DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] Below, the invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Example: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 7The present invention discloses a protection switch device for a power measurement multimeter, comprising a multimeter outer frame 1, a multimeter circuit board 2 is arranged inside the multimeter outer frame 1, a protection structure 3 is arranged on the back side of the multimeter circuit board 2, an outer frame back plate 4 is arranged on the back side of the multimeter outer frame 1, a sliding groove 5 is opened at a position of the outer frame back plate 4 corresponding to the protection structure 3, and a structural switch 6 is arranged inside the sliding groove 5; The protection structure 3 includes a support plate 31, and support rods 32 fixedly connected to the multimeter circuit board 2 are arranged at the four corners of the support plate 31, a sliding plate 33 is arranged on the side wall of the support plate 31, and a fixed platform 34 is arranged on the end wall of the sliding plate 33. An extension platform 35 is slidably arranged inside the sliding plate 33, and a locking structure 7 is arranged inside the extension platform 35. A connecting platform 36 is arranged at the upper end of the support plate 31 opposite to the sliding plate 33, a conductive coil 37 is arranged inside the connecting platform 36, and a conductive plate 38 connected to the conductive coil 37 is arranged at the end of the connecting platform 36, and a trigger structure 8 is arranged inside the connecting platform 36.

[0019] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The front structural diagram of the multimeter shown, wherein the front of the multimeter frame 1 includes a display screen, an adjustment knob, a multimeter switch and four wire connectors; When the multimeter is in normal use, the extension platform 35 and the conductive plate 38 are in contact with each other, and the conductive plate 38 and the extension platform 35 are connected to the multimeter circuit board 2 through the wire to form a closed loop, and the locking structure 7 is in a locked state at this time. Figure 5 As shown; When the current in the circuit measured by the multimeter is greater than the range of the multimeter, the larger current passes through the conductive coil 37 to generate a magnetic field and push the trigger structure 8 to move. After the trigger structure 8 moves, it pushes the locking structure 7 to unlock the extension platform 35. Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the extension platform 35 is affected by the structural switch 6 and moves away from the conductive plate 38, so that the loop is disconnected, thereby achieving the purpose of disconnecting the circuit protection device.

[0020] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking structure 7 includes a rotation groove 71 , which is opened at the end of the extension platform 35 , a rotation shaft 72 is arranged at the top of the extension platform 35 , and a locking rod 73 is rotatably arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the rotation shaft 72 .

[0021] In this embodiment, when the extension platform 35 slides to contact the conductive plate 38, Figure 7As shown, at this time, the locking rod 73 will fall into the locking groove 39 under the action of gravity. At this time, the locking rod 73 and the locking groove 39 are clamped with each other, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the extension platform 35. During the sliding process, the extension platform 35 will stretch the extension spring 64, causing the extension spring 64 to extend and accumulate potential energy. After the locking structure 7 is unlocked, the extension platform 35 will be pulled back to achieve the purpose of disconnecting the circuit.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the trigger structure 8 includes a sliding groove 81, which is opened inside the connecting platform 36. A sliding block 82 is slidably arranged inside the sliding groove 81. A pin 83 that passes through the connecting platform 36 is arranged at one end of the sliding block 82, and a return spring 84 is arranged at both ends of the sliding block 82.

[0023] In this embodiment, the sliding groove 81 is used to install the sliding block 82. The sliding block 82 is made of metal and will be attracted by the magnetic field. The sliding block 82 is coaxially arranged with the conductive coil 37. When the current flowing in the conductive coil 37 is too large, the magnetic field generated by the conductive coil 37 increases, thereby attracting the sliding block 82 to slide inside the conductive coil 37. At this time, the sliding block 82 will push the ejector pin 83 to move and contact the locking rod 73. Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the locking rod 73 will be pushed out of the locking groove 39, thereby releasing the lock on the extension platform 35. At this time, the extension platform 35 is affected by the extension spring 64 to reset, thereby achieving the purpose of disconnecting the circuit.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, the position of the ejector pin 83 corresponds to the position of the locking rod 73 , and the diameter of the ejector pin 83 is smaller than the width of the rotation slot 71 .

[0025] In this embodiment, since the width of the rotation groove 71 is greater than the diameter of the ejector pin 83 , the ejector pin 83 can be inserted into the rotation groove 71 and push the locking rod 73 to move upward, thereby releasing the locking device.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the structural switch 6 includes a switch slide 61, which is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 5. An extension rod 62 is provided at the bottom end of the switch slide 61, and a separation cylinder 63 is provided at the bottom end of the extension rod 62. The separation cylinder 63 is fixedly connected to the extension platform 35, and an extension spring 64 connected to the fixed platform 34 is provided inside the separation cylinder 63.

[0027] In this embodiment, the switch slide 61 corresponds to the groove wall of the sliding groove 5 through the sliding grooves on both sides, so that the switch slide 61 is slidably connected with the sliding groove 5. After the circuit is disconnected, the switch slide 61 can be manually pushed to make the extension rod at the lower end of the switch slide 61 and the separation cylinder 63 push the extension platform 35 to move until the extension platform 35 contacts the conductive sheet. At the same time, the locking rod 73 falls down under the influence of the spring 700 to cooperate with the locking groove 39 to lock the extension platform 35, and the extension spring 64 will be stretched during the movement of the extension platform 35 to accumulate potential energy so as to facilitate the reset of the extension platform 35 to disconnect the circuit.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, an extension guide rod is arranged inside the extension spring 64 , and the extension guide rod includes an outer sleeve 65 and an inner slide tube 66 . The outer sleeve 65 is fixedly connected to the separation cylinder 63 , and the inner slide tube 66 is fixedly connected to the fixed platform 34 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer sleeve 65 and the inner sliding tube 66 are provided to guide the stretching direction of the extension spring 64, and provide damping for the return of the extension spring 64, thereby reducing and preventing the extension spring 64 from shaking, thereby improving the stability of the equipment.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a locking groove 39 is provided at the top of the sliding plate 33 near the end. When the extension platform 35 contacts the guide plate, the position of the locking rod 73 corresponds to the position of the locking groove 39 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking groove 39 is configured to cooperate with the locking rod 73 to lock the extension platform 35 .

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the switch slide plate 61 are provided with extension plates 67 , and the extension plates 67 are in contact with the outer frame back plate 4 .

[0033] In this embodiment, the extension plate 67 is provided to shield the notch of the sliding slot 5, so that the switch slide plate 61 can slide and prevent external dust from entering the interior of the multimeter through the notch.

[0034] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is: when the current in the circuit measured by the multimeter is greater than the range of the multimeter, the larger current passes through the conductive coil 37, and the magnetic field generated by the conductive coil 37 increases, thereby attracting the sliding block 82 to slide inside the conductive coil 37. At this time, the sliding block 82 will push the ejector pin 83 to move and push the locking rod 73 out of the locking groove 39, thereby releasing the lock on the extension platform 35. At this time, the extension platform 35 is separated from the conductive plate 38 by the extension spring 64, so that the circuit is disconnected, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the multimeter by disconnecting the circuit; After the circuit is disconnected, by pushing the switch slide 61, the extension rod at the lower end of the switch slide 61 and the separation cylinder 63 push the extension platform 35 to move until the extension platform 35 contacts the conductive sheet, and at the same time the locking rod 73 falls down to cooperate with the locking slot 39 to lock the extension platform 35, so that the circuit is closed again, and the multimeter can be quickly reset so that the multimeter can be used again, which can effectively improve the efficiency of abnormal circuit maintenance.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
