Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuses, in particular to a convex column type fuse. Background Art

[0002] The fuses each include an insulating shell, a first connecting terminal located at one end of the insulating shell, a second connecting terminal located at the other end of the insulating shell, and a fuse passing through the interior of the insulating shell and electrically connecting the two connecting terminals.

[0003] Generally, one end of the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal are fixed to the insulating shell by ultrasonic welding, and the other end is provided with a connection hole for the connection bolt to pass through. After the connection bolt is passed through the connection hole, the connection terminal is fixed in the circuit, and the fuse can be connected to the circuit.

[0004] In most cases, when tightening the power bolts, operators do not use tools such as torque wrenches that can quantify the torque. That is, operators mainly rely on feel to tighten the power bolts. In order to prevent the power bolts from loosening, most operators are accustomed to tightening the power bolts completely. Over-tightening the power bolts will cause a large degree of deformation of the connecting terminals, and the ultrasonic welding position is prone to loosening, eventually causing the connection terminal and the insulating shell to completely lose the limit, or even break the fuse, posing a great safety risk.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing fuse to solve the problem that the limit between the connection terminal and the insulating housing is easily invalidated due to excessive tightening force of the power connection bolt.

[0013] Optionally, the positioning boss is cylindrical, and the limiting boss is rectangular.

[0014] Optionally, an anti-pull bar is further provided on a side of the limiting boss away from the corresponding connecting terminal;

[0015] The middle position of the anti-pull barrier strip is connected to the melt and the connecting terminal, and an accommodating groove for accommodating the corresponding limiting protrusion is formed between the end position and the connecting terminal.

[0016] Optionally, the accommodating groove is an open groove with a U-shaped structure.

[0017] Optionally, the accommodating groove is a sealing groove with a rectangular structure.

[0018] Optionally, the melt is provided with a plurality of hollow holes.

[0039] The utility model provides a convex column type fuse, which is suitable for providing application scenarios such as overcurrent protection. It can effectively solve the problem that the limit between the connection terminal and the insulating shell is easily invalidated due to excessive tightening force of the power connection bolt.

[0040] See also Figure 1 The protruding column fuse provided in this embodiment includes a conductive component 1 and an insulating shell 2.

[0041] The conductive component 1 includes two connecting terminals 101 and a fuse 102 electrically connecting the two connecting terminals 101. The fuse 102 is provided with a plurality of hollow holes 1021, and the positions of the hollow holes 1021 are preset overcurrent fuse positions.

[0042] The adjacent ends of the two connecting terminals 101 are each provided with a plurality of positioning holes 1011. The insulating housing 2 comprises two opposing insulating half-shells 201 (one upper half and one lower half), which cooperate to cover the fuse 102 and the positioning holes 1011 of the two connecting terminals 101. The two insulating half-shells 201 are fastened together by rivets. Accordingly, the connecting terminals 101 are provided with rivet holes 1012 for the rivets to pass through and power connection holes 1013 for the power connection bolts to pass through.

[0043] One of the insulating half shells 201 (lower half shell) is provided with a positioning boss 2011 inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 1011 at a position corresponding to each positioning hole 1011; the insulating half shell 201 provided with the positioning boss 2011 is also provided with a plurality of limiting bosses 2012, each of the limiting bosses 2012 abuts against the end faces of the two connecting terminals 101 approaching each other, and is used to limit the two connecting terminals 101 from approaching each other.

[0044] In the convex column type fuse provided in this embodiment, the positioning column is inserted into the positioning hole 1011 to realize the preliminary positioning between the connecting terminal 101 and the insulating housing 2. When the connecting bolt is tightened to cause a certain deformation of the connecting terminal 101, a certain relative movement can occur between the positioning column and the positioning hole 1011 due to the plug-in connection between the positioning column and the positioning hole 1011. Therefore, the problem of the ultrasonic welding spot falling off and causing the limit failure will not occur. Furthermore, each of the limiting projections 2012 abuts against the end faces of the two connecting terminals 101 that are close to each other, which can On the basis of the positioning boss 2011, the two connecting terminals 101 are further restricted from approaching each other to prevent the connecting terminal 101 from displacing inward when deformed and squeezing the melt 102, causing the melt 102 to break. A certain relative displacement can also occur between the limiting boss 2012 and the connecting terminal 101. When the connecting terminal 101 is deformed by tightening the power bolt, the end face of the connecting terminal 101 will slide to a certain extent relative to the limiting boss 2012, and there is no problem of forcibly breaking the ultrasonic welding point to cause the limit failure.

[0045] Therefore, the protruding column fuse provided by the present invention can effectively solve the problem that the limit between the connecting terminal 101 and the insulating housing 2 is easily invalidated due to excessive tightening force of the power connection bolt.

[0046] In this embodiment, the end surface area of ​​the positioning protrusion 2011 is smaller than the end surface area of ​​the limiting protrusion 2012. The positioning protrusion 2011 needs to be inserted into the positioning hole 1011, which is provided on the connecting terminal 101. Due to the size limitation of the connecting terminal 101, the size of the positioning hole 1011 is relatively small, and therefore the size of the positioning protrusion 2011 is also relatively small. In order to avoid the structural strength of the positioning protrusion 2011 being insufficient, which would lead to a reduction in the limiting reliability between the connecting terminal 101 and the insulating housing 2, the limiting protrusion 2012 with a larger end surface area is provided for secondary limiting, thereby improving the limiting reliability between the connecting terminal 101 and the insulating housing 2.

[0047] Furthermore, the positioning boss 2011 is cylindrical, and the limiting boss 2012 is rectangular. The cylindrical positioning boss 2011 is easily inserted into the positioning hole 1011, reducing the difficulty of alignment; while the rectangular limiting boss 2012 provides a large and flat contact surface for the connecting terminal 101, thereby improving the reliability of the contact between the limiting boss 2012 and the connecting terminal 101.

[0048] Optionally, a pull-proof bar 103 is further provided on the side of the limiting protrusion 2012 away from the corresponding connecting terminal 101; the middle portion of the pull-proof bar 103 connects the fuse 102 and the connecting terminal 101, and a receiving groove 104 for accommodating the corresponding limiting protrusion 2012 is formed between the end portion and the connecting terminal 101. The pull-proof bar 103 can limit the two connecting terminals 101 from moving away from each other, thereby preventing the connecting terminal 101 from breaking the fuse 102 during deformation.

[0049] Optional, see Figure 2 , the accommodating groove 104 is an open groove of U-shaped structure; or, see Figure 3 The receiving groove 104 is a sealed groove with a rectangular structure. When the receiving groove 104 is a sealed groove, the connection reliability between the anti-pull barrier strip 103 and the connection terminal 101 is further improved.

[0050] In summary, the protruding column fuse provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0051] ① Reliable limiting: Through the dual limiting effect of the positioning boss 2011 and the limiting boss 2012, the limiting failure problem caused by excessive tightening force of the power connection bolt is effectively solved, thereby improving the safety performance of the fuse.

[0052] ② Easy maintenance: Due to the design of the positioning boss 2011 and the limiting boss 2012, the connecting terminal 101 and the insulating housing 2 can be disassembled for maintenance, which reduces the difficulty of maintenance.

[0053] ③ Anti-pull-off protection: The optional anti-pull-off bar 103 design effectively prevents the connection terminal 101 from pulling off the fuse 102 during deformation, further improving the reliability of the fuse.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. All technical solutions generated by replacing or modifying equivalent structures or equivalent processes based on the essential concepts of this application using the contents recorded in the specification and drawings of this application, as well as directly or indirectly implementing the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, are included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
