[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the sheath 2 includes: a first end plate 21, a second end plate 22, a top plate 23 and a bottom plate 24. The first end plate 21 is provided with a first through hole 211, and the second end plate 22 is provided with a second through hole 221. One end of the top plate 23 is connected to the side wall of the first end plate 21, and the other end of the top plate 23 is connected to the side wall of the second end plate 22. The bottom surface of the top plate 23 is flush with the top hole wall of the first through hole 211 and the top hole wall of the second through hole 221. One end of the bottom plate 24 is connected to the side wall of the first end plate 21, and the other end of the bottom plate 24 is connected to the side wall of the second end plate 22, and the top surface of the bottom plate 24 is flush with the bottom hole wall of the first through hole 211 and the bottom hole wall of the second through hole 221.

[0046] The first through hole 211 and the second through hole 221 are both adapted to the iron core 1, and the iron core 1 passes through the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 221, respectively. The shapes of the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 are adapted to the shape of the iron core 1. For example, if the iron core 1 is roughly semicircular, the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 are both in the shape of a minor arc ring. The top plate 23 covers a portion of the top surface of the iron core 1, and the bottom plate 24 covers a portion of the bottom surface of the iron core 1. Openings are formed on both the inner and outer sides of the sheath 2. Optionally, the thickness of the top plate 23 is the same as the thickness of the bottom plate 24.

[0047] The first insulating layer 3 is provided on the inner side of the core 1. The first insulating layer 3 is connected to the first end plate 21, the second end plate 22, the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 respectively. The first insulating layer 3 closes the inner opening of the sheath 2. The thickness of the first insulating layer 3 is less than that of the top plate 23.

[0049] The sheath 2, first insulating layer 3, and second insulating layer 4 are all made of insulating materials. The coil 5 is formed by winding enameled wire around the sheath 2. The first insulating layer 3 insulates the inner wall of the core 1 from the coil 5, while the second insulating layer 4 insulates the outer wall of the core 1 from the coil 5.

[0050] In this embodiment, the core 1 and coil 5 are insulated by the sheath 2, the first insulating layer 3, and the second insulating layer 4. The thickness of the first insulating layer 3 and the second insulating layer 4 are both less than that of the top plate 23, making the coil more compact during winding and reducing the total length of the coil, thereby reducing the overall volume and weight of the current transformer. Furthermore, the miniaturized current transformer offers greater flexibility during installation and use, making it suitable for a variety of compact installation environments.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first insulating layer 3 and the second insulating layer 4 are respectively bonded to the iron core 1 to more firmly fix the first insulating layer 3 and the second insulating layer 4 .

[0053] In some embodiments, the thickness of the insulating film is 0.05-0.2 mm, and the thickness of the top plate 23 and the thickness of the bottom plate 24 are both 0.6-0.8 mm.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the first end plate 21 includes a first sub-plate 212 and a second sub-plate 213. One end of the top plate 23 is connected to the first sub-plate 212, and one end of the bottom plate 24 is connected to the second sub-plate 213. A first groove 214 is provided on the bottom surface of the first sub-plate 212, and a second groove 215 is provided on the top surface of the second sub-plate 213.

When the coil 5 is wound on the sheath 2, one end of the coil 5 abuts the first end plate 21, and the other end of the coil 5 abuts the second end plate 22. The first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22 serve to limit the coil 5.

[0058] In addition, the first end plate 21 and the second end plate 22 cooperate with the structure of the housing 10 to fix the winding assembly.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the sheath 2 further includes a first positioning structure 25, which is disposed on the top plate 23 and / or the bottom plate 24. For example, the first positioning structure 25 includes a first positioning post 251 and a second positioning post 252, wherein the first positioning post 251 is disposed on the top plate 23 and the second positioning post 252 is disposed on the bottom plate 24.

The wire retaining groove 26 engages with the wire to prevent loosening of the connection between the wire and the coil 5. Optionally, a wire retaining groove 26 is also provided on the first end plate 21.

The second chips 13 are stacked alternately with the first chips 12, and adjacent first chips 12 and second chips 13 are staggered along the circumference of the core 1.

[0063] Optionally, the first chip 12 and the second chip 13 are both substantially semicircular in shape. Two adjacent first chips 12 form a first slot 14 at one end of the core 1 , and two adjacent second chips 13 form a second slot 15 at the other end of the core 1 .

[0064] like Figure 8As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a winding mechanism 200, which includes a first winding assembly 210 and a second winding assembly 220. The first winding assembly 210 and the second winding assembly 220 are both the winding assembly 100 described above. The iron core of the second winding assembly 220 abuts against the iron core of the first winding assembly 210. For example, one end of the iron core of the first winding assembly 210 is plugged into one end of the iron core of the second winding assembly 220, and the other end of the iron core of the first winding assembly 210 is plugged into the other end of the iron core of the second winding assembly 220.
