Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a current transformer, in particular to an adjustable current transformer. Background Art

[0002] The current transformer is an instrument that converts a large primary current into a small secondary current for measurement based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The current transformer is composed of a closed iron core and a winding. Its primary winding has very few turns and is connected in series in the circuit of the current to be measured, so it often has the entire current of the circuit flowing through it. The secondary winding has more turns and is connected in series in the measuring instrument and the protection circuit. When the current transformer is working, its secondary circuit is closed, so the impedance of the series coil of the measuring instrument and the protection circuit is very small, and the working state of the current transformer is close to a short circuit. When the number of turns of the primary winding remains unchanged, the current of the secondary winding is related to the number of turns of the secondary winding. When the current of the secondary winding needs to be adjusted according to different measurement needs, and adjusting the current of the secondary winding requires adjusting the number of turns of the secondary winding. Therefore, an adjustable current transformer is needed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] In the present utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words contained in terms such as "up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside" merely represent the orientation of the terms in normal usage, or are common names understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the terms.

[0029] See also Figure 1-8The adjustable current transformer shown includes a ring-shaped iron core 1; a primary winding 2 is wound on one side of the ring-shaped iron core 1, and a plurality of secondary windings 3 with different numbers of winding turns are wound on the other side; a first end of each secondary winding 3 is connected to a first conductive sheet 4, and a second end of each secondary winding 3 is connected to a second conductive sheet 5; a plurality of the first conductive sheets 4 are arranged on the left side of a support plate 18, and a plurality of the second conductive sheets 5 are arranged on the right side of the support plate 18; the spacing between two adjacent first conductive sheets 4 is the same as the spacing between two adjacent second conductive sheets 5; a movable plate 22 is arranged above the support plate 18, and two third conductive sheets 6 are arranged at the bottom of the movable plate 22; the two third conductive sheets 6 are arranged to be able to contact the first conductive sheet 4 and the second conductive sheet 5 on the same secondary winding 3 respectively; the support plate 18 is connected to a driving mechanism for driving it to move and enable the two third conductive sheets 6 to switch and connect different secondary windings 3; the two third conductive sheets 6 are electrically connected to a measuring circuit 7 for connecting a measuring instrument or a protection circuit 8.

[0030] Through the implementation of the above technical solution, the driving mechanism in the adjustable current transformer drives the support plate 18 to move, so that the two third conductive plates 6 arranged on the movable plate 22 switch to connect the first conductive plates 4 and the second conductive plates 5 at the two ends of different secondary windings 3, so that the measuring instrument or the protection circuit 8 switches different secondary windings 3. Since the number of windings of each secondary winding 3 is different, the current ratio can be adjusted. Figure 1 As shown, taking three secondary windings 3 as an example, the distance between the three first conductive sheets 4 from top to bottom is 2 cm, the three first conductive sheets 4 are respectively the first ends of the three secondary windings 3, the distance between the three second conductive sheets 5 is 2 cm, the three second conductive sheets 5 are respectively the second ends of the three secondary windings 3, and the distance between the two third conductive sheets 6 is 10 cm.

[0031] During operation, when one of the third conductive sheets 6 contacts the first end of the first secondary winding 3, the other third conductive sheet 6 contacts the second end of the first secondary winding 3; when one of the third conductive sheets 6 contacts the first end of the second secondary winding 3, the other third conductive sheet 6 contacts the second end of the second secondary winding 3; when one of the third conductive sheets 6 contacts the first end of the third secondary winding 3, the other third conductive sheet 6 contacts the second end of the third secondary winding 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, in order to further provide a driving method for the movable plate 22, the support plate 18 is fixedly connected to the cover shell 9, the movable plate 22 is arranged above the support plate 18, and the rear end of the movable plate 22 is evenly spaced with a plurality of vertical grooves 23 with openings facing downward. The rear end of the cover shell 9 is equipped with a motor 11, the shaft 24 of the motor 11 extends into the cover shell 9 and is equipped with a cam 25, and the far end of the cam 25 is provided with a lever 26 parallel to the shaft 24 and capable of extending into the vertical groove 23. The working process is as follows: the motor 11 drives the cam 25 to rotate, driving the lever 26 to revolve around the shaft 24. When the lever 26 moves upward to the vertical slot 23, the limiting effect of the vertical slot 23 pushes the movable plate 22 to move horizontally for a certain distance. As the lever 26 continues to revolve, the lever 26 moves downward and drives out of the vertical slot 23. At this time, the movable plate 22 stops moving, and the two third conductive sheets 6 fall on the first conductive sheet 4 and the second conductive sheet 5 at both ends of the other secondary winding 3 respectively.

[0033] In this embodiment, at least two guide rods 17 are arranged above the movable plate 22 in the housing 9, and a guide block 16 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 17, and the guide block 16 is connected to the movable plate 22 via a plurality of elastic telescopic rods 19.

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to further provide a way of connecting the third conductive sheet 6 to the outside, a spring wire 20 electrically connected to the two third conductive sheets 6 is provided between the movable plate 22 and the guide block 16, and a conductive sleeve 15 electrically connected to the two spring wires 20 is provided at the upper end of the guide block 16, and a conductive strip 14 is slidably inserted into the conductive sleeve 15, and the conductive strip 14 extends to the outside of the cover 9 and is electrically connected to the measuring instrument or the protection circuit 8.

The upper end of the spring wire 20 passes through the guide block 16 and is electrically connected to the conductive sleeve 15. Two conductive sleeves 15 are also correspondingly provided, and are electrically connected to the two spring wires 20 respectively. The conductive strip 14 is slidably inserted into the conductive sleeve 15 and is slidably electrically connected to the conductive sleeve 15, which can overcome the influence of the left and right sliding of the guide block 16. Two conductive strips 14 are also correspondingly provided with the conductive sleeves 15, and are fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover shell 9.

Through such an arrangement, the position of the vertical slot 23 is raised, so that the installation height of the motor 11 can be increased, and the problem of occupying a large space when the lever 26 is rotated to the bottom position is overcome.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to further provide an elastic telescopic rod 19, the elastic telescopic rod 19 includes a sleeve 28 fixed to the bottom side of the guide block 16, a movable rod 29 fixed to the upper surface of the movable plate 22 is slidably arranged in the sleeve 28, and a reset spring 27 is connected to the top of the movable rod 29, and the reset spring 27 is connected to the bottom surface of the guide block 16.

After the reset spring 27 is reset, the third conductive sheet 6 can be stably pressed and contacted on the first conductive sheet 4 or the second conductive sheet 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to further provide an installation method for the annular iron core 1, a protective shell 10 is provided at the upper end of the cover shell 9, the annular iron core 1 is arranged in the protective shell 10, the two ends of the primary side winding 2 are arranged through one side of the protective shell 10, and the two ends of the secondary side winding 3 are arranged through the other side of the protective shell 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, a mounting plate 12 is disposed outside the housing 9, and a plurality of mounting holes 13 are disposed on the mounting plate 12.
