For the signalling of anti-barrier action, several different methods is known.If the pressure limiting assembly is overheated,, can make a parallel process produce action (signaling indirectly) except from a and b short circuit over the ground.In this case, security-related anti-barrier course of action keeps being totally independent of signaling procedure, but only approximate relation is disadvantageous.Even two processes are mated best, hot conformation (constellations) is also always possible, that is, anti-barrier has moved but signaling does not produce, and vice versa.For direct signaling, known method is to be inserted into surge arrester with spring mode by the anti-barrier contact of prestress, and directly to be connected to a central electrode of surge arrester on the one hand by an installation elements on the other hand.In addition, central electrode for good and all is connected to earth potential by a solder joint, and anti-like this barrier contact also for good and all is connected to earth potential.In addition, anti-barrier contact is designed to have a clip, and this clip can for example insert in the printed circuit board (PCB).Clip provides between surge arrester and the anti-barrier contact or the adjustment between signaling contact and the surge arrester.The signaling contact on the direction identical with anti-barrier contact with spring mode by prestress, and be arranged on the melting element by an insulating trip.The signaling contact is formed on below the melting element, and has the elevated regions of a hook-type, and when the melting element fusion, elevated regions is electrically connected to the signaling contact below the insulation film anti-barrier contact and is electrically connected to earth potential thus.The circuit that is used for anti-barrier signaling is connected thus, and for example a LED begins luminous.Yet this known overvoltage elements has many shortcomings.Surge arrester and anti-barrier contact are in poised state, and this state can be subjected to the interference of the additional prestress of signaling contact, and surge arrester may be offset when stressed like this.Another problematic source is used for the complexity of the insulation film of signaling contact in manufacturing.In addition, be very complicated and break down easily by the location of clip and the location between anti-barrier contact and the signaling contact between surge arrester and the anti-barrier contact, because have only relatively moving accurately between anti-barrier contact and the signaling contact could guarantee correct signaling.
DE19708651A1 discloses a kind of surge arrester of inflation; it has at least two electrodes; have be arranged on two between the electrode insulator and have overload protection; overload protection is the form of external short circuit device; wherein; short-circuiting means axially hangs surge arrester; and the shorting link that for this reason comprises a conduction; this connector extends axially surge arrester; and its end is fixed on the radially certain distance of distance electrode by fixture; fixture applies an elastic force; also comprise a separator; this separator can fusion when heat supplied; fixture comprises a split ring; split ring can be stuck on the insulator and be made of the elastomeric material of band shape; locate to be provided with shorting link in one of its end, separator is arranged between the core of shorting link and the insulator or is arranged between the end and respective electrode of shorting link.Except not having signaling, a shortcoming of this known surge arrester is: two leads of a, b independently in a three-stage structure by short circuit.

Embodiment
Fig. 5 shows a kind of overvoltage elements 1 according to prior art, and is clearer in order to make the present invention, at first this overvoltage elements carried out brief description.Overvoltage elements 1 comprises anti-barrier (fail-safe) contact of a surge arrester 2,3, a melting element 4 and a signaling (signaling) contact 5.A central electrode of surge arrester 2 for good and all is connected to earthing strip 7 by solder joint 6.Melting element 4 is connected to the central electrode of surge arrester 2 in the same way.Anti-barrier contact 3 also for good and all is connected to earth potential by melting element 4 thus.The part of anti-barrier contact 3 is inserted in the earthing strip 7 and is formed a clip 8.Signaling contact 5 is arranged on the printed circuit board (PCB) 9 and is an assembly of a signaling circuit.As anti-barrier contact 3, signaling contact 5 with spring mode by prestress, and in the zone of described melting element 4 by means of one deck insulation film and melting element 4 electric insulations.When melting element 4 fusions, this can cause relatively moving between anti-barrier contact 3 and the signaling contact 5, in this case, interconnects by means of 10, two contacts of an elevated regions below the insulation film, so signaling circuit has just been connected.
Fig. 1 shows the brief configuration according to overvoltage elements 1 of the present invention.Like that, the central electrode of surge arrester 2 for example for good and all is connected to earthing strip 7 by solder joint 6 in the prior art just as shown in Figure 5.Anti-barrier contact 3 is stuck on the surge arrester 2, then just with spring mode by prestress.But, different with prior art, be connected to the anti-central electrode that hinders the melting element 4 of contact 3 and be not attached to surge arrester 2, but on the insulating regions of the surge arrester between the electrode 2.Signaling contact 5 with spring mode on the direction of printed circuit board (PCB) 9 by prestress, and be electrically connected to anti-barrier contact 3.When melting element 4 fusions, this can cause anti-barrier contact 3 to move towards the central electrode of surge arrester 2, so a contact of anti-barrier contact 3 is connected to earth potential.Therefore, the signaling contact 5 that for good and all is electrically connected to anti-barrier contact 3 also is connected to earth potential, and signaling circuit has just been connected like this.With different in the prior art, the prestress of signaling contact 5 no longer is on the identical direction with the prestress of anti-barrier contact 3, the prestress of signaling contact 5 only needs to guarantee like this: in the process that described anti-barrier contact 3 moves, signaling contact 5 is kept and is electrically connected to anti-barrier contact 3.But, this is significantly than precision such in the prior art easier realization that relatively moves.Another advantage is, the power that signaling contact 5 is compressing surge arrester 2 is substantially perpendicular to earthing strip 7, and surge arrester 2 can not be offset like this.In this, what only should specify once more is, if necessary, even can exempt the prestress of signaling contact 5 fully, condition is that no matter anti-barrier contact 3 any moving taken place, and this design can both guarantee that anti-barrier contact 3 is kept with the permanent electric of signaling contact 5 and be connected.
If produced the overvoltage of longer perdurabgility, because the relevant heat load of overvoltage therewith, melting element 4,20 just begins fusion, causes anti-barrier contact 3 to move in ground area 13 and short-circuited region 11.Because ground connection contact 19 forms towards the inboard, it at first touches central electrode 18, so anti-barrier contact 3 is in earth potential.Along with the continuation of melting process, 14 of shorting links can touch two electrodes 15,16, and make their shorted to earths by means of the lead that is connected to them.This has guaranteed lead shorted to earth always.Even melting element 4,20 is designed to the scolder connector have been guaranteed only for example producing on the lead under the situation of overvoltage in a side, also can make two electrodes 15,16 and make a thus and b lead shorted to earth reliably, because heat conduction makes melting element 4,20 whole fusions.In central area 12, the length of anti-barrier contact 3 equals the length of surge arrester 2, and this can carry out simple visual observations to correct clamping.
