Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal protector technology, and in particular to a sealed thermal protector. Background Technology

[0002] A thermal protector is a temperature-sensitive device that interrupts the circuit when the temperature of equipment or components exceeds a predefined limit. It serves as a safety mechanism to prevent equipment from overheating and reduce the risk of fire.

[0003] Thermal protectors are typically composed of a thermal relay and an AC contactor, with the thermal relay connected to the AC contactor for use. However, the following problems arise during use:

[0004] First, the encoder, reset button, and disconnect button on the thermal relay are all adjustable. Without a protective structure, the protection effect of the protector can be easily affected.

[0005] Meanwhile, the traditional connection between old-fashioned thermal relays and AC contactors is mainly through signal lines. However, this wiring method is not only prone to loosening at the terminals, but also slow in wiring efficiency.

[0006] In addition, thermal protectors are usually installed by using multiple fastening bolts to fix them to the wall or cabinet. Once fixed, they are difficult to disassemble and inconvenient to replace. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a sealed thermal protector, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and effectively solves the problems of poor protection effect, slow wiring efficiency and inconvenient replacement.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A sealed thermal protector includes a thermal relay and an AC contactor. A transparent protective cover is hinged to one side of the outer wall of the thermal relay, and a buckle is provided on one side of the outer wall of the transparent protective cover. Symmetrically distributed anti-slip strips are provided on one side of the outer wall of the thermal relay.

[0010] A first magnetic sheet is adhered to the outer wall of the thermal relay on the other side, and a second magnetic sheet is adhered to the outer wall of the AC contactor on one side, with the first and second magnetic sheets being magnetically connected.

[0011] The other side of the AC contactor has symmetrically distributed inner grooves, and the inner wall of the inner groove is fitted with a clip, and a fixing plate is welded to the outer wall of one side of the clip.

[0012] Preferably, both anti-slip strips are tightly attached to the inner wall of the transparent protective cover.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the thermal relay is connected to equally spaced input terminals, and the outer wall of the AC contactor is provided with equally spaced wiring ports, with the input terminals inserted into the inner wall of the wiring ports.

[0014] Preferably, a code disk is provided on one side of the outer wall of the thermal relay.

[0015] Preferably, a reset disconnect button is provided on one side of the outer wall of the thermal relay, located on the side of the encoder disk.

[0016] Preferably, the outer wall of the thermal relay on one side is provided with equally spaced output terminals located at the bottom of the code disk.

[0017] Preferably, the top outer wall of the AC contactor is screwed with locking knobs that are evenly distributed.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom outer wall of the AC contactor has symmetrically distributed mounting grooves.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. The sealed thermal protector in this design has a transparent protective cover installed on the thermal relay. The transparent protective cover can effectively protect the code disk and reset disconnect button, ensuring the stability of the thermal protector during operation. In addition, the anti-slip strip adheres to the transparent protective cover to prevent it from shaking. The transparent protective cover can be easily opened by pressing the strip, making it easy to operate.

[0021] 2. The sealed thermal protector designed in this way can achieve signal connection by utilizing the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic sheets between the thermal relay and the AC contactor after the input terminal is inserted into the wiring port. It not only has a stable structure and is not easy to loosen at the wiring terminal, but also improves the wiring efficiency.

[0022] 3. The sealed thermal protector of this design has a fixing plate that can be pre-fixed to the wall or cabinet. The AC contactor is fixed by snapping the inner groove on the card slot. The thermal protector can be removed by simply separating the inner groove and the card slot. Disassembly is very convenient. Attached Figure Description

Symmetrically distributed anti-slip strips 5 are provided on one side of the outer wall of the thermal relay 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, a transparent protective cover 3 is installed on the thermal relay 1. The transparent protective cover 3 can effectively protect the code disk 13 and the reset disconnect button 14, ensuring the stability of the thermal protector during operation. In addition, the anti-slip strip 5 adheres to the transparent protective cover 3 to prevent it from shaking. The buckle 4 can be used to easily open the transparent protective cover 3, making the operation convenient.

[0030] Example 2, refer to Figure 2-3 A sealed thermal protector, wherein a first magnetic sheet 6 is bonded to the outer wall of the thermal relay 1 on the other side, and a second magnetic sheet 7 is bonded to the outer wall of the AC contactor 2 on one side, and the first magnetic sheet 6 and the second magnetic sheet 7 are magnetically connected.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the input terminal 8 is inserted into the wiring port 9, the signal connection can be achieved by utilizing the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic piece 6 and the second magnetic piece 7 between the thermal relay 1 and the AC contactor 2. This not only ensures structural stability and prevents the wiring terminal from becoming loose, but also improves wiring efficiency.

[0032] Example 3, referring to Figure 2-3 A sealed thermal protector, wherein the outer wall of the AC contactor 2 is provided with symmetrically distributed inner grooves 10, and the inner wall of the inner grooves 10 is fitted with a retaining plate 11, and a fixing plate 12 is welded to the outer wall of one side of the retaining plate 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 12 can be pre-fixed to the wall or cabinet. The AC contactor 2 is fixed by snapping the inner groove 10 on the card slot 11. The thermal protector can be removed by simply separating the inner groove 10 and the card slot 11. Disassembly is very convenient.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 Both anti-slip strips 5 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the transparent protective cover 3.

[0035] Reference Figure 2-3 The outer wall of the thermal relay 1 is connected to equally spaced input terminals 8, and the outer wall of the AC contactor 2 is provided with equally spaced wiring ports 9, with the input terminals 8 inserted into the inner wall of the wiring ports 9.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 A code disk 13 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the thermal relay 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 A reset disconnect button 14 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the thermal relay 1, located on one side of the encoder 13.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The outer wall of one side of the thermal relay 1 is provided with equally spaced output terminals 15 located at the bottom of the code disk 13.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 The bottom outer wall of the AC contactor 2 has symmetrically distributed mounting grooves 17.

[0041] Working principle: First, the fixing plate 12 can be fixed to the wall or cabinet. Then, the inner groove 10 on the AC contactor 2 is snapped onto the card slot 11. Since a transparent protective cover 3 is installed on the thermal relay 1, the transparent protective cover 3 can effectively protect the code disk 13 and the reset disconnect button 14. The anti-slip strip 5 adheres to the transparent protective cover 3 to prevent it from shaking. At the same time, the buckle 4 can be used to easily open the transparent protective cover 3. After the wire terminal 8 is inserted into the wiring port 9, the signal connection can be achieved by using the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic piece 6 and the second magnetic piece 7 between the thermal relay 1 and the AC contactor 2.
