Description

[0001] THERMISTOR CASE

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to a thermistor case that enables thermistors to be used in industrial applications without being damaged.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] Thermistors (temperature sensors) are temperature-sensing elements made of semiconductor material to exhibit large changes in resistance proportional to small changes in temperature. There are two types of thermistors mentioned: NTC (negative temperature coefficient) and PTC (positive temperature coefficient).

[0006] PTC (positive temperature coefficient) is a type of thermistor used to increase resistance as temperature increases. NTC (negative temperature coefficient) is a type of thermistor used to decrease resistance as temperature increases.

[0007] The thermistors mentioned are used in many different industrial applications. There are protections or cases designed to protect the thermistors from external factors and to ensure that they can make accurate measurements. These mentioned protection elements ensure that the thermistor is not affected by environmental conditions (humidity, dust, chemicals, mechanical damage, etc.) and also ensure that the thermistor is placed correctly to obtain accurate temperature measurements.

[0008] Thermistors are often sensitive electronic components and can be affected by environmental factors. Therefore, it is important to properly protect the thermistors to ensure accurate temperature measurement, especially in industrial applications. Thermistor protections elements are generally made of durable materials and are placed inside the thermistor to isolate it from external factors.

[0009] The said protection elements are in the form of a hollow chamber and are used by pouring epoxy after the thermistor is placed inside. There is no structure or element in the present production elements that would limit the movement of the thermistors. Due to this situation, the thermistors move towards the base of the production element while being placed in the production element and the thermistor legs hitting the base become bent. In this case, a short circuit occurs in the thermistor. Considering the epoxy poured into the production element, the said thermistor cannot be reworked. In this case, it causes equipment losses and therefore financial losses. In addition, work stoppages and thus time losses occur due to the thermistor failing to fulfill its duty.

[0010] It is obvious that there is a need for an embodiment that will eliminate the disadvantages that arise from the lack of any embodiment in the present art that will allow the said thermistors to be used without damage. In the research conducted, no structure was identified that would eliminate the problem of the said protection element.

[0011] Considering the above-mentioned negative situations, there is a need for a thermistor case that allows thermistors to be used in industrial applications without being damaged.

[0012] As a result, all the problems mentioned above have made it necessary to make an innovation in the relevant field.

[0013] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The present invention is presented with the aim of eliminating the above-mentioned problems and making a technical innovation in the relevant field.

[0015] The object of the invention is to eliminate the problems caused by warping, breaking and rupture in the legs of thermistors.

[0016] The object of the invention is to prevent financial and time losses by ensuring the healthy use of thermistors.

[0017] The object of the invention is to reduce the amount of epoxy poured onto the thermistors.

[0018] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] In order to achieve all the objects mentioned above and which will emerge from the detailed description below, the present invention is the thermistor case. The invention is characterized by comprising a body with a base surface and side surface in which the thermistor is placed to provide protection from external factors, a protrusion extending from the side surface of the said body in a way that is opposite to each other on the first axis to ensure that the legs of the said thermistor are positioned inside the body without touching the base surface in the body, and a holding surface that allows the said body to hold onto the cable section to which the said thermistor is connected and relates to the thermistor case that ensures that the thermistors with head and legs are not damaged during use in industrial applications.

[0020] A preferred embodiment of the invention is that it comprises a protrusion connected to the side surfaces in a way that there is a distance between it and the base surface mentioned on the second axis.

[0021] A preferred embodiment of the invention is that the said legs comprise a protrusion configured to have a length equal to or greater than the length on the second axis.

[0039] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0040] In this detailed description, the thermistor case (1 ), which is the subject of the invention is described with examples that will not form any limiting effect, only for a better understanding of the subject.

[0041] The invention relates to the thermistor case (1 ) which ensures that the thermistors (T) having a head (K) and legs (B) are not damaged during use in industrial applications.

