[0040] This utility model proposes a safety testing instrument.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the safety test instrument includes a main housing 100, a test interface group, a leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit, and a leakage current test circuit.

[0042] The leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit and the leakage current test circuit are disposed inside the main body housing 100; the test interface group is disposed on the main body housing 100, and the test interface group includes at least a first interface pair 300 for connecting the device under test and a second interface pair 301 for connecting an external current monitoring device;

[0043] The leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit includes: a first isolation transformer 504, a voltage adjustment knob 502, a resistance adjustment knob 501, a first control switch 401, and a second control switch 402.

[0044] The input terminal of the first isolation transformer 504 is connected to a single-phase AC power supply, and the output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the second control switch 402; the second control switch 402 has a common terminal, a first selection terminal, and a second selection terminal.

[0045] The output terminal of the first isolation transformer 504 is connected to the common terminal of the second control switch 402; the first selection terminal is connected to the input terminal of the voltage adjustment knob 502; the second selection terminal is connected to the input terminal of the first control switch 401; the first control switch 401 is configured to selectively switch its input terminal to the input terminal of the resistance adjustment knob 501 or the first interface pair 300.

[0046] It is understood that the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit of this application includes at least a leakage voltage test circuit and a grounding resistance test circuit;

[0047] In this application, the second control switch 402 is a dual-position switch with a leakage voltage position and a grounding resistance position. When the second control switch 402 is set to the leakage voltage position, the adjustment terminal of the voltage adjustment knob 502 is connected to the leakage voltage output circuit of the second control switch 402, and the output terminal of the voltage adjustment knob 502 is connected to the voltage display meter 802. When the second control switch 402 is set to the grounding resistance position, the adjustment terminal of the resistance adjustment knob 501 is connected to the grounding resistance output circuit of the second control switch 402, and can be selectively connected to the resistance adjustment knob 501 or the first interface pair 300 by switching the first control switch 401.

[0048] The leakage current testing circuit includes: a power selection switch 601, a second isolation transformer 505, a range selection switch 700, and a current adjustment knob 503; the input terminal of the power selection switch 601 is used to selectively connect to one phase of a single-phase AC power supply or a three-phase AC power supply, and the output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the second isolation transformer 505; the output terminal of the second isolation transformer 505, the range selection switch 700, and the current adjustment knob 503 are connected in series, and the output terminal of the current adjustment knob 503 is connected to the current display meter 801;

[0049] The voltage adjustment knob 502, resistance adjustment knob 501, current adjustment knob 503, first control switch 401, second control switch 402, voltage display meter 802, current display meter 801, resistance display meter 803, and range selection switch 700 are all located on the main housing 100.

[0050] It is understood that the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit and the leakage current test circuit are integrated functional circuits on the printed circuit board (PCB) and housed inside the main body housing 100. They are used to perform three safety test functions: grounding resistance, leakage voltage and leakage current, and receive control signals from the operation panel and output drive signals to each display meter.

[0051] It is understood that the power supply of this application is provided through a power input interface 200 provided on the main housing 100; optionally, the power input interface 200 is provided on the side or rear of the main housing 100, and may be an AC power socket, which is directly electrically connected to the power input terminal of the test circuit to provide working power for the entire instrument.

[0052] In this application, the first isolation transformer 504 is used for safe isolation and voltage adaptation of the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit. The first isolation transformer 504 electromagnetically isolates the higher power supply voltage on the primary side and transforms it into a lower safe voltage on the secondary side to prevent high voltage from entering the subsequent test circuit and output terminal, thus ensuring operational safety.

[0053] In this embodiment, the test interface group is centrally arranged on the front panel or side panel of the main housing 100 and electrically connected to the internal test circuit. The test interface group specifically includes: the first interface pair 300 is configured with two terminals, and in some preferred embodiments, 4mm terminals are used for connecting the external vehicle ground and the test ground; in use, it is connected to the vehicle ground of the equipment under test and the grounding point to be tested through wires respectively.

[0054] Similarly, the second interface pair 301 is located on one side of the first interface pair 300. The second interface pair 301 is electrically connected to the leakage current test circuit of the test circuit, and is used to connect an external high-precision ammeter for calibration or high-precision monitoring. If no external instrument is connected, it must be shorted with a shorting piece to ensure the continuity of the internal circuit.

