Abstract

In a busbar assembly, a first busbar subassembly includes a first transmission unit having a first transmission busbar with a uniform width, and a first output unit having a first output busbar with a uniform width. One of the first transmission unit and the first output unit has a bent structure with a bend line perpendicular to a line of a lengthwise direction thereof. A second busbar subassembly includes a second transmission unit having a second transmission busbar with a uniform width, and a second output unit having a second output busbar with a uniform width. One of the second transmission unit and the second output unit has a bent structure with a bend line perpendicular to a line of a lengthwise direction thereof.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A busbar assembly, comprising:
a first busbar subassembly including
a first transmission unit including at least one first transmission busbar that is elongated lengthwise along a left-right direction and that lies in a horizontal plane, said at least one first transmission busbar having a uniform width, and
a first output unit connected to said at least one first transmission busbar and including a first output busbar that is elongated lengthwise along a front-rear direction and that lies in a vertical plane, said first output busbar having a uniform width, said first transmission unit having a bent structure formed with a bend line perpendicular to a line of a lengthwise direction thereof; and

a second busbar subassembly including
a second transmission unit spaced apart from said first transmission unit in a top-bottom direction, and including at least one second transmission busbar that is elongated lengthwise along the left-right direction and that lies in a horizontal plane, said at least one second transmission busbar having a uniform width, and
a second output unit connected to said at least one second transmission busbar, and including a second output busbar that is elongated lengthwise along the front-rear direction and that lies in a vertical plane, said second output busbar having a uniform width, one of said second transmission unit and said second output unit having a bent structure formed with a bend line perpendicular to a line of a lengthwise direction thereof;
wherein said at least one first transmission busbar has the bent structure bent into an L-shape, and includes a first horizontal plate portion and a first vertical plate portion, said first horizontal plate portion extending lengthwise in the left-right direction and having a short side, said first vertical plate portion bending perpendicularly from said short side, said first vertical plate portion being connected to said first output unit; and
wherein said at least one first transmission busbar includes two first transmission busbars space apart from each other in the left-right direction.

2. The busbar assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said short sides of said two first transmission busbars are proximate to each other, said first vertical plate portions of said two first transmission busbars bending downwardly and respectively from said short side, said first output busbar being a vertical plate, said first vertical plate portions of said two first transmission busbars being respectively connected to two opposite vertical sides of said first output busbar.

3. The busbar assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of spaced-apart electronic connector assemblies located between said at least one first transmission busbar and said at least one second transmission busbar.

4. A busbar assembly, comprising:
a first busbar subassembly including
a first transmission unit including at least one first transmission busbar that is elongated lengthwise along a left-right direction and that lies in a horizontal plane, said at least one first transmission busbar having a uniform width, and
a first output unit connected to said at least one first transmission busbar and including a first output busbar that is elongated lengthwise along a front-rear direction and that lies in a vertical plane, said first output busbar having a uniform width, one of said first transmission unit and said first output unit having a bent structure formed with a bend line perpendicular to a line of a lengthwise direction thereof; and

a second busbar subassembly including
a second transmission unit spaced apart from said first transmission unit in a top-bottom direction, and including at least one second transmission busbar that is elongated lengthwise along the left-right direction and that lies in a horizontal plane, said at least one second transmission busbar having a uniform width, and
a second output unit connected to said at least one second transmission busbar, and including a second output busbar that is elongated lengthwise along the front-rear direction and that lies in a vertical plane, said second output busbar having a uniform width, said second output unit having a bent structure formed with a bend line perpendicular to a line of a lengthwise direction thereof;
wherein said at least one second transmission busbar is a horizontal plate, said second output unit further including a second output adaptor busbar having the bent structure, said second output adaptor busbar being bent into an L-shape and connected to said at least one second transmission busbar and said second output busbar;
wherein said at least one second transmission busbar is located below said first transmission unit in a space apart manner, said second output adaptor busbar including an adaptor horizontal plate portion and an adaptor vertical plate portion, said adaptor horizontal plate portion being connected to a top surface of said at least one second transmission busbar and having a lateral side extending along the front-rear direction, said adaptor vertical plate portion bending upwardly from said lateral side, said second output busbar being a vertical plate connected to said adaptor vertical plate portion.

5. A cabinet, comprising:
a cabinet body having an accommodating space opening at a front end of said cabinet body;
two main busbars disposed in said accommodating space in proximity to a rear end of said cabinet body and connected to said cabinet body, each of said main busbars being elongated lengthwise along a top-bottom direction; and
a centralized power supply module disposed in said accommodating space and connected to said cabinet body, said centralized power supply module including a busbar assembly that includes
a first busbar subassembly including a first transmission unit and a first output unit, said first transmission unit including at least one first transmission busbar that is elongated lengthwise along a left-right direction, that lies in a horizontal plane, and that has a uniform width, said first output unit being connected to said at least one first transmission busbar and including a first output busbar that is elongated lengthwise along a front-rear direction, that lies in a vertical plane, and that has a uniform width, said first output busbar being electrically coupled to one of said main busbars, said first transmission unit having a bent structure provided with a bend line perpendicular to a line of a lengthwise direction thereof, and
a second busbar subassembly including a second transmission unit and a second output unit, said second transmission unit being disposed spaced apart from said first transmission unit in the top-bottom direction, and including at least one second transmission busbar that is elongated lengthwise along the left-right direction, that lies in a horizontal plane, and that has a uniform width, said second output unit being connected to said at least one second transmission busbar, and including a second output busbar that is elongated lengthwise along the front-rear direction, that lies in a vertical plane, and that has a uniform width, said second output busbar being electrically coupled to another one of said main busbars, one of said second transmission unit and said second output unit having a bent structure provided with a bend line perpendicular to a line of lengthwise direction thereof;
wherein said at least one first transmission busbar has the bent structure bent into an L-shape, and includes a first horizontal plate portion and a first vertical plate portion, said first horizontal plate portion extending lengthwise in the left-right direction and having a short side, said first vertical plate portion bending perpendicularly from said short side, said first vertical plate por
