Description

Overvoltage protection device
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of overvoltage protection, in particular to an overvoltage protection device.
Background
Currently, an electric circuit, equipment and a device needing overvoltage protection under alternating current or direct current power supply are usually subjected to overvoltage protection by adopting a clamping voltage limiting type protection device. The clamping voltage limiting type protection device is a resistor device with nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics, and particularly the piezoresistor has excellent nonlinear performance. The clamping voltage limiting type protection device mainly absorbs redundant current to protect sensitive devices through voltage clamping when the circuit bears overvoltage. The resistance of the clamp voltage limiting type protection device is related to the voltage applied to itself. Taking the varistor as an example, the resistance of the varistor decreases as the voltage applied across it increases. When the voltage applied across the varistor is in the normal range (below the threshold voltage), the current through the varistor is very small and the varistor appears as a resistance of the kΩ or mΩ class. When the voltage applied across the varistor exceeds the threshold voltage, the current through the varistor increases and the resistance of the varistor can be reduced to a range of a few ohms.
However, when abnormal overvoltage frequently occurs, the performance degradation of the piezoresistor is accelerated, even the piezoresistor is disabled, so that the leakage current of the piezoresistor is increased, the power consumption is generated when the power supply current flows through the piezoresistor, a large amount of heat is generated, the current concentration effect is induced, and finally, the voltage supply current is developed to a certain weak point and is thermally broken down. Under the combined action of high temperature and voltage during breakdown, the piezoresistor can fire and burn to cause potential safety hazard. In view of the above drawbacks, clamp voltage limiting type protection devices having trip means have also been developed in the prior art to disengage the clamp voltage limiting type protection device from the circuit when the temperature rises. But the existing trip devices have low sensitivity and risk of arc reignition.

It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the utility model described herein may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
The embodiment of the utility model provides an overvoltage protection device, which improves the sensitivity and reliability of the overvoltage protection device by providing a novel tripping technology of a composite structure of a clamping voltage limiting type protection device and a switch type protection device. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of an overvoltage protection device according to an embodiment of the present utility model when the overvoltage protection device is not tripped. Referring to fig. 1, the overvoltage protection device includes: an insulating housing 110, an insulating shutter 111, a clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120, a switch type protection device 130, a temperature sensitive conductive member, an insulating stopper 140, and a preset force mechanism 150.
The insulating barrier 111 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insulating housing 110, and the insulating barrier 111 is provided with an opening 112 (the structure of the insulating barrier 111 can be seen in fig. 2, for example, the opening 112 is provided at the center of the insulating barrier 111). The clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 are arranged on both sides of the insulating barrier 111 within the insulating housing 110, and the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 are connected at the opening 112 by a temperature sensitive type conductive member (not shown in fig. 1) constituting a thermal trip point between the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130. The preset force mechanism 150 and the insulation baffle plate 140 are arranged on the same side of the insulation baffle plate 111, one end of the preset force mechanism 150 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the insulation shell 110 or the insulation baffle plate 111, and the other end of the preset force mechanism 150 is fixedly connected with the insulation baffle plate 140; the insulation block 140 is abutted against the switch type protection device 130 or the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 when the thermal trip point is not tripped, and provides preset force for the preset force mechanism 150, so that the preset force mechanism 150 stores energy; the preset force mechanism 150 is used for releasing energy when the thermal trip point is tripped, driving the insulation block 140 to move, so that the insulation block 140 is inserted between the switch-type protection device 130 and the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120, and the opening 112 is shielded.
Specifically, the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 are electrically connected through a temperature sensitive type conductive member, that is, a current can flow between the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 through the temperature sensitive type conductive member. The temperature sensitive conductive member may be a conductive coating layer disposed between the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switching type protection device 130. It should be noted that, the temperature-sensitive conductive component is sensitive to temperature, when the temperature of the temperature-sensitive conductive component is lower than the tolerance threshold, the thermal trip point is in a stable state, and the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 are tightly connected; when the temperature of the temperature sensitive conductive component exceeds its tolerance threshold, the conductive coating melts to trip the thermal trip point, at which point the connection between the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switching type protection device 130 is broken.
Illustratively, the insulating barrier 111 may be integrally formed with the insulating housing 110. The insulating barrier 111 forms two opposing spaces for separating the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130. The openings 112 of the insulating barrier 111 serve as connection windows for the two protection devices in the two spaces, where the temperature-sensitive conductive members are located. The temperature sensitive conductive component is, for example, low temperature solder.
Illustratively, the preset force mechanism 150 is an elastic component, and when the thermal trip point is not tripped, the elastic component deforms due to the abutment of the insulation stop 140 with one of the protection devices, so as to store elastic potential energy; when the thermal trip point trips, the elastic component releases elastic potential energy to drive the insulation stop block to move.
In fig. 1, an insulation stopper 140 and a preset force mechanism 150 are exemplarily shown to be disposed at the same side of the insulation barrier 111 as the switch-type protection device 130, the insulation stopper 140 is abutted against the switch-type protection device 130 when the thermal trip point is not tripped, and the preset force mechanism 150 is a spring structure. The operation of the overvoltage protection device will be described below by taking the configuration shown in fig. 1 as an example. Both the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switching type protection device 130 generate heat when a current flows, thereby causing the temperature of the temperature sensitive conductive member to rise.
