Below, with reference to accompanying drawing embodiments of the present invention are described.
(X) of Fig. 1 is the sectional arrangement drawing that an embodiment of protection component of the present invention is shown, and (Y) of Fig. 1 is the Y-Y profile among (X) of Fig. 1.
In Fig. 1, the 1st, stable on heating insulation base station, for example be ceramic wafer.2a, 2b are the lead fixed electrodes of pair of parallel, insert to lead in insulation base station 1, for example are fixed on the base station 1 by heat-resistant glue.This lead fixed electrode for example can be made of copper.That the section configuration of lead fixed electrode can become is square, circle etc., is not particularly limited.The 3rd, leading axle can use in metal, the insulator any one, with above-mentioned lead fixed electrode 2a, 2b configured in parallel, the one end by bonding agent for example glass (ガ ラ ス) be fixed on the base station 1.2c is movable electrode, the 4th, helical spring, movable electrode 2c is directed axle 3 and inserts logical (the 20th, the hole of movable electrode 2c), the both ends of movable electrode 2c contact and compression helical spring 4 with the front end face of each lead fixed electrode 2a, 2c, are engaging by low- melting alloy 5a, 5c between each end of the front end face of each lead fixed electrode 2a, 2b under this state and movable electrode 2c and between movable electrode 2c and the leading axle 3.For low-melting alloy 5c, both can use the alloy identical with low-melting alloy 5a, also can use the fusing point alloy lower than low-melting alloy 5a.
Shown in Fig. 1 (Z), at each lead fixed electrode front end face section is set, the front end side of movable electrode is contacted with the vertical plane of section, and the back side of each movable electrode end is contacted with the horizontal plane of section, thereby enlarge contact area as far as possible, fully reduction electrically contacts resistance.The 30th, be arranged at the block (stopper) of the front end of leading axle 3, become hook-like.In addition, also insulation shell can be installed.
If above-mentioned mechanical state is simplified, then can become following state: shown in (X) (profile) of Fig. 2 and (Y) of Fig. 2 (at the vertical view of Fig. 2 (X)), because the compression reaction force of compression spring 4, in the section S-S of the low-melting alloy part 5a (5a) that is engaging each lead fixed electrode and movable electrode, be subjected to the effect of shear stress F, in the interface s-s of the low-melting alloy part 5c that is engaging movable electrode and leading axle, be subjected to the effect of shear stress f.
In Fig. 2, if the area of section S-S is made as S, the area of interface s-s is made as s, the compression reaction force of compression spring 4 is made as T, the thickness at the position of the shear stress effect among the low-melting alloy part 5c is made as t, highly is made as b, the shearing Young's modulus of low-melting alloy is made as G, then sets up following formula.
2SF+sf=T
F/G=ft/G
If the radius of leading axle is made as r, then the area s of above-mentioned interface s-s is
Figure G2009100059019D00071
So above-mentioned stress F represents with following formula (1).
In formula (1), the minimizing of the radius r counter stress F of leading axle has contribution to be because use low-melting alloy 5c to engage between movable electrode 2c and the leading axle 3, so, can reduce shear stress F to the low-melting alloy position S-S effect that engages lead fixed electrode 2a or 2b and movable electrode 2c by increasing above-mentioned radius r, can prevent the creep at this S-S place, low-melting alloy position effectively, so can stably keep the electric contact state of lead fixed electrode 2a, 2b and movable electrode 2c.
When utilizing low-melting alloy to engage movable electrode and lead fixed electrode, can also adopt following structure, namely, as shown in Figure 3, movable electrode arrange pottery alms bowl (す り ?) shape hole 200, and the leading section of lead fixed electrode 2a (2b) is contained in this hole 200, next low-melting alloy 5a fusion is filled in the pottery alms bowl shape hole 200 and the structure that is cured.
According to this structure, can suppress the deviation of bonding area, and can expect to utilize the stabilisation of the joint that low-melting alloy carries out to the wedge fixed effect in pottery alms bowl shape hole.
About low-melting alloy, from environmental protection, preferably use lead-free alloy.
In this lead-free alloy, if with Bi class low-melting alloy, the Sb class low-melting alloy low-melting alloy as above-mentioned protection component, then under direct current, use under the situation of protection component, be created in the phenomenon of separating out Bi, Sb on the interface that joins with the cathode side electrode.About separating out the reason of Bi, Sb, can infer as described as follows.