[0055] In this embodiment, the voltage display meter 802, current display meter 801, and resistance display meter 803 are all embedded in the operation panel. They are pointer-type or digital instruments used to display various parameters during the testing process in real time, and their signal input terminals are electrically connected to the output terminals of the test circuit. The signal input terminal of the resistance display meter 803 is connected to the signal output or measurement terminal of the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit; the signal input terminal of the voltage display meter 802 is connected to the signal output terminal of the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit; and the signal input terminal of the current display meter 801 is connected to the signal output terminal of the leakage current test circuit. The three meters are used to display the corresponding test parameters in real time, independently, and synchronously. When performing any one or a combination of tests, the user can directly read the precise set value or measured value from the corresponding meter. For example, when adjusting the leakage current, the current display meter 801 displays the changing current value in real time.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first control switch 401 has a resistance measurement range, a resistance display range, and a disconnect range. The first control switch 401 is electrically connected to the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit. The second control switch 402 has a leakage voltage range and a grounding resistance range, and is used to switch the first interface pair 300 to the leakage voltage test circuit or the grounding resistance test circuit.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first control switch 401 is a three-position toggle switch, and the corresponding positions are marked on the main housing 100 as resistance measurement and resistance display; the common terminal or output terminal of the first control switch 401 is electrically connected to the control and signal path of the grounding resistance test circuit; the user toggles this switch to select the working state related to the grounding resistance test, and the working states of each position include:

[0058] Resistance measurement mode: The instrument acts as a signal source and outputs an adjustable analog grounding resistance value, set by the resistance adjustment knob 501, to the outside via the first interface 300.

[0059] Resistance display mode: As a measuring instrument, the instrument measures and displays the actual grounding resistance value in the external measured circuit through the first interface.

[0060] Disconnect setting: This setting ensures a safe physical disconnect between the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit and the test interface.

[0061] The second control switch 402 is a two-position toggle switch. The corresponding positions on the main housing 100 are marked with leakage voltage and grounding resistance. When the user toggles the second control switch 402 to select a test item, this essentially switches the electrical connection path between the first interface and 300. The operating states of each position include:

[0062] Leakage voltage setting: The first interface is directly connected to the leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit, and the instrument performs leakage voltage test.

[0063] Grounding resistance setting: Connect the first interface pair 300 to the output terminal of the first control switch 401; at this time, the resistance measurement or resistance display function of the first interface pair 300 is determined by the current setting of the first control switch 401.

[0064] Understandably, the second control switch 402 is used to make a primary selection between the two major items of voltage testing and resistance-related testing; when resistance-related testing is selected, the first control switch 401 is responsible for making a secondary selection between the two operating modes of output resistance and measurement resistance.

[0065] The leakage voltage and grounding resistance test circuit includes a first isolation transformer 504 for achieving electrical safety isolation between the input and output. The first isolation transformer 504 safely transforms the higher power supply voltage on the primary side to a lower voltage on the secondary side, suitable as a source for simulating leakage voltage; and through magnetic coupling, it transfers energy, achieving electrical isolation between the primary circuit and the secondary output circuit. This ensures that even if an abnormally high voltage occurs on the primary side, it will not be directly conducted to the output terminal of the device under test, thus protecting the safety of the operator.

[0066] The leakage current test circuit includes a second isolation transformer 505, which is used to achieve electrical safety isolation between the test power supply and the current generation circuit. The second isolation transformer 505 safely transforms the primary side single-phase or three-phase power supply voltage selected by the power selection switch 601 into a uniform low voltage suitable for Ohm's law constant current source on the secondary side; and transfers energy through magnetic coupling, realizing electrical isolation between the external test power supply network and the internal adjustable current circuit. This ensures that even if there is an abnormality or interference on the external test power supply side, it will not be directly conducted to the internal circuitry and final output of the instrument, thereby ensuring the safety of the leakage current test process. Together with the first isolation transformer 504, it forms a double safety isolation within the instrument.

[0067] It is understood that the single-phase power interface 603 is a standard two- or three-pin AC power socket used to connect a single-phase AC220V test power supply. The three-phase power interface 602 is a four-pin aviation plug used to connect a three-phase AC380V test power supply, with its pins corresponding to phase A, phase B, phase C, and the neutral line (N). In this application, the conductive terminals of both the single-phase power interface 603 and the three-phase power interface 602 are led into and connected to the input terminal of the power selection switch 601.

