Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of resistance testers, and in particular to an improved insulation resistance tester. Background Technology
[0002] An insulation resistance tester, also known as a digital insulation resistance tester, megohmmeter, or intelligent insulation resistance tester, is an instrument used to measure the insulation resistance of electrical equipment. It is suitable for insulation testing during the maintenance, repair, testing, and calibration of various electrical equipment. The working principle of an insulation resistance tester is based on Ohm's law; it calculates the resistance value by applying a high voltage and measuring the resulting current. The tester first applies a DC voltage excitation to the device under test, typically ranging from 50V to 5kV, much higher than the voltage used by the ohmmeter function of a typical digital multimeter. After applying the voltage, the tester measures the current flowing through the insulation layer of the device under test. These currents are often very weak and require highly sensitive measurement circuitry to capture. Finally, the tester calculates the insulation resistance according to Ohm's law. A higher insulation resistance value indicates better insulation performance.
[0003] Currently, insulation resistance testers face a significant problem in practical applications. Typically, the wiring and the testing instrument are stored separately. While this design facilitates organization and storage to some extent, it can cause inconvenience when users travel to the site for measurements. Specifically, users may forget to bring either the wiring or any component of the testing instrument, directly preventing resistance measurements and impacting work efficiency and progress.
[0004] To address this issue, some users choose to bundle the wiring to the testing instrument. However, while this solves the problem of forgetting, it introduces another problem. Messy wiring and loosely attached connectors not only affect the aesthetics and neatness of the testing instrument, but more importantly, during transport and carrying, these messy wires and connectors may be damaged by impacts or friction, thus affecting the accuracy and lifespan of the testing instrument. Furthermore, messy wiring may increase the risk of accidental contact during operation, reducing work safety. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, an improved insulation resistance tester is ingeniously designed, making it easy to carry and use. The tester mainly consists of a rear housing 1, a front housing 2, a button interface 3, and a display area 4. The front housing 2 is designed to be located at the front end of the rear housing 1, while the display area 4 and the button interface 3 are carefully arranged at the front end of the front housing 2, allowing the user to intuitively view the test results and perform operations.
[0025] To further enhance portability, the upper sides of the rear housing 1 are specially designed with first lateral handles 5, while the upper sides of the front housing 2 are also provided with second lateral handles 6. These two handles not only make it easy for users to grip, but their interiors also together form a practical storage cavity 9 for storing wires, allowing the entire tester to remain neat and organized when not in use.
[0026] Inside the second lateral handle 6, an isolation block 7 is cleverly designed, with interface sockets 8 on its end face. These interface sockets 8 are used to insert and connect the first wire 10 and the second wire 11, respectively, and the wire connectors are secured in the interface sockets 8 to ensure a stable connection. The first wire 10 and the second wire 11 not only serve as the power cords for the tester but are also designed as handles, allowing users to easily carry the tester.
[0027] To ensure user comfort and grip stability, the cross-sections of the first lateral handle 5 and the second lateral handle 6 are designed to have the same shape. In addition, the lower ends of these two handles are provided with recessed grooves, and the corners of the handles are designed with arcs. This design allows the handles to fit better with the hand, making it easier for the user to pick up and operate the testing instrument.
[0028] The isolation block 7 and the second lateral handle 6 are integrated into one unit, ensuring structural stability. The interface socket 8 is located in the center of the end face of the isolation block 7 and features a waist-shaped design, which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. A buffer strip is attached to the inner hole of the interface socket 8 with adhesive, effectively protecting the interface socket 8 and extending the lifespan of the tester.
[0029] The first side handle 5 is connected to the rear housing 1 by heat fusion, ensuring structural stability. The first side handle 5 is made of PU material, which is not only lightweight but also durable. Similarly, the second side handle 6 is also connected to the front housing 2 by heat fusion, and the second side handle 6 is also made of PU material, ensuring overall durability and comfort.
[0030] To ensure the uniformity and convenience of the tester's wiring connections, the first wire 10 and the second wire 11 are designed to have the same specifications. Furthermore, to further enhance portability, the first wire 10 and the second wire 11 are knotted together to form a handle, allowing users to easily carry the tester.
[0031] Finally, to ensure ease of user operation, the connectors of the first wire 10 and the second wire 11 are designed to be compatible with the button interface 3, so that users can quickly connect and disconnect when performing resistance tests, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the test.
[0032] Assembly Process: Assemble the rear housing 1 and front housing 2 together, ensuring their connection points are aligned and secured. Place the button interface 3 and display area 4 on the front end of the front housing 2, ensuring their correct positioning and secure fixation. Install the first side handle 5 on the upper sides of the rear housing 1, ensuring it is heat-fused to the rear housing 1 and checking its stability. Install the second side handle 6 on the upper sides of the front housing 2, ensuring it is heat-fused to the front housing 2 and checking its stability. Integrate the isolation block 7 with the second side handle 6, ensuring the interface socket 8 is located in the center of the end face of the isolation block 7, using a waist-hole design. Attach a buffer strip to the inner hole of the interface socket 8 with adhesive to protect it. Design the connectors of the first wire 10 and the second wire 11 to be compatible with the button interface 3, ensuring the wire specifications are consistent. Form a handle by knotting the first wire 10 and the second wire 11, ensuring the user can easily carry the tester.
[0033] Usage: When carrying the tester, lift the device using the handles of the first lead 10 and the second lead 11. Place the tester on a flat surface, ensuring its stability. Insert the connectors of the first lead 10 and the second lead 11 into the button interface 3, ensuring a secure connection. Turn on the tester and perform a resistance test through the button interface 3. Observe the display area 4 to view the test results. After the test is completed, disconnect the connectors of the first lead 10 and the second lead 11.
[0034] Wire storage process: When the tester is not in use, disconnect the connectors of the first wire 10 and the second wire 11 from the button interface 3. Pass the first wire 10 and the second wire 11 through the interior of the second side handle 6, ensuring they are neatly stored within the storage cavity 9. Ensure the wires do not become tangled or knotted within the storage cavity 9, keeping them tidy. If the wires are long, they can be wrapped around the insulating block 7 for further tidying. Turn off the tester, ensuring the wires will not accidentally fall off or be damaged during transport.
