Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment technology, specifically to a busbar connector. Background Technology

[0002] A busbar connector is a specialized connector used to connect copper busbars (buses) to equipment, cables, or other conductors. Its core function is to achieve efficient and stable power transmission. Busbar connectors typically consist of a female connector and matching components. The female connector is usually a recessed structure with internal insertion holes or slots for precise mating with male connectors or other copper busbar ends.

[0003] The utility model discloses a busbar trunking insert with the strip-shaped gaps that allow for self-adjustment of the busbar trunking, ensuring contact pressure during installation and normal operation. Furthermore, the T-shaped fixing seat effectively secures the busbar trunking, resulting in better installation stability and strong practicality.

[0004] In addition to the advantages mentioned above, this utility model patent still has some shortcomings: the device adopts a riveted fixing structure, which may cause the parts to loosen after long-term use, resulting in insufficient clamping force. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a busbar connector.

[0006] According to the present invention, a busbar connector includes a connector housing, contacts, and springs. The connector housing has a through slot in the middle. Two symmetrical central cylinders are fixedly installed in the middle of the inner slot of the connector housing. Contacts are provided between the two central cylinders and the top and bottom of the inner slot of the connector housing, respectively. Springs are provided between the two contacts and the top and bottom of the inner slot of the connector housing, respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the connector housing is shaped like a square.

[0008] Preferably, the slotted front port of the connector housing is used to accommodate the busbar, and the slotted rear port of the connector housing is used to accommodate the connecting copper busbar.

[0009] Preferably, the contact point is an H-shaped obtuse-angled fold.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the contact point are connected by an arc-shaped extension.

[0011] Preferably, the connector housing has a fixing groove corresponding to the extension on both the top and bottom surfaces of the inner groove.

[0012] Preferably, the width of the fixing groove is greater than the thickness of the extension.

[0013] Preferably, the bending angle of the spring is smaller than the bending angle of the contact point.

[0014] Preferably, an anti-slip strip is fixedly installed on the middle of the side of the spring piece near the inner wall of the connector housing groove.

[0015] Preferably, the contacts and springs are both disposed inside the connector housing cavity.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] When in use, this utility model uses a bent spring to apply elastic deformation pressure to the contact points set on the central cylinder, thereby solving the loosening problem caused by long-term use of traditional riveting processes, enhancing the service life of busbar connectors, and enabling quick assembly and disassembly of busbars, thus increasing practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Other features, objects, and advantages of this invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of non-limiting embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] The present invention provides a busbar connector, including a connector housing 1, contacts 2 and springs 3. The connector housing 1 has a through slot in the middle. Two symmetrical central cylinders are fixedly installed in the middle of the inner slot of the connector housing 1. Contacts 2 are provided between the two central cylinders and the top and bottom of the inner slot of the connector housing 1, respectively. Springs 3 are provided between the two contacts 2 and the top and bottom of the inner slot of the connector housing 1, respectively.

[0025] The connector housing 1 is shaped like a square. The front port of the connector housing 1 is used to accommodate the busbar 5, and the rear port of the connector housing 1 is used to accommodate the connecting copper busbar 4.

[0026] Contact 2 is an H-shaped obtuse-angled fold. Both ends of contact 2 are connected to an extension in an arc shape. The extension can effectively reduce the scratches on the busbar surface caused by the contact 2 body. The top and bottom surfaces of the inner groove of the connector housing 1 are provided with fixing grooves corresponding to the extension. The width of the fixing groove is greater than the thickness of the extension, so that the extension can still be positioned in the fixing groove when the contact 2 rotates around the central cylinder. The contact 2 is restricted to slide in the fixing groove by the extension, preventing the contact 2 from sliding out through the groove of the connector housing 1.

[0027] The bending angle of the spring 3 is smaller than that of the contact 2, thus ensuring that the spring 3 can apply pressure to the contact 2 using its own elasticity, ensuring that the contact 2 is stably clamped to the busbar 5. An anti-slip strip is fixedly installed on the middle of the side of the spring 3 near the inner wall of the slot of the connector housing 1. The protective strip contacts the inner wall of the slot of the connector housing 1. The protective strip serves as the fulcrum of the spring 3. The spring 3 undergoes elastic deformation and can apply pressure to the contact 2, ensuring that the front and rear ends of the contact 2 can tightly contact and connect the copper busbar 4 and the busbar 5, respectively, to achieve stable power supply.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] In use, this utility model involves inserting the connecting copper busbar 4 into the slotted front port of the connector housing 1 and the busbar 5 into the slotted rear port of the connector housing 1. The spring 3 is reset by its own elastic deformation, and the protective strip serves as the fulcrum of the spring 3. The spring 3 can apply pressure to the contact 2, and the contact 2 rotates around the central cylinder, thereby ensuring that the front and rear ends of the contact 2 can tightly contact the connecting copper busbar 4 and the busbar 5 respectively, thus achieving stable power supply.
