Description

Fuse with fusing and mechanical force disconnection fuse-element

Technical Field

The invention relates to equipment such as power generation, power transmission, power distribution, power utilization and the like, which is used as a novel fuse capable of fusing by current and breaking a circuit by mechanical force, is also suitable for the fields of electric vehicles, ships, aviation and the like, and is used as a circuit protection and fault control device.

Background

The traditional fuse is fused by utilizing heat generated by flowing current, and has the main problems that the current heating is an energy source for action, and a large amount of time is needed for heat accumulation when small-amplitude overcurrent is met, so that the protection speed is difficult to improve; and an overcurrent smaller than a certain value, for example, occurs: when overcurrent is not large, a circuit needs to be cut off, and a traditional fuse cannot act in time and cannot be reliably protected. If a switch is used to cut off a similar small amplitude current, a switching device needs to be added. Because the maximum breaking current capacity of the switch is weaker than that of the fuse, the overcurrent amplitude interval needs to be distinguished, and whether the control switch is suitable for breaking action or not needs to be distinguished, so that unsafe breaking conditions can occur. Switches also generally have disadvantages of large size, high cost, and the like. Particularly for the direct current over-current fault, because the direct current has no zero crossing point, the common air switch can not adopt the zero crossing point to extinguish arc, the breaking capacity is greatly reduced, and the fuse has strong capacity of breaking the direct current over-current, small volume, low cost, safety and reliability.

The fuse has high breaking capacity, and the arc extinguishing capacity of the filled arc extinguishing medium is much stronger than that of gas or vacuum medium of the switch.

At present, a fuse is provided with an internal spring or a gravity elongated fuse fracture structure, and after the fuse is fused, the fuse is stressed to move to elongate the fracture so as to improve the breaking capacity. But has the following problems: 1. the external control cannot be carried out, and the mechanical force can be exerted only after the current is fused; 2. the reliable occurrence and elongation of a plurality of series fractures cannot be ensured, and the plurality of series fractures are very important for breaking higher voltage and larger overcurrent value; therefore, the fuse can only be applied to fuses with smaller rated current, lower rated voltage, lower breaking capacity or larger volume and movement space.

Detailed Description

The above technical solutions will be specifically described with reference to the drawings by way of examples. The fuse of the invention mainly comprises a shell, a melt, a driving device and a breaking device; wherein.

The casing 100, see fig. 1, is a hollow sealed structure, and an arc extinguishing medium 101 is filled in the casing. The arc-extinguishing medium is in the state of granular solid, gel, liquid, etc. Densely packed silica sand is typically used. And a melt body 102 arranged in the arc extinguishing medium in the shell, wherein two ends of the melt body are respectively connected with a conductive terminal 103 penetrating through the shell wall. The contact surface of the conductive terminal and the shell is in sealing contact, so that the arc extinguishing medium is prevented from overflowing.

The drive device 105 is located outside the housing 100 and provides the driving force for the breaking device. The drive means may be a gas generating means for generating gas under pressure, a fluid generating means for generating fluid under pressure, an electromagnetic drive means, an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic motor, a hydraulic motor, or a transmission means. The breaking device is provided with a linear displacement driving force, a rotary displacement driving force or a driving force combining the linear displacement and the rotary displacement through a driving device. When the driving device is a gas generating device, the driving device and the breaking device part positioned outside the shell need to be arranged outside the shell in a sealing way so as to ensure that the generated high-pressure gas cannot overflow and disperse. In fig. 1, the drive means is a gas generating means, and therefore a sealed cover 106 is provided on the outer periphery of the drive means and the breaking means outside the housing.

And the breaking device is used for mechanically breaking the melt in the arc extinguishing medium. The breaking device can break the melt in a linear displacement mode or break the melt in a twisting mode in a rotating displacement mode.

Referring to fig. 1, the structure of the melt is broken by linear displacement. The breaking device comprises a force application member 200 and a guide member 201 which are arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the melt in the shell and are of rod-shaped structures. In fig. 1, the force application member 200 and the guide member 201 are fixedly connected at one end at two side positions of the melt, so that the force application member, the guide member and the melt part clamped therebetween form an assembly. The force application component is positioned on the melt, penetrates upwards through the shell wall and protrudes out of the shell wall, and a blocking structure for preventing the arc extinguishing medium from leaking is arranged at the contact surface of the force application component and the shell wall. In this embodiment, the blocking structure between the urging member and the guide member and the housing wall is a seal (202, 203), and the seal is a seal ring. The blocking structure may also be implemented by interference fit, or by other mechanical structural means.

