The use of "first" or "second" is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated, or implicitly indicating the order of the technical features indicated.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0037] In related technology, to improve the measurement accuracy of electricity meters, a transformer is typically installed on the meter. The transformer is typically mounted on a copper sheet. Because the transformer's inner diameter is larger than the copper sheet's width, the transformer is prone to shaking after installation, causing damage to the transformer. Therefore, a silicone component is typically mounted on the copper sheet, and the transformer is mounted on the silicone component to prevent damage to the transformer by the copper sheet. Due to the existing copper sheet's irregular structure, the silicone component needs to be twisted before it can be fixed to the copper sheet. This makes the silicone component assembly complex and affects the efficiency of the transformer assembly.

[0038] Based on this, this embodiment sets a flexible part 200 between the conductive part 300 and the mutual inductor 100, and the conductive part 300 is directly inserted into the limiting hole 201 through the avoidance hole 202, and the mutual inductor 100 is sleeved on the flexible part 200. The flexible part 200 is connected to the mutual inductor 100 by an interference fit. On the one hand, it can prevent the mutual inductor 100 from being damaged by the conductive part 300, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter. On the other hand, it can simplify the assembly steps of the flexible part 200, and there is no need to move and rotate the flexible part 200 on the conductive part 300 along the length direction of the conductive part 300, so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the mutual inductor 100.

[0039] In the embodiment, the conductive piece 300 is a copper sheet, the conductive piece 300 comprises a first conductive section 310, a second conductive section 320 and a third conductive section 330 arranged between the first conductive section 310 and the second conductive section 320, the first conductive section 310, the second conductive section 320 and the third conductive section 330 integrally have a U-shaped structure, the first conductive section 310 is oppositely arranged with the second conductive section 320, the first conductive section 310 and the second conductive section 320 are both arranged in a bent mode with the third conductive section 330, the third conductive section 330 is arranged through the limiting hole 201, the first conductive section 310 and the second conductive section 320 are respectively electrically connected with the circuit on the circuit board of the electric energy meter, the conductive piece 300 can reduce the occupied space on the circuit board, so that the space utilization rate of the circuit board is improved.

[0040] With the specific structure of the conductive piece 300 as an example, the assembly mode of the conventional flexible piece 200 is that the first conductive section 310 passes through the limiting hole 201 first, then the flexible piece 200 is rotated, so that the flexible piece 200 passes through the corner between the first conductive section 310 and the third conductive section 330, and then the flexible piece 200 is moved, so that the third conductive section 330 is arranged through the limiting hole 201, since the angle of the corner between the first conductive section 310 and the third conductive section 330 is generally 90°, the flexible piece 200 cannot smoothly pass through the corner between the first conductive section 310 and the third conductive section 330, the installation difficulty of the flexible piece 200 is large, and the assembly efficiency of the flexible piece 200 is low.

[0041] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 respectively show an assembly schematic view and an exploded schematic view of the installation structure of the mutual inductor according to an embodiment of the utility model, Figure 3The figure is a schematic diagram of the structure of the flexible part 200 of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the transformer installation structure includes a transformer 100, a flexible part 200 and a conductive part 300. The internal hollow space of the transformer 100 forms a through hole 101. The flexible part 200 is arranged between the transformer 100 and the conductive part 300. The outer peripheral surface of the flexible part 200 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 101. The flexible part 200 is provided with a limiting hole 201 and an avoidance hole 202. The avoidance hole 202 is connected to the limiting hole 201. Along the axial direction of the flexible part 200, the limiting hole 201 and the avoidance hole 202 both pass through the two ends of the flexible part 200. Along the radial direction of the flexible part 200, the avoidance hole 202 passes through the flexible part 201. 00, the conductive part 300 is passed through the limiting hole 201. On the one hand, when installing the flexible part 200, the conductive part 300 directly passes through the avoidance hole 202 and enters the limiting hole 201, which can simplify the assembly steps of the flexible part 200. The flexible part 200 does not need to pass through the first conductive segment 310 and then move to the third conductive segment 330, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the flexible part 200. On the other hand, the conductive part 300 and the transformer 100 can be separated so that the conductive part 300 does not contact the transformer 100, which can prevent the inner surface of the through hole 101 from being damaged by the conductive part 300, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter.

