Under the abnormal work state, the deformation of bimetal leaf generation warpage, its contact and upper and lower electrodes conduct are partly thrown off, then contact with insulated part, and this moment, bimetal leaf was not connected into circuit, and electric current mainly flows through from the PTC thermistor.And the PTC thermistor can move rapidly and present high-impedance state and produce heat, keeps bimetal leaf and remains on reverse buckling deformation state, until the conducting voluntarily of fault eliminating circuit.
On the basis of such scheme, the middle part of the inner surface of described top electrode forms current-carrying part, and is coated with the contact, and the peripheral insulated part that forms is covered by insulating material; The inner surface middle part of bottom electrode forms insulated part, covered by insulating material, and the peripheral current-carrying part that forms, and be coated with the contact.
On the basis of such scheme, the middle part of described bottom electrode is provided with a kick.
On the basis of such scheme, the cavity of described cavity for constituting, or the combined formation cavity of two or more than two PTC thermistor of serving as reasons by a PTC thermistor.
On the basis of such scheme, described bimetal leaf and upper and lower electrode all are coated with the contact in the part that electrically contacts mutually.
On the basis of such scheme, the room temperature resistance of described PTC thermistor is not less than 10 times of contact resistance between bimetal leaf and the upper and lower electrode.Because the contact resistance between bimetal leaf and the electrode is much smaller than the room temperature resistance of PTC parts, in normal operation, electric current mainly flows through from bimetal leaf.
The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
1, adopt the PTC parts to constitute the structure of cavity, bimetal leaf places in the cavity, has reduced the thickness of device greatly, is beneficial to the requirement of device miniaturization;
2, adopt electrode pair to answer the surface of cavity part to make insulated part and current-carrying part, bimetal leaf is by the deformation action of self, decide itself and the contacting of electrode insulation part or current-carrying part, thereby realize that circuit disconnects or closed controlling Design, removed the needed transfer arm of traditional design from, reduce parts, also reduced size of devices;
3, electrode pair is answered the insulated part and the current-carrying part on the surface of cavity part, can adopt the printing technology of hyundai electronics industry to finish.Manufacturing process is simple, is suitable for large-scale production, simultaneously because the minimizing of parts greatly reduces the device production manufacturing cost;
4, device adopts the mode of PTC and bimetal leaf combination, compares with single PTC circuit protection device, can satisfy the needs by big electric current.Compare with single bimetal leaf circuit protection device, can realize self-locking and self-recovering function.
