[0034] As described above, when the bus duct's protection capability cannot withstand the harsh surrounding environment, the bus duct may leak. Therefore, when the bus duct is in a high-risk application environment, it is necessary to promptly detect whether the bus duct has a water leakage accident and cut off the power supply in time. The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a bus duct 100 to at least partially solve the above problem. Figures 1 to 7 The principles of the present disclosure are described.

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a bus duct 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a bus duct 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, wherein the conductor 7 and the connecting wire 8 are not shown. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the bus duct 100 described herein generally includes a body 1, a pair of sealing members 2, a pair of cover plates 3, a detection rope 4, a detection member 5, an adapter 6, a conductor 7 and a connecting line 8.

[0036] Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a bus duct 100 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, one seal 2 of the pair of seals 2 is disposed on one side of the body 1, and the other seal 2 of the pair of seals 2 is disposed on the other side of the body 1. The pair of cover plates 3 each covers and presses the corresponding seal 2 of the pair of seals 2, and the pair of cover plates 3 each presses the corresponding seal 2 onto the body 1.

[0037] Figure 4 Schematic diagrams of the structures of the sealing member 2, the cover plate 3 and the detection rope 4 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Figures 2 to 4 Specifically, each of the paired cover plates 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31. The mounting groove 31 is provided on the side of the corresponding cover plate 3 facing the body 1, that is, the mounting groove 31 is provided on the inner side of the corresponding cover plate 3. The mounting groove 31 may be shielded by the corresponding seal 2. The detection rope 4 may be provided in at least one mounting groove 31 of the paired cover plates 3.

[0038] Continue reading Figures 2 to 4In some embodiments, the detection rope 4 can be arranged in a mounting groove 31 in the pair of cover plates 3 .

[0039] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection rope 4 is located on the inner side of the cover plate 3, and the detection rope 4 is blocked by the seal 2. Therefore, when moisture penetrates the seal 2 and enters the interior of the bus duct 100, the detection rope 4 can timely detect a water leakage accident in the bus duct 100. In addition, the detection rope 4 is located at the installation position of the cover plate 3 and the body 1. Since this position is a weak point in the protection of the bus duct 100, the bus duct 100 of the present disclosure can be accurately detected whether a water leakage accident occurs.

[0040] Obviously, compared with the conventional solution of laying the water leakage detection equipment on the outside of the shell, on the one hand, the workload of laying the detection rope 4 of the bus duct 100 disclosed in the present invention is small. On the other hand, laying the detection equipment on the outside of the shell can only detect the presence of moisture on the outside of the bus duct 100, but a small amount of moisture will not cause the protection capability of the bus duct 100 to fail, and too much invalid alarm information is likely to cause a waste of resources. The detection rope 4 of the bus duct 100 disclosed in the present invention is located on the inner side of the cover plate 3. When the outside of the bus duct 100 encounters water and the amount of water has exceeded the protection capability of the bus duct 100, the detection rope 4 can detect a water leakage accident in the bus duct 100. Therefore, the bus duct 100 disclosed in the present invention can accurately provide an alarm signal.

[0041] Return to Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the body 1 may include a pair of mounting areas 11 disposed on opposite sides along its extension direction. Each mounting area 11 in the pair of mounting areas 11 may be covered by a corresponding seal 2 and a corresponding cover plate 3 to ensure the protection capability of the bus duct 100.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, each seal 2 may cover at least the portion of the body 1 located at the installation area 11. For example, each seal 2 may cover the body 1 at least along the outer contour of the portion of the body 1 located at the installation area 11. Both ends of each seal 2 may also cover the side panels of the body 1 located outside the installation area 11. Figure 5 Shows Figure 3 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A of the bus duct is shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the portion of the body 1 located at the installation area 11 and the detection rope 4 are respectively located at corresponding positions on both sides of the seal 2. Further, the outer contour of the portion of the body 1 located at the installation area 11 can overlap with the outer contour of the detection rope 4.

