Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of thermal protectors, and in particular relates to a combined thermal protector structure. Background Art

[0002] The thermal protector is a thermal protector that uses a bimetallic strip as a temperature sensing element. When the appliance is working normally, the bimetallic strip is in a free state and the contacts are in a closed / open state. When the temperature rises to the action temperature value, the bimetallic element is heated to generate internal stress and quickly actuates, opening / closing the contacts and cutting off / connecting the circuit, thereby playing a thermal protection role. When the temperature drops to the set temperature, the contacts automatically close / open and resume normal working state.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN217903004U discloses a combined thermal protector, comprising a shell, a plug is embedded in one side of the shell, a wire is passed through the other side of the shell, and a bimetallic strip is arranged inside the shell; a horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell, a slide groove is arranged on the top of the horizontal plate, and the bottom of the bimetallic strip is slidably installed inside the slide groove through a slider;

[0004] The above design uses an L-shaped plate to quickly extract the metal sheet inside the thermal protector to achieve the purpose of quick replacement. However, there are certain problems in actual use. Specifically, the L-shaped plate is installed on the side of the equipment and is exposed to the air as a whole. An additional matching groove needs to be opened in the thermal protector shell to connect the end of the L-shaped plate to the metal sheet. This method destroys the sealing of the thermal protector shell, and external impurities can easily pass through the matching groove into the interior of the component. There is also a risk of leakage, which affects the safety of the overall use of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[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 refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0030] Depend on Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a combined thermal protector structure includes a lower shell 1, an upper shell 2, a heat-resistant wire 3, an automatic switch 4 and a resistor column 5. The upper shell 2 is slidably installed on the upper end of the lower shell 1, and the heat-resistant wire 3 is symmetrically arranged on the side of the lower shell 1. The automatic switch 4 is arranged inside the lower shell 1, and the automatic switch 4 is electrically connected to one group of the heat-resistant wires 3. The resistor column 5 is arranged at the upper end of the lower shell 1, and the resistor column 5 is electrically connected to the other group of the heat-resistant wires 3. A combined mechanism 6 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the upper shell 2, and the combined mechanism 6 includes a limit block 61, a connecting rod 62 and a clamping plate 63. The limit block 61 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lower shell 1, and the connecting rod 62 is equidistantly fixedly installed on the lower end of the upper shell 2. The connecting rod 62 is located directly above the limit block 61, and the clamping plate 63 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 62, and the clamping plate 63 is engaged with the limit block 61.

[0031] During use, two groups of heat-resistant wires 3 are connected to the equipment to be tested to provide power for the operation of the equipment, and then power is input into the automatic switch 4 through one group of heat-resistant wires 3. At this time, the internal components of the automatic switch 4 are in a fitted state, and the circuit remains unobstructed. After that, power is discharged by another group of heat-resistant wires 3 through the resistor column 5, and the overall circuit is in a smooth state. When it is necessary to inspect the components inside the lower shell 1, the upper shell 2 can be separated from the upper end of the lower shell 1 by using the combination mechanism 6, and the upper shell 2 can be pushed toward the upper end as a whole by prying the notches on both sides of the lower shell 1. At this time, the connecting rod 62 is squeezed and its own shape tilts, forcing the card plate 63 to follow the connecting rod 62 and tilt to the side at the same time. When the card plate 63 tilts to a certain angle, the card plate 63 will detach from the lower end of the connecting rod 62, and the card plate 63 can be pulled out from the bottom end of the connecting rod 62 to complete the separation of the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1, so that the staff can inspect the internal components of the lower shell 1.

[0032] By the attached Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the combination mechanism 6 also includes a positioning groove 64 and a positioning column 65. The positioning groove 64 is symmetrically opened at the top corner of the lower shell 1, and the positioning column 65 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the upper shell 2 relative to the upper end of the positioning groove 64. The positioning column 65 is slidably connected to the positioning groove 64. During use, the positioning groove 64 and the positioning column 65 are used to facilitate the vertical movement state when the upper shell 2 is docked with the lower shell 1, and the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 can be quickly aligned and the auxiliary components can be spliced.

[0033] By the attached Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the combination mechanism 6 also includes a protective plate 66, which is symmetrically fixedly installed on the lower end of the upper shell 2. A card slot is opened inside the protective plate 66, and the card slot is slidably connected to the heat-resistant wire 3. When the protective plate 66 moves downward with the upper shell 2 during use, the protective plate 66 will squeeze the outside of the heat-resistant wire 3 and block the slot inside the lower shell 1 for inserting the auxiliary heat-resistant wire 3, thereby preventing external impurities from entering the interior of the device.

