[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0027] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A miniature low-power current transformer, the miniature low-power current transformer comprising:

[0029] The device body 1 has two wiring terminals 2 on one side;

[0030] Terminal block 3, each terminal 2 is provided with terminal block 3 at its end, and wire plug 4 is provided at equal intervals on the top of terminal block 3, and the surface of wire plug 4 is provided with groove;

[0031] Adjusting screw 5: Each terminal block 3 is provided with an adjusting screw 5 on one side. One end of the adjusting screw 5 is threaded into the corresponding terminal block 2.

[0032] The pressing plate 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the adjusting screw 5. The pressing plate 6 moves up and down by rotating the adjusting screw 5.

[0033] The surface of the pressing base 7 and the terminal block 3 is fixedly connected to the guide post 8 on both sides of the plug block 4. The guide post 8 is slidably connected inside the pressing plate 6, and the pressing base 7 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide post 8 on both sides of the plug block 4.

[0034] The positioning pin 9 includes a slide rod 10, an adjusting plate 11, and a limiting rod 12. The slide rod 10 is slidably connected inside the pressing base 7. One end of the slide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 11. The limiting rod 12 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting plate 11, and the limiting rod 12 is respectively set on both sides of the pressing plate 6.

[0035] It should be noted that when connecting the wire to the current transformer, first rotate the adjusting screw 5. Since one end of the adjusting screw 5 is threaded into the corresponding terminal 2, rotating the adjusting screw 5 will cause it to move up and down. The up and down movement of the adjusting screw 5 will cause the pressing plate 6, which is slidably connected to it, to move up and down. During this process, since the limiting rod 12 of the positioning pin 9 is stuck on both sides of the pressing plate 6, the movement of the pressing plate 6 will also cause the positioning pin 9 to move together. The movement of the positioning pin 9 will further drive the pressing seat 7 to slide along the guide post 8 through the slide rod 10 and adjusting plate 11 inside it. The guide post 8 is fixed on the terminal block 3 and slidably connected inside the pressing plate 6 to ensure the stable movement of the pressing seat 7. As the pressing seat 7 moves, the distance between it and the terminal block 3 will decrease, thereby squeezing the end of the wire inserted into the terminal block 3. This squeezing force ensures a firm connection between the wire and the current transformer.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The bottom of the device body 1 is provided with a mounting plate 13, and the top of the mounting plate 13 is symmetrically provided with mounting holes 14;

[0037] It should be noted that this is to facilitate the installation and fixation of the current transformer on the equipment or structure;

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Each of the pressing bases 7 has a protrusion 15 at its bottom;

[0039] It should be noted that these protrusions 15 may be used to enhance the friction between the press base 7 and the wire, ensuring that the wire is stably fixed.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A pull rod 16 is provided on the other side of the adjusting plate 11;

[0041] It should be noted that the design of the pull rod 16 allows users to easily operate the adjusting plate 11, thereby controlling the movement of the positioning pin 9 and the fixing of the wire;

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Springs 17 are fitted on the outer side of each guide post 8, and the pressing seat 7 is elastically connected to the terminal block 3 through the springs 17.

[0043] It should be noted that this design allows the press seat 7 to automatically reset when subjected to external force;

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A locking ring 18 is provided on the outer side of the pressing plate 6, and the locking ring 18 is sleeved on the outer side of the four corresponding adjusting plates 11;

[0045] It should be noted that: it is used to fix the position of the adjusting piece 11 to prevent it from moving accidentally;

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 4The other end of the adjusting screw 5 is provided with a cross groove 19;

[0047] It should be noted that the design of the cross groove 19 allows users to easily rotate the adjusting screw 5 with tools such as screwdrivers, thereby controlling the up and down movement of the pressing piece 6;

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A protective ring 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the terminal block 3, and the protective ring 20 is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting screw 5;

[0049] It should be noted that the adjusting screw 5 is used to protect the transformer from damage caused by the external environment and to extend its service life.

[0050] The working principle of the miniature low-power current transformer provided by this invention is as follows:

[0051] Wire connection and fixing mechanism:

[0052] When it is necessary to connect the wire to the transformer, first rotate the adjusting screw 5. Since one end of the adjusting screw 5 is connected to the corresponding terminal 2 through a thread, rotating the adjusting screw 5 will make it move up and down.

[0053] The up-and-down movement of adjusting screw 5 will cause the pressing piece 6, which is slidably connected to it, to move up and down. During this process, since the limiting rod 12 of positioning pin 9 is stuck on both sides of pressing piece 6, the movement of pressing piece 6 will also cause positioning pin 9 to move together.

[0054] The movement of the positioning pin 9 will further drive the pressing seat 7 to slide along the guide post 8 through the internal slide rod 10 and adjusting plate 11. The guide post 8 is fixed on the terminal block 3 and slidably connected inside the pressing plate 6 to ensure the stable movement of the pressing seat 7.

[0055] As the pressing seat 7 moves, the distance between it and the terminal block 3 decreases, thereby squeezing the end of the wire inserted into the terminal block 3. This squeezing force ensures a firm connection between the wire and the transformer.

[0056] Regulation and separation mechanisms:

[0057] When it is necessary to connect or disconnect a wire, the lever 16 can be pulled. The lever 16 is connected to the adjusting plate 11. Pulling the lever 16 will cause the slide bar 10 to slide inside the pressing seat 7.

[0058] The sliding of the slide bar 10 will cause the adjusting plate 11 to move, thereby causing the limiting rod 12 to separate from the pressing plate 6. Once the limiting rod 12 separates from the pressing plate 6, the elastic force of the spring 17 will take effect, pushing the pressing seat 7 to separate from the terminal block 3.

[0059] Under the action of spring 17, the gap between the corresponding pressing seat 7 and the terminal block 3 increases, providing space for inserting new wires or disconnecting existing wires.

[0060] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
