Definitions
- the present invention relates to the preamble claimed and is thus concerned with a fuse holder.
- fuse holders are used to fix an electrical fuse such as a fuse so that it can be easily replaced in case of damage.
- household electrical appliances and the like are equipped to protect against malfunction, to limit the current flowing through the device in the event of damage or error.
- Such miniature fuses must be interchangeable with high quality equipment.
- the fuses must either be placed on the device itself or already in a power plug, as is the case in the United Kingdom.
- a known fuse holder in such plugs comprises two generally U-shaped bent sheet metal strips which are fixed to the bottom of the "U u and clamp with their legs a fuse.
- the object of the present invention is to provide new products for commercial use.
- a first essential aspect of the invention is therefore to move the closure of the fuse between a contact position and a fuse changing position so that the contacts in the fuse changing position by the closure are at least largely, preferably completely covered.
- the present invention further proposes, inter alia or additionally and / or alternatively, a fuse holder with a fixed sheet-metal strip for contacting a fuse, in which it is provided that the sheet-metal strip is fixed on one side, mounted opposite one another and for securing contact in the intermediate region. is seen.
- the metal strips can be made of brass as well as stainless steel.
- the use of brass is particularly advantageous because it is a common material in the electrotechnical industry, which is readily accepted in particular in approval procedures.
- the metal strips may be formed in particular of stainless steel.
- the fuse holder of the present invention is preferably used in contacting molten or fine Fuses used as replaceable fuses on electrical appliances or, in certain countries such as Great Britain, in plugs.
- the fuse is contacted in such fins on the metal glass tube caps, on that part of the metal caps, which lie on the cylinder jacket.
- the metal strip will typically be fixed to a base plate of the fuse holder, which in turn may be integrally formed with an electrical device, power plug or the like.
- the spaced fixation of the sheet metal strip allows the sheet metal strip yields slightly when pressing the fuse, so that when fixing the fuse in the pressed position, a sufficiently high contact pressure is obtained. If a spaced fixation of the metal strip to the base plate is out of the question, such a spring effect can also be achieved otherwise, for example in a sufficiently yielding base plate.
- the mounting of the metal strip opposite the fixation, ie at the other end of the strip is such that the metal strip can move well there and in particular is displaceably mounted.
- the fuse holder is formed so that the surface along which the sheet metal strip can move, is inclined to the general direction of extension of the sheet metal strip. This makes it possible to provide a sheet metal strip bend, which leads to an improved contact pressure by spring action.
- the metal strip will typically have a contact zone where it generally corresponds to the fuse contour. This ensures that the fuse always reaches the same position, ensuring particularly reproducible properties. It is preferred if the metal strip extends generally tangentially to a securing-engaging rotary member. This makes it possible to turn by a rotating element, the fuse in the use position and from this. A user can easily change the backup.
- a metal strip it may actually be a strip-shaped piece of a larger element over which, for example, a wire crimped, welded or otherwise secured or with which a connection to a Plug pin can be provided.
- a connection to a Plug pin can be provided.
- the connector pins when forming the connector pins as stamped parts, optionally a one-piece production with the inventively designed sheet metal strip area is possible.
- the fixation of the metal strip on its one side can be done by welding to a plastic substrate, for example by a through hole is provided in the metal strip, is injected through which plastic material in the manufacture of a body.
- the fixation can also be done by clamping or by positive engagement, for example by stops on the shoulder area and the like.
- the micro-fuse can also be contacted on the front side, that is on the end faces of the metal caps, which are typically provided on both sides of a micro-fuse. Again, this is considered to be innovative in itself as independent of a screw cap.
- the fine-wire fuse is contacted only on these surfaces. This is preferred because it allows a particularly simple closing movement. If conventional, generally C-shaped locking contact elements are used, the fuse must be pushed into them from the C opening side, ie moved in translation into it. In principle, although an embodiment of the invention is possible even with such a movement. But it is particularly preferred if the closure is designed to be rotatable.
- the closure is rotatable, this allows a particularly simple and compact design of a Feinellotechnischsan angel invention.
- the closure may be rotatable about an eccentric axis for securing, wherein it is not necessarily more than a full circle or only a whole circle must be rotatable, but preferably can only be rotated to a limited extent, for example by 270 ° (a 360 ° full circle).
- the removal of the fuse can be done in the axial direction, including the fuse can be moved with the rotary closure, for example in the manner of a cartridge in a revolver drum in front of an opening.
