[0043] Example 1

[0044] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides a clamping mechanism, which includes:

[0045] The clamping unit 100 includes a clamping plate 101, a clamping plate 102 arranged on the side of the clamping plate 101, and a fixing component 103 arranged between the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 102; the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 102 are used to clamp and fix the surface of the object.

[0046] The connecting unit 200 includes a connecting base 201 disposed on the second clamping plate 102 and a hinge assembly 202 disposed on the connecting base 201; and the fastening unit 300 includes a mounting base 301 disposed on the second clamping plate 102 and a fastening assembly 302 disposed on the mounting base 301. The hinge assembly 202 is used to connect the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102, and is used to support the opening and closing of the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102. The fastening assembly 302 replaces the bolt and nut fixing method with a rotating downward pressing fastening method, so that the fixing between the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102 can be fixed without the use of additional auxiliary tools, reducing cumbersome steps and simplifying the fixing method between the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102.

[0047] The fastening assembly 302 includes a support base 302a mounted on one side of the mounting base 301, a positioning post 302b mounted on the support base 302a, a connecting plate 302c mounted on the positioning post 302b, and a return spring 302d mounted on the positioning post 302b. The return spring 302d is positioned between the support base 302a and the connecting plate 302c. The support base 302a is mounted on the mounting base 301, and the cross-sectional areas of the support base 302a and the mounting base 301 are equal, allowing the support base 302a to better fit the surface of the mounting base 301. The connecting plate 302c is used to connect the positioning column 302b and the torsion block 302g. The two ends of the return spring 302d are movably connected to the connecting plate 302c and the support seat respectively. The return spring 302d is pressed while the torsion block 302g is rotated to move the positioning column 302b downward in the tracking direction, and one end of the positioning column 302b is fixed in the mounting base 301, thereby fixing the clamping plate 101 on the clamping plate 2 102.

[0048] The fastening assembly 302 further includes a clamping block 302e disposed on the positioning post 302b, a positioning slot 1 302f disposed on the mounting base 301, a twisting block 302g disposed on the connecting plate 302c, and a positioning slot 2 302h disposed to one side of the positioning slot 1 302f. By securing the clamping block 302e in either the positioning slot 1 302f or the positioning slot 2 302h, the positioning post 302b can be secured to the mounting base 301.

[0049] During use, the operator places the cylindrical object between clamping plate 101 and clamping plate 2 102. After closing, the distance between clamping plate 101 and clamping plate 2 102 should be greater than the diameter of the object, so that clamping plate 101 and clamping plate 2 102 can adapt to cylindrical objects of different diameters.

[0050] When the operator wants to keep the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102 always fixed at a fixed point on the surface of the object, the block 302e at one end of the positioning column 302b can be positioned in the positioning groove 1 302f. When the operator wants to keep the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102 always fixed at a fixed point on the surface of the object, the block 302e at one end of the positioning column 302b can be positioned in the positioning groove 2 302h.

[0051] The tightening action between the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102 is completed through a single rotation and downward pressure action, reducing the need for multiple steps and making the entire process smoother. Since no additional tools are required, the operator's maintenance and inspection of the clamping mechanism becomes simpler.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the fixing assembly 103 includes an elastic strip 103a provided on the clamping plate 101, a fixing plate 103b provided on the elastic strip 103a, a fixing tooth 103c provided on the fixing plate 103b, and an elastic strip 2 103d provided on the fixing plate 103b. Elastic strip 103a and elastic strip 2 103d are used to fix and support the fixing plate 103b on the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102. The distance between the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102 after closing is greater than the diameter of the object. The fixing plate 103b is used to fix the object between the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102 to prevent the object between the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102 from shifting. The fixing teeth 103c on the fixing plate 103b increase the friction of the fixing plate 103b on the surface of the object.

[0054] Compared to Example 1, the hinge assembly 202 further comprises a hinge rod 202a disposed on the connecting base 201, a fixed shaft 202b disposed on the hinge rod 202a, and a hinge base 202c disposed on the fixed shaft 202b. The entire hinge assembly 202 is used to securely support the opening and closing of the first clamping plate 101 on the second clamping plate 102. When the first clamping plate 101 is opened and closed, the fixed shaft 202b, the hinge rod 202a, and the hinge base 202c are used to securely support the first clamping plate 101 at a certain angle on the second clamping plate 102.

[0055] During use, with the support of the hinge assembly 202, the clamping plate 101 opens and closes on the clamping plate 2 102. When the clamping plate 101 is closed on the clamping plate 2 102, the fixing plates 103b on the clamping plate 101 and the clamping plate 2 102 act on the surface of the object.

