[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] The present utility model provides a connector structure for a bus duct and a plug-in box as Figures 1-6 shown. A connector body 3 is provided at the connection between the bottom of the plug-in box 1 and the ends of two bus ducts 2. The connector body 3 includes two symmetrically distributed housings 31 in the front and back, and a plurality of insulating sheets 32 are horizontally inserted between the two housings 31. A plugging gap 33 is formed between every two adjacent insulating sheets 32, which can be used for the bus bar 22 in the bus duct 2 to be inserted through the bottom of the housing 31, and for the plug pins 12 at the bottom of the plug-in box 1 to be inserted through the top of the housing 31. The fastening bolt 34 longitudinally penetrates through the two housings 31, and a square nut 35 is installed at the end of its threaded section to complete the assembly of the bus duct 2 and the plug-in box 1 in cooperation with the fastening bolt 34. A locknut 36 is provided outside the square nut 35, and a gasket 37 is placed between the locknut 36 and the square nut 35.

[0042] In one embodiment, the connector body 3 further includes a ring plate 38, which is installed on the outer side wall of each housing 31, and a sealing edge 39 is formed by bending the periphery of the end of the ring plate 38 away from the housing 31 inward, which is used to accommodate the fastening bolt 34, and an elastic sheet 310 is further provided inside the ring plate 38 to improve the fastening effect of the fastening bolt 34.

[0043] In one embodiment, baffles 311 are inserted between the insulating sheets 32 and between the insulating sheet 32 and the housing 31 to ensure that the gap width of the insertion gap 33 is not affected, thereby increasing the service life of the busbar trunking 2. The fastening bolts 34 pass through the baffles 311, and aluminum alloy sheets 312 are installed on the rear side of the insulating sheet 32 at the frontmost side and on the front and rear sides of the remaining insulating sheets 32 to replace the currently used copper-aluminum composite plate, reducing the cost investment while reducing the operation risk of the composite plate, and also improving the anti-corrosion performance and overall strength of the busbar trunking 2, facilitating the use of the busbar trunking 2.

[0044] In one embodiment, the plug-in box 1 includes a box body 11 and a plurality of pins 12 provided at the bottom of the box body 11 and adapted to the insertion gap 33, an organic glass plate 13 installed on the bottom side wall of the box body 11 and above the pins 12, and the organic glass plate 13 is connected to the plug-in box 1 through a sealing strip, which can be used for workers to observe the pins 12 and troubleshoot faults. A cross-door grounding cable 14 connected to the box body 11 and the door can ensure better connectivity with the grounding point, thereby reducing the grounding resistance and forming a grounding protection, making the plug-in box 1 safer to use, and an insulating cover plate 15 installed on the top of the side wall of the box body 11. A low-voltage cross-linked bushing 16 is further provided inside the box body 11 to protect the copper wire or copper bar inside the box body 11, and an insulating buckle box 17 is installed at the end of the low-voltage cross-linked bushing 16 to prevent operators from accidentally entering the live area and causing danger.

[0045] In one embodiment, the busbar trunking 2 includes a busbar housing 21 and a plurality of busbars 22 provided inside the busbar housing 21. A folding plate 23 is installed on the outer side of the end of the busbar housing 21, which can clamp the outer side wall of the housing 31 after the busbars 22 are inserted, better adapting to the housing 31 of the connector body 3 and improving the stability of the engagement between the busbar housing 21 and the housing 31. The busbars 22 are, from the inside to the outside, a busbar PE row, a busbar A row, a busbar B row, a busbar C row, and a busbar N row. Among them, the busbar PE row is inserted between the insulating sheet 32 at the rearmost side and the housing 31, and the remaining busbars 22 are inserted in a staggered manner with the insulating sheet 32 to ensure the normal use of the busbars 22.

[0046] In one embodiment, both left and right ends of the housing 31 are chamfered, and the bottoms of the two housings 31 are connected by a sealing plate. During the process of the connector body 3 falling, it is convenient for the housing 31 to be adapted to the busbar housing 21 and ensure that the housing 31 is firmly clamped. Also, the bottoms of the two housings 31 are connected by a sealing plate (not shown in the drawings). After the connector body 3, the busbar trough 2, and the plug-in box 1 are assembled, a sealing plate is welded to the bottom of the connector body 3 or installed with fastening components such as pins, so as to protect the connection part of the three, enabling the three to be smoothly put into use after installation.

[0047] The specific implementation method is as follows: When the connector body 3 is in use, the staff first place the two busbar troughs 2 on the external support brackets and reserve the spacing required for the connector body 3. Then, the connector body 3 is placed between the two busbar troughs 2 from top to bottom, and it is ensured that the busbar PE row, busbar A row, busbar B row, busbar C row, and busbar N row are all inserted into the corresponding insertion gaps 33. That is, the busbar PE row is inserted between the insulating sheet 32 at the rearmost side and the housing 31, and the remaining busbar rows 22 are inserted in a staggered manner with the insulating sheet 32. When the housing 31 of the connector body 3 gradually falls and engages with the busbar housing 21 of the busbar trough 2, the assembly of the connector body 3 and the busbar trough 2 is completed.

[0048] Subsequently, the staff align the pins 12 of the plug-in box 1 with the insertion gaps 33, insert the pins 12 into the insertion gaps 33, and clamp them with an external fastening clip (not shown in the drawings). After checking that there is no exposed area, the assembly of the plug-in box 1 and the connector body 3 is completed.

[0049] After the staff checks and confirms that there is no error, the fastening bolt 34 is inserted from back to front, and the square nut 35 is screwed tightly at the end of the threaded section, so as to fasten the connector body 3 together. At this time, a gasket 37 is placed outside the square nut 35, and a locknut 36 is screwed tightly outside the square nut 35. While the gasket 37 is expanded, the square nut 35 is strengthened, ensuring that the square nut 35 is not easily loosened during use, thereby increasing the fastening effect of the fastening bolt 34, and thus completing the assembly of the busbar trough 2, the plug-in box 1, and the connector body 3.

[0050] Meanwhile, during long-term use in the later stage, if the locknut 36 fails and the connection with the square nut 35 becomes loose, the gasket 37 will fall off or its position will shift. By observing the state of the gasket 37, the staff can intuitively know that the locknut 36 has become loose. At this time, the staff can check the fastening bolt 34 to see if it has also become loose, so as to know the tightening state of the fastening bolt 34 in the first time, achieving a warning effect. Moreover, when the gasket 37 is tightly pressed by the square nut 35 and the locknut 36, it will deform and have threads tapped, which can be adapted to the square nut 35 and the locknut 36, compensating for the gap between the threads of the two and making their connection more tight, further improving the anti-loosening performance of the fastening bolt 34;

[0051] This embodiment specifically solves the problem in the prior art that when the busbar trunking 2 is operating at a large current, in order to achieve convenient plugging and unplugging with the plug-in box 1, usually a connector is used to connect the busbar trunking 2 and the plug-in box 1. However, the fastening bolt 34 of the connector is very easy to become loose during use, and there is no warning measure, making it difficult for the staff to find out in the first time and needing to be improved.

[0052] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described by way of illustration above. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
