Background technology
Fuse is to be used for circuit or electrical equipment facility in the protective circuit, prevents that it is subjected to electric current that moment exceeds the quata or too high voltage and sophisticated electronics is caused damage.Therefore, fuse is indispensable electronic building brick.Traditional fuse unit, for having a coil or fuse material, and with this fuse material seal in the made body of Bohemian glass, ceramic material or other insulating material.In insulated tube, can charge into the filler of inert gas or anti-electric arc.The two ends of body are respectively electric conductor, utilize electric conductor to be connected with pad on the circuit board, make electric current can pass through fuse.When immediate current surpasses predetermined current volume value, the fuse material will because of moment the excessive heat that electric current produced fused by high temperature, and then form and open circuit, excessive electric current is no longer flowed in the circuit, avoid damaging with protective circuit and electric equipment.So the fuse unit of structure because of moment produces great energy, produces high heat when causing blown fuse when big electric current (240A) and big voltage (2250V) use down, and the medium around making expands rapidly, and causes the body explosion; Producing electric arc (arc) simultaneously therefore very easily burns electronic building brick on every side and damages expensive system equipment.
So focus on inhibition electric arc on traditional its structure of fuse unit and the manufacture method, as United States Patent (USP) notification number 6507264,5572181,5923239,6507265,5812046,5596306 etc., but its processing procedure is comparatively complicated more; So occur overcurrent protection assembly again as No. the 200727319th, TaiWan, China patent publication No.; as shown in Figure 1; this overcurrent protection assembly 1 includes: a fuse body 11 and a fuse cladding 12; wherein first, second electrode 13,14 is extended at these fuse body 11 two ends respectively; and this fuse cladding 12 is made up of a macromolecular material; being under the situation of an overcurrent when the overcurrent protection assembly, this fuse cladding 12 can absorb heat that these fuse body 11 fusing are produced and the generation that suppresses electric arc.
Yet; with regard to reality; when producing thermal source when the 11 energising starts of fuse body; this some thermal source can be because the contact action of this fuse body 11 and this fuse cladding 12; and with the dissipation via 12 heat conduction of fuse cladding of this part of heat energy; make the excess electricity of this setting flow when passing through fuse body 11; this fuse body 11 can't reach specific currents or specified temp and high temperature fusing; and then can't reach the blocking-up circuit protection effect of electric current that exceeds the quata, and make the electronic circuit of electric device impaired or burn.
