Description

本発明は、自動車の電気回路に組み込まれるヒューズに関し、特に、中・低電流域での負荷サイクルに対して溶断することなくその耐久性能を向上させることができかつ大電流(過電流)域での溶断特性を確実にして接続電線の発煙保護性を向上させることができるヒューズに関する。   The present invention relates to a fuse incorporated in an electric circuit of an automobile, and in particular, can improve its durability performance without fusing with respect to a duty cycle in a middle / low current region and in a large current (overcurrent) region. It is related with the fuse which can improve the fuming protection property of a connection electric wire by ensuring the fusing characteristic of this.

自動車の電気回路に組み込まれる従来のヒューズの場合、頻繁に発生するモータロック電流である定格の200%程度の電流が短かい時間で流れ、かつ、これが繰返された場合、比較的早いサイクルで溶断し、耐久性に劣るという問題点があった。   In the case of a conventional fuse incorporated in an electric circuit of an automobile, a current of about 200% of the rated value, which is a frequently generated motor lock current, flows in a short time, and if this is repeated, it blows at a relatively fast cycle. However, there was a problem that it was inferior in durability.

例えば、自動車ドアのパワウインド開閉の際は、モータロック電流として短かい時間(例えば10sec)で、定格の2倍程度の中電流域の電流が流れ、これが頻繁に繰返されるが、このような場合ヒューズは切れるべきではない。
この種のヒューズには従来より2つのタイプがある。
1つは可溶金属導体の溶断部に低融点金属チップを乗せてなるヒューズであり、もう1つは一対のメス端子間をつなぐ細幅状エレメント部の中央に幅狭の溶断部を挟んでなるヒューズである。
For example, when opening and closing the power window of an automobile door, a current in the middle current region about twice the rating flows in a short time (for example, 10 sec) as the motor lock current, and this is frequently repeated. The fuse should not blow.
There are two types of fuses of this type.
One is a fuse in which a low melting point metal chip is placed on the melted part of a fusible metal conductor, and the other is a narrow melted part sandwiched in the center of a narrow element part connecting a pair of female terminals. It is a fuse.

<Conventional fuse with low melting point metal chip>
Patent Document 1 describes a fuse in which a low melting point metal chip is placed on a melted portion of a fusible metal conductor. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a fuse 50 of this type.
In FIG. 5, 50A is a low melting point metal chip formed by extruding into a linear shape and cut together and 50B is an element as a plate-like soluble metal conductor, and the fuse 50 is constituted by both 50A and 50B. Is done. The element 50B has a fusible portion 53 having a smaller cross-sectional area (for example, 0.3 mm 2 ) than the cross-sectional area of the wiring wire to be connected, and flat terminals 52, 52 bent downward at right angles in the figure at both ends. Have. The terminals 52 and 52 are provided with holes 55 and 55 attached to a junction block or a connector housing. The chip 50A is placed on the fusible part 53 of the element 50B, and is crimped and attached to the fusible part 53 by ear parts 54, 54 protruding integrally on both sides.
The material of the fusible metal conductor 50B, which is an element, is a copper (Cu) alloy whose base material is the same material as the conductive wire. That is, it is a Cu alloy that contains some Fe and P in Cu.
The material of the low melting point metal tip 50A is made of an alloy of Cu and tin (Sn) having a melting point lower than that of Cu.

〈従来のヒューズ50の長所〉
以上のように、可溶金属導体の母材と同一材質の金属であるCuが低融点金属Snのチップ中に含まれているため、導体の母材Cuはチップ中の小量のCuの存在により、チップSnへの侵食・拡散がチップ中の小量のCuの作用時間及びその量だけ遅れ、抑制されるもので、従って、中低電流域での負荷サイクルにおいて発熱温度300℃位までは早期にヒューズ溶断を生ぜず、耐久性が向上したものとなる。また、300℃を越える大電流域、即ち異常電流が流れた場合は、チップ50A中のCuが小量であるためただちに低融点金属Snのチップ50Aが溶け、この溶けたSnに可溶部53のCuが侵食拡散し、このCu−Snの侵食拡散作用により可溶部53が切断し、Cuの融点より低い温度でヒューズを溶断させるというものである。
<Advantages of the conventional fuse 50>
As described above, Cu, which is a metal of the same material as the base material of the fusible metal conductor, is contained in the chip of the low melting point metal Sn, so that the base material Cu of the conductor is the presence of a small amount of Cu in the chip. Thus, the erosion / diffusion of the chip Sn is delayed and suppressed by the action time and the amount of the small amount of Cu in the chip. Therefore, the heat generation temperature is up to about 300 ° C. in the load cycle in the middle and low current range. The fuse is not blown early and the durability is improved. Further, when a large current region exceeding 300 ° C., that is, when an abnormal current flows, the chip 50A of the low melting point metal Sn immediately melts because the amount of Cu in the chip 50A is small, and the soluble portion 53 is dissolved in the melted Sn. Cu is eroded and diffused, and the soluble portion 53 is cut by the erosion and diffusion action of Cu—Sn, and the fuse is blown at a temperature lower than the melting point of Cu.

