Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0023] A type of combined current transformer, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, including, One shell 1; The first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 are stacked in a housing 1 and are located on the upper and lower ends of a support 12 inside the housing 1, respectively. The first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 are arranged in parallel. The first single arm of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 passes through the inner circle of the first winding coil 2 and the end extends out of the housing 1. The first single arm of the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 passes through the inner circle of the first winding coil 2 and the inner circle of the second winding coil 3 and the end extends out of the housing 1. A set of parallel output pins 6 are electrically connected to the ends of the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3, and all of them extend out of the housing 1.
[0024] Specifically, the combined current transformer of the present invention includes a housing 1 and a first winding coil 2, a second winding coil 3, a first U-shaped conductor rod 4, a second U-shaped conductor rod 5, and an output pin 6 disposed within the housing 1. The first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 are stacked together via a support 12 and do not contact each other. The first U-shaped conductor rod 4 passes through the first winding coil 2, and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 passes through the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 in sequence. All four ends of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 extend outside the housing 1. The output pin 6 is electrically connected to each end of the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3, and all extend outside the housing 1. The area inside the housing 1 excluding the first winding coil 2, the second winding coil 3, the first U-shaped conductor rod 4, the second U-shaped conductor rod 5, and the output pin 6 is encapsulated with insulating colloid.
[0025] More specifically, the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 are stacked one on top of the other. The first U-shaped conductor rod 4 passes through the first winding coil 2 from bottom to top, serving as the primary side port of the first winding coil 2. The second U-shaped conductor rod 5 passes through the second winding coil 3 and the first winding coil 2 from bottom to top, serving as the primary side port of the second winding coil 3.
[0026] The length of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 is not less than the height of the first winding coil 2, and the length of the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 is not less than the sum of the heights of the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3, so that both the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 can extend to the outside of the housing 1. In this embodiment, the ends of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 are both led out from the upper end of the housing 1.
[0027] The first winding coil 2 and the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 are assembled to form a leakage current transformer, which is mainly used to detect leakage current in actual circuits. The second winding coil 3 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 are assembled to form a current transformer, which is used to measure the current flowing through the main circuit.
[0028] This invention integrates two types of current transformers into one unit. Compared with the existing method where two current transformers need to be installed in different areas of the main board, this invention can greatly reduce the space occupied by the product, which is conducive to miniaturization. Moreover, the manufacturing process is simple and the manufacturing cost is greatly reduced. By setting the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 in the same housing 1, the problem of poor connection stability of the existing stacked current transformers is effectively solved, which greatly improves the safety and reliability of the current transformer and its circuit.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the support 12 includes, The first central column 121 has an internal hollow structure. The first single arm of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 is inserted into the first central column 121. The height of the first central column 121 is not less than the height of the first winding coil 2. The first arc plate 122 is set at a certain distance on the side of the first central column 121. The arc of the first arc plate 122 is adapted to the inner ring of the first winding coil 2. The inner ring of the first winding coil 2 can be connected to the ground on the first central column 121 and the first arc plate 122. Baffle 123 is located between the outer ring of the first winding coil 2 and the second single arm of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4.
[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support body 12 can be divided into an upper end and a lower end. The upper end is used to assemble the first winding coil 2, and the lower end is used to assemble the second winding coil 3.
[0031] The upper part includes a first central column 121, a first arc plate 122 and a baffle 123. The interior of the first central column 121 is hollow. One arm of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 passes through the first central column 121. The height of the first central column 121 is not less than the height of the first winding coil 2. An insulating barrier is formed between the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the first winding coil 2 to avoid the situation of withstand voltage breakdown. At least one first arc-shaped plate 122 is provided on the side of the first central column 121. The arc of the plate is approximately the arc of the inner ring of the first winding coil 2. The distance between the first arc-shaped plate 122 and the first central column 121 is also set according to the size of the inner ring of the first winding coil 2. When assembling the first winding coil 2, its inner ring is just snapped onto the first central column 121 and the first arc-shaped plate 122. One or more first arc-shaped plates 122 can be provided according to actual needs, as long as they can match the inner ring of the first winding coil 2. A baffle 123 is also provided between the outer ring of the first winding coil 2 and the other single arm of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4. Its purpose is to isolate the first winding coil 2 and the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 to avoid the breakdown of withstand voltage and affect the normal use of the transformer.