The shell wall corresponding to the lower end of the guide component is provided with a through hole, the lower end of the guide component penetrates through the through hole, and a blocking structure for preventing arc extinguishing medium leakage is arranged on the contact surface of the lower end of the guide component and the shell wall. When the driving device receives an external excitation signal to act, the force application component, the guide rod and the melt part clamped in the force application component are driven to displace together to break the melt. Because the through hole is arranged, the end of the guide member, which is positioned in the through hole, can be positioned in the through hole or outside the shell at the final displacement position.

When the housing wall is provided with a through hole which is not communicated with the outside of the housing, a sufficient clearance for displacement of the guide member must be left between the end of the guide member and the bottom of the hole in the housing wall where the guide member is located. When the guide member is displaced by the urging member, the guide member does not protrude outside the housing.

In fig. 1, the driving device is a gas generating device, which receives an external excitation signal, typically an electrical signal, and ignites to generate a large amount of high-pressure gas to push the urging member and the guide member to displace together.

The weak breaking parts 204 are respectively arranged in the length direction of the melt on both sides of the force application member and the guide member, and the weak breaking parts are arranged to reduce the breaking strength of the broken melt parts, so that the broken melt parts can be broken easily when being impacted. The weakness is broken in fig. 1 by a plurality of through holes spaced apart in the melt. The breaking weak point can also be a breaking groove which penetrates through the width of the melt and can be arranged at the corresponding position of one surface or two surfaces of the melt; the shape of the breaking groove can be a single structure or a combination structure of V-shaped, U-shaped, wave-shaped and the like. Or one or more rows of through holes are arranged in the width direction of the melt at intervals to reduce the strength of the breaking weak point. The structure mode of concentrating stress, such as a variable cross-section structure, can make the section of the melt at the break part gradually narrow, and when the melt is impacted by external force, the impact strength per unit area can be mentioned. The breaking weakness can also be made of a conductive material with lower strength instead of the original melt material at the breaking weakness.

The fuse weak point 205 is arranged on the melt, and the fuse weak point can be arranged on the melt at intervals. In fig. 1, the fusion weakness is a narrow diameter. The fusing weak point can also be of a variable cross-section structure, or a low-temperature fusing conductive material is arranged at the fusing weak point, or a low-temperature fusing material is arranged on the surface of the melt, and the low-temperature fusing conductive material can be fused at a lower temperature and can accelerate fusing of the melt; or to provide metallurgical effect points on the melt or to use conductive materials that do not have electrical conductivity. The fuse weak point is arranged on the melt body at a position so as not to influence the breaking device to break the melt body.

The melt can be arranged in a straight plane shape or in a trapezoidal bent shape in the cavity of the shell. When the melt in the housing is formed in a trapezoidal configuration, the breaking weakness is provided on one trapezoidal side of the connection with the portion of the melt between the force applying member and the guide member. When the melt is arranged in the cavity of the shell to be in a trapezoidal structure, the melt is more easily broken when the force application component and the melt part clamped by the force application component are driven by the guide component to move downwards due to the pressing of the arc extinguishing medium.

Referring to fig. 2, a support fixture 206 is also provided between the melt 207 and the housing, the fixture being located on one or both sides of the breaking device; may be provided on one or both sides of the melt. The supporting fixture 206 may be a supporting boss structure, a supporting cantilever structure, a supporting rod structure, etc. for supporting and fixing the melt. One end of the supporting and fixing device is fixedly arranged on the shell, and the other end of the supporting and fixing device is in contact with the melt to fix the melt. By supporting the fixture, the melt length between the breaking device and the fixture is shortened, facilitating rapid breaking of the melt. In fig. 2, the melt break is provided with a groove structure, and one end of the force application member 208 located in the arc-extinguishing medium is embedded and clamped in the groove of the melt. The inner wall of the shell at the side where the guide component 209 is located is provided with a boss, through holes are arranged on the boss and the shell wall, the periphery of the guide component is provided with a limiting convex rib 210, when one end of the guide component is arranged in the through hole in a penetrating mode, the limiting convex rib 210 is just clamped on the boss to limit the position of the guide component, and meanwhile, arc extinguishing media are prevented from leaking. The other end of the guide member supports the melt. When the driving device drives the force application component and the guide component to displace in a linear mode, the limiting lug on the guide component is disconnected under the action of the driving force, and the limiting on the guide component is released.

