Description

一种夹层式电阻器 技术领域
本发明涉及电阻技术领域,具体涉及一种夹层式电阻器。
背景技术
电阻器一般包括多片并列的电阻片,在大电流作用下,相邻两片电阻片之间容易吸合,为防止电阻片之间吸合,现有技术是在每一片的电阻片上开有同轴的孔,中间加云母串杆和云母环来隔开相邻的电阻片,即云母串杆每穿过一片电阻片后,再穿过一个云母环,然后再穿过下一片电阻片,这样相邻电阻片之间就通过该云母环来隔开。
然而现有的片式电阻器的电阻片都是外露的,防尘防污等级低。因绝缘要求,现有的相邻电阻片之间必须存在间隙,则电阻片不可避免地在排列方向存在位移空间,大电流通过时会使电阻片发热而变形,甚至不同程度地相互吸合,影响稳定性以及绝缘性能。
技术问题

技术解决方案
针对现有技术存在上述技术问题,本发明提供一种夹层式电阻器,防尘防污等级高,绝缘性好,稳定性高。
为实现上述目的,本发明提供以下技术方案:

具体的,所述弯曲段的弯曲直径等于绝缘分隔片的厚度。
具体的,所述弯曲段设有U形的铜条,铜条的侧面与弯曲段的侧壁相贴合。
具体的,电阻片的弯曲段顶住对应过渡孔的侧壁,铜条贴合于弯曲段的内侧。
具体的,最顶层和最底层的电阻片局部朝外延伸出电阻单元外作为引出端,对应的绝缘分隔片开有让位缺口。
具体的,支撑模块包括底座、支撑板、压板和锁紧组件,支撑板固定于底座,电阻单元层叠在支撑板上,锁紧组件将压板固定于底座,从而使得压板朝下压住电阻单元,压板和电阻单元之间、支撑板与电阻单元之间均为所述绝缘分隔片。
具体的,绝缘分隔片的周侧开有多个凹槽,锁紧组件包括螺杆和螺母,螺杆穿过压板并嵌入多片绝缘分隔片的凹槽中,再穿过支撑板和底座后结合螺母锁紧,从而纵向横向限位住电阻单元。

本发明的实施方式
以下结合具体实施例及附图对本发明进行详细说明。
本实施例的夹层式电阻器,如图1至图7所示,包括支撑模块1和电阻单元2,电阻单元2包括依次间隔层叠布置的多片电阻片21和多片绝缘分隔片22,绝缘分隔片22的靠近端部的位置开有过渡孔221,电阻片21的端部一体成型有弯曲段211,弯曲段211穿过所述过渡孔221与另一电阻片21相连接,从而使多片电阻片21电连接起来;每片电阻片21的两侧面均被不同的绝缘分隔片22贴紧覆盖,灰尘等杂质基本不会落到电阻片21表面,因此防尘防污等级高;电阻片21在排列方向没有变形的空间,因此电阻片21在通电后完全不会变形,不同电阻片21更加不会相靠近移动,因而结构稳定,绝缘性能好。
本实施例中,所述弯曲段211的弯曲直径等于绝缘分隔片22的厚度,这样弯曲段211较为圆滑地过渡,避免压紧折坏。弯曲段211设有U形的铜条23,铜条23的侧面与弯曲段211的侧壁相贴合。采用铜条23限位,防止夹紧过程断裂,提高通流能力。电阻片21的弯曲段211顶住对应过渡孔221的侧壁,这样进一步阻止电阻片21横向移动,便于定位导向安装,铜条23贴合于弯曲段211的内侧。
本实施例中,最顶层和最底层的电阻片21局部朝外延伸出电阻单元2外作为引出端212,用于与其它电阻器或使用设备连接,对应的绝缘分隔片22开有让位缺口供引出端212穿出。
本实施例中,支撑模块1包括底座11、支撑板12、压板13和锁紧组件14,支撑板12固定于底座11,电阻单元2层叠在支撑板12上,锁紧组件14将压板13固定于底座11,从而使得压板13朝下压住电阻单元2,压板13和电阻单元2之间、支撑板12与电阻单元2之间均为所述绝缘分隔片22。压板13为不锈钢板。绝缘分隔片22的周侧开有多个凹槽222,锁紧组件14包括螺杆141和螺母142,螺杆141穿过压板13并嵌入多片绝缘分隔片22的凹槽222中,再穿过支撑板12和底座11后结合螺母142锁紧,从而纵向横向限位住电阻单元2。螺杆141的外侧套有限位套143,限位套143与绝缘分隔片22的凹槽222过盈配合,限位套143为陶瓷筒,或者柔性的硅胶筒。
实际中,绝缘分隔片22的厚度为电阻片21的3~5倍,巧妙的厚度设置,电阻片21较薄,便于绝缘分隔片22将热量吸收传递出散热。绝缘分隔片22优选为云母片,云母本身可以吸收热量,可以提供能量。
最后应当说明的是,以上实施例仅用以说明本发明的技术方案,而非对本发明保护范围的限制,尽管参照较佳实施例对本发明作了详细地说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解,可以对本发明的技术方案进行修改或者等同替换,而不脱离本发明技术方案的实质和范围。
