Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature controller technology, and in particular to a novel snap-action temperature protector. Background Technology

[0002] Current charging protection devices for new energy batteries primarily rely on the bimetallic strip principle for temperature protection. These devices typically consist of a base, a silver plate assembly, a bimetallic strip, a moving spring, a moving contact, and a housing. These components are riveted together, ensuring close contact between the moving contact and the silver plate assembly, thus maintaining a conductive circuit. When the battery generates heat during operation, causing the temperature to rise to a preset operating temperature, the housing absorbs the heat and conducts it to the bimetallic strip. The heated bimetallic strip generates internal stress, causing it to bend and deform, pushing the moving contact away from the silver plate assembly. This disconnects the circuit, cuts off the battery power, and protects the battery.

[0003] Existing snap-action temperature protectors function as single-pole single-throw or double-pole double-throw protectors. When the protector trips, it can only disconnect one or two circuits, or connect one or two circuits. It cannot disconnect one circuit while simultaneously connecting another, or connect one circuit while simultaneously disconnecting another. Therefore, a new type of snap-action temperature protector is urgently needed to improve upon these issues. Utility Model Content
