Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate return of a fuse by forming a fuse element from a low- melting-point soluble metal containing magnetic powder, allowing a line of magnetic force to act after severance of the fuse element, and by coupling the several fuse element by magnetic force. CONSTITUTION:As a fuse element bridge over leads 1, 1, a low-melting-point soluble metal piece 2 is used which contains magnetic powder, and a heater 6 wound on an insulative cylinder 4 is installed. When this soluble metal piece 2 is melted and is turned into spheres and severed by the surface tension of the molten metal, cause of temp. running in an electric apparatus concerned is inspected, and upon necessary repair, current is supplied to induction heating coil 6 to inducively heat a fuse element piece 20 solidified after severance, and thus the deformable condition is provided. The induction heating is stopped, and the fuse element piece 20 is coupled by applying a line of magnetic force J approx, in parallel with the leads while the fuse element 20 is still soft so as to couple the fuse element piece 20. This accomplishes easy return of an alloy type thermal fuse A.

<Problem to be solved> By the way, in conventional alloy-type temperature fuses, once the fuse element melts, it is virtually impossible to return to the original state, and the fuse was originally intended for such a purpose. No, therefore, for electrical equipment, parts that cause heat generation are repaired and reused, but temperature fuses are replaced with new ones.

The ideal location for installing a thermal fuse in electrical equipment is the location where the most significant heat generation occurs when the equipment malfunctions, or the location where it is the weakest thermally, but these locations are often insulated. In many cases, it is virtually impossible to replace the temperature fuse because it is covered or located deep inside the device.For this reason, conventionally,
The temperature fuse is installed at a location where it can be easily replaced and where the above location conditions can be satisfied as much as possible.

As mentioned above, since conventional alloy type temperature fuses are intended for replacement or disposable use, installation is unreasonable due to space restrictions or uneconomical considerations. However, if the fuse element can be returned to its original connected state after the alloy type temperature fuse is activated, that is, after the fuse element is blown out, this unreasonableness can be resolved.

This is a method of reconnecting the separated fuse elements by using a magnet, and the installation of the temperature fuse is not restricted by the position as long as the magnetic lines of force can be applied by the magnet. Therefore, the temperature fuse can be installed in the desired position. Furthermore, even if an expensive low melting point fusible metal is used, it can be reused by restoration, which is economically advantageous.
