Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field, in particular to a disengagement mechanism for a surge protector. Background Art

[0002] A surge protector is a type of protector used to protect electronic products from overvoltage and lightning current shocks. Usually, electronic surge protection components such as varistors and gas discharge tubes are housed in an insulating housing, and one of the connection terminals of the varistor is directly led to the outside of the insulating housing and set as one of the electrical connection contact parts of the surge protector, while the other electrical connection contact part led to the outside of the insulating housing needs to be connected to the second connection terminal of the varistor and a mechanical detachment mechanism that can operate after the temperature melts the solder, so that when a high voltage or current flows through the varistor and melts the solder, the second connection terminal can be effectively isolated by the mechanical detachment mechanism, so that the arc is effectively disconnected and the electrical gap is increased, thereby protecting electronic products from damage caused by overvoltage and lightning current shocks.

[0003] As electronic equipment becomes increasingly miniaturized, the entire equipment expects smaller and smaller components. The original wide-body structure surge protector is less and less suitable for the requirements of increasingly miniaturized equipment due to its large space occupation. However, the narrower structure surge protector is limited by space, and the electrical gap formed after thermal separation is generally small (for example: about 3mm). With the increase of the voltage of the transmission grid, according to the relevant provisions of GB / T18802.11-2020: Under some voltage levels, the electrical gap should be 5.5mm or even larger. Only a larger electrical gap can have a better arc isolation effect and ensure the safety of equipment power use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

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.

[0023] See also Figure 1-3The utility model discloses a disengagement mechanism for a surge protector, comprising a plug core 1, a disengagement indicator 2, a pin 3, a tension spring 4, a surge protector element 5 and a tripping mechanism 6, wherein the plug core 1 is provided with a pivot fulcrum A11, a pivot fulcrum B12, a guide groove A13 and a guide groove B14; the disengagement indicator 2 is provided with a first protrusion point 21, a second protrusion point 22 and a guide hole 23, the disengagement indicator 2 can be rotated and connected around the pivot fulcrum A11 on the plug core 1, and one end of the disengagement indicator 2 abuts against the tension spring 4 to maintain a rotational reset trend; the surge protector element 5 is provided with a pin A51 and a pin B52, which are respectively inserted into the guide groove A14 and the guide groove B13 through the pin 3; the disengagement indicator 2 abuts against the surge protector element 5 and the tripping mechanism 6 for driving.

[0024] Furthermore, the first protruding point 21 and the second protruding point 22 provided on the detachment indicator 2 are located on the right side of the detachment indicator 2 and are in the same rotation direction as the pivot point A11, and the protruding surfaces thereof are arranged at nearly 90 degrees.

[0025] Furthermore, the rotation radius of the first protruding point 21 is greater than that of the second protruding point 22 .

[0026] Furthermore, the tripping mechanism 6 is provided with a disengagement rod 61, and the tripping mechanism 6 is also provided with a buckle 62, and the buckle 62 is connected to the disengagement guide 61, and the disengagement rod 61 is connected to the pin B52 on the surge protector element 5 that can carry surge energy through welding material to form a thermal tripping point 7 with the function of melting under temperature to produce a thermal tripping effect.

[0027] Furthermore, the disengagement guide 61 provided on the release mechanism 6 is inserted into the pivot point B12 provided on the insert 1 , and the rotation direction of the disengagement guide 61 is synchronously rotated with the disengagement indicator 2 and the direction is consistent.

[0028] Furthermore, the first protruding point 21 and the second protruding point 22 are set to have the same model parameters.

[0029] Furthermore, the pin A51 and the pin B52 are set to the same model parameters.

[0030] Furthermore, the pivot point A11 and the pivot point B12 are set to have the same model parameters.

[0031] Furthermore, the guide groove A13 and the guide groove B14 are set to have the same model parameters.

[0032] See also Figure 4-5The working principle of the utility model is: when the product is in a normal state, the first protruding point 21 on the disengagement indicator 2 abuts against the disengagement rod 61 on the tripping mechanism 6; when the product is thermally disengaged, under the spring force of the tension spring 4, the pin B52 and the disengagement rod 61 will be separated, and at the same time, the first protruding point 21 on the disengagement indicator 2 abuts against the disengagement rod 61 on the tripping mechanism 6 when the product is in a normal state, and then transitions to the second protruding point 22 abutting against the disengagement rod 61 on the tripping mechanism 6. In this process, after the second protruding point 22 abuts against the disengagement rod 61, the distance between the disengagement rod 61 and the pin B52 is significantly greater than the distance between the first protruding point 21 and the disengagement rod 61 on the tripping mechanism 6 and the pin B52 after the first protruding point 21 abuts against the disengagement rod 61 on the tripping mechanism 6.

[0033] The rotation radius of the second protrusion point on the disengagement indicator of the utility model is greater than that of the first protrusion point. The abutment of the second protrusion point with the trip rod increases the safety distance between the trip rod and the pin B on the surge protector element that can carry surge energy. The increased distance can avoid the situation where an arc exists between the pin B and the trip rod, thereby improving the cutting effect.
