The present invention relates to the structure of a PTC thermistor, and in particular to the structure of a PTC thermistor whose main purpose is to prevent the alumina plate used as an insulating plate in the PTC thermistor from cracking due to thermal shock. It is well known that barium titanate-based semiconductor ceramics have a positive temperature coefficient of resistance and are used as heating elements due to their automatic temperature control function. A thermistor having such a positive temperature coefficient is generally called a PTC thermistor or a PTC heater. Over the past few years, PTC thermistors have been widely used as constant-temperature heating elements in various household electrical appliances such as heaters and dryers, and also as elements for switching, temperature compensation, and temperature detection. It is also being used in oil atomizing stoves, stoves, etc. The automatic temperature control characteristic of PTC thermistors, in other words, the resistance value increases rapidly above the Curie point, so the amount of heat generated is automatically controlled, and the characteristic that the temperature does not exceed a certain level is extremely safe for devices that use PTC thermistors. be expensive. With the strong demand for safety these days, PTC thermistors are expected to be actively adopted in an even wider range of fields. As the application fields of PTC thermistors expand, there is a strong desire to improve their heat generation properties such as rapid heating (rise of temperature rise), thermal efficiency, and higher Curie point.
Furthermore, sufficient guarantees must be made in terms of safety and durability in use. Figure 1 shows the conventionally used flat plate
A typical structure of a PTC thermistor is shown. disc shape
The PTC ceramic 1 is sandwiched between high alumina plates 5 that serve both as electrical insulation and thermal conduction.
Electrodes 2 are formed on both sides of the PTC ceramic.
Since there is no solder that can withstand high temperatures, the electrode 2 and lead wire 4 are connected using a stainless steel plate (electrode plate) 3. When such a PTC thermistor is used, for example, in an oil gasification hot air fan, the PTC thermistor is installed below the vaporization chamber and plays the role of raising the vaporization chamber to a predetermined temperature. The alumina plate 5 plays an important role as a heat dissipation plate. For example, if the heat generation rate of the PTC ceramic heating element is increased to shorten the time from the start of a hot air fan to ignition, an accident may occur in which the alumina plate 5 breaks due to thermal shock. It's easy to get up. Furthermore, in order to move the Curie point to a higher temperature side, barium in barium titanate as a PTC ceramic is partially replaced with lead, but if a PTC ceramic heating element with a high Curie point is used, Naturally, cracks in the alumina plate become more likely to occur. One possible cause of cracks in the alumina plate is the existence of a temperature difference between the PTC ceramic heating element side of the alumina plate and the outside air side.
It is thought that the major cause is that there is uneven contact between the alumina plate 4 and the alumina plate 4, and the alumina plate is locally heated. The generation of hot spots due to localized heating, combined with the fact that PTC thermistors operate under heating-cooling cycles, tends to induce cracks in the alumina plate. Furthermore, it has been found that in connection with incomplete contact between the stainless steel plate and the alumina plate, an air gap with poor thermal conductivity existing at the interface between the two adversely affects heat conduction. Recognizing the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention has developed an alumina heat dissipation plate having aluminum sprayed layers on both sides of a stainless steel plate, by arranging the aluminum sprayed layer and the stainless steel plate facing each other. It was confirmed that cracking was significantly reduced and overall thermal conductivity was improved. The structure of a PTC thermistor according to the present invention is shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is the same as FIG. 1 except for the presence of a metal layer 6 as an aluminum spray layer, and the same members as in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers.
By interposing the metal layer 6 that is in close contact with the alumina plate 5 between the alumina plate 5 and the stainless steel plate 3, heat generation from the PTC ceramic 1 through the stainless steel plate is prevented by the metal layer having excellent thermal conductivity. It is well dispersed throughout the alumina plate. Since there is no air gap between the alumina plate 5 and the metal layer 6, and there is metal-to-metal contact between the metal layer 6 and the stainless steel plate 3, air gaps are substantially eliminated. This configuration avoids the occurrence of hot spots due to incomplete contact between the alumina plate, which has poor thermal conductivity, and the stainless steel, as in the conventional case. In addition,
The absence of air pockets in the heat transfer path between the PTC ceramic heating element and the alumina plate improves the overall heat transfer, resulting in a faster temperature rise and even lower alumina plate surface temperature after reaching equilibrium. It is extremely beneficial in that it is maintained at a high level. As explained above, the PTC thermistor according to the present invention is characterized by having a sprayed aluminum layer that improves heat dispersion, prevents local heating of the alumina plate, and eliminates the presence of air gaps. Even under the heat generation characteristics required of thermistors, and even under the heat generation characteristics that will be required to be even more severe in the future, it is sufficient to prevent cracking of the alumina heat sink and improve heat transfer ability. It is something to answer. Example Using a PTC thermistor with a structure according to Figures 1 and 2, 50 cycles of heating by applying 110 VAC for 5 minutes and cooling by turning off for 15 minutes were performed.
The crack occurrence rate after repeating the test was investigated. The number of samples is 30 each. The results are shown in the table below.
