Description

Manufacturing method of over-current protection element with reliable weather resistance
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic components, and particularly relates to a manufacturing method of an overcurrent protection element with reliable weather resistance.
Background
A Polymer Positive Temperature Coefficient (PPTC) overcurrent protection element (PPTC for short) refers to a characteristic that a resistor reacts sensitively to Temperature change in a certain Temperature range, and when a current or a Temperature rises, a resistance value gradually increases, and a loop current decreases, so as to achieve an overcurrent protection effect; when the current or the temperature returns to normal, the resistance value returns to the low resistance state, and the device can be continuously used. The element can be used as a material for sensing current or temperature, is widely applied to an over-current or over-temperature protection circuit, and relates to the fields of automobile application, industrial control application, household appliance application, computer portable equipment application, mobile phone Bluetooth and other consumer electronics.
The polymer PPTC patch structure product is shown in figure 1 and comprises an electrode A1 ', an electrode B2 ', a PPTC composite material 3 ', a PP layer 4 ' and a PPTC copper foil 5 '; in the prior art, four sides of a PPTC composite material 3 'in a polymer PPTC patch structure product are exposed to the air, a conductive filler in the PPTC composite material 3' is easily oxidized or the PPTC composite material 3 'is corroded by moisture, and the like, and the longer the PPTC composite material 3' is exposed to the air, the higher the resistance of the product is, the more the normal rated working current characteristics of the product are affected, and the performance of the product, such as the normal service life, is affected.
In addition, the general process flow of the self-healing fuse in the prior art is as follows: firstly, polymer and a conductive object are processed in an open mill mode or in a mixing mode to form a compound, then the compound is pressed to form a PPTC (polymer PTC) chip, and finally the PPTC chip is punched and cut or processed into the self-recovery fuse through a PCB. The procedure is relatively simple, but the consistency is poor. The Polymer PTC (PPTC) material is compounded and processed by one or more conductive particles, one or more crystalline or semi-crystalline polymer materials and various additives, and the existing compound processing mode mainly selects open mill type processing or mixing processing, and then is crushed into particles or granulated; this mill processing mode is open, needs the artifical incessant packing of manual work to mix, and it is inhomogeneous to have the packing, and the material inside and the pollution risk are wrapped up in to the moisture. Non-uniform packing can lead to poor resistivity uniformity and unstable performance. The mixing processing mode is mixing in a closed chamber, but has the defects of inaccurate internal temperature control and poor mixing uniformity, and finally causes uneven distribution of the resistance value of the material.
In the process of pressing and processing the composite into the PPTC chip, electrode copper foils are covered on the upper surface and the lower surface of the PPTC composite material which is processed through compounding through a press; when in pressing, a special buffer material, namely Teflon demoulding cloth is needed, and the special buffer material and the steel plate form a multilayer structure. The process has the problems of poor thickness consistency and poor mixing uniformity of the composite material, so that the resistance distribution is not uniform enough. The reason for poor thickness consistency is that the multi-layer structure is formed by laminating and pressing a buffer material, Teflon demoulding cloth and a steel plate, and the defects of multiple positioning of lamination, large accumulated tolerance, uneven pressure and the like exist. The defects of the two processes cause the resistance value of the polymer self-recovery fuse (PPTC) to be uneven and the performance to be unstable.
The invention aims to provide a manufacturing method of an overcurrent protection element with reliable weather resistance, which takes a low-resistance thermistor as a conductive substrate, and the side surface of the thermistor is coated with a moisture-proof insulating encapsulating layer, so that the overcurrent protection element has good moisture-proof capability and side surface insulating capability and stable weather resistance. And because the manufacturing method of the low-resistance thermistor is ingenious, the whole overcurrent protection element has the advantages of good consistency and stable and reliable performance.

and sixthly, sealing the four side surfaces of the element main body by adopting a sealing process, and then performing thermocuring treatment, so that the low-resistance thermistor exposed in the air is completely encapsulated, but the first groove and the second groove are completely remained and are not encapsulated, and an encapsulating layer is formed. The upper surface and the lower surface of the whole product are not enveloped by the encapsulating layer, so that the welding strength of the product can be ensured.

Because the density fall of the material is large, if the material is processed by adopting an early open mixing type or mixing type, the material is not well mixed, so that the resistance consistency of the material is poor, and the material is easy to wrap moisture or impurities to pollute the risk; the invention mixes the polymer and the conductive material uniformly, the gas is discharged through the vacuum-pumping port during the extrusion process, the moisture in the material can be discharged through the vent hole and the vacuum-pumping port during the processing process, the polymer material is ensured to have no moisture, the degree of automation is high, the discharging is stable, the mixing is uniform, and the material performance is stable.
As an improvement of the manufacturing method of the overcurrent protection element with high weather resistance and reliability, in the second step, the specific process of melt extrusion is as follows: adding the mixture obtained in the first step into a self-temperature-control heating high-wear-resistance material cylinder from a feeding area, heating the mixture by a high-wear-resistance single screw rod, and extruding the mixture from a forming die head to form a PPTC sheet material, wherein moisture is discharged through an exhaust hole and a vacuum exhaust port which are arranged on the self-temperature-control heating high-wear-resistance material cylinder in the mixing process;

As an improvement of the manufacturing method of the high-weather-resistance reliable overcurrent protection element, eight self-temperature-control heating high-wear-resistance material cylinders are arranged, wherein the temperature in the first self-temperature-control heating high-wear-resistance material cylinder farthest away from the forming die head is 120-150 ℃, the temperature from the second self-temperature-control heating high-wear-resistance material cylinder to the eighth self-temperature-control heating high-wear-resistance material cylinder is 235-275 ℃, and the temperature of the forming die head is 235-275 ℃; the vacuum degree of the vacuum exhaust port is less than 500 Psi; the temperature of the upper roller and the lower roller is 180-220 ℃; the rotating speed of the roller is set to be between 2 and 5 scales.

In the invention, according to the volume ratio, the conductive substance accounts for more than 3 times of the polymer powder; the density drop between the conductive substance and the polymer is large, and the conductive substance is easy to settle or overflow in the polymer due to gravity factor in the molten or expanded state of the high polymer material, so that the PTC positive temperature effect is weakened; the cross-linking property of the internal high molecular structure of the PPTC chip which is not subjected to electronic irradiation is unstable, so that the heat resistance and the aging resistance of the PPTC composite material are poor, the resistance change is unstable after a long time, the resistance change rate is high, the PPTC effect is poor, and the service life of the PPTC is greatly shortened; therefore, the PPTC chip can enhance the cross-linking of the macromolecular structure by carrying out electron irradiation, enhance the positive temperature effect of the PPTC, enhance the heat resistance and the ageing resistance, and ensure the service life and the safety of the PPTC. By reasonably controlling the lamination quantity, the electron beam energy control, the electron beam flow control and the irradiation trolley speed, the uniformity of the irradiation absorbed dose of the PPTC chip is finally achieved, and the heat resistance and the ageing resistance of the PPTC chip are improved.
