Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of through-type carbon brush current sensors, in particular to a through-type carbon brush current sensor. Background Art

[0002] The existing generator's slip ring system is prone to excessive carbon brush current and high temperature during long-term operation. The high temperature caused by excessive current has a great destructive effect on the power system and sometimes causes casualties to operators. It is easy to cause damage to carbon brushes and slip rings, which can easily lead to major accidents.

[0003] Patent No. CN218824457U discloses a six-channel carbon brush current sensor. The insulating top plate is arranged on the top of the copper shell, and the copper shell forms the shell of the sensor. The Hall coil and the circuit board are installed in the cavity formed by the insulating top plate and the copper shell. The bottom surface of the circuit board is provided with six Hall coils in sequence. The circuit board and the insulating top plate are connected and fixed by copper screw sleeves. One end of the circuit board is connected to an aviation plug. It can monitor the carbon brush current of the collector ring in real time, convert and transmit signals in time, improve the safe operation of the equipment, and improve the reaction time of the staff. However, in this patent, it is necessary to rely on the cavity made of copper shell for conduction. The current needs to be conducted one by one from all sides. This is equivalent to increasing the length of the circuit, thereby increasing power consumption. More importantly, pure copper is expensive, and the manufacturing of its shell consumes a large amount of copper, which increases the cost of production.

[0004] In order to address the above problems, a through-type carbon brush current sensor is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a through-type carbon brush current sensor to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a through-type carbon brush current sensor is provided, comprising a housing, a current sensor, a PCB circuit board, a conductive screw, and an aviation plug. The housing is provided with a receiving cavity, in which a colloid is placed. A hollow conductive cylinder is provided through the colloid from top to bottom. The current sensor is arranged inside the colloid and corresponds one-to-one with the conductive cylinder. The current sensor is mounted on the PCB circuit board. The conductive screw passes through the current sensor, the PCB circuit board, the conductive cylinder, and the bottom of the housing in sequence from top to bottom. The PCB circuit board and the current sensor are both wrapped inside the colloid. There are at least two aviation plugs, which are located at both ends of the top of the housing and connected to the PCB circuit board via wires.

[0007] Furthermore, the shell is made of a composite material, wherein the composite material is specifically an aluminum-zinc alloy, and the conductive screw is specifically made of a copper material, wherein the thread is provided at the end, the middle part of the screw is inserted into the conductive column and combined with the conductive column to form a larger conductive cross-section to obtain better conductive performance.

[0008] Furthermore, the current sensor has a rectangular structure, with an opening at the center for the conductive column to pass through, and through holes for the conductive screws to pass through are provided at the bottom of the PCB circuit board and the housing.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the PCB circuit board are provided with jacks for fixing wires.

[0010] Furthermore, a total of four groups of connection lines are provided at the connection port of the aviation plug, two of which are power connection lines and the other two are communication connection lines.

[0011] Furthermore, the colloid is specifically formed by integrally casting an epoxy resin material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The conductive screws pass through the conductive columns and are assembled together, thereby forming a conductive columnar structure with a larger diameter inside the colloid. It should be noted that the shell mentioned in this application is made of composite materials instead of expensive pure copper materials. The conductive screws and the conductive columns are responsible for conducting electricity, which is safer than using the shell for conduction. More importantly, the conductive screws and the conductive columns require relatively less copper to manufacture, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0014] In the structural design of the conductive screw, the thread is provided at the end, and the middle part of the smooth part can better achieve seamless connection with the conductive column 7, obtain a larger contact area, and also enhance the stability of conduction;

[0015] Two aviation plugs are pulled out from both ends of the PCB circuit board through wires, which include two power connection lines and two communication connection lines. By setting the outlets at both ends, it is convenient for on-site installation and is more convenient than a single-end outlet. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
