Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of current transformers, and in particular to a current transformer. Background Art
[0002] A current transformer consists of a closed iron core and windings. It is an instrument that converts large primary current into small secondary current for measurement based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Current transformers are widely used in smart grids and are commonly found in distribution cabinets. They are mainly used to expand the range of single-phase meters, measure single-phase line current, measure three-phase current in three-phase balanced or unbalanced lines, and sample current in reactive power controllers. They play an important role in the safe operation of power systems.
[0003] When using a current transformer, the direction of the primary current is particularly important. In actual use, the current transformer is marked with P1 and P2 terminals. The primary side large current can only be passed from P1 to P2, and cannot be passed in the reverse direction. Otherwise, when wiring the induced current, it is easy for the induced current output terminal to be ungrounded. When the induced current input terminal is open due to a fault or other reasons, a large electromotive force will be induced in the transformer, posing a serious safety hazard. Therefore, in actual operation, it is strictly forbidden to reversely pass the primary side large current to ensure safety.
[0004] Although there is a clear requirement that the cable can only be passed from the P1 end to the P2 end when passing the cable on the primary side, in actual operations, there are no relevant measures to ensure that the cable can only be passed from the P1 end to the P2 end. After the operator reverses the cable, the current transformer can still work normally. At this time, the hidden danger is only temporarily hidden. Only when an open circuit occurs at the terminal (S1 end) will the hidden danger be revealed. Once the hidden danger is revealed, the loss caused is unpredictable. Therefore, in actual operations, it is very necessary to set up a one-way threading device that allows the primary side cable to only pass from the P1 end to the P2 end, so as to fundamentally eliminate safety hazards and ensure the stable operation of the power system and the personal safety of the operators. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a current transformer to solve the problem that when the operator is negligent in threading the wires on the primary side of the existing current transformer, the wire threading direction is easily incorrect, which brings serious safety hazards to the user.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a current transformer, comprising a transformer body and a one-way threader, wherein the transformer body is provided with a threading hole, the one-way threader is arranged in the threading hole, and a one-way threading mechanism is provided in the one-way threader, and the one-way threading mechanism enables the cable to be passed only from the P1 end of the transformer body to the P2 end.

The diameters of the front locking plate and the rear locking plate are larger than the diameter of the threading hole, and the diameter of the one-way threader is smaller than the diameter of the threading hole.
[0008] Furthermore, hooks are provided on both sides of the one-way threading mechanism, and slots are correspondingly provided on the front lock plate and the rear lock plate, and the slots cooperate with the hooks.

[0010] Furthermore, the threading sub-assembly includes a connecting plate, the two ends of which are detachably connected to the front lock plate and the rear lock plate, and a baffle plate is hingedly connected to the connecting plate, and the baffle plate can only be rotated from the P1 end to the P2 end within a certain angle range; a rebound mechanism is also provided between the baffle plate and the connecting plate, and the rebound mechanism is provided on the side of the baffle plate close to the P2 end, and the rebound mechanism elastically supports and resets the baffle plate after rotation.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting piece is provided with a limit stop near the P1 end, and the limit stop cooperates with the baffle plate, so that the limit stop allows the baffle plate to rotate only within a range of less than 90°.
[0012] Furthermore, the rebound mechanism includes a polyurethane spring, and both ends of the polyurethane spring are fixedly connected to the connecting piece and the baffle plate respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the two ends of the polyurethane spring are fixedly connected to the connecting piece and the baffle plate through a locking mechanism respectively. A locking groove and a locking cover are provided in the locking mechanism. A threaded groove is provided in the locking groove. A socket is provided in the threaded groove. The diameter of the socket is smaller than the diameter of the threaded groove. An annular placement area is formed between the socket and the inner wall of the threaded groove, and an elastic rubber ring is placed on the annular placement area; a threaded connection part is provided below the locking cover, the threaded connection part cooperates with the threaded groove, a through hole is provided in the locking cover, the through hole cooperates with the socket, and the through hole and the socket are used to connect one end of the polyurethane spring. When the locking cover is tightened, the threaded connection part compresses the elastic rubber ring to deform, and the deformed elastic rubber ring contacts the polyurethane spring to squeeze and fix the polyurethane spring.
