[0037] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0038] Referring to the drawings Figure 1 14, the thermal fuse is provided with a center cavity 7 or a special-shaped center cavity 12 in the middle of the shell 1, the shell 1 is provided with a right end sealing cavity 8 and a left end sealing cavity 11 at both ends respectively, the cover plate 5 is installed at both ends or one end of the center cavity 7 or the special-shaped center cavity 12, the both ends of the thermal element 3 are welded with the lead wire respectively, the outer surface of the thermal element 3 is wrapped with the flux 4, the lead wire 2 extends to the outside of the shell 1 through the lead wire hole 9 in the cover plate 5, and the right end sealing cavity 8 and the left end sealing cavity 11 are sealed with the epoxy resin glue 6.

[0039] Before being welded with the thermal element 3, one end of the lead wire 2 in the thermal fuse is hit or stamped into a flat shape, and then is welded with the thermal element 3.

[0040] The shell 1 of the thermal fuse is circular or rectangular in shape, the center cavity 7 or the special-shaped center cavity 12 provided in the shell 1 is circular or rectangular in shape, the inner diameter of which is smaller than that of the right end sealing cavity 8 and not larger than that of the left end sealing cavity 11, and the hole diameter of the through hole 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the left end sealing cavity 11, so that the both ends of the center cavity 7 or the special-shaped center cavity 12 form a boss.

[0041] The cover plate 5 of the thermal fuse is provided with a lead wire hole 9 in the center, which is circular, octopus-shaped or any one of multi-claw-shaped, the thickness of the cover plate 5 varies according to the characteristics required by the thermal fuse, and the cover plate 5 is made of metal material which is easy to be stamped and formed and has good thermal conductivity.

[0042] The special-shaped center cavity 12 provided in the shell 1 of the thermal fuse is provided with a through hole 10 at one end, the lead wire (2) extends to the outside of the shell 1 through the through hole 10, and the special-shaped center cavity 12 can be circular, square, etc.

[0043] The size, shape and thickness of the cover plate 5 in the thermal fuse vary according to the shape of the shell 1, and the cover plate 5 is installed from both ends of the shell 1 or sequentially from the right end of the shell 1.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] The bimetallic cover is installed from both ends of the housing:

[0046] Before assembling the fusible link, different types of molds are selected according to the environment and installation dimensions of the fusible link. A central cavity 7 is stamped out inside the housing 1, and a right-end sealing cavity 8 and a left-end sealing cavity 11 are stamped out at both ends of the housing 1. The inner diameters of the right-end sealing cavity 8 and the left-end sealing cavity 11 are larger than the inner diameter of the central cavity 7, forming bosses at both ends of the central cavity 7. Before welding the two leads 2 to the heating element 3, one end of the two leads 2 is struck or stamped into a flat shape, and then welded to the heating element 3. After welding, flux 4 is applied to the outside of the heating element 3. The heating element 3 coated with flux 4 and the leads 2 are fed into the central cavity 7 through the right-end sealing cavity 8, and the other end of the leads 2 passes out from the left-end sealing cavity 11. Two cover plates 5 are respectively fitted onto the bosses at both ends of the central cavity 7 from the left and right leads 2 to prevent the heating element 3 installed in the central cavity 7 from moving. Finally, the prepared epoxy resin adhesive 6 is injected into the right end sealing cavity 8 and the left end sealing cavity 11 at both ends of the housing 1 to seal the installed lead wire 2.

[0047] When a circuit malfunction causes a rapid rise in the surface temperature of the heating plate, the temperature of the thermal fuse, which is in direct contact with the outer surface of the heating plate, also rises. It transfers the absorbed heat to the heating element 3. When the temperature of the heating element 3 reaches its rated operating temperature, it melts rapidly with the help of the molten flux 4. The housing 1 utilizes the rapid heat absorption properties of its metal cover 5 to prevent the high-temperature flame generated by the thermal fuse 3 at the moment of melting from directly burning the epoxy resin adhesive 6. This avoids the situation where the epoxy resin adhesive 6, after being burned by the high-temperature flame, cannot prevent the molten heating element 3 from overflowing along the leads, thus achieving the purpose of circuit safety protection.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The bimetallic cover is installed from the right end of the housing:

