Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fuse for protecting electrical circuits or electrical equipment, and more specifically to a high-voltage DC fast fuse. Background Art

[0002] A fuse is an electrical appliance that melts and disconnects a circuit by generating heat itself when the current exceeds a specified value. When in use, the fuse is connected in series to the protected circuit. When an overload or short-circuit current passes through the fuse element, the fuse element will heat up and melt by itself, thus playing a certain protective role for the power system, various electrical equipment, and household appliances.

[0003] With the progress of power utilization technology, the transmission distance is getting longer and longer, resulting in higher transmission voltages and larger transmission currents. Especially in the field of direct current, electrical equipment and energy storage devices such as batteries and capacitors are also developing towards high voltage and large current. Considering environmental and cost factors, energy storage batteries or capacitors are also developing towards smaller volumes to reduce space occupation and environmental impact. For fuses used to provide overload and short-circuit protection for such equipment (systems), heat dissipation issues must be considered during long-term operation in a small space (even an enclosed space). Generally, the temperature rise is required not to exceed 130K, otherwise it will shorten the service life of the fuse or even cause misoperation, resulting in a short circuit in the line or the fuse melting when the overload or short-circuit current does not reach the designed fuse critical value. Currently, in the industry, to avoid this situation, generally, the larger the current, the thicker the fuse tube, so that the fuse has enough heat dissipation space (heat dissipation area) for heat dissipation. At the same time, on the premise of a larger fuse outer dimension, higher requirements are put forward for the welding and arrangement methods of the fuse element, as well as the material, size, and structure of the fuse tube. As a result, the arrangement density of the fuse element is getting larger, the difficulty is getting higher, heat dissipation is getting more difficult, and the manufacturing difficulty of the fuse tube is also getting larger and the cost is getting higher.

[0004] In addition, when multiple fuse elements are arranged in a concentric multi-turn manner in the inner cavity of a fuse tube, during normal use, due to the narrow heat dissipation space, heat dissipation is bound to be difficult, resulting in a higher temperature rise, increased power consumption, and shortened service life. To solve or overcome the problems of high temperature rise and high power consumption, the commonly used methods are: increasing the space around the fuse, installing cooling air conditioners in the electrical equipment area, etc.

[0005] All of the above have led to the current disadvantages of large current fuses, such as high material consumption, high cost, high manufacturing difficulty, complex processes, high usage and maintenance costs, and reduced safety protection performance. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to overcome the above deficiencies, the present utility model provides a fast fuse with heat dissipation blocks. This fuse is composed of a plurality of fuse tubes arranged side by side and independently installed on an external electrode. The fuse element is arranged in a plurality of independent fuse tubes, and a certain heat dissipation space is left between adjacent fuse tubes. Heat dissipation blocks are provided at both ends and the middle of the fuse tubes. And in order to improve the installation stability of the fuse and enhance the anti-impact and vibration resistance capabilities, an installation bracket is also provided in the middle waist of the fuse tube, thus forming an integral body. It not only improves the heat dissipation capacity of the fast fuse when installed and used in a narrow space, but also solves the problem of poor anti-impact and vibration resistance performance of the fuse used in the battery or capacitor protection systems of ships, rail transit, and low-altitude aircraft. Without the need to add additional heat dissipation facilities or cooling equipment, the temperature rise and power consumption can be reduced, ensuring stable operation in the system and providing reliable safety assurance for electrical equipment.

[0007] The present utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0008] 1. A fast fuse with heat dissipation blocks, including an internal electrode, an external electrode, a fuse tube, a fuse element, a fuse element guide post, heat dissipation block A and heat dissipation block B, fastening pins, arc extinguishing filler, and fastening screws; the internal electrode is installed and fixed at both ends of the fuse element guide post, and the fuse element is welded to the inner end face of the internal electrode. After the internal electrode welded with the fuse element passes through the fuse tube, it is fixed with fastening pins on the side faces at both ends of the fuse tube. The fuse tube with the fuse element sleeved inside passes through the installation through holes provided on the heat dissipation block, so that heat dissipation block B and heat dissipation block A are respectively installed and distributed at the middle waist and both ends of the fuse tube, and the external electrode is installed at the outer ends of the heat dissipation block A distributed at both ends of the fuse tube; it is characterized in that: the external electrode is connected to the internal electrodes installed on the outer end faces of a plurality of independent and parallel fuse tubes through fastening screws, and there is a gap for air flow left between each fuse tube.

[0009] 2. Fuse supports are installed on both sides of heat dissipation block B, and the bottom of the support is reversely flanged, so that the overall shape is L-shaped, and a support installation hole is provided at the bottom end of the L-shaped support, and the shape of the installation hole is kidney-shaped.

[0010] 3. A polygonal inward convex platform is provided at the middle part of the inner end face of the internal electrode, a circular recess for installing the fuse element guide post is provided at the center of the convex platform, and fixing glue is applied to the installation and connection part of the fuse element guide post and the internal electrode.

[0011] 4. The fuse element is provided with narrow diameters composed of a plurality of holes at intervals along the length direction. The adjacent narrow diameters are not in the same plane by means of flanging, and connection edges are provided at both ends of the fuse element.

[0012] 5. A fuse micro motion indicating device is installed on the outer end face at the middle part of the fuse.

[0013] 6. A mounting hole for connecting and fixing with an external circuit is provided in the middle of the outer end surface of the external electrode.

[0014] 7. An arc-proof and arc-extinguishing pad is provided between the contact surface of the internal electrode and the melting tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the main advantages of the utility model are:

[0016] 1. Multiple parallel and independent fuse tubes are installed on an external electrode, so that the rated current that the line system needs to carry is borne by the fuses installed and arranged in multiple independent fuse tubes. A certain heat dissipation space is left between adjacent fuse tubes, and heat dissipation blocks are arranged at both ends and the middle of the fuse tube, which not only improves the heat dissipation effect of the fuse, but also reduces the thickness of the external conductive plate, which can reduce the material consumption and reduce the overall mass (weight) of the fuse; in this way, the temperature rise of the fuse during power-on operation is in a relatively low working condition, reducing power loss, which is beneficial to energy saving and saving operating costs, and can also extend the service life of the fuse.

[0017] 2. The melt is arranged in multiple independent melting tubes. Compared with the current use of one melting tube, the outer dimensions of a single melting tube are greatly reduced. Compared with the large tube, the manufacturing process, equipment and processing difficulty of the small tube are much lower, the yield (qualified rate) is relatively higher, and the manufacturing cost of the melting tube will also be reduced. In addition, it is not necessary to arrange multiple (multiple) melts that need to carry the rated current of the protected system in the inner cavity of a melting tube, which reduces the difficulty of melt arrangement installation, is conducive to improving work efficiency and quality control capabilities, and also increases the structural stability of the fuse, so that the vibration resistance and anti-bumping capabilities are improved.

[0018] 3. A bracket is installed at the waist of the fuse. Compared with the current process, the connection and fixing method of the fuse does not only rely on the external electrode to connect and fix the system. The added mounting bracket makes the connection and installation of the fuse more stable and firm. Whether it is used in rail transportation, ships, low-altitude aircraft, or IGBT, high-voltage battery packs, high-voltage supercapacitors and other equipment or systems, the anti-bumping, impact and vibration resistance will be further improved. The performance indicators will not only fully comply with the indicators specified in standards such as GJB150.16A-2009 and GJB150.18-1986, but will even be far better than the indicators specified in the standards.
