Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-6 A current sensor structure includes a sensor housing 100, in which a coil probe 101 and a PCB board 102 are arranged. A heat sink 103 is fixedly mounted on the PCB board 102. A wiring terminal 104 is arranged on the side of the sensor housing 100. An annular protective pad 105 is arranged at the annular hole of the sensor housing 100. A mounting base 200 is fixedly mounted on the bottom side of the sensor housing 100. A mounting clamping mechanism and a cable positioning mechanism are arranged on the mounting base 200. The clamping mechanism includes two mounting claws 201, which are slidably mounted on the bottom side of the mounting base 200. For high current sensors of 2000A and above, by integrating the coil probe, control board, and power supply together, the overall size is reduced, the weight is reduced, and it is more portable, while still possessing the installation flexibility of a small current sensor.

[0024] In an optional embodiment: the mounting base 200 has a sliding groove 202, a U-shaped drive rod 203 is slidably mounted in the sliding groove 202, and the mounting claw 201 is fixedly mounted on the U-shaped drive rod 203.

[0025] It should be noted that the movable U-shaped drive rod 203 drives the mounting claw 201 on the outside of the mounting base 200 to move through the slide groove 202, thereby achieving clamping.

[0026] In an optional embodiment: a clamping screw 204 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting base 200, a threaded sleeve 205 is threaded onto the clamping screw 204, and the same drive rod 206 is rotatably mounted between the threaded sleeve 205 and the U-shaped drive rod 203.

[0027] In an optional embodiment: both ends of the drive rod 206 are rotatably mounted with drive shafts 207, the two drive shafts 207 are respectively fixedly mounted on the U-shaped drive rod 203 and the threaded sleeve 205, and a clamping knob 208 is fixedly mounted on one end of the clamping screw 204 that extends out of the mounting base 200.

[0028] It should be noted that the clamping knob 208 drives the clamping screw 204 to rotate, the rotating clamping screw 204 drives the threaded sleeve 205 to move, the moving threaded sleeve 205 drives the drive rod 206 to rotate through the drive shaft 207, and the rotating drive rod 206 drives the U-shaped drive rod 203 to move through another drive shaft 207.

[0029] In an optional embodiment: the cable positioning mechanism includes a positioning plate 300, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 200. A fixing rubber pad 301 is fixedly mounted inside the positioning plate 300 and slidably mounted inside the positioning plate 300.

[0030] It should be noted that by using the fixed rubber pad 301 and the movable rubber pad 302 to position and clamp the cable on both sides of the sensor housing 100, the stability of the measurement can be guaranteed.

[0031] In an optional embodiment: a positioning bracket 305 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the positioning plate 300, a positioning slider 306 is slidably installed in the positioning bracket 305, a connecting block 303 is fixedly installed on both the positioning slider 306 and the movable rubber pad 302, and the same positioning rod 304 is rotatably installed between the two connecting blocks 303.

[0032] It should be noted that the rotating positioning screw 307 drives the positioning slider 306 to slide within the positioning arm 305, and the sliding positioning arm 305 drives the movable rubber pad 302 to move to a different position through the connecting block 303 in conjunction with the positioning rod 304.

[0033] In an optional embodiment: a positioning screw 307 is threaded onto the positioning slider 306, and a positioning knob 308 is fixedly installed at one end of the positioning screw 307 extending out of the positioning plate 300. It should be noted that the direction and position of the cable through which the current sensor passes have a certain impact on the measurement accuracy. The position of the cable needs to be fixed. Rotating the positioning knob 308 will cause the positioning screw 307 to rotate.

[0034] Working principle of this utility model:

[0035] When using this device, the cable is simply placed inside the opening in the sensor housing 100 for measurement. The sensor housing 100 is positioned by clamping with the mounting jaws 201. Rotating the clamping knob 208 drives the clamping screw 204 to rotate. The rotating clamping screw 204 moves the threaded sleeve 205, which in turn drives the drive rod 206 to rotate via the drive shaft 207. The rotating drive rod 206, in turn, drives the U-shaped drive rod 203 via another drive shaft 207. The moving U-shaped drive rod 203, through the sliding groove 202, moves the mounting jaws 201 on the outside of the mounting base 200 to achieve clamping. The direction and position of the cable passing through the current sensor have a certain impact on the measurement accuracy. It is necessary to fix the position of the cable. Rotating the positioning knob 308 drives the positioning screw 307 to rotate. The rotating positioning screw 307 drives the positioning slider 306 to slide within the positioning pad 305. The sliding positioning pad 305, through the connecting block 303 and in cooperation with the positioning rod 304, drives the movable rubber pad 302 to move to a different position. Then, the movable rubber pad 302 and the fixed rubber pad 301 are used to clamp the cable. After the fixed rubber pad 301 and the movable rubber pad 302 are used to position and clamp the cable on both sides of the sensor housing 100, the measurement stability can be guaranteed.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
