Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fuse technology, specifically a fuse with a protective device. Background Technology

[0002] A fuse is a structure that cuts off power by melting the fuse at high temperature when the current exceeds a threshold. This structure can prevent high-voltage current from damaging the device. The existing knife-shaped structure can adopt a knife-shaped end structure, which makes it easy to insert directly into the inside of the circuit device, reducing the time spent. At the same time, the existing structure has a protective structure on the outside and quartz sand inside the protective structure, which can play a good role in extinguishing the arc.

[0003] According to a public notice (No.: CN222883473U) of a knife-type contact fuse with a protective device, the above application utilizes a combined end cap to achieve a sealing effect when combined with a protective shell. The insulating sleeve and limiting slide can be spliced ​​with the outer left and right positioning plates. During the splicing process, the splicing is carried out along the positioning slide groove of the combined end cap, keeping the insulating sleeve fixed in the fixed position of the combined end cap. When disassembly is required, the left and right positioning plates can be directly separated by the threaded rod to remove the knife-type contact from the inside of the combined end cap, facilitating flexible disassembly and replacement.

[0004] However, when replacing the internal fuse element in the aforementioned device, the entire outer casing still needs to be opened and the quartz sand poured out. This necessitates the use of additional containers to hold the quartz sand during fuse replacement, and other impurities can easily be introduced during the pouring process, reducing the safety of the fuse in subsequent use. Therefore, we propose a fuse with a protective device. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-6 The diagram shows a fuse with a protective device, including a lower housing 1, an upper housing 2 detachably connected to the top of the lower housing 1, a contact 3 detachably installed at the end of the lower housing 1, a fuse element 4 provided on the inner side of the contact 3 near the lower housing 1, a protective assembly provided between the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2, the protective assembly including a mating groove 6, the mating groove 6 being opened on the inner wall of the end of the lower housing 1, a closed groove 7 being opened on the side of the lower housing 1, an I-beam connecting block 5 detachably installed inside the mating groove 6, a protective sleeve 13 being fixedly installed on the side of the I-beam connecting block 5 near the inner wall of the lower housing 1, a triangular belt 14 being fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the protective sleeve 13, a protective cavity 15 being opened inside the protective sleeve 13, and an oblique hole 16 being opened on the side wall of the protective sleeve 13.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 There are two sets of I-shaped connecting blocks 5, and the I-shaped connecting blocks 5 have internal connection ports to facilitate the connection between the contact 3 and the fuse 4. At the same time, the mating groove 6 is adapted to the size of the I-shaped connecting blocks 5, so that the I-shaped connecting blocks 5 can be locked in the mating groove 6. This facilitates the temporary fixation of the I-shaped connecting blocks 5, the contact 3 and the protective sleeve 13 during installation, making it convenient for the workers to assemble. Specifically, the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 are completely identical and mirror images of each other to facilitate the assembly and use of the fuse.

[0019] An insert plate 8 is slidably installed inside the docking groove 6. A sealing plate 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the insert plate 8 away from the center of the lower housing 1. A bolt 10 is rotatably installed inside the insert plate 8. A protruding strip 11 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the insert plate 8. Sealing strips 12 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the sealing plate 9.

[0020] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 There are two sets of insert plates 8, which are respectively set at both ends of the sealing plate 9 to match the two ends of the lower housing 1, so as to connect and install the two I-shaped connecting blocks 5 at both ends of the lower housing 1. At the same time, the protrusion 11 is matched with the size of the docking groove 6, and the sealing strip 12 is matched with the size of the sealing groove 7 between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1. So that after the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 are spliced ​​and installed, the insert plates 8 and the sealing plate 9 can seal the connection between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1. At the same time, the combination of the insert plates 8 and the sealing plate 9 can be pulled out along this path to expose the cavity inside the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1, and then the fuse 4 inside can be removed.

[0021] The size of the insert plate 8 is adapted to the I-beam connecting block 5, and the inner wall of the end of the mating groove 6 is provided with a threaded hole adapted to the bolt 10.

