Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The following is combined with Figures 1-7This utility model will be described in detail.

[0029] A type of current transformer, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a housing 10, which has a mounting cavity 101. A coil 20 is disposed in the mounting cavity 101. The housing 10 has at least three fixed positions. The current transformer also includes at least three pins. One end of the pin is inserted into the fixed position, and the other end of the pin is located outside the housing 10. Some of the pins are conductive pins 30, and the remaining pins are fixed pins 40. The conductive pins 30 and the fixed pins 40 are not coaxially arranged at the ends inserted into the fixed positions. The coil 20 is electrically connected to the conductive pins 30 through a lead 60.

[0030] Therefore, the current transformer is mounted on the circuit board via conductive pins 30 and fixed pins 40. By utilizing the fact that conductive pins 30 and fixed pins 40 are not on the same straight line, the problem of the current transformer pins being easily bent under stress is mitigated, thus improving the installation stability of the current transformer. The coil 20 is electrically connected to the conductive pins 30, which can be used for electrical connection with the circuit board. Furthermore, the coil 20 can achieve the signal output of the current transformer through the electrical connection of the wire pins to the circuit board. The fixed pins 40 serve to cooperate with the conductive pins 30 to stabilize the connection structure of the current transformer. In addition, conductive pins 30 and fixed pins 40 can use the same specifications, reducing manufacturing costs. Moreover, a corresponding number of wire pins can be inserted at the fixed position according to the circuit design requirements, and a corresponding number of fixed pins 40 can be inserted at the fixed position according to the structural stability requirements, offering high flexibility and wider applicability.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the conductive pin 30 includes a first conductive connection position 301 and a second conductive connection position 302, with a first included angle between the first conductive connection position 301 and the second conductive connection position 302; the fixed pin 40 includes a first fixed connection position 401 and a second fixed connection position 402, with a second included angle between the first fixed connection position 401 and the second fixed connection position 402. The first conductive connection position 301 and the first fixed connection position 401 are connected to the housing 10, and the ends of the second conductive connection position 302 and the second fixed connection position 402 protrude from the housing 10. In actual applications, both the first included angle and the second included angle are 90 degrees. Therefore, compared to conventional pins, the L-shaped conductive pin 30 and the fixed pin 40, with their portion embedded in the housing 10, can hang the pin on the housing 10, thereby preventing the pin from falling off the housing 10 during installation.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the fixing position includes a non-coaxial first fixing groove A1021 and a second fixing groove A1031. A first conductive connection 301 is inserted into the first fixing groove A1021, and a first fixing connection 401 is inserted into the second fixing groove A1031. The sidewalls of the first fixing groove A1021 and the second fixing groove A1031 are provided with openings 1023 communicating with the mounting cavity 101, facilitating the installation of the first conductive connection 301 and the first fixing connection 401. The first conductive connection 301 and / or the first fixing connection 401 are provided with a plurality of anti-slip portions 403, which are grooves formed by a texturing process; in other embodiments, the anti-slip portions 403 may also be protrusions. Specifically, the first conductive connection position 301 is provided with an anti-slip part 403 to increase the friction between the first conductive connection position 301, the wire and the first fixing groove A1021. The first fixed connection position 401 is provided with an anti-slip part 403 to increase the friction between it and the first fixing groove B1022, improve installation reliability and further reduce the risk of pins falling off.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the fixing position also includes a first fixing groove B1022 and a second fixing groove B1032. The first fixing groove B1022 is connected to the first fixing groove A1021, and the second fixing groove B1032 is connected to the second fixing groove A1031. The first fixing groove A1021 and the first fixing groove B1022, as well as the second fixing groove A1031 and the second fixing groove B1032, form a third included angle. The third included angle is adapted to the first included angle and the second included angle, so that the second conductive connection position 302 and the second fixed connection position 402 are respectively installed in the first fixing groove B1022 and the second fixing groove B1032. Through the synergistic effect of the first fixing groove A1021 and the first fixing groove B1022, and the second fixing groove A1031 and the second fixing groove B1032, the conductive pin 30 and the fixed pin 40 are fixed to the housing 10, further improving the firmness of the pin installation.

[0034] In this embodiment, two conductive pins 30 and two fixed pins 40 are included. The conductive pins 30 and the fixed pins 40 are respectively disposed on both sides of the housing 10 to increase the connection stability between the current transformer and the circuit board.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, a cover 50 is provided at the opening 1023 of the mounting cavity 101 to cover the mounting cavity 101, and the cover 50 is provided with a side cover 501 to cover the opening of the first fixing groove A1021 to ensure electrical safety.
