[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the utility model, the preferred implementation scheme of the utility model is described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent. In order to better illustrate this embodiment, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted. The positional relationship described in the drawings is only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on this patent.

[0020] Embodiment 1:

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a current sensor housing structure, comprising an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2, wherein the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are combined to form a receiving cavity, wherein a coil 3 and a circuit board 4 are arranged in the receiving cavity;

[0022] The outer side of the upper shell 1 is provided with a protrusion 11 , and the inner side of the lower shell 2 is provided with a slot 21 corresponding to the protrusion 11 . The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are connected by the protrusion 11 being inserted into the slot 21 .

[0023] Example:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a current sensor housing structure, comprising an upper housing 1 and a lower housing 2, wherein the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2 are combined to form a receiving cavity, wherein a coil 3 and a circuit board 4 are arranged in the receiving cavity;

[0025] The outer side of the upper shell 1 is provided with a protrusion 11 , and the inner side of the lower shell 2 is provided with a slot 21 corresponding to the protrusion 11 . The upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are connected by the protrusion 11 being inserted into the slot 21 .

[0026] The shell buckle adopts a design that is integrally formed with the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. During the installation process, no additional materials, such as screw fasteners, are required. Therefore, the buckle design realizes a low-cost installation method.

[0027] Furthermore, the installation process of the buckle is very simple, requiring only a push action, without the need for rotational movement or pre-installation positioning work, which is quick and simple, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0028] Traditional buckles are prone to breakage of the part connecting the bottom of the buckle to the main body due to fatigue effects or improper protection. It is difficult to repair the broken buckle device, which affects the qualified rate of the shell. The utility model has a hidden buckle design to better protect the buckle.

[0029] A first primary insulating square hole 12 is provided in the middle of the upper shell 1, and a second primary insulating square hole 22 is provided in the middle of the lower shell 2. The second primary insulating square hole 22 is embedded in the first primary insulating square hole 12, and the first primary insulating square hole 12 and the second primary insulating square hole 22 partially overlap.

[0030] Leakage current paths can be formed on the surface of the insulating material. If these leakage current paths form a conductive path, breakdown will occur. In order to increase the creepage distance, during the design of the housing, the first primary insulating square hole 12 and the second primary insulating square hole 22 are partially overlapped, which can greatly increase the distance of the current flow path, help ensure the reliability and safety of the circuit, and help ensure the quality of the sensor. Creepage distance refers to the shortest path between two conductive parts or between a conductive part and the protective interface of the equipment measured along the insulating surface.

[0031] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the lower housing 2 is provided with corners 23 around its periphery, and two of the corners 23 are provided with arc surfaces 24 .

[0032] After injection molding, the shell will have dents at the wall thickness due to volume shrinkage. This deformation is mainly caused by the inherent characteristics of the plastic material, the inconsistency between the wall thickness and the cooling speed of the outer surface. This deformation not only makes assembly difficult, but also easily causes product size deviations, affecting the product qualification rate. Increasing the thickness of the lower shell corners during the design process can effectively solve the problem of shell deformation after molding.

[0033] According to the description and drawings of the present invention, those skilled in the art can easily manufacture or use the current sensor housing structure of the present invention, and can produce the positive effects recorded in the present invention.
