Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuse element for a fuse component, which has a fuse wire wound around an electrically insulating core.
  • Fusible links for fuse links with carrier characteristics are currently often designed as winding fuse links.
  • a fuse element for example made of silver or an alloy thereof, is wound on a non-conductive carrier core (e.g. a glass fiber).
  • a non-conductive carrier core e.g. a glass fiber.
  • the wire turns wound in parallel can be displaced on the insulating core, so that the winding density fluctuates locally. This in turn leads to locally different heat loads.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved winding fuse element in which the disadvantages mentioned are avoided.
  • the fuse element according to the invention has a fuse wire wound around an electrically insulating core. Parallel to the fuse wire, at least one electrically insulating fiber is wound on the core in such a way that the fuse wire is fixed in such a way that a short circuit of adjacent turns is prevented. Depending on the type of parallel winding of the fuse wire and the at least one electrically insulating fiber, the fuse wire is more or less prevented from moving in the longitudinal direction of the core. A short circuit of adjacent windings of the fuse wire is prevented by the at least one insulating fiber between them.
  • both the fuse wire and the insulating fiber have an approximately circular cross section and the ratio of the diameter of the fuse wire to that of the insulating fiber is between 1/3 and 3. In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of the diameter of the fuse wire to that the insulating fiber between 1 and 3, ie the diameter of the fuse wire is at least as large as that of the insulating fiber.
  • the insulating fiber (initially circular in cross section) deforms when it is wound onto the core, for example is flattened. Then the fiber is to be selected so that a distance between the fusible wire turns is maintained, which is preferably between 0.2 times to 2 times the diameter of the fusible wire.
  • the core on which the fuse wire and the insulating fiber are wound in parallel has a circular cross-section and the cross-sectional dimensions of the insulating fiber (for example its diameter in the case of a circular cross-section) are smaller than the diameter of the core.
  • the ratio of the diameter of the core to that of the insulating fiber is preferably between 3 and 8, for example 5.
  • the materials for the fuse wire are conventional materials, such as silver, silver-copper alloys, alloys of silver, copper, tin and others Metals. Glass, ceramics and temperature-resistant plastics are conceivable as the material of the insulating fiber. The same materials can be used for the core.
  • the material of the insulating fiber is flexible, that of the core can also be a solid.
  • the insulating fiber consists of one or more parallel glass fibers or one or more ceramic fibers.
  • the core preferably also consists of one or more glass fibers.
  • Advantageous and / or preferred developments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims. The invention is described in more detail below with reference to a preferred exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.
  • the drawings show: FIG. 1: a schematic side view of the fuse element according to the invention; and 2: a schematic representation, which shows a section of two parallel fuse wire windings as a sectional view. 1 schematically shows a fuse element according to the invention, in which both a fuse wire 2 and an insulating fiber 3 are wound in parallel around an electrically insulating core 1.
  • fuse wire 2 and insulating fiber 3 are wound close together.
  • the insulating fiber which previously had a circular cross section, deformed during winding to form a flattened band, the width of which is approximately twice as large as the diameter of the fusible wire 2.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a section of another embodiment of a surface of the insulating core 1 wound with fuse wire and insulating fiber in a sectional view. Two adjacent windings are shown in each case.
  • the fusible wire and the insulating fiber have an approximately circular cross section even after winding, the diameter of the fusible wire being approximately twice that of the insulating fiber. The turns are wound close together.
  • the adjacent windings of the fuse wire are labeled 2A and 2B, and the adjacent turns of the insulating fiber are labeled 3A and 3B.
  • the adjacent windings of the fusible wire In the winding mode shown in FIG. 2, there is arithmetically a distance between the adjacent windings of the fusible wire of approximately 0.4 times the diameter.
  • Such a high winding density cannot be achieved with the conventional method.
  • the diameter of the insulating fiber was 1/3 of the diameter of the fuse wire, there would arithmetically be a distance between the windings of the fuse wire of approximately 0.16 times the diameter of the fuse wire.
  • the fuse element according to the invention facilitates the production of the fuse, since the windings are prevented from moving during further processing.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément fusible pour un composant de coupe-circuit, comprenant un fil fusible (2) qui est enroulé autour d'un noyau électro-isolant (1). Au moins une fibre électro-isolante (3) est enroulée sur le noyau (1), parallèlement au fil fusible (2), de manière que le fil fusible soit fixé de façon à empêcher un court-circuit entre des enroulements adjacents. De préférence, le fil fusible (2) et une fibre isolante (3) sont enroulés de manière à se trouver très proches l'un de l'autre.
