[0025] 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.

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.

[0026] Example: Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides a bimetallic thermal protector for a small power motor, comprising a motor body 1, a thermal protection device body 2 and a protection device block 3, wherein a motor control board 101 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the motor body 1, the protection device block 3 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the motor control board 101, the thermal protection device body 2 is movable on the outside of the protection device block 3, a metal thermal protection component is fixedly mounted on the outside of the thermal protection device body 2, and the metal thermal protection component comprises a first heat-bent metal 201, a second heat-bent metal 202, a first fixing gasket 205, a first circular metal sheet 307, a second circular metal sheet 308 and a metal fixing block 209;

When the device is overheated due to overload, short circuit or other faults, the first heat-bending metal 201 and the second heat-bending metal 202 are bent in opposite directions, causing the bimetallic strip to bend and disconnect the circuit, so that it does not rely on complex electronic components or control systems, and thus has higher reliability.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure fixing block 302 fits with the second slider 301 , so that the pressure fixing block 302 can drive the second slider 301 to move downward, and finally the second slider 301 fixes the metal fixing block 209 .

[0038] A threaded rod 207 is fixedly installed at one end of the No. 1 metal rod 206 away from the No. 1 fixed gasket 205, and a gasket fixing screw 208 is movably connected to the outside of the connecting gasket 104. The gasket fixing screw 208 is fixedly connected to the No. 1 screw 210, and the No. 1 screw 210 is threadedly connected to the No. 1 metal rod 206.

[0040] Working principle: When a bimetallic thermal protector is needed for a small-power motor, the protection device block 3 is fixedly installed on an outside, and the current flows to the second hot-bent metal 202 through the threaded rod 207, and then flows from the first hot-bent metal 201 to the first hot-bent metal 201, and finally flows to the motor through the connecting wire 103 to power it. When the equipment is overheated due to overload, short circuit or other faults, the first hot-bent metal 201 and the second hot-bent metal 202 bend in opposite directions, causing the bimetallic strip to bend and disconnect the circuit, thereby releasing the adhesion between the first circular metal sheet 307 and the second circular metal sheet 308, so that it does not rely on complex electronic components or control systems, and therefore has higher reliability;

[0041] When the thermal protection device body 2 needs to be replaced, slide the sliding fixed block 305, and move the pressure fixed block 302 upward through the third rotating shaft 304, so as to release the engagement between the engaging fixed block 306 and the metal fixed block 209, further replace the metal fixed block 209, and then push the sliding fixed block 305 to complete the replacement of the bimetallic thermal protector.

Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
