Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fuses, and in particular to a fuse that is easy to install. Background Art
[0002] In current power systems, fuses, as key circuit protection components, are widely used in various electrical devices. Their operating principle is that a fuse or other fusible material quickly melts when a current overload occurs, effectively disconnecting the circuit and ensuring circuit safety. When installing a fuse, the guide rail is typically first securely mounted inside the electrical cabinet, and then the base of the fuse is secured to the rail.
[0003] Reference Figure 1 A fuse includes a fuse body 4 having a limit slot 41 at its bottom. The inner walls of this limit slot 41 are respectively provided with a left positioning slot 42 and a right positioning slot 43. The edge of the fuse body 4, adjacent to the left positioning slot 42, is meticulously crafted into a guide surface 44. During installation, one side of the guide rail first smoothly snaps into the right positioning slot 43. Subsequently, the other side, leveraging the guide rail's own elastic deformation, is squeezed and deformed along the guide surface 44. After the deformation is restored, the fuse body securely snaps into the left positioning slot 42, completing the installation.
[0004] However, in practice, this installation mechanism faced a technical challenge: to ensure that the left end of the guide rail could smoothly contact the guide surface and undergo the necessary extrusion deformation, the guide rail needed to be tilted at a large angle during the initial installation. This requirement directly led to the need to enlarge the opening of the right positioning slot and adopt a larger angle to accommodate the installation process. Unfortunately, this design adjustment weakened the retaining effect of the fuse body near the right end of the guide rail, making it prone to shaking on the guide rail when subjected to external forces, affecting its stability and reliability.

[0013] Optionally, a locking plug is fixed on the elastic pressing pad, and a locking slot for the locking plug to be inserted is formed on the bottom side wall of the right locking groove of the shell.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, during the installation process of the elastic pressing pad, the locking plug is simultaneously embedded into the corresponding locking slot, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the elastic pressing pad.
[0015] Optionally, anti-slip grooves are provided on the side surfaces of the elastic pressing pad.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the edge of the guide rail inserted into the right locking groove can be pressed against the anti-slip grooves on the elastic pressing pad, thereby enhancing the contact stability between the edge of the guide rail and the elastic pressing pad.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, reinforcing ribs are provided inside the elastic pressing pad, thereby improving the structural strength of the elastic pressing pad and extending the service life of the elastic pressing pad.
[0019] Optionally, both ends of the reinforcing rib are fixed with bent strips extending to the outside of the elastic pressing pad, and the shell is provided with a positioning slot for inserting the bent strip on the bottom side wall of the right locking groove.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, bent inserts are fixedly provided at both ends of the reinforcing ribs, so during the installation process of the elastic pressing pad, the bent inserts can be inserted into the positioning slots, thereby improving the installation stability of the elastic pressing pad.
