[0043] Furthermore, the first matching portion is a supporting portion.

[0044] It can be seen from the above description that the first matching portion is used as a supporting portion, which not only has a supporting effect on the metal elastic member, but also has a matching effect with the matched portion, thereby achieving the effect of simplifying the structure.

[0045] Furthermore, it also includes a shell, the first matched portion is an inner side wall of the shell close to the abutting portion, and the abutting portion is interference-fitted with the inner side wall of the shell close to the abutting portion.

[0046] It can be seen from the above description that the limiting effect is achieved by the interference fit between the abutting portion and the first matched portion.

[0047] Furthermore, it also includes a shell, the shell is provided with a first mounting portion, the switching element is provided with a second mounting portion that matches the first mounting portion, and the matched portion is provided on the shell.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , Embodiment 1 of the present utility model is:

[0062] like Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a reflow soldering temperature fuse, which is installed on a circuit board to be soldered. When in use, it needs to be set to a soldering state to prevent the reflow soldering temperature fuse from activating an over-temperature protection function. After the reflow soldering temperature fuse is soldered, it needs to be set to a working state to exert its protection function. When it needs to be used again and soldering is required, it can be set to a soldering state again.

[0063] The specific structure of the above-mentioned repeatable reflow soldering temperature fuse includes a shell 1, a base 2, a switching element 3, two electrodes and a metal elastic member 4 for connecting the two electrodes; the shell 1 is provided with a first mounting portion 11, the switching element 3 is provided with a second mounting portion 31 matched with the first mounting portion 11, the first mounting portion 11 is a through hole provided on the opposite side walls of the shell, the second mounting portion 31 is a rotating shaft provided on the opposite side walls of the switching element, and the rotating shaft is penetrated in the through hole so that the switching element can be rotatably provided on the shell. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft can be integrally formed on the opposite side walls of the switching element, or it can be provided in the form of a latch, that is, a through hole is provided on the opposite side walls of the switching element, and a latch is provided through the through hole, and this method is convenient for assembly.

[0064] The two electrodes are electrode sheet a5 and electrode sheet b6, the metal elastic member 4 is a spring, and the switching element 3 is a button; one end of the spring is connected to the electrode sheet a5, and the other end of the spring is connected to the electrode sheet b6 through the temperature sensing element 7.

The first matching portion 33 and the second matching portion 34 are both used to match with an external matched portion.

[0066] Specifically, the mated part includes a first mated part 12. When the first mated part 12 is mated with the first mating part 33, the abutting part 32 on the switching element does not abut against the other end of the metal elastic part 4; when the first mated part 12 is mated with the second mating part 34, the abutting part 32 on the switching element abuts against the other end of the metal elastic part 4.

[0067] In this embodiment, an extension portion 13 is provided on the inner side wall of the housing 1, and the matched portion is provided at the free end of the extension portion 13. The first matching portion 33 and the second matching portion 34 are both limiting grooves, wherein the first matching portion is a working limiting groove, and the second matching portion is a welding limiting groove; the first matched portion 12 is a limiting protrusion, i.e., a limiting block. The limiting groove is used as the first matching portion and the second matching portion, and the limiting protrusion is used as the matched portion. The concave-convex matching is adopted, which has stability and avoids misalignment.

[0068] When the first matched portion 12 matches with the first matching portion 33, the third matching portion 35 matches with the second matched portion 14 so that the third matching portion 35 does not abut against the metal elastic member 4. By further adding a third matching portion to match with the external second matched portion, the third matching portion can be limited to prevent the metal elastic member from being affected.

[0069] The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a guide groove 15, and the outer wall of the switching element 3 is provided with a guide step 36 adapted to the guide groove 15. The cooperation between the guide groove and the guide step can play a role of limiting the switching element during the reciprocating motion, and also has the function of preventing fooling and reverse installation.

[0070] The other end of the metal elastic member 4 is provided with a protrusion 41, and when the first matched portion 12 is matched with the second matching portion 34, the abutting portion 32 on the switching element abuts against the protrusion 41. By providing the protrusion, the protruding portion has a certain elasticity, which helps the first matching portion and the second matching portion of the switching element to engage with the matched portion when the abutting portion contacts the protruding component, and prevents the switching element from being too rigid and not being able to engage in place when there is a size difference.

[0074] like Figure 5 After the welding is completed, the button is pushed until the working limit groove is engaged with the limit block (ie, the first matching portion is matched with the first matched portion). At this time, the abutting portion is separated from the reed, that is, the reed is in a working state.

[0075] like Figure 6 When the temperature sensing element reaches the preset protection temperature, the temperature sensing element melts, triggering the protection, and the reed separates from the electrode piece b.

[0076] like Figure 7 When it is necessary to repeat the welding again, the button is turned to the welding state again, so that the welding limit groove and the limit block are engaged again; at this time, the reed sheet contacts the electrode sheet b again, and after reflow welding, the reed sheet and the electrode sheet b are solidified and connected again through the temperature sensing element.

[0077] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , Embodiment 2 of the present utility model is:

[0078] The difference from the first embodiment is that the first matching portion is abutting portion, that is, the first matching portion is used as abutting portion, which not only has abutting effect on the metal elastic member, but also has a matching effect with the matched portion, thereby achieving a simplified structure.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , Embodiment 3 of the present utility model is:

[0080] The difference from the first embodiment is that the first matched portion is the inner side wall of the housing close to the abutting portion, and the abutting portion is interference-fitted with the inner side wall of the housing close to the abutting portion. The limiting function is achieved by the abutting portion directly having an interference fit with the first matched portion.

[0081] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the fourth embodiment of the utility model is:

[0082] The difference from the above-mentioned embodiment 1 is that: the matched part includes a first matched part, a second matched part and a third matched part; when the first matched part matches with the first matching part, the abutting part on the switching element does not abut against the other end of the metal elastic part, and the third matching part matches with the third matched part so that the third matching part does not abut against the metal elastic part; when the second matched part matches with the second matching part, the abutting part on the switching element abuts against the other end of the metal elastic part. By further adding the third matching part to match with the third matched part, the third matching part can be limited, which is equivalent to a secondary limiting effect on the switching element, effectively preventing the metal elastic part from being affected.

[0083] In summary, the utility model provides a repeatable reflow soldering temperature fuse, which increases a switching element, and is provided with a supporting portion for abutting against the other end of the metal elastic member, and a first matching portion and a second matching portion respectively corresponding to the first position and the second matching portion corresponding to the second position on the switching element, wherein the first matching portion and the second matching portion are both used to match with the matched portion to realize the switching function of the switching element, and at the same time, since the switching element is provided with a supporting portion for abutting against the other end of the metal elastic member, that is, the switching between abutting and non-abutting against the other end of the metal elastic member is realized, when the repeatable reflow soldering temperature fuse is installed on the printed circuit to be soldered, it needs to be set to a soldering state to prevent the repeatable reflow soldering temperature fuse from activating the over-temperature protection function, so that the supporting portion abuts against the other end of the metal elastic member; after soldering is completed, it needs to be set to a working state so that the supporting portion does not abut against the other end of the metal elastic member to exert its thermal protection function. When it needs to be used again and soldering is required, it can be set to a soldering state again. The utility model can be applied to printed circuits, household appliances, lighting, automobiles, heaters, reflow soldering, wave soldering, and manual soldering to overcome and minimize the quality loss caused by soldering.