The height of the limiting block 125 is not less than the height of the bottom protrusion of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4.
[0033] Specifically, the lower end includes a second arc plate 124 and a limiting block 125. The second arc plate 124 can be set in one or more as needed. One is set as an annular plate with a larger arc length, while multiple are assembled from multiple annular plates with smaller arc lengths. The arc, spacing, size, etc. are matched according to the size of the inner ring of the second winding coil 3 so that the second winding coil 3 can be snapped onto the second arc plate 124 to prevent the second winding coil 3 from shifting laterally. The outer ring side of the arc plate is also provided with a limiting block 125. The number of limiting blocks 125 is preferably more than three to ensure that the second winding coil 3 can be installed flat. The limiting block 125 is set because the bottom end of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 also has a certain height. The height of the limiting block 125 is not less than the height of the bottom end protrusion of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4. Of course, the bottom end of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 can also be set at the upper end.

The through hole 126 runs through the support body 12 vertically and is located on one side of the first central column 121. When the support body 12 is equipped with the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3, the through hole 126 is located inside the inner ring of the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3. The second U-shaped conductor rod 5 passes through the inner ring of the second winding coil 3, the through hole 126, and the inner ring of the first winding coil 2 from bottom to top, and then leads out from the top cover 11 to the outside. The cable tray 127 extends vertically through the support body 12 and can be located near the coil ends on the outer ring of the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3. The coil end of the first winding coil 2 can enter the lower end through the cable tray 127 from the upper end and be combined with the coil end of the second winding coil 3, so that the coil ends can be uniformly connected to the pins 6 and led out to the outside of the housing 1.

[0050] Specifically, the ends of the first coil and the second coil are respectively connected to pins 6, which are engaged in pin slots 128; The first winding coil 2 is the main component of the leakage current transformer, including the first toroidal magnetic core and the first coil wound on the first toroidal magnetic core. The first coil can be selected as one or two sets according to actual needs, and is used as a detection coil to detect the leakage current in the main circuit. There are also cases where three sets of first coils are set. The extra third set of coils is used as a calibration coil, which is usually only wound with a few turns. It is used to calibrate and self-test by simulating leakage current after the transformer is assembled, so as to ensure the good performance of the transformer. The second winding coil 3 is the main component of the current transformer, including the second toroidal core and the second coil wound on the second toroidal core. Usually, only one set of the second coil is provided, which is used to measure the current value flowing through the main circuit.
[0051] More specifically, in this embodiment, there are two sets of first coils and one set of second coils, for a total of 6 coil ends. Each coil end is welded with a pin 6, that is, it contains 6 pins 6. There are also 6 corresponding pin slots 128, and the pins 6 are respectively disposed in the pin slots 128.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, an insulating colloid is further included, which fills the housing 1 and covers the periphery of the first winding coil 2, the second winding coil 3, the first U-shaped conductor rod 4, the second U-shaped conductor rod 5, the output pin 6, and the support body 12.
[0053] Specifically, the insulating colloid filled inside the housing 1 and covering the winding coil, U-shaped conductor rod, output pin 6 and support body 12 serves as insulation, preventing leakage between internal components. It also fixes the internal components, enhances the stability of the overall structure of the transformer, reduces the relative displacement between components when subjected to vibration or external impact, and protects the internal structure from damage.