Low-melting alloy has cocrystallizing type alloy, solid solution build alloy, intermetallic compound type alloy, if they are carried out microscopic observation then can find: two or more metal unit mix and the lattice of the atomic arrangement that structure makes new advances, and the ionized atom of lattice-site is in poised state.But Bi atom, Sb atom fly out from the equilbrium position easily, thereby and owing to the charged energy that obtains flies out from lattice-site, become misplaced atoms, thereby in lattice, drift about, under the situation of direct current, this misplaced atoms moves to cathode side, and separates out at cathode interface.In the hole of the track that misplaced atoms flies out, a people one of guest on the next door of this vacant place is mobile and fill up new vacant place to move and arrive the surface of crystallization corporally when certain seat is available in full auditorium, and the hole merges each other on this surface.
The example that Bi metal, Sb metal are separated out is as described below.
(example 1)
Be 57% at the percentage by weight of Bi, remainder is that Sn, diameter are that φ 1mm, length are that the two ends weld diameter of the low-melting alloy sheet of 5mm is the copper conductor conductor of φ 1mm, and logical 15 amperes direct current is in the time of 5000 hours, and joining and separated out thickness with the end face of the copper conductor conductor of cathode side is the Bi metal level of 200 μ m.
(example 2)
Be 5% at the percentage by weight of Sb, remainder is that Sn, diameter are that φ 2mm, length are that the two ends weld diameter of the low-melting alloy sheet of 7mm is the copper conductor conductor of φ 2mm, and logical 30 amperes direct current is in the time of 5000 hours, and joining and separated out thickness with the end face of the copper conductor conductor of cathode side is the Sb metal level of 50 μ m.
In protection component of the present invention; if use Bi class low-melting alloy or Sb class low-melting alloy for low-melting alloy; and under direct current, use; then separate out Bi metal or Sb metal and tender at the low-melting alloy interface that the electrode with cathode side joins; but in protection component of the present invention; can alleviate the stress to this interface interaction according to the reaction force of compression spring effectively; so although this fragilityization occurred; also can get rid of the early stage misoperation of protection component, thereby ensure the regular event of protection component.
In protection component of the present invention; even use Bi class low-melting alloy or Sb class low-melting alloy for low-melting alloy; and under direct current, use; if contact to enlarge the electrical-contact area of movable electrode and lead fixed electrode by above-mentioned section; then can correspondingly reduce to the shunt current of low-melting alloy side, so can suppress separating out of Bi metal or Sb metal effectively.
(X) of Fig. 4-1 is the profile of an embodiment that the protection component of strip resistance device of the present invention is shown, and (Y) of Fig. 4-1 is the Y-Y profile among (X) of Fig. 4-1.
In Fig. 4-1, the 1st, stable on heating insulation base station, for example be the phenolic resin plate.2a, 2b are the lead fixed electrodes of pair of parallel, insert to lead in insulation base station 1, for example are fixed on the base station 1 by one-body molded.This lead fixed electrode can be made of copper.That the section configuration of lead fixed electrode can become is square, circle etc., is not particularly limited.The 300th, the winding-type resistor, the lid (cap) 301 of band lead conductor is installed in for example two ends of ceramic core of thermal endurance insulating core 302, resistive conductor 303 is wrapped on the core 302, it twines each end and respectively covers 301,301 by welding to wait to join to, and be arranged side by side between lead fixed electrode 2a, 2b at base station 1, the lead conductor 3 of a side is used as leading axle.The lead conductor 3 ' of opposite side is drawn from base station 1, by bonding agent for example glass be fixed in base station 1.The 6th, the sept of getting involved as required.2c is movable electrode, is inserted logical by the lead conductor 3 of a side.The 4th, helical spring, for example can use stainless (stainless) spring, between movable electrode and resistor main body, inserted logical by the lead conductor of a side, engage by low-melting alloy 5a, 5b between the front end face (section) of the both ends of movable electrode 2c and each lead fixed electrode 2a, 2b, and engage by low-melting alloy 5c between the lead conductor 3 of a side and the movable electrode 2c, thereby helical spring 4 becomes compressive state.