[0050] Before assembling the thermal fuse, different types of molds are selected according to the environment and installation dimensions of the thermal fuse. A shaped central cavity 12 is stamped out inside the housing 1. Then, a right end sealing cavity 8 is stamped out at the right end of the housing 1, and a left end sealing cavity 11 is stamped out at the left end. The inner diameter of the right end sealing cavity 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the shaped central cavity 12, and the inner diameter of the left end sealing cavity 11 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 10. The diameter of the through hole 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the shaped central cavity 12. Bosses are formed at both ends of the shaped central cavity 12. Before welding the two leads 2 to the heating element 3, one end of each lead 2 is struck or stamped into a flat shape before welding to the heating element 3. Then, flux 4 is applied to the outside of the welded heating element 3. Two cover plates 5 are inserted onto both sides of the heating element 3 from the left and right leads 2 respectively. Finally, the heat element 3 coated with flux 4, the leads 2, and the cover plates 5 are fed into the irregularly shaped central cavity 12 through the right-end sealing cavity 8. The two cover plates 5 are installed on the boss, and the other end of the leads 2 passes through the left-end sealing cavity 11. This prevents the heating element 3 inside the irregularly shaped central cavity 12 from moving. Finally, prepared epoxy resin 6 is injected into the right-end sealing cavity 8 and the left-end sealing cavity 11 at both ends of the housing 1 to seal the installed leads 2.

[0051] When a circuit malfunction causes a rapid rise in the surface temperature of the heating plate, the temperature of the thermal fuse, which is in direct contact with the outer surface of the heating plate, also rises. It transfers the absorbed heat to the heating element 3. When the temperature of the heating element 3 reaches its rated operating temperature, it melts rapidly with the help of the molten flux 4. The housing 1 utilizes the rapid heat absorption properties of its metal cover 5 to prevent the high-temperature flame generated by the thermal fuse 3 at the moment of melting from directly burning the epoxy resin adhesive 6. This avoids the situation where the epoxy resin adhesive 6, after being burned by the high-temperature flame, cannot prevent the molten heating element 3 from overflowing along the leads, thus achieving the purpose of circuit safety protection.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] Single metal cover installation status:

[0054] Before assembling the thermal fuse, different types of molds are selected according to the environment and installation dimensions of the thermal fuse. A shaped central cavity 12 is stamped out inside the housing 1. A right-end sealing cavity 8 is stamped out at the right end of the housing 1, and a left-end sealing cavity 11 is stamped out at the left end. The inner diameter of the right-end sealing cavity 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the shaped central cavity 12, and the inner diameter of the left-end sealing cavity 11 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 10. The diameter of the through hole 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the shaped central cavity 12. Bosses are formed at both ends of the shaped central cavity 12, and a through hole 10 is opened at the left end of the shaped central cavity 12. Before welding the two leads 2 to the heating element 3, one end of each lead 2 is struck or stamped into a flat shape before welding to the heating element 3. Then, flux 4 is applied to the outside of the welded heating element 3. The flux-coated heating element 3 is then fed into the irregularly shaped central cavity 12 through the right-end sealing cavity 8. The other end of the lead 2 passes through the through hole 10 from the left-end sealing cavity 11. A cover plate 5 is installed from the right end of the housing 1 along the lead 2 through the right-end sealing cavity 8 on the boss at the right end of the irregularly shaped central cavity 12, preventing the heating element 3 inside the irregularly shaped central cavity 12 from moving. Finally, prepared epoxy resin 6 is injected into the right-end sealing cavities 8 and left-end sealing cavities 11 at both ends of the housing 1 to seal the installed lead 2.

[0055] When a circuit malfunction causes a rapid rise in the surface temperature of the heating plate, the temperature of the thermal fuse, which is in direct contact with the outer surface of the heating plate, also rises. It then conducts the absorbed heat to the heating element 3. Once the temperature of the heating element 3 reaches its rated operating temperature, it melts rapidly with the help of the molten flux 4. The housing 1 utilizes the rapid heat absorption properties of the metal cover 5 and the protrusion at the left end of the irregularly shaped central cavity 12 to prevent the high-temperature flame generated by the heating element 3 at the moment of melting from directly burning the epoxy resin adhesive 6. This avoids the situation where the epoxy resin adhesive 6 is burned by the high-temperature flame, preventing the melted heating element 3 from overflowing along the leads, thus achieving the purpose of circuit safety protection.
