Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は過電流が流れて発熱したとき、または外部加熱
されたとき回路遮断する熱応答スイッチに関する。
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a thermally responsive switch that interrupts a circuit when an overcurrent flows and generates heat or when external heating occurs.

従来、低融点金属材料或いは非低融点金属材料を使用し
たヒユーズ、加熱防止用の温度ヒユーズ等が回路遮断用
として知られている。しかしながらこの従来のヒユーズ
では溶断すれば再度使用することができない。
Conventionally, fuses made of low-melting point metal materials or non-low-melting point metal materials, temperature fuses for preventing heating, and the like are known for circuit-breaking purposes. However, once this conventional fuse is blown, it cannot be used again.

本発明はこれを形状記憶合金を用いて再使用できるよう
に構成したものである。
The present invention uses a shape memory alloy to configure this so that it can be reused.

In the figure, 1 and 2 are conductors made of shape memory alloy.
Both are fixed to the tips of the support parts 3 and 4, and the tips 1a and 2a
The parts are molded so that they meet and come into contact with each other in normal conditions, and the contact parts are bonded with a low melting point alloy solder material, wood metal, resin, etc., or connected with a resin string.

As is conventionally known, the shape memory alloy constituting the conductors 1 and 2 is an alloy such as nickel-titanium, nickel-aluminum, copper-zinc, copper-zinc-aluminum, copper-tin 1, etc. 500~100 after processing into shape
It is shaped by being heat-treated at a high temperature of about 0°C, and has the property of returning to its original shape when heated.

Therefore, under normal conditions, the conductor 1.2 is easily energized, but when the operating temperature reaches the change point of the shape memory alloy, the conductor 1.2 returns to its original memorized shape. By bending this memorized shape in such a way that the contact portions of both conductors 1 and 2 repel each other, the conductors 1 and 2 repel each other at a predetermined temperature by deforming and bringing their tips into contact. to release contact.

The low melting point alloy or resin used as the contact reinforcement may melt or soften at the predetermined temperature to prevent separation of the conductor 1.2, or the response may be ensured by selecting the temperature and material type. The change point of the shape memory alloy is known to be approximately 0°C to 110°C depending on the material, and can be arbitrarily selected depending on the purpose.

そして形状記憶合金でできた導体1,2は元の形状に戻
っても、再び形成させて先端を接触させれば同様に通電

用することができる。
Even if the conductors 1 and 2 made of shape memory alloy return to their original shapes, they can be re-formed and their tips can be brought into contact to conduct electricity in the same way, and if the temperature rises during the current flow, they will release the contact again and cut off the current flow. It can be used as a thermally responsive switch any number of times.

したがって従来のヒユーズのように1回限りでなく何回
も繰返して使用することができる効果がある。
Therefore, it has the advantage of being able to be used many times, instead of just once like conventional fuses.

Note that a portion of the conductors 1 and 2 may be made of a shape memory alloy, or one of the conductors may be fixed and the side portion may be made of a shape memory alloy. Further, the contact portion at the tip of each conductor can be attached or coated with a highly conductive contact alloy.