Under normal conditions or when normal overvoltage passes, the temperature provided by the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 is below the tolerance threshold of the temperature sensitive type conductive component, the temperature sensitive type conductive component can withstand the normal working temperature of the overvoltage device, and the thermal trip point is in a stable state. The insulating stopper 140 abuts against the switch-type protection device 130, and applies a preset force to the preset force mechanism 150, for example, stretches the spring to a length exceeding the original length, so that the spring stores elastic potential energy. At this time, the force applied to the insulation stopper 140 by the spring due to the elongation is insufficient to drive the insulation stopper 140 to break the connection between the clamp-voltage-limiting type protection device 120 and the switch-type protection device 130, and at this time the insulation stopper 140 cannot be inserted between the clamp-voltage-limiting type protection device 120 and the switch-type protection device 130. Therefore, a firm and reliable electrical tight connection is formed between the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switching type protection device 130 at this time, and the overvoltage protection device operates normally.
Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of an embodiment of the present utility model after a thermal trip point of an overvoltage protection device is tripped. Referring to fig. 3, in an abnormal situation, such as degradation of the clamp-voltage-limiting type protection device 120, excessive overvoltage (lightning strike or operation overvoltage), or abnormal ac/dc injection, the clamp-voltage-limiting type protection device 120 and the switch-type protection device 130 each generate a large amount of heat, which acts together on the temperature-sensitive conductive member, causing the temperature-sensitive conductive member to melt due to the temperature exceeding its tolerance threshold, and the thermal trip point to trip. In this case, a stable connection structure between the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switching type protection device 130 is broken. When the thermal trip point is in the unstable state, the connection between the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 is loose, the switch type protection device 130 cannot prop against the insulation stop block 140, the spring releases elastic potential energy to generate a long movement trend, so that the insulation stop block 140 is driven to be inserted between the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130, the connection between the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 is broken, the overvoltage protection device is in an open circuit state, and fault current is cut off. And, the insulating dog 140 stops the motion and then completely shields the open hole 112, completely isolates the upper and lower sides of the insulating baffle 111 into two spaces, and because the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 are respectively positioned on two sides of the insulating baffle 111, the open hole 112 is shielded by the insulating dog 140, so that the physical isolation between the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 can be realized, the electrical property and the arc connection between the two devices are completely cut off, thereby avoiding the arc re-burning between the two protection devices and improving the capability of the product to break abnormal current.
In practical application, the protection function of the overvoltage protection device can be realized by using the serial structure of the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130. Specifically, since the temperature-sensitive conductive component is disposed between the clamping voltage limiting protection device 120 and the switching protection device 130, in an abnormal situation, both protection devices generate heat, and dual full actions on the temperature-sensitive conductive component are generated, so that the state change of the temperature-sensitive conductive component in the abnormal situation is quicker, the reaction speed of thermal tripping is improved, and the disconnection is more sensitive. And, when an overvoltage occurs, since the impedance of the switching type protection device 130 is large, the switching type protection device 130 is turned on to absorb energy of an overvoltage tip, and then the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 is turned on to disperse energy generated by the overvoltage. In this way, the temperature rise generated on the clamping and voltage limiting type protection device 120 can be slowed down, so that the service life of the clamping and voltage limiting type protection device 120 is prolonged. When current flows in under abnormal conditions, as the temperature rise of the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 is delayed and the current tolerance time is prolonged, enough reaction time can be reserved for the temperature sensitive type conductive component, so that the temperature sensitive type conductive component is ensured to be melted before the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 fires and burns, and the arc is extinguished under the action of the insulating stop block 140 and the preset force mechanism 150, the current is cut off, and the safety tripping is realized.
Compared with the existing pure piezoresistor scheme, under the same overvoltage level, for the series structure in the embodiment, as the two protection devices bear only partial overvoltage, the voltage selection range of the two devices can be effectively enlarged, particularly, the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 can select the model with lower voltage bearing capacity, the protection cost is effectively reduced, the high residual voltage caused by the piezoresistor with higher voltage-sensitive voltage is avoided for obtaining larger safety margin, and the risk of damaging the subsequent equipment due to the residual voltage is reduced. In other words, if the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 of the same class as the piezoresistor in the prior art is selected, the two protection devices are connected in series to increase the class of the working voltage protection of the overvoltage protection device, so that the overvoltage (lightning stroke) protection is more reliable.
