[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0030] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagram. When describing the embodiments of the present invention, for the sake of convenience, the cross-sectional diagrams showing the device structure will not be partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic diagrams are only examples, which should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-7 The first embodiment of the utility model provides a built-in over-temperature and over-current protector, including a bimetallic element 1 and a static contact 2. The bimetallic element 1 is used to form a conductive and disconnected state with the static contact 2 when in action, thereby playing a protective effect on the on-off of the circuit. In addition, the utility model also includes the following parts:

[0032] The bottom plate 3, the static contact 2 and one end of the bimetallic element 1 are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 3, so as to achieve relative fixation between the bimetallic element 1 and the static contact 2;

[0033] A heating element 4, which is used to generate heat when the current is too high and is conductively connected to the static contact 2;

[0034] The housing 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 3 and is separated from the bottom plate 3 by an insulating paper 6. The bottom plate 3 and the bimetallic element 1 are both used to connect the circuit to be controlled. The housing 5 finalizes the appearance of the entire product.

[0035] Sealing injection molding glue 7, which is encapsulated between the bottom plate 3 and the insulating paper 6, so as to fully ensure the sealing between the housing 5 and the outside;

[0036] Compared with the prior art, when the product is assembled with the motor, the whole product can be directly encapsulated inside the motor. When the motor current is too large, the current in its power supply circuit increases synchronously, causing the heating element 4 to generate heat and the bimetallic element 1 to act, thereby separating from the static contact 2 to achieve the circuit disconnection effect. The heating element 4 ensures the timeliness of the action of the bimetallic element 1 and improves the safety protection effect of the motor. The injection molding effect of the sealing injection molding glue 7 on the bottom plate 3 further ensures the sealing between the bottom plate 3 on the shell 5 and the outside world, so that the assembly inside the motor can be better realized and the injection molding process after the motor assembly is simplified, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the entire motor and effectively reducing the production cost.

[0037] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The shell 5 structurally includes a first shell 501 and a second shell 502. The bimetallic element 1 is arranged in the first shell 501. The second shell 502 is a concave structure. The bottom plate 3 and the inner wall of the second shell 502 form a conflicting relationship through the insulating paper 6, thereby ensuring the insulation effect between the bottom plate 3 and the entire shell, and also ensuring the insulation effect of the product after final assembly.

[0038] Further, see Figure 2 The heating element 4 is arranged in the first shell 501 and close to the bimetallic element 1. This arrangement ensures that when the heating element 4 generates heat, the heat can be concentrated in the first shell 501, so as to be fully transferred to the bimetallic element 1. The close distance further ensures the direct heat transfer effect.

[0039] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 6The heating element 4 can be an electric heating wire, and at least a part of its structure is located in the sealing injection molding glue 7. The bottom plate 3 is injection molded to increase the fixing effect of the heating element 4, thereby increasing the stability of its setting, and at the same time ensuring that the positioning effect of the heating element 4 can be achieved in the early stage of production of this product. For example, when the heating element 4 is an electric heating wire, this design is used to facilitate the spot welding process of the end of the heating wire, thereby further reducing the complexity of the process flow.

[0040] Further, see Figure 2 The present invention also includes a moving contact 8, which is fixedly connected to one end of the bimetallic element 1 and is used to contact the static contact 2, thereby ensuring a good contact effect between the bimetallic element 1 and the static contact 2 when the bimetallic element 1 is in motion.

[0041] Further, see Figure 1-7 The utility model also includes a PTC element 9, the outside of the shell is connected to the circuit to be controlled through an external terminal 10, and the PTC element 9 is electrically connected between the bimetallic element 1 and one of the external terminals 10. The series setting of the PTC element 9 in the circuit can cooperate with the bimetallic element 1 to further improve the timely power-off effect when overcurrent or heat occurs, and at the same time, it can play a conductive reset effect of the circuit when the current state and temperature are restored, thereby assisting this product to further improve the safety protection effect of the motor when overcurrent and overtemperature occur.

[0042] Further, see Figure 2 Regarding the setting method of PTC, the utility model also includes a steel card 11, which is fixedly set on the bottom plate 3. The PTC element 9 is connected to the steel card 11, so that it is fixed inside the shell to prevent it from forming physical activities inside the product, thereby preventing shaking and improving the structural stability when it is set itself.

[0043] It will be appreciated that in the development of any actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions may be made. Such a development effort may be complex and time-consuming, but will be a routine task of design, fabrication, and production for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure without undue experimentation.

[0044] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
