Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical protection, in particular to a PCB board-mounted T1+T2 type lightning protection module. Background Art

[0002] Surge protection is the process of preventing a surge in a circuit from damaging the insulation of electronic equipment when the surge exceeds the normal operating voltage of the electronic equipment on the circuit, causing the charge on the circuit to discharge along an abnormal path, resulting in overcurrent, short circuit, and other phenomena inside the electronic equipment, ultimately leading to damage to the electronic equipment.

[0003] Patent CN 221328597 U discloses a new photovoltaic PCB-type power surge protector, which features a trip point formed by welding a trip spring to a trip point.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment:

[0031] This embodiment provides a PCB board-mounted T1+T2 type lightning protection module, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown,

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the pressure-sensitive component 7 is mounted and fixed on the back of the inner shell 2. The front of the pressure-sensitive component 7 is provided with a pressure-sensitive electrode A14, and the back is provided with a pressure-sensitive electrode B15. The pressure-sensitive electrode A14 is provided with a trip pin 6. The trip pin 6 passes through the inner shell 2 and is connected to the trip electrode 3. The pressure-sensitive electrode B15 is connected to the pin B4.

[0034] The trip pin 6 is provided with a socket 19; the trip electrode 3 is provided with a plug 20; the plug 20 provided on the trip electrode 3 is inserted into the socket 19 on the trip pin 6, and the plug is connected by soldering to form a trip point;

[0035] The tripping electrode 3 is mounted on the sliding block 5 and can slide synchronously with the sliding block 5 ; the tripping electrode 3 is also connected to the pin A8 via a copper braid 16 .

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the sliding block 5 is provided with a mounting groove 17 for mounting the tripping electrode 3 ; the upper and lower ends of the tripping electrode 3 are both provided with snap pieces 21 ; the tripping electrode 3 is mounted and engaged in the mounting groove 17 through the snap pieces 21 .

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a spring A11 and a spring B12 are further included; the spring A11 and the spring B12 are arranged side by side, respectively located above and below the trip electrode 3; one end of the spring A11 and the spring B12 are both connected to the inner shell 2, and the other end is connected to the sliding block 5, so that the sliding block 5 can slide away after the trip point is melted, thereby separating the trip pin 6 from the trip electrode 3.

[0038] Further, in the embodiment, remote signaling pin B9 and remote signaling pin A10 are also included; the remote signaling pin B9 and the remote signaling pin A10 are arranged at the lower part of the inner shell 2, and when the tripping pin 6 is not disconnected from the tripping electrode 3, the remote signaling pin B9 and the remote signaling pin A10 are pressed and connected to each other by the sliding block 5; when the tripping pin 6 is disconnected from the tripping electrode 3, the sliding block 5 slides away and no longer presses the remote signaling pin B9 and the remote signaling pin A10, and the remote signaling pin B9 and the remote signaling pin A10 are separated from each other.

[0039] Further, in the embodiment, the inner shell 2 is provided with a guide mechanism 18 matched with the sliding block 5, so that the sliding block 5 can slide horizontally after the tripping pin 6 is disconnected from the tripping electrode 3, and will not fall off or be stuck.

[0040] Further, in the embodiment, the outer shell 1 is provided with an alarm window 13, and the sliding block 5 has a conspicuous feature, so that the user can see the sliding block 5 from the alarm window 13, and thus determine whether the tripping pin 6 is disconnected from the tripping electrode 3.

[0041] Further, in the embodiment, the outer shell 1 is provided with an alarm window 13, and the sliding block 5 is provided with a conspicuous color, so that the user can see the sliding block 5 from the alarm window 13, and thus determine whether the tripping pin 6 is disconnected from the tripping electrode 3; after the sliding block 5 moves, the user can know it by checking the alarm window 13, and thus replace it in time.

[0042] Further, in the embodiment, the outer shell 1 is provided with an alarm window 13, and the sliding block 5 is provided with a conspicuous color, so that the user can see the sliding block 5 from the alarm window 13, and thus determine whether the tripping pin 6 is disconnected from the tripping electrode 3; after the sliding block 5 moves, the user can know it by checking the alarm window 13, and thus replace it in time.

[0043] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:

[0044] In normal operation, the sliding block 5 is located at the position as shown in FIG. 4, and when the connection between the tripping pin 6 and the tripping electrode 3 is not fused, the remote signaling pin B9 and the remote signaling pin A10 are buckled to each other under the pressure of the sliding block 5. Figure 2 Since the tripping pin 6 extends from the pressure-sensitive electrode A7 and is not directly attached to the pressure-sensitive assembly 7, the tripping pin 6 is less affected by the heat of the pressure-sensitive assembly 7, and can support a larger conduction current; and the tripping pin 6 and the tripping electrode 3 are connected by through-welding, which can ensure the firmness of the connection when there is no overcurrent overheating.

[0045] When overcurrent and overheating faults occur, the low-temperature tin soldering connection between the tripping pin 6 and the tripping electrode 3 will be fused, and the sliding block 5 will move to the position as shown in FIG. 5 under the action of the spring A11 and the spring B12. Figure 3The position shown in the figure drives the trip electrode 3 and the trip pin 6 to separate in a straight line, achieving the maximum distance separation in the minimum space, avoiding the adhesion and conduction of the chemical liquid. At the same time, this separation method enables the trip electrode 3 and the trip pin 6 to be welded with a larger area, further meeting the large flow demand.

[0046] When the sliding block 5 is in the position Figure 3 When in the position shown, the remote signal pin B9 and the remote signal pin A10 will no longer be restricted by the sliding block 5, the remote signal pin A10 will be lifted by the step of the inner shell 2, the remote signal pin B9 and the remote signal pin A10 will be separated, thereby issuing a remote signal alarm.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or techniques or knowledge in the relevant fields. Modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be within the scope of protection of the appended claims.
