In summary, the fuse in this embodiment adopts the combination of the first current-carrying breaking device and the second current-carrying breaking device, and has the following technical effects:

Example 2
As shown in fig. 7, based on embodiment 1, the fuse may further be added with a self-thermal protection heater PTC, and a controlled function is realized in combination with detection signals of overcurrent detection and overvoltage detection. When the system detects an overcurrent signal, the heater loop is triggered to be conducted, the heater PTC starts to work and generate heat, heat is provided for ATCO1 and ATCO2, the ATCO1 and the ATCO2 are heated and fused, namely, the second current carrying breaking device is disconnected, the current is loaded on the first current carrying breaking device 100 in multiplying power, the temperature rise of the first melt 101 is increased, the loop is rapidly cut off, meanwhile, the heater PTC continuously works, the ATCO3 is heated and fused, the heater loop is cut off, and the work is stopped.
Fig. 8 shows an example of a product corresponding to fig. 7. Wherein, the heater PTC corresponds to the heating plate 8; the first melt 101 corresponds to the silver tape 6; ATCO1 and ATCO2 correspond to the low melting point metal 3; ATCO3 corresponds to thermal fuse 82.
In the present embodiment, the heating device 80 is composed of a heating plate 8 and a temperature fuse 82 connected in series, and is packaged together with the low melting point metals 3 of the two branches through an upper cover 83, a lower cover 85, and a bracket 84. The thermal fuse 82 continuously operates at a medium rate current to heat up and fuse, thereby avoiding that the heating device 80 continuously operates after the fuse blows.
Specifically, the heating plate 8 is disposed between two low-melting-point metals 3 of the second current-carrying breaking device and is fixed by the bracket 84, and meanwhile, the low-melting-point metals 3 of the two branches are fixed on two sides of the heating plate 8 by the upper cover 83, the lower cover 85 and the bracket 84, so that the heating plate 8 is ensured to uniformly heat the low-melting-point metals 3 of the two branches, the low-melting-point metals 3 of the two branches are fused, the current multiple is loaded on the first current-carrying breaking device, the first current-carrying breaking device is fused quickly, and the safety cutting is integrally realized.
The current-time fusing curve of this example is shown in fig. 9, wherein curve 1 is a fusing curve of a conventional silver tape as a melt; curve 2 is an example of a current-time fusing curve of 400A of the present embodiment, where the first inflection point (left inflection point) indicates that the heating device is activated at a lower current, the protection response time is shortened by passive fusing of the lower melting point metal, and the second inflection point (right inflection point) indicates that the heating device is activated at a higher current, and the protection response time is further shortened; the two inflection points of the dotted line represent different starting currents, the starting current is large, the response breaking speed is faster, and the response breaking time is shorter. When the low-rate overcurrent is less than 1.2kA, the temperature rise of the nickel strap is not obvious due to small temperature rise, and the fusing time of the nickel strap is equivalent to that of a conventional fuse; when the medium-rate overcurrent occurs, the low-melting-point metal is directly heated by a heater to fuse, the current is loaded on the first current-carrying breaking device in a multiplying power mode, and the first current-carrying breaking device is quickly fused, so that the safety cutting is integrally realized; when the high-rate overcurrent occurs, the temperature rise response rate of the nickel strap and the heating of the heater are higher than 10kA and do not act on the low-melting-point metal, more, the low-melting-point metal is achieved by the low-melting-point characteristic and the internal resistance of the low-melting-point metal, the current rises, the low-melting-point metal heats due to the internal resistance, the low-melting-point metal can be rapidly cut off due to the low melting point, and the response time of the low-melting-point metal is equivalent to that of the first current-carrying breaking device.
In a specific implementation, the distribution of the bearing current of each current-carrying breaking branch can be regulated by adjusting the number of branches or the wire diameter of the melt. Preferably, the ratio of the bearing current of the current-carrying breaking branch of the first current-carrying breaking device to the bearing current of the medium-rate fast-melting branch of the second current-carrying breaking device is generally set to be 5:1 to 1: 5. Preferred values include 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3, etc.
