Abstract

The idea about the components in object comes from the troubles actually matched to geet an easy and systematic thermic protection for electrical equipments. Over-heating, and possibility of fire, is often caused by socket over-load, small wire selection or false contact in junction box. These components, named 'Thermic Protection Terminal', 'Thermic Protection 'One piece' Socket', 'Modular Thermic Sensor', 'Thermic Protection Box', can cut off only the interested circuits before temperature rises to dangerous levels.

Description

THERMIC PROTECTION ELECTRIC COMPONENT
DESCRIPTION
The idea to patent this utility model comes from the troubles actually
matched to get an easy and systematic thermic protection for electrical
equipments.
Looking to the modern trend to build up more and more safe
installations, we have provided some components able to avoid over-heating and
fire in electrical sockets or i junction boxes or generally in electrical cabinets.
Indeed, over-heating is often caused by socket over load, small wire
selection or false contact injunction box.
The idea is to have a low cost thermic sensor in terminals, boxes and
sockets.
The Thermic Protection Terminal, (TPT) (Fig.l, Fig.2, Fig.3, Fig.4,
Fig.5, Fig.6), which can be used in any electrical connection, keeps a thermic
sensor in central position. The sensor can drive an automatic braker or/and an
alarm as soon as the temperature rises. In the proposed drawings are two
possible kind of TPT: free tenninal or DIN bar terminal.
The Thermic Protection "One piece" Socket, (Fig.7, Fig.8), keeps in
central position a thermic sensor. Like for the Terminal, the sensor will check
the temperature inside the socket. i Fig.9, Fig.10, Fig.11 is shown a modular mermic protection system to
put in chassis. The sensor is shown in Fig.11.
The Thermic Protection Box (TPB), which can be a socket box, a
junction box, or a small electrical cabinet (Fig.12, Fig.13), is subdivided in two
partitions: the first (n.3 in Fig.12 and Fig.13) keeps thermic sensor line, the other
one (n.4 in Fig.12 and Fig.13) keeps all the other necessary lines. The thermic
sensor, installed in the screen between the partitions, intervenes as soon as in the
partition 4 (see drawings) the temperature rises to dangerous levels: it
immediately drives an automatic braker (with or without an alarm) which cuts
off the interested circuit. The drawings Fig.12 and Fig.13 show two possible
kinds of TPB, but it's evidently possible to extend the TPB to the rich choice of
boxes actually used for electrical equipments.

Claims

1) An electrical component (box, terminal, socket) with a built in thermic sensor.
This one drives an automatic protection system as soon as the temperature rises
to dangerous levels in the component.
2) An electric terminal, according to Claim 1), characterized in that there is a built
in thermic sensor in central position (Fig.l, Fig.2, Fig.3, Fig.4, Fig.5, Fig.6).
3) A "One piece" socket, according to Claim 1), characterized in that there is a
built in thermic sensor in central position (Fig.7, Fig.8).
4) A thermic protection modular socket, according to Claim 1), characterized in
that it's possible to insert a modular thermic sensor into the chassis (Fig.9,
Fig.10, Fig.11).
5) A modular box, according to Claim 1), characterized in that it's subdivided in
two partitions: the first (n.3 in Fig.12) keeps thermic sensor line, the other one
(n.4 in Fig.12) keeps all the other necessary lines; the thermic sensor is
installed in the screen between the partitions.
6) A junction box, , according to Claim 1), characterized in that it's subdivided in
two partitions: the first (n.3 in Fig.13) keeps thermic sensor line, the other one
(n.4 in Fig.13) keeps all the other necessary lines; the thermic sensor is
installed in the screen between the partitions.
