Furthermore, some aspects of this utility model can be used alone or in any suitable combination with other aspects disclosed in this utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a Hall effect small current probe sensor structure for confined spaces, including a cover 1, a magnetic core assembly 2 disposed in the inner cavity of the cover 1, a main housing 3 disposed on the back of the cover 1, and a movable button 4 slidably connected to the front of the cover 1; the magnetic core assembly 2 includes a C-shaped magnetic core 201 and a movable magnetic core 202 disposed on one side of the C-shaped magnetic core 201, a magnetic core air gap is formed between the C-shaped magnetic core 201 and the movable magnetic core 202, and a Hall element 203 is disposed in the inner cavity of the magnetic core air gap, a circuit board 204 is welded to the lower end of the Hall element 203, and an electrical lead 205 is welded to the lower end of the circuit board 204;
[0025] The movable magnetic core 202 includes holes 2021 formed on its surface, and a spring 2022 is provided at the bottom of the movable magnetic core 202.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the cover 1 and the main housing 3 serve as the main protective and supporting components of the sensor's external structure, providing installation space for internal components. They are also ultrasonically welded with the main housing 3 to form a complete closed structure, ensuring that precision components such as the internal magnetic core assembly 2 are protected from external environmental interference and enhancing the overall structural strength. The C-shaped magnetic core 201, as the main component of the magnetic field circuit, has an open side for cooperating with the movable magnetic core 202 to form a closed magnetic circuit. The bottom lead through hole 5 is used for the electrical lead 205 to pass through, realizing the connection with the external circuit. The concave groove on the right side cooperates with the convex design on the top of the movable magnetic core 202, increasing the contact area when closed to reduce magnetic resistance. At the same time, physical positioning ensures precise alignment of the magnetic circuit and improves measurement stability.
[0027] The movable magnetic core 202 opens and closes the sensor window by moving up and down. The top convex structure cooperates with the concave groove of the C-shaped magnetic core 201 to form a complete magnetic circuit when closed, enhancing the magnetic field detection sensitivity. The bottom spring 2022 provides a reset force to ensure that it automatically closes after the movable button 4 is released. The surface hole 2021 is used to insert with the protruding cylinder of the movable button 4 to achieve mechanical linkage. By sliding the movable button 4 up and down, the movement of the movable magnetic core 202 is controlled to achieve mechanical linkage, and the spring 2022 can achieve automatic reset.
[0028] The Hall element 203 is placed inside the air gap of the magnetic core. It uses the Hall effect to sense the change in magnetic field generated by the current in the cable under test and converts it into an electrical signal output. The air gap design optimizes the magnetic field concentration and improves the detection accuracy. The circuit board 204 serves as the connection carrier between the Hall element 203 and the electrical lead 205. The component is fixed by welding and the electrical signal is transmitted. The electrical lead 205 transmits the electrical signal on the circuit board 204 to the external device to complete the data acquisition and analysis.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0031] In this embodiment, a groove 7 is provided on the front of the cover 1, and one side of the movable button 4 extends into the inner cavity of the cover 1 through the groove 7. A protruding cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the movable button 4, and the protruding cylinder is inserted into the inner cavity of the hole 2021.
[0032] The bottom of the C-type magnetic core 201 is connected to a lead wire via 5, and one end of the electrical lead wire 205 passes through the lead wire via 5.
[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the slide 7 cooperates with the movable button 4 to realize the directional sliding of the movable button 4 and ensure operational stability. The surface hole 2021 is used to insert with the protruding cylinder of the movable button 4 to realize mechanical linkage. The lead wire through hole 5 ensures that the electrical lead wire 205 is neatly arranged and avoids interference with the magnetic circuit.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] Reference Figure 3-6 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0036] In this embodiment, a limiting block 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the cover 1 and the lower end of the slide groove 7. The movable button 4 is located on one side of the cover 1 and one side of the limiting block 6, both of which are in contact with the spring 2022. The cover 1 and the main housing 3 are respectively provided with slots 8 on opposite sides. Both sides of the circuit board 204 are located in the inner cavity of the slots 8.
[0037] A vertical partition 9 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the main housing 3. The movable magnetic core 202 and the spring 2022 are both located in the inner cavity of the vertical partition 9. A horizontal partition 10 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the main housing 3 and on one side of the vertical partition 9. The C-shaped magnetic core 201 and the circuit board 204 are located at the upper and lower ends of the horizontal partition 10, respectively.
[0038] like Figure 3-6 As shown, the limit block 6 restricts the maximum downward travel of the movable button 4 to prevent excessive compression of the spring 2022 and damage. At the same time, it serves as a fixing point for one end of the spring 2022, supporting the spring 2022 together with one side of the movable button 4 to ensure a uniform distribution of the reset force. The circuit board 204 is embedded in the slots 8 on both sides to achieve mechanical fixation and electrical isolation, preventing the circuit board 204 from shifting under vibration or impact, ensuring the relative position of the Hall element 203 and the air gap of the magnetic core is stable, and maintaining measurement accuracy. The vertical partition 9 restricts the movable magnetic core 202 and the spring 2022 in an independent space to prevent their movement from interfering with other components. The horizontal partition 10 separates the C-shaped magnetic core 201 and the circuit board 204 into different areas above and below to reduce magnetic field interference and improve signal quality.
[0039] When in use, press the active button 4. The active button 4 drives the active magnetic core 202 to move up and down, realizing the opening and closing of the sensor window. When the active button 4 is pressed, the active magnetic core 202 moves downward, and the sensor window opens a gap, allowing the cable under test to be placed into the sensor window. When the active button 4 is released, the spring 2022 is driven to reset, causing the active magnetic core 202 to move upward and form a closed magnetic field circuit with the C-shaped magnetic core 201. Therefore, online measurement can be achieved without damaging the cable under test, which is especially suitable for use in confined spaces.
