Abstract

A structure of a bus bar assembly for a power supply module is provided. The structure includes a bus bar main body having a first plate and a second plate wherein the first plate is at a specific angle with the second plate, and a plurality of bus bar joints connected to the first plate wherein each of the bus bar joints includes two clipper sheets for providing a clipping force. Such structure has the advantages of more flexibility, less consuming time, less space occupied and better electrical conductivity.

Claims

1. A structure of a bus bar assembly for a power supply comprising:

a bus bar main body having a first plate and a second plate wherein said first plate is at a specific angle with said second plate; and

a plurality of bus bar joints connected to said first plate wherein each of said bus bar joints is two clipper sheets for providing a clipping force.

2. The structure according to claim 1, wherein said first plate, said second plate and said clipper sheets are made of copper.

3. The structure according to claim 1, wherein said specific angle is in a range from 30 to 180 degree.

4. The structure according to claim 3, wherein said angle is in a range from 45 to 135 degree.

5. The structure according to claim 4, wherein said two clipper sheets are integrally formed with said first plate.

6. The structure according to claim 3, wherein said angle is in a range from 60 to 120 degree.

7. The structure according to claim 1, wherein said two clipper sheets are connected to said first plate by using a fastening element.

8. The structure according to claim 7, wherein said fastening element is one selected from a group consisting of a bolt, a screw and an engagement.

9. The structure according to claim 1, wherein each of said two clipper sheets is respectively fixed on said first plate by using a plurality of fixing elements to prevent said two clipper sheets from moving.

10. The structure according to claim 9, wherein said fixing element is one selected from a group consisting of a pin, a bolt and a screw.

11. A structure of a bus bar assembly for a power supply comprising:

a bus bar main body having a first plate and a second plate wherein said first plate is perpendicular to said second plate; and

a plurality of bus bar joints connected to said first plate wherein each of said bus bar joints is two clipper sheets for providing a clipping force.

12. The structure according to claim 11, wherein said first plate, said second plate and said clipper sheets are made of copper.

13. The structure according to claim 12, wherein said two clipper sheets are integrally formed with said first plate.

14. The structure according to claim 11, wherein said two clipper sheets are connected to said first plate by using a fastening element.

15. The structure according to claim 14, wherein said fastening element is one selected from a group consisting of a bolt, a screw and an engagement.

16. The structure according to claim 11, wherein each of said two clipper sheets is respectively fixed on said first plate by using a plurality of fixing elements to prevent said two clipper sheets from moving.

17. The structure according to claim 16, wherein said fixing element is one selected from a group consisting of a pin, a bolt and a screw.