[0034] By the attached Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the device also includes a conductive base plate 7 and a connecting bracket 8. The conductive base plate 7 is slidably installed inside the lower shell 1, and multiple groups of connecting brackets 8 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conductive base plate 7.

In use, there are three groups of connecting brackets 8, and the connecting brackets 8 are respectively installed at the connection between each component to assist in the connection between the heat-resistant wire 3, the automatic switch 4 and the resistor column 5, and can also be quickly disassembled for each component later.

[0035] By the attached Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting bracket 8 includes a sleeve rod 81, an extrusion screw groove 82, an extrusion screw 83 and an extrusion sheet 84. The sleeve rod 81 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conductive bottom plate 7. The sleeve rod 81 is provided with an extrusion screw groove 82. The extrusion screw 83 is threadedly installed in the extrusion screw groove 82. The extrusion screw 83 is sleeved with an extrusion sheet 84 on the outside. In use, the end connectors of the circuit to be connected are sleeved on the outside of the sleeve rod 81 in turn, and then the extrusion sheet 84 is installed on the outside of the sleeve rod 81, and it is ensured that the extrusion sheet 84 is at the upper end of the connector. Then, the extrusion screw 83 is turned into the extrusion screw groove 82, and the distance between the extrusion screw 83 and the extrusion sheet 84 is gradually reduced. The subsequent extrusion screw 83 can extrude the position of the extrusion sheet 84, so that the end connectors of the circuit are fitted together to ensure the stability of the circuit.

[0036] By the attached Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the heat-resistant wire 3 includes a connecting wire 31, a connecting plate 32, a ring 33 and a clamping ring 34. The ring 33 is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding sleeve rod 81, and the clamping ring 34 is fixedly installed on the side of the ring 33. A connecting plate 32 is arranged inside the clamping ring 34, and the connecting wire 31 is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting plate 32. In use, the heat-resistant wires 3 are divided into two groups. The heat-resistant wires 3 to be used are placed on the side of the corresponding connecting bracket 8, and then the ring 33 is sleeved inside the connecting bracket 8. By using the connecting bracket 8, the position of the ring 33 is fixed, and then the connecting plate 32 is installed inside the clamping ring 34. By squeezing both sides of the clamping ring 34, the clamping ring 34 is deformed as a whole, the position of the connecting plate 32 is fixed, and the position locking of the connecting wire 31 is quickly completed.

[0037] By the attached Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic switch 4 includes a connecting component 41, a fixing plate 42, a connecting plate 43 and a mounting seat 44, the mounting seat 44 is fixedly mounted on one side of the upper surface of the conductive bottom plate 7, the connecting component 41 is arranged at the upper end of the mounting seat 44, the fixing plate 42 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting component 41, and the connecting plate 43 is arranged on the other side of the connecting component 41. During use, the fixing plate 42 is used to sleeve the fixing plate 42 on the outside of the corresponding second bracket, the auxiliary fixing plate 42 is connected to the heat-resistant wire 3, and the connecting plate 43 is installed on the outside of the third bracket for connecting the automatic switch 4 with the internal circuit of the resistor column 5. Afterwards, the circuit input into the heat-resistant wire 3 is transported to the inside of the resistor column 5 through the use of the connecting component 41 to complete the circuit connection.

[0038] By the attached Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting component 41 includes a middle-end spring piece 411, a connecting spring piece 412, a metal spring piece 413 and a contact rod 414. The middle-end spring piece 411 is arranged at the upper end of the mounting seat 44, the connecting spring piece 412 is fixedly installed on the right side of the middle-end spring piece 411, the metal spring piece 413 is fixedly installed on the left side of the middle-end spring piece 411, and the contact rod 414 is fixedly installed at the end of the metal spring piece 413. During use, when the connecting component 41 is energized, as the current continues to increase, the overall temperature of the middle-end spring piece 411 will change with the change of the current. When the temperature reaches a certain threshold, the middle-end spring piece 411 will cause the metal spring piece 413 on the side to deform, forcing the end of the metal spring piece 413 to release the fit with the connecting piece 43, complete the circuit disconnection, and stably complete the heat detection.
