Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of copper busbar protective covers, specifically a novel copper busbar protective cover. Background Technology

[0002] Copper busbar protective covers, also known as copper busbar insulating sleeves or busbar trunking protective covers, are insulating devices used to cover and protect copper busbars. They are mainly used in power distribution systems, switch cabinets, transformers, and other equipment. Their function is to prevent copper busbars from being exposed to dust, moisture, foreign objects, or accidental contact, which could lead to short circuits, corrosion, or damage.

[0003] In existing technologies, copper busbar protective covers are made of insulating hard plastic. The protective covers have bolt-avoidance structures and buckles on both sides for fixing to the copper busbar, which can meet the protection needs of connecting copper busbars. However, with the development of science and technology, especially the widespread application of intelligent systems, modern UPS computer rooms use multi-layer intelligent monitoring systems to continuously and dynamically monitor and control the daily charging and discharging of battery packs and the health status of batteries. This results in a dense network of inspection lines on the battery packs. One end of each inspection line is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery, which is superimposed on the copper busbar. Existing copper busbar protective covers will cause the protective covers to be pushed up when copper busbars with inspection lines are added, making it impossible to hold the copper busbars in place. This makes the protective covers easy to fall off and fail to provide normal protection. Therefore, we need to propose a new type of copper busbar protective cover. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0027] A novel copper busbar protective cover, characterized in that it comprises:

[0028] Connecting copper busbar 1, and copper busbar protective cover body 2 connecting the top two ends of copper busbar 1;

[0029] The copper busbar protective cover body 2 is mainly composed of a protective top cover 21, an inspection line cover 22, and a protective side cover 23. The protective top cover 21, the inspection line cover 22, and the protective side cover 23 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The protective top cover 21, the inspection line cover 22, and the protective side cover 23 are integrally injection molded.

[0030] The inspection line cover 22 includes a cover plate 221 and two sets of connecting plates 222. The two sets of connecting plates 222 are located at both ends of the bottom of the cover plate 221. A cable outlet groove 5 is provided between the cover plate 221 and the two sets of connecting plates 222 for the inspection line to pass through.

[0031] Preferably, the extension lines of one end of the two sets of connecting plates 222 are intersecting, and one end of the guard plate 221 is provided with a semi-circular arc that fits the outer side of the protective top cover 21. Through the arrangement of the connecting plates 222 and the guard plate 221, the intersection of the extension lines of the two sets of connecting plates 222 can enhance the overall structural stability, make the inspection line cover 22 more evenly stressed, and prevent deformation. The semi-circular arc of the guard plate 221 can fit the shape of the protective top cover 21, improving the overall aesthetics and the continuity of protection.

[0032] Specifically, the top of the protective cover 21 is provided with a detection hole 3. The axis of the detection hole 3 is set on the same axis as the axis of the protective cover 21. By setting the detection hole 3, it is convenient to use the instrument probe to contact the battery terminal without disassembling the copper busbar protective cover body 2 during temporary manual testing, thereby improving testing efficiency. The alignment of the detection hole 3 with the axis of the protective cover 21 ensures that the detection hole 3 corresponds to the center of the connecting copper busbar 1, avoiding measurement errors and thus improving the accuracy of testing.

[0033] The cable outlet 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the protective top cover 21. The protective top cover 21 is a cylindrical hollow cover. Through the setting of the cable outlet 5 and the protective top cover 21, the cable outlet 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the protective top cover 21, which can flexibly accommodate inspection cables of different specifications, facilitate the installation of inspection cables, and avoid the exposure of the bare metal parts of the inspection cables, thus enhancing the protection of the inspection cables. The protective top cover 21 is a cylindrical hollow cover, which provides sufficient space inside the protective top cover 21 to completely accommodate the fixing bolts on the connecting copper busbar 1, preventing the fixing bolts from being exposed and preventing corrosion, loosening or short circuits caused by dust, moisture or collision with foreign objects.

