Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to telecommunications systems and more particularly (although not necessarily exclusively) to thermal fuses for preventing overheating of RF devices in a telecommunication system.
  • a telecommunications device can include a cooling mechanism that can maintain the temperature of internal components of the telecommunications device such that the internal components are not damaged by heat.
  • An example of a cooling mechanism can include a forced airflow provided by a cooling fan.
  • a cooling mechanism such as a cooling fan can be powered by a power source in the telecommunications device.
  • Deficiencies in the power source can cause power to cease being provided to the cooling mechanism.
  • Deficiencies in the power source can include (but are not limited to) a defective power supply, a switching off of the power source, an over-current fuse trip, etc.
  • the loss of power to the cooling mechanism can cause the RF termination device or other components of the telecommunications device to increase in temperature such that the components will be overstrained, defective, and/or dangerous to touch.
  • Certain aspects and features of the present invention are directed to thermal fuses for preventing overheating of RF devices in a telecommunication system.
  • an RF thermal fuse in one aspect, includes a body, a conductive bolt, and a driving mechanism.
  • the body can be positioned on a transmission line between an RF signal source and an RF device.
  • the conductive bolt is positioned in the body.
  • the conductive bolt has a length sufficient to provide impedance at a point of protection on the transmission line in response to the conductive bolt contacting a live conductor of the transmission line.
  • the impedance is sufficient to reflect a portion of the incident power of an RF signal from the RF source.
  • the driving mechanism can cause the conductive bolt to contact the live conductor in response to a temperature at or near the point of protection exceeding a threshold temperature.
  • a thermal protection system in another aspect, includes multiple RF fuses.
  • Each RF fuse includes a body, a conductive bolt, and a driving mechanism.
  • the body can be positioned on a transmission line between an RF signal source and an RF device.
  • the conductive bolt is positioned in the body.
  • the conductive bolt has a length sufficient to provide impedance at a point of protection on the transmission line in response to the conductive bolt contacting a live conductor of the transmission line.
  • the driving mechanism can cause the conductive bolt to contact the live conductor in response to a temperature at or near the point of protection exceeding a threshold temperature.
  • the RF thermal fuses are positioned on the transmission line at intervals such that the RF thermal fuses provide a combined impedance that is sufficient to reflect a portion of the incident power of an RF signal in a predetermined frequency band from the RF signal source.
  • Fig. 1 is a block diagram of an example RF thermal fuse positioned along a transmission line between a base station and an RF device according to one aspect.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of an irreversible RF thermal fuse positioned along a transmission line according to one aspect.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional side view of the irreversible RF thermal fuse creating a short circuit in a transmission line according to one aspect.
  • Fig. 4 is a block diagram of an alternative example RF thermal fuse positioned along a transmission line between a base station and an RF device according to one aspect.
  • Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional side view of a reversible RF thermal fuse positioned along a transmission line according to one aspect.
  • Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional side view of the reversible RF thermal fuse creating a short circuit in a transmission line according to one aspect.
  • the protected RF device 106 being set to an "OFF" status can cease the electrical current to the coil, thereby causing the current to cease exerting an electro-magnetic force on the bolt 502.
  • the spring can expand in response to the cessation of the electro-magnetic force, thereby causing the bolt to contact the protected transmission line 108.
  • the thermal over-temperature protection fuse 1704 of the RF termination device 1702 can be coupled to the lead 1706a via a solder joint 1708.
  • the shape of the thermal over-temperature protection fuse 1704 can cause a force to be exerted that opposes the force of a solder joint 1708 coupling the thermal over-temperature protection fuse 1704 to the lead 1706a.
  • Current can flow and/or a signal can be communcated from the transmission line 108 to one or more RF device components 1712.