[0042] For example, Figure 3 As shown, along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the mutual inductor 100, the avoidance hole 202 and the limiting hole 201 are overall T-shaped structures, the cross-sections of the avoidance hole 202 and the limiting hole 201 are both rectangular, and the length direction of the cross-section of the avoidance hole 202 is perpendicular to the length direction of the cross-section of the limiting hole 201. When installing the flexible part 200, the third conductive segment 330 can be aligned with the avoidance hole 202. Thereafter, the third conductive segment 330 is moved to the connecting position of the avoidance hole 202 and the limiting hole 201, and the flexible part 200 is rotated to allow the third conductive segment 330 to enter the limiting hole 201. The third conductive segment 330 abuts against the side wall of the limiting hole 201, so that the third conductive segment 330 cannot automatically move from the limiting hole 201 to the avoidance hole 202, which can prevent the inner circumference of the through hole 101 from being damaged by the conductive part 300, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter.

[0043] Moreover, after the transformer 100, the flexible part 200 and the conductive part 300 are installed as a whole, the third conductive segment 330 cannot move from the limiting hole 201 to the avoidance hole 202, which can prevent the conductive part 300 from damaging the transformer 100, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter. It will not be described in detail here.

[0044] As another implementation, one end of the length direction of the avoiding hole 202 is connected with one end of the length direction of the limiting hole 201, the avoiding hole 202 and the limiting hole 201 are in an L-shaped structure as a whole, and the third conductive segment 330 can also enter the limiting hole 201 through the avoiding hole 202, which is not limited herein.

[0045] As another implementation, in the direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the mutual inductor 100, the cross section of the limiting hole 201 can also be an elliptical structure, a hexagonal structure, a triangular structure or other non-circular structures, and correspondingly, the cross section of the conductive member 300 is also an elliptical structure, a hexagonal structure, a triangular structure or other non-circular structures, which is not repeated herein.

[0046] It should be noted that the flexible member 200 is made of soft rubber material, which can be rubber or silicone material. On the one hand, the soft rubber material is relatively soft, which can prevent the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 101 from being scratched by the flexible member 200, so as to ensure the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter. On the other hand, the flexible member 200 is connected with the mutual inductor 100 in an interference fit manner. When the mutual inductor 100 is inserted and fitted with the flexible member 200, the flexible member 200 can be deformed to adapt the outer diameter size of the flexible member 200 to the inner diameter size of the mutual inductor 100, so as to facilitate the mutual inductor 100 to be sleeved on the flexible member 200, thereby limiting the mutual inductor 100 from shaking relative to the flexible member 200.

[0047] It can be understood that the mutual inductor 100 in the embodiment can be a current transformer 100 or a voltage transformer 100, which is not limited herein.

[0048] For example Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment, in the direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the mutual inductor 100, the cross section of the limiting hole 201 is a non-circular structure, and the cross section of the conductive member 300 is a corresponding non-circular structure. The size of the cross section of the limiting hole 201 matches the size of the cross section of the conductive member 300. When the conductive member 300 is arranged in the limiting hole 201, the conductive member 300 can abut against the side wall of the limiting hole 201, so as to limit the flexible member 200 from rotating relative to the conductive member 300, thereby limiting the mutual inductor 100 from rotating relative to the conductive member 300, and improving the safety and stability of the mutual inductor 100.