[0054] A method for manufacturing a combined instrument transformer, used in any of the combined instrument transformers described in the embodiments, such as... Figure 8 As shown, including, Step S1, Injection molding: The first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 are placed in the injection molds of the support body 12 and the lower shell 13, respectively. The support body 12 with plastic coating of the first U-shaped conductor rod and the lower shell 13 with plastic coating of the second U-shaped conductor rod are made by insert injection molding, and the upper cover 11 is injection molded. Step S2, one-time assembly: The first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 are respectively installed into the upper end and lower end of the support body 12, and the first single arm of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 passes through the inner circle of the first winding coil 2. Step S3, pin welding: After passing through the wire groove 127, the wire ends of the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 are welded to the pins 6 one by one, and the pins 6 are snapped into the pin groove 128 and the snap fastener 129 of the support body 12 to obtain the first assembly. Step S4, Secondary assembly: The first assembly obtained in step S3 is inserted into the lower housing 13, and the first single arm of the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 is inserted through the inner ring of the first winding coil 2 and the inner ring of the second winding coil 3 to obtain the second assembly. Step S5, potting: Pour the liquid insulating adhesive into the second assembly obtained in step S4, and install the top cover 11 after the insulating adhesive has completely cured.
[0055] The first U-shaped conductor rod 4 of the present invention is fixedly connected to the support body 12 by means of insert injection molding; the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 is fixedly connected to the lower shell 13 by means of insert injection molding; the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 are both located in a closed structure except for the top end.
[0056] The present invention directly injection molds the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 into the housing 1, making assembly simpler and more convenient, and helping to realize automated production.
[0057] Specifically, the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 and the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 are fixed to the support body 12 and the lower housing 13 by insert injection molding, so that the part except the top is wrapped with insulating material. This can enhance the connection stability between the U-shaped conductor rod and the housing 1, and the housing 1 or the insulating colloid can form a certain insulating barrier between the conductor rod and the winding coil, so as to avoid the adverse phenomenon of withstand voltage breakdown between the conductor rod and the winding coil and ensure the safety performance of the transformer.
[0058] Specifically, the first single arm of the first U-shaped conductor rod 4 passes through the inner ring of the first winding coil 2 and extends out of the housing 1 at its end. The part of it that passes through the first central column 121 is tightly fitted with the support body 12, and the other single arm is placed in the annular groove 133 of the lower housing 13, serving as the primary side port of the first winding coil 2 in the entire transformer, and participating in the electromagnetic induction process.
[0059] Specifically, the single arm of the second U-shaped conductor rod 5 passes through the inner rings of the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 in sequence, with its end extending out of the housing 1. Except for the top end, the rest of the part passes through the U-shaped through slot of the lower housing 13, and through the through hole 126 of the support body 12 to provide a primary side port for the second winding coil 3, thereby realizing the current measurement function.
[0060] This invention integrates the design and fabrication of two types of current transformers, which reduces the space occupied by the product, is more conducive to the miniaturization and integration of electronic devices, significantly shortens the manufacturing process, simplifies the manufacturing steps, and greatly reduces manufacturing costs. By placing the two winding coils in the same housing, the problem of poor connection stability of simple stacked current transformers in the prior art is solved, which greatly improves the safety and reliability of the current transformer and its circuit.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, In step S2, the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 are prepared by selecting a first toroidal magnetic core and winding enameled wire with a preset number of turns and groups on the first toroidal magnetic core to obtain the first winding coil 2; selecting a second toroidal magnetic core and winding enameled wire with a preset number of turns on the second toroidal magnetic core to obtain the second winding coil 3.
[0062] Specifically, the pin 6 of the present invention is connected to the ends of the first coil and the second coil and is snapped into the pin groove 128. The pin 6 is provided with a pin buckle 61, which matches the snap-fit buckle 129 on the side of the support body 12 near the pin groove 128, for fixing the pin 6 and ensuring a stable connection between the winding coil and the external circuit.
[0063] Specifically, this invention integrates power metering and leakage protection functions into a single transformer. Compared to traditional separate power metering and leakage protection transformers, this reduces the product's footprint, achieves device miniaturization, and the integrated manufacturing process significantly shortens the manufacturing process, simplifies manufacturing procedures, and greatly reduces manufacturing costs. The support body 12 supports and fixes the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3, allowing the first winding coil 2 and the second winding coil 3 to be stably placed inside the housing 1 without contacting each other, ensuring the normal operation of the transformer and guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the transformer and its circuit.
[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the implementation and protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
