The invention discloses an electrical terminal ground structure and an installation method. The electrical terminal ground structure is characterized in that a bolt is provided with a wedge-shaped head and a threaded section, a shrink-ring is provided with a wedge-shaped face sleeve and a
flange, and the wedge-shaped head is sleeved with the sleeve; the external
round face of the sleeve is in tight fit with an installation hole of a
ground plate in the radial direction; a lock nut and a spacer are installed outside the threaded section; an electrical terminal is axially installed between the
flange and the spacer, and an axially screwed nut enables the electrical terminal to make tight contact with the
flange of the shrink-ring. The bolt is made of stainless steel, and the shrink-ring is made of aluminum
alloy or
copper alloy. The installation method comprises the steps that after the surfaces of the bolt and the sleeve are processed, the wedge-shaped head is sleeved with the sleeve, the sleeve is inserted into the installation hole, the bolt is screwed in a riveting device for riveting, and then the bolt is sleeved with the electrical terminal and the nut until
axial compression is achieved. The test shows that by the adoption of the structure and size optimization, the properties such as pulling-out force, rotational torque, leakage, a resistance value,
impact resistance and vibration resistance can meet the requirements. The existing
welding defects are overcome, the connection problem caused when an existing
ground plate is made of a
composite material is solved, and the electrical terminal ground structure is applied to high-speed trains, railway tracks, buildings and the like and meets the property requirement of ground structures under the complex conditions.
