[0039] The utility model Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a structure of an anti-burning and lightning protection device includes a circuit protection device 10, a tripping mechanism 20, an insulating sleeve 30 and a first pin 40, wherein:

[0040] The circuit protection device 10 is one of a discharge tube, a varistor, a transient suppression diode, a resettable fuse, and a thermistor, or a combination of two thereof. In addition to the devices listed above, other overcurrent and overvoltage protection devices may also be used. In this embodiment, the circuit protection device 10 is a combination of a discharge tube and a varistor. The discharge tube and the varistor are used together to provide overvoltage protection. In particular, in surge current protection, the combination of the discharge tube and the varistor can provide the varistor with stronger surge resistance, allowing it to cope with more complex lightning strike application environments with a minimal size. At the same time, it can prevent the varistor from burning due to current flow or power frequency. This combination utilizes the fast response characteristics of the varistor and the high voltage resistance characteristics of the discharge tube, effectively improving the overall protection effect of the lightning protection device.

[0041] The tripping mechanism 20 includes a ceramic box body 21 and a second pin 22 installed in the ceramic box body 21. The ceramic box body 21 is tightly attached to the circuit protection device 10. A welding foot 23 connected to the circuit protection device 10 and capable of transferring heat from the circuit protection device 10 is provided in the ceramic box body 21, and a winding column 24 is provided in the ceramic box body 21 corresponding to the second pin 22. The ceramic material absorbs heat stably and transfers heat, and can effectively transfer the heat generated by the circuit protection device 10 to the welding foot 23. The second pin 22 includes a fixed portion 221, an elastic end 222 connected to both ends of the fixed portion 221, and a stopper end 223. The fixed portion is mounted on the winding column 24, and the elastic end 222 is soldered to the solder leg 23 using low-temperature tin (low-temperature tin has a melting point of 160 degrees Celsius). During soldering, the elastic end 222 is elastically bent to the solder leg 23 for soldering, so the elastic end 222 has elastic stress storage (energy storage). When the low-temperature tin melts, the elastic stress will cause the elastic end 222 to separate from the solder leg 23. The stopper end 223 is clamped to the ceramic box 21 and extends outside the insulating sleeve 30 to provide support for the stored force of the elastic end 222. The second pin 22 as a whole is in the form of a torsion spring. The connection between the elastic end 222 and the solder leg 23 indicates an effective circuit connection, while the separation between the elastic end 222 and the solder leg 23 indicates a failed circuit disconnection. The first pin 40 also extends outside the insulating sleeve 30 in the same direction as the second pin 22.

[0042] A through hole 2114 is provided on the inner side of the ceramic box body 21, and a wire 25 connected to the circuit protection device 10 is provided in the ceramic box body 21; the front end of the wire 25 extends upward from the through hole 2114 to form the soldering foot 23, and the elastic end 222 of the second pin 22 is soldered to the soldering foot 23 by low-temperature tin, so that the first pin 40, the circuit protection device 10, the second pin 22 and the working equipment are electrically connected.

[0043] It should be noted that when the tail end of the wire 25 does not extend outside the insulating sleeve 30, the lightning protection device only has the first pin 40 and the second pin 22. When the rear end of the wire 25 extends outside the insulating sleeve 30 to form the third pin 50 for signal detection, the third pin 50 and the second pin 22 form the signal monitoring terminal.

[0044] The signal monitoring terminal can change the circuit state between the second pin 22 and the third pin 50 when the varistor fails, so that it can be used to monitor whether the varistor is working normally.

[0045] Normal state: When the varistor is operating normally, the second pin 22 is connected to the first pin 40, transmitting the voltage to the rest of the circuit. At this time, the third pin 50 does not participate in the voltage transmission of the circuit, but is used to monitor the state of the varistor.

[0046] Failure state: When the varistor fails due to overvoltage, surge voltage, or aging, the connection between the first pin 40 and the second pin 22 is broken, preventing current from flowing to the rest of the circuit and avoiding further damage. In this case, the circuit state between the second pin 22 and the third pin 50 changes, such as forming an open circuit or a low-impedance path, which can be used to indicate that the varistor has failed.

[0047] This monitoring mechanism can be implemented in the following ways:

[0048] Voltage monitoring: In normal working state, the voltage between the second pin 22 and the third pin 50 is zero or a certain value. When the varistor fails, this voltage value changes, and the state of the varistor can be detected by monitoring this voltage change.