[0056] By fixing the object through the fixing plate 103b and the support of the hinge assembly 202, the opening and closing of the clamping plate becomes simple, reducing the complicated steps of using bolts and nuts, significantly improving the speed and efficiency of the clamping mechanism in fixing the object, and the fixing teeth 103c on the fixing plate 103b increase the friction between the fixing plate 103b and the object. The fixing teeth 103c on the fixing plate 103b increase the friction with the contact surface of the object, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the clamping.

[0057] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 6 , which is the third embodiment of the present utility model, is different from the second embodiment in that: a DC resistance tester further includes,

[0060] The transmission unit 400 includes a lead 401 mounted on the fixing assembly 103, a transmission assembly 1 402 mounted on one end of the lead 401, and a transmission assembly 2 403 mounted on one side of the transmission assembly 1 402. Furthermore, the measuring unit 500 includes a measuring instrument body 501 mounted on the transmission assembly 1 402, a power supply assembly 502 mounted on the measuring instrument body 501, and a terminal assembly 503 mounted on the measuring instrument body 501. The transmission assembly 1 402 and the transmission assembly 2 403 are used to transmit data detected by the clamping mechanism to the measuring instrument body 501.

[0061] Compared to Example 2, the transmission component 402 further comprises a fixed base 402a disposed on the measuring instrument body 501, a fixed sleeve 402b disposed on the fixed base 402a, and a socket 402c disposed on the fixed sleeve 402b. The measuring instrument body 501 is provided with a groove 504, and a power supply pin 505 is disposed on the groove 504. An external power supply is inserted into the groove 504, where it contacts the power supply pin 505 to energize the measuring instrument body 501. By inserting the lead 401 into the socket 402c, when the operator connects the lead 401 to one end of the clamping mechanism, the socket secures the lead 401, ensuring its connection to the transmission component 402. This connection allows the detected data to be smoothly transmitted to the measuring instrument body 501 for further processing and analysis.

[0062] Furthermore, the second transmission component 403 includes a second fixed base 403a mounted on the measuring instrument body 501, a second fixed sleeve 403b mounted on the second fixed base 403a, and a second socket 403c mounted on the second fixed sleeve 403b. A communication antenna 506 is mounted on the measuring instrument body 501, and an instrument touch screen 507 is mounted on one side of the communication antenna 506. By inserting the lead 401 into the second socket 403c, when the operator connects the lead 401 to one end of the clamping mechanism, the socket secures the lead 401, ensuring its connection to the second transmission component 403. This connection allows the detected data to be smoothly transmitted to the measuring instrument body 501 for further processing and analysis.

[0063] The power supply assembly 502 includes a fixed base 502a disposed on the measuring instrument body 501 and a button 502b disposed on the fixed base 502a. Pressing the button 502b on the power supply assembly 502 can turn on the measuring instrument body 501.

[0064] The terminal assembly 503 includes a fixed base 503a mounted on the measuring instrument body 501, and a ground terminal 503b mounted on the fixed base 503a. Ground terminal 503b provides a ground path for the DC resistance measuring instrument. In the event of an electrical fault, ground terminal 503b quickly directs the current to the ground, preventing electric shock and ensuring operator safety.

[0065] During use, before testing begins, the tester places measurement equipment on the high-voltage and low-voltage sides of the transformer, respectively. Test leads are used to connect the test instrument's terminals to the transformer's winding leads 401. Antenna technology is also used to establish a wireless communication link between the two measurement devices. When measuring AC / ac phase DC resistance, the instrument automatically shorts the high-voltage side BC phase lead 401 internally. When measuring AB / ab phase DC resistance, the instrument automatically shorts the high-voltage side AB phase lead 401 internally. When measuring BC / bc phase DC resistance, the instrument automatically shorts the high-voltage side AC phase lead 401 internally.

[0066] During the test, the tester only needs to control one device, such as the low-voltage device. This device sends a measurement command to the high-voltage device, triggering the high-voltage measurement process. Once the high-voltage device successfully receives the command, it immediately sends a "ready" signal back to the low-voltage device, indicating that it is ready for measurement.

[0067] Upon receiving the "Ready" signal, the low-voltage device initiates the delayed start command process. After the preset delay, both devices simultaneously inject current into the transformer windings. The low-voltage device simultaneously displays the high- and low-voltage side currents, as well as the real-time DC resistance values. During measurement, the device dynamically adjusts output current based on real-time feedback to ensure accurate measurement data. Finally, all measurement results are aggregated and displayed on the operating device.

[0068] In summary, testers only need to operate a single device to complete the DC resistance measurement of the entire transformer, significantly improving work efficiency. The device automatically adjusts the output current direction to accommodate DC resistance measurements with different phase sequences. By simultaneously inputting current to both the high and low voltage sides, the excitation process is accelerated, shortening measurement time and improving data accuracy.

[0069] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 2.

[0070] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