The 7th, insulator housings, lead conductor 3 and this shell inner surface of a side joined and terminated.The 8th, the die body of the insulating sleeve of for example pottery that arranges etc. or high temperature insulation coating etc. as required, die body do not bury helical spring 4 and occupied the resistor main body around.Under the situation that insulating sleeve or die body are set, also can omit housing 7.In this case, need block be set at the front end of the lead conductor 3 of a side of resistor 300.
In the protection component of this strip resistance device, also can with above-mentioned protection component similarly, thereby cut off the power supply to protected equipment owing to protected equipment overheated makes low-melting alloy 5a, 5c fusion.
In addition; in other use states; connect lead fixed electrode 2a on the power supply road of protected equipment; 2b; between the lead fixed electrode 2a of the lead conductor 3 ' of the opposite side of resistor and a side or 2b, connect resistor heating power circuit; in this case; resistor heating power circuit always is disconnected; if in protected equipment, produce unusual; then sensor senses should be unusual; resistor heating power circuit is switched on and the heating of resistor main body; low-melting alloy 5a; 5c is melted, and compression spring 4 is released, and movable electrode 2c is from lead fixed electrode 2a; keep apart between the 2b and cut off power supply to protected equipment.In this case, heat transfer distance from the resistor main body to each low-melting alloy 5c, 5a, 5a is short, and can be by the heat radiation depression effect of insulating sleeve 8 programming rate of fasting resistance device main body, so can accelerate responsiveness.
In the protection component shown in Fig. 4-1; the resistor heating power circuit that comprises lead fixed electrode 2a or 2b → movable electrode 2c → lead conductor 3 → resistor main body 300 → lead conductor 3 ' energising and make resistor main body 300 heating powers when protected equipment unusual; because heat takes place in this, low melting point fusible material 5a, 5b fusion and cut off between lead fixed electrode 2a, the 2b.Yet; compare with the resistivity value of lead conductor 3; the spring 4 for example resistivity value of stainless spring 4 does not have so high; after resistor heating power circuit turn-on; in during till the low melting point fusible material is melted, electric current flows through in the path of lead fixed electrode 2a or 2b → movable electrode 2c → spring 4 → resistor lid electrode 301 → resistor main body 300, thus spring 4 heatings; because the reduction of this spring performance might hinder the action of protection component.
Therefore, shown in Fig. 4-2, preferably, with insulation spacer 901,902 between between spring 4 and the movable electrode 2c or between spring 4 and the resistor lid electrode 301.Can also be with these insulation spacer 901,902 respectively between between spring 4 and the movable electrode 2c and between spring 4 and the resistor lid electrode 301.In addition, replace insulation spacer 902, can also cover electrode 301 coating coating insulating films to resistor.
And then, because the inclination of spring 4, might contact with lead conductor 3 in week in week and the lower end in the upper end of spring 4 and electric current is diverted in the spring 4, thus preferably with insulating cylinder 903 between the inboard and lead conductor 3 of spring 4.
In the protection component of the strip resistance device shown in Fig. 4-1, Fig. 4-2; except the movable electrode 2c and the junction between the lead fixed electrode 2a (2b) that utilize low-melting alloy 5a to engage; the compression reaction force of compressing spring 4 is also supported in junction between the lead conductor 3 of the movable electrode 2c that utilizes low-melting alloy 5c to engage and a side of resistor; so can reduce the stress to these each junction effects, thereby can prevent the creep of low-melting alloy well.
In addition, use Bi class low-melting alloy or Sb class low-melting alloy for low-melting alloy, and under the situation about under direct current, using, even in low-melting alloy, take place because separating out and the phenomenon of tender of Bi metal or Sb metal also can prevent breaking of low-melting alloy well owing to above-mentioned stress reduces.
And then, the alloy type thermal fuse that the spheroidizing of the molten alloy that carries out with fusion by utilizing fuse element and standby flux is cut off to move is different, not necessarily need adhere to flux at low-melting alloy, so problem of the flux carbonization that the arc heat in the time of can avoiding owing to the cut-out action causes, thereby can prevent arc damage, and can ensure the sufficient proof voltage that cuts off after the action, as big failure of current with being preferred.But, from being the aspect of the surface protection of purpose with moisture-proof etc., can have flux, cured etc. with the degree that above-mentioned proof voltage can not become problem.
