Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow several ten to several hundred minutes for breaking the current in accordance with the magnitude of the current therethrough and make it possible to cut off a load circuit before a lead wire connected to the circuit begins to fume, by providing a heat absorbing block made of inorganic material and a fuse element in the form of a thin film stuck to the surface of the heat absorbing block. CONSTITUTION:Flow of an excess current which is several times as large as its rated current causes a current the value of which is one-half of the excess current to flow through each of fuse element 8, 9 so that an extreme rise in the temperature of each of the fuse elements 8, 9 is prevented. The film of each of the fuse elements 8, 9 is very thin i.e., 18-22mum so that its temperature easily rises, and each of them fuses when its temperature rises to its fusion temperature, thereby breaking the circuit. Each of the fuse elements 8, 9 being stuck to a heat absorbing block, a part of heat generated at each of the heat elements 8, 9 is absorbed by the heat absorbing block 7, so that the time needed for the temperature of each of the elements to reach its fusion temperature ranges from several ten to several hundred minutes in accordance with its current value, which time is from several to several ten times longer than in the case of a glass tube fuse.

At this time, a part of the heat generated in the fusing part is absorbed by the heat absorbing body 3 via the niremen 2a, so the temperature rise in the fusing part 2b is slowed down, and the fuse element 2 which is at the fusing temperature
It takes several to several tens of times longer to reach the melting point of a glass tube fuse than a glass tube fuse. As a result, the circuit will not be cut off even if an overcurrent several times the steady current flows at the start of energization, even when there is no abnormality, such as in a motor load circuit. On the other hand, when an abnormal overcurrent flows due to a short circuit or the like, it takes a certain amount of time, but the circuit can be cut off before the load is damaged.

In the fuse according to the embodiment of the present invention connected to a load circuit, when an overcurrent several times the steady current flows due to a short circuit or the like, a current equal to the value divided in half of the overcurrent flows through the fuse elements 8 and 9. Therefore, an extreme temperature rise in fuse elements 8 and 9 can be prevented. The fuse elements 8 and 9 are usually thin, with a film thickness of 18 to 22 μm, and the temperature immediately starts to rise, and when the fuse elements 8 and 9 reach the melting temperature, they are blown and the circuit is cut off. If there is no heat absorbing block 7, the fuse elements 8 and 9 will melt within one second, but since the fuse elements 8 and 9 are bonded to the heat absorbing block, the heat generated in the fuse elements 8 and 9 will be absorbed. Since part of the fuse is absorbed by the heat absorbing block 7, it takes tens of seconds to hundreds of seconds to reach the melting temperature depending on the current value, which is several times to several tens of times longer than that of a glass tube fuse.
