Description

A kind of circuit brake
Technical field
The invention belongs to circuit protection field, relate in particular to a kind of circuit brake.
Background technology
In circuit protection, common metal sheet, FUSE(fuse) or PTC(thermistor) as protector.
Sheet metal is conventional bimetal leaf during as protector, and this sheet metal protector is when excess Temperature or electric current are when excessive, and sheet metal can temperature distortion, thereby makes circuit disconnection.In the time that abnormal large electric current appears in circuit, sheet metal rapidly heating produces deformation, thereby cuts off circuit.But after circuit disconnects, whole circuital current is zero, make sheet metal can not self-heating keep deformation, self temperature can slowly reduce, until return back to initial condition, at this moment circuit again can conducting.So repeatedly.
FUSE(fuse) as protector, be to realize excess temperature or overcurrent protection by the low-melting alloy of itself.In the time of temperature or current anomaly, fuse melted by heating disconnects, and realizes the absolute disconnection in physical significance.What FUSE adopted is low-melting alloy is as protector, and in the time of temperature or current anomaly, fuse melted by heating disconnects, and after disconnecting, eliminates fault, and also step-down slowly of fuse temperature, until solidify.But under off-state, solidify, have no idea to recover to be communicated with, so it is disposable protection, can not realize repeatedly protection.
PTC(thermistor) as protector, PTC divides CPTC and PPTC, and the common ground of the two is all that, under abnormal temperature or current status, the resistance of element itself sharply increases, and presents resistance up to a hundred, thousands of or even more than one hundred million times and increases severely.In theory, can think that the resistance of circuit gap is for infinitely great, the principle of PTC is just the great variety by resistance, thereby realizes to approaching of definitely disconnecting in physical significance, equally also can reach protection effect.In addition, PTC can be after each fault finishes, and arranging and returning to of element internal structure, material approaches initial condition, therefore can repeatedly realize protection.Although PTC can realize repeatedly protection, but between product, distribution of resistance is wide, and distribution situation is uncontrollable, even for single product, depositing, in use procedure, it is large that resistance also can become gradually, and ascendant trend is irregular, not reproducible, show resistance unstable, uncontrollable, just at last for the identical PTC of room temperature resistance, depositing, in use procedure, can not exist the identical situation of resistance ascendant trend to occur yet, therefore general PTC is only for single circuit, but be difficult to use in parallel circuits, otherwise can cause the unequal problem of shunting in parallel circuits.This unstable, uncontrollable reason is, distribution between PTC internal material is stochastic regime, artificially uncontrollable, technique and formula can only be controlled at this distribution in certain average and amplitude range as far as possible, in production process, batch and batch between distribution there is no repeatability, the resistance temperature of single product changes does not have repeatability yet.
Summary of the invention
The present invention solves the technical problem that the resistance of circuit brake of the prior art is unstable, cannot repeatedly protect, provide a kind of resistance stabilization, can Reusability circuit brake.
The invention provides a kind of circuit brake, described protector comprises: described protector comprises: shell, the first exit and the second exit, the switch module that is positioned at shell, protective and heater from drawing respectively in shell; Described switch module and heater are connected in parallel in the first exit and the second exit; The folding of described protective control switch assembly; Described protective is high expansion filler.
The present invention utilizes heater to continue heat supply to high expansion filler, realizes the folding of circuit, the protector risk of closed circuit again when having eliminated fault and still existing, and the selection range of high expansion filling material is wide, has reduced the requirement of selecting materials; Can repeatedly protect, avoid circuit under some fortuitous event, as static, thunderbolt etc., cause protector misoperation; Interiors of products is made up of parallel circuits, resistance is by material and the size Control of switch module, and the control of material and size, require low to technique, the level of production, therefore batch no matter product or single product between, resistance is all very stable, reliable, as long as environmental factor unanimously can ensure this effect.Stablizing of resistance, the largest benefit of bringing is exactly, in the time that protector is respectively used in parallel circuits, to there will not be the shunting situation that affects each branch road due to the resistance fluctuation of protector.
