Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of resistance tester technology, specifically a handheld resistance tester. Background Technology
[0002] A handheld resistance tester is a portable device specifically designed for accurately measuring the transition resistance of equipotential bonding nodes in metal components. Based on the Wheatstone bridge principle, it utilizes sophisticated measurement circuitry and algorithms to achieve high-precision measurement of low conductor resistance. The measured current and open-circuit voltage meet regulatory requirements. It can be widely used in lightning protection testing, power systems, and the electronics industry to evaluate the performance and safety of lightning protection grounding networks and electrical equipment. It can also be used to measure coil DC resistance, conductor contact resistance, and metal riveting resistance.
[0003] When using a resistance tester, the four-terminal Kelvin test clips need to be inserted into the slots on the tester. However, in actual use, the test clips are often accidentally pulled, which may not only directly cause the connection between the clips and the tester to loosen, thus interfering with the smooth measurement, but may also cause the slot structure to loosen or even be damaged due to long-term stress, ultimately having an adverse effect on the overall performance and durability of the tester. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a handheld resistance tester to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows.
[0006] A handheld resistance tester includes a tester body. A slot is located on the top of the tester body. Movable rods are rotatably mounted on the top of the tester body at each of the four corners of the slot via damping shafts. Two U-shaped blocks are fitted onto the outer surfaces of the two movable rods on the left and right sides. Through holes are formed on the outer surfaces of the U-shaped blocks. Inner grooves are formed inside the movable rods. Top rods matching the through holes are installed inside the inner grooves. A first spring is installed inside the inner grooves, with its two ends abutting against the inner wall of the inner grooves and the top rods, respectively. A recess is formed on the top of the tester body, communicating with the slot. A shielding mechanism is installed inside the recess. A display screen is installed on the surface of the tester body.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this utility model.
[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
[0026] like Figure 1-7As shown, a handheld resistance tester includes a tester body 100. A slot 101 is provided on the top of the tester body 100. Movable rods 103 are rotatably mounted on the top of the tester body 100 at each of the four corners of the slot 101 via damping shafts 102. U-shaped blocks 104 are fitted onto the outer surfaces of the two movable rods 103 on the left and right sides. Through holes 108 are formed on the outer surface of the U-shaped blocks 104. An inner groove 105 is formed inside the movable rod 103. A top rod 106 matching the through hole 108 is provided inside the inner groove 105. A first spring 107 is provided inside the inner groove 105, with its two ends abutting against the inner wall of the inner groove 105 and the top rod 106, respectively. The top of the tester body 100 is provided with a groove 109, and the groove 109 is connected to the slot 101. A shielding mechanism 200 is provided inside the groove 109. A display screen 110 is provided on the surface of the tester body 100. A toggle switch 111 is provided on the side surface of the tester body 100. A battery compartment is provided on the rear side of the tester body 100. A battery compartment cover 112 is provided on the outside of the battery compartment.
[0027] In use, first remove the obstruction mechanism 200 from the slot 101. Then, insert the four-terminal Kelvin test clip into the slot 101. Next, flip the U-shaped block 104. Since the U-shaped block 104 will be blocked by the plug end of the test clip at this time, press the top rod 106 inward to retract it into the U-shaped block 104. Then, pull the U-shaped block 104 upward so that it can flip to the bottom of the plug without being blocked by the plug. Then, press the U-shaped block 104 back into the movable rod 103 and press it firmly into the bottom of the plug. Under the elastic force of the first spring 107, the top rod 106 is reinserted into the through hole 108 to fix the U-shaped block 104, so that the U-shaped block 104 can tightly hook the plug, preventing the plug from being pulled loose and preventing the slot 101 structure from loosening or being damaged, thus ensuring the overall performance and durability of the tester body 100. The display screen 110 is used to display data, and the toggle switch 111 controls the power supply. The battery compartment can be powered by standard universal lithium batteries or dry batteries, which is convenient for maintenance and use.
[0028] When the tester body 100 is not in use, the shielding mechanism 200 can be used to shield the slot 101 to prevent external dust and impurities from entering the slot 101, which could lead to poor contact and reduced service life.
[0029] Preferably, the shielding mechanism 200 includes a baffle 201 disposed inside the groove 109. The baffle 201 has two parallel guide grooves 205 inside. The guide grooves 205 have end heads 203 inside. The outer surface of the end heads 203 is connected to a guide rod 202. The end of the guide rod 202 is connected to the inner wall of the groove 109. The outer surface of the guide rod 202 is fitted with a second spring 204. The two ends of the second spring 204 abut against the inner wall of the groove 109 and the baffle 201, respectively.
[0030] The guide rod 202 and the end 203 provide a limiting function for the baffle 201, allowing it to slide horizontally and block the slot 101. When the tester body 100 is not in use, the baffle 201 is always blocked on the outside of the slot 101 by the elastic force of the second spring 204, which can effectively prevent dust and impurities from entering the slot 101, causing poor contact and reducing service life.
[0031] Preferably, a lever 300 is installed on the outer surface of the baffle 201, and the outer surface of the lever 300 is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0032] By setting the lever 300, a force point can be provided to facilitate the movement of the sliding baffle 201 to overcome the elastic force of the second spring 204, thus exposing the slot 101 for use.
[0033] Preferably, the top of the tester body 100 is provided with a recess 400, and when the U-shaped block 104 is placed horizontally, its lower surface is located in the recess 400.
[0034] The recessed part 400 eliminates any protruding parts on the top of the tester body 100, improving aesthetics and reducing the risk of bumps and scratches.
[0035] Preferably, a limiting groove 500 is formed on the inner wall of the U-shaped block 104, and a limiting block 501 is provided on the outer surface of the movable rod 103, with the limiting block 501 disposed in the limiting groove 500.
[0036] By setting the limiting groove 500 and the limiting block 501, the range of motion of the U-shaped block 104 can be limited to prevent it from detaching from the movable rod 103 and affecting its use.
[0037] Preferably, both the inner groove 105 and the second spring 204 are electroplated.
[0038] Electroplating can give the outer surface of the inner groove 105 and the second spring 204 an electroplated layer, which has good physical, chemical and mechanical properties and can effectively improve the rust resistance of the inner groove 105 and the second spring 204.
[0039] The above is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
