Description

  The present invention relates to a stationary terminal with a built-in current transformer that is used, for example, in a meter of a watt hour meter.

  Generally, watt-hour meters are classified into a single instrument that is used alone without being combined with an instrument transformer, and an instrument with a transformer that is used in combination with a current transformer or an instrument transformer. Due to the limited wall area available for instrument mounting, traditionally large current transformers or instrument transformers have been placed in a separate installation space from the instrument, both of which are screwed Connected by tightening.

  However, the instrument has a fixed examination deadline and is required to be replaced every predetermined period. When replacing the instrument, the work of attaching and detaching the electric wire fixed by screw tightening from the instrument is complicated, and it is necessary to lay a protective sheet or the like at a site where the charging part is exposed for safety. In addition to the current terminal to which the output current from the current transformer or the like is supplied, the terminal portion of the instrument has a voltage terminal that is used for voltage detection between lines and generation of circuit power for the instrument. Seven electric wires (in the case of a three-phase three-wire system) connected to the terminal are attached to the instrument. Therefore, there is a possibility that the electric wires of different polarities removed from the meter may be brought into contact with each other, and there is a risk of erroneous connection when connecting to the meter, both of which may lead to a serious accident. In addition, when performing instrument replacement work without an uninterruptible power supply, the conventional bypass construction is expensive and time-consuming, and requires advanced technology that is difficult for non-experts.

  On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-145265 proposes a stationary terminal with a built-in current transformer that holds the current transformer in a sealed space of the stationary terminal. In JP 2010-145265 A, a current transformer is reduced in size, and the whole including the current transformer and the instrument is accommodated in the installation space of the conventional instrument. In the stationary terminal with a built-in current transformer disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-145265, the workability of instrument replacement is improved by using a connector for connection with the instrument. However, this configuration requires the instrument to have a dedicated connector that is connected to the stationary terminal connector.

The current transformer 3 has a substantially ring shape having a through hole through which the tip 7c of the primary terminal 7 passes, and the outer side of the current transformer 3 leaves a secondary output portion 8 to which the lead wire 12 is connected, and is predetermined. It can be covered with a resin molded into the shape. The thickness of the current transformer 3 is set to be smaller than the protruding length of the primary terminal 7 from the partition wall 40 so that the tip 7c of the primary terminal 7 protrudes. A notch 48a is formed on the inner surface of the front wall 48 of the secondary side connecting portion 4b so that the pair of left and right current transformers 3 are positioned, and a curved groove 49a is formed on the inner surface of the rear wall 49. The notch 48 a and the curved groove 49 a are formed along the outer shape of the current transformer 3. As described above, the distal end portion 7c of the primary terminal 7 passing through the through hole of the partition 40 is also disposed between the left and right current transformers 3 and on both sides.

  On the upper portion of the rear wall 49, a holding portion 50 for holding the fixture 10, and consequently the bar terminal assembly is formed. FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing the main body 4, the bar terminal 9 to which the lead wire 12 is connected and temporarily fixed by the fixture 10, and the upper cover 102. As shown in FIG. 6, the holding part 50 includes a recess formed by a rear wall 50a and left and right side walls 50b, and the fixture 10 is held in the recess of the holding part 50 as shown in FIG. .

As shown in FIG. 6, the bar terminal 9 is connected to the conductor 11 connected to the primary terminal 7 and the secondary output portion 8 of the current transformer 3 by a lead wire 12. FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the bar terminal assembly. In addition, the structure of the fixing tool 10 demonstrated below is only an example, and does not limit the specific structure of the fixing tool used for this invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the bar terminal assembly is formed by a bar terminal 9 and a fixture 10, and the fixture 10 includes a first portion 100 having an opening 100 a through which the bar portion 9 b of the bar terminal 9 passes, And a second portion 101 that engages with the first portion 100 and prevents the rod terminal 9 from coming off from the opening 100a. The bar terminal 9 is sandwiched between the first portion 100 and the second portion 101. Specifically, the bar terminal 9 is temporarily fixed by the fixture 10 in a state where the tip end portion of the lead wire 12 is crimped to the crimping portion 9a of the bar terminal 9, and at this time, as shown in FIG. Nine rod portions 9 b are exposed from the fixture 10.

