[0002] Generally in the design of indoor AC metal-enclosed switchgear, the three-phase busbar system commonly relies on insulators for stable support, and the middle phase often needs to be installed in a staggered manner with the other two phases due to insulation requirements, especially in the busbar structure arranged from back to middle to front, the fulcrum of the middle phase support can only be achieved through an adapter on top or bottom, which not only significantly increases the overall width of the switchgear, but also exacerbates the complexity of on-site installation and maintenance, posing a challenge to space utilization and operational convenience.

However, while this fully enclosed design ensures electrical safety, it also limits the natural convection and radiation of heat, which may cause the temperature inside the contact box to rise, affecting the long-term stable operation and service life of the equipment.

[0022] The multifunctional contact box and the vertical busbar mounting structure of the utility model are described with reference to the drawings.
[0023] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 A multifunctional contact box 1 has the functions of supporting a busbar 2 and forming a static contact area 21 on the busbar 2 for a movable contact to engage. The upper part of the contact box 1 is provided with a supporting groove 11, and the lower part of the contact box 1 is provided with a cavity 3 having a lower opening 31. The supporting groove 11 has a communication area 111 communicating with the cavity 3 and extends through the left and right sides. The busbar 2 has a static contact area 21 and passes through the supporting groove 11 to be supported and positioned on the contact box 1, so that the static contact area 21 corresponds to the position of the communication area 111. The movable contact extends into the cavity 3 through the lower opening 31 and engages on the static contact area 21.
[0024] The contact box 1 is made of insulating material such as epoxy resin, that is, the contact box 1 itself has insulating properties, so that the busbar 2 can be directly supported by the contact box 1, thereby saving the material cost of the insulator originally used to support the busbar 2. The side wall of the support groove 11 corresponding to the communication area 111 is shallower than the depth of the support groove 11, or the support groove 11 in the communication area 111 is not provided with a side wall, that is, when the busbar 2 is arranged in the support groove 11, a part of the side wall of the busbar 2 can be exposed in the cavity 3 through the communication area 111, and the exposed area of the busbar 2 is the static contact area 21, which is directly used as a static contact and directly engages with the moving contact, without the need to additionally manufacture a static contact and a branch copper bar, and without the problem of additional installation of the static contact and the branch copper bar.
[0025] The contact box 1 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 13 at the side of the support groove 11, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the heat dissipation hole 13 is arranged at one side of the support groove 11, when the moving contact and the static contact area 21 are in contact and work, the hot air around the static contact area 21 and the moving contact can be dissipated from the heat dissipation hole 13 above, and the heat dissipation hole 13 is in the shape of a long strip, the length of the heat dissipation hole 13 is equivalent to or greater than the length of the static contact area 21 where the moving contact engages, the hot air generated during the work of the engagement of the moving contact and the static contact area 21 is dissipated through the heat dissipation hole 13, so that the equipment installed with the contact box 1 can operate stably for a long time, as shown in the drawings, the length of the heat dissipation hole 13 is only slightly shorter than the length of the support groove 11, further improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0026] The contact box 1 is provided with a reinforcing structure 14 on and / or beside the heat dissipation hole 13, the reinforcing structure 14 can avoid affecting the structural strength of the contact box 1 due to the opening of the heat dissipation hole 13, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 , the reinforcing structure 14 includes a first reinforcing rod 141, a second reinforcing rod 143 and a triangular reinforcing block 142, the first reinforcing rod 141 is directly arranged at the middle of the heat dissipation hole 13, one side of the first reinforcing rod 141 is connected to the side wall of the support groove 11, and the other side is connected to the side wall of the cavity 3, while the second reinforcing rod 143 is arranged at the other side of the support groove 11, one side of the second reinforcing rod 143 is connected to the other side wall of the support groove 11, and the other side is connected to the other side wall of the cavity 3, the triangular reinforcing block 142 is arranged beside the first reinforcing rod 141, and there are two of them, one end of the triangular reinforcing block 142 is connected to the top wall of the cavity 3, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the cavity 3.
[0027] The contact box 1 has a plug-in flange 131 at the heat dissipation hole 13, and the plug-in flange 131 is used for the insertion and installation of the exhaust pipe on the contact box 1. The contact box 1 is generally installed in the busbar room of the switchgear. One end of the exhaust pipe is plugged into the plug-in flange 131, and the other end is connected to the outside of the switchgear, so that the hot air generated inside and below the contact box 1 can be discharged to the outside of the switchgear through the heat dissipation hole 13 and the exhaust pipe.
[0028] The contact box 1 also includes a positioning pin 12, and the support groove 11 and the busbar 2 are provided with insertion holes for the positioning pin 12 to be inserted. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the busbar 2 and the contact box 1 are positioned by directly inserting the positioning pin 12 into the socket. The contact box 1 has a fixing ear 16 extending outward from the cavity 3. The fixing ear 16 is used to fix the contact box 1 in the switch cabinet, so that the contact box 1 can stably support the busbar 2.
[0029] The cavity 3 gradually increases in size from top to bottom along the direction of the support groove 11, and the size is largest at the lower opening 31. The shape of the cavity 3 allows the movable contact to enter the contact box 1 and engage with the stationary contact area 21 without being obstructed by the contact box 1, whether the movable contact enters the contact box 1 by extension or rotation.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown in the attached drawings of this application, the sidewalls of the contact box 1 on both sides of the support groove 11 are set as multi-level steps 15. The sidewalls of the steps 15 make the size of the cavity 3 gradually increase from the top to the bottom, and the size is largest at the lower opening 31. Setting it as multi-level steps 15 can not only increase the structural strength of the contact box 1, but also prevent the moving contact and the busbar 2 from being blocked by the contact box 1 when they are engaged.

The side wall of the support groove 11 extends outward from the top to the bottom, and the corresponding cavity 3 also gradually increases in size from the top to the bottom. The moving contact moves from the lower opening 31 into the cavity 3 and engages with the stationary contact area 21 of the busbar 2.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a vertical busbar 2 installation structure includes the aforementioned multifunctional contact box 1 and multiple busbars 2. The number of multifunctional contact boxes 1 is the same as the number of busbars 2. The busbars 2 are arranged vertically, and the contact boxes 1 are also arranged vertically, each corresponding to and supporting one of the busbars 2.
