[0002] A sliding contact line is a power supply device, also known as a sliding contact transmission device or sliding conductor. It allows equipment to obtain power even when its position changes. Its principle is to lay a conductor parallel to the running track of the moving equipment and connect it to a power source. A current collector is installed on the moving equipment; as the equipment moves, the current collector operates synchronously, drawing power from the conductor to supply the equipment. It has wide applications in transportation equipment, automated production lines, urban rail transit, warehousing and logistics, and amusement parks.
[0003] The current collector is the core component of the sliding contact line, consisting of an insulating shell, brushes, and cables. The insulating shell encloses the brushes, and conductive connectors connect the brushes and cables. For safety reasons, current collectors require regular maintenance during use to prevent problems such as cable aging. Existing current collectors, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when cables age or need to be replaced with cables of different specifications, the insulation shell needs to be removed before installation, which is inefficient and not conducive to energy-saving production.