  8A and 8B are a front view and a rear view of the first portion 100, and FIG. 9 is a rear view of the second portion. As shown in FIG. 7, in the first portion 100, the side shown in FIG. 8A (in other words, inside) and the second portion 101 in the side shown in FIG. 9 (in other words, The rod terminals 9 are clamped by being combined so that the inner side faces each other.

  Referring to FIGS. 7 to 9, the first portion 100 includes a crimping portion accommodating portion 100 f that forms a recess defined by the upper wall 100 b, the front wall 100 c, the rear wall 100 d, and the left and right side walls 100 e, and is in the recess. The crimping part 9a of the bar terminal 9 is accommodated. The opening 100a through which the bar portion 9b of the bar terminal 9 passes is formed in the upper wall 100b of the crimp housing part 100f. A partition wall 100g is disposed between the left and right sidewalls 100e of the crimp housing 100f in parallel with the sidewall 100e at a predetermined pitch corresponding to the terminal pitch of the instrument terminal portion 2a. Each bar terminal 9 is inserted into a space defined therebetween. The side wall 100e has a length that substantially covers the crimping portion 9a in the length direction, and the partition wall 100g has a length that sufficiently exceeds the side wall 100e so that the adjacent bar terminals 9 are reliably insulated. It extends to the lower part of the crimping part accommodating part 100f. The rear wall 100d also extends downward beyond the crimping portion accommodating portion 100f, and is configured such that its lower end is inserted into the holding portion 50 along the rear wall 50a of the holding portion 50. The first portion 100 also has a notch portion 100h formed at the left and right ends of the rear wall 100d and a pair of openings 100i formed at the center portion, and a claw portion 101d formed in the second portion 101. (Described later) passes through the notch 100h and the opening 100i and is configured to engage with the rear wall 100d. Further, a projection 101e (described later) formed in the second portion 101 is passed through the opening 100j formed between the opening 100i and the notch 100h.

  The second portion 101 includes an upper wall 101a having an upper surface that engages with an end of the crimping portion 9a to prevent the crimping portion 9a from being removed, and left and right sidewalls 101b that are formed continuously from the upper wall 101a. A partition wall 101c is provided between the side walls 101b at regular intervals. The claw portion 101d is formed on the left and right side walls 101b and a pair of central partition walls 101c, and the above-described protrusions 101e are formed on the remaining partition walls 101c.

  When assembling the rod terminal assembly, the rod portion 9b of the rod terminal 9 connected to the tip of each lead wire 12 by crimping is passed through the opening 100a of the first portion 100, and the crimping portion 9a is passed through the crimping portion accommodating portion 100f. Insert into. Next, the lead wire 12 is disposed in the space V between each of the side wall 101b and the partition wall 101c of the second portion 101, and the projection 101e and the central claw portion 101d of the second portion 101 are respectively corresponding to the first portions. The second portion 101 is positioned with respect to the first portion 100 by inserting the second portion 101 into the openings 100j and 100i. The engagement between the first part 100 and the second part 101 is to engage the rear wall 100d of the first part 100 with the side wall 101b of the second part 101 and the claw part 101d of the partition wall 101c. It is done by. The space V into which the lead wire 12 is inserted is set to a dimension that the crimping portion 9a cannot pass through. That is, the dimension is set such that the crimping part 9a accommodated in the crimping part accommodating part 100f contacts the upper surface of the upper wall 101a of the second part 101. Thus, a bar terminal assembly in which the bar terminal 9 is temporarily fixed to the fixture 10 is formed. The bar terminal assembly is disposed in the holding portion 50 so that the rear wall 100d of the first portion 100 is along the rear wall 50a of the holding portion 50. The rod terminal 9 is connected to the terminal portion 2a of the meter 2 by screwing as in the conventional case.

