DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0036] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, the directional words used, such as "inside" and "outside", refer to the contours of the corresponding parts themselves. In addition, F in the figure expresses the force, that is, the force acting on the fracture bending of the body. The terms "first", "second", etc. used in the present disclosure are to distinguish one element from another element and have no order or importance. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0037] In excitation fuses, pyrotechnic circuit breakers and quick disconnect devices, there are usually conductive plates. When an accident occurs, the conductive plates can be quickly cut off to disconnect the circuit, reducing or avoiding the occurrence of subsequent disasters. Therefore, when designing the conductive plates, it should be ensured that they are easy to cut off quickly.

[0038] In the related art, the conductive plate is installed in the moving direction of the power device, which can realize the cutting function under the impact of the power device. However, the above technology has the following disadvantages.

[0039] First, after the conductive plate is broken by impact, part of the impact energy of the impact head is transferred to the broken curved part, which continues to move in the impact direction and is likely to cause damage to other structures on the forward route.

[0040] Second, in order to ensure a high cutting speed, a large impact energy is sometimes used, which may cause the broken and bent part of the conductive plate to be completely separated from the conductive plate body, accompanied by the generation of conductive debris, which may affect the normal operation of other nearby devices.

[0041] The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a conductive plate, a fuse, an electrical device and a vehicle, wherein the conductive plate can prevent the broken curved portion 111 from being completely separated from the body 110 due to excessive deformation, thereby protecting other nearby structures or devices.

[0042] In order to achieve the above purpose, Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a conductive plate, which includes a body 110 and a buffer structure 120. The body 110 includes a broken curved portion 111; the buffer structure 120 is connected to the body 110, and the buffer structure 120 is located on one side of the broken curved portion 111 and is spaced apart from the broken curved portion 111, so as to at least partially abut against the broken curved portion 111 when the broken curved portion 111 is disconnected.

[0043] Through the above technical solution, the conductive plate includes a main body 110 having a broken bend 111 and a buffer structure 120 connected to the main body 110 and arranged on one side of the deformation direction of the broken bend 111 (the opposite side of the impact force). The buffer structure 120 can at least partially abut against the broken bend 111 when the broken bend 111 is broken, absorb the impact energy carried by the broken bend 111, and prevent the broken bend 111 from acting on other components due to excessive deformation, or completely separating from the main body 110, thereby protecting other nearby structures or devices.

[0044] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the deformation direction in this embodiment refers to the left side of the body 110 , and the force direction refers to the right side of the body 110 .

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the body 110 further includes a first connecting segment 112 and a second connecting segment 113 respectively connected to both ends of the broken curved portion 111; and the buffer structure 120 is connected to the first connecting segment 112 and / or the second connecting segment 113. The first connecting segment 112 is connected to one end of the broken curved portion 111, and the second connecting segment 113 is connected to the other end of the broken curved portion 111. The buffer structure 120 can be arranged on the first connecting segment 112 or the second connecting portion, and can support the broken curved portion 111 on the back side of the force direction of the broken curved portion 111 after breaking, so as to prevent it from affecting other components.

[0046] In addition, it should be noted that the buffer structure 120 can also be arranged on the first connecting section 112 and the second connecting section 113 at the same time, but it should be noted that the buffer structure 120 cannot affect the fracture of the fractured curved portion 111 .

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the buffer structure 120 is connected to the first connecting section 112, and a bending section 111a is formed at the junction of the first connecting section 112 and the broken bending section 111; a breaking section 111b is formed between the second connecting section 113 and the broken bending section 111. The setting of the bending section 111a enables the broken bending section 111 to be bent and deformed preferentially at this position, and the setting of the breaking section 111b enables the broken bending section 111 to be disconnected preferentially at this position, thereby better realizing power off. Therefore, due to the setting of the bending section 111a and the breaking section 111b, when the broken bending section 111 is subjected to force, the broken bending section 111 can be disconnected at the breaking section 111b, and bend in the deformation direction at the bending section 111a, thereby preventing the broken bending section 111 of the conductive plate from being completely separated from the body 110 due to excessive deformation, thereby protecting other nearby structures or devices.

[0048] In addition, since the buffer structure 120 and the first connecting section 112 are on the same side, after the conductive plate is cut off, the buffer structure 120 is fixedly connected to a portion of the broken bent portion 111 (the first connecting section 112), and the contact between the broken bent portion 111 and the buffer structure 120 will not cause an arc, thereby improving safety performance.

[0049] The bending portion 111a and the breaking portion 111b may be constructed in any suitable structure. Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the curved portion 111a includes a first notch 1101 located at the junction of the first connecting section 112 and the broken curved portion 111; the broken portion 111b includes a second notch 1102 located at the junction of the second connecting section 113 and the broken curved portion 111. The first notch 1101 and the second notch 1102 are used to reduce the strength of the corresponding positions, so that the broken curved portion 111 can be bent and broken better when subjected to force (such as being hit). The first notch 1101 and the second notch 1102 can both adopt any suitable shape, such as a V-shaped or U-shaped notch, so as to reduce the width of the conductive plate at the corresponding position and reduce the strength at that position.

[0050] In some embodiments, in order to directional breakage of the breaking portion 111b and bend the bending portion 111a, the width of the bending portion 111a is greater than the width of the breaking portion 111b, so that the bending portion 111a has greater strength and can bend without breaking, while the breaking portion 111b has less strength and breaks first.