〈従来の「幅狭の溶断部」つきヒューズ〉
また、引用文献2には、従来の幅狭の溶断部つきヒューズが記載されている。
図6はこのタイプのヒューズ60の斜視図である。
図6に示すように、このヒューズエレメント60は一対のメス端子61A、61Bの上端部間をつなぐ細幅状エレメント部62の中央の溶断部63を挟んで、その両側に、幅狭の短い渡し64を介してウィング65を一枚の導電板の打ち抜きにより形成したものである。ウィング65は予想される蓄熱量の大きさに応じて幾重にも折り畳むことで調整できる。
<Conventional fuse with "narrow fusing part">
Further, cited document 2 describes a conventional fuse with a narrow fusing part.
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a fuse 60 of this type.
As shown in FIG. 6, the fuse element 60 has a narrow and short cross between both sides of a fusing part 63 at the center of the narrow element part 62 that connects the upper ends of the pair of female terminals 61A and 61B. A wing 65 is formed by punching one conductive plate through 64. The wing 65 can be adjusted by folding several times according to the expected amount of heat storage.

〈従来のヒューズ60の長所〉
このタイプのヒューズ60においては、上述の構成により、過電流の初期においてはウイング65により熱が吸収され蓄熱されるので、負荷サイクルにおいて細幅状エレメント部62の中央溶断部63が直ちに溶断することがなくなる。
<Advantages of the conventional fuse 60>
In this type of fuse 60, heat is absorbed and stored by the wings 65 in the initial stage of overcurrent due to the above-described configuration, so that the central fusing portion 63 of the narrow element portion 62 is immediately blown out during a duty cycle. Disappears.

低融点金属チップつきヒューズの課題は、大電流域・低電流域での溶断特性を現行ヒューズと同様に維持して、中電流域での負荷サイクルに対して早く溶断することなく、その耐久性能を向上させなくてはならないこと、であった。
また、低融点金属チップのないヒューズの課題は、大電流域での溶断特性を現行と同様に維持して、接続電線の発煙保護性を達成すること、すなわち、電線接続部(導電部)への熱影響を減少させ、周囲部品への熱影響を減少させなければならないことである。言い換えれば、後述の「電線発煙特性」を超えないようにして電線保護領域を拡大することである。
The problem with fuses with low melting point metal chips is that they maintain the blowing characteristics in the large current range and low current range in the same way as current fuses, and do not blow out quickly against the load cycle in the medium current range. It was to be improved.
Also, the problem with fuses without low melting point metal chips is to maintain the fusing characteristics in the large current range as before and to achieve the fumes protection of the connected wires, that is, to the wire connection part (conductive part) It is necessary to reduce the heat effect on the surrounding parts. In other words, the wire protection area is expanded without exceeding the “wire smoke generation characteristics” described later.

<Effect of carbon fiber>
Furthermore, since carbon fiber is applied as a black paint, the thermal conductivity is increased, so that smoke protection and further reduction of the thermal influence on the electric wire connecting portion can be remarkably improved.
<Tuning effect of resistance value>
The characteristics can be changed by tuning the resistance value of the black paint according to the rated value.

図1は実施例1に係る低融点金属チップつきヒューズで、(a)は表側、(b)は裏側である。このヒューズ10は、炭素繊維で構成される黒色塗料10Cを図7の板状導体エレメント10’に塗布して成るものである。黒色塗料10Cは図1のサークル10H、10Hで囲った部分(すなわち、板状導体エレメント10’の中央の中低電流域溶断部10Mを除く全域)の表側および裏側にそれぞれ塗布されている。塗布の方法はスプレー等の塗布によりエレメント表面に炭素繊維を付着させ、付着させたくない部位には予めマスキングを施しておけばよい。
<Fuse with Low Melting Point Metal Chip According to Example 1>
FIG. 1 shows a fuse with a low melting point metal chip according to the first embodiment, where (a) is the front side and (b) is the back side. The fuse 10 is formed by applying a black paint 10C made of carbon fiber to the plate-like conductor element 10 'shown in FIG. The black paint 10C is applied to the front side and the back side of the portions surrounded by the circles 10H and 10H in FIG. 1 (that is, the entire region excluding the middle / low current region fusing portion 10M in the center of the plate-like conductor element 10 ′). As a coating method, carbon fibers are attached to the surface of the element by application such as spraying, and masking may be performed in advance on a portion that is not desired to be attached.

