[0002] The voltage generated by a car's alternator fluctuates with vehicle speed and is not constant. However, to ensure the car battery receives a stable 12V voltage, a regulator is required to adjust and control the alternator's output voltage. After extensive research, publication number CN202009308U disclosed a car alternator regulator that is suitable for harsh operating environments, including high and low temperatures, and offers excellent electrical conductivity and a long service life.

[0003] In the existing technology, when the generator regulator is in use, the lead electrode of the regulating device and the electrode sheet are fixed by conductive screws, and the hollow rivet and the carbon brush wire are fixed by screws, thereby improving the conductivity and improving the adaptability to the environment. However, if the temperature suddenly rises, the structural improvement cannot meet the needs of cooling and heat dissipation. At the same time, when the generator fails, the power cannot be cut off in time, which will cause damage to the electrical equipment, and thus there are certain safety hazards. Therefore, a generator regulator with a fault insurance function is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a generator regulator with a fault insurance function, comprising a box body, an adjuster fixedly installed in the box body, a circuit breaker fixedly installed on the top of the adjuster, a cooling groove fixedly installed in the box body below the adjuster, heat dissipation holes are provided on the back and top of the cooling groove, the left side of the cooling groove adopts an open structure design, and the top of the cooling groove does not contact the bottom of the adjuster.

[0006] Preferably, the housing includes a mounting frame, with a left panel fixedly mounted on the left side of the mounting frame, a right panel fixedly mounted on the right side of the mounting frame, and a panel fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting frame. This modular design facilitates assembly and maintenance of the entire generator regulator. The mounting frame serves as the core support structure, ensuring stable installation of all components; the left and right panels not only provide protection but also optimize heat dissipation through carefully designed heat dissipation holes; and the panel provides the user interface, making the entire device more user-friendly.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a slot on the backside, into which a cooling fan is embedded. The lower front half of the cooling fan is located behind the cooling trough, and the upper front half of the cooling fan is located behind the regulator. A power-off button passes through a hole in the upper portion of the back side of the mounting bracket. This design ensures that the cooling fan effectively cools the regulator and cooling trough without interfering with the normal operation of other components. Furthermore, the power-off button provides a means for users to quickly cut off the power supply in an emergency, enhancing the safety of the device.

[0008] Preferably, the left panel has a heat dissipation hole, the location of which matches the opening on the left side of the cooling trough. A slot is formed on the left panel above the heat dissipation hole, through which a power inlet socket passes.

The design matches the heat dissipation hole with the opening of the cooling trough, ensuring smooth exhaust of hot air and improving heat dissipation efficiency. The provision of the power inlet socket provides a convenient power interface for users. At the same time, it is electrically connected to the power off button and the incoming line terminal of the circuit breaker, ensuring the reliability and safety of the circuit.

[0009] Preferably, a slot is formed above the right panel surface, through which a cable outlet is inserted. This outlet is electrically connected to the circuit breaker's outlet.

Upon receiving this signal, the circuit breaker immediately disconnects the circuit, effectively preventing further escalation of the fault and protecting electrical equipment. The regulator also sends fault information to a display screen, which clearly displays the fault type and location, enabling maintenance personnel to quickly locate and resolve the issue. As an additional safety measure, the device is equipped with a power-off button. In an emergency, the operator can manually disconnect the circuit by pressing the power-off button, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. This design further enhances the device's emergency response capabilities.

[0015] In summary, this fail-safe generator regulator, through the coordinated operation of its built-in temperature sensor, cooling fan, circuit breaker, and display, achieves rapid cooling when ambient temperatures rise and timely power outages in the event of a generator failure. These designs not only enhance the device's reliability and safety but also provide users with a more convenient and intelligent operating experience.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the utility model provides an embodiment: a generator regulator with a fault insurance function, including a box body 1, an adjuster 9 is fixedly installed in the box body 1, a circuit breaker 91 is fixedly installed on the top of the adjuster 9, a cooling groove 131 is fixedly installed in the box body 1 below the adjuster 9, and heat dissipation holes are provided on the back and top of the cooling groove 131. The left side of the cooling groove 131 adopts an open structure design, and the top of the cooling groove 131 does not contact the bottom of the adjuster 9.

[0023] Specifically, when the ambient temperature rises, the device can quickly start the cooling mechanism. This is due to the temperature sensor integrated inside the adjuster 9, which can monitor the ambient temperature in real time. Once the ambient temperature reaches the preset threshold, the sensor will immediately send a signal to the adjuster 9. After receiving this signal, the adjuster 9 will quickly activate the cooling fan 7. The cooling fan 7 starts to run, effectively inhaling external cold air through the cooling holes on the back of the cooling tank 131 and the cooling holes on the left side panel 11, and discharging the hot air around the adjuster 9 and the cooling tank 131. This design not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also ensures the stable operation of the device in a high temperature environment. When the temperature drops to a safe range, the adjuster 9 will automatically turn off the cooling fan 7, thereby realizing intelligent temperature control;

[0024] In the event of a generator failure, the device can quickly disconnect the circuit, protecting electrical equipment. Regulator 9 not only monitors the ambient temperature but also continuously monitors the generator's operating status, including key parameters such as voltage and current. If the generator experiences abnormalities such as excessively high or low voltage or unstable current, regulator 9 immediately detects these fault signals. Upon determining a generator failure, regulator 9 quickly sends a signal to circuit breaker 91 to disconnect the circuit. Upon receiving this signal, circuit breaker 91 immediately disconnects the circuit, effectively preventing further escalation of the fault and protecting electrical equipment from damage. Regulator 9 also sends fault information to display screen 4, which clearly displays the fault type and location, enabling maintenance personnel to quickly locate and resolve the issue. Furthermore, the device is equipped with a power-off button 6 as an additional safety measure. In an emergency, the operator can manually disconnect the circuit by pressing power-off button 6, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. This design further enhances the device's emergency response capabilities.

