DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a clamp-type digital split-type current transformer, including a pair of symmetrically arranged housings 1, each of the pair of housings 1 includes an upper shell and a lower shell, and the upper shell and the lower shell are connected by a snap-on connection; the housing 1 is hollow and includes a handle portion 2 and a jaw portion 3, a semicircular iron core 40 is arranged in the jaw portion 3, and an induction coil is wrapped outside the iron core 40; the current of the wire can be detected by the iron core 40 and the induction coil; and the user can open the jaw portion 3 by applying force to the handle portion 2 of the pair of shells.

[0021] like Figure 2-3As shown, a pair of shells are rotatably matched with each other through a hinge assembly 4, and the hinge assembly 4 includes a connecting tube 41, and the connecting tube 41 includes a bottom cover 411 and a top cover 412. The bottom cover 411 and the top cover 412 are both provided with arc-shaped limit plates on one side relative to the shell, and an annular groove that is plugged into the limit plate is provided on the side of the shell relative to the cover, and the two shells can be rotatably matched with each other through the hinge assembly through the plugging of the annular groove and the limit plate; a plurality of connecting plates 413 that pass through the two shells are also provided on the bottom cover 411, and the plurality of connecting plates 413 are arc-shaped, forming a cylindrical structure on the bottom cover 411, and threads are provided on the surface of the connecting plates 413, and the connecting plates 413 are threadedly connected to the top cover 412 through threads, so that the top cover 412 and the bottom cover 411 can realize the connection and fixation of the two shells.

[0022] The connecting tube 41 is provided with a mounting cavity 42 connected to the inside of the pair of handle parts 2, and a pair of driving rods 43 are rotatably connected in the mounting cavity 42. The pair of driving rods 43 each include a connecting portion 431 rotatably matched with the mounting cavity 42 and a driving portion 432 respectively extending into the pair of handle parts 2, and the driving portion 432 abuts against the inner wall of the handle part 2. The two connecting portions 431 are rotatably connected by a connecting rod arranged in the mounting cavity 42. The two connecting portions 431 are arranged concentrically, so that the pair of driving rods 43 are arranged at an angle; it also includes a driving member 5 abutting against the opposite side of the pair of driving rods 43, and the driving member 5 includes a sliding member arranged in the mounting cavity 42. The slider 51 is slidably arranged in the installation cavity 42 through a slide groove arranged on the bottom cover 411. A pair of abutment cylinders 512 corresponding to the positions of the driving rods 43 are rotatably arranged on the slider 51 through the rotating shaft 511. The abutment cylinders 512 can abut against the opposite side of the pair of driving rods 43, and also include a spring 52 that drives the slider 51 to slide toward the hinge of the pair of driving rods 43. One end of the spring 52 abuts against the slider 51. The spring 52 can drive the slider 51 to move toward the pair of driving rods 43, so that the abutment cylinder 512 controls the pair of driving rods 43 to open, so that the driving part 432 of the driving rod 43 drives the handle to open outward, thereby realizing the automatic closing of the jaws; it is as shown in Figure 4 Status shown.
