[0002] A general-purpose current sensor is an important detection device widely used in various fields such as power, electronics, and communications to measure and monitor current in circuits. It is a device that converts current signals in a circuit into proportional electrical signals or other forms of signals. It senses the information of the measured current and outputs this information in the form of a standard signal to meet the needs of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording, and control.
[0003] While bolt mounting is common and secure in the actual installation of circuit sensors, it also has significant drawbacks.
[0004] First, even slight deviations in the installation position can directly affect the precise alignment between the sensor and the object being measured, weakening its ability to capture and convert signals, thereby reducing the accuracy of the entire measurement system and potentially exacerbating nonlinear measurement errors.
[0005] Furthermore, misalignment of the mounting holes not only increases installation difficulty and time costs, but may also prevent bolts from being securely fixed in the mounting holes, affecting the stability and reliability of the sensor. In the long run, this unstable fastening condition will accelerate sensor wear and may even cause the sensor to loosen or fall off during measurement, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example
[0027] In the fields of modern industrial automation and power monitoring, current sensors play a crucial role as an indispensable component. This article will delve into a uniquely designed and fully functional general-purpose current sensor, showcasing its outstanding performance in terms of ease of installation, structural robustness, and operational flexibility through detailed descriptions and case studies.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this universal current sensor comprises a meticulously designed sensor housing 1, a cleverly arranged interface 9, and a precisely aligned through-hole 10. The interface 9 is cleverly positioned at the lower edge of the sensor housing 1, facilitating seamless integration with external devices or systems and ensuring smooth data transmission and power supply. The through-hole 10 is precisely located on the end face of the sensor housing 1, providing a direct and stable channel for current sensing, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of the measurement data.
[0029] In particular, the recessed groove 3 on the upper edge of the sensor housing 1 and its built-in rotating mounting base 4 are innovative designs that solve many inconveniences in the installation process of traditional current sensors. The circular hole on the mounting base 4 not only facilitates the secure installation of the sensor with bolts, but also gives the sensor greater flexibility through the rotation mechanism. When it is necessary to adjust the sensor's direction or angle, the user can easily achieve the ideal state by simply rotating the mounting base, greatly improving work efficiency and installation accuracy.
[0030] To further enhance the stability and flexibility of the sensor, the designers cleverly incorporated a first T-shaped groove 6 into the rotary mounting base 4, which perfectly matches the second T-shaped groove 7 on the sensor mounting base 2. By inserting the I-shaped connector 8, the two are tightly connected, forming a second mounting configuration. This design not only achieves a stable connection between the sensor mounting base 2 and the rotary mounting base 4, but also ensures stable performance output of the sensor under different operating environments through the combination of the groove and the I-shaped connector 8.
[0031] Both the first T-shaped slides 6 and the two second T-shaped slides 7 adopt an arc design, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also demonstrates excellent durability and wear resistance in practical applications. The surface of the I-shaped connector 8 is also thoughtfully equipped with anti-slip rubber strips, effectively preventing loosening or detachment due to vibration or external forces, further enhancing the overall reliability of the sensor.
[0032] In terms of detail, this general-purpose current sensor also demonstrates ingenuity. The sensor mounting base 2 and the sensor housing 1 adopt an integrated design, which is not only compact and aesthetically pleasing, but also achieves a new level of strength and stability. The top view of the mounting base is U-shaped, which is both ergonomic and easy for users to operate; the arc design at its corners effectively avoids accidental injury to personnel or equipment during installation or use.
[0033] Furthermore, the corners of the rotary mounting base 4 also feature an arc design, which not only enhances the overall aesthetics and harmony but also reduces resistance and friction during installation. Multiple mounting holes 5 are equidistantly distributed on the rotary mounting base 4, providing users with diverse installation options and ensuring stability and balance during installation. The mounting holes 5 have the same diameter as the circular holes on the sensor mounting base 2, and both holes have an arc-shaped opening. This facilitates bolt insertion and tightening and reduces installation difficulties caused by size mismatches or irregular shapes.
[0034] Through extensive empirical research and practical application cases, we have found that this general-purpose current sensor has demonstrated outstanding performance and broad application prospects in multiple fields such as industrial automation, power monitoring, and new energy power generation. Its unique rotary mounting base design and sophisticated sliding groove connection mechanism not only improve the sensor's installation efficiency and flexibility but also ensure its stable operation and long lifespan in harsh working environments.
[0035] In conclusion, this general-purpose current sensor has won widespread market recognition and praise for its unique design concept, exquisite manufacturing process, and broad application prospects. We believe it will continue to play an important role in the future of industrial automation and power monitoring, contributing to the development and progress of the industry.
[0036] The installation process is as follows: Confirm that the installation location matches the sensor model. Prepare necessary installation tools, such as bolts, screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. Place the rotary mounting base 4 in the predetermined installation position, ensuring that the mounting holes 5 are aligned with the holes on the base or bracket. Use bolts to secure the rotary mounting base 4 to the base or bracket through the mounting holes 5.
[0037] Insert both ends of the circular connector 8 into the first T-shaped groove 6 on the rotary mounting base 4. Ensure that the I-shaped connector 8 and the T-shaped groove are tightly fitted without any looseness. Place the sensor mounting base 2 above the rotary mounting base 4, aligning the second T-shaped groove 7 with the other end of the I-shaped connector 8. Insert the other end of the circular connector 8 into the second T-shaped groove 7, ensuring a tight connection between the two.
[0038] Adjust the sensor's orientation and angle by rotating the rotary mounting base 4 as needed. Ensure the sensor is oriented correctly and the angle meets measurement requirements. Place the sensor housing 1 on the sensor mounting base 2, ensuring the through hole 10 is aligned with the external current channel. Secure the sensor housing 1 to the sensor mounting base 2 using bolts. Connect the sensor interface 9 to the interface 9 of the external device or system. Ensure smooth data transmission and power supply.
[0039] Check that all mounting components are securely fastened and not loose. Perform a power-on test on the sensor to ensure it functions properly and accurately measures current.
