[0002] Cast busbars are made by directly casting and sealing the busbar conductors with high-performance insulating resin through a specific process. Their protection level typically reaches IP68. This type of busbar offers a compact structure and excellent sealing performance, ensuring stable and safe power transmission.
[0003] In electrical systems, busbars are the components responsible for transmitting large amounts of power. Due to limitations in their materials and structure, traditional cast busbars often suffer from uneven heat distribution and insufficient heat dissipation efficiency under high-current conditions. Furthermore, the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cast busbar and the uneven heat distribution can cause the busbar material to expand, leading to deformation or stress, posing a potential threat to the stability and safety of the power system. To address these issues, we propose an air-cooled cast busbar. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution for an air-cooled cast busbar: it includes a busbar box 1 and a cast busbar main body 2 arranged in the busbar box 1, the cast busbar main body 2 is cast by insulating resin, and the top of the busbar box 1 is provided with a heat dissipation box 3 for supplying air to the inside of the busbar box 1, so as to perform heat dissipation on the cast busbar main body 2 in the busbar box 1, and a first air duct 4 is formed between the top of the cast busbar main body 2 and the heat dissipation box 3. Air is supplied to the first air duct 4 through the heat dissipation box 3, which can perform preliminary heat dissipation on the top of the cast busbar main body 2.
[0028] Conductors 7 are provided in the cast busbar body 2. Second air ducts 5 located between adjacent conductors 7 are provided through the side walls of the cast busbar body 2. The second air ducts 5 are connected to the first air ducts 4. The wind entering the first air duct 4 will further enter the second air duct 5 and pass through the air outlet of the second air duct 5, effectively guiding the heat to be dissipated from the inside of the cast busbar body 2, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0029] The upper part of the left and right side walls of the busbar box 1 is provided with a heat dissipation port 12, and the air outlet of the second air duct 5 is connected to the heat dissipation port 12 through the third air duct 6. The wind blown out through the air outlet of the second air duct 5 will carry the heat dissipated by the cast busbar body 2, pass through the third air duct 6, and finally be discharged to the outside through the heat dissipation port 12, and will also bring the heat of the third air duct 6 (that is, the heat of the side walls of the cast busbar body 2) to the outside, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring that the cast busbar can operate stably under high current working conditions, and reducing the potential risks to the power system caused by heat problems.
[0030] By arranging the first air duct, the second air duct and the third air duct, a U-shaped heat dissipation passage is formed between the air inlet on the top of the heat dissipation box and the heat dissipation opening on the side wall of the busbar box.
[0031] The third air duct 6 includes a heat exchange channel 61, which is arranged between the two side walls of the cast busbar body 2 and the inner wall of the busbar box 1. The hot air discharged through the second air duct carries a large amount of heat. The hot air can be quickly discharged from the busbar box from the heat dissipation port through the heat exchange channel. In the process of passing through the heat exchange channel, it can exchange heat with the side walls of the cast busbar body 2, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cast busbar body 2, making the temperature inside and outside of the cast busbar body 2 almost consistent, preventing the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cast busbar and uneven heat distribution, which leads to expansion of the busbar material and further causes deformation or stress of the busbar.
[0032] Specifically, a fan 31 is provided at the connection point between the heat sink 3 and the busbar box 1. The fan 31 dissipates heat through forced air convection and accelerated air flow, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. An air inlet 11 is provided at the top of the heat sink 3. The heat sink 3 is also provided with a first foreign object prevention component 8 for opening and closing the air inlet 11. When the fan 31 is started, air can enter the heat sink 3 through the air inlet 11 and supply air to the busbar box 1 to achieve a heat dissipation effect. When the air-cooled cast busbar is not in use (the fan 31 will also stop supplying power and rotating), the first foreign object prevention component 8 can prevent external foreign objects from entering the device, damaging the equipment, and affecting the subsequent heat dissipation effect.
[0033] The heat sink 3 is equipped with a second foreign object prevention assembly 9 for opening and closing the heat dissipation vents 12. When the fan 31 is activated, hot air can be discharged through the heat dissipation vents 12 to the outside of the busbar box 1 to achieve a heat dissipation effect. When the air-cooled cast busbar is not in use (the fan 31 is also powered and no longer rotated), the second foreign object prevention assembly 9 also prevents foreign matter from entering the device, potentially damaging the equipment and affecting subsequent heat dissipation, thereby ensuring the stable operation and safety of the air-cooled cast busbar.
