Problems solved by technology

[0018] Even so, when the thermal switch is made non-recovery, both ends of the current-limiting resistor remain short-circuited, and the current-limiting function cannot be performed when the power is turned on next time, so the thermal switch cannot be made non-recovery.

Embodiment 1

[0081] figure 1 It is a side sectional view of the thermal switch of Example 1. At once figure 1 In the illustrated thermal switch 10 , the thermal switch main body 1 is assembled into a box-shaped rectangular parallelepiped insulating frame 2 that is open on one side (the right side in the drawing).

[0082] Furthermore, the thermal switch main body 1 is sealed in the housing 2 by the sealing member 5, and the first terminal 3 and the second terminal 4 are terminals for connecting to external connection wires 41 and 42, respectively.

[0083] figure 2 is to remove figure 1 The frame body 2 and the sealing member 5 are disassembled to show the perspective view of the structure of the thermal switch main body 1 . use figure 1 and figure 2 Describe the structure of the thermal switch of this example.

[0084] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the thermal switch main body 1 is composed of a fixed conductor 6 , an insulator 7 , a movable plate 8 , a bimetallic st...

[0160] Figure 6 It is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the thermal switch of Example 2. In addition, in Figure 6 in, for with figure 2 The same structure or function part, added with the figure 2 The minimum number of labels required in the same description is indicated.

[0161] Figure 6 thermal switch 37 shown with figure 2 The difference is that there is no such as figure 2 The movable plate 8 is divided into a narrow part and a wide part like the thermal switch 10 shown, but is one piece.

[0162] Even in the shape of the movable plate as described above, the resistance can be increased by selecting its material as a low-conductivity material, so that it can be used as a resistive movable plate, that is, a heating resistor. The current to be processed can be set in the same manner as in the case of the first embodiment.

[0163] In addition, the movable plate may be a normal movable plate, and additional resistors may be incorporated in ...

[0165] Figure 7 It is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the thermal switch of Example 3. In addition, in Figure 7 in, for with figure 2 The same structure or function part, added with the figure 2 The minimum number of labels required in the same description is indicated.

[0166]In the thermal switch 38 of this example, removed figure 2 or Figure 6 Movable plate 8, bimetal 9 has three modes of the effect of movable plate, the effect of resistor, the effect of double resistance concurrently. That is, the thermal protector 38 of this example is an example of a structure in which a current directly flows through the bimetal 9 .

[0167] The bimetal 9 of this example has a fixing portion 40 having a hole 39 fitted to the support 13 in the insulator 7 .

[0168] In addition, this bimetal 9 has: the second terminal 4, which is formed on the fixed part 40, for external connection; The position where the fixed contact 12 of the conductor 6 is opposit...

Abstract

A movable plate 8 is partitioned by a slim hole 23 into a narrow-width part 21 and a wide-width part 22. When a contact is closed as a thermal switch 10, the narrow-width part 21 produces heat with an applied current branched via a first terminal 3 and a second terminal 4, which short-circuits both ends of the current limit resistor, and the heat of a bimetal 9 is retained with a small amount of local heat to self-hold the non-restoration state, so that the current limit resistor is quickly cooled down. When the power supply switch is turned off, the heat produced by the narrow-width part 21 is quickly cooled down to restore the thermal switch 10 in a short time. Also when the power supply is again turned on in a short time, the current limit resistor is made to function efficiently.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a thermal switch for use in a power supply unit for producing a DC voltage from an AC power source. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a power supply device that generates a predetermined DC voltage from an AC power supply. In such a power supply device, generally, a smoothing circuit composed of a large-capacity capacitor is provided on the downstream side of the rectifying element. [0003] In the above-mentioned large-capacity capacitor, a large current caused by an inrush current immediately after energization flows instantaneously. Depending on conditions, this current may range from several tens of A (ampere) to about 100A. [0004] Therefore, when the inrush current is large, there is a great adverse effect of shortening the life of the power switch and the rectifier diode. [0005] In order to avoid such adverse effects, a current-limiting resistor is generally arranged in series dow...
