The bus module 100 includes a housing 1, a first bus 2, a second bus 3, an insulating strip 4, and a handle 5. The housing 1 has a length direction and includes a bottom plate 11 and two side plates 12. The two side plates 12 are connected to opposite sides of the bottom plate 11 extending along the length direction. The first bus 2 is disposed inside the housing 1 and extends along the length direction of the housing 1. The second bus 3 is disposed inside the housing 1 and extends along the length direction of the housing 1. The insulating strip 4 is sandwiched between the first bus 2 and the second bus 3 and extends along the length direction of the housing 1. The handle 5 is disposed on the outer surface of the side plate 12.
[0030] In this embodiment, the shape, material, and connection and positional relationships of the outer shell 1, first busbar 2, second busbar 3, and insulating strip 4 in this busbar module 100 are all common busbar modules 100 on the market, and are not further limited here. The number of handles 5 is at least one, for example, one, two, or more. The handles 5 can be made of metal, such as aluminum alloy, or hard plastic. When the busbar module 100 needs to be moved, workers can use the handles 5 to move it, which makes it easier to apply force and saves effort, reducing safety hazards.
[0031] The bus module 100 proposed by this utility model includes a housing 1, a first bus 2 and a second bus 3 disposed inside the housing 1, an insulating strip 4 sandwiched between the first bus 2 and the second bus 3, and at least one handle 5 disposed on the outer surface of the side plate 12 of the housing 1. The handling personnel can use the handle 5 to carry the bus module 100 with less effort and reduce safety hazards.
[0032] In an embodiment of this utility model, the number of grips 5 is at least two, with at least one grip 5 spaced apart on the outer surface of one side plate 12, and the remaining grips 5 spaced apart on the outer surface of the other side plate 12.
[0033] In this embodiment, there are at least two handles 5. Handles 5 are provided on the outer surfaces of both side plates 12, which allows at least two operators to simultaneously move the busbar module 100 on opposite sides, further saving manpower and reducing safety hazards.
[0034] In the embodiments of this utility model, the handle 5 and the side plate 12 are integrally formed, and the connection between the handle 5 and the side plate 12 is a continuous surface.
[0035] In this embodiment, the connection between the handle 5 and the side plate 12 is a continuous surface, and the surfaces of the handle 5 and the side plate 12 are integrally formed, so that the handle 5 has a good load-bearing capacity, preventing the handle 5 from detaching from the side plate 12 during transportation and reducing safety hazards.
[0036] In an embodiment of this utility model, the grip 5 is located on the side plate 12 away from the bottom plate 11.
[0037] In this embodiment, the handle 5 is located on the side plate 12 away from the bottom plate 11. When the handler moves the bus module 100 through the handle 5, the weight of the bus module 100 will be concentrated in the lower half, making it easier for the handler to move and reducing safety hazards.
[0038] In an embodiment of this utility model, the grip 5 includes a base 51 and a handle 52. The base 51 is disposed on the outer surface of the side plate 12, and the handle 52 is disposed on the base 51, forming an opening 53 for the hand to pass through with the surface of the base 51.
[0039] In this embodiment, the handle 5 includes a base 51 disposed on the side plate 12 and a handle 52 disposed on the base 51. The handle 52 and the base 51 enclose an opening 53 through which a hand can pass. The operator's hand can pass through the opening 53 to grasp the handle 52, thus achieving the effect of easy gripping.
[0040] In an embodiment of this utility model, the direction of the opening 53 is the width direction of the side plate 12.
[0041] In this embodiment, the direction of the opening 53 formed by the handle 52 and the base 51 is the width direction of the side plate 12, that is, the direction of the opening 53 is vertical. The handle 52 is set parallel to the central axis of the side plate 12, so that the hands of the handler can be inserted into the opening 53 from bottom to top, achieving the effect of saving effort in handling.
[0042] In an embodiment of this utility model, the distance between the grip 5 and the base plate 11 is greater than or equal to half the width of the side plate 12. Further, the distance between the grip 5 and the base plate 11 is greater than or equal to two-thirds the width of the side plate 12.
[0043] In this embodiment, the handle 5 is positioned on the side plate 12 away from the bottom plate 11. Specifically, the distance between the handle 5 and the bottom plate 11 is greater than or equal to 1 / 2 of the width of the side plate 12. For better results, the distance between the handle 5 and the bottom plate 11 is greater than or equal to 2 / 3 of the width of the side plate 12. When the handler moves the busbar module 100 through the handle 5, the weight of the busbar module 100 will be concentrated in the lower half, making it easier for the handler to move and reducing safety hazards.
[0044] In an embodiment of this utility model, the number of grips 5 is at least four and is an even number, and at least four grips 5 are symmetrically arranged on the outer surface of the two side plates 12.
