[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The terms used in the present invention are those commonly used in the art in view of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as the meanings of the terms and the overall description of the present invention.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 This embodiment provides a multi-channel power meter with a current sensor power supply function, including a main body component 1, which includes a shell 11 and a detection module 12 for performing real-time detection and analysis of an object to be measured; an input component 2, connected to the detection module 12, for connecting the object to be measured and the detection module 12, which includes a plurality of fixed input interfaces 21 and a plurality of spare adapters 22, the spare adapters 22 being used to convert the types of each input interface 21, and the spare adapters 22 being stored on a door panel 112 of a cavity 111 on the back of the shell 11, and each spare adapter 22 on the door panel 112 is independently placed and controlled.

[0035] In this embodiment, the shell 11 of the main part 1: as the external structure of the entire device, it plays the role of protecting internal components, providing physical support, and facilitating the operator to hold or place it. Its design usually takes into account factors such as heat dissipation, dustproofing, and waterproofing to ensure stable operation of the device in various environments.

[0036] The detection module 12 of the main unit 1 is responsible for real-time detection and analysis of the object being measured. It contains a variety of sophisticated electronic components and circuits, capable of collecting, processing, and analyzing input signals such as current and voltage, thereby deriving measurement data related to power and phase. For example, a high-speed analog-to-digital converter converts analog signals into digital signals, and then a microprocessor or dedicated measurement chip performs complex calculations and analysis to achieve high-precision power measurement.

[0037] The fixed input interface 21 of the input component 2 includes the following: connection terminals, DC interface, USB interface, RS-232 interface, Ethernet interface, BNC signal output interface, trigger signal input interface 21, etc., and are all set on the back of the shell 11.

[0038] Terminal blocks: These are used to connect the current and voltage signals of the circuit under test. In actual measurements, current signals typically need to be converted using a current sensor (such as a current clamp or shunt) to a proportional voltage signal, which is then input into the power meter through the terminal blocks. Voltage signals, on the other hand, can be input directly through the terminal blocks, conveniently connecting the circuit under test to the power meter and enabling measurement of circuit parameters.

[0039] DC interface: Mainly used to provide DC power to the power meter. It converts the AC power grid into stable DC power to power the device's internal circuits and components, ensuring proper operation. The DC interface also powers external current sensors, ensuring stable operation and improving measurement accuracy and reliability.

[0040] USB port: Used for data transmission and communication with computers or other devices. The USB port allows the power meter to transfer measured data to a computer for further analysis, storage, and processing, making it easier for users to manage and utilize the measured data. The USB port can also power external devices, such as small measurement accessories or mobile devices, increasing the device's convenience and practicality.

[0041] RS-232 interface: Primarily used for serial communication, it connects the power meter to a computer or other device for data transmission and control. It supports multiple communication protocols, such as Modbus RTU, enabling devices to communicate using standardized protocols, ensuring reliable data transmission and remote control of devices.

[0042] Ethernet interface: For network communication, the power meter can be connected to a local area network or the internet for remote monitoring and data transmission. Through the Ethernet interface, users can access the power meter remotely via the network, obtain real-time measurement data, and perform remote configuration and control, greatly expanding the device's range and flexibility. It supports multiple communication protocols, such as Modbus TCP and EIP, ensuring compatibility and interoperability with a wide range of network devices and systems.

[0043] BNC signal output port: This port outputs measurement signals, such as voltage and current. These output signals can be connected to other equipment, such as an oscilloscope and power analyzer, for further analysis and processing. For example, by connecting an oscilloscope, you can observe the signal waveform and understand its characteristics, such as frequency and amplitude, providing support for more in-depth measurement and analysis.

[0044] Trigger signal input interface 21: Used to input an external trigger signal for synchronized measurement. In complex measurement scenarios, synchronized measurement with other devices or systems is required. The trigger signal input interface 21 receives an external trigger signal, enabling the power meter to start measurement at a specific moment, ensuring measurement accuracy and reliability, and improving the repeatability and comparability of measurement results.

[0045] The backup adapter 22 includes a power terminal and a DC converter, a USB and a DC converter, etc.

[0046] Power connector and DC converter: This adapter 22 converts input power from the power connector into DC power to power a power meter or other device. For example, in applications where direct DC power is not available, the power connector can be connected to an AC power source, which can then be converted to DC power using the power connector and DC converter to meet the power needs of the device.

[0047] USB-to-DC Converter: This adapter 22 converts power from the USB port into DC power for powering external current sensors or other devices. Because USB ports typically provide limited voltage and current, a USB-to-DC converter can appropriately convert and regulate USB power to meet the power requirements of external devices, increasing device power supply flexibility and compatibility.

