Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermistor technology, specifically to a fixed structure for a cylindrical thermistor. Background Technology

[0002] A thermistor is a type of sensor resistor whose resistance changes with temperature. Based on their temperature coefficient, they are classified into positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors and negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. The resistance of a PTC cylindrical thermistor increases with increasing temperature, while the resistance of an NTC cylindrical thermistor decreases with increasing temperature. Both are semiconductor devices, and thermistors will remain inactive for extended periods. When the ambient temperature and current are in region C, the thermistor's heat dissipation and heat generation are close, so it may or may not activate. At the same ambient temperature, the operating time of a thermistor decreases sharply with increasing current. At relatively higher ambient temperatures, thermistors have even shorter operating times and lower holding and operating currents. The PTC effect refers to a material exhibiting a positive temperature coefficient, meaning that the material's resistance increases with increasing temperature. Most metallic materials exhibit the PTC effect. In these materials, the PTC effect manifests as a linear increase in resistance with increasing temperature; this is commonly referred to as the linear PTC effect. The nonlinear PTC effect refers to the phenomenon where, after a phase transition, the resistance of a material increases sharply by several to tens of orders of magnitude over a narrow temperature range; this is the nonlinear PTC effect. Many types of conductive polymers exhibit this effect, such as polymer PTC thermistors. These conductive polymers are very useful for manufacturing overcurrent protection devices. Polymer PTC thermistors are used for overcurrent protection and are often called resettable fuses (simply called thermistors). Due to their unique positive temperature coefficient resistance characteristics, they are extremely suitable for use as overcurrent protection devices. Thermistors are used like ordinary fuses, connected in series in a circuit. When the circuit is working normally, the thermistor's temperature is close to room temperature, and its resistance is very small, so it does not impede current flow when connected in series. However, when an overcurrent occurs due to a fault, the thermistor's temperature rises due to increased heating power. When the temperature exceeds the switching temperature, the resistance increases dramatically, and the current in the circuit rapidly decreases to a safe value. This diagram illustrates the current change during the protection of an AC circuit by a thermistor. After the thermistor trips, the current in the circuit decreases significantly. t represents the tripping time of the thermistor.Due to the good designability of polymer PTC thermistors, their temperature sensitivity can be adjusted by changing their switching temperature (ts), thus providing both over-temperature and over-current protection. For example, the KT16-1700DL thermistor, with its very low operating temperature, is suitable for over-current and over-temperature protection in lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries. The influence of ambient temperature on polymer PTC thermistors: Polymer PTC thermistors are directly heated, step-type thermistors. Their resistance change is related to their own heating and cooling, therefore their holding current (ihold), operating current (itrip), and operating time are affected by ambient temperature. When the ambient temperature and current are in region A, the thermistor's heating power exceeds its cooling power, causing it to activate. When the ambient temperature and current are in region B, the heating power is less than the cooling power, and the polymer PTC thermistor can be reused multiple times because its resistance is recoverable. A schematic diagram showing the resistance change over time during the recovery process after activation is provided. The resistance typically recovers to about 1.6 times its initial value within tens of seconds. At this point, the thermistor's holding current has returned to its rated value, and it can be used again. Thermistors with smaller area and thickness recover relatively quickly, while those with larger area and thickness recover relatively slowly. The resistance-temperature characteristic of a thermistor can be approximately expressed by the following formula: R = R0exp{B(1 / T-1 / T0)}: R: resistance value at temperature T (K), Ro: resistance value at temperature T0 (K), B: B value, *T(K)=t(ºC)+273.15. In reality, the B value of a thermistor is not constant; its variation varies depending on the material composition, and can even reach a maximum of 5K / °C. Therefore, when applying Equation 1 over a wide temperature range, there will be a certain error between the applied value and the measured value. Here, if the value of B in Equation 1 is calculated as a function of temperature using Equation 2, the error between it and the measured value can be reduced, and they can be considered approximately equal. Currently, the fixed structure of the cylindrical thermistor is inconvenient to weld on densely packed motherboards, which affects the installation of the thermistor. Utility Model Content
