The invention discloses a small high-efficiency
overcurrent and overheat protector, and relates to the technical field of design of
overcurrent and overheat protectors for
home appliance motors such as an automobile, a
vacuum cleaner and a
soya bean milk
machine. The small high-efficiency
overcurrent and overheat protector comprises two bottom boards, a shell, a heating wire, a moving contact, a static contact, a fixing board, a
bimetallic strip, and an insulating paper, wherein the two bottom boards are connected through the heating wire; the shell is arranged above the two bottom boards; the static contact is arranged above one bottom board; the moving contact is arranged at one end of the
bimetallic strip and is arranged above the static contact in an opening and closing mode; the other end of the
bimetallic strip is connected with the inner top of the shell via the fixing board; the insulating paper is arranged between the two bottom boards and the shell; and edges at two sides of the shell are provided with limiting grooves respectively, two sides of the two bottom boards are provided with riveting lugs matched with the limiting grooves, and the riveting lugs are clamped in the corresponding limiting grooves respectively. As two sides of the shell are provided with the limiting grooves, the riveting lugs of the bottom boards are just clamped in the corresponding limiting grooves in the case of
assembly, and thus, the riveting strength between the shell and the bottom boards is enhanced.
