Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fuse, in particular to a full-range protection fuse. Background Art

[0002] Fuses, commonly known as "fuse links," are key overcurrent protection components in power systems and are widely used in power distribution and control systems. Their primary function is to prevent damage caused by short circuits and overloads. The current mainstream thermal fuse structure includes components such as an insulating tube, terminals, a cover, a fuse element, and an arc-extinguishing medium. Its operating principle is based on the thermal effect of current: at rated voltage, heat is generated when current flows through the fuse element. When the heat accumulates to a specific area of ​​the fuse element (i.e., the narrow diameter) and reaches the melting point, this area will melt and disconnect the circuit, thereby quickly cutting off the fault current and protecting the system.

[0003] According to the different protection capabilities, fuses can be divided into two categories:

[0004] Full-range protection fuses (Class G fuses): Suitable for low overload and small interrupting current scenarios. Although they can provide comprehensive protection, their interrupting capacity is limited, generally not exceeding 100kA.

[0005] Partial range protection fuses (Class A fuses): They are good at handling large breaking currents up to 300kA, but they are not good at protecting small overload currents below 5 times, and there is a protection blind spot.

[0006] In view of the limitations of the above two types of fuses, there is an urgent need for an all-round fuse that can cover the full range of overload currents (including small and large multiples) and achieve effective disconnection to meet the complex and changing power protection needs. Utility Model Content

[0012] An electromagnetic coil is provided in the end cover, one end of the electromagnetic coil is connected to the wiring terminal, and the other end is connected to the switching mechanism;

[0013] When the connecting terminal is connected to the short-circuit current, the short-circuit current passes through the electromagnetic coil and the switching mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the switching mechanism includes a push plate, and short-circuit steps and overload steps distributed on both sides of the push plate; the short-circuit steps are connected to the short-circuit welding plate, and the overload steps are connected to the overload welding plate;

[0015] In the initial state, the push plate is connected to the overload step;

[0016] When the connecting terminal is connected to a short-circuit current, the short-circuit current passes through the electromagnetic coil and the push plate. The electromagnetic coil drives the push plate to separate from the overload step and connect to the short-circuit step, switching the overload fuse to the short-circuit fuse, and the short-circuit fuse disconnects the short-circuit current.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of convex hulls are provided on both sides of the push plate; one side of the push plate can be connected to the short-circuit step through the plurality of convex hulls, and the other side can be connected to the overload step through the plurality of convex hulls.

[0022] The baffle is provided with an overload fuse mounting hole and a short-circuit fuse mounting hole, the overload fuse mounting hole is provided with an overload fuse cover plate, and the short-circuit fuse mounting hole is provided with a short-circuit fuse cover plate;

[0023] The overload welding plate is installed on the overload fuse cover plate, and the short-circuit welding plate is installed on the short-circuit fuse cover plate.

[0024] Furthermore, the overload fuse includes two overload melt connecting plates located inside the tube body and connected to the overload welding plate, a plurality of overload melts distributed in parallel are provided between the two overload melt connecting plates, and a plurality of tinning grooves are provided on the overload melts;

[0027] Furthermore, the overload melt and the short-circuit melt are both provided with narrow portions;

[0028] When the overload current passes through the overload fuse, the narrow part of the overload fuse melts and generates an arc. The quartz sand is heated by the arc and melts to extinguish the arc. The overload current is a current that is more than five times but less than the rated working current of the overload fuse.

[0029] When the short-circuit current passes through the short-circuit fuse, the narrow part of the short-circuit fuse melts and generates an arc, and the quartz sand is heated by the arc and melts to extinguish the arc; the short-circuit current is five times or more of the rated working current of the overload fuse.

[0030] Furthermore, a base is installed between the two overload fuse cover plates and between the two short-circuit fuse cover plates. The base is provided with elastic indicator particles for indicating the blowing of the overload fuse and the short-circuit fuse.

[0031] Furthermore, the overload fuse cover plate and the short-circuit fuse cover plate are both provided with sand filling holes, and plugs are installed in the sand filling holes.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The full-range protection fuse provided by the utility model integrates a short-circuit fuse and an overload fuse in a fuse tube. When the connection terminal is connected to the rated working current and the overload current (a current five times the rated working current and below), the overload fuse is connected to the circuit. When the connection terminal is connected to the short-circuit current (a current five times the rated working current and above), the Ampere force generated by the electromagnetic coil pushes the push plate to separate from the overload step and contact with the short-circuit step, thereby connecting the short-circuit fuse to the circuit. The fuse is thus suitable for disconnecting currents with overloads of different multiples. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a full-range protection fuse is used in circuits with complex working conditions, where both low-overload currents (overload currents) and large interruption fault short-circuit currents (short-circuit currents) may occur in the circuit; it includes a fuse tube 1, and both ends of the fuse tube 1 are provided with end caps 2 with connection terminals 3;

