Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of current transformer technology, and specifically to a current transformer structure that is easy to use. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, measuring instruments are typically installed on cables and busbars to better monitor the operating status of electrical equipment. Instrument transformers, a general term encompassing both current transformers and voltage transformers, are instruments that convert a large primary current into a small secondary current based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. An instrument transformer mainly consists of a closed iron core and windings. Its primary winding has a small number of turns and is connected in series with the line containing the current to be measured. Due to the operating environment of instrument transformers, to reduce the impact of power equipment on their operation, they are generally protected by a protective casing. In current technology, most instrument transformers typically use a ring-shaped iron core placed inside a casing, with the two casings assembled. During assembly, the casings need to be aligned and secured with bolts. Therefore, common instrument transformers often have a wire clamp slot in the center of the ring shape, requiring the cable end to pass through the slot for use, making installation and use inconvenient.

[0015] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0016] like Figure 1-3The present invention discloses a user-friendly transformer structure, comprising an outer casing 1 and an iron core 2. The outer casing 1 includes a main casing 11 and a movable casing 12 that moves relative to the main casing 11. The main casing 11 is provided with a notch 13 for cable insertion. The movable casing 12 is provided with a stop 14 that matches the notch 13. The main casing 11 and the movable casing 12 are fastened together to form a cable clamping groove 15 for the cable to be tested. The main casing 11 is also provided with a clamping plate 16, which rotates relative to the cable clamping groove 15 to clamp the cable to be tested passing through the cable clamping groove 15.

[0017] As a further provision of the above scheme, a C-shaped core 21 and a movable core 22 are respectively provided inside the main shell 11 and the movable shell 12, and the C-shaped core 21 and the movable core 22 constitute an annular iron core 2.

[0018] As a further provision of the above scheme, the main housing 11 is provided with a sliding column 31 and a limiting column 32, and the movable housing 12 is provided with a sliding groove 33 that matches the sliding column 31 and a limiting groove 34 that matches the limiting column 32.

[0019] As a further provision of the above scheme, the main housing 11 is also provided with a buckle groove 35, and the movable housing 12 is also provided with an elastic buckle plate 36 and a U-shaped relief groove 37 for the elastic buckle plate 36 to swing elastically.

[0020] As a further provision of the above scheme, the outer shell 1 is also provided with a hanging groove 41 and a hanging plate 42. The hanging groove 41 includes a slot 43, and the hanging plate 42 is provided with an insert plate part 44, a hanging ring 45 and a wedge plate 46.

[0021] As a further provision of the above scheme, the main housing 11 is provided with abutting teeth 17 relative to the card plate 16, and the card plate 16 is provided with abutting teeth 18. The card plate 16 is hinged to the main housing 11, and a hook groove 19 is also provided on the side of it facing the line card groove 15.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The current transformer structure of this utility model, as shown, allows the movable shell 12, carrying the movable core 22, to separate and move relative to the main shell 11 and the C-shaped core 21. This opens a notch in the annular iron core 2, facilitating the insertion of the cable and the installation of the current transformer. In use, the current transformer of this embodiment is activated by pressing the elastic buckle 36 on the movable shell 12, causing it to swing inward toward the U-shaped relief groove 37. Simultaneously, the buckle 36 is released from its snap-fit ​​with the buckle groove 35 on the inner side of the main shell 11, allowing the movable shell 12 to move relative to the main shell 11. Furthermore, by moving the movable shell 12 downward based on the cooperation of the sliding groove 33 and the sliding column 31, the notch groove 13 is opened, and the wire clamping groove 15 is opened, allowing the cable to be tested to be inserted into the wire clamping groove 15. Then, the movable shell 12 is pushed back to its original position, and the assembly of the outer shell 1 is completed based on the snap-fit ​​of the elastic buckle 36 into the buckle groove 35, so that the iron core 2 is fastened to the circumference of the cable to form an annular structure.

[0023] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the main housing 11 of the transformer housing 1 is provided with abutting teeth 17 relative to the locking plate 16, and abutting teeth 18 are provided on the locking plate 16 which swings relative to the main housing 11. The abutting teeth 18 switch between several abutting teeth 17. Based on the elasticity of the locking plate 16 itself, the pressure on one side of the abutting teeth 18 can easily switch between the abutting teeth 17 during adjustment, while on the other side, the locking groove 19 is stuck on the cable and the reaction force makes it difficult to push the locking plate 16 to swing. Thus, the locking plate 16 can easily adjust the diameter of the wire clamping groove 15 through the abutting teeth 18 and the abutting teeth 17, and clamp the cable to be tested in the wire clamping groove 15, thereby improving the stability of use.

[0024] As a further provision of the above solution, the outer casing 1 is also provided with a hanging groove 41 and a hanging plate 42. The hanging groove 41 includes a slot 43, and the hanging plate 42 is provided with an insertion plate portion 44, a hanging ring 45, and a wedge plate 46. Further as described above, in this embodiment, the outer casing 1 is provided with a hanging plate 42 that is locked in the hanging groove 41. The hanging ring 45 on the hanging plate 42 facilitates the position restriction of the current transformer casing, preventing the current transformer from moving too much relative to the cable when the clamping plate 16 is not clamped tightly, for example, when installed at a high place. As described above, through the structural design on the current transformer casing of this embodiment, the casing facilitates the installation and use of the current transformer, and improves its holding and stability during use.

[0025] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of this utility model and its equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