[0014] Furthermore, a pointer is provided on the outer side of each of the connecting pieces, and the pointer points from the P1 end to the P2 end.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present application, the two ends of the polyurethane spring 253 are fixedly connected with the connecting plate 222 and the baffle plate 224 respectively through a locking mechanism 252.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, a wire arranging groove 225 is arranged on the baffle plate 224, wherein the wire arranging groove 225 is composed of two half grooves, one of which is arranged on each of the two adjacent baffle plates 224; the number of the wire arranging grooves 225 can be reasonably arranged according to the actual number of the baffle plates 224 and actual needs.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, a pointing mark 226 is further arranged on the outer side of each connecting plate 222, and in this embodiment, the pointing mark 226 points from the P1 end 111 to the P2 end 112.
[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, the one-way wire threading device 2 can also be fixedly connected with the transformer body 1, at this time, the one-way wire threading device 2 can only include the one-way wire threading mechanism 22, and the one-way wire threading mechanism 22 can be fixedly connected with the inner side wall of the wire threading groove.
[0048] The principle of the present invention is:
[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the one-way threader 2 and the transformer body 1 have two connection modes: detachable and non-detachable. For the non-detachable connection mode, it can be directly set when the product is manufactured; and for the detachable connection mode, it can be used for the assembly of existing products, so that the existing products also have the function of one-way threading. In addition, by adopting the detachable mode, the one-way threader 2 can also rotate freely, which brings convenience to the actual cable connection.
[0050] In the detachable connection method, the one-way threading mechanism 22 is assembled through the front locking plate 21 and the rear locking plate 23. During the process, one side is assembled first. It should be noted that the direction of the pointer 226 on each threading sub-assembly 221 should be kept consistent. When one side is assembled, the assembled one-way threading mechanism 22 is passed through the threading hole 113. At this time, it should be noted that the pointer 226 must point from the P1 end 111 to the P2 end 112. After the installation is completed, the other side can be assembled.
[0051] When threading the wires, if the current in the primary side cable is large, the cable is also correspondingly thicker. In actual applications, the maximum attenuation ratio is often used (the attenuation ratio is marked on the information plate). At this time, the cable can be directly passed through the threading hole 113 without the need for looping; since the cable is thicker, its strength is sufficient. At this time, the cable can be held by hand and passed directly through the threading hole 113. During the threading process, if the cable cannot be threaded, it means that the threading direction of the cable is wrong. At this time, the threading and releasing of the cable needs to be changed to ensure that the threading direction is from the P1 end 111 to the P2 end 112. At this time, the front end of each baffle plate 224 clamps the cable and also fixes the cable.
[0052] If in actual practice, the current on the primary side is small, a large proportion of attenuation is not required to make the secondary side meet the measurement requirements. At this time, the primary side cable needs to be looped, and the number of turns is determined according to the actual situation. Since the cable is often thinner and softer at this time, the baffle plate 224 can be manually pushed when threading. When it cannot be pushed, it means that the threading direction is wrong and the threading direction needs to be changed. After completing one threading, the cable can be pulled into the cable management groove 225, and then the next threading can be carried out. During the process, not only will there be no error in the threading direction, but the cables can also be sorted, avoiding the situation where the number of turns is confirmed incorrectly due to the complexity of the cables, thereby ensuring the accuracy of current measurement.
[0053] In the present invention, a polyurethane spring 253 is used as a rebound support for the baffle plate 224. The use of the polyurethane spring 253 can prevent the metal spring from generating induced electromotive force in the alternating magnetic field, thereby ensuring safety in use. The polyurethane spring 253 can be installed by gluing and a locking mechanism 252. Gluing is more convenient and less expensive in actual production, but its service life will be correspondingly reduced. When the locking mechanism 252 is used, although the cost is higher, it is more stable in use. In actual practical manufacturing, a reasonable choice can also be made according to actual needs.
[0054] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, any technical solution that is the same or similar to that of the present application falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