[0043] With the above configuration, the protection capability of the bus duct 100 is improved. At the same time, the water needs to penetrate the seal 2 before triggering the detection rope 4, so that when the outside of the bus duct 100 encounters water and the amount of water exceeds the protection capability of the bus duct 100, the detection rope 4 can detect a water leakage accident in the bus duct 100, so the bus duct 100 of the present disclosure can accurately provide an alarm signal.

[0044] Continue reading Figure 5 In some embodiments, the side of the detection rope 4 that is away from the bottom of the corresponding installation groove 31 can be flush with the surface of the corresponding cover plate 3. At the same time, the side of the detection rope 4 that is away from the bottom of the corresponding installation groove 31 is in contact with the surface of the corresponding sealing member 2.

[0045] In other embodiments, the side of the detection rope 4 that is away from the bottom of the corresponding installation groove 31 may not be flush with the surface of the corresponding cover plate 3. In other words, the side of the detection rope 4 that is away from the bottom of the corresponding installation groove 31 may be spaced apart from the surface of the corresponding seal 2; or the side of the detection rope 4 that is away from the bottom of the corresponding installation groove 31 may extend out of the corresponding seal 2 and squeeze the surface of the corresponding seal 2. It can be understood that since the seal 2 has a certain amount of compression, even if the detection rope 4 squeezes the seal 2, the protective performance of the bus duct 100 will not be affected by controlling the extension amount of the detection rope 4.

[0046] Continue reading Figure 5 It can be understood that the present disclosure can avoid serious interference of the detection rope 4 with the corresponding sealing member 2 by arranging the detection rope 4 in the installation groove 31 of the cover plate 3, thereby improving the protection performance of the bus duct 100.

[0047] The detection rope 4 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure can be a detection rope of various shapes currently known or available in the future, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, in some embodiments, the cross section of the detection rope 4 can be a cylinder. Figure 5 In other embodiments, the detection rope 4 can be designed to be flat, and the cross-section of the detection rope 4 can be an I-shape.

[0048] Return to Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mounting groove 31 may include a first mounting groove 311 and a pair of second mounting grooves 312. The first mounting groove 311 may include an annular mounting groove; correspondingly, the seal 2 may include an annular seal. The first mounting groove 311 may be shielded by the corresponding seal 2. Each second mounting groove 312 in the pair of second mounting grooves 312 may be connected to the first mounting groove 311, and each second mounting groove 312 may be surrounded by the first mounting groove 311.

[0049] Correspondingly, continue to see Figure 4 , the detection rope 4 may include a first portion 41 and a second portion 42. The first portion 41 and the second portion 42 are an integrated structure. The first portion 41 may be disposed in the first mounting groove 311. The first portion 41 may include a first end portion 411 and a second end portion 412. The second end portion 412 may be spaced apart from the first end portion 411, and a gap between the second end portion 412 and the first end portion 411 is smaller. The second portion 42 may be connected to the second end portion 412, and the second portion 42 may be disposed in one of the second mounting grooves 312 in the pair of second mounting grooves 312. The pair of second mounting grooves 312 may be symmetrically disposed with each other, whereby the cover plate 3 is easy to produce, but only one second mounting groove 312 in the pair of second mounting grooves 312 is used.

[0050] With the above configuration, no matter from which position of the seal 2 the water enters the interior of the bus duct 100 , the detection rope 4 can detect the water leakage accident of the bus duct 100 in time.

[0051] Further, the detection rope 4 can be electrically connected to the detection member 5, and the detection member 5 can be arranged on the body 1. Thus, when water enters the body 1, if the detection rope 4 encounters moisture, the detection rope 4 can generate an alarm signal, and the detection rope 4 can send the alarm signal to the detection member 5 for subsequent processing of the alarm signal.

