Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of resistive devices, and more specifically to a resistor and its processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] In electronic circuits, resistors are key components for current regulation and voltage division. Graphite-based resistors, due to their low cost and high-temperature resistance, are widely used in simple circuits and high-power applications. However, existing graphite-based resistors suffer from two major problems in practical use: First, the flexibility of resistance adjustment is insufficient. Traditional graphite resistors are mostly designed with fixed resistance values, predetermined by the length and cross-sectional area of ​​the graphite rod, making on-site adjustment impossible according to circuit requirements. While some adjustable resistors adjust resistance by changing the length of the graphite rod through sliding contacts, the contact position between the contacts and the graphite rod is easily affected by vibration and temperature changes, leading to resistance fluctuations and failing to meet the stability requirements of precision circuits. Second, the connection stability between the graphite rod and conductive metal components is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a resistor and its processing technology, which has the advantages of allowing adjustment of the resistance value and ensuring a stable connection between the graphite rod and the conductive metal parts.

[0009] A protrusion is fixed on the L-shaped frame, and a second compression spring is fixed on the protrusion. The other end of the second compression spring is fixed to the outside of the slide plate.

[0010] The outer end of the terminal block is provided with a wire hole, and a fastening bolt two is threadedly connected to the terminal block, with the end of the fastening bolt two inserted into the wire hole.

[0011] A threaded post is fixed to the lower side of the circular base. The middle part of the rotating plate is inserted into the threaded post. A nut is connected to the threaded post by thread. The nut presses on the lower side of the rotating plate. Hollow rods are fixed to both ends of the lower side of the rotating plate. Two solid rods are fixed on the base frame. The two solid rods are slidably connected to the two hollow rods respectively. The lower end of each hollow rod is connected to a fastening bolt three by thread.

[0012] It also includes an outer cover, which covers the outside of the graphite rod and avoids multiple annular grooves. A sliding sleeve is provided in the middle of the upper side of the outer cover. The sliding sleeve is inserted into the upper part of the square rod. Four fastening bolts are threadedly connected to the sliding sleeve and press the four fastening bolts on the square rod.

[0037] like Figure 4-7 As shown;

[0038] A resistor includes a graphite rod 101 with multiple annular grooves 103 on both its left and right sides. Two portal frames 201 are positioned to the left and right of each other. Each portal frame 201 has a sliding column 205 slidably connected to its front and rear ends. An arc rod 204 is fixed to the opposite end of each sliding column 205, and the two arc rods 204 are inserted into one of the annular grooves 103. The graphite rod 101 acts as a resistive element, and the multiple annular grooves 103 on its left and right sides are used to change the length of the graphite rod 101 connected to the circuit. By inserting the arc rods 204 into different annular grooves 103, the effective length of the graphite rod 101 between the two portal frames 201 can be adjusted, thereby changing the resistance value. The sliding connection between the sliding column 205 and the portal frame 201 ensures that the arc rod 204 can be stably inserted into the annular groove 103, achieving reliable contact with the graphite rod 101 and providing a path for current conduction.

[0039] like Figure 6-7 As shown;

[0040] Because a stop pin 206 is fixed to the outer end of the sliding column 205, and a compression spring 207 is fixed to the outer side of each arc rod 204, with the outer end of the compression spring 207 fixed to the corresponding portal frame 201, the stop pin 206 prevents the sliding column 205 from slipping out of the portal frame 201, ensuring structural integrity. The compression spring 207 always applies an inward elastic force to the arc rod 204, making the arc rod 204 tightly fit against the inner wall of the annular groove 103, avoiding loosening of contact due to vibration or other factors, ensuring stable electrical conductivity between the graphite rod 101 and the arc rod 204, and reducing contact resistance fluctuations.

[0041] like Figure 6-7 As shown;

[0042] Because an L-shaped frame 301 is fixed to the outside of the portal frame 201, and a terminal block 305 is fixed to the outer end of the L-shaped frame 301, the L-shaped frame 301 serves to connect the portal frame 201 and the terminal block 305, forming an intermediate path for current conduction. The terminal block 305 is used to connect external circuit wires, allowing the current conducted by the graphite rod 101 through the arc rod 204, portal frame 201, and L-shaped frame 301 to be introduced into or led out of the circuit, thus realizing the electrical connection between the resistor and the external circuit.

[0043] like Figure 4-9 As shown;

[0044] Because the graphite rod 101 has a vertical square hole 102 in the middle, the square rod 402 is inserted into the square hole 102. The lower end of the square rod 402 is fixed with a round seat 401. The left and right sides of the round seat 401 are both fixed with crossbars 404. The lower sides of the two portal frames 201 are both fixed with protrusions 202. The two protrusions 202 are slidably connected to the two crossbars 404 respectively. The protrusions 202 are connected with fastening bolts 203 by threads. The fastening bolts 203 press on the crossbars 404. The outer ends of the two crossbars 404 are both fixed with stop pins 403. The square rod 402 is inserted into the square hole 102 of the graphite rod 101 to achieve vertical positioning of the graphite rod 101 and prevent it from rotating. The round base 401 provides sliding support for the portal frame 201 via the crossbar 404. The protrusion 202 slides on the crossbar 404, which can drive the portal frame 201 and the arc rod 204 to move left and right, making it easy to select different annular grooves 103 to adjust the resistance. After tightening the first fastening bolt 203, the position of the protrusion 202 can be fixed, so that the arc rod 204 is stably in the selected annular groove 103; the second stop pin 403 prevents the protrusion 202 from slipping off the end of the crossbar 404.

