Abstract

Provided is an electric connector for connecting electric equipment to a power device. The electric connector includes a connector body defining an outer appearance thereof, a connection bar disposed on the connector body to electrically the connect electric equipment to the power device, an insertion part disposed on the connector body, the insertion part being inserted into the electric equipment, and a sealing disposed on a shaft of the insertion part in a circumferential direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electric connector configured to electrically connect a housing of electric equipment to a power device, the electric connector comprising:
a connection bar disposed at a first end of the electric connector;
a first housing connection portion defined by an opening passing through the connection bar, wherein the first housing connection portion is configured to accommodate an inner fixing bolt of the housing such that the first housing connection portion is electrically connected to a corresponding second housing connection portion of the housing;
an insertion part connected to the connection bar and configured to engage with an insertion groove of the housing;
a sealing disposed along a circumference of a shaft of the insertion part; and
a power device connection portion disposed at a second end of the electric connector and configured to be inserted into the electric equipment and electrically connect to the electric equipment;
wherein the inner fixing bolt of the housing is configured to electrically connect the power device to the electric connector, and
wherein a diameter of the shaft of the insertion part is greater than a diameter of an insertion groove of the electric equipment, and a difference between the diameters is within a tolerance value to allow the insertion part to be press fitted to the insertion groove.

2. The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft of the insertion part comprises a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion having different diameters.

3. The electric connector according to claim 2 , wherein the shaft is configured in a circular shape or a rectangular shape with a rounded edge.
