Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Busbar connectors are common components in switchgear. During installation, the busbar connector needs to be installed alongside the busbar trunking. This typically requires tightly clamping the connector tabs on the busbar connector to the connector tabs on the busbar trunking. Currently, busbar connectors usually require workers to use tools to tighten screws for fixation. However, some newer busbar connectors used in switchgear lack limiting components. Over time, the screws and nuts may loosen due to vibrations, causing the busbar connections inside the connector to become loose and resulting in poor circuit contact. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem that some existing busbar connectors for switchgear lack limiting components, and that screws and nuts may loosen due to carrier vibration during prolonged use, leading to loose busbar connections and poor circuit contact, the purpose of this invention is to provide a novel busbar connector for switchgear.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a novel busbar connector for switchgear, comprising two baffles, a sliding groove fixedly installed between the two baffles, a plurality of equally spaced insulating plates passing through the sliding groove, conductive plates fixedly installed on both sides of the insulating plates, and the sliding groove inserted through the conductive plates, a bidirectional lead screw rotatably installed in the sliding groove, and the bidirectional lead screw threaded into the two outermost insulating plates, a knob fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional lead screw, the knob having an internal hexagonal groove, a limiting component installed on the outer side of one baffle, the limiting component including a ratchet, the ratchet fixedly installed on the knob, a locking strip hinged to the outer side of one baffle, one end of the locking strip being able to be locked into the corresponding tooth groove on the ratchet, and a spring telescopic rod fixedly installed on the outer side of one baffle, one end of the spring telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the locking strip.

[0005] Preferably, a protective component is installed on the outer side of the baffle with the limiting component installed in one of the two baffles. The protective component includes a fixed frame, which is fixedly installed on the outer side of the corresponding baffle, and the limiting component is located inside the fixed frame. A sliding plate is slidably installed on the fixed frame, and a lever is fixedly installed on the outer side of the sliding plate. Guide grooves are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the outer side of the fixed frame, and a fixed rod is fixedly installed in each of the two guide grooves. A first spring is sleeved on each of the two fixed rods. Two symmetrically distributed sliders are fixedly installed on the back of the sliding plate, and the sliders are slidably installed in the corresponding guide grooves, and the fixed rods are inserted through the corresponding sliders.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0007] 1. In this utility model, by setting a limiting component, the knob and the bidirectional lead screw can be prevented from reversing, thereby preventing the conductive plate from becoming loose due to vibration and causing poor circuit contact.

[0008] 2. In this utility model, by setting a protective component, the limiting component can be protected to prevent outsiders from accidentally touching the limiting component or impurities from falling into the tooth groove of the ratchet, thereby affecting the function of the limiting component.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Example: Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a novel busbar connector for switchgear, including two baffles 1, with a slide groove 2 fixedly installed between the two baffles 1. Multiple insulating plates 3 are equidistantly distributed and sleeved through the slide groove 2. Conductive plates 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the insulating plates 3, and the slide groove 2 is inserted through the conductive plates 4. A bidirectional lead screw 9 is rotatably installed in the slide groove 2, and the bidirectional lead screw 9 is threaded into the two outermost insulating plates 3. A knob 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional lead screw 9, and an internal hexagonal groove 8 is formed in the knob 7. A knob 7 is installed on the outer side of one of the baffles 1. A limiting component 6 is installed, which includes a ratchet 601 fixedly mounted on a knob 7. A retaining strip 602 is hinged to the outer side of one of the baffles 1, and one end of the retaining strip 602 can be engaged in the corresponding tooth groove on the ratchet 601. A spring telescopic rod 603 is fixedly mounted to the outer side of one of the baffles 1, and one end of the spring telescopic rod 603 is fixedly connected to the retaining strip 602. The spring telescopic rod 603 consists of a telescopic rod and a spring, with the spring sleeved on the telescopic rod. During installation, the busbar connector can be inserted between two adjacent conductive plates 4 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown), then use an Allen wrench to insert into the Allen socket 8 on the knob 7, causing the knob 7 to rotate. The knob 7 drives the double-acting screw 9 to rotate, and the double-acting screw 9 drives the two outermost insulating plates 3 and the corresponding conductive plates 4 to move towards each other, thereby gradually reducing the distance between the two adjacent insulating plates 3 and the conductive plates 4 to clamp the busbar connector. At the same time as the knob 7 rotates, it drives the ratchet 601 to rotate (counterclockwise). The elastic force of the spring telescopic rod 603 keeps one end of the locking strip 602 locked in the tooth groove on the ratchet 601, which can prevent the ratchet 601, the knob 7, and the double-acting screw 9 from reversing, thereby preventing the conductive plates 4 from loosening due to vibration and causing poor circuit contact.

