[0027] Embodiment:

[0028] Figure 1The utility model is a kind of overtemperature overvoltage composite protector device profile schematic diagram, including first metal sheet 1 and second metal sheet 5, ceramic sheet 3 is arranged between the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 5, fuse 6 is arranged inside the ceramic sheet 3, and the both ends of the fuse 6 are respectively in conductive contact with the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 5;

[0029] The ceramic sheet 3 is provided with a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32, the first cavity 31 is provided with an air cavity 33, and the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 are respectively in contact with the fuse 6.

[0030] Wherein, the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic sheet 3 are respectively provided with a first surface metal layer 2 and a second surface metal layer 4, the first surface metal layer 2 is in contact with the first metal sheet 1, the second surface metal layer 4 is in contact with the second metal sheet 5, the first metal sheet 1 and the second metal sheet 5 can be made of copper or other metals, the second metal sheet 5 serves as a support, and the first metal sheet 1 serves as an electrode sheet and is applied to a chip. The both ends of the fuse 6 are respectively in contact with the first surface metal layer 2 and the second surface metal layer 4. The TVS chip 7 is connected to the first metal sheet 1 through a metal layer, and the TVS chip 7 is also connected with a copper electrode 8 through a metal layer.

[0031] The first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 are both annular, and the inner ring edges of the two cavities are both in communication with the cavity for accommodating the fuse, so that the molten material enters the two cavities after the fuse is fused, and the two cavities both have a certain height to form a cavity. The first cavity 31 is located above the second cavity 32 and receives the fuse that is fused at the upper part and the lower part respectively. Compared with the case where one cavity is provided, the two cavities of the utility model can quickly collect molten material and prevent the molten material from flowing into one cavity to cause accumulation, so as to quickly form an open circuit. The volume of the first cavity 31 is greater than that of the second cavity 32, which can accommodate more molten material and facilitate the rapid flow of molten material to quickly form an open circuit.

[0032] In addition, a plurality of cavities can be arranged according to the cross-sectional size and height of the fuse, and the plurality of cavities are arranged in sequence from high to low, which can receive molten material at different positions at different heights and facilitate the rapid formation of an open circuit.

[0033] In other embodiments, each cavity is connected by a channel, so that the molten material accumulated in the upper cavity can flow downward, improving the volume utilization rate of the cavity (not shown).

[0034] When the current is too large, the fuse is heated, the temperature reaches the melting point of the fuse, the fuse is fused, the melt flows into the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32, and the two cavities can respectively receive the upper and lower segments of the melt, the upper segment enters the first cavity 31 after being fused, and the lower segment enters the second cavity 32, so that the melt can be well accommodated, an open circuit is quickly formed, and accumulation of the melt is prevented to still form a loop.

[0035] The outer ring 312 of the first cavity 31 is lower than the inner ring 311 of the first cavity 31, and a collecting groove 313 is formed at both ends of the first cavity 31, so that the melt flows downward, an open circuit is quickly formed, the air cavity 33 is higher than the inner ring of the first cavity 31, and there is a height difference of L1, so that the gas generated by the fuse is stored in the air cavity.

[0036] The first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 are respectively provided with a sunken collecting groove 313 at both ends, so that the melt can quickly flow to the place under the action of gravity, and an open circuit is quickly formed.

[0037] The air cavity 33 is a convex structure on the inner ring of the first cavity 31, and is convenient for storing gas.

[0038] In order to better handle the gas generated by the fuse, the utility model also provides a gas channel for handling the gas.

[0039] Figure 2 It is a cross-sectional view of the gas channel, and the ceramic sheet 3 is also provided with a gas channel 34, the inner end of the gas channel 34 is connected with the fuse 6, and the outer end is connected with the outside. The gas generated by the fuse enters the gas channel and is discharged to the outside, so that the gas is prevented from accumulating in the inside and causing explosion.

[0040] The gas channel 34 comprises an upward inclined section 341 and a downward inclined section 342, the upward inclined section 341 and the downward inclined section 342 are connected at an obtuse angle or a right angle, the inner end of the upward inclined section 341 is connected with the fuse 6, and the outer end of the downward inclined section 342 is connected with the outside. The gas first passes through the upward inclined section 341, and the melt flows downward and cannot enter the upward inclined section 341, so that the melt cannot flow to the outside and cannot occupy the space of the gas channel, so that the gas cannot flow. The downward inclined section 342 can make the gas channel form a bending shape, so that the gas channel is conveniently processed.

[0041] The inner end of the ascending inclined section 341 is embedded with a melting column 345, the melting point of the melting column 345 is lower than the melting point of the fuse 6, and the melting column 345 seals the air passage 34. The melting point of the melting column 345 is slightly lower than the melting point of the fuse, when the melting point of the melting column 345 is reached, the fuse is not fused, the melting column 345 is fused, and the melting of the melting column 345 is temporarily accumulated in the ascending inclined section 341, when the melting point of the fuse is reached, the fuse is fused, the melting of the fuse flows to the first cavity 31 quickly, the melting of the melting column 345 flows to the first cavity 31 together with the melting of the fuse, at this time, the ascending inclined section 341 is empty, and the gas generated by the melting enters the air passage.

[0042] Because the gas generated by the fuse when it is just fused is very little, the volume of the melting column 345 is very small, and the gas generated by the melting of the melting column 345 is also very little, so the gas generated before the air passage is opened will not explode.

[0043] The outer end of the descending inclined section 342 is provided with a sealing column 343, the sealing column 343 seals the air passage 34 and prevents dust from entering, and the descending inclined section 342 is in a vacuum state. The two ends of the air passage are sealed by the melting column 345 and the sealing column 343, and the middle region is in a vacuum state. When the melting column 345 is fused and the air passage is opened, because the air passage is in a vacuum state, the gas generated by the melting can enter the air passage in a vacuum state, and under the action of the pressure, the gas generated by the melting can enter the air passage in a vacuum state, and under the action of the pressure, the gas generated by the melting can enter the air passage in a vacuum state.

[0044] The cross section and other parameters of the fuse are set according to the actual required fuse temperature, and the melting column 345 with a suitable melting point is selected. For example, the fuse can be made of a material with a melting point of 253 degrees, and the melting column 345 can be made of PET plastic material with a melting point of about 225-250 degrees. When the temperature reaches 225-250 degrees, the PET plastic is melted, and when the temperature reaches 253 degrees, the fuse is melted.

[0045] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiments are within the scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