[0068] The power selection switch 601 is a multi-position mechanical rotary switch or toggle switch. For example, the power selection switch 601 is a mechanical rotary switch, and its multiple input terminals are respectively connected to the live wire (L) terminal of the single-phase interface and the A, B, and C phase terminals of the three-phase interface; the common output terminal of the power selection switch 601 is directly connected to the power input terminal of the leakage current test circuit.

[0069] The user-operated power selection switch 601 allows users to select one of multiple connected power sources as the excitation power for leakage current testing. The switch offers four positions: Off, Single Phase, A Phase, B Phase, and C Phase. Selecting the Single Phase position connects the power from the single-phase interface; selecting A Phase, B Phase, or C Phase connects the power from the corresponding phase of the three-phase interface. This allows a single instrument to flexibly adapt to different power environments in the field and test the leakage current protection performance of each phase.

[0070] See Figure 5In this application, the power input terminal of the leakage voltage grounding resistance detection circuit is equipped with an input protection circuit; the input protection circuit includes at least a fuse and an electromagnetic interference filter; its input terminal is connected to the single-phase AC power supply of the instrument, and its output terminal is connected to the first isolation transformer. The fuse inside the input protection circuit can quickly blow and cut off the power supply when a short circuit or severe overload occurs in the circuit, preventing the fault from spreading; the EMI filter can suppress instantaneous high voltage spikes and electromagnetic interference from the power grid, and also helps to reduce the reverse interference of the instrument's internal circuit to the power grid, improving the stability and safety of the entire test system.

[0071] See Figure 5 The principle of the leakage voltage and grounding resistance detection function of the test circuit in this application is as follows: When the power supply is connected, the single-phase AC input power is converted from the primary AC220V to the secondary AC60V through the input socket with built-in switch and fuse, and then through the first isolation transformer 504. This provides a safer AC voltage for the subsequent stages. When the grounding resistance / leakage voltage measurement selection switch is operated, the leakage voltage measurement value of the device under test from AC0V to 60V can be provided through the leakage voltage adjustment knob 502. The leakage voltage display meter 802 can display the leakage voltage value in real time. When the grounding resistance measurement is selected, the grounding resistance display / measurement selection switch needs to be used. If the grounding resistance display is to be viewed, the grounding resistance display / measurement is to be switched to the resistance display position, and the current resistance value can be displayed on the grounding resistance display meter 803. If the grounding resistance is to be tested, the grounding resistance display / measurement is to be switched to the resistance measurement position, and the grounding resistance adjustment knob 501 can provide the grounding resistance measurement value of the device under test from 0 to 100kΩ.

[0072] See Figure 6 The leakage current detection principle of the test circuit in this application is as follows: an external excitation power supply for leakage current testing is provided, which can be selected from either single-phase AC220V or three-phase AC380V. The user selects the input source through the power selection switch 601 on the operation panel. The selected power supply is then connected to an isolation transformer, which converts the higher primary input voltage AC220V to AC60V to achieve electrical safety isolation, ensuring complete isolation between the subsequent circuit and the output terminal from dangerous high voltage. The output current range is coarsely selected through the range selection switch 700 to determine the approximate range of current adjustment. Based on a resistor R circuit selected by the range selection switch 700, the user can change the effective resistance value R in that circuit by rotating the current adjustment knob 503 on the operation panel.

[0073] It should be noted that the range selection switch 700 includes four ranges: <15mA, Off, 10mA~60mA, and 40mA~500mA. Among them, <15mA, 0mA~60mA, and 40mA~500mA correspond to different internal resistor R circuits.

[0074] According to Ohm's law, the final output leakage current value I is determined by the formula I=U / R. Since the voltage U is a fixed AC60V, by adjusting the resistor R, any desired simulated leakage current value from 5mA to 500mA can be stably generated within the selected range. The generated current is output to 301 via the second interface. When no external monitoring instrument is required, this pair of terminals must be shorted with a shorting cap to form a complete current path.

[0075] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the main housing 100 includes a front panel and a rear panel. The test interface group, voltage adjustment knob 502, resistance adjustment knob 501, current adjustment knob 503, first control switch 401, second control switch 402, and range selection switch 700 are disposed on the front panel. The power selection switch 601, single-phase power input port, and three-phase power input port are all disposed on the rear panel, and the power input interface 200 is also disposed on the rear panel.

