Thermal Cutoffs and manufacture method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to electronic devices and components and manufacture method, particularly a kind of flat Thermal Cutoffs and manufacture method thereof for overheat protection.
Background technology
Along with the continuous progress of science and technology, portable electric appts is day by day universal, and mobile phone, MP3, PDA, notebook computer and digital camera etc. have become the part of people's daily life.Therefore, the fail safe as the battery of these portable electric appts important component parts also more and more comes into one's own.Lithium ion chargeable battery has large capacity, and the advantage that volume is little is the main flow in current battery market.But lithium ion chargeable battery is in short circuit, overcharge or charging current when excessive, easily cause that battery acutely heats up, so that the accident of blasting, burning, the harm personal safety.So lithium ion chargeable battery requires excess temperature, overcurrent protective device must be installed.At present, the protection scheme that lithium ion chargeable battery often adopts mainly contains two kinds: PTC thermistor and Thermal Cutoffs.
The operation principle of PTC thermistor is: it is initially low resistance state, and in circuit, electric current is excessive, and when temperature raises, its resistance value sharply raises, thus the metering function of playing.And get rid of when fault, after temperature descends, it can recover low resistance state again.Therefore, the PTC thermistor be actually a kind of can self-healing fuse, can Reusability.But the PTC thermistor is when the high resistant guard mode, circuit does not disconnect fully, therefore, in circuit, still has remaining leakage current to exist, and lithium ion chargeable battery is still in running order, and potential safety hazard may exist.
The Thermal Cutoffs major part is the fusible alloy silk, and when battery temperature is elevated to the fusible alloy fusing point, the fusing of fusible alloy silk disconnects, thereby cuts off circuit protected cell.Therefore, Thermal Cutoffs, as a kind of safe and reliable battery protection scheme, is obtaining increasingly extensive application.
Current battery protection Thermal Cutoffs; common structure is two strip metal extraction electrodes; middle with the connection of fusible alloy silk, wherein the fusible alloy silk wraps up flux around connecting, and together with being attached thereto a part of strip metal extraction electrode connect, is sealed in plastic casing.Described plastic casing is formed by base plate, bonding sheet and cover cap bonding, the metal extraction electrode by hot melting cohesion between base plate and bonding sheet.Due to complex structure, bonding interface is many, easily at bonding interface, gap occurs, causes inner flux to reveal, and affects the security performance of product.
