wherein the longer first conductive connector 1 is threadedly connected to the mounting hole 101 on the corresponding vertical busbar 100 through the linear first connecting busbar 2, and the two shorter first conductive connectors 1 are respectively threadedly connected to the mounting hole 101 on the corresponding vertical busbar 100 through the Z-shaped first connecting busbar 2.

[0047] Specifically, the outer wall surface of the first conductive connector 1 is circumferentially provided with a first insulating protective layer 13. Since the first conductive connector 1 has a conductive property, by wrapping the first insulating protective layer 13 on the middle section of the first conductive connector 1, the use safety is improved and the 25mm electrical clearance and 50mm creepage distance specified by the UL standard are guaranteed.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the intermediate transfer assembly 200 also includes a second conductive connector 3.

A third threaded hole 311 is provided on the end face of the limiting protrusion 31. When in use, the step surface of the limiting protrusion 31 maintains horizontal overlap with the pile head of the circuit breaker 300, and a screw or bolt is passed through the pile head of the circuit breaker 300 and is threadedly connected with the third threaded hole 311 of the limiting protrusion 31.

The second connecting busbar 4 is Z-shaped, which is convenient for increasing the electrical clearance and creepage distance. In some application scenarios, a circuit breaker 300 requires three second conductive connectors 3, and the three second conductive connectors 3 include two shorter second conductive connectors 3 and one longer second conductive connector 3. The longer second conductive connector 3 is directly threadedly connected to the mounting hole 101 on the corresponding vertical busbar 100 , and the two shorter second conductive connectors 3 are respectively threadedly connected to the mounting holes 101 on the corresponding vertical busbar 100 through the second connecting busbar 4 .

[0050] Preferably, a second insulating layer is provided on the outer wall of the second conductive connector 3.