[0049] Referring to Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 4 is a front view of the mutual inductor installation structure of an embodiment of the utility model, Figure 5 is Figure 4 a sectional view of line A-A in Figure 6 is Figure 4 a sectional view of line B-B in Figure 7 is Figure 4Cross-sectional view taken along line CC. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the flexible member 200 includes a first elastic portion 210, a second elastic portion 220, and a connecting portion 230. One side of the connecting portion 230 is connected to the first elastic portion 210, and the other side of the connecting portion 230 is connected to the second elastic portion 220. The first elastic portion 210, the second elastic portion 220, and the connecting portion 230 enclose a limiting hole 201, and the first elastic portion 210 and the second elastic portion 220 are arranged relative to each other to form an avoidance hole 202. When the conductive member 300 enters the limiting hole 201 from the avoidance hole 202, due to the matching cross-sectional dimensions of the limiting hole 201 and the conductive member 300, there is a certain interference between the conductive member 300 and the sidewall of the limiting hole 201. By providing the first elastic portion 210 and the second elastic portion 220, the width of the limiting hole 201 can be elastically expanded to reduce the interference between the conductive member 300 and the sidewall of the limiting hole 201, thereby facilitating the installation of the flexible member 200.

[0050] It should be noted that, since the flexible member 200 is made of soft rubber material, the material of the soft rubber material itself has a certain elasticity. Taking the avoidance hole 202 and the limiting hole 201 as an example of a T-shaped structure as a whole, when installing the flexible member 200, one side of the conductive member 300 enters the limiting hole 201 near the first elastic portion 210 from the avoidance hole 202. At this time, the first elastic portion 210 is stretched open, and the minimum distance between the first elastic portion 210 and the second elastic portion 220 increases. After the conductive member 300 is moved into place, the flexible member 200 is rotated relative to the conductive member 300 so that the other side of the conductive member 300 is extended from the avoidance hole. 202 enters the end of the limiting hole 201 close to the second elastic part 220. At this time, the second elastic part 220 is stretched, and the minimum distance between the first elastic part 210 and the second elastic part 220 is increased, which can facilitate the conductive part 300 to pass through the avoidance hole 202 and enter the limiting hole 201. When the conductive part 300 is inserted into the limiting hole 201, the first elastic part 210 and the second elastic part 220 rebound, and the first elastic part 210 and the second elastic part 220 are both bounded by the conductive part 300 to limit the conductive part 300 from shaking in the limiting hole 201, which can improve the installation stability of the transformer 100.

[0051] It can be understood that when the mutual inductor 100 and the flexible part 200 are interference fit, since the flexible part 200 is made of soft rubber material, the inner circumference of the through hole 101 can squeeze the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230 to cause deformation. On the one hand, it can ensure that the side wall of the limiting hole 201 is in contact with the conductive part 300. On the other hand, it can limit the movement of the first elastic part 210 and the second elastic part 220 in a direction away from each other, so that the conductive part 300 can be stably installed in the limiting hole 201, which can improve the installation stability of the mutual inductor 100.

[0052] For exampleFigure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown in FIGS. 13, 14 and 15, in the embodiment, the grooves 203 are arranged on the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230, and are recessed along the axial direction of the mutual inductor 100. On the one hand, the grooves 203 can save the material cost of the flexible part 200 and reduce the weight of the flexible part 200. On the other hand, the deformation of the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230 can be increased. When the conductive part 300 abuts against the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 or the connecting part 230, the cross section of the corresponding groove 203 is reduced to reduce the interference between the conductive part 300 and the flexible part 200, and the flexible part 200 can be conveniently installed.

[0053] For example, when one side of the conductive part 300 enters the end of the limiting hole 201 close to the first elastic part 210 along the avoiding hole 202, the conductive part 300 abuts against the first elastic part 210 and the connecting part 230 respectively. At this time, the groove 203 on the first elastic part 210 and the groove 203 on the connecting part 230 are deformed, and the cross section of the groove 203 on the first elastic part 210 and the groove 203 on the connecting part 230 is reduced to reduce the interference between the conductive part 300 and the flexible part 200, so that one side of the conductive part 300 can smoothly enter the end of the limiting hole 201 close to the first elastic part 210 along the avoiding hole 202. Then, the flexible part 200 is rotated, the other side of the conductive part 300 abuts against the second elastic part 220, the groove 203 on the second elastic part 220 is deformed, and the groove 203 on the second elastic part 220 is reduced, so that the other side of the conductive part 300 can smoothly enter the end of the limiting hole 201 close to the second elastic part 220, and the flexible part 200 can be conveniently installed.