[0034] Specifically, the first anti-foreign object component 8 includes an inward-opening baffle 81 hinged to the inner wall of the air inlet 11, and an elastic member 82 is provided between the inward-opening baffle 81 and the inner wall of the air inlet 11. The elastic member 82 can be a torsion spring. When there is no external wind force (that is, when the fan 31 is not started), the inward-opening baffle 81 remains in a closed state of the air inlet 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 82, effectively preventing external foreign objects from entering the interior of the heat dissipation box 3.
[0035] When the fan 31 is started, the wind force will overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 82 and push open the inner opening shielding plate 81, so that air can smoothly enter the heat dissipation box 3 from the air inlet 11, providing continuous air flow for the heat dissipation of the air-cooled casting busbar.
[0036] Specifically, the second foreign body prevention component 9 includes an outward-opening shielding plate 91 hinged to the inner wall of the heat dissipation port 12, and a counterweight block 92 is fixed to the bottom of the side wall of the outward-opening shielding plate 91 away from the busbar box 1;
[0037] When the air-cooled cast busbar is not in use (the fan 31 will also stop supplying power and rotating), the outward-opening shielding plate 91 is in a state of closing the heat dissipation port 12 under the action of the gravity of the counterweight block 92, which can effectively prevent external foreign matter from entering the busbar box 1, damaging the equipment and affecting the subsequent heat dissipation effect.
[0038] When the air-cooled cast busbar is working, when the fan 31 outputs the hot air through the first air duct 4, the second air duct 5 and the third air duct 6 to the heat dissipation port 12, the pressure of the hot air will overcome the gravity of the counterweight block 92, and push open the outward-opening baffle 91, so that the hot air can be discharged smoothly, ensuring the unobstructed heat dissipation channel, so that the air-cooled cast busbar can not only dissipate heat efficiently, but also effectively prevent external foreign matter from entering, thereby improving the stability and safety of the air-cooled cast busbar.
[0039] Specifically, a filter 83 covering the air inlet 11 is provided on the top of the heat sink 3. By setting the filter 83, external dust, debris, etc. can be effectively prevented from entering the heat sink 3, avoiding adverse effects on the heat dissipation effect of the air-cooled cast busbar. At the same time, it can also protect the components inside the heat sink 3 from interference from external foreign matter, ensuring the stable operation and heat dissipation performance of the air-cooled cast busbar.
[0040] Specifically, there are three conductors 7, each serving as a three-phase busbar conductor. Second air ducts 5 are arranged in two rows, with each row containing multiple second air ducts 5. This provides a more comprehensive heat dissipation channel for the air-cooled cast busbar. Air can flow through the multiple second air ducts 5, exchanging heat with the conductors 7, effectively removing heat generated by the conductors 7. This improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the air-cooled cast busbar and ensures its stability and reliability during operation.
[0041] Specifically, the third air duct 6 also includes a heat mixing channel 62, which is arranged between the bottom wall of the cast busbar body 2 and the bottom wall of the busbar box 1, and the heat mixing channel 62 is respectively connected to the heat exchange channel 61 and the second air duct 5. The airflow flowing out of multiple second air ducts 5 can be mixed in the heat mixing channel 62 first, and then simultaneously flow into the heat exchange channel 61 to further evenly distribute the heat.
[0042] Specifically, the left and right side walls of the cast busbar body 2 are both provided with heat dissipation grooves 71 communicating with the heat exchange channel 61;
[0043] Specifically, the left and right side walls of the cast busbar body 2 are each provided with heat dissipation grooves 71 that communicate with the heat exchange channel 61. These heat dissipation grooves 71 increase the contact area between the cast busbar body 2 and the air within the heat exchange channel 61, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the air-cooled cast busbar. Furthermore, the even distribution of heat dissipation grooves 71 helps ensure uniform heat dissipation on both sides of the cast busbar body 2, preventing localized overheating and thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the air-cooled cast busbar during operation.
[0044] Specifically, a baffle 13 is fixed between the busbar box 1 and the cast busbar body 2. The setting of the baffle 13 can separate and guide the air flow, prevent the air from flowing disorderly in the busbar box 1, and ensure the stability and reliability of the air-cooled cast busbar during operation.