- a radial removal is possible, which is generally preferred, especially if the closure at the same time controls the use of the plug by its position.
- the fuse assembly of the present invention is principally applicable to any type of electrical device, it is particularly preferred for the fuse assembly of the present invention to be used in power connectors.
- the power plug is for a GB standard, i. designed in the United Kingdom plug. These can be formed foldable.
- the fuse arrangement is particularly useful when the power plug has a movable element on it, which must be inserted in the correct position aligned with an outlet to effect release of electrical energy.
- the miniature fuse arrangement of the present invention by configuring the closure, it can be achieved that the element can not be moved to the energy release position unless the closure is closed.
- a recess may be provided in the closure into which a projection of the movable element must penetrate in order to move the movable element into the release position.
- the closure can be automatically closed by the element to be moved into the energy release position.
- mutually sliding plastic surfaces or the like can be provided in the interior of a handle body, which are moved by the element.
- the to be equipped with a micro-fuse of the present invention power plug will preferably be fuseless on its side facing the socket side pin side.
- FIG. 1 a shows an exploded view of a (foldable)
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the plug of
- Fig. 1 with a view of the fuse holder.
- FIG. 4a, 4b show the closure of the miniature fuse arrangement of the present invention shortly before reaching the contact position (FIG. 4a) and in the fuse replacing position (FIG. 4b), FIG.
- Fig. 5 shows a preferred embodiment for preventing a current drain at not completely closed closure.
- a fuse holder generally designated 1, comprises a fixed sheet metal strip 3 for contacting a fuse 4 on a electrical device embodied here as a foldable plug of the GB standard, wherein the sheet metal strip 3 is fixed on one side on page 3a and is mounted opposite at point 3b and formed for fuse contacting in a region 3c therebetween.
- the power plug 2 has a fuse holder of the present Having the invention with two inventively designed sheet metal strips, wherein the section of Fig. 2, the second sheet metal strip 5 is in section. The corresponding sheet metal strip 5 contacting the fuse can be seen better in FIG.
- the fuse holder 1 is used in the present case for contacting of miniature fuses, that is fuses, as they are provided in the United Kingdom in plugs.
- the fuse holder 1 is completely enclosed by the case formed here from two half-shells 2a, 2b and a rotatably mounted in the housing safety catch 6, so that there is no danger for a user to get to the contacts of the fuse holder, that is the metal strips.
- the fuse holder 6 is configured and stored so that a removal of the fuse holder from the housing of the power plug 2 after assembly of the half shells is impossible and that touching the metal strip 3 (or 5) from the outside not is possible. That the Sich ceremoniessmit constitutional 6 is locked by a blocking element 2al, which is provided on the housing half-shell 2a, should be mentioned. This further contributes to the safety of the fuse holder.
- the metal strips 3 are punched and folded from brass, but the use of other materials is also possible.
- the applicability of stainless steel is explicitly stated.
- One of the metal strips has on one side a contact 3d, with which it can be struck against the pin 7a.
- a sheet metal strip is provided, which is guided laterally past the inventive arrangement and to a bar.
- the other metal strip according to the invention has at the end remote from the securing area a crimping area 5f for striking a power line strand 8, see Fig. 2.
- the two metal strips of the fuse holder are thus fixed or stored in different ways and otherwise arranged so that they are electrically connected via the fuse are.
- Fig. 2 shows a section which is so far inside the power plug housing, that the metal strip, which leads from the second pin to the strand is no longer shown, but only the 5d of the plug pin end away transversely outward approach 5g approach and the wire connection recognize.
- the view of the inventive design is largely free.
- the metal strip is clamped in the present embodiment on the one hand by the crimping of the end 5f to the power cord 8 and on the other hand to the clamping of the area 5al between a drooping element 2a2 of the upper half-shell 2a and a counter element 2bl and thereby fixed.
- the half-shells 2a, 2b are so close in the area of the clamping 5al that a fixing effect is exerted on the sheet-metal strip by the hanging-down element.
- the metal strip 5 is then starting from the terminal point 5al initially upwards, away from the lower housing half-shell 2b curved, compare arc 5h to fall from its apex again with a bow 5i in a curve approximately the radius 4a2 of the metal cap 4al the Schmelzsiche - 4 is adjusted.
- the metal strip is then swung in the direction of the upper housing half shell 2a up to a vertex 5j and then guided arcuately to the bearing 2bl.
