Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuses, and specifically discloses a small-sized sheet-type fuse. Background Art

[0002] Chip-type miniature fuses are components used for circuit protection, with advantages such as small size, compact structure, and high reliability. In traditional chip-type miniature fuses, PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) materials are usually used as the main resistance materials. PTC materials have a positive temperature coefficient, that is, when the temperature rises, the resistance value will increase accordingly, thereby limiting the current and achieving the purpose of overcurrent protection. However, traditional chip-type miniature fuses have some problems in some cases.

[0003] First, when traditional chip-type small fuses are performing overcurrent protection, the response speed is slow due to the large heat capacity of the PTC material, and they cannot quickly respond to the instantaneous large current in the circuit, which may damage the circuit or even cause a safety accident. Secondly, when traditional chip-type small fuses are operating in a high-temperature environment, the resistance value of the PTC material will increase sharply with the increase in temperature, which may cause the voltage in the circuit to be too high, thereby causing damage to other components in the circuit. In addition, traditional chip-type small fuses usually use metal oxides as the main component of the PTC material. Metal oxides are easily decomposed in a high-temperature environment, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the PTC material, thereby affecting the service life and reliability of the fuse.

After the fusible wire 1 and the first metal foil 2 are installed on the inner side of the high thermal conductivity substrate 3 by using the first plug-in piece 8, the second metal foil 5 can be directly installed on the outer side of the high thermal conductivity substrate 3 by plugging. The two do not affect each other, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing the sheet-type small fuse.

[0025] Among them, the first metal foil 2 includes a support sheet 21 which is sleeved on the inner side of the high thermal conductivity substrate 3 and movably sleeved on the outer side of the positioning column 7. An upper spring sheet 22 located above the first plug-in sheet 8 is provided on one side of the support sheet 21, and a lower spring sheet 23 located below the second plug-in sheet 9 is provided on the other side of the support sheet 21. Side spring sheets 24 are provided on both sides of the upper spring sheet 22 and the lower spring sheet 23.
