[0026] In the following description, suffixes such as "module," "part," "component," or "unit" are used only for the purpose of describing this utility model and have no specific meaning in themselves. Therefore, they can be used in combination.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a fuse device includes: A plastic top cover 1 is snapped onto a ceramic base 2. A receiving space is reserved between the plastic top cover and the ceramic base 2. A fuse 3 is embedded in the receiving space. A flame-retardant material 4 is provided on the surface of the fuse 3. Electrode needle 5, which is connected to fuse 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the circuit is working normally, the current is conducted to the fuse 3 through the electrode needle 5. The fuse 3 allows normal current to pass through, ensuring the normal continuity of the circuit. However, if an overload or short circuit occurs in the circuit, and the current exceeds the rated current of the fuse 3, the fuse 3 will melt due to overheating, thereby cutting off the circuit and providing protection. At the same time, since the surface of the fuse 3 is provided with flame-retardant material 4, at the moment the fuse 3 melts and generates an arc, the flame-retardant material 4 can effectively suppress the spread of the arc, avoiding a sharp increase in the internal temperature of the fuse device caused by the arc. This prevents components with low ignition points, such as the plastic top cover 1, from being damaged by high temperatures, greatly improving the safety performance of the entire device.

[0030] In addition, the ceramic base 2 has good high temperature resistance and insulation properties, and can effectively isolate heat and current in high temperature or electric arc environments to prevent current leakage or device deformation.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the fuse device further includes a glass fiber rod 6 located within a receiving space, and the fuse wire 3 is spirally wound around the outer periphery of the glass fiber rod 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fiberglass rod 6 possesses excellent insulation and high-temperature resistance. When the fuse 3 is operating normally, the fiberglass rod 6 supports the fuse 3, maintaining its stable position within the device and ensuring smooth current flow. When the fuse 3 melts and generates an electric arc, the fiberglass rod 6 acts as a barrier, preventing the arc from spreading. Combined with the flame-retardant material 4, it suppresses the impact of the arc on other components within the device. It also prevents potential damage to nearby components such as the plastic top cover 1 caused by the high temperature of the arc, ensuring the overall safety and stability of the fuse device and contributing to extending its service life.

[0033] In one possible implementation, there are two electrode needles 5, one end of each electrode needle 5 passes through the ceramic base 2 and extends toward the fuse 3 to form an electrode sleeve 7, and the two electrode sleeves 7 are respectively welded to the left and right ends of the fuse 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two electrode pins 5 serve as interfaces for circuit connection, allowing the external circuit to be electrically connected to the fuse 3 via the electrode pins 5. After the electrode pins 5 penetrate the ceramic base 2 and extend to form the electrode sleeve 7, they can form a tight and stable welded connection with the fuse 3. This ensures good contact during the current conduction from the electrode pins 5 to the fuse 3, reducing problems such as increased contact resistance and overheating caused by loose connections.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the flame-retardant material 4 is silicone, which fills the containment space and encapsulates the fuse 3 and the electrode sleeve 7.

[0036] In this embodiment, when silicone is used as a filler material within the containment space, it can fully encapsulate the fuse 3 and electrode sleeve 7, forming a relatively sealed protective layer. When the fuse 3 melts and generates an electric arc, the silicone, with its excellent flame-retardant properties, can quickly isolate oxygen, preventing the arc from fully contacting the surrounding air, thereby inhibiting the continued combustion and spread of the arc and reducing the impact of the heat generated by the arc on surrounding components. Simultaneously, silicone also possesses a certain degree of flexibility and filling capacity, allowing it to fill tiny gaps within the containment space, further enhancing the internal sealing of the device and preventing external dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering and affecting the normal operation of the fuse 3 and other components, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the fuse device under different environments.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the flame retardant material 4 is epoxy resin, which fills the containment space and encapsulates the fuse 3 and the electrode sleeve 7.

[0038] In this embodiment, when epoxy resin is used as an alternative flame-retardant filler material, filling the containment space and wrapping the fuse 3 and electrode sleeve 7, once the fuse 3 melts and an electric arc occurs, the epoxy resin, with its high flame retardancy, can effectively prevent the further development of the arc, confining it to a small area and preventing it from causing large-area high-temperature damage to the entire fuse device. Furthermore, the epoxy resin, after curing, has high mechanical strength, which can provide a certain degree of fixation and protection for the fuse 3 and electrode sleeve 7. This ensures that even under certain external impacts or vibrations during daily use, the connection and relative position of the fuse 3 and electrode sleeve 7 remain stable, guaranteeing the stable operation of the fuse device in the circuit and ensuring circuit safety.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the flame retardant material 4 is silicone, which is uniformly coated on the surface of the fuse 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, when silicone is uniformly coated onto the surface of fuse 3 as a coating material, a thin protective film can be formed on the surface of fuse 3. When fuse 3 melts due to overload or short circuit and generates an electric arc, this silicone film can come into contact with the electric arc immediately, using its flame-retardant properties to suppress the intensity of the electric arc and slow down the spread of the electric arc, thereby reducing the impact of the high heat generated by the electric arc on the space around fuse 3 and the entire fuse device.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the flame retardant material 4 is epoxy resin, which is uniformly coated on the surface of the fuse 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, when epoxy resin is used as an alternative coating material and uniformly coated on the surface of the fuse 3, it adheres tightly to the fuse 3, forming a continuous protective layer. At the moment the fuse 3 melts and generates an electric arc, the epoxy resin layer, with its excellent flame-retardant and insulating properties, effectively blocks the heat transfer of the arc, inhibits further arc expansion, and prevents the arc from damaging surrounding components with low ignition points, such as the plastic top cover 1.

[0043] In one possible implementation, fastening strips 8 are provided on the left and right sides of the ceramic base 2, and the left and right inner surfaces of the plastic top cover 1 are provided with slots that are adapted to the fastening strips 8, and the fastening strips 8 are inserted into the slots.

[0044] In this embodiment, when installing the fuse device, simply align the fastening strip 8 of the ceramic base 2 with the slot of the plastic top cover 1, and then gently press it to allow the fastening strip 8 to be smoothly inserted into the slot, thus achieving a tight fastening connection between the plastic top cover 1 and the ceramic base 2. The operation is very convenient.

[0045] In one possible implementation, a sealing ring is also provided in the slot, and the sealing ring is tightly fitted to the outer surface of the fastening strip 8.

[0046] In this embodiment, the sealing ring further enhances the seal between the plastic top cover 1 and the ceramic base 2. When the fastening strip 8 is inserted into the slot, the sealing ring will tightly adhere to the outer surface of the fastening strip 8, effectively preventing external moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the device. This avoids these impurities causing corrosion, short circuits, or other adverse effects on internal components such as the fuse 3 and electrode needle 5, ensuring a clean and dry internal environment for the fuse device. This allows each component to operate stably in a favorable environment, guaranteeing the reliability and stability of the fuse device under different environmental conditions and extending its overall service life.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the electrode needle 5 is a copper electrode needle.

[0048] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
