The clamp plate is fixedly connected to the lower sides of the clamp body by a first bolt pair. The lower end face of the clamp body has a groove along the line direction. An elastic contact is fixed in the groove, and the lower end face of the elastic contact protrudes from the groove. The clamp body is set above the busbar, and the clamp plate clamps and fixes the clamp body to the top of the busbar, and makes the lower end face of the elastic contact abut against the top of the busbar.
[0005] Two grooves are provided.
[0006] The elastic contact element is a strip structure, and its two sides are riveted to the groove.
[0007] The elastic contact element is a spring sheet or a watch strap finger.

The groove is located on the bottom surface of the busbar positioning groove, and the clamp plate limiting groove is located on both sides of the busbar positioning groove. The positioning boss on the outer side of the clamp plate is inserted into the clamp plate limiting groove.
[0009] The lower end face of the clamp is provided with an anti-rotation groove along the line direction, and the bolt head of the first bolt pair is recessed in the anti-rotation groove.
[0010] The clamp body and the clamp plate are vertically provided with several connecting holes, and the lower end of the connecting holes is located in the anti-rotation groove. The first bolt pair passes through the connecting holes to fix the clamp plate to the bottom of the clamp body.
[0011] At least one connection hole should be reserved, through which a second bolt is passed to securely connect to the cable terminal.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This utility model ensures reliable contact between the busbar and the electrical connection clamp by setting an elastic contact element between the online clamp body and the top of the busbar, thus preventing arc burn-out, extending the service life of the busbar and the electrical connection clamp, and reducing operation and maintenance costs.
[0014] 2. The elastic contact of this utility model provides reliable contact force through its own elasticity, ensuring that the lower end face of the elastic contact is pressed against the top of the busbar, avoiding poor contact and arcing, achieving effective electrical transition and improving current carrying capacity.
[0015] 3. This utility model is easy to disassemble during maintenance and can avoid the elastic contact parts scratching the top surface of the busbar. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] A busbar electrical connection clamp includes a clamp body 1 and a clamp plate 2. The clamp plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower sides of the clamp body 1 by a first bolt pair 4. The lower end face of the clamp body 1 has a groove 1-1 formed along the line direction. An elastic contact 3 is fixed in the groove 1-1, and the lower end face of the elastic contact 3 protrudes from the groove 1-1. The clamp body 1 is disposed above the busbar 7. The clamp plate 2 clamps and fixes the clamp body 1 to the top of the busbar 7, and the lower end face of the elastic contact 3 abuts against the top of the busbar 7.
[0022] In one embodiment, two grooves 1-1 are provided.
[0023] In one embodiment, the elastic contact 3 is a strip structure, and its two sides are riveted to the groove 1-1. The elastic contact 3 is a spring sheet or a watch strap finger. The surfaces of both the spring sheet and the watch strap finger are silver-plated.
[0024] In one embodiment, the lower end face of the clamp body 1 is provided with a busbar positioning groove 1-2 and a clamp plate limiting groove 1-3 along the line direction. The groove 1-1 is located on the bottom surface of the busbar positioning groove 1-2, and the clamp plate limiting groove 1-3 is located on both sides of the busbar positioning groove 1-2. The positioning boss 2-1 on the outer side of the clamp plate 2 is inserted into the clamp plate limiting groove 1-3.
[0025] In one embodiment, the lower end face of the clamping plate 2 is provided with an anti-rotation groove 2-2 along the line direction, and the bolt head of the first bolt pair 4 is recessed in the anti-rotation groove 2-2.
[0026] In one embodiment, the clamp body 1 and the clamp plate 2 are vertically provided with a plurality of connecting holes 5, and the lower port of the connecting hole 5 is located in the anti-rotation groove 2-2. The first bolt pair 4 passes through the connecting hole 5 to fix the clamp plate 2 to the lower part of the clamp body 1.
[0027] In one embodiment, at least one connection hole 5 is reserved, through which a second bolt pair 8 passes and is fixedly connected to the terminal 6 of the cable 9.
[0028] In the above embodiments, the clamp body 1 and the clamp plate 2 are both made of aluminum alloy profiles, and the elastic contact 3 is made of copper alloy.
[0029] In use, the busbar positioning groove 1-2 at the lower end of the clamp body 1 is snapped into the top of the busbar, and is clamped and fixed to the top of the busbar 7 by the first bolt pair 4 along with the clamp plates 2 on both sides. The terminal 6 is placed above the clamp body 1, and is fixedly connected to the clamp body 1 by the second bolt pair 8 to complete the electrical connection, thereby enabling current conduction between the busbars through the cable. During line operation, the spring plate or watch strap contact finger provides a certain contact force through its own elasticity, ensuring that the busbar and the electrical connection clamp can still make reliable contact under long-term fatigue vibration, avoiding poor contact and arc burning, achieving effective electrical transition, increasing current carrying capacity, and extending the service life of the busbar 7 and the electrical connection clamp, reducing operation and maintenance costs. After a period of operation, the protruding part of the elastic contact 3 will embed into the top of the busbar. During maintenance and disassembly, the first bolt pair 4 and the second bolt pair 8 are removed, the clamp body 1 is separated from the clamp plate 2, and the clamp body 1 is removed from the top of the busbar, avoiding scratches on the top of the busbar.
