Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of current transformer technology, specifically a single-turn current transformer. Background Technology

[0002] A single-turn current transformer is a current transformer that can measure current by passing only one wire through the primary side. Its structure is relatively simple, containing only one coil (i.e., a single turn), and it converts high current into low current through the principle of electromagnetic induction to facilitate measurement, protection, and control.

[0003] When the primary conductor passes through the current transformer, the current in the conductor generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces an electromotive force on the secondary side of the current transformer, thereby enabling current measurement. However, in existing single-turn current transformers, the primary conductive material is mostly made by welding multiple 1 mm thick soft copper strips together, which is a complex process and prone to single-strip cold solder joints. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a single-turn current transformer, which solves the problem that most existing single-turn current transformers use multiple 1 mm thick soft copper strips welded together, resulting in complex processing and the tendency for single strips to have poor solder joints.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a single-turn current transformer, comprising a current transformer body, wherein a cell structure is disposed inside the current transformer body, and a winding is disposed on the surface of the cell structure;

[0006] The battery cell structure includes an iron core, an insulating layer, and an integrally bent copper busbar adapted to the iron core. The insulating layer wraps around and covers the surface of the iron core, and the integrally bent copper busbar is disposed on the outer surface of the insulating layer.

[0007] Furthermore, all four corners of the integrated bent copper busbar are rounded.

[0008] Furthermore, a connector is fixedly connected to the bottom of the current transformer body, and the bottom of the connector has several mounting holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the top and bottom of the front side of the current transformer body are fixedly connected to fixing blocks, and bolts are provided on the fixing blocks, with insulating pressure blocks fixedly connected to the inner ends of the bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, a torsion block is fixedly connected to the outer end of the bolt, and the surface of the torsion block is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are that by using an integrated bent copper busbar instead of multiple soft copper strips welded together, the production process can be significantly simplified, eliminating the need for complex merging and welding processes, reducing the production difficulty and time of current transformers. The integrated bent copper busbar's overall structure ensures good conductivity continuity, and the overall structure reduces welding materials and labor costs, thereby reducing the production cost of current transformers. It also has better conductivity performance because its overall structure reduces resistance and inductance, improving current transmission efficiency and ensuring that the transformer can accurately measure current values ​​during operation, improving measurement accuracy. Furthermore, the integrated bent copper busbar's structure is more robust and durable, able to withstand greater current surges and mechanical stress, extending the service life of the transformer.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a single-turn current transformer, including a current transformer body 1, a cell structure 2 is provided inside the current transformer body 1, and a winding is provided on the surface of the cell structure 2.

[0018] The cell structure 2 includes an iron core 3, an insulating layer 4, and an integrally bent copper busbar 5 adapted to the iron core 3.

[0019] The insulation layer 4 is wrapped around the surface of the iron core 3, and the integrated bent copper busbar 5 is set on the outer surface of the insulation layer 4. All four corners of the integrated bent copper busbar 5 are rounded.

[0020] Using an integrated bent copper busbar 5 instead of multiple soft copper strips welded together can significantly simplify the production process, eliminating the need for complex merging and welding processes, reducing the production difficulty and time of current transformers, and ensuring good conductivity continuity due to its overall structure.

[0021] The overall structure reduces welding materials and labor costs, thereby lowering the production cost of current transformers. It also has better conductivity because its overall structure reduces resistance and inductance, improves current transmission efficiency, and ensures that the transformer can accurately measure current values ​​during operation, thus improving measurement accuracy.

[0022] The integrated bent copper busbar 5 has a more robust and durable structure, capable of withstanding greater current surges and mechanical stress, thus extending the service life of the transformer.

[0026] After the product passes through the interior of the current transformer body 1, the toggle block 11 can be twisted, and the insulating pressure block 10 will come into contact with the product through the bolt 9, thus fixing the product.

[0027] During operation, using an integrated bent copper busbar 5 instead of multiple soft copper strips welded together can significantly simplify the production process. It eliminates the need for complex merging and welding, reducing the production difficulty and time required for current transformers. The integrated bent copper busbar 5's overall structure ensures good conductivity continuity, and the overall structure reduces welding materials and labor costs, thereby lowering the production cost of current transformers. It also has better conductivity performance because its overall structure reduces resistance and inductance, improving current transmission efficiency and ensuring accurate current measurement during operation, thus improving measurement accuracy.