[0045] like Figure 4-7 As shown;

[0046] Since the graphite rod 101 has a central hole 104 on both its left and right sides, the lower ends of the two sliders 308 are slidably connected to the two L-shaped frames 301, and the upper ends of the two sliders 308 are fixed with round rods 307, which are inserted into the two central holes 104 respectively. The round rods 307 are inserted into the central holes 104 of the graphite rod 101 and cooperate with the arc rod 204 to contact the graphite rod 101 from different positions, further enhancing the connection stability between the graphite rod 101 and the conductive component. The sliders 308 slide on the L-shaped frames 301, which can adapt to the left and right movement of the portal frame 201, ensuring that the round rods 307 always maintain cooperation with the central holes 104, helping to maintain the positional stability of the graphite rod 101 and reducing its deformation under stress.

[0047] like Figure 6-7 As shown;

[0048] Since a protrusion 302 is fixed on the L-shaped frame 301, and a compression spring 306 is fixed on the protrusion 302, with the other end of the compression spring 306 fixed to the outside of the slider 308; the compression spring 306 applies an inward elastic force to the slider 308, causing the round rod 307 to be tightly inserted into the center hole 104, preventing gaps between the round rod 307 and the center hole 104, and at the same time providing elastic buffer for the slider 308 when the portal frame 201 moves, ensuring that the round rod 307 adjusts its position synchronously with the portal frame 201 and maintains stable contact.

[0049] like Figure 6-7 As shown;

[0050] Since the outer end of the terminal 305 is provided with a wire hole 303, and a fastening bolt 304 is threadedly connected to the terminal 305, the end of the fastening bolt 304 is inserted into the wire hole 303; the wire hole 303 is used to insert an external wire, and after the fastening bolt 304 is tightened, the wire can be pressed into the wire hole 303, so as to realize a reliable connection between the wire and the terminal 305, avoid poor contact caused by loose wire, and ensure the stability of the current conduction path.

[0051] like Figure 8-10 As shown;

[0052] A threaded post 406 is fixed to the lower side of the circular base 401. The middle part of the rotating plate 505 is inserted into the threaded post 406. A nut 405 is threadedly connected to the threaded post 406, pressing against the lower side of the rotating plate 505. Hollow rods 504 are fixed to both ends of the lower side of the rotating plate 505. Two solid rods 503 are fixed on the base frame 501, and the two solid rods 503 are slidably connected to the two hollow rods 504 respectively. The lower end of each hollow rod 504 is threadedly connected to a fastening bolt 502, which presses against the two solid rods 503 respectively. Multiple screw holes are evenly distributed on the base frame 501. The threaded post 406 and the nut 405 cooperate to fix the angle of the rotating plate 505, realizing the overall rotation adjustment of the resistor. The sliding cooperation between the hollow rod 504 and the solid rod 503 can adjust the height of the resistor, and the fastening bolts 502 are used to lock the height position. The base frame 501 is fixed to the mounting surface by screw holes, providing stable support for the entire resistor and ensuring its position is fixed during operation.

[0053] like Figure 11-12 As shown;

[0054] Since the resistor also includes an outer cover 601, which covers the outside of the graphite rod 101 and avoids multiple annular grooves 103, a sliding sleeve 602 is provided in the upper middle part of the outer cover 601. The sliding sleeve 602 is inserted into the upper part of the square rod 402, and a fastening bolt 603 is threadedly connected to the sliding sleeve 602, pressing the fastening bolt 603 onto the square rod 402. The outer cover 601 can prevent dust, impurities, etc. from entering the surface of the graphite rod 101, protecting the graphite rod 101 from external environmental corrosion, and preventing accidental contact by personnel. The sliding sleeve 602 cooperates with the square rod 402 to position the outer cover 601, and the fastening bolt 603 can fix the position of the outer cover 601. Since the outer cover 601 avoids the annular grooves 103, it does not affect the selection and contact of the arc rod 204 with the annular grooves 103, ensuring that the resistance adjustment function is realized normally.

[0055] A resistor manufacturing process includes the following steps:

[0056] S1: Part prefabrication: Graphite rod machining: turning annular grooves, square holes and center holes; Metal parts: stamping or cutting gate brackets, L-shaped brackets, tapping terminal blocks;

[0057] S2: Assembling conductive components: The arc rod and the portal frame are connected by a sliding column and a spring, and inserted into the annular groove of the graphite rod; the slider is fixed to the round rod, inserted into the center hole of the graphite rod, and connected to the spring and the L-shaped frame;

[0059] S4: Base and outer cover assembly: Install the rotating plate, hollow rod and base frame under the round base, and lock them after adjusting the height; the outer cover is put on the graphite rod and fixed on the square rod.
