Definitions
- the invention relates to a thermal fuse which interrupts at least one current path running through it when a tripping temperature value is exceeded, with the further features of the preamble of
- Thermal fuses with a plurality of thermal fuse and / or switching elements are known as combination devices. Such devices have a fuse housing, in which a plurality of thermal fuse and / or switching elements is arranged, which can form, for example, a limiter / controller combination.
- a fuse housing in which a plurality of thermal fuse and / or switching elements is arranged, which can form, for example, a limiter / controller combination.
- at least two connection contacts protrude from their fuse housing, which are connected to a contact path which can be bridged by a moving contact in the interior of the housing.
- One of the securing elements loads the movement contact in the contact closing direction and under spring preload, the movement contact interrupts the current path when the fuse is triggered.
- single fuses which have a tubular housing in which a thermally sensitive element in the form of a fuse material cartridge is arranged, which causes an interruption of the current path through the fuse when the temperature value defined by the fuse material is exceeded.
- REPLACEMENT LEAF address different temperature values or should at least be produced on different production machines. If the temperature is exceeded, this ensures that at least one of the two fuses responds and triggers the safety-related shutdown.
- the invention has for its object to develop a thermal fuse with the features of the preamble of claim 1 so that it meets high security requirements, is easy to manufacture and in particular is easy to assemble. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1, advantageous developments of the invention result from the subclaims.
- the fuse housing in a tube-like manner and to provide it with two receiving chambers for the use of the thermal securing elements, wherein the receiving chambers can generally be identical.
- a partition is provided between the two securing chambers, which closes the raw internal cross section iw and on which the thermally sensitive elements of the at least two thermal securing elements bear on both sides under spring load. It is advantageously achieved that the heat is introduced via the housing to the thermally sensitive elements with good thermal conductivity via one and the same element, namely the partition.
- the fuse thus has a well-defined response behavior.
- the separating base forms a mechanical stabilization of the otherwise pressure-sensitive tubular housing, thereby ensuring that when the housing is assembled in the central region by means of a clamping element which acts on the housing with radially inward pressure, there are no moving parts be clamped, which can make the fuse inoperable.
- the fuse is also easy to manufacture and adjust.
- the housing can be cut from a pipe section, the partition can be inserted and pressed.
- the prepared securing elements can then be inserted and provided with closing elements and pressed onto a block. At the same time, it is ensured that the thermally sensitive parts are in good thermal contact with the partition that serves as a heat-conducting element.
- a straight piece of pipe can be used as the housing and in particular the pressing process for pressing the elements of the fuses can be carried out by a single pressing stroke.
- the partition can either be integrally formed in the tubular housing, or it can also be a separate disk that can be attached in different ways, as described in claims 5 and 6.
- the outer wall of the housing in the region of the partition is a heat transfer surface which can be clamped onto a component to be monitored.
- an outer holding element is suitable, which acts on the housing in the region of the partition under radially inward pressure. Since the housing is stabilized against pressure by the partition, the heat transfer surface can be pressed very firmly onto the component to be monitored.
- the disc-like guide element which encompasses the transmission pin of the melting sleeves outside the sleeves, can Advantageously carry out a further division of the receiving chambers into an inner area and an outer area.
- the sleeve receiving the melting material is arranged in the inner area, the springs and contacts are provided in the outer area of the two chambers.
- the fusible link is held in the inner chamber area by the guide disk, as a result of which incorrect contacts in the area of movement contact are avoided when the fuse is addressed.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a thermal fuse with two fuse elements cushioned by a star shaped like a pot, one of which has responded;
- FIG. 2 shows a section through a thermal fuse with two fuse elements spring-loaded by helical springs, one of which has responded;
- FIG 3 shows a partial section through the area of the fuse housing which has the separating bottom
- FIG. 4 shows a partial section through the area of the fuse housing which has a modified separating base
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic cross section through a fuse fastened with a fastening element to a device wall to be monitored.
- the thermal fuse 1 shown there has a current path running through its fuse housing 2, which comprises two connection contacts 3, 4, on which fixed contacts 5, 6 are arranged, which cooperate with movement contacts 7, 8, the latter the metallic fuse housing Contact so that the current path as a whole consists of the elements 3, 5, 7, 2, 8, 6, 4 (in the order from left to right) through the fuse housing 2.
- a total of two thermal fuse elements 9, 10 are provided in the fuse housing 2, which are arranged in two receiving chambers 11, 12 of the fuse housing 2, which is of tubular construction.
- the two receiving chambers 11, 12 are separated from one another by a partition 13 which closes the pipe cross-section.
- the inner ends of the thermally sensitive elements act on the partition 13 under the force of springs 16 , 17, 18, 19, the springs 16 and 18 being designed as contact opening springs which lift the movement contact 7, 8 from the fixed contact 5, 6, as soon as the associated securing element 9 or 10 responds and the springs 17 and 19 are formed as so-called "star springs" which, when the securing element 9, 10 is not addressed, ensure the necessary contact closing pressure between the moving contact and the fixed contact, as is shown on the right-hand side in FIG. 1, since the securing element 10 shown there is still there didn't respond.
- the left-hand fuse element 9, however, has triggered, whereby the contact path between the fixed contact 5 and the movement contact 7 is opened. As can be seen from FIG.
- the springs 17 and 19 can also be designed as helical springs which perform the same function as the "star springs" according to FIG. 1.
- the transmission pins 30 and 31 are advantageously formed with a stepped area 30 'and 31 * which extends into the inner area of the springs 17 and 19 which are now designed as coil springs and thus stabilizes the position of the coil springs.
- the two receiving chambers 11, 12 run coaxially to one another in the straight tube section. trained fuse housing 2.
- the partition 13 is formed in one piece with the fuse housing, however, FIGS. 3 and 4 show further possible embodiments in which the partition 13 'can be a separate disk, the Diameter iw corresponds to the inner diameter of the tubular fuse housing 2.
- the separating base 13 ′′ can have a circumferential groove, into which a radially inward indentation 20 of the fuse housing engages.
- the separating base 13 'lies between two radially inward-facing impressions 21 of the tubular fuse housing.
- each sleeve 14, 15 is provided with a transmission pin 30, 31 which, when the thermally sensitive element and the melting material become liquid in the melting material under the pressure of the assigned opening ⁇ spring 16, 18 dips and is guided on the outside of the sleeve in a disk-like guide element 32, 33.
- the two outer ends 34, 35 of the tubular fuse housing are provided with end terminations 36, 37, which consist of insulating material and contain the respective connection contacts 3, 4, on the inner ends of which the fixed contacts 5, 6 are arranged.