[0042] The thermistor case (1 ), whose representative appearances are given in the figures, comprises:

[0043] • A body (1 1 ) with a base surface (1 1 1 ) and side surfaces (1 12) having an opening that allows the thermistor (T) to be placed inside to provide protection from external factors,

[0044] • A protrusion (12) extending from the side surface (112) of the said body (1 1 ) to be opposite to each other on the first axis (E1 ) in order to position the legs (B) of the said thermistor (T) inside the body (1 1 ) without touching the side surfaces (11 1 ) on the body (1 1 ),

[0045] • A holding surface (121 ) that allows the said body (1 1 ) to be held onto the cable section (F) to which the said thermistor (T) is connected.

[0046] The invention is a thermistor case (1 ) and it means preventing the legs (B) of the thermistors (T) from moving inside the body (1 1 ) thanks to the protrusion (12) having a holding surface (121 ) connected to the body (11 ) and the way the said protrusion (12) is connected to the body (11 ), thus preventing short circuits caused by the breaking and bending of the legs (B).

[0047] The thermistor (T), which belongs to the prior art, consists of a head (K) and two legs (B), as seen in Figure 1. The said legs (B) have a distance between them on the first axis (E1 ) and extend in such a way that both legs (B) have equal length on the second axis (E2). In the present applications, the said thermistors (T) are connected to a cable section (F) and then placed in a protection element and epoxy is poured on it. However, during placement inside the protection element, the legs (B) bend and break due to contact with the protection element, and this causes short circuits. In addition, due to epoxy being poured into the protection element, the said thermistor (T) cannot be removed from the protection element and this causes equipment loss. The purpose of pouring epoxy is to prevent the thermistor (T) from moving inside the protection element due to shakes and vibrations occurring in the area of use. In Figure 3, the cable section (F) belonging to the prior art is shown with dashed lines.

[0048] The invention is the thermistor case (1 ) and comprises a body (1 1 ) in a cylindrical geometry, in which the thermistor (T) is placed to provide protection from external factors. The said body (1 1 ) comprises a base surface (1 1 1 ) and a side surface (1 12) as seen in Figure 2. The said body (1 1 ) does not have a ceiling surface, and the thermistor (T) enters the body (1 1 ) from here. In addition, after the thermistor (T) enters the body (11 ), epoxy is poured into the body (1 1 ) from here.

[0049] The invention is a thermistor case (1 ) and comprises a protrusion (12) extending from the side surface (112) of the said body (1 1 ) to be opposite to the first axis (E1 ), as seen in Figures 2 and 2. A. The said protrusions (12) are connected to the side surfaces (1 12) in such a way that there is a distance between them and the base surface (1 11 ) on the second axis (E2). The said protrusion (12) is configured to have a length equal to or greater than the length of the legs (B) on the second axis (E2). It comprises a holding surface (121 ) that allows the said body (11 ) to hold on to the cable section (F) to which the said thermistor (T) is connected. Thanks to the said protrusion (12) and its structure, the movement of the thermistor (T) placed inside the body (1 1 ) on the first axis (E1 ) is restricted and it is prevented from hitting the side surfaces (1 12) of the body (1 1 ). Thus, bending or breaking of the legs (B) is eliminated. As seen in Figure 3, first the legs (B) of the thermistor (T) are connected to the cable section (F). Then, the thermistor (T) is pushed into the body (11 ) on the second axis (E2). After the thermistor (T) is placed inside the body (11 ), epoxy is poured into the body (11 ), and the thermistor (T) is fixed inside the body (11 ) on the first and second axes (E1 , E2). Then, the body (11 ) is connected to the cable section (F) from the holding surface (121 ). Thanks to the said protrusions (12), the amount of epoxy to be poured into the body (11 ) is reduced and thus financial gain is achieved. In addition, thanks to the protrusions (12), the legs (B) are prevented from bending or breaking while the thermistor (T) is placed inside the body (11 ). The scope of protection of the invention is specified in the claims given in the appendix and cannot be limited to what is described in this detailed description for the purpose of example. Because it is obvious that a person skilled in the art can present similar structures in the light of what is described above without deviating from the main theme of the invention.
