- the area at the tip of the protrusion 42 is set so as to cover approximately 80% of the area of the rectangular heating element 14 facing the protrusion 42.
- a void ( Bubbles) 44 may be generated. If the void 44 remains in the projecting portion 42, the flux 17 is unevenly distributed in the projecting portion 42, and the uniformity of the flux 17 on the soluble conductor 13 is impaired. As a result, the heat generation distribution of the soluble conductor 13 by the heating element 14 becomes non-uniform, which causes variations in the fusing characteristics of the soluble conductor 13.

- the void 4 becomes difficult to be discharged because the step is a barrier to the void 4 that has been removed. Further, for example, when the thickness of the portion of the inner surface 1a of the cover member 1 corresponding to the bottom surface in the cylindrical projecting portion 46 is set so as to gradually increase from the communication hole 3 with an inclination, the generated voids are formed in the communication hole. It becomes guided toward 3 and becomes easy to discharge

Alternatively, four openings may be opened. Since the void in the flux 17 in the protrusion 46 moves on the inner surface 46a side of the protrusion 46 by buoyancy, the void in the protrusion 46 is increased by increasing the number of locations where the communication holes 47 are opened. It becomes possible to discharge efficiently.
- the cover member 1 has a cylindrical projecting portion 2 that is open at both ends and has an inner surface 2a, and a surface of the projecting portion 2 on the inner surface 1a side of the cover member 1.

Description
本出願は、日本国において2012年3月26日に出願された日本特許出願番号特願2012-069658を基礎として優先権を主張するものであり、この出願は参照されることにより、本出願に援用される。
ができる。ボイドが排出されることによって、可溶導体上に塗布されたフラックスが均一になって、可溶導体の発熱分布が均一になり、溶断特性のばらつきが低減する。
図1A、図1B、図2A及び図2Bに示すように、カバー部材1は、カバー部材1の内面1aに、発熱体14の位置に対向する位置にその先端が配置された突状部2を有する。突状部2は、カバー部材1の内面1aを底面とし、先端が開口した円筒形状を呈する。円筒状の突状部2は、カバー部材1を保護素子10の本体に被せて取り付けたときに、可溶導体13を介して方形状の発熱体14に対向する位置に配置される。円筒状の突状部2の先端は、可溶導体13の表面に塗布されたフラックス17の表面に接する位置となるように、円筒状の突状部2の高さが決定される。円筒状の突状部2の内面2aは、先端に接したフラックス17の表面張力によって、フラックス17が引き寄せられてフラックス17で満たされるような空間となっている。内面2aの壁面は、滑らかであってもよく、梨地状でざらざらしていてもよい。突状部2の壁面には、突状部2の内面2aとカバー部材1の内面1a側とを連通する連通孔3が開口されている。カバー部材1は、保護素子10の内部の保護用に用いられ、絶縁性の材料により形成される。たとえば、ガラスエポキシ、セラミックス等、所定の耐熱性を有する絶縁材料を用いることができる。カバー部材1は、射出成型技術を用いて、突状部2を含めて一体成型により形成するのが一般的だが、突状部2を別の構成部品として、カバー部材1の内面1aに適切な位置に接着あるいははめ込む等によって構成してもよい。
図3に示すように、上述した保護素子10は、リチウムイオン2次電池のバッテリパック内の回路に用いられる。
以下、本発明に係る保護素子10に用いるカバー部材1の機能について説明するに当たり、従来の保護素子のカバー部材の機能について説明する。
突状部46の壁面に開口される連通孔47は、1個に限られず、複数個あってもよく、図8A及び図8Bに示すように、突状部46の円周上に均等な距離だけ離間させて、4個開口してもよい。突状部46内のフラックス17中のボイドは、浮力によって突状部46の内面46a側を移動するので、連通孔47が開口される箇所を多くすることによって、突状部46内のボイドを効率よく排出することができるようになる。
連通孔の開口した面積を増やすことによって、突状部内のフラックス17中のボイドを、より効率的に排出することができる。図9A及び図9Bに示すように、カバー部材1は、端部がいずれも開口され、内面2aを有する円筒状の突状部2と、突状部2のカバー部材1の内面1a側の面2cの一部に一端が接続された柱状支持部48とを有している。そして、カバー部材1は、柱状支持部48の他端がカバー部材1の内面1aに接続されている。この変形例におけるカバー部材1では、突状部2を柱状支持部48によって支持して、突状部2のフラックス17に接しない側の面2cとカバー部材1の内面1aとの間に連通孔3がスリット状に形成される。突状部2をこのように構成することによって、突状部2の内面2a側に発生したフラックス17のボイド4は、ほぼすべての方向に対して、カバー部材1の内面1aの側へ排出されることができる。
