Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automotive fuse, specifically a flat plug-in automotive fuse. Background Technology
[0002] A flat-panel pluggable automotive fuse is a type of automotive fuse designed to fit securely in the circuit like a sturdy shield, offering vibration resistance and preventing loosening. These fuses are commonly used in automotive circuits and cover a wide current range, from 60A to 350A.
[0003] In existing flat plug-in automotive fuses, the conductive metal strip inside is usually fixed to the housing. While this provides a basic fixing effect, the conductive metal strip is constantly in motion as the car moves. Over time, a slight resonance will occur between the conductive metal strip and the housing, causing the gap between the conductive metal strip and the housing to gradually increase, ultimately increasing the risk of damage to the car's internal circuitry. Utility Model Content

The pressure-bearing airbag can prevent the conductive metal sheets from being damaged by pressure, and can maintain good vibration resistance during use, effectively protecting the circuit.

[0027] Please see Figure 1One embodiment of this utility model is a flat pluggable automotive fuse, which includes a housing 1 and a main body 2 disposed on the housing 1. Two sets of clamping components 3 are also disposed on the housing 1, and the two sets of clamping components 3 are symmetrical about the two ends of the housing 1.

Four top grooves 113 are provided on the upper end face of the upper casing 11. The clamping assembly 3 includes a fixing cap 31 and a screw 32 threadedly installed in the fixing cap 31. The fixing cap 31 is fixed inside the upper casing 11. A knob 33 is connected to the top of the screw 32. The knob 33 is used for hand gripping.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 The main body 2 includes two conductive metal sheets 21 and a melt 22 connected between the two conductive metal sheets 21. Two sets of clamping components 3 are used to limit the two conductive metal sheets 21 respectively. Terminals 23 are connected to both conductive metal sheets 21.
[0030] Please see Figure 4 Bolts 13 are installed in each of the four top grooves 113, and the four bolts 13 are driven into the lower housing 12, so that the upper housing 11 is fixed to the lower housing 12 as one unit by the four bolts 13.
[0031] Please see Figure 5 Two mounting grooves 111 are provided on the opposite side of the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12. Two conductive metal sheets 21 are respectively disposed in the two mounting grooves 111. A central groove 112 is provided between the two mounting grooves 111. The melt 22 is disposed in the central groove 112. An inner pressure block 34 is fixed at the bottom of the screw 32. The inner pressure block 34 is pressed against the upper end face of the conductive metal sheet 21. A pressure-bearing airbag 35 is provided below the inner pressure block 34. Both the inner pressure block 34 and the pressure-bearing airbag 35 are disposed in the mounting grooves 111.