[0054] It should be noted that the grooves 203 can also be arranged on any two of the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230, i.e., the first elastic part 210 and the second elastic part 220 are provided with the grooves 203, or the first elastic part 210 and the connecting part 230 are provided with the grooves 203, or the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230 are provided with the grooves 203, which is not limited herein.

[0055] It should be noted that the grooves 203 can also be arranged on any one of the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230, which is not limited herein.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230 are all provided with reinforcing ribs 204, and the reinforcing ribs 204 are arranged in the corresponding grooves 203. One side of the reinforcing rib 204 is connected to the side of the groove 203 close to the limiting hole 201, and the other opposite side of the reinforcing rib 204 is connected to the side of the groove 203 away from the limiting hole 201. By providing the reinforcing ribs 204, the structural strength of the flexible part 200 can be improved, thereby improving the service life of the flexible part 200.

[0057] It should be noted that the number of reinforcing ribs 204 is positively correlated with the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 203, that is, the larger the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 203, the more reinforcing ribs 204 are required. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 203 located on the first elastic part 210 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 203 located on the connecting part 230, the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 203 located on the second elastic part 220 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the groove 203 located on the connecting part 230, and there are three reinforcing ribs 204 located on the connecting part 230, and there is one reinforcing rib 204 located on the first elastic part 210 and one reinforcing rib 204 located on the second elastic part 220, which can ensure the structural strength of the flexible part 200.

[0058] It should be pointed out that in the length direction of the limiting hole 201, the reinforcing ribs 204 located on the first elastic part 210 and the reinforcing ribs 204 located on the second elastic part 220 are staggered with the reinforcing ribs 204 located on the connecting part 230, so that the reinforcing ribs 204 located on the first elastic part 210, the reinforcing ribs 204 located on the second elastic part 220 and the reinforcing ribs 204 located on the connecting part 230 can support different positions of the third conductive segment 330, so as to improve the installation stability of the third conductive segment 330 in the limiting hole 201.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first elastic portion 210 , the second elastic portion 220 and the connecting portion 230 are an integrated structure, which can reduce the number of molds, thereby reducing the production cost of the molds and thus reducing the production cost of the flexible member 200 .

[0060] For example, the first elastic portion 210 , the second elastic portion 220 and the connecting portion 230 are integrally formed by injection molding. The flexible component 200 is a soft plastic component structure, which is durable and can increase the service life of the flexible component 200 .

[0061] As another embodiment, the first elastic portion 210, the second elastic portion 220 and the connecting portion 230 may be connected by welding, wherein the welding method includes but is not limited to resistance welding, laser welding or ultrasonic welding, etc., which are not limited here.

[0062] In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the flexible member 200 is connected to a rib 240, which extends along the circumference of the flexible member 200. When the transformer 100 is sleeved on the flexible member 200, the rib 240 can block at least part of the end face of the transformer 100 to protect the end face of the transformer 100 from being damaged, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter.

[0063] It should be noted that the first elastic part 210, the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230 are all connected to the retaining edge 240, which can not only improve the connection strength between the connecting part 230 and the first elastic part 210, but also improve the connection strength between the connecting part 230 and the second elastic part 220, and can reduce the occurrence of disconnection between the first elastic part 210 and the connecting part 230, and reduce the occurrence of disconnection between the second elastic part 220 and the connecting part 230, thereby improving the service life of the flexible part 200.