Referring to FIG. 3, another embodiment for breaking the melt in a linear displacement is shown. Two melts 300 are arranged in parallel in the housing 100, and two ends of the melts are respectively connected with the conductive terminals 103. Three force applying components are arranged on one side of the two melts at intervals, wherein one ends of the two force applying components 301 are contacted with the melts, a gap is reserved between one end of the force applying component 302 and the melts, and the gap is large enough that the arc extinguishing medium filled in the gap can not prevent the force applying components from applying force to the melts and the guiding components. On the other side of the two melts, there are provided a guide member 303 and a guide member 304 corresponding to a force application member 301 and a force application member 302, respectively. The guiding component 303 and the guiding component 304 are respectively provided with a hole slot at one end of the melt for the melt to pass through, wherein one melt is contacted with the end part of the guiding component, and the other melt passes through the hole slot on the guiding component. Through holes are respectively arranged on one end of the shell wall of the shell corresponding to the guide components (303, 304). The other end of the guide member 303 is inserted into the through hole. A limit pin 305 is arranged outside the through hole corresponding to the guide member 304, the limit pin is of a convex structure, the bottom of the limit pin is arranged on the outer side wall of the shell, and the rod part of the limit pin is positioned in the through hole. The guide member 304 is provided with a groove with a certain depth at the end corresponding to the limit pin, the pin rod part of the limit pin positioned in the through hole is inserted in the groove at the end of the guide member 304 and keeps a displacement gap with the bottom of the groove, and the displacement gap is kept between the end of the guide member and the bottom of the limit pin. The displacement distance between the force application member and the guide member is limited by the arrangement of the limit pin.

In fig. 3, a plurality of urging members share a single driving device, which is a gas generating device. When the gas generating device receives an external excitation signal to act and release a large amount of high-pressure gas, the three force application members are driven by the high-pressure gas to displace. One of the force applying members 301 and 302 pushes the melt and the guiding member to displace to break the melt, and the other force applying member breaks the melt in the displacement direction. A plurality of mechanical break-off interruptions are formed in the melt.

Referring to FIG. 4, another embodiment for breaking the melt in a linear displacement is shown. Two melts (401, 402) are arranged in parallel in the shell 400 at intervals, and two ends of the melts are respectively connected with conductive terminals 403 arranged on two sides of the shell in a penetrating way. The breaking device includes a force applying member 404, a force applying member 405, and a force applying member 406 located outside the housing. The force applying member 404 is positioned in the arc quenching medium at one end through the housing wall. One end of the force application component 404, which is positioned in the arc-extinguishing medium, is provided with a groove for the melt 401 and the melt 402 to penetrate through, and the melt 401 and the melt 402 penetrate through the end of the force application component 404, which is positioned in the arc-extinguishing medium. The force application member 405 is positioned on the force application member 404 side, a support boss 407 for fixing the melt is provided between the force application member 404 and the force application member 405, and the melts (401, 402) are respectively fixed to the support fixing device 407. The melt at the end of the force-applying member 405 in the arc-extinguishing medium is arranged in a U-shaped arc configuration. An arcuate structural portion of the melt is threaded onto the end of the force applying member 405. When the force application member 5 is located at one end outside the shell and is driven by the driving device to pull the force application mechanism, the arc-shaped structure of the melt is driven to move, and the melt is broken. The melt arc-shaped structure is provided with a weak breaking part on one side or two sides, or the melt bending part is provided with a weak breaking part. The arc-shaped structure is more beneficial to the force application mechanism to apply force to break the melt. The weak breaking part is arranged at the bending part, so that the melt can be broken quickly.