[0048] Reference Figure 3-Figure 9 In some embodiments, a cavity 111 for accommodating a backup input interface 21 is provided on the back of the shell 11, and a door panel 112 that can be rotated outward to open is provided at the entrance of the cavity 111. The backup input interface 21 is divided into a USB interface and a DC interface. The backup adapter 22 is stored on the door panel 112 of the cavity 111 on the back of the shell 11, and each backup adapter 22 on the door panel 112 is independently placed and controlled.

[0049] It should be noted that on the back of the shell 11 of the power meter, a cavity 111 is specially provided for accommodating the spare input interface 21. This design allows the device to have reserved space to place the corresponding spare adapter 22 when the input interface 21 needs to be expanded, ensuring the scalability and flexibility of the device and facilitating the addition and adjustment of interfaces according to actual measurement needs.

[0050] To protect the backup input interface 21 and backup adapter 22 within the cavity 111 and to facilitate access when needed, a door panel 112 that pivots outward is provided at the entrance to the cavity 111. The door panel 112 not only provides protection by preventing dust and debris from entering the cavity 111 and potentially damaging or interfering with the backup input interface 21 and adapter 22, but also ensures the neatness and integrity of the device's appearance.

[0051] The spare adapter 22 is stored on the door panel 112 of the cavity 111 on the back of the housing 11. This design closely associates the spare adapter 22 with the spare input interface 21, making it easy for the operator to quickly find and access the adapter 22 when needed. Furthermore, each spare adapter 22 on the door panel 112 is independently positioned and controlled, meaning each spare adapter 22 has its own independent fixing and release mechanism. This allows the operator to select and use a spare adapter 22 based on actual needs without affecting the storage status of other adapters 22, thereby improving operational convenience and flexibility. It also prevents other adapters 22 from falling or being damaged due to accidental contact during operation.

[0052] The backup input interface 21 within the cavity 111 is available in two types: a USB interface and a DC interface. The USB interface is primarily used for data transmission and communication, such as transferring measurement data to a computer for further analysis and processing, and can also provide power to external devices. The DC interface is primarily used to provide DC power to the device, converting AC power to DC to power the device's internal circuits and components, and can also power external current sensors to ensure their proper operation. The provision of these two backup input interfaces 21 allows the device to meet diverse needs when expanding its input functionality, enhancing its applicability and versatility.

[0053] A first rotating rod 1121 is provided at the lower end of both sides of the door panel 112, and the door panel 112 is flipped with the first rotating rod 1121 as the rotating axis. An arc-shaped guide strip 1122 is provided at the upper end of the door panel 112, and the arc-shaped guide strip 1122 cooperates with the protrusion at the entrance of the cavity 111.

[0054] It should be noted that the first rotating rods 1121 provided on both sides of the door panel 112, near the lower end, serve as the rotating axis for the door panel 112 to flip outward, allowing the door panel 112 to be flipped open with the rotating rods as the axis, making it easier for the operator to operate the backup input interface 21 and the adapter 22 inside the cavity 111. The curved guide strips 1122 provided on the upper end of the door panel 112 cooperate with the protrusions at the entrance of the cavity 111. When the door panel 112 is closed, the curved guide strips 1122 will fit tightly along the shape of the protrusions, not only guiding the door panel 112 to close accurately, but also enhancing the sealing between the door panel 112 and the cavity 111, effectively preventing dust, debris, etc. from entering the cavity 111 and damaging the backup interface and the adapter 22. At the same time, when the door panel 112 is opened, it can also smoothly flip along the predetermined trajectory, avoiding jamming or deviation, thereby ensuring the convenience of operation and the reliability of the equipment.

[0055] Multiple mounting plates 113 for the spare adapters 22 are evenly spaced on the door panel 112. Each mounting plate 113 corresponds to each spare adapter 22 and can be flipped outward on the door panel 112. Multiple slots 1123 are formed on the door panel 112, and each mounting plate 113 is mounted within one of the slots 1123. The mounting plates 113 are rotatably connected to the slots 1123 via a second rotating rod 1131 at their lower ends. The mounting plates 113 have the same cross-sectional area as the slots 1123, and are locked within the slots 1123.

