Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of overload protectors, and in particular to an overload protector. Background Technology
[0002] In my country, railway passenger cars typically have one battery box on each of the first and second seats. Each box contains 39 alkaline batteries. The first-side battery box has a fuse assembly of model DCB-RL80 at the positive terminal outlet and a fuse assembly of model DCB-RL / GL80(-) at the negative terminal outlet. The second-side battery box has a fuse assembly of model DCB-RL80 at the negative terminal outlet and a fuse assembly of model DCB-RL / GL80(+) at the positive terminal outlet, which serves as short-circuit protection.
[0003] Currently, both the DCB-RLx and DCB-RL / GLx fuses use the JF5NR-25 / RD molded shell spiral structure. The fuse is placed on the lower conductive piece inside the molded shell, and the upper conductive piece is connected to the other end of the fuse via a threaded ring. Tightening is achieved by screwing on the ceramic knob on the threaded ring, which compresses the fuse to connect the upper and lower conductive pieces. (e.g.) Figure 4 For DCB-RLx; Figure 5 (JF5NR-25 / RD).
[0004] The existing structure, which involves multiple combinations, has been found to have many shortcomings after years of practical use:
[0005] 1. The fuse and the conductive plates at both ends are pressed into contact by tightening the ceramic knob. If the ceramic knob becomes loose during operation, it can easily cause poor contact, causing the conductive plates to overheat and burn the plastic shell.
[0006] 2. The connection method of one end of the fuse is fuse-threaded ring-upper conductive plate. The threaded ring and the upper conductive plate conduct electricity through the threaded engagement, which can easily increase the contact resistance.
[0007] 3. When replacing the fuse, it is necessary to clean the dust inside the plastic casing in time (dust drifts in through the heat dissipation holes on the plastic casing), otherwise there may be occasional poor contact between the lower conductive piece and the fuse. Utility Model Content
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an overload protector to solve the problems of poor contact, high connection resistance, and complicated replacement steps of the fuse connection method in the battery box in the prior art described in the background art.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an overload protector, comprising...
[0010] Mounting plate;
[0011] Two insulating bases are detachably fixed to the mounting plate, and each insulating base has a first threaded post;
[0012] Fuse;
[0013] A first conductive piece is disposed on the fuse, and one side of the first conductive piece has a first positioning groove;
[0014] A second conductive piece is disposed on the fuse, and one side of the second conductive piece has a second positioning groove; the openings of the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove are widened.
[0015] Among them, the two first threaded pins extend into the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove at corresponding positions, respectively;
[0016] Two first nuts are respectively threaded onto two first threaded posts;
[0017] Two third nuts are respectively threaded to two first threaded posts, and the first and third nuts clamp the first and second conductive plates at corresponding positions.
[0018] Preferably, a first spring washer and a first flat washer are fitted on the first threaded post, the first spring washer being located between the first nut and the first flat washer, and the first flat washer contacting the first conductive sheet or the second conductive sheet.
[0019] Preferably, two third flat washers are fitted on the first threaded post, and the two third flat washers are respectively located on both sides of the third nut.
[0020] Preferably, the insulating base has a second threaded post that penetrates the mounting plate, a second spring washer and a second flat washer are fitted on the second threaded post, and a second nut is also threadedly connected to the second threaded post. The second spring washer and the second flat washer are located between the mounting plate and the second nut, and the second flat washer is in contact with the mounting plate.
[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solutions are:
[0022] The fuse is directly mounted on the first threaded post of the insulating base, which is fixed to the mounting plate. This reduces intermediate steps, allowing for a one-step installation and effectively avoiding increased contact resistance, preventing excessive temperature rise, and making it convenient to install or replace the fuse.