A portion of the melt 402 extends in an arc-like shape outside the housing to form an arc-like structure. The force application member 406 is of a pin structure and is arranged at the arc-shaped melt structure in a penetrating manner. The breaking weakness is provided in the melt in the arc-extinguishing medium. When the force application member 406 is driven by the driving device to break the melt, a fracture formed on the melt is located in the arc-extinguishing medium. The fused mass and the shell wall of the shell are sealed by a sealing element to prevent the arc extinguishing medium from leaking. The force application member 406 located outside the housing may also be shaped like the structure of the force application member 405, but such a structure may result in a relatively large space occupied by the force application member outside the housing.

The drive means of the configuration of fig. 4 may be an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic motor, a hydraulic motor, or a transmission. Which is driven by a connection with a driving device. A transmission such as a cam transmission. The end part of the force application mechanism positioned outside the shell is provided with a T-shaped structure, and the cam applies driving force outwards to the flat plate at the end part of the force application mechanism, so that the force application mechanism can be driven to pull the melt to break the melt.

Fig. 1 to 4 are schematic structural diagrams of several embodiments of the breaking device for breaking the melt in a linear displacement manner to form a fracture. As can be seen from the above, the breaking device may include one force application member or a plurality of force application members, and the guide member may or may not be provided as required; when the guide member is provided, one or more guide members may be provided, and the guide members do not necessarily have to be in one-to-one correspondence with the urging mechanism, and may be in one-to-many or many-to-one correspondence. Whether the melt is located in the arc-extinguishing medium in whole or in part, a mechanical fracture of the melt must form in the arc-extinguishing medium. The force application component and the guide component are blocking structures which are used for preventing arc extinguishing medium leakage and are arranged between the shell walls of the shell, the blocking structures can be sealing element structures which are arranged, interference fit structures can also be adopted, or the blocking structures are arranged outside the shell or on the inner wall of the shell to block arc extinguishing medium leakage. For example, a cover-like structure is provided outside the housing on the side where the guide member is located, and the cover is provided outside the housing in close contact with the housing. Enough clearance is reserved between the cover and the end part of the guide member for the displacement of the guide member, and the displacement of the guide member between the shell wall of the shell and the clearance of the cover is ensured. Because the fuse-element breaks the process required time very short, and the shortest is the millisecond of single digit and breaks time, in the short time that breaks like this, guide member displacement speed is far greater than the speed of revealing of arc extinguishing medium, consequently, the leakage of arc extinguishing medium from the casing can not hinder guide member's displacement, again owing to there is the lid effect, the arc extinguishing medium can not reveal the department lid outside, just can not cause the harm to other parts in the circuit yet.

The structure of the breaking device for breaking the melt in a rotationally displaceable manner is specifically described. Referring to fig. 5, a melt 601 is disposed in an arc extinguishing medium of a housing 600, and two ends of the melt 601 are respectively connected with conductive terminals 602 disposed on the housing, and the conductive terminals can be connected with an external circuit.

Three connecting columns are also arranged at intervals at the end where the guiding component part 709 is connected with the part 708, the three connecting columns on the guiding component part 709 penetrate through the melt 702 and are fixedly connected with the end, located above the melt 702, of the guiding component 708 to form a complete guiding component 707, and the melts 701 and 702 are fixed on the guiding component 707. The other end of the guide member is inserted into the hole in the boss, leaving a gap between the guide member and the bottom of the hole sufficient for displacement of the guide member. A blocking device 718 for preventing leakage of the arc-extinguishing medium is provided at the contact surface of the force application member 706 and the guide member 707 with the housing. In this embodiment, a seal is used for sealing. The seal at the guide member is provided with a limit boss which snaps onto the housing wall boss 704.

Guide member segments 713 are positioned between melt 701 and melt 702 with one end fixedly attached to melt 701 and the other end positioned above melt 702. The upper end of the guiding component part 714 is provided with a plurality of connecting columns at intervals, and the connecting columns penetrate through the melt 702 and are fixedly connected with the guiding component part 713 to form a finished guiding component, so that the melt 701 and the melt 702 are fixed on the guiding component.

The driving device acts on the rotating handle or directly acts on the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate and break off the two melts. Because the rotating shaft penetrates through the lateral shell walls of the two melts and is clamped on the two sides of the melts, the breaking effect is better than that in the figure 5, and the formed fracture is larger. When the driving device drives the rotating handle to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, the driving device can be a linear driving device, at the moment, the rotating handle is arranged in an inclined mode, and the driving device moves from a high point to a low point to press the rotating handle to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. When the driving device acts on the rotating shaft, the driving device needs to provide a rotating force directly to the rotating shaft, and in this case, the driving device may be a transmission device such as a gear, a belt, a chain, and the like.