[0056] It should be noted that multiple mounting plates 113 for mounting the spare adapters 22 are evenly spaced on the door panel 112. Each mounting plate 113 corresponds to a spare adapter 22, and these mounting plates 113 can be flipped open outward to facilitate access to the spare adapters 22. The door panel 112 also has multiple slots 1123 that match the number of mounting plates 113. Each mounting plate 113 is mounted in a corresponding slot 1123 and is rotatably connected to the slot 1123 via a second rotating rod 1131 at its lower end. The cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting plate 113 is the same as that of the notch 1123, so that the mounting plate 113 can be tightly stuck in the notch 1123. When the spare adapter 22 is not needed, the mounting plate 113 remains closed, which protects the spare adapter 22 and makes the overall appearance of the door panel 112 more neat and orderly. When the spare adapter 22 is needed, the corresponding mounting plate 113 can be flipped outward to open it, so that the spare adapter 22 can be easily taken out for use.

[0057] Both ends of the first rotating rod 1121 and the second rotating rod 1131 are provided with convex keys. The first rotating rod 1121 cooperates with the groove in the rotating hole at the entrance of the cavity 111, and the second rotating rod 1131 cooperates with the groove in the rotating hole of the notch 1123. The first rotating rod 1121 rotates in the door panel 112, and the second rotating rod 1131 rotates in the mounting plate 113.

[0058] A first cavity 1124 is provided at each notch 1123 in the door panel 112, a latch 1125 is slidingly provided in the first cavity 1124, a convex ring 1126 is provided in the first cavity 1124, a first spring 1127 for pushing the descent is provided between the convex ring 1126 and the latch 1125, the upper end of the latch 1125 corresponds to the socket 1132 at the bottom of the mounting plate 113, the outer wall of the first rotating rod 1121 is provided with a first groove 1128 with a gradual depth along the outer circumference, and the lower end of the latch 1125 slides along the first groove 1128.

[0059] Two symmetrical clamps 114 are arranged on the mounting plate 113, and the two clamps 114 slide along the limiting groove 1133 opened on the mounting plate 113 through the sliding foot 1141. A second spring 1134 is arranged in each limiting groove 1133 for pushing the two clamps 114 to close. A trapezoidal head 1135 is arranged on the outer side of the sliding foot 1141 for locking the position of the sliding foot 1141. A straight rod 1136 is arranged on the lower surface of the trapezoidal head 1135. The lower end of the straight rod 1136 is located in a second groove 1137 with a gradient depth arranged on the outer circumference of the outer wall of the second rotating rod 1131.

[0060] It should be noted that the arrangement and coordination of the rotating rods are as follows: both ends of the first rotating rod 1121 and the second rotating rod 1131 are provided with a key. The first rotating rod 1121 cooperates with the groove in the rotating hole at the entrance of the cavity 111, allowing the first rotating rod 1121 to rotate within the door panel 112, thereby achieving the flip opening and closing of the door panel 112. Similarly, the second rotating rod 1131 cooperates with the groove in the rotating hole of the notch 1123, allowing the second rotating rod 1131 to rotate within the mounting plate 113, thereby controlling the flipping action of the mounting plate 113. This design ensures the stability and accuracy of the door panel 112 and the mounting plate 113 during rotation.

[0061] Coordination between the latch 1125 and the spring: a first cavity 1124 is provided at each notch 1123 in the door panel 112, and a latch 1125 is slidably provided in the first cavity 1124. At the same time, a convex ring 1126 is provided in the cavity, and a first spring 1127 is installed between the convex ring 1126 and the latch 1125 to push the latch 1125 down. The upper end of the latch 1125 corresponds to the socket 1132 at the bottom of the mounting plate 113. When the mounting plate 113 is in a flush state, the latch 1125 is inserted into the socket 1132 under the action of the first spring 1127 to lock the mounting plate 113. The outer wall of the first rotating rod 1121 is provided with a first groove 1128 with a gradual depth along the outer circumference. The lower end of the latch 1125 slides along the first groove 1128. As the door panel 112 rotates, the position of the first rotating rod 1121 changes, and the sliding depth of the latch 1125 in the first groove 1128 also changes, thereby realizing the unlocking operation of the mounting plate 113, so that the mounting plate 113 can be pulled.

[0062] Clamp 114 and Slider Configuration: Two symmetrical clamps 114 are installed on the mounting plate 113 to secure the backup adapter 22. These clamps 114 slide along retaining slots 1133 defined in the mounting plate 113 via sliding feet 1141. Each retaining slot 1133 contains a second spring 1134, which pushes the two clamps 114 together and secures the backup adapter 22. A trapezoidal head 1135 is located on the outside of the sliding foot 1141 to lock the position of the sliding foot 1141. A straight rod 1136 is installed on the lower surface of the trapezoidal head 1135. The lower end of this straight rod 1136 is located within a second groove 1137, which is formed along the outer circumference of the second rotating rod 1131 and has a gradually varying depth. When the mounting plate 113 rotates, the position of the second rotating rod 1131 changes, and the sliding depth of the straight rod 1136 in the second groove 1137 also changes, thereby unlocking the position of the trapezoidal head 1135, allowing the slider to move along the limiting groove 1133, thereby driving the clamp 114 to move outward, making it easier to pull the spare adapter 22 out of the clamp 114.