[0076] In this embodiment, the front and rear panels are used to achieve functional zoning and separation of high and low voltage circuits, thereby optimizing the operation process and improving safety. All components requiring frequent user operation and observation, including test interfaces, adjustment knobs, function switches, and displays, are centrally located on the front panel. This allows a series of testing actions, such as wiring, setting, and reading, to be efficiently completed within a user-facing area, greatly improving ergonomics and convenience. Simultaneously, all power interfaces, such as power input, test power connection, and power selection switch 601, are centrally located on the rear panel. This isolates high-voltage, interference-prone power connections from the low-voltage operating area, effectively preventing accidental power contact, simplifying the complexity of the front panel layout, and making overall cable management more organized.

[0077] In one implementation, the second interface 301 is configured to either connect an external ammeter or be in a short-circuited state.

[0078] External ammeter status: When the test task requires higher accuracy in current measurement, the user can connect the test leads of a higher-precision external current monitoring instrument to the two terminals of the second interface 301; at this time, all the current signals generated by the leakage current test circuit will flow through this external instrument, thereby achieving more accurate measurement and recording of the output current.

[0079] Short-circuit state: When no external instrument is needed and only the built-in current display meter 801 is used for monitoring, this second interface 301 must be in the short-circuit state. It is understood that the test instrument in this solution is typically connected between the two sockets of this pair of terminals using a dedicated metal short-circuit cap provided with the instrument, to provide a low-impedance DC path for the leakage current test circuit. If not short-circuited, the current loop is in an open-circuit state, the circuit will not be able to output the set current, and the instrument function will be disabled.

[0080] In one embodiment, a cooling fan is also provided inside the main housing 100, and the airflow path of the cooling fan passes through the area where the leakage current test circuit is located.

[0081] In this embodiment, a DC cooling fan is fixedly mounted on the internal frame or circuit board bracket of the main housing 100. Optionally, the cooling fan is a small axial fan, and the main direction of the axial airflow generated by the cooling fan can cover the area where the leakage current test circuit is located.

[0082] Because the leakage current test circuit generates significant Joule heat in its internal power resistor when simulating large leakage currents, causing a rapid rise in local temperature, the cooling fan is configured as an active forced air cooling device. When operating, a continuous airflow directly blows onto or flows over the surface of the heat-generating element, quickly removing the heat generated by the element through convection heat transfer. Its core function is to establish active heat dissipation conditions for the target heat-generating area, effectively reducing the junction temperature of the power element and the surrounding ambient temperature. This ensures that the resistance value of the power resistor remains stable even during prolonged full-load testing or in high-temperature environments.

[0083] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, an air inlet 102 is provided on the rear panel, and the position of the air inlet 102 corresponds to the air intake side of the cooling fan; an air outlet 103 is provided on the left and / or right sides of the main body shell 100, and the air outlet 103 corresponds to the air duct of the cooling fan.

[0084] In this application, on the rear panel, in the area behind the air intake side of the cooling fan, an array of air intake holes 102 are provided. Optionally, the air intake holes 102 are multiple densely distributed circular holes or small louver-type openings, and their positions correspond to the air intake of the fan in the vertical projection.

[0085] An air outlet 103 is provided on the left and / or right side walls of the main housing 100, corresponding to the downstream of the airflow path of the cooling fan or the end of the air duct. Optionally, the air outlet 103 is a horizontal or oblique grid-like or elongated opening.

[0086] The air inlet 102 and air outlet 103 are respectively located on the rear panel and side panel to achieve directional and short airflow path, avoid airflow turbulence inside the shell or hot air recirculation, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0087] In one embodiment, the resistance adjustment knob 501 is used to adjust the grounding resistance value in the range of 0-100kΩ, the voltage adjustment knob 502 is used to adjust the leakage voltage value in the range of 0-60V, and the current adjustment knob 503 is used to adjust the leakage current value in the range of 5mA-500mA. The adjustment range of the current adjustment knob 503 is set by the range selection switch 700.

[0088] The resistance adjustment knob 501 is used to adjust the simulated value of the grounding resistance. The effective adjustment range is set to 0-100kΩ. The 0-100kΩ range design covers the full-state test requirements from excellent grounding to severe insulation degradation or near-open circuit, and can verify the response threshold of the grounding resistance alarm device under different fault levels.

[0089] The voltage adjustment knob 502 is configured to adjust the simulated leakage voltage value, with an effective adjustment range set to 0-60V. The upper limit of the 0-60V range is set according to the general upper limit of safety extra-low voltage (SELV) and related safety standards to ensure that the early warning and protection functions of the insulation monitoring equipment can be effectively tested before dangerous voltages occur.