In the invention, when the melt is broken in a linear displacement manner, after the breaking device breaks the melt to form a break, the broken melt can be partially separated from the arc-extinguishing medium and arranged in the through hole on the shell wall or enter the displacement space arranged on the shell wall along with the continuous displacement of the breaking device. The arc generated at the interruption may then have a small portion that enters the through-opening or displacement space with the breaking device, in which case the arc generated by the interruption is largely extinguished by the extinguishing medium.

All of the above embodiments focus on an example of a structure in which the melt is mechanically broken with the arc-extinguishing medium filled in the housing. Melt fusing is described less, and no matter what mechanical breaking the melt structure, the melt is essentially characterized by fusing, and when fault current is enough to fuse the melt, the fusing fracture is inevitably formed. Therefore, it is not described at great length herein. For example, when the fault current is low or 0, and the fault current is not sufficient to melt the melt, the melt in the arc-extinguishing medium has only mechanical breaking fractures. When the fault current is large, the fusing fracture can be generated before or after the mechanical fracture is generated; when the fault circuit is very large, firstly, the melt is fused to generate a fusing fracture. After the fuse element fusing fracture is generated, whether a mechanical type breaking fracture needs to be formed or not is determined according to the size of breaking voltage, the size of the volume of the fuse and the like, and the condition of sending out an excitation signal can be set in an external control device. In all the above structures, the force application member and the guide member end which are in contact with the melt are made of insulating materials.

In all the structures of the invention, before and after the action of the breaking device, the arc extinguishing medium must be positioned in the shell and cannot leak, otherwise, the leaked arc extinguishing medium can affect the performance of equipment instruments, units, vehicles and the like using the fuse.

The driving device can receive external excitation signals to act whether the melt is disconnected in a linear displacement mode or in a rotary displacement mode. Can be an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic motor, a hydraulic motor, a transmission or other driving device which can act according to an external excitation signal.

The working principle of the fuse disclosed by the invention is as follows:

the principle of operation of breaking off the melt by linear displacement and by rotary displacement is the same, and therefore the breaking off of the melt by the breaking device in linear displacement of fig. 1 is taken as an example.

When the fault current is small or zero but the melt needs to be disconnected according to set conditions, the fault current is insufficient to fuse the melt; the driving device receives an excitation signal from the outside, drives the force application component, the guide component and a combination body formed by the melt part between the force application component and the guide component to move downwards together, breaks the melt from a weak breaking position to form a fracture in an arc extinguishing medium, arcs are extinguished in the arc extinguishing medium, and the melt is broken in a mechanical breaking mode to realize circuit protection;

when the fault current is large and the melt can be fused, high temperature is generated at the weak part of the melt fusion, and the melt is fused; when the melt melts, the driving device receives an excitation signal from the outside, the force application component, the guide component and the assembly formed by the melt parts between the force application component and the guide component are driven to move downwards together, the melt is pulled apart from the weak breaking part, and the melt is ensured to be broken. Since large fault currents exist in a current range in which the time required for the melt to fuse differs, mechanical disconnection fractures may form either before or after the formation of the disconnection fractures.

When the fault current is large, the melt is firstly fused to form a fusing fracture, and the circuit can be disconnected only by fusing the melt; the external part can not send an excitation signal to the driving device, and the breaking device does not act.

When no fault current is generated, an excitation signal can be sent to the driving device according to a set condition to prompt the driving device to drive the breaking device to break the melt and break the circuit.

In summary, the fuse of the present invention can be disconnected by mechanical alone, or by fusing alone through the fuse element, or by combining mechanical disconnection and fuse element fusing as required. The current breaking range and breaking capacity of the fuse are improved; simultaneously, because the arc that produces carries out the arc extinguishing in the arc extinguishing medium, and break the fuse-element through mechanical type and form the fracture, elongated the arc distance along with breaking the device displacement again, changeed the arc extinguishing, improved arc extinguishing ability. In addition, when the force application member and the guide member are displaced, the force application member, the guide member and the shell wall are provided with blocking structures, arc extinguishing medium leakage is avoided, and the working safety of the fuse is improved.
