Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery fuse protection technology, and in particular to an insulation structure for UPS battery fuses. Background Technology

[0002] The battery mode of the UPS requires a battery box consisting of 32 lead-acid batteries (12V each) connected in series to power the UPS. The DC voltage between the positive and negative terminals of the battery box is as high as 384V or more. To prevent arcing and short-circuiting of the positive and negative connection wires inside the UPS, a fuse needs to be added inside the UPS to ensure that the power supply can be cut off by blowing the fuse in the event of a short circuit downstream of the fuse. However, the exposed metal terminals at the front end of the fuse still pose a risk of arcing and short circuit due to the lack of overcurrent protection from the fuse, requiring enhanced insulation.

[0003] Due to limited internal space in a UPS, it's impossible to enhance insulation by increasing the distance between the positive and negative metal terminals. Therefore, insulating adhesive is applied to the positive and negative metal terminals to strengthen insulation. However, this process causes production problems. The insulating adhesive needs to be applied manually, which is costly and requires a long time to dry completely before assembly, significantly impacting production efficiency and costs.

[0023] This utility model provides an insulation structure for a UPS battery fuse, including a PCB board 1, a mounting structure and a first insulating paper 3. The mounting structure is disposed on the top of the PCB board 1, the fuse 2 is connected to the mounting structure, and the first insulating paper 3 is connected to the top of the PCB board 1, and the first insulating paper 3 wraps the fuse 2 and the connecting terminal of the fuse 2 inside.

[0024] As one embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a second insulating paper 4, which is connected to the bottom of the PCB board 1 and is disposed at the front end of the connection terminal of the fuse 2.

[0025] This invention addresses this issue by placing a first insulating paper 3 and a second insulating paper 4 on the upper and lower sides of the PCB board 1, respectively, to wrap around the fuse 2 and the front and rear metal connection terminals. This strengthens insulation and prevents arcing short circuits between the positive and negative terminals and arcing short circuits to surrounding circuits. This solution is easy to install, has low labor and material costs, and is more convenient for replacement and maintenance. Furthermore, the insulating paper can be selected or cut to size and length according to the fuse 2, resulting in a smaller and more suitable space for the insulating paper.

[0026] As another embodiment of the present invention, the mounting structure includes a first mounting base 6 and a second mounting base 7, which are disposed on the top of the PCB board 1. One end of the fuse 2 is connected to the first mounting base 6, and the other end of the fuse 2 is connected to the second mounting base 7.

The first fixing bracket 8 is fixed to the first mounting base 6 by rivets, and the second fixing bracket 9 is fixed to the second mounting base 7 by rivets, thus fixing the fuse 2. At the same time, a cable bracket 5 is also provided on the first mounting base 6. The cable bracket 5 has a hollow structure, and the input cable can be connected to the fuse 2 through the cable bracket 5. The cable bracket 5 also ensures the stability of the input cable.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, the first insulating paper 3 includes a first paperboard 30, a second paperboard 31, a third paperboard 32 and a fourth paperboard 33. One end of the first paperboard 30 is perpendicularly connected to one end of the second paperboard 31, the other end of the second paperboard 31 is perpendicularly connected to one end of the third paperboard 32, and one end of the fourth paperboard 33 is perpendicularly connected to the other end of the third paperboard 32.

[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, the first cardboard 30 is inserted into the first slot 10 on the PCB board 1, and the fourth cardboard 33 is connected to the PCB board 1 by rivets.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the outer shape of the first insulating paper 3 can be in the shape of "ji" or "gong". The first cardboard 30 is inserted into the first slot 10. An insulating space is formed by the first cardboard 30, the second cardboard 31 and the third cardboard 32 to provide insulating protection for the fuse 2 wrapped inside and the connecting terminals of the fuse 2, ensuring that there is no arcing short circuit between the positive and negative fuses 2, and also strengthening the insulation of the positive and negative fuses 2 to other circuits on the PCB board 1. To avoid interference in the disassembly and assembly of the fixing screws of the fuse 2, a bendable avoidance design is made at the position of the insulating paper corresponding to the upper part of the fixing seat. The fourth cardboard 33 and the PCB board 1 are fixed by plastic rivets, thus fixing the first insulating paper 3. The structure of the first insulating paper 3 can be continuously arranged in multiple numbers to protect multiple fuses 2 on the PCB board 1. A groove can be opened in the middle of the first insulating paper 3, so that the working condition of the fuse 2 can be seen from the outside.

[0033] As another embodiment of the present utility model, the second insulating paper 4 includes a fifth cardboard 40, a sixth cardboard 41, a seventh cardboard 42, an eighth cardboard 43 and an L-shaped plate 44. One side of the fifth cardboard 40 is perpendicularly connected to one side of the sixth cardboard 41. One side of the seventh cardboard 42 is perpendicularly connected to the other side of the sixth cardboard 41. One side of the eighth cardboard 43 is perpendicularly connected to one end of the sixth cardboard 41. One end of the L-shaped plate 44 is connected to the other end of the sixth cardboard 41.

By inserting the fifth cardboard 40 and the seventh cardboard 42 into the PCB board 1, and at the same time inserting the eighth cardboard 43 into the third slot 12 and protruding from the top of the PCB board 1, it can block the front end of the fuse 2 and wrap the fixing metal terminals of the fuse 2 on the PCB board 1, ensuring that there is no arcing short circuit between the positive and negative fuses 2, and also strengthening the insulation of the positive and negative fuses 2 to other circuits on the lower layer of the PCB board 1. The L-shaped plate 44 is connected to the PCB board 1 by plastic rivets to fix the second insulating paper 4.

[0037] Holes are opened around the fuse 2 on the PCB board 1 for fixing the insulating paper.
