[0029] This embodiment provides a walking stick type low-voltage quick connection terminal, as Figure 1 shown. The walking stick type low-voltage quick connection terminal includes a flange connection seat 2 installed in a low-voltage cabinet 1, a terminal cable 3, and an intermediate joint 4 that is integrally U-shaped. Among them, the specific structures of the flange connection seat 2, the terminal cable 3, and the integrally U-shaped intermediate joint 4 are as follows:

[0030] Flange connection seat 2:

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the flange connection seat 2 includes a copper female seat 5 made of copper material, and a flange outer shell 6 sleeved outside the copper female seat 5. The flange outer shell 6 is made of nylon 66 material, and includes a nylon sleeve 13 sleeved outside the copper female seat 5, and a mounting flange base 14 integrally formed at the bottom of the nylon sleeve 13; through holes 15 are provided on the mounting flange base 14, and it is fixedly connected to the low-voltage cabinet 1 through bolts. The copper female seat 5 is a cylindrical structure passing through the nylon sleeve 13 and the flange base 14, and a slot for fitting a metal plug is formed inside it, and a wiring connection hole 16 for fitting and electrically connecting to electrical equipment in the low-voltage cabinet 1 is formed at the bottom. The copper female seat 5 is fixed relative to the flange outer shell 6, the flange outer shell 6 is fixedly installed on the low-voltage cabinet 1, and the copper female seat 5 is electrically connected to the electrical equipment in the low-voltage cabinet 1.

[0032] Intermediate joint 4:

[0033] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the intermediate joint 4 is a U-shaped metal part 7 bent into a U shape. The middle section of the U-shaped metal part 7 is wrapped with a terminal insulating layer 8. A male head metal plug 9 is formed on one side, and a female head metal socket end 10 is formed on the other side. And a first plug-in part 11 is installed outside the female head metal socket end 10, and through holes for fitting and connecting with an insulating operating rod are provided on the first plug-in part 11.

[0034] Terminal cable 3

[0035] The length of the terminal cable 3 is between 2 meters and 15 meters. The weight of the terminal cable 3 per meter is about 3 KG, and the overall weight is between 6 KG and 45 KG. As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, a second connector 12 that mates with the first connector 11 is installed at the end of the terminal cable 3.

[0036] The flange connection base 2, the intermediate joint 4, and the connectors outside the ends of the intermediate joint 4 and the terminal cable 3 form an integral crutch-shaped low-voltage quick-connection terminal. The usage method of this crutch-shaped low-voltage quick-connection terminal is as follows:

[0037] When a low-voltage device is connected to the terminal cable 3, as Figure 5 shown, first, install the flange connection base 2 on the low-voltage cabinet 1, and wire the electrical equipment in the low-voltage cabinet 1 to the copper busbar seat 5 of the flange connection base 2; then insert the intermediate joint 4 through its female head metal slot end 10 into the metal end of the terminal cable 3, and limit the insertion through the second connector 12 that mates with the first connector 11; at this time, the operator does not need to climb high, connect with the first connector 11 of the intermediate joint 4 on the ground with an insulating operating rod, and finally lift the intermediate joint 4 and the terminal cable 3 by using the insulating operating rod, and insert the male head metal post 9 of the intermediate joint 4 into the copper busbar seat 5 of the flange connection base 2 to complete the hanging operation of the terminal cable 3 of the low-voltage cabinet 1.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, in this crutch-shaped low-voltage quick-connection terminal, the intermediate joint 4 changes the gravity load of the original terminal cable 3 in the horizontal direction to the vertical direction and transmits it to the flange connection base 2; after receiving the gravity load, the flange connection base 2 can effectively transmit it to the low-voltage cabinet 1, thereby reducing the joint weight load borne by the cable joint and extending the service life.

[0039] Since the metal end of the terminal cable 3, the U-shaped metal part 7 of the intermediate joint 4, and the copper busbar seat 5 are all metal parts, the electrical conduction between the terminal cable 3 and the electrical equipment in the low-voltage cabinet 1 is satisfied. In addition, to achieve effects such as stable contact, low contact resistance, high overload current capacity, and low temperature rise, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, a ring-shaped first strap finger 17 is installed in the slot of the copper busbar seat 5, and at the same time, two second strap fingers 18 that can contact the end of the terminal cable 3 are installed in the female head metal slot end 10 of the U-shaped intermediate joint 4. Embodiment

[0040] On the basis of Embodiment 1, to ensure the convenience and stability of the connection between the intermediate joint 4 and the terminal cable 3, this embodiment provides a plug-in structure for connecting the intermediate joint 4 and the terminal cable 3. The plug-in structure includes a first plug-in member 11 installed outside the female head metal socket end 10, and a second plug-in member 12 installed at the end of the terminal cable 3 and capable of being plugged and matched with the first plug-in member 11.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the first plug-in connecting member includes a fixed seat 19 and a connecting seat 20. The fixed seat 19 is fixedly sleeved and connected with the female head metal socket end 10; the connecting seat 20 is a tubular structure, one end of which is fixedly connected with the fixed seat 19. A gap space 21 is formed between the inner wall of the connecting seat 20 and the outer wall of the female head metal socket end 10, and a plugging and positioning assembly 22 is installed outside the connecting seat 20. The fixed seat 19 is provided with a through hole for cooperating with an insulating operating rod to connect. The second plug-in member 12 is a cylindrical structure installed at the end of the terminal cable 3, and it can be inserted into the gap space 21 and limited by the plugging and positioning assembly 22.

[0042] As Figure 6 shown, considering the convenience of connecting the intermediate joint 4 and the terminal cable 3, a contact block 23 is arranged in the gap space 21 between the inner wall of the connecting seat 20 and the outer wall of the female head metal socket end 10. The contact block 23 is installed in the gap space 21 through a contact spring 24. When the second plug-in member 12 is inserted, it pushes the contact block 23 to compress the contact spring 24; until the second plug-in member 12 reaches the plugging and positioning assembly 22, the plugging and positioning assembly 22 limits the second plug-in member 12; conversely, when the plugging and positioning assembly 22 releases the limit on the second plug-in member 12, under the action of the contact spring 24, the second plug-in member 12 can quickly come out to achieve convenient plugging and unplugging.

[0043] As Figure 6 shown, the plugging and positioning assembly 22 in this embodiment includes a sliding sleeve 25 slidably sleeved outside the connecting seat 20 through a spring, and a positioning steel ball 26 installed on the pipe wall of the connecting seat 20; a groove 27 for cooperating with the outward movement of the positioning steel ball 26 is formed on the inner surface of the sliding sleeve 25; a first positioning groove 28 for cooperating with the positioning steel ball 26 is arranged on the contact block 23; a second positioning groove 29 for cooperating with the positioning steel ball 26 is arranged on the outside of the second plug-in member 12. When connecting the intermediate joint 4 and the terminal cable 3, first, to Figure 6Slide the sliding sleeve 25 on the left side to align the groove 27 on the inner surface of the sliding sleeve 25, the positioning steel ball 26, and the first positioning groove 28 on the abutting block 23 on the same axis; at this time, insert the second connector 12. While the second connector 12 pushes the abutting block 23, the positioning steel ball 26 moves outward. When the second connector 12 reaches the plugging and positioning assembly 22, that is, when the end of the terminal cable 3 is completely inserted into the metal end of the terminal cable 3, release the sliding sleeve 25, and the sliding sleeve 25 slides Figure 6 to the right side in the middle, and at the same time the positioning steel ball 26 moves inward and snaps into the second positioning groove 29 outside the second connector 12 to form a limit, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the intermediate joint 4 and the terminal cable 3.

[0044] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