[0025] In summary, this fail-safe generator regulator, through the coordinated operation of components such as the built-in temperature sensor, cooling fan 7, circuit breaker 91, and display screen 4, achieves rapid cooling when the ambient temperature rises and timely power outage in the event of a generator failure. These designs not only improve the device's reliability and safety, but also provide users with a more convenient and intelligent operating experience. Therefore, this device has significant advantages and application value in the field of generator regulator technology.

[0026] Example 2: In order to make the assembly and maintenance of the entire generator regulator more convenient, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 1 includes a mounting frame 13. A left panel 11 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the mounting frame 13, a right panel 14 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the mounting frame 13, and a panel 12 is fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting frame 13. This modular design facilitates assembly and maintenance of the entire generator regulator. The mounting frame 13 serves as the core support structure, ensuring stable installation of all components. The left and right panels 11 and 14 not only provide protection but also optimize heat dissipation through carefully designed heat dissipation holes. The panel 12 provides the user with an operational interface, making the entire device more user-friendly.

[0027] Furthermore, the back of the mounting frame 13 is slotted and embedded with a cooling fan 7. The lower half of the front side of the cooling fan 7 is located behind the cooling slot 131, and the upper half of the front side of the cooling fan 7 is located behind the regulator 9. A power-off button 6 passes through a hole on one side of the back of the mounting frame 13. This design ensures that the cooling fan 7 effectively cools the regulator 9 and cooling slot 131 without interfering with the normal operation of other components. Furthermore, the placement of the power-off button 6 provides the user with a means to quickly cut off the power in an emergency, enhancing the safety of the device.

[0028] Furthermore, a heat dissipation hole is provided on the left side panel 11, and its location matches the open position on the left side of the cooling slot 131. Above the heat dissipation hole, a slot is provided on the left side panel 11, through which a power inlet socket 5 passes. The power inlet socket 5 is electrically connected to the power off button 6 and the incoming line terminal of the circuit breaker 91. The design matches the heat dissipation hole with the open position of the cooling slot 131, ensuring smooth exhaust of hot air and improving heat dissipation efficiency. The provision of the power inlet socket 5 provides a convenient power interface for the user. At the same time, it is electrically connected to the power off button 6 and the incoming line terminal of the circuit breaker 91, ensuring the reliability and safety of the circuit.

[0029] Furthermore, a slot is formed above the surface of the right side panel 14, through which an outlet socket 8 passes. This socket 8 is electrically connected to the outlet of the circuit breaker 91. This design ensures a stable power output for the user. This simplifies the circuit layout and improves the overall integration and aesthetics of the device.

[0030] Furthermore, a display screen 4 is embedded and mounted in a slot below the front of the panel 12. Display screen 4 is electrically connected to the regulator 9. Above display screen 4, a hole is provided in the panel 12, housing a start switch 2 and a regulating switch 3. Both are electrically connected to the regulator 9. The display screen 4 provides an intuitive user interface and status display, allowing users to keep track of the generator regulator's operating status. The start switch 2 and regulating switch 3 provide convenient operation, allowing users to adjust the generator regulator's operating parameters as needed.

[0031] Example 3: In order to cut off the power supply in time when the generator fails and protect the safety of the electrical equipment, Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the front of the regulator 9 is fixedly connected to the back of the panel 12. The regulator 9 has a built-in temperature sensor that matches the cooling fan 7, and the regulator 9 is electrically connected to the circuit breaker 91. The design of the fixed connection between the front of the regulator 9 and the back of the panel 12 ensures the compactness and stability of the entire device. The built-in temperature sensor monitors the ambient temperature in real time and activates the cooling fan 7 to reduce the temperature as needed. The electrical connection to the circuit breaker 91 ensures that the power supply can be promptly cut off in the event of a generator failure, protecting the safety of electrical equipment.

[0032] When the present invention is in use, the working steps when the temperature rises are as follows: the temperature sensor built into the regulator 9 continuously monitors the temperature of the surrounding environment. When the temperature sensor detects that the ambient temperature reaches a preset threshold, it sends a signal to the regulator 9. After receiving the signal from the temperature sensor, the regulator 9 starts the cooling fan 7. The cooling fan 7 starts running, sucking in external cold air through the cooling holes on the back of the cooling tank 131 and the cooling holes on the left side plate 11, and exhausting the hot air around the regulator 9 and the cooling tank 131, thereby achieving cooling. The temperature sensor continues to monitor the temperature. If the temperature drops to a safe range, the regulator 9 will turn off the cooling fan 7.

[0033] Working steps when the generator fails: The regulator 9 continuously monitors the operating status of the generator, including parameters such as voltage and current. If the generator has conditions such as too high or too low voltage, unstable current, etc., the regulator 9 will immediately detect these abnormalities. After the regulator 9 determines the fault, it will immediately send a signal to the circuit breaker 91. After receiving the signal, the circuit breaker 91 will quickly cut off the circuit to prevent the fault from further expanding and protect the electrical equipment from damage. At the same time, the regulator 9 will send the fault information to the display screen 4. The display screen 4 will display the type and location of the fault so that maintenance personnel can quickly locate and solve the problem. If the fault is serious or requires emergency treatment, the operator can manually cut off the circuit by pressing the power-off button 6. After the fault is eliminated, the operator can restart the generator regulator by starting the switch 2 and adjusting the switch 3, and adjust it to normal working state. Through the above steps, the device can quickly cool down when the ambient temperature rises, and cut off the power in time when the generator fails, thereby protecting the safe operation of electrical equipment.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.
