Example Embodiment

[0043] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0044] The value of the current I to be measured in the embodiment of the present invention is calculated according to the Ampere’s Loop Theorem. The Ampere’s Loop Theorem is specifically: the value of the integral of the magnetic induction B in space along any closed path (ie the circulating current value of B) is equal to The permeability μ multiplied by the algebraic sum of the currents enclosed by the closed path, namely If the current flow is in a right-handed spiral relationship with the integral loop, the current takes a positive value, otherwise it takes a negative value.
[0045] Because the integrated magnetoelectric sensor is getting smaller and smaller, so that people can measure the spatial distribution of the magnetic field more accurately. Experimental measurement.
[0046] The measuring principle of current according to the Ampere’s loop theorem in the embodiment of the present invention: adopt multiple (N) identical Hall sensor elements and arrange them into a circular closed loop with a radius of R; at this time, each Hall The component measured B is its tangential component B cut , Then each B Cut = kU (The output formula of the Hall element, k is the Hall sensitivity), dl=Rdθ, θ is each B cut The angle with dl; sum the product of the magnetic field measured by all Hall elements on the integration path
[0047] If there are N Hall elements, then According to the Ampere Loop Theorem: You can get
[0048] Therefore, by measuring the Hall voltage of each Hall element in real time, and adding the above formula, the current in the closed loop can be obtained.
[0049] figure 1 Is a schematic diagram of the structure of a current measuring device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as figure 1 As shown, the current measuring device 6 of this embodiment can be called a current clamp, and includes: an elastic clamp 1, a signal processing and summing circuit board 2 and a display interface circuit 3;
[0050] The elastic caliper 1 includes: a prefabricated caliper body with a circular ring shape and a pliers composed of a plurality of Hall elements 4 embedded on the circular ring pliers head of the elastic caliper body Closed ring
[0051] The signal processing and summing circuit 2 is used to obtain the Hall voltage of each Hall element 4 when the elastic clamp 1 clamps the wire 0 passing the current to be measured, and according to the Hall voltage of each Hall element 4 Obtain the current value to be measured based on the ampere loop theorem, and output the current value to be measured to the display interface circuit 3;
[0052] The display interface circuit 3 is used to obtain the current value to be measured output by the signal processing and summing circuit 2 and output the current value to be measured to the display device 5.
[0053] It should be noted that the display interface circuit 4 described in this embodiment is a common display interface circuit in the prior art.
[0054] In specific applications, the current measuring device of this embodiment may further include:
[0055] The display device 5 is used to obtain the current value to be measured output by the display interface circuit 3 and display the current value to be measured.
[0056] For example, the display device 5 may be a pointer display device or a digital liquid crystal display device.
[0057] In a specific application, the current I to be measured in this embodiment is:
[0058] I = R 2 π Nμ X i = 1 N k i U i ,
[0059] Wherein, R is the radius of the clamp-type closed ring, N is the number of the Hall element, μ is the magnetic permeability of the Hall element, k i Is the Hall sensitivity of each Hall element, μ, k i Is a constant, U i Is the Hall voltage of each Hall element, i=1, 2, ..., N, N is a positive integer greater than 1.
[0060] For example, the current measuring device 6 of this embodiment may include 8 Hall elements, such as figure 2 As shown, figure 2 Shows a physical diagram of a current measurement device with 8 Hall elements provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In order to verify that the current measurement device 6 based on the ampere loop theorem in the present invention is feasible, you can use figure 2 The current measuring device of this embodiment including 8 Hall elements is shown to measure the energized current (amperes) of the center wire. The experimental data is shown in Table 1.
[0061] Table 1
[0062]
[0063] Using the measured data, according to the formula in the principle The calculated current value is 0.96A, which is not much different from the actual current 1A. The effective feasibility of the current measuring device described in the embodiment of the present invention is confirmed. The reason for this error is that there is a large gap between the eight Hall elements arranged, which makes the loop measurement of the magnetic field not accurate enough. If the present invention is implemented The current measuring device described in the example is made seamless, which will greatly reduce the error and improve the measurement accuracy.
[0064] The current measuring device 6 of this embodiment, according to the ampere loop theorem, can measure current by measuring the magnetic field of a closed loop. We can connect many Hall elements 4 tightly together to form a symmetrical closed ring. Make this ring on the head of the clamp. When measuring, you only need to press the handle of the clamp and let the current clamp clamp a certain current-carrying wire to measure the current in it; especially for DC current, you can Real-time display of its current value; for current changes (such as lightning, and various waveform currents, etc.), real-time data acquisition and recording can be performed, and its effective value can be displayed in real time.
[0065] The current measuring device of this embodiment can reduce the danger caused by the measurement method of connecting the ammeter (especially in the case of strong current, such as lightning surge current monitoring), and avoid the measurement of connecting the ammeter after the circuit is broken. The method is troublesome, does not need to suspend the work of the equipment, greatly improves the measurement efficiency, and is simple and easy to implement, low in cost, and has a very broad application prospect.