〈ヒューズ10の作用〉
このように図1のヒューズ10は熱導伝率の高い炭素繊維10Cが塗布されたことで、板状導体エレメントに熱放射面が形成され、ヒューズエレメントで発熱される熱量は熱導伝率の高い金属から熱導伝率の高い放射面に伝わり易くなり、しかも放射面が黒色であるため金属表面の放射率(0.05〜0.3)よりも高く、放射率は1に近い値となる。
例えば、金属表面の放射率が0.3の場合、銅合金の融点である1000℃に達するのに60秒かかったとき、金属表面の放射率が0.9の場合にはヒューズエレメントから熱が放散されるため、同じ条件下で銅合金の融点である1000℃に達するのに78秒もかかり、約20秒程度も遅延することが確認できた。
このように熱溶断部以外の炭素繊維10Cから盛んに熱放射することで、溶断部以外の周囲の温度が大きく下がり、これにより溶断部の温度も下がるので現行よりも低融点金属の拡散を抑え、耐久性を向上させることができ、負荷サイクルに対して溶断しにくくなる。
<Operation of fuse 10>
1 is coated with carbon fiber 10C having a high thermal conductivity, a heat radiation surface is formed on the plate-like conductor element, and the amount of heat generated by the fuse element is equal to the thermal conductivity. It is easy to be transmitted from a high metal to a radiation surface with high thermal conductivity, and since the radiation surface is black, it is higher than the emissivity (0.05 to 0.3) of the metal surface, and the emissivity is close to 1. Become.
For example, when the emissivity of the metal surface is 0.3, it takes 60 seconds to reach the melting point of the copper alloy, which is 1000 ° C. When the emissivity of the metal surface is 0.9, the heat is generated from the fuse element. Since it was diffused, it took 78 seconds to reach 1000 ° C., which is the melting point of the copper alloy under the same conditions, and it was confirmed that there was a delay of about 20 seconds.
In this way, by actively radiating heat from the carbon fiber 10C other than the thermal fusing part, the ambient temperature other than the fusing part is greatly lowered, thereby lowering the temperature of the fusing part, so that the diffusion of the low melting point metal is suppressed compared to the current. Durability can be improved and it becomes difficult to blow out with respect to a duty cycle.

〈ヒューズ10の効果〉
このように実施例1に係るヒューズは熱導伝率の高い炭素繊維が塗布されたことで、現行ヒューズと同じく大電流域、低電流域での溶断特性は損なわず、中電流域での耐久特性を向上する中電流域でのロック電流などの繰り返しの耐久波形に対して現行ヒューズよりも放射熱が向上していることである。このように放射熱を向上させることで、低融点金属の拡散を抑え、耐久性を向上させることができた。
<Effect of fuse 10>
As described above, the fuse according to Example 1 is coated with the carbon fiber having high thermal conductivity, so that the fusing characteristics in the large current region and the low current region are not impaired as in the current fuse, and the durability in the middle current region is maintained. The radiant heat is improved over the current fuse for repeated endurance waveforms such as a lock current in the middle current region that improves the characteristics. By improving the radiant heat in this way, it was possible to suppress the diffusion of the low melting point metal and improve the durability.

〈図2の線図の説明〉
図2は低融点金属を備えた本発明の実施例1に係るヒューズ10(図1)と従来のヒューズ50(図5)のそれぞれの通電値(単位:アンペア)対溶断までの時間(単位:秒)の溶断特性線図である。細線で従来のヒューズ50の溶断特性を、実線で実施例1に係る低融点金属を備えたヒューズ10の溶断特性を、そして点線で電線発煙特性をそれぞれ示してる。「自動車部品−低圧電線における限界過電流容量」についてのJASO(自動車技術者協会規格)D609によれば、「限界電流」とは「外部要因などが原因で、電線に一時的に許容電流を超えて通電があった場合、その通電時間に応じて定まる過電流の限界値」と定義されており、「通電時間」は「絶縁体が発煙する時」とされている。したがって、限界過電流容量と通電時間との特性をグラフ化したものが、発煙特性となる。
図2から判ることは、低融点金属を備えた本発明の実施例1に係るヒューズは現行ヒューズと同じく大電流域、低電流域での溶断特性は損なわず、中電流域での耐久特性を向上する中電流域でのロック電流などの繰り返しの耐久波形に対して現行ヒューズよりも放射熱が向上していることである。このように中電流域でのロック電流などの繰り返しの耐久波形に対して放射熱を向上させることで、低融点金属の拡散をおさえ耐久性を向上させることができる。