Thus, by using the fixture 10, the rod terminals 9 can be easily aligned horizontally with the main body 4 in accordance with the existing arrangement of the instrument terminal portions without the need for screw fastening of the electric wires. It can be fixed in advance at a predetermined pitch, and can be connected to a terminal portion of an existing instrument by screwing as in the conventional case. Therefore, unlike the connection work for each electric wire conventionally performed on the secondary side, the connection work with the existing instrument can be smoothly performed without the risk of erroneous connection and without providing a dedicated connector for the instrument. it can.
As described above, the specific configuration of the fixture 10 used in the present invention is not limited to that described in the present embodiment. The fixture 10 may be anything that can arrange and fix the bar terminals 9 in a horizontal row with respect to the stationary terminal body 4 at a predetermined pitch corresponding to the terminal pitch of the instrument terminal portion 2a. The bar terminal assembly may be configured by fixing the bar terminal 9 to the fixture 10 in the form of, using a means such as an adhesive, a screw, or ultrasonic welding. As means for fixing the bar terminal 9 to the fixture 10, various fixing means generally known to those skilled in the art can be used, and these means are included in the scope of the present invention. .

[About the top cover]
The stationary terminal 1 further includes an upper cover 102 as shown in FIG. 6, which has an opening 102 a that covers the distal end portion 7 c of the primary terminal 7 and exposes the rod portion 9 b of the rod terminal 9 to the outside. The bar terminal 9 is temporarily fixed by the fixture 10 inside the upper cover 102. The opening 102a is dimensioned such that the fixture 10, and thus the bar terminal assembly, is movable within the opening 102a. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal portion 2 a of the conventional meter 2 generally has an insertion hole 201 for a distribution line, and the insertion hole 201 is opened below the meter 2. When the stationary terminal 1 is connected to the instrument 2, the bar portion 9 b of the bar terminal 9 is inserted into each insertion hole 201 and screwed. The bar terminal 9 has flexibility like the distribution line 5. Not. Therefore, as described above, the front side of the holding portion 50 of the main body 4 is opened, and the size of the opening 102a of the upper cover 102 is allowed to move forward, backward, left and right within the opening 102a. Therefore, the rod terminal 9 can be smoothly inserted into and removed from the insertion hole 201. Thereby, connection with the bar terminal 9 and the terminal part 2a of the meter 2 can be performed easily. In order to make the insertion / extraction of the bar terminal 9 with respect to the insertion hole 201 smoother, the lead wire 12 preferably has the highest possible flexibility. The upper cover 102 is screwed to the rear wall 49 of the main body 4 on the back side.

  In addition, a protrusion 102 b that can contact the outer surface of the current transformer 3 is formed on the inner surface of the upper cover 102. FIGS. 10A and 10B show the positional relationship between the current transformer 3 and the upper cover 102. Although the current transformer 3 is positioned by the notch 48a and the curved groove 49a of the main body 4 described above, there is a possibility that rattling occurs in the vertical direction. If the current transformer 3 is rattled, the outer mold resin of the current transformer 3 is rubbed with surrounding members to generate powder and become foreign matter. As shown in FIG. 10B, the current transformer 3 is sandwiched between the protrusion 102 b and the partition wall 40 of the main body 4, so that the backlash in the vertical direction of the current transformer 3 can be reliably prevented. If desired, a cushioning material such as rubber or sponge may be inserted between the protrusion 102b and the current transformer 3.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper cover 102 includes a sealing hole 102 c through which a sealing line (in other words, a wire) is passed after the current transformer 3 is tested. The main body 4 is also provided with a sealing hole 48b at a position corresponding to the sealing hole 102c, and sealing is performed through a wire through these sealing holes 102c and 48b.

  The current transformer 3 of the stationary terminal 1 is tested at regular intervals, and after the test is finished, as shown in FIG. 11, sealing wires (wires) are passed through the sealing holes 102c and 48b, and the sealing material 105 is passed through. By attaching, the current transformer 3 is sealed in the stationary terminal 1. At this time, a plate-shaped test seal slip 106 certifying that the inspection has passed is attached to the sealing material 105, but the side wall of the upper cover 102 has a recess in which the plate-shaped seal slip 106 is inserted and held. A holder portion 102e to be formed is provided. The holder portion 102e may be provided on the main body 4. By providing the holder portion 102e, there is no possibility that the verification seal slip 106 will be sandwiched between the terminal cover 103 and the main body 4 when the terminal cover 103, which will be described later, is attached to the main body 4 after the verification operation. Work can be done smoothly.

