Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a surge protector, in particular to a surge protector with backup switch voltage limiting protection. Background Art
[0002] A surge protector (SPD), also known as a lightning arrester (AP), is an electronic device that provides safety protection for various electronic devices, instruments, and communication lines. When a sudden spike in current or voltage occurs in an electrical circuit or communication line due to external interference, the SPD can conduct and shunt the current in a very short time, thereby preventing the surge from damaging other equipment in the circuit. SPDs are typically suitable for use in AC 50 / 60HZ, 220V / 380V rated voltage power supply systems to protect against indirect and direct lightning effects or other transient overvoltage surges. They are widely used in residential, tertiary, and industrial applications requiring surge protection. Existing SPDs lack a backup switch voltage-limiting protection function, which can easily lead to damage to the protected lines or products due to lack of protection during the safety protection process.
[0003] Patent No. ZL202220940751.1, with an announcement date of October 21, 2022, discloses a surge protector for lightning protection engineering, comprising a slide rail body, the surface of which is longitudinally slidably connected to the surge protector body, the interior of which is laterally slidably connected to a moving rod via a limit groove and a limit rod, the top and bottom of the moving rod are both provided with a movable groove, and the interior of the movable groove is movably connected to a connecting rod via a pin. The utility model solves the problem that the stability of the existing surge protector needs to be improved by providing a slide rail body, a surge protector body, a moving rod, a movable groove, a connecting rod, a plug rod, a round block, a support plate, a spring, a clamping groove, a fixing plate, an outlet and a push rod. When the surge protector is in use, it is generally slidably limited on the surface of the slide rail for fixed use. The slide rail can only limit the surge protector and cannot effectively ensure that the surge protector is stably placed on the surface of the slide rail, thereby reducing the stability of the surge protector. This solution also has the problem of not having a backup switch voltage limiting protection function, which may cause damage to the protected lines or products due to lack of protection during the safety protection process.

The backup switch KG of the left backup protection zone, as well as the T1 switch-type graphite multi-stage discharge gap assembly SM, temperature-controlled switch WK and T2 voltage-limiting varistor MOV in the right surge discharge zone are protectively connected to the remote signal switch YX. The remote signal switch outputs a prompt signal remotely through the remote signal output terminal TXS. An arc extinguishing cover 14 and a self-locking mechanism 13 are installed and connected to the left backup protection zone 10.
[0016] The WK-2 terminal of the temperature-controlled switch WK in the right surge discharge area 20 and the MOV-2 terminal of the T2 varistor MOV are electrically connected in parallel and electrically connected to the TX-1 terminal of the decoupling inductor TX in the right surge discharge area. At the same time, the TX-1 terminal of the decoupling inductor TX in the right surge discharge area is electrically connected to the D connection point of the right surge discharge area.
[0017] The C connection point of the right surge relief zone is electrically connected to the C connection point of the left backup protection zone. The three components of the electromagnetic coil DCX, the gas discharge tube FDG and the unidirectional gap JX together form a step-by-step increasing through-current backup protector.
[0018] A fault trip linkage indicator 21, a first linkage spring 22, a second linkage spring 24, a compression spring 23, and a C connection point connected to the soft wire CR and the temperature over-temperature monitoring point 25 are installed and connected on the right surge discharge area 20.

[0019] When in use, the connection method of T1 switch type + T2 voltage limiting type surge protector is:
[0020] The KG-1 static contact of the backup switch is first introduced through the incoming line end of the left backup protector area, and then the moving contact from the KG-2 end is connected to point A. The two ends of the three components DCX, FDG, and JX are respectively connected to points A and B in parallel, and then point B is connected to point B of the right surge discharge area.

[0021] Working principle of T1 switch type + T2 voltage limiting type surge protector:
[0022] The KG-1 static contact is first introduced through the incoming line end of the left backup protector area, the KG backup switch is closed, and then the moving contact from the KG-2 end is connected to point A. In order to improve the stability of the backup protector, the present invention adopts a step-by-step increasing current design composed of three components, DCX, FDG, and JX. In the state without lightning surge, the Un voltage passes from DCX to point B. When the lightning surge energy reaches a certain level, the FDG is first instantaneously started and turned on to point B. As the lightning surge increases again, the JX component is started and turned on to point B. When the MOV component in the right surge discharge area detects When point B is in a state of high voltage and high current caused by a lightning surge, the MOV component is instantaneously activated to maintain a voltage-limiting linear discharge of the lightning surge to the ground terminal. As the lightning surge gradually increases again, the voltage-limiting type cannot maintain a large flow rate to discharge the lightning surge. The SM component detects that point B is in a state of high voltage and high current caused by a lightning surge, and instantaneously activates the SM component to perform a switching type discharge of a large flow rate of the lightning surge, high voltage and high current to the ground terminal. Therefore, in order to comprehensively improve the protection performance of the surge protector, the present invention designs an integrated surge protector that combines both a switching type and a voltage-limiting type.
[0023] Working principle of fault protection and remote signaling output of T1 switch type + T2 voltage limiting type surge protector:
[0024] Power frequency continuous current overcurrent protection: When the MOV component and SM component in the right surge discharge area have a short circuit due to a fault, resulting in power frequency continuous current overcurrent and affecting the operation of the main line, in order not to affect the normal operation of the main line, the surge protector needs to be disconnected from the main line. The present invention instantly activates the DCX component linkage self-locking mechanism in the left backup protection area, causing the KG component to operate and disconnect the MOV component and SM component in the right surge discharge area to continue to work abnormally and drive the YX (remote signal switch) to operate and issue a remote signal output prompt
[0025] 2. SM component over-temperature protection: When the SM component in the right surge discharge area overheats, the low-temperature solder at the T1 temperature over-temperature detection point melts, disconnecting the linkage spring 1. Due to the action of the compression spring, the indicator is pushed, and the separation of the indicator causes a red display in the right surge discharge area window, which then drives the linkage spring 2, which in turn drives the self-locking mechanism, causing the KG component to operate and drive the YX (remote signal switch) to operate and send a remote signal output prompt signal.
[0026] 3. MOV component overtemperature protection: When the MOV component in the right surge discharge area overheats, the WK component instantly turns on and drives the DCX component to activate the self-locking mechanism, causing the KG component to activate and drive the YX (remote signal switch) to activate and send a remote signal output prompt signal.
