Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of current transformer technology, specifically to a snap-fit ​​positioning device for a toroidal current transformer. Background Technology

[0002] A current transformer is an instrument that measures current by converting a large primary current into a small secondary current based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. A current transformer consists of a closed iron core and windings. Its primary winding has very few turns and is connected in series with the circuit whose current needs to be measured.

[0003] Therefore, it often carries the entire current of the circuit, resulting in a relatively large number of turns in the secondary winding. Connected in series with measuring instruments and protection circuits, the secondary circuit of the current transformer is always closed during operation. Consequently, the impedance of the series coils in the measuring instruments and protection circuits is very small, and the operating state of the current transformer is close to a short circuit. The current transformer converts a large primary current into a small secondary current for measurement; the secondary side must not be open-circuited.

[0004] A toroidal current transformer includes two semi-ring inductor units. The outer sides of one end of the two semi-ring inductor units are hinged together by a hinge shaft. The semi-ring inductor units can be opened by the hinge shaft, allowing the circuit to be tested to be placed between the two inductor units through the opening. The other end is provided with a locking part, which connects the two semi-ring inductor units to form a ring. When a circuit needs to be tested, the wire is passed through the inner hole formed by the combination of the two semi-ring inductor units. Therefore, the toroidal current transformer can be used to test wires smaller than the diameter of the inner hole. However, when encountering primary wires with a thinner diameter, it cannot be fixed, which may result in inaccurate circuit data or even failure to measure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the existing technology and provide a snap-fit ​​positioning device for a toroidal current transformer.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is to design a snap-fit ​​positioning device for a ring current transformer, comprising two semi-ring current transformer units, wherein a detachable snap-fit ​​is fitted onto any one of the semi-ring current transformer units, the snap-fit ​​having a connecting part, and a detachable rigid coil being provided on the connecting part, the axis of the rigid coil being parallel to the axis of the inner hole formed by the combination of the two semi-ring current transformer units.

[0007] A further preferred technical solution is that the buckle includes a first snap-fit ​​portion and a second snap-fit ​​portion. The first snap-fit ​​portion has snap-fit ​​ends at both ends, and the second snap-fit ​​portion has snap-fit ​​holes at both ends. The first snap-fit ​​portion is located on one side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit, and the second snap-fit ​​portion is located on the other side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit. The snap-fit ​​end of one end of the first snap-fit ​​portion engages with the snap-fit ​​hole of the corresponding end of the second snap-fit ​​portion, and the snap-fit ​​end of the other end of the first snap-fit ​​portion engages with the snap-fit ​​hole of the corresponding end of the second snap-fit ​​portion, so that the first snap-fit ​​portion and the second snap-fit ​​portion are fixedly fitted onto the semi-ring mutual inductance unit.

[0008] A further preferred technical solution is that the first snap-fit ​​portion has a first intermediate portion that matches the side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit. The first intermediate portion is fan-shaped, and one end of the first intermediate portion has a snap-fit ​​end that bends toward the opposite side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit. The other end of the first intermediate portion also has a snap-fit ​​end that bends toward the opposite side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit.

[0009] A further preferred technical solution is that the second snap-fit ​​portion has a second intermediate portion that matches the side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit. The second intermediate portion is fan-shaped, and one end of the second intermediate portion has a snap-fit ​​hole that bends toward the opposite side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit. The other end of the second intermediate portion also has a snap-fit ​​hole that bends toward the opposite side of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit.

[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that the buckle includes a first clamp and a second clamp, with one end of the first clamp and the second clamp hinged together and the other end connected by bolts and nuts.

[0011] A further preferred technical solution is that the connecting part protrudes from the second snap-fit ​​part, the connecting part has a slot with an opening facing the outside of the second snap-fit ​​part, the slot is fan-shaped, and the rigid coil can be snapped into the slot.

[0012] The advantages and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the wire can be fixed by the detachable buckle and rigid coil, which can be used to test wires smaller than the inner diameter, thus improving the accuracy of the measured circuit data. Moreover, it can be adapted to wires of different diameters by changing the inner diameter of the rigid coil. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the toroidal current transformer includes two semi-ring current transformer units 10. The outer sides of one end of each semi-ring current transformer unit 10 are hinged together via a hinge shaft. The semi-ring current transformer unit 10 can be opened via the hinge shaft, allowing the circuit to be tested to be placed between the two current transformer units 10 through the opening. A locking part is provided at the other end, which connects the two semi-ring current transformer units 10 to form a ring. The locking part includes a locking block and a locking plate. The locking block and locking plate are respectively disposed on the outer wall of the end of the two semi-ring current transformer units 10 away from the hinge axis. When the two semi-ring current transformer units 10 are fastened together, the locking block is engaged in the slot of the locking plate. The locking plate has a certain elasticity. By prying the locking plate outward, the locking block disengages from the slot, allowing the two current transformer units 10 to separate again. The semi-ring current transformer unit 10 has an annular mounting groove and a semi-circular assembly inside. The semi-circular assembly is disposed in the annular mounting groove. When it is necessary to test the circuit, the wire 50 is passed through the inner hole formed by the combination of the two semi-ring current transformer units 10. Therefore, the annular current transformer can be used to test small... When a wire with an inner diameter of 50 encounters a primary wire with a smaller diameter, it cannot be fixed, which may lead to inaccurate circuit data or even the inability to measure. This application provides a snap-fit ​​positioning device for a toroidal current transformer. A detachable snap-fit ​​is fitted onto any one of the semi-toroidal current transformer units 10. The snap-fit ​​has a connecting part 40, and a detachable rigid coil 60 is provided on the connecting part 40.

Specifically, the first engaging portion 20 has a first intermediate portion 21 that matches the side surface of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit 10. Preferably, the first intermediate portion 21 is a fan-shaped piece.

The connecting portion 40 has a slot 41 with an opening facing the outside of the semi-ring mutual inductance unit 10. The slot 41 is fan-shaped. The rigid coil 60 can be snapped into the slot 41.

[0019] In another embodiment, the buckle includes a first clamp and a second clamp, one end of the first clamp and the second clamp are hinged together, and the other end is connected by a bolt and nut.