[About terminal cover]
When using the measuring instrument 2, a terminal cover 103 as shown in FIG. 12 is attached to the front surface of the main body 4 of the stationary terminal 1. As shown in FIG. 12, the secondary side of the front surface of the main body 4 is already covered with the upper cover 102, and only the secondary output unit 8 of the current transformer 3 is exposed to the outside. Accordingly, the terminal cover 103 is attached to the front surface of the main body 4 so as to cover at least the base end portion 7 b of the primary terminal 7. 13A and 13B are perspective views of the terminal cover 103 attached to the front surface of the main body 4 at the first position and the second position, respectively. The terminal cover 103 covers the entire front surface of the main body 4. The first position as shown in FIG. 13A and the second position as shown in FIG. 13B inverted in the vertical direction with respect to the first position. Either of them is used in a state of being attached to the main body 4. In the first position shown in FIG. 13A, both the base end portion 7 b of the primary terminal 7 that is a charging unit and the secondary output unit 8 of the current transformer 3 are covered with the terminal cover 103. On the other hand, in the second position, only the secondary output portion 8 of the current transformer 3 is exposed among the base end portion 7 b of the primary terminal 7 and the secondary output portion 8 of the current transformer 3. For example, when the secondary output unit 8 needs to be short-circuited, for example, when the meter 2 is replaced without a power failure, the screw 103 a that fixes the terminal cover 103 to the main body 4 at the first position is removed from the screw hole 46. The terminal cover 103 can be fixed to the main body 4 at the second position by removing the terminal cover 103 from the main body 4, turning it up and down, and attaching the screw 103 a to the screw hole 46 again. At this time, since the primary side charging unit is completely covered with the terminal cover 103 and the upper cover 102, the operator can smoothly perform the short-circuiting operation without fear of touching the primary side charging unit. The short-circuiting operation is performed, for example, using a short-circuit device such as a hook-shaped short-circuit piece 8a attached to one of the secondary output parts 8 having the same polarity as shown in the figure. In the present embodiment, the short-circuiting operation includes a pair of secondary output sections 8 on one side (KU, LU) and a pair of secondary output sections 8 on the third side (KW, LW), respectively, as hook-shaped short-circuit pieces 8a. It is done by connecting with. 14A and 14B show the non-short-circuited state and the short-circuited state of the short-circuit piece 8a, respectively. In addition, the short circuit apparatus used for this invention is not restricted to the short circuit piece 8a of illustration, For example, arbitrary short circuit structures, such as a banana clip or an alligator terminal, can be used.

After the instrument replacement work is completed, it is necessary to reverse the terminal cover 103 in the vertical direction again and fix it to the main body 4 at the first position. At this time, in order to prevent the operator from forgetting to cancel the short-circuit state The terminal cover 103 has a protrusion 103b as shown in FIG. The protrusion 103b is formed at a position where it interferes with (in other words, contacts) the short-circuited short piece 8a when the terminal cover 103 is disposed at the first position. FIG. 16 shows a positional relationship between the protrusion 103b and the short-circuit piece 8a (in a non-short-circuit state). As shown in FIG. 16, when the short-circuit piece 8a is in a non-short-circuit state, the protrusion 103b is accommodated in the gap between the secondary output parts 8 having the same polarity, so that the terminal cover 103 interferes with the short-circuit piece 8a. Without being fixed to the main body 4.
That is, in the present embodiment, the instrument replacement work without a power failure is performed according to the following procedure.
(1) Remove the screw 103a from the screw hole 46 and remove the terminal cover 103 at the first position from the main body 4.
(2) The terminal cover 103 is turned upside down, placed on the main body 4 at the second position, and fixed with screws 103a.
(3) The secondary output part 8 of the current transformer 3 is short-circuited by the short-circuit piece 8a.
(4) Replace the meter 2.
(5) Cancel the short circuit state of the short circuit piece 8a.
(6) The terminal cover 103 at the second position is removed from the main body 4, inverted in the vertical direction, and fixed to the main body 4 at the first position.

  The present invention is applied to a stationary terminal used in a meter with a transformer used in combination with a current transformer or a transformer for a meter such as a watt hour meter.
