Description
- This invention relates to a bus bar connecting terminal and, more particularly, to a bus bar connecting terminal for connecting a plurality of bus bars to the terminals of circuit breakers and other electrical devices through which a large electric current flows, as well as a method for producing a bus bar connecting terminal.
- Fig. 7 is a schematic front view showing a drawer-type circuit breaker having conventional bus bar connecting terminals, Fig. 8 is a schematic side view of the bus bar connecting terminals of Fig. 7 in a bus bar omitted state, Fig. 9 is a front view showing the conventional bus bar connecting terminal shown in Fig. 7, Fig. 10 is a plan view of Fig. 9, Fig. 11 is a dissected front view of the bus bar connecting terminal of Fig. 9, Fig. 12 is a front view of Fig. 11, Fig. 13 is a front view of the conventional bus bar connecting terminal shown in Fig. 7 in a bus bar connected state, and Fig. 14 is a plan view of Fig. 13.
- In Figs. 7 and 8, a drawer-
type circuit breaker 10, or an electrical device through which a large electric current flows, comprises adrawer frame 10a and a circuit breaker 10b mounted within thedrawer frame 10a, in which thedrawer frame 10a is provided with amounting base 10c made of a synthetic resin for holding busbar connecting terminals 30. Although not illustrated, the terminals of the circuit breaker 10b are connected to the inner end of each of the busbar connecting terminals 30 held by themounting base 10c. Themounting base 10c is provided with abackup plate 40 for preventing themounting base 10c from being broken by an action of an electromagnetic force induced in the directions shown by the arrows in Fig. 8 by an excessive electric current during short-circuiting and other faults between the busbar connecting terminals 30 connected to each pole of thedrawer frame 10a. Thebackup plate 40 also prevents themounting base 10c from being broken upon the action thereon of an excessive load due to the weights of thebus bars 50 being connected to each busbar connecting terminal 30 following the connection of thebus bars 50 to the busbar connecting terminals 30. - In general, bus bar connecting terminals used in circuit breakers with large capacities, say 4,000 - 6,300 ampere frames, have a structure as shown in Figs. 9 to 14, which is a vertically converting structure including vertical and horizontal portions for eliminating temperature rises due to thermal convection occurring between the load side terminals (not shown) of the circuit breaker 10b and the
bus bars 50, the structure being formed by connectingvertical terminals 33 tohorizontal terminals 31 by the braze welding or the like. - As best seen from Figs. 11 and 12, the
horizontal terminal 31 hasfirst positioning grooves 31 a for fitting thevertical terminals 33 at U-shapednotches 33b thereof, a plurality offitting holes 31 b for screw-fastening to thebackup plate 40 and notches 31c for fitting into themounting base 10c. - The
vertical terminals 33 have a plurality of fitting holes 33a for screw-fastening thebus bars 50 by bus bar connecting screws (not illustrated) to be described later and theU-shaped notches 33b for fittting to thehorizontal terminal 31. - In the conventional bus bar connecting terminals of this configuration, for the purpose of connecting with standard bus bars, interval L1 (Fig. 10) among the plurality of
vertical terminals 33 is set at a dimension larger than the thickness of the standard bus bars that is determined by the rated current. For instance, for connecting with the standard bus bars having a thickness of 10mm (L0), interval L1 among thevertical terminals 33 is set in a range of from 10.5mm to 11.5mm with a slight clearance given. While, the thickness of thevertical terminals 33 should never be smaller than thickness L0 because it is necessary to give among thebus bars 50 an interval that must be identical with thickness L0 of thebus bars 50 at the smallest (see Fig. 14). - Thus, when the
bus bars 50 are inserted in the spaces among thevertical terminals 33 of thebus bar terminal 30 and then fastened withbolts 60 andnuts 65 for connecting bus bars to bring thevertical terminals 33 into contact with thebus bars 50 tightly as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, thevertical terminals 33 are bent and deformed as shown in Fig. 14. In this state, the section in thevertical terminals 33 that is in contact with thebus bars 50 is limited to section S2 covering the distance from one end of thevertical terminal 33 to the bending position thereof, rather than section S1 covering fully the distance in which thevertical terminals 33 lie alongside thebus bars 50, thus reducing the area of electrical contact from that provided duly upon contacting of these conductors. This could therefore cause an increase in the electrical contact resistance between thebus bars 50 and thevertical terminals 33. Furthermore, the heat generated within the circuit breaker 10b does not readily dissipate tho thebus bars 50 via the busbar connecting terminals 30, leading to a difficulty in attaining a satisfactory cooling of thecircuit breaker 10. Such a connecting terminal is disclosed in JP 52 155271 U. - In addition, in order to allow the plurality of
bus bars 50 to be connected, as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the plurality ofpositioning grooves 31 a must be formed in thehorizontal terminals 31, and the plurality ofvertical terminals 33 each having the holes 33a and thenotches 33b must be manufactured, and moreover all these components must be braze-jointed to each other, so that the manufacturing cost for the busbar connecting terminal 30 is disadvantageously high. - The present invention therefore has as its object the provision of a bus bar connecting terminal that is free from the problems discussed above, and the provision of a bus bar connecting terminal ensuring a stable and good electric and thermal connective relationship between bus bars and bus bar connecting terminals.
- The present invention also has as its object the provision of an efficient method for producing a bus bar connecting terminal.
- The above objects are solved by the bus bar connecting terminal as described in claim 1 and the method for producing a bus bar connecting terminal as described in claim 2.
