[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the thermal overload relay which is easy to maintain, when the two groups of trapezoidal blocks are squeezed, can drive the guide block to move, and the spring can be compressed while the trapezoidal blocks move, when the spring is compressed to a specified degree, the two groups of trapezoidal blocks can slide into the inside of the docking block through the through groove, the position of the locking screw can be adjusted according to actual conditions, so that the installation position of the thermal overload relay can be installed and fixed according to different conditions, and by adjusting the installation position of the locking screw, the installation position of the thermal overload relay is diversified, thereby improving its practicality.

[0012] 1. Thermal overload relays are usually used for motor overload protection. Thermal overload relays are relatively simple and convenient to use, but they are inconvenient to repair. When the two sets of trapezoidal blocks are squeezed, the guide blocks can be driven to move, and the springs can be compressed while the trapezoidal blocks move. When the springs are compressed to a specified degree, the two sets of trapezoidal blocks can slide into the docking blocks through the through slots. When the plug-in blocks move, the flexible plastic card blocks can be squeezed. At this time, the flexible plastic card blocks are bent by force. When the flexible plastic card blocks are bent to a specified degree, the plug-in blocks can slide out from the inside of the connecting blocks. At this time, the upper shell can be removed from the lower shell for repair work. This simple and convenient method allows the thermal overload relay to be quickly repaired without the use of tools.

[0013] 2. The installation position of the thermal overload relay is usually fixed, which makes it difficult to adjust the installation position of the thermal overload relay according to actual conditions, and its practicality is poor. When the mounting block moves, it can drive the slider and the locking screw to move. When the slider slides to the specified position, the knob can be rotated, and the end of the knob can squeeze and fix the slider through the slide groove. At this time, the mounting block can be installed in the specified position, and the locking screw can be fixed with a tool. The position of the locking screw can be adjusted according to actual conditions, so that the installation position of the thermal overload relay can be installed and fixed according to different situations. By adjusting the installation position of the locking screw, the installation position of the thermal overload relay is diversified, thereby improving its practicality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5It can be seen that the utility model provides a technical solution: a thermal overload relay that is easy to repair, comprising: an upper shell 1, a copper pin 2, a lower shell 3, a reset button 4, a wiring port 5, a switch contact 6 and a plug-in block 7, the top of the upper shell 1 is connected with a copper pin 2, the bottom of the upper shell 1 is provided with a lower shell 3, the front of the lower shell 3 is equipped with a reset button 4, the front of the lower shell 3 away from the reset button 4 is equipped with a wiring port 5, the front of the lower shell 3 close to the wiring port 5 is equipped with a switch contact 6, and the plug-in block 7 is fused to both sides of the upper shell 1, and both sides of the lower shell 3 are fused with connection Block 8, a flexible plastic card block 9 is welded inside the connecting block 8, fixed blocks 10 are welded on both sides of the lower shell 3, a through groove 11 is opened inside the fixed block 10, docking blocks 12 are welded on both sides of the upper shell 1 close to the fixed block 10, a spring 13 is connected inside the docking block 12, one end of the spring 13 is connected to a trapezoidal block 14, and the top of the trapezoidal block 14 is connected to a guide block 15, a snap-fit ​​structure is formed between the plug-in block 7 and the flexible plastic card block 9, a sliding structure is formed between the plug-in block 7 and the connecting block 8, and two groups of docking blocks 12 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the upper shell 1.

[0022] In specific implementation, the thermal overload relay is usually used for motor overload protection. The thermal overload relay is relatively simple and convenient to use, but it is inconvenient during the maintenance process. For this reason, the two groups of trapezoidal blocks 14 inside the two groups of docking blocks 12 can be pressed toward each other at the same time. When the two groups of trapezoidal blocks 14 are squeezed, the guide block 15 can be driven to move, and the spring 13 can be compressed while the trapezoidal block 14 moves. When the spring 13 is compressed to a specified degree, the two groups of trapezoidal blocks 14 can slide into the docking block 12 through the through groove 11. At this time, the upper shell 1 can be pulled upward. When the upper shell 1 moves, it can drive the plug-in block 7 to move. When the plug-in block 7 moves, it can squeeze the flexible plastic card block 9. At this time, the flexible plastic card block 9 is bent by force. When the flexible plastic card block 9 is bent to a specified degree, the plug-in block 7 can slide out from the inside of the connecting block 8. At this time, the upper shell 1 can be removed from the lower shell 3 to carry out maintenance work.

[0023] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the thermal overload relay can be quickly repaired through this simple and convenient method without using tools.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4It can be seen that a connecting plate 16 is installed on the back of the lower shell 3, and the internal thread of the connecting plate 16 is connected to a knob 17, and the interior of the connecting plate 16 is movably connected to a slider 18, and a slide groove 19 is provided inside the slider 18. The end of the slider 18 is connected to a mounting block 20, and a locking screw 21 is connected through the interior of the mounting block 20, so that a sliding structure is formed between the slider 18 and the connecting plate 16.

[0025] During specific implementation, the installation position of the thermal overload relay is usually fixed, which makes it difficult to adjust the installation position of the thermal overload relay according to actual conditions, and its practicality is poor. For this reason, the installation block 20 can be pulled. When the installation block 20 moves, the slider 18 and the locking screw 21 can be driven to move. When the slider 18 moves, it can slide through the connecting plate 16. When the slider 18 slides to the specified position, the knob 17 can be rotated. When the knob 17 is rotated, it can slide through the connecting plate 16, and the end of the knob 17 can squeeze and fix the slider 18 through the slide groove 19. At this time, the installation block 20 can be installed in the specified position, and the locking screw 21 can be fixed with a tool. The position of the locking screw 21 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, so that the installation position of the thermal overload relay can be installed and fixed according to different situations.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that by adjusting the installation position of the locking screw 21, the installation position of the thermal overload relay is diversified, thereby improving its practicality.

[0027] To sum up, when using the thermal overload relay that is easy to maintain, the thermal element of the thermal overload relay is connected to the motor circuit directly or through a current transformer. When the motor is overloaded, the bimetallic strip is heated to the operating temperature, causing the relay to operate and disconnect the power circuit of the motor to protect the motor from damage due to overload. The thermal overload relay is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. When the flexible plastic card block 9 is bent to a specified degree, the plug-in block 7 can slide out from the inside of the connecting block 8. At this time, the upper shell 1 can be removed from the lower shell 3 to perform maintenance operations. Through this simple and convenient method, the thermal overload relay can be quickly repaired without the use of tools. The position of the locking screw 21 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, so that the installation position of the thermal overload relay can be installed and fixed according to different conditions. By adjusting the installation position of the locking screw 21, the installation position of the thermal overload relay is diversified, thereby improving its practicality. The content not described in detail in this description belongs to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