[0090] The current adjustment knob 503 is configured to adjust the simulated leakage current value, with a total adjustment range of 5mA-500mA. This comprehensively covers multiple levels of safety standards and test scenarios, from human perception current thresholds and dangerous ventricular fibrillation thresholds to equipment circuit protection operating currents.

[0091] In one embodiment, a marking part is also provided on the main body shell 100 at the lower end of the parameter regulator, the marking part being used to indicate the adjustment direction of the parameter regulator.

[0092] In this embodiment, clear markings are printed or engraved on the lower ends of the resistance adjustment knob 501, voltage adjustment knob 502, and current adjustment knob 503 on the main housing 100. These markings visually indicate the adjustment direction and numerical trend of the knob to the operator. Each marking includes a clear arrow symbol or a graduated arc-shaped area. For example, the marking is a straight line with arrows at both ends, with the left arrow indicating a small value and the right arrow indicating a large value. This enhances the intuitiveness and accuracy of operation, helping users to quickly and accurately set parameters.

[0093] See Figure 1In one embodiment, the range selection switch 700 is a mechanical switch with multiple fixed positions, including at least a first position, a second position, and a third position, which correspond to leakage current adjustment ranges of less than 15mA, 10mA-60mA, and 40mA-500mA, respectively.

[0094] In this application, the first setting corresponds to a current adjustment range of <15mA; the second setting corresponds to a current adjustment range of 10mA to 60mA; and the third setting corresponds to a current adjustment range of 40mA to 500mA. Each setting has a corresponding range marking on the housing.

[0095] In this application, the range selection switch 700 is connected in series between the output terminal of the current adjustment knob 503 and the leakage current test circuit. By rotating this switch to select different ranges, the user essentially switches the feedback resistor network inside the leakage current test circuit, thereby changing the amplification factor or reference of the entire current generation circuit. The rotation angle of the same current adjustment knob 503 can be adjusted within the three different and more precise current output ranges mentioned above, which is used to set an appropriate range for leakage current testing, ensuring both adjustment accuracy at low currents and output capability at high currents.

[0096] In one implementation, see Figures 1 to 3 The top of the main body shell 100 is provided with a handle 101.

[0097] Furthermore, two fixing seats are arranged opposite each other on the top of the main body shell 100, and the two ends of the handle 101 are respectively fixed in the fixing seats. The middle part of the handle 101 is arc-shaped with an opening facing the main body shell.

[0098] In this application, the two ends of the handle 101 are symmetrically connected to the corresponding mounting structures on both sides of the top of the main housing 100 via pivots or fixed supports, allowing it to bear weight when lifted and lie flat against the housing surface to save space when lowered. Optionally, the handle 101 is made of metal, and the surface may have anti-slip textures or be covered with insulating material. The handle 101 provides a convenient carrying point for the user. Considering that the instrument contains test circuits, cooling fans, and multiple meters, the whole machine has a certain weight, for example, 10kg. The handle 101 allows the operator to easily and steadily lift and move the entire instrument with one hand, greatly facilitating transfer and on-site testing operations in the field, workshop, or between different equipment.

[0099] Furthermore, a nameplate is also provided on one side of the outer casing of the handle 101; the nameplate is made of corrosion-resistant metal sheet or engineering plastic and is fixed by riveting, pasting or laser engraving. The nameplate clearly and permanently records the key identification information of the product, including at least: product name, product model, serial number, date of manufacture and manufacturer.

[0100] In some preferred embodiments, the main housing 100 is configured with a width of 252mm ± 2mm, a height of 198mm ± 2mm, and a depth of 237mm ± 2mm, and is made of cold-rolled steel sheet. This compact size design ensures the feasibility of integrating the three major test circuits—grounding resistance, leakage voltage, and leakage current—into a single chassis. Simultaneously, the ±2mm tolerance provides reasonable process tolerances for sheet metal processing, welding, and assembly in mass production, ensuring product consistency and reliability. Furthermore, the use of cold-rolled steel sheet for the main housing 100 provides excellent mechanical strength, rigidity, and impact resistance, offering robust physical protection for the internal precision test circuits and effectively resisting bumps and vibrations that may occur during field handling and vehicle transportation. At the same time, the good conductivity of cold-rolled steel sheet facilitates overall electromagnetic shielding and safe grounding.
