Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a copper-aluminum terminal block. Background Technology
[0002] Terminal blocks are widely used in power distribution networks, such as for connecting incoming and outgoing lines of electrical equipment like transformers, circuit breakers, and disconnect switches. Copper-aluminum terminal blocks are typically used. Their main function is to achieve reliable connections between conductors of different materials. Due to the significant differences in physical properties between copper and aluminum (such as resistivity and coefficient of thermal expansion), direct connection can easily lead to decreased conductivity and poor contact. Therefore, copper-aluminum terminal blocks are widely used as transitional connectors. Traditional copper-aluminum terminal blocks only have main terminals and external plates, lacking auxiliary connection structures. In practical use, especially under vibration or external forces, the screw connection between the main terminals and the external plate is prone to loosening, leading to poor contact and lower stability and reliability. Furthermore, the lack of a transitional structure in traditional designs results in high contact resistance between copper and aluminum, reducing current transmission efficiency and generating heat, thus decreasing the safety and lifespan of the copper-aluminum terminal blocks. Improvements and optimizations are therefore proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a copper-aluminum terminal block.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the copper-aluminum terminal block of this utility model is characterized by including a main terminal block, an auxiliary terminal block and an external plate.