[0063] The clamp 114 includes a main plate 1142 and a sub-plate 1143 . The sub-plate 1143 is rotatably mounted on the main plate 1142 via a connecting plate 1144 . The angle between the main plate 1142 and the sub-plate 1143 is adjustable and fixed by bolts.

[0064] It should be noted that the clamp 114 is composed of a main plate 1142 and a sub-plate 1143. The sub-plate 1143 is rotatably mounted on the main plate 1142 via a connecting plate 1144, so that the angle between the sub-plate 1143 and the main plate 1142 can be adjusted. This angle adjustment is controlled by bolts. When the angle needs to be adjusted, the bolts are loosened, and the sub-plate 1143 can be rotated around the main plate 1142 via the connecting plate 1144, thereby changing the angle between the main plate 1142 and the main plate 1142. After adjusting to the appropriate angle, the bolts are tightened again to fix the angle between the main plate 1142 and the sub-plate 1143. This design makes the clamp 114 more flexible during use. It can not only squeeze and clamp the adapter 22 from both sides, but also support the contracted portion at the bottom of the adapter 22 through the inclined sub-plate 1143, thereby ensuring the firmness of the adapter 22 clamping and effectively preventing the adapter 22 from loosening or falling off during use.

[0066] When a certain type of input interface 21 on the back of the housing 11 is insufficient, the following operations can be performed to add an input interface 21 of this type:

[0067] Open the door panel 112 , and the door panel 112 rotates 90 degrees around the first rotating rod 1121 on the lower side, changing from a vertical state to a horizontal state, so that the operator can select various types of converter heads installed on the inner side of the door panel 112 .

[0068] After selecting the corresponding adapter 22, pull the mounting plate 113 corresponding to the adapter on the door panel 112. The mounting plate 113 rotates with the second rotating rod 1131 at the lower end as the axis, and switches from a flush state with the door panel 112 to a perpendicular state with the door panel 112. The reason for the turning is that the two ends of the first rotating rod 1121 cooperate with the key slots of the rotating hole of the cavity 111. When the door panel 112 rotates, the first rotating rod 1121 does not rotate. Then, the latch 1125 located in the door panel 112 for locking the state of the mounting plate 113 descends under the action of its own first spring 1127. The lower end penetrates into the first groove 1128 provided on the outer wall of the first rotating rod 1121, which gradually changes in depth along the outer circumference. The upper end disengages from the socket 1132 at the bottom of the mounting plate 113, unlocking the mounting plate 113. Since the cross-sectional area between the mounting plate 113 and the notch 1123 is the same, and the mounting plate 113 is stuck in the notch 1123, the mounting plate 113 will not flip out of the notch 1123 when there is no external force. Therefore, except for the moving mounting plate 113, the mounting plates 113 corresponding to other conversion heads remain in place.

[0069] When the mounting plate 113 is turned 90 degrees, the second rotating rod 1131 does not rotate when the mounting plate 113 rotates because the two ends of the second rotating rod 1131 are engaged with the key slots of the rotating hole of the notch 1123. Moreover, the outer wall of the second rotating rod 1131 is provided with a second groove 1137 with a gradually changing depth along the outer circumference. When the straight rod 1136 rotates, the lower end of the straight rod 1136 gradually penetrates into the second groove 1137. When the straight rod 1136 descends, the trapezoidal head 1135 fixed to its upper end also falls, thereby unlocking the position of the slider, allowing the slider to squeeze the second spring 1134 inside along the limiting groove 1133 and move the corresponding clamp 114 outward. Since the two clamps 114 are symmetrically arranged, both clamps 114 can be loosened outward for easy turning, and the conversion head located between the two clamps 114 can be pulled out of the clamp 114.

[0070] The operator inserts the conversion head into the spare input interface 21 in the cavity 111 to complete the addition of this type of input interface 21 and ensure the use of the device.

[0071] Finally, the door panel 112 is closed again, and only the adapter 22 is exposed.

[0072] Through the above-mentioned operation process, the corresponding category of input interface 21 can be flexibly added according to needs, which is convenient for the use of the equipment. The logic of each step of the entire operation process is clear, and the coordination of each component and the corresponding working process correspond one-to-one with the final effect of adding the input interface 21, which effectively solves the problem of insufficient input interface 21 and improves the applicability and convenience of the equipment.

[0073] Finally, it should be pointed out that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