[0022] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 After the insert plate 8 is inserted into the docking groove 6, it can stably clamp the I-beam connecting block 5, preventing the I-beam connecting block 5 from falling off. At the same time, through the cooperation of the threaded hole and the bolt 10, the insert plate 8 can be detachably connected in the docking groove 6, which is convenient for the staff to maintain and replace the internal equipment.

[0023] The V-belt 14 is arranged in an isosceles triangle, and the included angle between the two sets of hypotenuses on the side of the V-belt 14 away from the protective sleeve 13 is set as an acute angle.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 The V-belt 14 makes the resistance encountered by the protective sleeve 13 when it is inserted into and pulled out of the cavity between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 relatively small. Especially when the cavity between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 is filled with quartz sand, the V-belt 14 can better cooperate with the protective sleeve 13 to remove it. At the same time, the protective sleeve 13 wraps around the outside of the fuse 4 to protect it and prevent the quartz sand from bending and damaging the fuse 4.

[0025] The oblique holes 16 are arranged in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of oblique holes 16 are evenly distributed in a vertical linear array on the left and right sides of the protective sleeve 13. The inner diameter of the oblique holes 16 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the oblique holes 16 are inclined with the side closer to the center of the protective sleeve 13 being higher and the side farther away from the center of the protective sleeve 13 being lower.

[0026] Please see Figure 6 The inclined arrangement of the oblique hole 16 allows the quartz sand to enter the protective cavity 15 and come into contact with the fuselage 4 when the protective sleeve 13 enters the cavity between the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1. However, due to the restriction of the protective sleeve 13, the quartz sand will not excessively compress the fuselage 4, thus providing a certain protection for the fuselage 4 and ensuring its quality of use.

[0027] An arc-shaped band 17 is fixedly installed on the side of the protective sleeve 13, and a fan-shaped groove 18 is opened on the inner wall of the arc-shaped band 17.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 The outer edge of the arc-shaped band 17 faces away from the protective sleeve 13, thereby further reducing the resistance of the quartz sand on the side of the protective sleeve 13 when the arc-shaped band 17 is inserted into the cavity between the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 along with the protective sleeve 13, and at the same time guiding the quartz sand to prevent it from entering the protective cavity 15 inside the protective sleeve 13 in large quantities.

[0029] The arc-shaped band 17 is arranged in an inverted V shape and is located in the gap between two adjacent sets of inclined holes 16. There are multiple sets of fan-shaped grooves 18, which are evenly distributed inside the arc-shaped band 17.

[0030] Please see Figure 6 The inverted V-shaped design of the arc-shaped belt 17 can reduce the resistance of the quartz sand to the arc-shaped belt 17 to a certain extent. While providing protection for the protective sleeve 13, it also facilitates the insertion of the protective sleeve 13 when the quartz sand fills the cavity between the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 2, making it convenient for maintenance and replacement by the staff. The design of the fan-shaped groove 18 allows some of the quartz sand to move through the fan-shaped groove 18, further reducing the resistance of the arc-shaped belt 17 and facilitating the safe insertion of the protective sleeve 13.

[0031] Working principle: The operator uses a screwdriver to rotate the top of the bolt 10 to loosen the bolt 10, thereby releasing the limiting position of the mating groove 6 on the insert plate 8. When the bolts 10 in the two sets of insert plates 8 are completely loosened, the operator pulls the combination of the insert plate 8 and the sealing plate 9 upward to expose the cavity between the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1. At this time, the operator holds the combination of the upper shell 2 and the lower shell 1 with both hands, hooks the I-shaped connecting blocks 5 on both sides with his / her fingers, and pushes upward to pull out the I-shaped connecting blocks 5, the contact 3, the protective sleeve 13 and the fuse 4 upward. When fully withdrawn, the staff replaces the fuse 4 inside the protective sleeve 13; After replacement, insert the I-shaped connecting block 5 along the mating groove 6 according to the above holding method. The fuse 4 enters the cavity between the upper housing 2 and the lower housing 1 under the protection of the outer protective sleeve 13. Then insert the insert plate 8 into the mating groove 6 again and tighten the bolt 10 to complete the replacement and maintenance of the fuse 4.
