Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of current transformers, in particular to a current transformer for an intelligent molded case circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] The current transformers used in intelligent molded case circuit breakers play a vital role in the circuit. These transformers are mainly used to monitor the current strength passing through the circuit and transmit the current signal to the intelligent controller. The intelligent controller detects whether the circuit is overloaded, short-circuited or other faults based on these signals.

[0003] Common current transformers for intelligent molded case circuit breakers are generally protected by protective shells. When installing the current transformer, the current transformer is generally installed inside the protective shell through threaded rods. However, due to the small installation space between the molded case circuit breaker and the current transformer, it is difficult for workers to align the threaded rods with the connection between the current transformer and the molded case circuit breaker, which is inconvenient for workers to install the current transformer. At the same time, when disassembling the current transformer, it is also necessary to take out the threaded rods in a narrow place, which is inconvenient for workers to quickly disassemble and assemble the current transformer.

A second clamping plate 10 is arranged on the left side of the upper surface of the mounting plate 2. The second clamping plate 10 is connected to the surface of the mounting edge 8.

[0031] The motor 3 can be intelligently controlled through the electric control module 6 to control the start and stop of the motor 3. After starting, the motor 3 can drive the first gear 4 to rotate, and then drive the second gear 5 to rotate, so as to drive the eccentric wheel 7 to rotate and squeeze the mounting edge 8 and the first clamping plate 9. The mounting edge 8 will move to the right when squeezed, so as to drive the second clamping plate 10 to move to the right. The first clamping plate 9 will move to the left after being squeezed by the eccentric wheel 7, and then can move towards the second clamping plate 10 to clamp the connection of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, so that the current transformer housing 1 can be connected to the intelligent molded case circuit breaker. When the current transformer is disassembled, it is only necessary to start the motor 3 to drive the eccentric wheel 7 to rotate again, so as to drive the first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 10 not to clamp the connection of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, thereby facilitating the staff to quickly disassemble and assemble the current transformer.

[0033] Side baffles 12 are installed on the inner front and rear of the first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 10. The side baffles 12 are used to be clamped on the connection of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, so that the second clamping plate 10 and the first clamping plate 9 can install the current transformer housing 1 more firmly.

The electric control module 6 is connected to the surface of the motor 3 through a wire. The electric control module 6 adopts a PID control algorithm for closed-loop control and can be programmed accordingly according to different application scenarios to achieve adaptive control of the first gear 4, thereby intelligently controlling the installation of the second clamping plate 10 and the first clamping plate 9 on the current transformer housing 1.

[0037] Firstly, the device can intelligently control the motor 3 through the electric control module 6, which is used to control the start and stop of the motor 3. The electric control module 6 is composed of a driving chip, a power device, a filter and a power supply module. The electric control module 6 is connected to the surface of the motor 3 through a wire.

Then, after starting, the motor 3 can drive the first gear 4 to rotate, and then drive the second gear 5 to rotate, so as to drive the eccentric wheel 7 to rotate to squeeze the installation edge 8 and the first clamping plate 9. When the installation edge 8 is squeezed, it will move to the right. When 8 is squeezed to the right by the eccentric wheel 7 and moves, the second clamping plate 10 can be driven to move to the right by the limiting rod 11. The first clamping plate 9 will move to the left after being squeezed by the eccentric wheel 7, and then it can move towards the second clamping plate 10 to clamp the connection of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, so that the current transformer housing 1 can be connected with the intelligent molded case circuit breaker. Finally, when the current transformer is disassembled, it is only necessary to start the motor 3 to drive the eccentric wheel 7 to rotate again, so that the first clamping plate 9 and the second clamping plate 10 will not clamp the connection of the intelligent molded case circuit breaker, thereby facilitating the staff to quickly disassemble and assemble the current transformer. The second clamping plate 10 and the first clamping plate 9 can be reset by the reset spring 15, so that the first clamping plate 9 and the mounting edge 8 can always be in contact with the surface of the eccentric wheel 7.
