Conventional overcharge protection devices detect the temperature of the battery when it is fully charged, open a charging circuit via a thermal switch that operates and operate the thermal switch, or detect the full charge pressure with a voltage sensor. An electric control circuit type protection device in which charging is stopped by a control circuit has been common.
The detection value of the thermal switch type protection device is not a direct voltage detection because the detected value is a temperature substitution characteristic of the battery case temperature near full charge, the temperature detection delay, and the temperature at full charge depends on the type of battery In some cases, the protection accuracy is not always sufficient, for example, the correlation between the voltage and the voltage is not clear.
Although the electric control circuit type protection device has good protection accuracy, it is expensive due to the components and is not necessarily economical, and the current protection devices have their respective disadvantages.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventional overcharge protection devices and voltage fluctuation control circuits have the following disadvantages.
(A) The thermal switch type protection device that senses the temperature substitute characteristic has poor control voltage accuracy due to the fact that it is not a direct voltage detection and a delay in heat conduction.
(B) The voltage sensor and the electric control circuit type device are expensive and uneconomical due to the large number of constituent control parts.
(C) Detection and control of a static voltage where no load current flows cannot be performed.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In the structural diagram of the present invention (FIG. 1), a voltage sensing terminal (8) is connected to a controlled voltage circuit such as a rechargeable battery. The circuit control terminal (9) is connected to a control device such as a charger, a voltage display device, and the like. When the voltage of a controlled device such as a rechargeable battery reaches the set operating voltage (diode voltage) of the Zener diode (2), the Zener diode (2) is closed and simultaneously generates heat with Joule heat. The bimetal desk (1) closely bonded to the Zener diode (2) via a movable arm (6) made of a thin and highly heat-conductive metal material causes the bimetal desk (1) to perform an inversion operation when a predetermined temperature is reached due to thermal coupling.