[0020] Two guide rods 10 are fixedly installed between the two baffles 1, and the guide rods 10 are inserted through the insulating plate 3. Multiple second springs 11 are equidistantly distributed on both guide rods 10, and the second springs 11 are located between two adjacent insulating plates 3, so that the insulating plate 3 slides along the guide rods 10. The second springs 11 can make a certain gap between the two adjacent insulating plates 3 and the conductive plate 4, which facilitates the quick insertion of the busbar connector.

[0021] Two baffles 1 with limit components 6 are installed on the outer side of the baffles 1, and protective components 5 are installed on the outer side of the baffles 1. The protective components 5 include a fixed frame 501, which is fixedly installed on the outer side of the corresponding baffle 1, and the limit components 6 are located inside the fixed frame 501. A sliding plate 502 is slidably installed on the fixed frame 501, and a lever 503 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the sliding plate 502. Guide grooves 504 are opened at both the upper and lower ends of the outer side of the fixed frame 501. A fixing rod 505 is fixedly installed in each of the two guide grooves 504. A first spring 506 is sleeved on each of the two fixing rods 505. Two symmetrically distributed levers are fixedly installed on the back of the sliding plate 502. The slider 507 is slidably installed in the corresponding guide groove 504, and the fixing rod 505 is inserted through the corresponding slider 507. The protective component 5 can be used to protect the limiting component 6, preventing outsiders from accidentally touching the limiting component 6 or impurities from falling into the tooth groove of the ratchet 601, thereby affecting the function of the limiting component 6. The sliding plate 502 can be slid open by the lever 503 through the slider 507 along the fixing rod 505 in the guide groove 504, and the first spring 506 can be squeezed. When the lever 503 is released, the rebound force of the first spring 506 can be used to reset the sliding plate 502, thus protecting the limiting component 6.

[0022] Working principle: When using this utility model, the busbar connector can be inserted between two adjacent conductive plates 4 (e.g., Figure 4(As shown), then the sliding plate 502 is driven by the lever 503 to slide open along the fixed rod 505 in the guide groove 504 via the slider 507, and the first spring 506 is squeezed. Then, an internal hexagon tool is inserted into the internal hexagon slot 8 on the knob 7 to drive the knob 7 to rotate. The knob 7 drives the double-acting screw 9 to rotate. The double-acting screw 9 drives the two outermost insulating plates 3 and the corresponding conductive plates 4 to move towards each other, thereby gradually reducing the distance between the two adjacent insulating plates 3 and the conductive plates 4 to clamp the busbar connector. While the knob 7 is rotating, it drives the... When the ratchet 601 rotates (counterclockwise), the elastic force of the spring telescopic rod 603 keeps one end of the locking bar 602 locked in the tooth groove on the ratchet 601. This prevents the ratchet 601 and the knob 7 from reversing, thus preventing the conductive plate 4 from becoming loose due to vibration and causing poor circuit contact. After installation, releasing the lever 503 allows the sliding plate 502 to reset using the rebound force of the first spring 506, thus shielding and protecting the limiting component 6. This prevents outsiders from accidentally touching the limiting component 6 or impurities from falling into the tooth groove of the ratchet 601, which would affect the function of the limiting component 6.

The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
