The advantage of adopting this technical solution is that the threaded joint 4 is divided into two connection portions and integrally formed on the base 1 and the upper cover 2, and is synchronously installed with the base and the upper cover. The overall structure is simple, the installation process is simplified, the installation is more convenient, the installation efficiency is improved, and it is suitable for the mass automated production requirements of this product. At the same time, it also saves materials, facilitates inventory management and production management, reduces production costs, and enhances market competitiveness.
[0035] Further preferably, Figure 1-3As shown, a first conductive plate 5 and a second conductive plate 6 are arranged between the base 1 and the upper cover 2, a bimetallic strip 7 connected to the second conductive plate 6 is fixedly arranged on the first conductive plate 5, the bimetallic strip 7 has a fixed end fixedly connected to the first conductive plate 5, and a free end extending to the second conductive plate 6, the free end bends toward the back of the second conductive plate 6 when the bimetallic strip 7 is overloaded and heated, wherein one end of the first conductive plate 5 and the second conductive plate 6 are accommodated between the base and the upper cover, and the other ends of the first conductive plate 5 and the second conductive plate 6 are respectively extended out of the base and the upper cover, and the first conductive plate 5 and the second conductive plate 6 are respectively installed between the base 1 and the upper cover 2 through a positioning structure, and the positioning structure includes: a fixed end arranged at the bottom The base 1 includes two positioning grooves suitable for installing the first conductive plate 5 and the second conductive plate 6, two positioning columns 12 arranged in the two positioning grooves, and positioning holes respectively arranged on the first conductive plate 5 and the second conductive plate 6 and suitable for the positioning columns 12 to pass through. In addition, it also includes a positioning hook 13 arranged on the base 1 and cooperating with the second conductive plate 6 to be clamped at one end, and at least one positioning boss 22 arranged on the inner surface of the upper cover 2 and located above the first conductive plate 5. When the upper cover 2 is installed on the base 1, the positioning boss 22 is driven to press against the first conductive plate 5, or the positioning boss 22 is pressed against the fixed end of the bimetallic strip 7, which can also play a role in positioning and installing the first conductive plate.
[0036] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned positioning structure is that the first conductive plate 5 and the second conductive plate 6 are pre-positioned and installed in the two positioning grooves of the base 1 respectively through the cooperation of the positioning column 12 and the positioning hole, and then the positioning hook 13 is clamped on one end of the second conductive plate 6, so as to play a multi-point positioning role for the second conductive plate 6, and the upper cover 2 is pressed on the first conductive plate 5 through the positioning boss 22 during installation, which also plays a multi-point positioning role for the first conductive plate, thereby preventing the first conductive plate 5 and the second conductive plate 6 from displacement and shaking during the installation process, and playing a positioning and installation role for the two conductive plates between the base and the cover plate. The entire installation process does not require the use of fasteners such as rivets, the installation structure is simple, and the installation positioning is more accurate, which is conducive to improving the installation efficiency. In this way, the installed products have better consistency, and the product quality and working performance are improved.
[0037] like Figure 2-3As shown, a moving contact 71 is provided on the free end of the bimetallic strip 7, and a static contact 61 is correspondingly provided on the second conductive plate 6. The elastic button 3 has an isolating sheet 30 extending between the bimetallic strip 7 and the second conductive plate 6. When the overload protection is working normally, since the moving contact 71 and the static contact 61 are in closed contact, the isolating sheet 30 is blocked and located outside the moving contact and the static contact. Therefore, when the bimetallic strip 7 is heated and bent back to the first conductive plate 5, the elastic button 3 drives the isolating sheet 30 to block between the moving and static contacts. In this way, the moving and static contacts are insulated and separated to prevent the moving and static contacts from contacting again when the line fault is not cleared. Only after the elastic button 3 drives the isolating sheet 30 to reset, can the moving and static contacts be closed again.

This structural setting plays a positioning and connecting role for the button spring 32 through the positioning recessed hole 33, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation position of the button spring 32. When the bimetallic strip 7 is bent by heat, the button rod 31 drives the isolation strip 30 to move and be inserted between the moving and static contacts under the elastic force of the button spring 32, thereby insulating and isolating the moving and static contacts to play an overload protection role.
[0040] As a specific structural setting, the button rod 31 includes a round rod portion 331 inserted into the circular sliding hole, a square rod portion 332 connected to the round rod portion 331, and an isolation sheet 30 extending from the side of the square rod portion 332 to the side of the second conductive plate 6. A first limiting boss 34 is provided at the bottom of the square rod portion 332, and a second limiting boss 14 opposite to the first limiting boss 34 is provided between the guide slide groove 8 and the circular sliding hole 81. The positioning recessed hole 33 is provided on one end of the square rod portion 332 away from the round rod portion 331. This structural setting, through the limiting cooperation formed by the first limiting step and the second limiting step, is used to limit the distance that the button rod 31 slides along the guide slide groove under the action of the button spring 32.

In this structural setting, the base 1 and the upper cover 2 are first positioned and connected by cooperating with the fixing shafts 91 and the fixing holes 92, and then the fixing shafts are melted and the holes are filled by hot riveting. During the cooling process, the base 1 and the upper cover 2 are firmly connected, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the base and the upper cover.
[0044] As a first alternative, the fixing structure can be in the form of a snap-on structure, specifically, the fixing structure includes a snap-on structure arranged between the base 1 and the upper cover 2, and the snap-on structure includes: a plurality of snap-on bosses 93 arranged on the side walls of the base 1 and / or the upper cover 2, and a plurality of elastic buckle plates 94 correspondingly arranged on the side walls of the base 1 and / or the upper cover 2 and forming a snap-on fit with the plurality of snap-on bosses 93, the elastic buckle plates 94 are provided with snap-on grooves snap-on to the snap-on bosses 93, it can be seen that the snap-on bosses 93 and the elastic buckle plates 94 can be arranged on the base 1 and the upper cover 2 respectively, such an installation arrangement can also realize a fixed connection between the base 1 and the upper cover 2, and the entire installation process does not require the use of fasteners such as rivets and screws, which is conducive to improving the installation efficiency.