[0034] Preferably, the protective side cover 23 includes an insulating top plate 231 and two sets of insulating baffles 232. The two sets of insulating baffles 232 are located at both ends of the bottom of the insulating top plate 231. The insulating top plate 231 and the two sets of insulating baffles 232 are arranged in a U-shape. The top of the insulating top plate 231 has a U-shaped groove 4 that communicates with the cable outlet groove 5. By setting the protective side cover 23, in which the insulating top plate 231 and the two sets of insulating baffles 232 are arranged in a U-shape, the top and sides of the connecting copper busbar 1 can be protected, enhancing lateral protection and preventing foreign objects from entering from the side. The U-shaped groove 4 can ensure that the inspection line passes smoothly and avoids cable bending or squeezing damage. The copper busbar protective cover body 2 is integrally formed, eliminating the seams of the traditional split structure, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength. Moreover, the copper busbar protective cover body 2 is made entirely of insulating material, which can isolate the connecting copper busbar 1 from contact with external metal, avoid short circuit accidents caused by foreign objects, and improve safety.

[0035] Furthermore, two sets of latches 6 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the two sets of insulating baffles 232. Each set of latches 6 has a guide part 7 at its lower end. The cross-section of the latches 6 is a right trapezoid. Through the setting of the latches 6 and the guide part 7, the latches 6 can effectively latch the edge of the connecting copper busbar 1, improve the snap-fit ​​firmness with the connecting copper busbar 1, and prevent loosening. The guide part 7 with the right trapezoidal cross-section forms a natural guiding slope, which automatically corrects the positional deviation between the copper busbar protective cover body 2 and the connecting copper busbar 1 during installation. There is no need to repeatedly observe or use tools to assist in alignment, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and realizing the rapid installation of the copper busbar protective cover body 2.

[0036] Each of the two sets of insulating baffles 232 is equipped with a pull plate 8 on the side opposite to the latch 6. The pull plate 8 has an L-shaped cross-section. An anti-detachment beam 9 is provided at the upper end of the pull plate 8 on the side opposite to the insulating baffle 232. With the pull plate 8 and the anti-detachment beam 9, the pull plates 8 on both sides provide a clear point of force application, which is convenient for fingers to pull. The L-shaped cross-section structure enhances the rigidity of the pull plate 8 and prevents it from breaking when force is applied. The short side of the L-shape serves as a fulcrum and the long side serves as a lever arm, so the latch 6 can be released with less force, thereby enabling the copper busbar protective cover body 2 to be quickly disassembled and improving the convenience of maintenance. At the same time, the anti-detachment beam 9 prevents the pull plate 8 from being accidentally loosened and enhances the safety of use.

[0037] In addition, one set of copper busbar protective cover body 2 is red, and the other set of copper busbar protective cover body 2 is blue. The copper busbar protective cover body 2 is distinguished by color, with red being the positive terminal and blue being the negative terminal. This allows for a direct distinction between different polarities, reduces the risk of misconnection, and complies with electrical safety regulations.

[0038] Furthermore, a limiting pin 10 is provided on the outer side of the protective top cover 21. A connecting ring 11 is fitted on the limiting pin 10, and a connecting rope 12 is provided on the connecting ring 11. A sealing plug 13 is inserted into the detection hole 3 at one end of the connecting rope 12. Through the setting of the limiting pin 10, connecting ring 11, connecting rope 12 and sealing plug 13, the limiting pin 10 and connecting ring 11 play a role in fixing the connecting rope 12, ensuring that the sealing plug 13 can be taken out and used at any time without affecting daily operation. The connection between the connecting rope 12 and the sealing plug 13 can ensure that the sealing plug 13 is always connected to the protective cover to avoid loss. When the detection hole 3 is not in use, the sealing plug 13 can be inserted into the detection hole 3 to prevent dust and water, thereby improving the protection level.

[0039] Working principle: When using this utility model, align the red copper busbar protective cover with the positive end of the connecting copper busbar 1 and the blue copper busbar protective cover with the negative end of the connecting copper busbar 1. Then, align the U-shaped protective side cover 23 in the copper busbar protective cover body 2 with the connecting copper busbar 1. Use the buckle 6 and guide part 7 to snap it in, so that the copper busbar protective cover body 2 can be quickly snapped onto the copper busbar. No tools are required during installation. At this time, the fixing bolt is located inside the protective top cover 21. The inspection line passes through the cable outlet 5 between the protective plate 221 and the connecting plate 222 and is connected. This can effectively cover the exposed metal position of the connecting copper busbar 1 and the inspection line, and can also be tightly snapped together with the connecting copper busbar 1 so that it will not fall off.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
