[0026] See Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, an easy-to-assemble open-type current transformer is provided. The open-type current transformer specifically includes a first left housing 11, a first right housing 12, a second left housing 21, and a second right housing 22. The first left housing 11 and the first right housing 12 are sealed together to form an upper housing module 1, and the second left housing 21 and the second right housing 22 are sealed together to form a lower housing module 2. One end of the upper housing module 1 is rotatably connected to one end of the lower housing module 2, and the other end of the upper housing module 1 is snapped and fixed to the other end of the lower housing module 2 to achieve relative assembly. U-shaped grooves for fitting the sidewalls of conductors are respectively opened on the assembly surfaces of the upper housing module 1 and the lower housing module 2. An upper U-shaped iron core 3 is installed in the upper housing module 1, and a lower U-shaped iron core 4 is installed in the lower housing module 2. When the upper housing module 1 and the lower housing module 2 are assembled relative to each other, the upper U-shaped iron core 3 and the lower U-shaped iron core 4 are configured to be sealed by ultrasonic welding to form a closed loop.
[0027] In assembling the openable current transformer of this utility model, the internal components such as the upper U-shaped iron core 3 and the lower U-shaped iron core 4 are first installed. Then, the first left housing 11 and the first right housing 12 are sealed together to form the upper housing module 1, and the second left housing 21 and the second right housing 22 are sealed together to form the lower housing module 2. The internal components such as the upper U-shaped iron core 3 and the lower U-shaped iron core 4 are then installed into the upper housing module 1 and the lower housing module 2 respectively. Next, one end of the upper housing module 1 is rotatably connected to one end of the lower housing module 2. Then, the lead wire is placed into the U-shaped groove between the mating surfaces of the upper housing module 1 and the lower housing module 2. The other end of the upper housing module 1 is connected to the lower housing module 2. The other end is snapped in place to achieve relative assembly of the upper and lower parts. The upper U-shaped iron core 3 and the lower U-shaped iron core 4 are finally sealed by ultrasonic welding to form a closed loop, thus realizing the assembly process of the open-type current transformer. Since the upper shell module 1 is formed by sealing and assembling the first left shell 11 and the first right shell 12 from left to right, and the lower shell module 2 is formed by sealing and assembling the second left shell 21 and the second right shell 22 from left to right, the internal components such as the upper U-shaped iron core 3 and the lower U-shaped iron core 4 can be quickly and conveniently installed into the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2. The assembly process is simpler and faster, and the structure is simpler, with better sealing and insulation, which improves assembly efficiency and safety.
[0028] In this embodiment, the first left shell 11 and the first right shell 12, and the second left shell 21 and the second right shell 22 are all symmetrical structures, which makes the assembly more stable. The first left shell 11 and the first right shell 12 are configured to achieve left-right sealing by ultrasonic welding, and the second left shell 21 and the second right shell 22 are configured to achieve left-right sealing by ultrasonic welding. This allows the components inside the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 to be isolated from the outside world, and further improves the sealing and insulation of the assembly, resulting in higher safety.
[0029] In this embodiment, the bottom surfaces of the first left shell 11 and the first right shell 12 are joined together to form the joining surface of the upper shell module 1, and the top surfaces of the second left shell 21 and the second right shell 22 are joined together to form the joining surface of the lower shell module 2. The two ends of the upper U-shaped iron core 3 extend downward through the splicing surface of the upper shell module 1 to form the upper iron core welding part 31, which is located on opposite sides of the U-shaped groove of the upper shell module 1. The two ends of the lower U-shaped iron core 4 extend upward through the splicing surface of the lower shell module 2 to form the lower iron core welding part 41, which is located on opposite sides of the U-shaped groove of the lower shell module 2. When the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are spliced together, the upper iron core welding part 31 and the lower iron core welding part 41 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence by ultrasonic welding to achieve a sealed connection. By directly using the U-shaped iron core as the welding part for ultrasonic welding, the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 can not only ensure the performance of the openable current transformer of this utility model when they are spliced together, but also save welding materials and reduce production costs.
