Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AC generator technology, specifically to a soft copper connection structure for an AC generator. Background Technology

[0002] The function of an AC generator is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is widely used in power systems, industrial production, and emergency power supply. The core function of the three-phase transfer component (i.e., rotor) in an AC generator is to generate a rotating magnetic field, which drives the stator windings to generate three-phase alternating current through the principle of electromagnetic induction. The three-phase transfer component is equipped with wires, which are mainly used to transmit current to generate the rotating magnetic field. In the existing technology, most of the wires are hard copper sheets. During use, after the hard copper sheets are welded to the three-phase transfer component, their positions are fixed, which cannot adapt to the connection of multiple modules in different installation positions. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect that most of the wires in the prior art are hard copper sheets. After the hard copper sheets are welded to the three-phase conversion components, their positions are fixed and they cannot adapt to the connection of multiple modules in different installation positions. Thus, a soft copper connection structure for AC generators that can adapt to the different installation positions of multiple modules is provided.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a flexible copper connection structure for an AC generator, including an adapter housing and a conductor structure disposed above the adapter housing. The conductor structure includes a flexible conductor, which is welded to the adapter housing. The side of the flexible conductor facing away from the adapter housing is connected to the motor stator.

[0005] Furthermore, the conductor structure also includes a first connecting copper busbar and a second connecting copper busbar respectively disposed at both ends of the flexible conductor. One end of the first connecting copper busbar is welded to the flexible conductor and the other end is welded to the adapter housing. One end of the second connecting copper busbar is welded to the flexible conductor and the other end is connected to the motor stator.

[0006] Furthermore: the first connecting copper busbar includes a first connecting block welded to the adapter housing and a first welding block welded to the flexible wire, the flexible wire being welded to the side wall of the first welding block.

[0007] Furthermore: the second connecting copper busbar includes a second connecting block connected to the electronic stator and a second welding block connected to the flexible wire, the flexible wire being welded to the side wall of the second welding block.

[0008] Furthermore: the first connecting block has a first side and a second side, and the flexible wire is welded to the first side and / or the second side.

[0009] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0010] 1. The wire structure provided by this utility model includes a flexible wire. One end of the flexible wire is welded to the adapter shell, and the other end is connected to the motor stator. During the assembly process, the flexible wire can be freely deformed. In this way, the flexible wire can not only meet the electrical connection requirements, but also realize the connection of multiple modules in different installation positions. Moreover, the soft area can be freely bent and shaped, saving space and reducing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0022] Example

[0023] This embodiment provides a flexible copper connection structure for an AC generator, including an adapter housing 1 and a conductor structure 2 disposed above the adapter housing 1. The conductor structure 2 includes a flexible conductor 21, which is welded to the adapter housing 1. The side of the flexible conductor 21 facing away from the adapter housing 1 is connected to the motor stator.

[0024] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, compared with the prior art, the conductor structure 2 includes a flexible conductor 21. One end of the flexible conductor 21 is welded to the adapter housing 1, and the other end is connected to the motor stator. During the assembly process, the flexible conductor 21 can be freely deformed. Thus, by setting the flexible conductor 21, both electrical connection and connection of multiple modules at different installation positions can be achieved. Moreover, the soft area can be freely bent and shaped, saving space and reducing costs.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments: the conductor structure 2 further includes a first connecting copper busbar 22 and a second connecting copper busbar 23 respectively disposed at both ends of the flexible conductor 21. One end of the first connecting copper busbar 22 is welded to the flexible conductor 21 and the other end is welded to the adapter housing 1. One end of the second connecting copper busbar 23 is welded to the flexible conductor 21 and the other end is connected to the motor stator.

[0026] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figures 1-4 As shown, the conductor structure 2 includes a flexible conductor 21 and a first connecting copper busbar 22 and a second connecting copper busbar 23 connected to the flexible conductor 21. Both the first connecting copper busbar 22 and the second connecting copper busbar 23 are rigid copper busbars. The first connecting copper busbar 22 is connected between the adapter housing 1 and the flexible conductor 21, and the second connecting copper busbar 23 is connected between the motor stator and the flexible conductor 21. By setting the first connecting copper busbar 22 and the second connecting copper busbar 23, the connection strength between the flexible conductor 21 and the adapter housing 1 and the motor stator can be increased, thus preventing the current from being unable to conduct.

[0027] Based on the above embodiments: the first connecting copper busbar 22 includes a first connecting block 25 welded to the adapter housing 1 and a first welding block 26 welded to the flexible wire 21, wherein the flexible wire 21 is welded to the side wall of the first welding block 26.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments: the second connecting copper busbar 23 includes a second connecting block 27 connected to the electronic stator and a second welding block 28 connected to the flexible wire 21, wherein the flexible wire 21 is welded to the side wall of the second welding block 28.

[0029] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows:

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the first welding block 26 and the first connecting block 25 are integrally formed. The first welding block 26 is welded to the adapter housing 1. One end of the flexible wire 21 is welded to the position directly above the first connecting block 25, and the other end is welded to the front of the second welding block 28.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the first welding block 26 and the first connecting block 25 are integrally formed. The first welding block 26 is welded to the adapter housing 1. One end of the flexible wire 21 is welded to the side of the first connecting block 25, and the other end is also welded to the side of the second welding block 28.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments: the first connecting block 25 has a first side 3 and a second side 4, and the flexible wire 21 is welded to the first side 3 and / or the second side 4.

[0035] The specific improvements mentioned above are as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, there are 3 flexible wires 21. The first wire is welded to the first side 3 of the first connecting block 25, and the second and third wires are welded to the second side 4 of the first connecting block 25. This can prevent the welding fixture from being unable to move due to excessive interference from the product during welding.

[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