According to JASO (Automotive Engineers Association Standard) D609 on “Automotive Parts – Limiting Overcurrent Capacity in Low-Voltage Electric Wires”, “Limiting current” means that “the electric wire temporarily exceeds the allowable current due to external factors. In this case, it is defined as an overcurrent limit value determined according to the energization time. The “energization time” is defined as “when the insulator smokes”. Therefore, a graph of the characteristics of the limit overcurrent capacity and the energization time is the smoke generation characteristic.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, the fuse according to the first embodiment of the present invention having a low melting point metal does not impair the fusing characteristics in the large current region and the low current region as in the current fuse, and has the durability property in the middle current region. The radiant heat is improved over the current fuse for repeated endurance waveforms such as an improved lock current in the middle current region. In this way, by improving the radiant heat against repeated endurance waveforms such as a lock current in the middle current region, the diffusion of the low melting point metal can be suppressed and the endurance can be improved.

〈実施例2が使用する板状導体エレメント〉
図8は実施例2が使用する金属製の板状導体エレメント30’の斜視図で、(a)は表側、(b)は裏側である。
図8において、板状導体エレメント30’は電流の流れ方向に対して直角方向の幅が狭くなっている大中低電流域溶断部30Bとこの大中低電流域溶断部30Bにそれぞれ繋がる幅広の導電部30D(図8(a)で右側の導電部が30DR、左側の導電部が30DL)で構成されている。幅広の導電部30Dから通電される電流に対して大中低電流域溶断部30Bは幅が狭くなっているので発熱量が大きい箇所となっている。なお、図では導電部30DRと導電部30DLは大中低電流域溶断部30Bに対して線対称に形成されているので、表側および裏側共に同じ形状となっている。
<Plate-shaped conductor element used in Example 2>
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a metal plate-like conductor element 30 ′ used in Example 2, where (a) is the front side and (b) is the back side.
In FIG. 8, the plate-like conductor element 30 ′ has a large, medium and low current region fusing portion 30 </ b> B whose width in the direction perpendicular to the current flow direction is narrow, and a wide width connected to the large, middle and low current region fusing portion 30 </ b> B. The conductive portion 30D (in FIG. 8A, the right conductive portion is 30DR and the left conductive portion is 30DL). The large / medium / low current region fusing part 30B is narrow in width with respect to the current supplied from the wide conductive part 30D, so that the amount of heat generation is large. In the figure, the conductive portion 30DR and the conductive portion 30DL are formed symmetrically with respect to the large, medium, and low current region fusing portion 30B, and therefore have the same shape on both the front side and the back side.

〈実施例2に係るヒューズ〉
図3は実施例2に係るヒューズで、(a)は表側、(b)は裏側である。
このヒューズ30は、炭素繊維で構成される黒色塗料30Cを図8の板状導体エレメント30’に塗布して成るものである。黒色塗料30Cは図3のサークル30H、30Hで囲った部分(すなわち、板状導体エレメント30’の中央の大中低電流域溶断部30Bを除く全域)の表側および裏側にそれぞれ塗布されている。塗布の方法はスプレー等の塗布によりエレメント表面に炭素繊維を付着させ、付着させたくない部位には予めマスキングを施しておけばよい。
<Fuse according to Example 2>
FIG. 3 shows a fuse according to the second embodiment, where (a) is the front side and (b) is the back side.
The fuse 30 is formed by applying a black paint 30C made of carbon fiber to the plate-like conductor element 30 ′ shown in FIG. The black paint 30C is applied to the front side and the back side of the portions surrounded by the circles 30H and 30H in FIG. 3 (that is, the entire region excluding the large, middle, and low current region melted portion 30B at the center of the plate-like conductor element 30 ′). As a coating method, carbon fibers are attached to the surface of the element by application such as spraying, and masking may be performed in advance on a portion that is not desired to be attached.

