Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of overload protection technology, specifically a multi-level protective wire harness intermediate anti-backlash current structure. Background Technology

[0002] Wire harnesses are commonly used for electrical connections between different electrical components. During application, wire harnesses frequently experience inrush currents. Inrush current refers to a transient high-current pulse phenomenon in a circuit caused by sudden events (such as switching operations, motor starting and stopping, lightning, etc.). Its core characteristic is the generation of extremely high current peaks within a short period, which can potentially damage circuit components.

[0003] Existing methods that use adapters to control inrush current within the harness are ineffective and do not meet the requirements for efficient suppression of inrush current. Therefore, we propose a multi-level protective structure for preventing reverse inrush current in the middle of the harness. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-level protective structure for preventing back surge current in the middle of a wire harness, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing method of using an adapter to control the surge current in the wire harness is ineffective and does not meet the requirements for efficient blocking of surge current.

[0007] Preferably, the adapter connection unit includes a first connector plug, one end of which is equipped with a conductive cable, and the other end of the conductive cable away from the first connector plug is equipped with two second connector plugs. An adapter is installed between the insulating box and the two second connector plugs.

[0021] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 An anti-backlash unit 3 is installed inside the current monitoring unit 2. The anti-backlash unit 3 includes two electrical connectors 301. A partition plate 205 is fixedly connected to the electrical connectors 301. The ends of the two electrical connectors 301 away from the first parallel connecting block 302 pass through the partition plate 205, the thermally conductive curing adhesive 204, and the cable mounting sleeve 203 in sequence, and are electrically connected to the conductive cable 102. The two partition plates 205 are symmetrically installed relative to the anti-backlash unit 3. Two first parallel connecting blocks 302 and two parallel connecting blocks 303 are installed between the two electrical connectors 301. A varistor 304, a fuse 305, and a PTC thermistor 306 are installed between the two first parallel connecting blocks 302.

A varistor 304, a fuse 305, a PTC thermistor 306, a diode 307, and a MOSFET 308 are installed between the two connectors 301.

[0024] The varistor 304, fuse 305, and PTC thermistor 306 can reduce the peak value of instantaneous inrush current, preventing damage to electrical components caused by sudden current changes. The diode 307 and MOSFET 308 can block the reverse voltage in the conductive cable 102 and keep the electrical components in the off state, effectively preventing reverse current from entering sensitive devices through the conductive cable 102. The varistor 304, fuse 305, and PTC thermistor 306 are connected in parallel, and the diode 307 and MOSFET 308 are connected in parallel, which can effectively increase the resistance to reverse current surges and prevent the failure of the reverse current surge due to damage to a single circuit, thereby improving the fault tolerance of the circuit inside the conductive cable 102.
