The invention belongs to the technical field of thermal switches, and particularly relates to an expansion type thermal switch based on a paper-
cut structure, which comprises a
thermal expansion paper-
cut structure, the
thermal expansion paper-
cut structure is a
central symmetry structure, two ends of the
thermal expansion paper-cut structure are fixedly connected through a fixing plate, and the top end of the thermal expansion paper-cut structure is fixedly connected with the bottom end of a fixed heat source; the
negative thermal expansion paper-cut structure is of a
central symmetry structure, the two ends of the
negative thermal expansion paper-cut structure are fixedly connected through a fixing plate, and the bottom end of the
negative thermal expansion paper-cut structure is fixedly connected with the top end of the fixed cold source; the thermal expansion paper-cut structure and the negative thermal expansion paper-cut structure are horizontally arranged in parallel, a first gap is reserved between the bottom end of the thermal expansion paper-cut structure and the top end of the fixed cold source, and a second gap is reserved between the top end of the negative thermal expansion paper-cut structure and the bottom end of the fixed heat source. The invention has the advantages of larger thermal
stroke, extremely small contact
thermal resistance, larger switch ratio and long service life in overheat and overcold space environments.
