Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application, which are generally described and illustrated in the figures herein, may be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, as provided in the accompanying drawings, is not intended to limit the scope of the application, as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.
It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following figures, and thus once an item is defined in one figure, no further definition or explanation thereof is necessary in the following figures. Meanwhile, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used only to distinguish the description, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
As shown in fig. 1, a hall current sensor provided in this embodiment includes: hall IC10, hall IC10 has opposing first and second surfaces 11, 12. The second surface 12 has a recess for receiving at least one hall element 20. The hall element 20 is a hall effect based magnetic sensor with which the magnetic field and its changes can be detected.
The hall current sensor comprises a current conductor for transmitting a current to be detected, said current conductor comprising a first current conductor 41 and a second current conductor 42. The first current conductor is arranged below the first surface 11 of the hall IC10 and the second current conductor 42 is arranged above the second surface 12. As described with reference to fig. 3, the first current conductor 41 includes a current input 411 and a current output 412; the second current conductor 42 comprises a current input 421 and a current output 422. The current input 411 and the current input 421 are located on one side of the hall current sensor, and the current output 412 and the current output 422 are located on the opposite side of the hall current sensor. The first current conductor 41 and the second current conductor 42 are disposed on both upper and lower sides of the hall IC10 and around the hall element 20, so that the hall element 20 more effectively detects the magnetic field E generated by the first current conductor 41 and the second current conductor 42 due to the current flow. Further, the first current conductor 41 and the second current conductor 42 preferably have the same material and structure, and the first current conductor 41 and the second current conductor 42 are symmetrically wound around the upper and lower sides of the hall element 20, so that the resistances of the first current conductor 41 and the second current conductor 42 are substantially equal.
According to the embodiment, the current conductors are arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the Hall IC, so that the metal area of the current conductors is increased, the heat dissipation performance is improved, and the current detection range is effectively increased.
Further, the current input 411 of the first current conductor 41 and the current input 421 of the second current conductor 42 may be connected to the same current or different currents. For example, when a large current is detected, for example, when the current exceeds 100A, the current input terminal 411 and the current input terminal 421 are commonly connected to each other, and the current output terminal are electrically connected to each other to commonly output the large current, and the magnetic field detected by the hall IC10 is the sum of the magnetic fields generated when the large current flows through the first current conductor 41 and the second current conductor. When detecting small currents, for example currents less than 50A, the first and second current conductors may be electrically isolated, in which case the first and second current conductors may each carry a different current, in which case the hall IC10 may detect magnetic fields generated by two different currents flowing through the first and second current conductors 41.
According to the current sensor, when large current is detected, the double-current input and output sections are connected in parallel, so that the current detection range is improved; when detecting small current, the double-current input and output sections are electrically isolated, and the Hall IC is used for detecting different currents, so that multifunctional detection is realized.
Because the upper side and the lower side of the Hall IC are provided with the current conductors, the electric isolation requirement of the Hall IC and the current conductors is further improved, and the electric isolation effect is improved. The insulating layer of the present embodiment includes a first insulating layer 31 and a second insulating layer 32. The first insulating layer 31 is formed of a material having high dielectric strength, such as a glass dielectric material or a silicon-based dielectric material. In some embodiments, the first insulating layer has a thickness of about 50 to 180 microns, isolating the hall IC from the current conductor at high voltage. The hall IC may be bonded to the first insulating layer 31 using an adhesive. Preferably, the adhesive is made of an insulating material.
The second insulating layer 32 is formed of a material having high dielectric strength, such as a glass dielectric material or a silicon-based dielectric material. In some embodiments, the thickness of the second insulating layer is greater than the thickness of the first insulating layer, such that on the one hand the distance of the second current conductor from the hall element is substantially equal to the distance of the first current conductor from the hall element; on the other hand, through increasing the thickness of second insulating layer, further promoted high voltage isolation effect. The second insulating layer has a thickness of about 200 to 3000 micrometers
In another embodiment, the second insulating layer is a multi-layer structure, for example, a 2-layer or 3-layer insulating structure (as shown in fig. 2), and one of the layers of the multi-layer insulating structure may be the same as the first insulating layer for high-voltage isolation of the hall IC from the current conductor. The second insulating layer may further include an electromagnetic shielding layer for shielding electromagnetic interference of the second current conductor.
A signal pin 50, the signal pin 50 being connected to the hall IC10 by a lead 60.
Further, the current sensor includes a package case, the signal pin 50 protrudes out of the package case through an opening of the package case, and a portion of the signal pin 50 that does not protrude out of the package case is connected to the hall IC10 through a lead 60.
The foregoing description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the same, but rather, various modifications and variations may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following figures, and thus once an item is defined in one figure, no further definition or explanation thereof is necessary in the following figures.
The foregoing is merely specific embodiments of the present application, but the scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think about changes or substitutions within the technical scope of the present application, and the changes and substitutions are intended to be covered by the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
