Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of busbar connector technology, specifically, it relates to a waterproof busbar connector. Background Technology
[0002] Busbars connect the various current-carrying branch circuits in a power distribution system, playing a role in collecting, distributing, and transmitting electrical energy. Based on their shape and structure, busbars are broadly classified into three categories: rigid busbars, including rectangular busbars, circular busbars, and tubular busbars. Busbar joints are mostly connected by plug-in connections. Bus trunking is also very common in daily life; it is a closed metal device made of copper or aluminum busbar columns, used to distribute larger amounts of power to various components in a distributed system.
[0003] Publication No. CN218633241U discloses a waterproof busbar trunking connector, including mounting plates. A first waterproof hemisphere is movably mounted on the outer surface of one mounting plate, and a second waterproof hemisphere is movably mounted on the outer surface of the other mounting plate. Two drainage plates are installed on the upper and lower ends of both the first and second waterproof hemispheres. This invention, through the cooperation of the first and second waterproof hemispheres, allows the device to be used such that, after the mounting plate and conductive copper plate are installed between the copper busbars on both sides, a fixing rod can be inserted into the mounting rod, causing the first and second waterproof hemispheres to be mounted on the outer surface of the mounting plate. This, in turn, provides a blocking effect through the first and second waterproof hemispheres, thus isolating the connection between the copper busbars and the conductive copper plate, thereby achieving a waterproof function.
[0004] Many existing busbar connections are exposed to the outside environment. Although some busbar connections are waterproof, they are still susceptible to rainwater erosion over time, which can affect their service life and even cause short circuits.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a waterproof busbar connector. Utility Model Content

The fixing ring 11 has an internal thread 21 on its inner side. The external thread 9 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 21. When the sealing ring 7 is rotated, the external thread 9 is threadedly connected to the internal thread 21, so that the sealing ring 7 wraps around the outside of the socket seat 4 and the sealing sleeve 17.
[0033] Specifically, the outer side of the sealing ring 7 can also be provided with anti-slip texture to facilitate the rotation of the sealing ring 7.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting sealing groove 20 is provided on the inner side of the sealing collar 17, and a limiting sealing ring 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the insertion hole seat 4. The limiting sealing ring 5 cooperates with the limiting sealing groove 20.
[0035] Specifically, the sealing ring 17 is inserted into the socket seat 4, and the three pins 18 are inserted into the three sockets 6. The limiting sealing ring 5 cooperates with the limiting sealing groove 20 to seal the sealing ring 17 between the socket seats 4.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a retaining strip 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sealing collar 17, and a retaining slot 22 is provided on the bottom side of the insertion hole seat 4, with the retaining strip 19 cooperating with the retaining slot 22.
[0037] Specifically, the jack 4 is inserted into the sealing collar 17, and the retaining strip 19 is aligned with the retaining opening 22 to ensure that the three pins 18 are aligned with the three jack holes 6.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, an annular groove 2 is provided on the inner side of the first connector plate 1, a limiting ring 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular groove 2, a sealing ring 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 2, a limiting groove 8 is provided on the inner side of the sealing ring 7, and the limiting ring 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 8.
[0039] Specifically, the sealing ring 7 rotates within the annular groove 2 by sliding the limiting ring 3 to the inner wall of the limiting groove 8.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the outer side of the first connector plate 1 is fixedly installed with a second conical rubber sleeve 16, and the second conical rubber sleeve 16 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the second busbar 15.

The limiting ring 3 slides through the inner wall of the limiting groove 8 to ensure that the sealing ring 7 rotates in the annular groove 2. When the sealing ring 7 is rotated, the external thread 9 and the internal thread 21 are threaded together, so that the sealing ring 7 wraps around the outside of the socket seat 4 and the sealing sleeve 17, forming the second layer of seal. The first busbar 14 and the second busbar 15 can be connected. When disassembling, the sealing ring 7 is rotated in the opposite direction and pulled outward to separate the three pins 18 from the three sockets 6, thus disconnecting the first busbar 14 from the second busbar 15.