- the vertices 5h and 5j have approximately the same height relative to the lower housing half shell, so that a good snug to the metal cap 4al of the microfuse 4 results.
- the bearing surface 2bl is inclined slightly against the general extension direction of the sheet metal strip and the sheet metal strip 5, coming from above, adapts to this inclination with an arcuate contour.
- the bearing area 2b of the bearing surface is also rounded in the upper or front region, so that tolerance is given to slightly varying radii 4a2 of alternating fuses 4 by enabling movement of the metal strip 5 on the bearing surface 2bl.
- a miniature fuse arrangement generally designated II '1, comprises contacts II' 2a, II '2b for making contact with an interchangeable micro-fuse II' 3 and a fuse II "4 enabling a fine-fuse change the contacts contacting contact position and the contacts at least largely concealing backup change position (Fig. 4b) is formed.
- the miniature fuse arrangement II '1 in the present case is formed on a power plug II "8, as used in the United Kingdom.
- power fuses must be provided on the power plugs themselves
- power is only released from a socket if in It is not absolutely necessary that the third pin, which is typically used as a ground pin, actually conducts itself, it is only needed to unlock the current release.
- a GB plug is shown in which the third pin is made of plastic.
- the contacts II "2 are punched in the present case of conductive sheet metal, wherein one of the contacts II" 2a is directly connected to a plug pin II '6a in a conductive connection and the other contact II' 2b is guided to a stop strand II "7, which again at a crimped connection II "7a is posted.
- the second conductive pin II "6b is connected via a likewise formed from sheet metal line element II” 8 with another wire of Netzan gleichlitze II "7, to which he is also crimped at a crimp II" 7b with this.
- the micro-fuse II "3 is a conventional micro-fuse suitable carrying capacity and has on the front sides in the usual way metal caps II" 3a, II “3b and a glass body between them.
- the contacts II "2a, II" 2b are formed so that the contact pressure against the end face, see. II “3bl, is sufficiently large to permanently carry the permissible current without significant, that is to say dangerous or untolerable heating.
- the shutter II "4 is rotatably formed, as indicated by the rotation arrow II" 9.
- the closure on its outer surface is at least partially where it is accessible through an opening II "10 in the power plug housing II” lla, provided with a corrugation II "4a.
- the closure II '4 is rotatable between the closed position, see. Fig. 4a, which does not show the closure completely closed and a fuse changing position, see. Fig. 4b.
- a rounded bearing Il'llbl, II'llb2 is provided in a power plug shell II 'IIb, on which the closure can be rotated.
- the design of the closure is such that it can not be removed when assembled Netzsteckerober- and lower shell, but held captive and at the same time is rotatably mounted.
- a recess II' 4b is provided, which is adapted to the contour of the microfinance II '3 and this can take on the rotation of the closure in the direction of the double arrow II' 9 between the contact position, in which the end faces of the Microfuse II '3 with the contacts II "2a, II'b come into contact and the removal position, in which the micro-fuse II' 3 through the opening of the power connector housing II '10 is accessible to make a fuse change
- the Closure II '4 further on a recess II' 4c, which can cooperate with a shoulder II '5d of the unlocking or release pin when the closure is in the contact position in which the fine fuse is contacted on both sides of the contacts II' 2.
- the interaction is such that the approach II '5d can penetrate with correctly aligned closure in the recess II' 4c and thereby the release pin II '5 can be pivoted in an orientation in which the power plug can be inserted into a standard socket, while not correctly rotated in the contact position closure a pivoting of the pin II' 5 in the release position is not possible.
- the contacts II '2a, II' 2b are not accessible from the outside, but completely covered.
- a power plug with a miniature fuse arrangement of the present invention is used as follows:
- the release pin is moved into a release position with the microfuse in contact position and the plug is inserted into a socket.
- the fuse When in use, the fuse responds and must be changed, the plug is first pulled and the release pin pivoted away from the closure, so that the closure is unlocked because the projection II "5d no longer in recess II" 4c penetrates. Now, the fuse can be turned to the fuse exchange position by turning the shutter, changing the fuse and turning the shutter back to the contact position, whereupon the release pin can again be pivoted to the correct position. Since the contacts are covered in the release position, they are thus inaccessible, not even for children playing and the like, who make to create an inserted power plug. After use, the plug can be moved back to a flat rest position.
