AI Technical Summary
In existing graphene fuse designs, the distance between the break points is too close, causing the electric arc to affect the circuit, which may lead to continuous combustion and secondary damage. Furthermore, there is a lack of intuitive fault observation methods, which delays fault handling time and reduces reliability and safety.
The design employs a combination of graphene sheets and shape memory alloy sheets. When the graphene sheet breaks during a short circuit, the shape memory alloy sheet deforms at high temperatures, causing the break point to move away. This increased distance is then used to display the fault through mechanical linkage. Combined with pneumatic drive and damping protection mechanisms, it provides intuitive fault indications.
It achieves fast and reliable short-circuit protection, enhances circuit safety and stability, provides intuitive fault display and operational safety, and extends equipment life.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fuses, in particular to a graphene material fuse. BACKGROUND
[0002] Graphene, as a new type of nanomaterial, has shown great application prospects in various fields such as electronics, energy, and materials due to its unique physical and chemical properties. In particular, in the field of electrical protection, the high electrical conductivity, high strength, and excellent thermal stability of graphene make it an ideal choice for fuse materials. Researchers have attempted to apply graphene to fuse design in order to improve the performance and reliability of circuit protection devices. By introducing graphene sheets, fuses can theoretically achieve faster thermal response and more efficient current interruption, providing a new technical path for circuit safety.
[0003] However, despite the great potential of graphene materials in fuse applications, existing graphene fuse designs still have some significant defects. First, the distance between the broken points of graphene sheets is too close, which makes it easy for electric arcs to affect them. Such close broken points not only fail to effectively isolate the circuit, but also may cause the continuous combustion of electric arcs, further damaging the internal structure of the fuse, and even causing fires and other serious consequences. In addition, due to the close distance between the broken points, the electric arc generated during a short circuit can cause secondary damage to the surrounding graphene material, reducing the overall reliability and service life of the fuse. Furthermore, the existing design lacks intuitive observation means when a short circuit occurs, and operators cannot quickly determine whether a short circuit has occurred, delaying fault handling time and increasing safety hazards. These defects limit the widespread application of graphene fuses and require further technical improvements and innovations. SUMMARY

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] This invention provides three technical solutions:
[0034] Example 1: As Figures 1-3 As shown, a graphene material fuse includes a plug-in shell 1, a housing 2 on one side of the plug-in shell 1, and positioning bolts 34 at both corners of one side of the plug-in shell 1. An opening groove 35 is provided on one side of the housing 2, and the opening groove 35 is closed by a cover plate 3. A fuse is provided inside the housing 2. The fuse includes an outer shell 4 installed inside the housing 2. Electrodes 5 are provided at both ends of the outer shell 4, and conductive sheets 6 are provided on the inner sides of both ends of the outer shell 4. The two conductive sheets 6 are electrically connected to the two electrodes 5 respectively, and a graphene sheet 7 is provided between the two conductive sheets 6. Shape memory alloy sheets 8 are provided on both sides of the graphene sheet 7. When a short circuit occurs in the circuit, the current passes through the graphene sheet 7, the temperature rises and it breaks, and the graphene sheet 7 conducts the temperature to the shape memory alloy sheets 8. The shape memory alloy sheets 8 keep the break points of the graphene sheet 7 far apart, preventing the electric arc from affecting the circuit.
[0035] like Figures 3-4As shown, the graphene sheet 7 includes a lower graphene sheet 9 and an upper graphene sheet 10, and a narrow contraction area 11 is arranged between opposite ends of the lower graphene sheet 9 and the upper graphene sheet 10. The cover plate 3 is opened, the fuse is installed into the shell 4, and the electrode 5 on the shell 4 is connected with the wire contact to facilitate the circuit connection. When the circuit is normal, the current is transmitted through the graphene sheet 7. When a short circuit occurs, the current will increase, and thus the temperature will increase. When the current passes through the graphene sheet 7, the temperature of the graphene sheet 7 will increase. The narrow contraction area 11 part of the graphene sheet 7 is relatively narrow, and thus the narrow contraction area 11 part will quickly break, so that the circuit is rapidly cut off.
