[0030] Specific embodiment 1 of the fuse provided by the present application:

[0031] A fuse, comprising a base 1 and a mounting cover 23.

[0032] Referring to Figs. 1 to 5, Figure 1 and Figs. 6 to 8, Figure 2 and in combination with Figs. 1 to 5, Figure 3 the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a clamping groove 2 for mounting the base 1 to a guide rail and a clamping element 3 for clamping the guide rail, the structure of the clamping element 3 is shown in Fig. 5. Figure 8 The clamping element 3 is a prior art, and will not be described here in detail. In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the fuse at a position without a guide rail, bolt holes 4 for mounting bolts are also provided at the four corners of the base 1.

[0033] The base 1 is provided with a mounting groove 5, and two wiring elements 6 are arranged along the length direction of the base 1 on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5. A wiring hole 7 is formed through the wiring element 6 for the wire to pass in, and the extension direction of the wiring hole 7 is the same as the length direction of the mounting seat. A fixing hole 8 is formed in the side wall of the wiring element 6 close to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5 and communicates with the wiring hole 7, the fixing hole 8 is a light hole, and a threaded hole is formed in the corresponding position of the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5, a fixing bolt is arranged in the fixing hole 8, the fixing bolt passes through the fixing hole 8 and is screwed with the threaded hole on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5, so that the wiring element 6 can be fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5.

[0034] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 A connecting hole 9 is formed in the side wall of the wiring element 6 away from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5, the connecting hole 9 is a threaded hole, and the connecting hole 9 is coaxially arranged with the fixing hole 8 to facilitate the installation of the fixing bolt. A conductive part 10 is arranged on the side of the wiring element 6 away from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5, referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 5 The conductive part 10 is in a U-shaped structure as a whole, a through hole 11 is formed in the middle of the conductive part 10, a connecting bolt is arranged in the through hole 11, the connecting bolt passes through the through hole 11 and is screwed with the connecting hole 9, so that the conductive part 10 can be fixedly installed on the wiring element 6, and at the same time, the conductive part 10 is electrically connected with the wiring element 6.

[0035] The two side walls in the length direction of the base 1 are wiring side walls, and an operation hole 12 is formed in each of the wiring side walls, the operation hole 12 corresponds to the wiring hole 7, and the wire can pass through the operation hole 12 from the outside of the base 1 and enter the wiring hole 7. An inclined surface 13 is arranged between the side wall of the wiring element 6 facing the wiring side wall and the side wall of the wiring element 6 away from the bottom wall of the mounting groove 5, a threaded mounting hole 14 is vertically formed on the inclined surface 13, and the threaded mounting hole 14 extends obliquely from the inclined surface 13 to the wiring hole 7. A wiring bolt 15 is arranged in the threaded mounting hole 14, the height of the operation hole 12 meets the requirement that the wiring bolt 15 is installed in the threaded mounting hole 14 from the operation hole 12, and a screwdriver can be inserted into the operation hole 12 to rotate the wiring bolt 15. The wiring bolt 15 can enter the wiring hole 7 and press the wire, and the oblique arrangement of the wiring bolt 15 can avoid the conductive part 10 installed on the wiring element 6, which is convenient for operation and can also improve the anti-withdrawal ability of the wiring bolt 15 to the wire. The inclined surface 13 is arranged to facilitate the machining of the inclined threaded mounting hole 14, so in other embodiments, the inclined surface 13 can not be arranged.

[0036] Referring to the accompanying drawings Figure 6The inner side of the mounting cover 23 is provided with a core mounting structure for mounting the core 25, which includes two mounting rings 16, the core 25 is arranged in the mounting rings 16, and the inner side of the mounting cover 23 is further provided with a stop block 17 for axially limiting the core 25. After the mounting cover 23 is buckled to the base 1, the core 25 can be mounted into the mounting groove 5, and the metal parts at both ends of the core 25 are in contact with and conductive to the two conductive parts 10, respectively. The two side walls of the base 1 in the length direction are both provided with an embedded groove 17 for embedding the two ends of the mounting cover 13 in the length direction, so that the mounting cover 23 will not protrude from the base 1 after being buckled to the base 1, and the bottom wall of the embedded groove 17 can also play a positioning role on the mounting cover 13. In other embodiments, the embedded groove 17 can also not be provided, and in this embodiment, the mounting cover 23 is buckled to the base 1 and directly embedded into the mounting groove 5.

