[0002] Compact busbars are the mainstream development direction. Existing manufacturers of compact busbars, such as Schneider, ABB, and Eaton, offer vertical elbows in 90° configurations, as well as other zigzag, bidirectional, and flanged elbow styles.

[0019] In practice, the present invention provides two different structures of fixed-angle deflection elbows for dense bus ducts: one for vertical deflection of the dense busbars, and the other for horizontal deflection of the dense busbars. The present invention is used in conjunction with a single straight dense busbar and is connected using connectors, fasteners, seals, and insulators.
[0020] Example 1: When a dense busbar turns vertically, if there is sufficient space, a single vertical elbow or zigzag can achieve this. However, when there is an obstacle at the turning point, the fixed length of the zigzag elbow may not be able to effectively pass through the obstacle, and two additional 90° or zigzag turning elbows are required to meet production requirements. The present invention provides multiple types of dense busbar vertical elbows with angles of 30°, 60°, and 45°. In this case, only two are required to solve the obstacle problem, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall layout, lower cost, and superior performance.
[0021] The specific operation method is as follows: When a single straight busbar is laid horizontally, if it encounters an obstacle such as a pipeline at the same height, it needs to be lowered or raised. Traditionally, a 90-degree vertical elbow is used. 90-degree vertical elbows are only used in relatively spacious environments and may not be suitable for complex environments such as offshore vessels. In this case, a compact busbar with a vertical angle of 30 degrees is used. Connectors are used to connect two compact busbar sections to the original straight compact busbar and fasten them with fasteners. The original path can now be bent 30 degrees upward or downward. Add a straight compact busbar to this structure and connect the two compact busbar sections with connectors, extending it upward at a certain angle to the desired location. Then, connect it to a compact busbar with a vertical angle of 30 degrees and connect the two compact busbar sections with connectors, adjusting the 30-degree orientation to a horizontal position. Add a straight busbar section and connect it as above, allowing the compact busbar to be laid to any equipment location. This Z-shaped structure can span obstacles, but it can also form a common "F" shape or any other shape. It is then connected to the equipment flange-type compact busbar to complete the installation. The overall busbar length is shorter, the overall appearance is more beautiful, and the performance is superior. A variety of steering elbows with different angles need to be selected according to the actual on-site environment. If the obstacle is close, a 60-degree steering elbow is used. If the obstacle is far away, a 30-degree steering elbow is used. Generally, a 45-degree steering elbow is used as a principle.
[0022] Example 2: When a dense busbar is turning horizontally, a single horizontal elbow is sufficient if space is sufficient. However, if there is an obstruction at the turning point, three additional 90° elbows are required to meet production requirements. This product offers multiple types of dense busbar horizontal turning elbows, including 30°, 60°, and 45°. In this case, only two elbows are required to resolve the obstruction problem, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing overall layout, lower costs, and superior performance.
[0023] The specific working method is: horizontal elbows are connected to straight and dense busbars with connectors. The horizontal elbows can be used to change the direction of the horizontal laying path, with 30°, 45°, and 60° angles available for correction. The two horizontal elbow components are connected by a straight and dense busbar in the middle. The joints are connected with connectors and fasteners. Without changing the horizontal laying direction, the path can be shifted left or right by the required distance.
[0024] Figure 1 、 Figure 4 The following diagrams illustrate the three-dimensional structures of a vertical and horizontal busbar elbow for a compact busbar system. The difference is that the busbars within both the vertical and horizontal busbar systems are installed vertically, with all busbar types within the compact busbar system positioned vertically during installation. Fasteners are used to create a smooth transition between busbar surfaces, similar to the palm-to-back relationship. When a vertical busbar is flattened, the internal busbars become horizontal, forming a 90-degree angle with the original straight busbars, preventing fasteners from tightening securely.
[0025] This invention solves the problem of bypassing obstacles by folding straight, dense busbars into six different angles. These six fixed angles are not adjustable, allowing for the selection of dense busbar ducts with different angles depending on the environment. If a 30° busbar duct cannot bypass an obstacle, 45°, 60°, 120°, 135°, or 160° angles can be used. These angles can meet the needs of all specialized environments and are suitable for mass production.