[0049] Current monitoring: When the varistor fails, the current between the second pin 22 and the third pin 50 increases, as the current flows through the third pin 50 to the monitoring circuit, triggering an alarm or protection mechanism.

[0050] Resistance monitoring: By measuring the resistance between the second pin 22 and the third pin 50, it can be detected whether the varistor has failed.

[0051] This signal monitoring mechanism can be connected to an external protection circuit or control system, which automatically cuts off the power supply or triggers other protection measures when the varistor fails, to protect the safety of the circuit and equipment.

[0052] The ceramic box body 21 comprises a base 211 and a cover 212, a plurality of positioning columns 2111 are arranged on the inner side of the base 211, a plurality of positioning holes 2121 are arranged on the cover 212 corresponding to the plurality of positioning columns 2111, and the positioning columns 2111 are inserted into the positioning holes 2121. The through hole 2114 is arranged on the inner side of the base 211, and the accommodation groove 2115 is arranged on the lower surface of the base 211, the accommodation groove 2115 is communicated with the through hole 2114, and the lead wire 25 is located in the accommodation groove 2115.

[0053] The base 211 is provided with an embedded edge 2112 on the top for mating with the cover 212. The embedded edge 2112 is embedded in the inner side of the cover 212. The positioning posts 2111 and positioning holes 2121 cooperate with the embedded edge 2112 to securely connect the base 211 and cover 212. Notches 213 are provided on the embedded edge 2112 and the edge of the cover 212, respectively, for the limiting end 223 of the second pin 22 to extend out. The retaining end of the second pin 22 is retained in the notch 213. The inner side of the cover 212 corresponds to a limiting space 2122 for the second pin 22 when released, limiting the elastic swing of the elastic end 222 of the second pin 22 when it is separated from the solder foot 23. The lower surface of the base 211 is provided with an escape space 2113 , and the through hole 2114 and the accommodating groove 2115 are located in the escape space 2113 , so as to reduce the overall thickness and volume of the lightning protection device.

[0054] The insulating sleeve 30 is wrapped around the outside of the circuit protection device 10 and the tripping mechanism 20. Specifically, the insulating sleeve 30 is formed by coating the outside of the circuit protection device 10 and the ceramic box body 21 with a high-temperature resistant epoxy resin material to avoid insulation problems such as line contact and environmental changes, so that the outside of the device achieves high insulation performance and is suitable for various special environments.

[0055] It should be noted that the attached Figure 12 and 13 In the figure, P1 represents the first pin, P2 represents the second pin, and P3 represents the third pin.

[0056] The working principle of the lightning protection device is as follows: When the circuit protection device 10 encounters a high temperature caused by a lightning strike or when the varistor is abnormal (aging of the varistor, overvoltage or surge voltage), the varistor will continue to heat up. When the temperature reaches the low-temperature tin softening state; the low-temperature tin at the solder pin 23 melts, and the elastic end 222 of the second pin 22 will be disconnected from the solder pin 23 under the drive of its own elastic stress accumulation, thereby being able to disconnect the current in time to prevent the varistor from generating an open flame due to overheating. The first pin 40 and the second pin 22 disconnect the circuit, so that the device connected to the second pin 22 is cut off from the circuit to prevent further damage. If there is a third pin 50, the signal monitoring terminal is formed between the second pin 22 and the third pin 50 to provide timely feedback on the device status to the user.

[0057] The utility model discloses a design emphasis lies in, through the combination of tripping mechanism is combined on the circuit protection device and the whole coating insulation layer forms lightning protection device structure, utilize circuit protection device and heat because of overvoltage, overcurrent and make the soldering pin low temperature tin melt, the elastic end of second pin is driven under the self elasticity stress storage and separates circuit protection device, prevents overheating combustion, avoids simultaneously the electronic equipment of being connected by lightning damage, reaches the effect of preventing combustion, reaches also the grade of lightning protection device.

[0059] First, can adopt the plug-in type or the patch type (SMT) and the circuit board combines, and the whole volume is small, reduces a large amount of plug-in and patch work, reduces the board space.

[0060] Second, tripping mechanism adopts mechanical tripping, and the tripping effect is more safe and reliable.

[0061] Third, adopts high integration, and the selection type is simple and convenient, and the flexibility is strong.