[0030] In this embodiment, a surrounding wall 5 is formed on the splicing surface of the upper shell module 1, corresponding to the outer periphery of the upper iron core welding part 31. A first receiving groove 6 is formed inside the surrounding wall 5, and the opening of the first receiving groove 6 is higher than the extended end of the upper iron core welding part 31. A second receiving groove 7 is formed on the splicing surface of the lower shell module 2, corresponding to the outer periphery of the lower iron core welding part 41. When the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are spliced together, the two lower iron core welding parts 41 will be respectively accommodated in the two first receiving grooves 6 to contact the upper iron core welding part 31. In this way, the upper iron core welding part 31 and the lower iron core welding part 41 are in contact. During ultrasonic welding, the molten solder first accumulates in the first receiving tank 6. When the amount of solder exceeds the volume of the first receiving tank 6, it overflows into the second receiving tank 7. This results in the solder accumulating mainly near the welding positions of the upper iron core welding part 31 and the lower iron core welding part 41, allowing the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 to be more tightly joined and fixed together. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that in other embodiments, the positions of the first receiving tank 6 and the second receiving tank 7 can be interchanged, and are not limited to the specific implementation method disclosed in this embodiment.
[0031] In this embodiment, when the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are assembled relative to each other, and the bottom surface of the upper iron core welding part 31 is in contact with the top surface of the lower iron core welding part 41, there is a gap between the assembly surface of the upper shell module 1 and the assembly surface of the lower shell module 2, so as to prevent the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 from being damaged by ultrasonic welding when welding the upper iron core welding part 31 and the lower iron core welding part 41. It is understood that in this embodiment, when the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are assembled, there is a gap between the mating surfaces of the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2. Then, ultrasonic welding is used to melt the bottom surface of the upper iron core welding part 31 and the top surface of the lower iron core welding part 41 to achieve a tight connection. During the melting process, the gap between the mating surfaces of the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 continuously decreases. When the mating surfaces of the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are just touching, the ultrasonic welding is stopped. In this way, the openable current transformer of this utility model not only achieves good sealing and insulation effects, but also prevents damage to the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 during welding.
[0032] In this embodiment, the volume of the second receiving groove 7 is greater than that of the first receiving groove 6. Specifically, the cross-sectional dimensions and depth of the second receiving groove 7 are greater than those of the first receiving groove 6, respectively. This allows the molten solder between the bottom surface of the upper iron core welding part 31 and the top surface of the lower iron core welding part 41 to first accumulate in the smaller first receiving groove 6 and then overflow outward into the larger second receiving groove 7. This ensures that the solder can be more concentrated at the welding position of the upper iron core welding part 31 and the lower iron core welding part 41, thus ensuring the welding sealing and stability.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lower shell module 2 has a protrusion 8 on its side and the upper shell module 1 has a buckle 9 on its side that corresponds to the protrusion 8 of the lower shell module 2. The lower shell module 2 and the upper shell module 1 are fixed by the corresponding engagement of the protrusion 8 and the buckle 9.
[0034] In this embodiment, the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are an integral structure. However, those skilled in the art should understand that in other embodiments, the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 may also be other structures, and are not limited to the specific implementation methods disclosed in this embodiment.
[0035] The installation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] When it is necessary to measure the current of the conductor, the conductor must first be clamped into the U-shaped groove of the lower shell module 2. Then, the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are rotated relative to each other to achieve the upper and lower assembly. The buckle 9 on the upper shell module 1 is clamped into the protrusion 8 on the lower shell module 2. Finally, the first iron core welding part and the second iron core are tightly welded together by ultrasonic welding. When the splicing surfaces of the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2 are just touching, the ultrasonic welding is stopped immediately, which achieves a tight connection between the upper shell module 1 and the lower shell module 2, thereby making the open-type current transformer have better sealing and insulation.
[0037] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any changes in form and detail made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
