Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toaster heating circuits, and specifically relates to a toaster heating circuit structure. Background Art

[0002] In the heating circuit of the existing toaster, the thyristor is directly connected in series with the fuse in case of a short circuit. The theoretical short-circuit current is infinite and the consistency is poor. The protection phenomenon is inconsistent in different environments. There is no problem in testing under the environment of a voltage regulator / variable-frequency power supply, but there is an obvious explosion sound in the actual power grid.

[0003] In the current toaster heating circuit, there is a significant problem that the thyristor is directly connected in series on the fuse. When a short circuit occurs in the circuit, the current will increase sharply and approach infinity, because the resistance is almost zero during a short circuit and the current is no longer restricted and climbs rapidly. In actual operation, we observe that the consistency of this short-circuit current is poor, which means that under different test conditions, the magnitude and performance of the short-circuit current are not stable.

[0004] This inconsistency is particularly obvious in various environments. Under laboratory conditions, when testing with a voltage regulator or variable-frequency power supply, the system seems to work normally without obvious abnormal phenomena. However, when we connect the toaster to the actual power grid, the situation is quite different. The complexity of the power grid makes the short-circuit phenomenon more difficult to predict and control, and there is often an obvious explosion sound, which not only damages the equipment itself but also greatly increases the safety risk.
