Abstract

The utility model discloses a voltage and current meter, which belongs to the field of voltage and current technology. The application solves the technical problems that the prior art is inefficient in measuring power supply for fault detection of weak current equipment powered by a DC plug, and can only measure no-load voltage, while the no-load voltage is often normal, and the voltage drops when loaded, resulting in the measurement result having no reference significance. For example, measuring current will destroy the original line, affecting the beauty and stability of the original line. The voltage and current meter has a power input socket and a power output socket. The device powered by a DC plug unplugs the power plug from the powered device and inserts it into the power input socket of the voltage and current meter. The power output socket is connected to the powered device through a double male DC plug adapter line, and the real-time voltage and current value with load can be conveniently measured to accurately and quickly determine whether the power supply is normal.

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, weak-current equipment has been widely used in various fields of production and life. With the increasing number of electronic equipment, in order to ensure the safe and stable operation of weak-current electronic equipment, maintenance and repair work is becoming increasingly important. Standard and stable power supply is a necessary condition for the reliable and safe operation of weak-current electronic equipment. Therefore, voltage and ammeter are essential tools for maintenance personnel.

[0003] At present, most weak-current equipment is powered by plugs and sockets (such as surveillance cameras, bridges, switches, optical transceivers, etc.). According to research, in the prior art, in the process of measuring the power supply of weak-current equipment powered by DC plugs, the power plug can only be unplugged from the powered device for measurement, and only the voltage can be measured without measuring the current. In many cases in actual applications, the voltage is normal when the power plug is unplugged from the powered device, but the voltage will drop a lot after the powered device is connected, which cannot meet the needs of the powered device. In this case, the power plug can only be opened in the middle to measure whether the loaded power supply voltage is normal to make a correct judgment. If the current is to be measured, the power supply line must be disconnected in the middle before measurement. This leads to low troubleshooting measurement efficiency and destroys the beauty and reliable connection of the original line. Summary of the invention
