Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail transportation, in particular to a grounding busbar. Background Art

[0002] The grounding busbar provides a grounding conductor and connects various metal parts in the system to establish an isoelectric system. The voltage of this isoelectric system is almost zero, which can protect the safety of personnel and equipment in the event of overcurrent or fault.

[0003] The busbars used in existing rail trains are mainly divided into two types according to the number of terminals: four-terminal busbars and two-terminal busbars. With the development of dual-flow urban express trains, the electrical components on dual-flow express trains have changed compared to existing ordinary trains. Conventional four-terminal busbars and two-terminal busbars both have an even number of terminals. When the wiring requirement is an odd number, there will inevitably be idle terminals.

[0004] For example, the Chinese patent application number 202222404440.6, "A four-post bus suitable for axle-end grounding of urban rail trains," provides a four-post bus structure. However, dual-current rapid rail trains need to configure electrical component groups separately for both DC and AC power supply voltages. Dual-current rapid rail trains require lighter and smaller accessories, so the existing four-post bus structure is no longer applicable. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a grounding busbar to solve the technical problem of lack of a grounding busbar which is small in size, light in weight and has an odd number of terminals and is suitable for dual-current trains.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a grounding busbar, comprising an insulating base plate, a grounding plate, and a mounting plate for fixing to the train, wherein the grounding plate is fastened to the front face of the insulating base plate by three M10 bolts for connecting the negative line of train equipment, and an insulating sealant for pre-fixing is applied between the insulating base plate and the grounding plate;

[0007] The mounting plate is fastened to the back of the insulating base plate by 4 M8 countersunk screws. The 4 M8 countersunk screws are located at the four corners of the insulating base plate. The heads of the M8 countersunk screws are flush with the surface of the mounting plate, and the tails of the M8 countersunk screws are embedded in the insulating base plate.

[0008] The principle and advantages of this solution are: the M10 bolts not only serve as the terminal posts but also as the connectors that fix the insulating base plate and the grounding plate. Compared with the existing technology, the bolts that only serve to connect the insulating base plate and the grounding plate are eliminated. The insulating sealant between the insulating base plate and the grounding plate facilitates the maintenance of a stable relative position between the insulating base plate and the grounding plate when the terminal posts are connected. The insulating sealant also improves the safety of the grounding busbar.

[0009] M8 countersunk screws are inserted from the mounting plate into the insulating base plate, with the screw heads flush with the mounting plate surface and the screw tails embedded in the insulating base plate. This makes the M8 countersunk screws invisible to the grounding busbar, reducing the area occupied by the grounding busbar and preventing the protruding M8 countersunk screws from interfering with cable connections. The front of the insulating base plate connected to the grounding plate contacts the cables, preventing the M8 countersunk screws from conducting current to the mounting plate compared to existing technologies.

[0010] This solution provides a grounding busbar with three terminals, filling the gap of the lack of an odd number of terminals. The grounding busbar reduces the use of bolts, thereby reducing the overall weight. At the same time, it also eliminates the space for mounting bolts, reducing the size of the grounding busbar. Only the M8 countersunk screws used for connection are embedded inside the grounding busbar, avoiding interference with the installation environment, reducing the size and improving safety.

[0011] As an improvement, the grounding plate is 120 mm long and 40 mm wide, and the three M10 bolts are linearly arranged in sequence at intervals in the center of the grounding plate.

[0012] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the size of the grounding plate is reduced, ensuring that it can achieve the grounding function while being firmly connected to the insulating base plate by three M10 bolts.

[0013] As an improvement, an M10 nut is threadedly fixed on the M10 bolt, an M8 nut is threadedly fixed on the M8 countersunk screw, and toothed butterfly washers are provided between the M10 bolt and the M10 nut, and between the M8 countersunk screw and the M8 nut.

[0014] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the toothed butterfly washer is used to enhance the firmness of the connection between the bolt or screw and the nut.

[0015] As an improvement, a first countersunk hole for accommodating the bolt head of the M10 bolt and a second countersunk hole for accommodating the M8 nut are provided in the insulating base plate. The opening of the first countersunk hole is located on the back side of the insulating base plate, and the opening of the second countersunk hole is located on the front side of the insulating base plate.

[0016] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the openings of the two countersunk holes are distributed on different planes, and the first countersunk hole and the second countersunk hole are staggered, so that the distribution of the countersunk holes in the insulating base plate is more balanced than when concentrated on a single surface, thereby improving the strength of the insulating base plate.

[0017] As an improvement, the depths of the first countersunk hole and the second countersunk hole are both 15 mm, and the thickness of the insulating base plate is 25 mm.

[0018] The beneficial effect of this improvement is to ensure the strength of the insulating base plate.

[0019] As an improvement, the first countersunk hole and the second countersunk hole are filled with insulating sealant.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: making the surface of the grounding busbar smoother, preventing bolts and screws from conducting electricity, and preventing water and dust accumulation in the countersunk holes, thereby protecting the bolts and screws and extending their service life.

[0021] As an improvement, the mounting plate includes a first connecting surface and a second connecting surface, one side of the first connecting surface and one side of the second connecting surface are bent at a right angle, the mounting plate is a stainless steel plate with a thickness of 4 mm, and the inner fillet radius of the bending of the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface is 4 mm.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: ensuring the stability of the bending angle of the mounting plate and avoiding tearing of the bending portion.

[0023] As an improvement, the insulating base plate is fixedly connected to the second connecting surface, and the second connecting surface is equal in size to the back surface of the insulating base plate.

[0024] The beneficial effect of this improvement is to make the structure of the grounding bus more compact and reduce the volume of the grounding bus.

[0025] As an improvement, the grounding plate is a copper metal plate with a thickness of 5 mm, and the insulating bottom plate is an epoxy glass cloth laminate.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: ensuring good grounding performance and safety of the grounding busbar, and reducing mass and volume.

[0027] As an improvement, the width of the mounting plate is 160 mm, and the first connecting surface is provided with two oblong holes for connecting to the train. The length of the oblong holes is 20 mm and the width is 6 mm. The two oblong holes are located in the center of the first connecting surface and are 90 mm apart.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: ensuring that the size of the oblong hole is convenient for fixing to the train, controlling the opening position of the oblong hole while reducing the size of the first connecting surface, and improving the deformation resistance of the first connecting surface.