[0051] The first notch 1101 and the second notch 1102 are used to reduce the strength of the corresponding positions to facilitate bending and breaking. Therefore, they can be set on the same side or opposite sides where the first connecting section 112 and the broken curved portion 111 and the second connecting section 113 and the broken curved portion 111 meet. In some embodiments, the first notch 1101 and the second notch 1102 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the width direction of the body 110. Figure 1 As shown, the first notch 1101 may be a V-shaped notch provided on the side of the conductive plate away from the buffer structure 120, and the second notch 1102 may be a V-shaped notch provided on the side of the conductive plate toward the buffer structure 120. It should be noted that the above-mentioned V-shaped and U-shaped notches are exemplary and may also be other shapes that can reduce strength, which are not specifically limited here.

[0052] In order to facilitate the breaking of the breaking portion 111b, and at the same time ensure that the position can have a certain width to meet the current flow requirements, such as Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, a third notch 1103 is formed at one end of the broken curved portion 111 close to the second notch 1102, and the third notch 1103 and the first notch 1101 are both located on the same side of the width direction of the body 110. The third notch 1103 can face the force direction of the broken curved portion 111, and can be located between the first notch 1101 and the second notch 1102 and closer to the second notch 1102. The third notch 1103 can form a relatively weak part in the direction of the punch of the impact device on the broken curved portion 111, which is convenient for deformation after force is applied, so that the portion between the third notch 1103 and the second notch 1102 can always be in contact with the punch, so that the force is always applied to the broken curved portion 111, thereby facilitating the breakage of the broken portion 111b.

[0053] In addition, the arrangement of the third notch 1103 can further reduce the strength of the fracture portion 111b, which is conducive to fracture when subjected to force; on the other hand, the fracture portion 111b can have a sufficient width to facilitate the flow of current. It is worth noting that the third notch 1103 can be constructed in any suitable structure, including but not limited to a V-shaped notch, a U-shaped notch, a semicircular notch, etc.

[0054] The buffer structure 120 can be constructed using any suitable structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer structure 120 is constructed as a protrusion 121 extending in a direction away from the first connecting section 112; the side of the broken curved portion 111 facing the protrusion 121 is constructed as a first arcuate surface 1111; the protrusion 121 is formed with a second arcuate surface 1211 corresponding to the first arcuate surface 1111. When the broken curved portion 111 is broken, the second arcuate surface 1211 can contact with the first arcuate surface 1111 to increase the contact area between the two, so that the buffer structure 120 can better support the broken curved portion 111. It should be noted that, the entire broken curved portion 111 is generally a semicircular structure, the first arcuate surface 1111 is a curved surface convex toward the buffer structure 120, and the second arcuate surface 1211 is a curved surface corresponding to the first arcuate surface 1111.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first curved surface 1111 and the second curved surface 1211 are located on two concentric circles with the same center, that is, the contour of the first curved surface 1111 and the contour of the second curved surface 1211 are located on two concentric circles, and the radius of the second curved surface 1211 is greater than the radius of the first curved surface 1111, so that when the broken bend 111 breaks, the first curved surface 1111 can be supported by the second curved surface 1211 of the buffer structure. Since they are both curved surfaces and are located on two concentric circles with the same center, they can have a larger support area.

[0056] The protrusion 121 may be in any suitable shape, such as Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the width of the protrusion 121 gradually decreases along the direction away from the first connecting section 112. Through the above arrangement, that is, the protrusion 121 extends from the end close to the first connecting section 112 to the second connecting section 113, and its width gradually decreases. In addition, the advantage of such an arrangement is that it can ensure that the buffer structure 120 can more stably support the broken curved section 111 when the broken curved section 111 is broken, so as to prevent it from being completely separated from the body 110. It should be noted that the width of the protrusion 121 refers to Figure 1 The left-right dimension of the raised portion 121.

[0057] In order to achieve the connection of the conductive plate, Figure 1 As shown, optionally, a first terminal 1104 is formed at one end of the first connecting section 112 and the second connecting section 113 away from the broken curved portion 111. That is, a first terminal 1104 is formed at one end of the first connecting section 112 away from the broken curved portion 111, and another first terminal 1104 is formed at one end of the second connecting section 113 away from the broken curved portion 111. The first terminal 1104 is used to connect the conductive plate to the circuit.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connection section 112 and the second connection section 113 are respectively formed with a second terminal 1105 at one end close to the broken curved portion 111. That is, the first connection section 112 is formed with a second terminal 1105 at one end close to the broken curved portion 111, and the second connection section 113 is formed with another second terminal 1105 at one end close to the broken curved portion 111 (for example, the side of the buffer structure 120), and the two second terminals 1105 can be connected by a conductive member or a fuse.

[0059] The first terminal 1104 and the second terminal 1105 may adopt related structures known in the related art. For example, the first terminal 1104 and the second terminal 1105 may be formed by setting mounting holes on the first connecting section 112 and the second connecting section 113 .

[0060] Optionally, the body 110 and the buffer structure 120 are integrally formed. The buffer structure 120 and the body 110 may be integrally formed, for example, by stamping, cutting, or casting, and the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.