〈ヒューズ30の作用〉
このように図3のヒューズ30は熱導伝率の高い炭素繊維30Cが塗布されたことで、板状導体エレメントに熱放射面が形成され、ヒューズエレメントで発熱される熱量は熱導伝率の高い金属から熱導伝率の高い放射面に伝わり易くなり、しかも放射面が黒色であるため金属表面の放射率(0.05〜0.3)よりも高く、放射率は1に近い値となる。
このように熱溶断部以外から熱放射することで放熱性が良くなり、したがって抵抗値を上げ、中電流域以下で溶断特性を改善し、電線の保護領域を拡大できた。
<Operation of fuse 30>
3 is coated with carbon fiber 30C having a high thermal conductivity, a heat radiation surface is formed on the plate-like conductor element, and the amount of heat generated by the fuse element has a thermal conductivity. It is easy to be transmitted from a high metal to a radiation surface with high thermal conductivity, and since the radiation surface is black, it is higher than the emissivity (0.05 to 0.3) of the metal surface, and the emissivity is close to 1. Become.
Thus, heat radiation was improved by radiating heat from other than the thermal fusing part, and thus the resistance value was increased, the fusing characteristics were improved below the middle current range, and the protection area of the electric wire could be expanded.

〈ヒューズ30の効果〉
このように実施例2に係るヒューズ30は熱導伝率の高い炭素繊維30Cが塗布されたことで、放射により放熱性が良くなり、したがって抵抗値を上げ、中電流域以下で溶断特性を改善し、電線の保護領域を拡大できる。しかも抵抗値のチューニングによって電線発煙特性を超えないようにしているので繰り返し耐久性能は劣化させないようにできた。
<Effect of fuse 30>
As described above, the fuse 30 according to the second embodiment is coated with the carbon fiber 30C having a high thermal conductivity, so that the heat dissipation is improved by radiation, so that the resistance value is increased and the fusing characteristics are improved in the middle current range or lower. Thus, the protection area of the electric wire can be expanded. In addition, the resistance value is tuned so as not to exceed the electric wire smoke generation characteristics, so that the repeated durability performance is not deteriorated.

〈図4の線図の説明〉
図4は低融点金属を備えないタイプの本発明の実施例2に係るヒューズ30(図3)と従来のヒューズ60(図6)のそれぞれの通電値(単位:アンペア)対溶断までの時間(単位:秒)の溶断特性線図である。細線で従来のヒューズ60の溶断特性を、実線で実施例2に係る低融点金属を備えないタイプのヒューズ30の溶断特性を、そして点線で電線発煙特性をそれぞれ示している。
図4から判ることは、低融点金属のないタイプのヒューズは熱導伝率の高い炭素繊維が塗布されたことで放射により放熱性が良くなり、したがって抵抗値を上げ、中電流域以下で溶断特性を改善し、電線の保護領域を拡大していることであり、しかも電線発煙特性を超えないようにしているので繰り返し耐久性能は劣化させない。この場合、放熱面に単に黒色塗料を塗って放熱特性を上げると通電電流が上昇するが、定格値に合わせて抵抗値をチューニングすることによって特性を変えている。
<Explanation of diagram of FIG. 4>
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a time period (unit: ampere) versus fusing of each of the fuse 30 (FIG. 3) and the conventional fuse 60 (FIG. 6) according to the second embodiment of the present invention that does not include a low melting point metal. It is a fusing characteristic diagram of a unit (second). The thin line shows the fusing characteristic of the conventional fuse 60, the solid line shows the fusing characteristic of the fuse 30 of the type not including the low melting point metal, and the dotted line shows the electric wire smoke generation characteristic.
It can be seen from FIG. 4 that the type of fuse having no low melting point metal is coated with carbon fiber having a high thermal conductivity, so that heat dissipation is improved by radiation, so that the resistance value is increased and the fuse is blown below the middle current range. The characteristics are improved, and the protection area of the electric wire is expanded, and the electric wire smoke generation characteristic is not exceeded, so that the repeated durability performance is not deteriorated. In this case, when the heat dissipation characteristics are improved by simply applying black paint on the heat dissipation surface, the energization current increases, but the characteristics are changed by tuning the resistance value according to the rated value.

〈炭素繊維の塗布面〉
以上の実施例1および2では、ヒューズエレメントの表側および裏側にそれぞれ炭素繊維を塗布する例を示したが、本発明はこれに限るものではなく、ヒューズエレメントの表側か又は裏側だけに炭素繊維を厚めに塗布するようにしても同様の効果が得られた。
<Applied surface of carbon fiber>
In Examples 1 and 2 described above, the example in which the carbon fiber is applied to the front side and the back side of the fuse element has been shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the carbon fiber is applied only to the front side or the back side of the fuse element. Even if it was applied thickly, the same effect was obtained.
