Description

(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a fuse resistor, and more particularly to an anti-surge winding fusible resistor fuse having a thermal insulation structure and second fuse wire.

(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Protection circuits are often used in electronic circuits to isolate a failing circuit from other circuits. For example, the protection circuit can be used to avoid the cascade failure of a circuit module in an electronic vehicle engine controller; it can also be used against more serious problems such as fire caused by power supply circuit failure.

The second fuse wire is one of the above types of protection circuits. The role of the second fuse wire is similar to typical glass fuse. Namely, the fuse behaves the same as a short circuit under normal operating conditions, and like an open circuit in failure conditions. When the temperature of the second fuse wire exceeds a specific temperature, the second fuse wire then switches between the two operation modes. To facilitate these modes, the second fuse wire will include a conduction element such as a fusible wire, a group of metal contacts, or a group of welded metal contacts capable of being switched from a conductive state to a non-conductive state; in the design thereof, it may be integrated with an inductive element, the physical state of which may be changed with its temperature. For example, the induction element may be equivalent to a low melting point metal alloy or discrete molten organic compound which will melt at an actuating temperature. When the state of the induction element is changed, the conduction element will then switch to the non-conductive state by the actual interruption of power conduction path.

In operation, the current will flow through the fuse element, the state of the induction element will be changed to allow the conduction element to be switched from the conductive state to the non-conductive state once the conduction element reaches the specified temperature.

The disadvantages of the second fuse wire is in that the second fuse wire must be configured very carefully to avoid the second fuse wire reaching the temperature at which the state of the inductive element is changed. In addition, the heat loss must also be avoided; heat is not concentrated enough or is lost too much, so that the second fuse wire cannot accurately determine the start-up time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To overcome the disadvantages mentioned above, the present invention proposes an anti-surge winding fusible resistor fuse, including: a first column, one end thereof in combination with a first cap and wound around with a first fuse wire at intervals, one end of the first fuse wire in combination with the first cap; a second fuse wire, coated on an outer side of a second column, the second column in combination with another end of the first column; a first ring, configured on a contact of the first column with the second fuse wire, another end of the first fuse wire in combination with the first ring; an insulation body, in combination with another end of the second fuse wire; a third column, one end thereof in combination with another end of the insulation body, another end of the third column in combination with a second cap, the third column wound around with a third fuse wire at interval, and one end of the third fuse wire in combination with the second cap; and a second ring, configured on outsides of contacts of the insulation body with the second fuse wire and with the third column, another end of the third fuse wire in combination with the second ring.

The present invention has the following advantages: the insulation body can gather heat, increase the sensitivity of the second fuse wire, and accurately start at a preset temperature to achieve a protective effect, and the second fuse wire is positioned between the first column and third column, shaped like a traditional glass tube fuse.