[0037] The two sides of the mounting cover 23 in the width direction are both provided with a connecting rod 18, as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 7 The two ends of the connecting rod 18 are both provided with a hinge column 19, one of which is located on the side of the connecting rod 18 facing the mounting cover 23, and the other is located on the side of the connecting rod 18 away from the mounting cover 23. The middle part of the mounting cover 23 is provided with a first hinge hole 21 for hinge cooperation with one of the hinge columns 19 on the connecting rod 18, and the side wall of the mounting groove 5 in the width direction is provided with two second hinge holes 22 arranged along the length direction of the base 1, which are located close to the end of the base 1. In use, the hinge column 19 at the end of the connecting rod 18 away from the mounting cover 23 is hingedly connected with one of the second hinge holes 22 on the corresponding side. Two second hinge holes 22 on each side are provided to facilitate the installation of the mounting cover 23 in the front and back directions. The hinge column 19 and the first hinge hole 21 or the second hinge hole 22 are in interference fit, and the hinge column 19 is provided with a "cross" groove 20 along its axial direction, so that the hinge column 19 has good radial elasticity, thereby ensuring that the hinge column 19 can rotate relative to the first hinge hole 21 or the second hinge hole 22, and can also remain stable after rotating by a certain angle.

[0038] The mounting cover 23 has a buckling position buckled on the mounting seat and an open position after being opened. During the process from the buckling position to the open position of the mounting cover 23, the mounting cover 23 will rotate relative to the connecting rod 18, and at the same time the connecting rod 18 will rotate relative to the base 1, so that the distance between the mounting cover 23 and the base 1 is larger at the open position, which is convenient for dismounting or mounting the core 25. The two sides of the mounting cover 23 in the width direction are provided with a concave avoiding groove 26, the first hinge hole 21 is arranged at the avoiding groove 26, and the size of the connecting rod in the width direction of the mounting cover 23 is equal to the groove depth of the avoiding groove 26. When the mounting cover 23 is in the buckling position, the connecting rod 18 enters the avoiding groove 26.

[0039] When the fuse is installed with the mouth of the installation slot 5 facing upwards, if the installation cover 23 is in the open position, one end of the installation cover 23 in the length direction will be inclined downwards, so in order to prevent the fuse core 25 from falling off, the stopper 17 is arranged at the lower end of the installation cover 23 when it is in the open position.

[0040] A handle 24 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the installation cover 23, which facilitates the operator to fasten or open the installation cover 23.

[0041] In the fuse, since the conducting member 10 and the wiring element 6 are not arranged in sequence along the length direction of the base 1, but the conducting member 10 is fixedly installed on the side of the wiring element 6 away from the bottom wall of the installation slot 5, the length dimension of the base 1 can be reduced, which facilitates installation and use in an environment with limited space.

[0042] In other embodiments, the connecting rod can also have other installation forms. For example, in one embodiment, the first hinge hole can also be arranged at a position close to the end of the installation cover, and the second hinge hole is arranged on one side wall of the base in the width direction and is located at a middle position of the side wall. In another embodiment, the two ends of the connecting rod are provided with pin holes, and the installation cover and the base are provided with pin columns for hinge cooperation with the pin holes.

[0043] In the present embodiment, the connecting rod is arranged in order to facilitate the opening and closing of the installation cover when the fuse is installed in a limited space, and also to facilitate the installation and removal of the fuse core. In other embodiments, the connecting rod can also not be arranged, in which case the installation cover can be directly hinged to the base; or the installation cover and the base are separated, and the installation cover is fastened on the base by plugging.

[0044] In other embodiments, the wiring element can also have other forms. In one embodiment, the wiring element can not be provided with a connecting hole, and the conducting member is directly welded and fixed to the wiring element. In order to facilitate the fixing of the wiring element on the base, the fixing hole in this embodiment is a threaded hole, and the base is provided with a light hole at the corresponding position. A bolt is passed through the light hole from the outside of the base and is screwed into the fixing hole, thereby completing the fixing of the wiring element. In another embodiment, the threaded installation hole can also be arranged on the side of the wiring element away from the bottom wall of the installation slot and vertically arranged. In this embodiment, the conducting member can be arranged side by side with the wiring element in the width direction of the base. This embodiment will make the width dimension of the fuse larger, but the length dimension of the fuse will be smaller.

[0045] In other embodiments, the wiring element can also be a plug-in type terminal, in which case the conducting wire can not be fixed by a wiring bolt, so the wiring bolt can not be arranged.

[0046] In this embodiment, the plurality of fuses can be used jointly in parallel along the width direction thereof. When one fuse is used alone, a threaded mounting hole for mounting a wiring bolt can be provided on a side wall of the base in the width direction of the base, and in this embodiment, a hole is also required to be opened in the side wall of the base in the width direction to facilitate mounting and rotation of the wiring bolt.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only for the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will still be able to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative labor, or make equivalent replacements to some of the technical features. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