Example 3
As shown in fig. 10 to 12, the housing 1 of the fuse may be provided with a T-shaped cavity 9 so as to extend the temperature fuse 30 or the low melting point metal 3 of the second current-carrying breaking device to a convex portion in the middle of the T-shaped cavity. In this configuration, the temperature fuse 30 is kept at a distance from the other melt, and its melting is not or less affected by the temperature rise of the other melt, and sufficient space is provided for providing a mechanical breaking device.
In order to realize the rapid breaking of the second current-carrying breaking device, a mechanical breaking device can be used for mechanical breaking.
Example 4
In the present embodiment, the breaking means includes a low melting point metal 2021 and an elastic breaking mechanism 2022 as mechanical breaking means, as shown in fig. 13. In this embodiment, one end of the elastic breaking mechanism 2022 is fixed (e.g. fixed on the housing), and the other end abuts against the low-melting metal 2021, so that the whole elastic breaking mechanism is in an energy storage state. When the strength of the low-melting-point metal heated and softened structure is reduced, the structural strength of the low-melting-point metal heated and softened structure cannot bear the elasticity applied by the elasticity breaking mechanism, so that the elasticity breaking mechanism releases energy storage to break the low-melting-point metal. After breaking, sufficient safe spacing and electrical insulation strength are formed at the break points.
Example 5
In this embodiment, the breaking means includes a conductor 2023 and a pyrotechnic explosion breaking mechanism 2024 as a mechanical breaking means, as shown in fig. 14. Pyrotechnic explosion breaking mechanisms are commonly used in circuit breakers. Structural weakening points in the form of narrow diameters and the like are arranged on a main loop electrode of the circuit breaker, and the pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism acts to break the structural weakening points after receiving an instruction. When the pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism receives the command action, the piston acts on the narrow diameter under the pushing of the explosive airflow to break the main loop electrode, and the breaking point can be ensured to have enough safety distance and electric insulation strength. Since the pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism 2024 has a large impact force and a high breaking capacity, the conductor 2023 may be a copper tape or an aluminum tape with a narrow diameter (which is not fused when the medium-rate is excessive), or may be a low-melting-point metal (which is fused when the medium-rate is excessive). Similarly, the low-melting point metal is also a structural weakening point on the loop, and when the structural strength of the low-melting point metal is reduced, the low-melting point metal can be broken when the pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism 2024 acts, and the sufficient safety distance and electrical insulation strength can be ensured to be formed at the breaking point. The current-time fusing curve of the embodiment is shown in fig. 15, wherein curve 1 is a fusing curve of a conventional silver tape as a melt, and curve 2 is an example of a current-time fusing curve using a pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism; the first inflection point (left inflection point) indicates that the pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism is started at a lower current, the protection response time is shortened by passive fusing of the metal with a lower melting point, the second inflection point (right inflection point) indicates that the pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism is started at a higher current, the protection response time is further shortened, and compared with the technical scheme adopting the heating device in the embodiment 2, the technical scheme adopting the pyrotechnic explosion cutting mechanism is faster in fusing speed and shorter in protection response time; the two inflection points of the dotted line represent different starting currents, the starting current is large, the response breaking speed is faster, and the response breaking time is shorter.
In summary, the fuse in the above embodiment has the following technical effects:
1. When the breaking means in the second current carrying means are added with pyrotechnic explosion breaking means or heating means, a rated overcurrent protection function can be achieved.
2. When the breaking device in the second current-carrying device is added with a pyrotechnic explosion breaking mechanism or a heating device, if the detecting circuit fails or the ignition voltage input line or the heating current input line is broken accidentally, the fuse still has the functions of the basic fuse, such as overload protection breaking and maximum capacity safety breaking of short-circuit current.
