Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic components technology, and in particular relates to a ceramic fuse. Background Technology
[0002] A fuse is an overcurrent protection device. A fuse mainly consists of a housing, terminals, a fusible element, and an external arc-quenching medium. In use, the fuse is connected in series in the protected circuit. When the current in the protected circuit exceeds a specified value, and after a certain period of time, due to overcurrent heating (current heating effect), the accumulated heat inside the fuse causes the fusible element to reach the melting point of the metal material, causing it to melt and break the circuit, thus providing protection. It has an inverse time-delay characteristic; when the overload current is small, the melting time is long; when the overload current is large, the melting time is short. Therefore, within a certain overload current range, the fuse will not melt until the current returns to normal, and it can continue to be used.
[0003] As a safety electrical appliance, fuses are generally installed in distribution boxes. However, due to the limited space in distribution boxes, and the need to install other electrical appliances in the distribution box, existing fuses are too large to be convenient to install in distribution boxes, resulting in significant limitations in fuse installation and low applicability.

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the embodiments of this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the utility model.
[0026] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of embodiments of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0028] In this embodiment of the invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a ceramic fuse is provided, including a ceramic base 1, a base contact terminal 2, a contact blade 3, and a housing 4. The base contact terminal 2 is fixedly connected to the top side of the ceramic base 1, one end of the contact blade 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 4, and the other end is elastically pressed against the base contact terminal 2.
[0030] The ceramic base 1 is provided with a positioning hole 11, through which the ceramic base 1 can be installed in the distribution box.
[0031] The base contact terminal 2 includes a conductive contact terminal 21, a conductive spring 22, an elastic support piece 23, and a fixing bolt 24. One end of the conductive contact terminal 21 is fixedly connected to the conductive spring 22, and the other end extends out of the ceramic base 1. There are two conductive springs 22, which are arranged in parallel opposite directions. Both conductive springs 22 are fixedly connected to the ceramic base 1, and an elastic groove 25 is formed between the two conductive springs 22. The width of the elastic groove 25 is less than the thickness of the contact blade 3. The contact blade 3 is disposed in the elastic groove 25 and makes pressure contact with the two conductive springs 22 respectively. Under normal conditions, the contact 3 remains in continuous contact with the conductive spring 22, ensuring normal power supply. When the wire is short-circuited or the wire temperature rises significantly due to excessive power, the wire will transfer heat to the conductive contact terminal 21 and the conductive spring 22. The conductive spring 22 then transfers heat to the contact 3. When the temperature reaches the melting point of the contact 3, the contact 3 will gradually melt until it is no longer in contact with the conductive spring 22. At this point, the wire remains disconnected from the contact 3, thus breaking the circuit and preventing the wire from burning due to overheating, improving safety. One end of the elastic support piece 23 is fixedly connected to the ceramic base 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the conductive spring 22. The elastic support piece 23 provides elastic support for the conductive spring 22, ensuring continuous contact between the conductive spring 22 and the contact 3 and maintaining normal power supply. The conductive contact terminal 21 has a fixing hole at its end extending from the ceramic base 1, through which a fixing bolt 24 passes. By setting the fixing bolt 24, it is easy to fix the wire to the conductive contact terminal 21, forming a power-carrying circuit.
[0032] In another embodiment of this utility model, the ceramic fuse has two positioning holes 11, which are spaced apart.
[0033] In another embodiment of the present invention, the elastic support piece 23 of the ceramic fuse is C-shaped and forms an elastic support groove, and the conductive spring piece 22 is disposed in the elastic support groove.
[0034] In another embodiment of this utility model, the tops of the two conductive spring contacts 22 of the ceramic fuse form guide grooves 26. The guide grooves 26 are funnel-shaped and gradually decrease in width from bottom to top. The guide grooves 26 are connected to the elastic retaining grooves 25. The contact blades 3 are sequentially inserted into the guide grooves 26 and the elastic retaining grooves 25.
[0035] In another embodiment of this utility model, the ceramic fuse has two base contact terminals 2, which are arranged in parallel opposite directions and are both fixedly connected to the ceramic base 1.
[0036] In another embodiment of this utility model, the number of contacts 3 of the ceramic fuse is the same as the number of contacts 2 of the base. There are two contacts 3, and the material of the contacts 3 is copper-zinc alloy. The use of copper-zinc alloy is not only due to its excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, but also because it can quickly melt and break the circuit when the current is too high or the temperature is too high, thereby cutting off the current and protecting other components in the circuit from damage.
[0037] In another embodiment of this utility model, the contact 3 of the ceramic fuse includes a contact body 31 and a contact guide 32. One end of the contact guide 32 is fixedly connected to the contact body 31, and the other end is V-shaped. The contact guide 32 and the contact body 31 are sequentially inserted into the elastic slot 25. The contact 3 is sequentially inserted into the guide groove 26 and the elastic slot 25 through the contact guide 32.
[0038] The ceramic fuse provided in this application has a positioning hole 11 on the ceramic base 1. The ceramic base 1 can be installed in the distribution box through the positioning hole 11. The ceramic fuse provided in this application is smaller in size and easier to install in the distribution box, thus reducing the limitations of fuse installation and increasing its applicability.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
