温度ヒユーズに関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a temperature fuse that has high current capacity and high fusing temperature.

Conventionally, there are two types of high-temperature fuses with temperatures above 200°C: those using organic materials for the temperature sensing part and those using non-ferrous metals. The former is housed in a sealed metal case to prevent malfunctions due to decomposition and deterioration of the temperature-sensitive material and volume reduction due to high temperatures.
Although only one end of the container is sealed with resin, the sealing performance is destroyed due to the difference in thermal expansion and contraction coefficients of the materials of the component parts due to continuous use in cycles at ambient temperatures of 200°C and room temperature.

Due to this destruction of the sealing property, the temperature fuse does not operate at the normal set value, resulting in malfunction. In addition, the latter, which uses non-ferrous metals for the temperature-sensing part, does not pose any technical problems in terms of weather resistance or airtightness, but because a large amount of fuse alloy is used in the temperature-sensing part, the resistivity of the alloy is high. It melts at a value lower than the set load flow value, causing a structural problem. In addition, the conventional high temperature type temperature fuse is 250℃.

材質を用いるため製品もコスト高となる。 In addition, the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 57-121119 utilizes the elastic force of a compressed coil spring and the restorability of a shape memory alloy installed on the opposite side to connect opposing lead wires. The bridged connector is forcibly moved to separate the lead wires. This requires both a coil spring and a shape memory alloy, resulting in a complex structure and the use of expensive materials, resulting in a high product cost.

Then, both end surfaces of the element and the contact surfaces of each lead wire where the elements fit are melted at a preset temperature and welded with a fuse alloy that has a higher specific resistance than the lead wire. The end of the tensioned coil spring is secured to the lead wire of the lead wire and the end of the element, and the coil spring is installed under tension, and as the ambient temperature rises, the fuse alloy melts and the element becomes energized by the coil spring. The gist is that the coil spring is moved to the locked lead wire side, and the engaged lead wire end and element are separated and the circuit is opened.

In this case, the flange 1a of one of the lead wires 1 is placed a little distance from the tip end surface of the lead wire so that a cylindrical element 3, which will be described later, can be inserted into the head 1b on the distal end side of the flange 1a. The head 2b of the lead wire 2 on the distal side of the collar 2a is shorter than the aforementioned head 1b.

These fuse alloys 4 and 5 are made to melt at the same set temperature, but since the element end is close to the flange 2a on the lead wire 2 side, the amount of fuse alloy 5 to be welded is limited. Although the amount of the fuse alloy 4 is small, since there is a long distance between the element end and the flange 1a on the lead wire 1 side, and the entire outer peripheral surface of the head 1b is covered, the amount of fuse alloy 4 used is large.

られる。 Further, a coil spring 6 is installed between the element 3 and one lead wire 1 side. This is done by hooking one end of the coil spring 6 to the collar 1a of the lead wire, and hooking the other end to a part of the element 3, which is connected to a protrusion protruding from the outer periphery of the lead wire 2 side end of the element 3, as shown in Fig. 1. (or collar) 3a, or the tip of the coil spring may be tapered into a conical shape, and this tapered portion 6a may be hung on the end of the element. In either case, the coil spring 6 is supported in a tensioned state between the element bridged between the lead wires 1 and 2 and the lead wire 1. shall be at a level that does not destroy the welding force of the fuse alloy before melting. An element was bridged between the two opposing lead wires under the action of a coil spring, and a fuse alloy was melted at each end of the element at a set temperature and welded to each lead wire. A case 7 is provided to cover the outer periphery of the object.

When a current value greater than ~20A is reached, the generated Joule heat exceeds the melting temperature of the fuse alloy, and
Alternatively, when the ambient temperature reaches the set melting temperature of the fuse alloy, the fuse alloys 4 and 5 melt in the electric circuit formed between the two lead wires 1 and 2 via the element. At this time, the lead wire 2 side, which is used in a small amount, melts first or at the same time as the lead wire 1 side, and when the alloy on the lead wire 1 side melts due to the tensile force of the coil spring, the element moves steeply to the lead wire 1 side. This opens the electrical circuit as shown in Figure 2.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a headed collar is provided at the tip of the lead wires that are inserted into both ends of the case so as to face each other, and an element is fitted between the ends of the lead wires that face each other to form a bridge. When welding both ends of this element to each lead wire with a fuse alloy that melts at a set temperature, use of the high resistivity fuse alloy is limited to the minimum amount necessary for fitting contact between the low resistance lead wire and the element. This makes it possible to achieve high load characteristics with a small size, and since the element is bridged by a stressed coil spring that pulls it toward one lead wire, it prevents malfunctions caused by this coil spring. On the one hand, a small amount of fuse alloy is used to prevent and engage the element and lead wire, and on the other hand, a large amount is used to increase the welding area, so the operation of the temperature fuse is accurate and reliable. Go to
Moreover, it can be assembled with a small number of parts, and a high-temperature type temperature fuse with high accuracy can be provided at low cost.
Furthermore, since the lead wire is provided with a flange, even if the internal pressure of the case increases or the lead wire is pulled by mechanical pressure outside the case, the lead wire will be prevented from jumping out of the case. Moreover, there is an advantage that the temperature fuse itself can be prevented from being destroyed.
