[0036] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual proportions. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] This utility model provides a wireless beam temperature sensing terminal device for external wiring of an electricity meter. The structure of the wireless beam temperature sensing terminal is optimized, enabling wave soldering with the circuit board, reducing manual soldering, adapting to automated production, improving assembly efficiency and connection reliability, and reducing electrical faults. At the same time, it can also improve the compatibility of copper post connection, meet the needs of copper post connection of different specifications, and improve installation flexibility.

[0041] Figures 1-10 The diagram shown is an overall structural schematic of one embodiment of a wireless beam temperature sensing terminal device for external wiring of an electricity meter according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-10 The main structure of this embodiment includes: a current transformer 1, which is provided with a first terminal 11, a sampling welding pin 12 and a coil lead-out welding pin 13;

[0042] Relay 2, which is provided with a second terminal 21 and a control solder pin 22;

[0043] The main terminal 3 is provided with a positioning boss 31, a positioning post 32, a buckle 33 and a round hole 34;

[0044] Terminal block 4, which is provided with positioning boss limiting hole 41 and welding pin limiting hole 42;

[0045] Temperature sensing circuit board 5, which is provided with positioning hole 51, snap-fit ​​hole 52, thermal conductive adhesive for temperature sensing chip 53 and motherboard pin 54.

[0046] The adapter component includes a circular frame 61 located at the circular hole 34, an annular outer frame 62 communicating with the circular frame 61, a cylinder 63 fixed to the bottom surface of the annular outer frame 62, a threaded hole 64 opened on the surface of the annular outer frame 62, and a circular opening 65 opened on the surface of the main terminal 3.

[0047] In practical use, the first step is to weld relay 2 to copper pillars 1 and 2, and transformer 1 to copper pillars 3 and 4. Then, copper pillars 1 and 2 and copper pillars 3 and 4 are pressed into the corresponding round holes 34 on the main terminal 5. During the entire welding process, welding fixtures are used to maintain their relative positions.

[0048] In the second step, the main terminal 3 is assembled with the terminal block 4 through the positioning boss 31. At the same time, the sampling welding pin 12 and the two coil lead-out welding pins 13 of the current transformer 1 pass through the three welding pin limiting holes 42 at the corresponding positions. This ensures the relative position of the three welding pins on the current transformer 1, which is convenient for the subsequent installation of the temperature sensing circuit board 5.

[0049] The third step is to insert the positioning hole 51 on the temperature sensing circuit board 5 into the positioning post 32 on the main terminal 3. At the same time as insertion, the buckle 33 of the main terminal 3 also enters the buckle hole 52 of the temperature sensing circuit board 5. The buckle hole 52 causes the buckle to deform and press the temperature sensing circuit board 5. The temperature sensing circuit board 5 has two temperature sensing chips and thermally conductive rubber "A and B". At the same time as the circuit board is pressed, the thermally conductive rubber on "A and B" deforms and presses the terminal "2" on the relay 2 and the terminal "3" on the current transformer 1 respectively, realizing the one-time installation of the temperature sensing circuit board 5, thereby obtaining the wireless connection terminal device.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a main control circuit board 7, which has positioning holes 71.

[0051] The terminal block 4 is provided with a positioning post 43;

[0052] In practical use, the two positioning holes 71 of the main control circuit board 7 are aligned with the two positioning posts 43 of the terminal block 4 as guides, and all the soldering pins are inserted. Because each step of the above operation is precisely positioned, the insertion of the main control circuit board 7 is relatively smooth in actual production. Then, a special fixture is used to perform wave soldering, achieving one-time soldering of all the soldering pins, which greatly improves production efficiency and welding reliability, and saves manual soldering costs. It has broad application prospects for expanding production and realizing automation.

[0053] Furthermore, the adapter component includes a circular frame 61 disposed at the circular hole 34, an annular outer frame 62 communicating with the circular frame 61, a cylinder 63 fixed to the bottom surface of the annular outer frame 62, a threaded hole 64 opened on the surface of the annular outer frame 62, and a circular opening 65 opened on the surface of the main terminal 3.

[0054] In practical use, the circular frame 61 and the circular hole 34 are connected to each other, and the cylinder 63 is inserted into the corresponding circular opening 65. Then, the cylinder 63 is spot welded. At this time, the diameter of the annular outer frame 62 is larger than the diameter of the circular frame 61. Therefore, this structural design can be adapted to the connection of copper cylinders of different diameters, improving adaptability.

[0055] Furthermore, the adapter component also includes a circular slot 66 formed within the circular opening 65;

[0056] In practical use, spot welding of cylinder 62 should be avoided. The welding material will cover the pin position of cylinder 62, which can easily cause cylinder 62 to fall off. By opening a circular groove 66, the welding liquid drips into the circular groove 66 during spot welding, increasing the contact area with cylinder 62. This avoids the problem of cylinder 63 falling off and ensures the stability of the copper column connection.

[0057] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