[0064] As another embodiment, a plurality of ribs 240 may be provided, and the plurality of ribs 240 are spaced apart along the circumference of the flexible member 200 and can also shield at least a portion of the end face of the transformer 100 , which is not limited here.

[0065] For example Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, two positioning protrusions 301 are provided on the conductive member 300, one of the two positioning protrusions 301 is provided on one side of the width direction of the conductive member 300, and the other is provided on the other side of the width direction of the conductive member 300. In the width direction of the conductive member 300, the positioning protrusion 301 is extended in a direction away from the conductive member 300, and the positioning protrusion 301 abuts against the periphery of the limiting hole 201. On the one hand, the position of the transformer 100 on the conductive member 300 can be positioned to facilitate the installation of the transformer 100. On the other hand, the positioning protrusion 301 can be prevented from contacting the end face of the transformer 100 to prevent the end face of the transformer 100 from being damaged by the positioning protrusion 301, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter.

[0066] It should be noted that, when the cross-section of the limiting hole 201 is rectangular along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the transformer 100, the third width direction refers to the length direction of the cross-section of the limiting hole 201, the thickness direction of the conductive part 300 refers to the width direction of the cross-section of the limiting hole 201, and the length direction of the conductive part 300 refers to the axial direction of the transformer 100.

[0067] It should be noted that the positioning protrusion 301 may also be provided in the thickness direction of the conductive member 300 , and the positioning protrusion 301 extends in a direction away from the conductive member 300 .

[0068] As another embodiment, one positioning protrusion 301 may be provided. In this case, the positioning protrusion 301 is provided on one side of the width direction of the conductive member 300 , which is not limited here.

[0069] As another embodiment, the positioning protrusion 301 and the conductive member 300 may be an integrated structure, and the positioning protrusion 301 may also be fixed to the conductive member 300 by welding, wherein the welding method includes but is not limited to resistance welding, laser welding or ultrasonic welding.

[0070] Of course, in other specific embodiments, the positioning protrusion 301 can also be replaced by a positioning ring, which is sleeved on the conductive part 300 and connected to the conductive part 300 by welding. The positioning ring can also abut against the periphery of the limiting hole 201, which will not be described in detail here.

[0071] For example Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the transformer 100 on the flexible member 200, a guide portion 250 is provided at one end of the flexible member 200 away from the retaining edge 240. The guide portion 250 is configured as a chamfered structure. In the direction approaching the retaining edge 240, the distance between the guide portion 250 and the outer peripheral surface of the flexible member 200 gradually decreases, which can guide the flexible member 200 into the interior of the transformer 100 to facilitate the installation of the transformer 100, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the transformer 100.

[0072] As another embodiment, the guide portion 250 may also be replaced with a rounded structure that can guide the flexible member 200 into the interior of the transformer 100 , and this is not limited here.

[0073] The electric energy meter of the second embodiment of the present utility model includes the mutual inductor installation structure of the above embodiment.

[0074] The electric energy meter of the second embodiment of the present invention adopts the mutual inductor mounting structure of the first embodiment, by arranging the flexible part 200 between the conductive part 300 and the mutual inductor 100, the conductive part 300 is directly passed through the avoidance hole 202 and is arranged in the limit hole 201, and the mutual inductor 100 is sleeved on the flexible part 200, and the flexible part 200 is connected to the mutual inductor 100 by an interference fit. On the one hand, it can prevent the mutual inductor 100 from being damaged by the conductive part 300, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy of the electric energy meter. On the other hand, it can simplify the assembly steps of the flexible part 200, and there is no need to move and rotate the flexible part 200 on the conductive part 300 along the length direction of the conductive part 300, so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the mutual inductor 100.

[0075] Since the electric energy meter adopts all the technical solutions of the transformer installation structure of the above embodiment, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0076] The utility model makes a detailed description to one embodiment of the utility model in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above embodiment, still can make various changes in the knowledge range of the ordinary skill of the person skilled in the art without departing from the utility model's tenet.