[0036] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the memory alloy sheet 8 includes a heat conduction part 12 which is attached to one side of the graphene sheet 7 near the narrow contraction area 11. One end of the heat conduction part 12 is integrally formed with a deformation part 13, and the other end of the deformation part 13 is connected to the inner wall of the shell 4.
[0037] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the phase transition temperature of the deformation part 13 is 500 degrees. When the deformation part 13 does not reach the phase transition temperature, the deformation part 13 bends along the direction of the graphene sheet 7. When the deformation part 13 reaches the phase transition temperature, the deformation part 13 gradually straightens and approaches the inner wall of the shell 4.
[0038] In this embodiment, when the temperature of the graphene sheet 7 increases, the graphene sheet 7 will conduct the temperature to the heat conduction part 12 of the memory alloy sheet 8, the heat conduction part 12 will conduct the temperature to the deformation part 13, and then to the whole part of the memory alloy sheet 8. When the temperature of the memory alloy sheet 8 is higher than 500 degrees, the memory alloy sheet 8 reaches the phase transition temperature, so that the deformation part 13 gradually straightens and approaches the inner wall of the shell 4. Because the two memory alloy sheets 8 are arranged opposite to each other on the graphene sheet 7, the two memory alloy sheets 8 move away from each other, and thus the opposite ends of the lower graphene sheet 9 and the upper graphene sheet 10 are moved away from each other, increasing the distance of the breaking point and preventing the arc from affecting the circuit.
[0039] Further, as shown in Figure 3 The graphene sheet 7 is provided with insulating substrate plates 14 on both sides. The lower end of the insulating substrate plate 14 is connected to the conductive sheet 6, and the opposite end of the two insulating substrate plates 14 is arranged near the narrow contraction area 11. The insulating substrate plate 14 supports the graphene sheet 7, and has elasticity to facilitate the movement of the breaking point when the memory alloy sheet 8 deforms.

[0042] As shown in the drawings, the color of the normal display area 19 is green, which represents that the circuit is normal, and the color of the abnormal display area 20 is red, which represents that the circuit is abnormal. Figures 2-3 Figures 6-8 As shown in the drawings, the color of the normal display area 19 is green, which represents that the circuit is normal, and the color of the abnormal display area 20 is red, which represents that the circuit is abnormal.
[0043] In this embodiment, when the memory alloy sheet 8 drives the breaking part to approach the inner wall of the shell 4, the memory alloy sheet 8 drives the connecting rod 15 to move, and the connecting rod 15 drives the lower moving plate 16 to move downward, when the flange 21 on the lower moving plate 16 moves to the bottom of the guide groove 23, the abnormal display area 20 on the upper moving plate 18 corresponds to the observation port 22 on the shell 4, and the abnormal display area 20 on the upper moving plate 18 is red, so that the abnormal display area 20 can be observed through the observation port 22, so that the personnel can know that the short circuit occurs, when the short circuit does not occur, the memory alloy sheet 8 does not deform, at this time, the normal display area 19 on the lower moving plate 16 corresponds to the observation port 22, and the normal display area 19 on the lower moving plate 16 displays green, which represents that the circuit is normal.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the circuit occurs short circuit, the temperature will rise, the internal pressure of the shell 4 will increase, under the action of the internal and external pressure difference, the internal pressure of the shell 4 will enter the limiting cylinder 24 through the trumpet mouth 25, thereby pushing the piston plate 26, under the elasticity of the spring 29, the piston plate 26 drives the moving shaft 27 to move to the direction of the cover plate 3, so that the rubber block 28 at one end of the moving shaft 27 pushes the sealing plate 30 on the cover plate 3, so that the cover plate 3 is opened, and under the action of the damping rotating shaft 31, the cover plate 3 will be slowly opened, protecting the cover plate 3, so that when the personnel sees that the cover plate 3 is opened, it is immediately known that the circuit occurs abnormality.
