Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical components, in particular to a small-current primary connector for a drawer cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Low-voltage switchgear is suitable for power transmission, distribution, and conversion in industries such as power plants, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, textiles, and high-rise buildings. The main circuit connectors in drawer-type low-voltage switchgear are generally divided into movable and static connectors. The movable connector is driven by the drawer, enabling the movable and static connectors to switch on and off. In the low-voltage switchgear industry, 125A is generally used as the limit. Small drawer units typically do not exceed 125A, while large unit drawers can handle up to 630A, with some even offering 800A with dual 400A units. These different loads require greater insertion force to insert the larger unit drawer (a 630A unit typically requires around 100kg of force), making direct manual insertion difficult. A rotary push mechanism is often used to assist in inserting and removing the drawer. Low-current drawers, on the other hand, can usually be inserted and removed manually due to their lower insertion and removal forces. High-current drawers require greater insertion and removal forces, and a dedicated force-saving mechanism ensures a smooth and reliable push-in process.

[0003] However, existing low-current primary connectors have relatively low insertion and removal forces, as required by technical standards. However, because they rely on manual insertion, insufficient force during insertion can prevent the connector from being inserted, while greater force can create significant impact, potentially damaging components. Therefore, low-current and high-current connectors differ in their operating environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a low-current primary connector for a drawer cabinet. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art above that existing low-current primary connectors, while requiring relatively low insertion and removal forces as required by technical standards, rely on manual propulsion. This means that if the connector is pushed in too lightly during insertion, it will not fit. However, if too much force is applied, the drawer will experience significant impact, potentially damaging components. Therefore, there are certain differences in the operating environments of low-current and high-current connectors.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a small current primary connector for a drawer cabinet, comprising a terminal block, the terminal block comprising a mounting plate and a fixed plate, one end of the mounting plate being fixedly connected to the fixed plate, two contact copper sheets being arranged on the surface of the mounting plate, a spring sheet being provided on the surface of the mounting plate at a position opposite to the contact copper sheets, and the spring sheet covering the surface of the contact copper sheet, and the bottom of the spring sheet being in contact with the bottom of the contact copper sheet.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting plate includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, one end of the first connecting plate is connected to the fixing plate, and the other end of the first connecting plate is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are designed in a stepped structure, the connection between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate adopts an arc structure design, and the middle of the surface of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are fixedly connected with a positioning column.

[0008] Preferably, a positioning hole adapted to the positioning column is opened in the middle of the surface of the contact copper sheet and the spring sheet, and the inner wall of the positioning hole is in contact with the outer wall of the positioning column.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting piece bent outward is fixedly connected to the bottom of the contact copper piece, and the inner wall of the connecting piece is in contact with the bottom surface of the spring piece.

[0010] Preferably, the contact copper sheet and the spring sheet are both designed in a U-shaped structure.

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] Combined with the structural design of the utility model, the utility model has good plugging and unplugging capabilities during the process of inserting the connector in a low current use environment, thereby improving the service life of various components in the switch cabinet.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 It is a structural schematic diagram of a small-current primary connector for a drawer cabinet in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a small-current primary connector for a drawer cabinet includes a terminal block 1. The terminal block 1 includes a mounting plate 12 and a fixing plate 11. One end of the mounting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 11. Two contact copper sheets 2 are arranged on the surface of the mounting plate 12. The mounting plate 12 and the contact copper sheet 2 are fixed by riveting. A spring sheet 3 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 12 at a position relative to the contact copper sheet 2, and the spring sheet 3 covers the surface of the contact copper sheet 2, and the bottom of the spring sheet 3 is in contact with the bottom of the contact copper sheet 2. Combined with the structural design of the present invention, it has good plugging and unplugging capabilities during the insertion of the connector in a small current use environment, thereby improving the service life of various components in the switch cabinet.

[0021] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 12 includes a first connecting plate 121 and a second connecting plate 122, one end of the first connecting plate 121 is connected to the fixed plate 11, and the other end of the first connecting plate 121 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 122. At the same time, the first connecting plate 121 and the second connecting plate 122 are designed with a stepped structure, and the connection between the first connecting plate 121 and the second connecting plate 122 adopts an arc structure design, which can reduce the resistance of the contact copper sheet 2 when current is passed through. The middle of the surface of the first connecting plate 121 and the second connecting plate 122 are fixedly connected with a positioning column 13.

[0022] In this embodiment, a positioning hole 22 adapted to the positioning column 13 is opened in the middle of the surface of the contact copper sheet 2 and the spring sheet 3, and the inner wall of the positioning hole 22 is in contact with the outer wall of the positioning column 13. This structural design facilitates better installation of the contact copper sheet 2 and the spring sheet 3 and plays a guiding role.