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, an overload fuse 4 and a short-circuit fuse 5 are provided in the melting tube 1. Both ends of the overload fuse 4 are provided with an overload welding plate 41, and both ends of the short-circuit fuse 5 are provided with a short-circuit welding plate 51.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a switching mechanism 6 is slidably installed between the short-circuit welding plate 51 and the overload welding plate 41 located in the same end cover 2. The switching mechanism 6 includes a push plate 61, and a short-circuit step 62 and an overload step 63 distributed on both sides of the push plate 61; the short-circuit step 62 is connected to the short-circuit welding plate 51, and the overload step 63 is connected to the overload welding plate 41;

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in the initial state, the push plate 61 is connected to the overload step 63; when the rated working current of the overload fuse 4 is connected to the connecting terminal 3, and when the overload current (a current greater than or equal to but less than five times the rated working current of the overload fuse 4) passes through the electromagnetic coil 7 and the push plate 61, the electromagnetic coil 7 generates a constant magnetic field, which generates an Ampere force (left-hand rule) on the energized push plate 61 in the direction of the overload fuse 43. At this time, the current is small, and the Ampere force is insufficient to drive the push plate 61.

[0043] When the connecting terminal 3 is connected to a short-circuit current (a current five times or more of the rated working current of the overload fuse 4), the short-circuit current passes through the electromagnetic coil 7 and the push plate 61, the magnetic field strength generated by the electromagnetic coil 7 increases, and the Ampere force generated on the energized push plate 61 increases. The electromagnetic coil 7 can drive the push plate 61 to separate from the overload step 63 and connect it to the short-circuit step 62 through the Ampere force, switching the overload fuse 4 to the short-circuit fuse 5, and the short-circuit fuse 5 will disconnect the short-circuit current.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to achieve stable electrical connection between the push plate 61 and the short-circuit step 62 and the overload step 63, multiple convex bumps 64 are provided on both sides of the push plate 61; one side of the push plate 61 can be connected to the short-circuit step 62 through the multiple convex bumps 64, and the other side can be connected to the overload step 63 through the multiple convex bumps 64.

The short-circuit step 62 is mounted in the slide groove 8 of the short-circuit welding plate 51, and the overload step 63 is mounted in the slide groove 8 of the overload welding plate 41. The push plate 61 slides between the short-circuit welding plate 51 and the overload welding plate 41 through the slide groove 8 of the short-circuit welding plate 51 and the slide groove 8 of the overload welding plate 41. The slide groove 8 can limit the sliding direction of the push plate 61 between the short-circuit welding plate 51 and the overload welding plate 41.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to achieve the installation and fixation of the electromagnetic coil 7 and enable the electromagnetic coil 7 to push the push plate 61 to slide in the slide groove 8 when a short-circuit current passes through, a fixing plate 21 is provided on the inner wall of the end cover 2, which is located on the side of the overload step 63 away from the short-circuit step 62, and the electromagnetic coil 7 is fixed on the fixing plate 21.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the overload fuse 4 includes two overload melt connecting plates 42 located inside the tube body 11 and connected to the overload welding plate 41, and a plurality of parallel distributed overload melts 43 are arranged between the two overload melt connecting plates 42, and a plurality of tin-enameling grooves 44 are opened on the overload melt 43; the tin-enameling grooves 44 are opened on the overload melt 43 to facilitate the addition of tin into the tin-enameling grooves 44, and the M effect point is used to reduce the melting point of the overload melt 43 at the tin-enameling grooves 44. After adding tin, the overload melt 43 is suitable for a current of more than five times but less than the rated working current of the overload fuse 4.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the short-circuit fuse 5 includes two short-circuit melt connecting plates 52 located inside the tube body 11 and connected to the short-circuit welding plate 51, and a plurality of parallel short-circuit melts 53 are provided between the two short-circuit melt connecting plates 52; the melting tube 1 is filled with quartz sand for covering the overload melt 43 and the short-circuit melt 53.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to enable the overload fuse 43 and the short-circuit fuse 53 to melt within a specified time to achieve current interruption, a narrow portion 9 is provided on the overload fuse 43 and the short-circuit fuse 53; when the overload current passes through the overload fuse 43, the narrow portion 9 of the overload fuse 43 melts and generates an arc, and the quartz sand is heated by the arc and melts to extinguish the arc; when the short-circuit current passes through the short-circuit fuse 53, the narrow portion 9 of the short-circuit fuse 53 melts and generates an arc, and the quartz sand is heated by the arc and melts to extinguish the arc.