- (1) The bus bar connecting terminal of the present invention comprising, in order to achieve the above objects, a conductor section to be electrically connected to an electrical apparatus, a plurality of connecting plate sections to be connected to a plurality of bus bars by alternating with each other, and a support section for connecting and supporting each other the conductor section and the connecting plate sections, the plurality of connecting plate sections being separated from each other at an interval larger than the thickness of the bus bars; characterized in that a flexible section is provided between the connecting plate sections and the support section.
- (2) The flexible section has a thickness less than that of the connecting plate sections, and
- (3) the support section may be the one being connected with the conductor section at one end and with a plurality of connecting plate sections at the other having the flexible section being disposed inbetween to form a conductor block.
- (4) In addition, the support section and the connecting plate sections are formed as a continuous integral conductor block.
- (5) Furthermore, according to the inventive method, the conductor block is formed by cutting an extrusion-molded material having a cross-section in a shape comprising the support section, the connecting plate section and the flexible section.

In these figures, Fig. 1 is a front view showing one embodiment of the bus bar connecting terminal of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bus bar connecting terminal of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is an exploded front view showing the disassembled bus bar connecting terminal of Fig. 1, Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the vertical terminal of Fig. 1, Fig. 5 is a front view showing a state in which the bus bar connecting terminal of Fig. 1 is connected with a bus bar and Fig. 6 is a plan view of the bus bar connecting terminal of Fig. 5.
- In these figures, the bus
bar connecting terminal 70 of this invention comprises aconductor section 71 to be electrically connected to an electrical apparatus such as a circuit breaker (see Fig. 7), a plurality of connectingplate sections 73 which are separated in parallel from each other and connected to a plurality ofbus bars 50 in an alternatingly juxtaposed relationship with each other, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, and asupport section 72 having one end rigidly connected and supported to theconductor section 71 by way of brazing or the like and the other end supporting the plurality of connectingplate sections 73 in parallel, thereby connecting and supporting theconductor section 71 and the connectingplate sections 73 each other. - While the
conductor section 71 has similar structures to those shown in Figs. 7 - 14, such as thenotches 71c andholes 71b for the connection to the unillustrated electrical devices, theend portion 71a connected to thesupport section 72 has no grooves or the like and is accommodated by thegrooves 72e formed in thesupport section 72 and firmly secured thereto by brazing or the like. - In the illustrated example, the
support section 72 is formed as a single conductor block member and is different from the corresponding section of the conventional connecting terminals shown in Figs. 7 - 14 that composed of a plurality of plate members. In addition, thegroove 72e is formed for accepting theconductor section 71 therein. - Each of the plurality of connecting
plate sections 73 has, as best seen from Fig. 4, a thickness L1 which is at least equal to a thickness L0 of thebus bar 50 to be connected thereto, and thickness L1 is set in a suitable dimension range so that thebus bars 50 after being connected are separated at a not-too-small interval. Further, interval L2 among the connectingplate sections 73 is set at an interval that is slightly larger than thickness L0 of thebus bar 50 for an ease of the insertion of thebus bar 50. In addition, abolt hole 73d is formed for fastening thebus bars 50 inserted between the connectingplate sections 73 by the unillustrated bolts and nuts. - According to the present invention, each of the connecting
plate sections 73 has acontact area section 73b of size S3 (Figs. 4 and 6) large enough to provide an electrically and thermally sufficient contact area, and is supported by thesupport section 72 through aflexible section 74. Theflexible section 74 is a thin section having thickness L3 which is less than thickness L1 of the connectingplate sections 73. Theflexible section 74 serves, as understood by comparing Figs. 4 and 6, as a section to cause a tight contacting with thebus bar 50 of the entire area of thecontact section 73b being expressed by reference character S3 of the connectingplate sections 73 because theflexible section 74 readily deflects and deforms when the bus bars 50 having thickness L0 are interposed with the connectingplate sections 73 and fastened by fastening members such asbolts 60 and nuts 65. There would therefore be neither an increase in the electric contact resistance between the bus bars 50 and the connectingplate sections 73 nor any hindrance to the movement of the heat generated in the interval, thus ensuring a full dispersion of the heat from the circuit breaker 10b or other electrical machinery and apparatus. Although theflexible section 74 in the illustrated example is formed to give agroove 73c having roughly circular cross section, it causes no specific trouble if the groove has a cross section of polygons such as rectangle or of oval. - The
support section 72, the connectingplate sections 73 and theflexible section 74 are formed as a continuousintegral conductor block 75, and in the illustrated example, theconductor block 75 is the one formed by cutting and processing a long extrusion molding material having a cross section in the shape as shown in Fig. 4 composed of thesupport section 72, the connectingplate sections 73 and theflexible section 74 to have predetermined dimensions suitable for a bus bar connecting terminal. Thus, the manufacturing processes so far needed, or the manufacture of a plurality ofhorizontal terminals 31 as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the forming of a plurality ofpositioning grooves 31a therefor, the manufacture of a plurality ofvertical terminals 33 each having the holes 33a and thenotches 33b, and the assembling by brazing-joining of all these many parts, can be eliminated, and additionally the manufacturing cost of the bus bar connecting terminal is lowered and the conductor blocks in such connecting terminals are highly reliable because they are not assembled ones. - While the bus bar connecting terminals for connecting bus bars to a circuit breaker has been explained as an example, it is needless to say that the bus bar connecting terminal of this invention can be also applied to other electric devices such as electromagnetic contactors, switches which are generally connected to bus bars.
- As described, the bus bar connecting terminal according to the present invention is particularly useful as a bus bar connecting terminal for connecting the plurality of bus bars to the terminals of an electric device such as a circuit breaker through which a large electric current flows.