[0052] Return to Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, when the detection rope 4 is disposed in a mounting groove 31 in the pair of cover plates 3, the number of the adapter 6 is one. The adapter 6 can be disposed on one of the cover plates 3 in the pair of cover plates 3, and specifically, the detection rope 4 is disposed in the mounting groove 31 of the cover plate 3. The adapter 6 can pass through the corresponding cover plate 3. The end of the adapter 6 adjacent to the body 1 is electrically connected to the second portion 42, and specifically, the end of the adapter 6 adjacent to the body 1 is electrically connected to an end of the second portion 42 away from the second end 412. The end of the adapter 6 away from the body 1 is electrically connected to the detection member 5. In other words, the detection rope 4 can send an alarm signal to the detection member 5 through the adapter 6.

[0053] In some embodiments, the end of the adapter 6 adjacent to the body 1 is provided with a socket, and correspondingly, the end of the second portion 42 away from the second end 412 is provided with a plug, thereby achieving a quick connection between the adapter 6 and the detection rope 4.

[0054] Return to Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the end of the adapter 6 that is away from the body 1 is electrically connected to the detection element 5 through a wire 7. Therefore, the detection rope 4 can send an alarm signal to the detection element 5 through the adapter 6 and the wire 7.

[0055] Continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, according to different application scenarios and requirements, the body 1 may include multiple pairs of installation areas 11. Correspondingly, the bus duct 100 may include multiple detection ropes 4, multiple adapters 6, multiple detection members 5, and multiple wires 7. The corresponding detection ropes 4 may be connected to the corresponding detection members 5 through the corresponding adapters 6 and the corresponding wires 7.

[0056] Continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, multiple detection members 5 can be connected in sequence through connecting wires 8, and then connected to the upper-level gateway (not shown in the figure) through the connecting wires 8. Since the upper-level gateway can receive the alarm signal sent by the detection ropes 4 located in different installation areas 11, the bus duct 100 according to the present disclosure can realize the positioning detection function of water leakage, so as to accurately and quickly obtain the water leakage area of ​​the bus duct 100.

[0057] Of course, in other embodiments, multiple detection components 5 can also be connected to the upper gateway respectively through wireless communication. Similarly, the bus duct 100 according to the present disclosure can realize the location detection function of water leakage, so as to accurately and quickly obtain the water leakage area of ​​the bus duct 100.

[0058] Figure 6 Schematic diagrams of the structures of bus ducts 100 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Figure 6 The bus duct 100 shown is Figure 1 The bus duct 100 shown has a similar structure, the main difference is that Figure 6 The detection ropes 4 are arranged in pairs, and the detection ropes 4 are arranged in corresponding mounting grooves 31 in the paired cover plates 3. The adapters 6 are arranged in pairs, and the wires 7 are arranged in pairs. In the following, the difference between the two will be mainly described, and the same parts will not be repeated.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, the bus duct 100 described herein generally includes a body 1, a pair of seals 2, a pair of cover plates 3, a pair of detection ropes 4, a detection member 5, a pair of adapters 6, a pair of wires 7, and a connecting wire 8. The structure of the body 1, the seals 2, the cover plates 3, the detection ropes 4, the detection members 5, the adapters 6, the wires 7, and the connecting wires 8 is similar to that described above. Figure 1 The structures described are similar and will not be described again here.

[0060] Figure 7 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a bus duct 100 according to other embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the detection ropes 4 are arranged in pairs, and the detection ropes 4 are arranged in corresponding installation slots 31 in the paired cover plates 3. That is, each installation slot 31 is provided with a detection rope 4.

[0061] Continue reading Figure 6 to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the paired adapters 6 are each disposed on a corresponding cover plate 3, and each of the paired adapters 6 passes through a corresponding cover plate 3. The end of each of the paired adapters 6 adjacent to the body 1 is electrically connected to the corresponding second portion 42, and the end of each of the paired adapters 6 away from the body 1 is electrically connected to the detection member 5.

[0062] In some embodiments, each adapter 6 is provided with a socket at the end adjacent to the body 1, and correspondingly, a plug is provided at the end of the corresponding second portion 42 away from the second end 412. Thus, the adapter 6 and the detection rope 4 can be quickly connected.
