[0002] A varistor is an electronic component with nonlinear voltage-current characteristics. Its resistance value changes significantly with the applied voltage. Its core feature is voltage sensitivity. When the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, the resistance drops sharply, thus providing overvoltage protection.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN218214844U discloses a safety type varistor, including a varistor body, a first protective shell and a second protective shell installed on the outer side of the varistor body, and the pins of the varistor body passing through and extending to the outer side of the first protective shell. Connecting strips are symmetrically installed on the first protective shell, and fixing grooves are opened on the connecting strips. Connecting grooves are symmetrically opened on the second protective shell, and the connecting strips are located inside the connecting grooves. A concave groove is opened on the second protective shell, and an adjustment and fixing mechanism is installed inside the concave groove, and the adjustment and fixing mechanism is connected to the fixing groove.
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, although the lack of protective structure and insufficient safety during resistor use is solved by the first and second protective shells, the core material of the varistor may still suffer grain boundary damage after multiple surges, leading to varistor voltage drift and increased leakage current. The presence of the mechanical structure can mask early signs of aging and increase maintenance difficulty. Utility Model Content

[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0024] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-5 As shown: A safety varistor includes a package housing 1. An auxiliary mechanism is disposed inside the package housing 1. The auxiliary mechanism includes an insulating foam layer 6, a warning strip 11, and an elastic diaphragm 13. A grain boundary component 7 is attached to one side of the elastic diaphragm 13, and the other side of the elastic diaphragm 13 is fixedly connected to the insulating foam layer 6. One side of the insulating foam layer 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the package housing 1. A trigger strip 14 is attached to one side of the insulating foam layer 6, and a micro switch 10 is connected to one end of the trigger strip 14. One side of the micro switch 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the package housing 1. A pressing end 16 is inserted through the micro switch 10. The pressing end 16 is slidably connected to the micro switch 10, and one end of the pressing end 16 is hinged to the warning strip 11. One end of the warning strip 11 is rotatably connected to the micro switch 10. A connector 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the micro switch 10. A connector 2 15 is inserted inside the connector 12. One end of the connector 2 15 is fixedly connected to the crystal boundary component 7. Pins 2 are fixedly connected to both sides of the crystal boundary component 7. One end of the pin 2 penetrates the side wall of the encapsulation shell 1. A through hole 5 is opened on one side of the encapsulation shell 1.
[0025] Two sets of insulating foam layers 6 and elastic diaphragms 13 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the grain boundary component 7. They can monitor the deformation state of both sides of the grain boundary component 7. After the elastic diaphragm 13 deforms, it can squeeze the insulating foam layer 6, thereby driving the trigger strip 14 and the pressing end 16 to trigger the micro switch 10. The micro switch 10 can be connected to the encapsulation shell 1 through the first connector 12 and the second connector 15, which facilitates the subsequent circuit cut-off by the micro switch 10. The movement of the pressing end 16 can apply force to the warning strip 11, thereby changing the usage position of the warning strip 11 so that one end of the warning strip 11 protrudes from the through hole 5, which is convenient for timely warning and for staff to detect abnormal resistance and repair it in time. The encapsulation shell 1 can support the micro switch 10, which is convenient for the stable installation and use of the micro switch 10 inside the encapsulation shell 1.
[0026] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plug-in block 8 is inserted into the outer ring surface of the package shell 1. A support block 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the plug-in block 8. The inner wall of the support block 3 overlaps with the outer ring surface of the package shell 1. The support block 3 is penetrated by the pin 2. A fixing block 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the support block 3. A mounting hole is opened on one side of the fixing block 9. Two limiting members 4 are inserted into one side of the support block 3. The two limiting members 4 are engaged and connected. The inner wall of the limiting member 4 is slidably connected to the package shell 1. One side of the limiting member 4 overlaps with the fixing block 9.
[0027] The plug-in block 8 can guide the connection between the package housing 1 and the support block 3. The support block 3 can support the bottom of the package housing 1. The fixing block 9 can assist in the installation and fixation of the bottom of the package housing 1, improving the stability after the pin 2 is plugged in. The plugging of the limiting member 4 with the support block 3 can ensure the stable connection between the support block 3 and the package housing 1, reducing the loosening of the support block 3 during use.
[0028] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: First, when the entire resistor is in normal use, pin 2 can be inserted into the installation area. Bolts are installed inside the fixing block 9 to assist in the installation and fixation of the encapsulation housing 1. When the support block 3 is not needed, the two limiting members 4 can be moved along the outer ring surface of the encapsulation housing 1 to separate the limiting members 4 from the support block 3. Then, the support block 3 is moved down, and the insertion block 8 is separated from the encapsulation housing 1, allowing the support block 3 to be disassembled. The encapsulation housing 1 and pin 2 can then be installed and used separately. When the encapsulation housing 1 is in normal use, one side of the warning strip 11 overlaps with the micro switch 10, and the two elastic diaphragms 13 are respectively attached to both sides of the grain boundary component 7. When the encapsulation housing 1 is in use... In case of an abnormality, when the crystal boundary component 7 is damaged and expands, the elastic diaphragm 13 is deformed by pressure, squeezing the insulating foam layer 6. The insulating foam layer 6 squeezes the trigger strip 14, and the trigger strip 14 squeezes the pressing end 16 of the micro switch 10, triggering the micro switch 10 and cutting off the circuit at the same time. After being subjected to force, the pressing end 16 moves and applies force to the warning strip 11, causing the warning strip 11 to rotate with one end as the center, so that the other end of the warning strip 11 separates from the micro switch 10 and extends out of the through hole 5. A fluorescent layer is provided on one side of the warning strip 11 for easy viewing by staff. A spring is installed between the outside of the pressing end 16 and the inner wall of the micro switch 10 to assist the subsequent reset of the pressing end 16.
[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