According to the embodiment of the utility model, the switch type protection device 130 connected with the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 is arranged to form an overvoltage protection device, and based on superposition of heat generated by the two protection devices under abnormal conditions, melting of the temperature sensitive type conductive component can be accelerated, and the thermal tripping sensitivity is improved. And, through setting the thermal trip point between two protection devices at the opening 112 of the insulating barrier 111, and set up the insulating barrier 140 that is in abutment with any protection device and the preset force mechanism 150 that is connected with insulating barrier 140 outside the thermal trip point, when the connection between two protection devices is no longer inseparable at the thermal trip point, the thermal trip point can't resist the effort that preset force mechanism 150 provided to insulating barrier 140 any longer, preset force mechanism 150 drives insulating barrier 140 to invade between clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and switch type protection device 130, and cover opening 112, form the space isolation between clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and switch type protection device 130, avoid electric arc reburning between two protection devices, thoroughly cut off the fault current. Compared with the prior art, the overvoltage protection device has high tripping sensitivity, and can reduce the risk of arc reignition during tripping, thereby improving the tripping success rate and the reliability of the overvoltage protection device.
Optionally, based on the above embodiments, the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 includes, but is not limited to, a combination of one or more of a varistor (Metal Oxide Varistors, MOV) and a transient suppression diode (Transient Voltage Suppressor, TVS). The switching protection device 130 includes, but is not limited to, a combination of one or more of a gas discharge tube (Gas Discharge Tube, GDT) and a surge suppressing thyristor (Thyristor Surge Suppressors, TSS). The pre-force mechanism 150 includes, but is not limited to, one of a pneumatic element, a spring, a torque structure, an elastic metal element, a shape memory alloy element, an elastic polymer element, and a rubber element.
Fig. 4 is a top view of an embodiment of the present utility model when an overvoltage protection device is not tripped; fig. 5 is a top view of an embodiment of the present utility model after a thermal trip point of an overvoltage protection device is tripped. The structures that the overvoltage protection device may have are specifically described below in connection with fig. 1-5.
For convenience of description of the structure of the overvoltage protection device, a three-dimensional coordinate system in which the overvoltage protection device is located is defined herein: the bottom surface of the overvoltage protection device is taken as a horizontal plane (namely an XOY plane), and the three-dimensional coordinate system comprises a direction X, a direction Y and a direction Z which are perpendicular to each other. Illustratively, the insulating barrier 111 is disposed parallel to a horizontal plane, and the direction Z is a thickness direction of the overvoltage protection device.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, illustratively, the switching type protection device 130 is disposed on the upper surface of the insulating barrier 111, and the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 is disposed on the lower surface of the insulating barrier 111. And the insulation stopper 140 and the preset force mechanism 150 are both provided on the upper surface of the insulation barrier 111.
On the basis of the above-described embodiment, optionally, the side of the insulating barrier 111 where the insulating stopper 140 is provided (the upper surface side in this embodiment) includes the guide posts 180 extending in the first direction. The insulating barrier 140 is provided with a sliding groove on a side (i.e., a bottom surface of the insulating barrier 140) close to the insulating barrier 111, and the sliding groove is matched with the guide post 180, so that the preset force mechanism 150 drives the insulating barrier 140 to move along the guide post 180 when energy is released. Optionally, the pre-force mechanism 150 itself controls the distance of movement of the insulation block 140, for example, by providing that the insulation block 140 stops at the original length of the spring, when the insulation block 140 just blocks the opening 112.
Further, the side of the insulating barrier 111 where the insulating stopper 140 is disposed may further include a limit post 160 to limit the moving distance of the insulating stopper 140, for example, the insulating stopper 140 is set to stop moving when the preset force mechanism 150 does not release the elastic potential energy completely under the limit of the limit post 160, so as to avoid the insulating stopper 140 vibrating back and forth under the driving of the preset force mechanism 150 as much as possible.
Illustratively, the guide posts 180 extend in a first direction and the limit posts 160 extend in a second direction. When the thermal trip point is not tripped, the insulation stopper 140 and the limit post 160 are spaced at both sides of the switching type protection device 130 in the first direction. The first direction and the second direction are parallel to the upper surface of the insulating barrier 111, and the first direction and the second direction intersect. Illustratively, the first direction is the direction X and the second direction is the direction Y, both of which are located in a horizontal plane, and both directions are perpendicular.
Specifically, the guide posts 180 are used to define the direction of movement of the insulation block 140, i.e., to move the insulation block 140 in a first direction. The limit posts 160 serve to limit the distance that the insulation block 140 moves in the direction in which the guide posts 180 extend. The sliding groove of the insulation block 140 is matched with the guide post 180 of the insulation baffle 111, when the thermal trip point trips, the resistance of the thermal trip point to the preset force disappears, the insulation block 140 moves along the extending direction of the guide post 180 under the drive of the preset force mechanism 150, and under the limit of the limit post 160, the insulation block 140 stops moving when completely shielding the open hole 112, so that the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130 are physically isolated, fault current is cut off, and the condition of arc re-burning is avoided. Illustratively, the insulating stop 140 is sized to: after the insulation block 140 contacts the limit posts 160, the opening 112 may be completely blocked. Further, two guide posts 180 may be provided on the upper surface of the insulating barrier 111 corresponding to both sides of the limit post 160 to make the insulating stopper move smoothly.
Alternatively, the number of the preset force mechanisms 150 is at least one, and the specific number may be set according to actual requirements. For example, two preset force mechanisms 150 are provided, which are arranged on both sides of the protection device in the second direction. In this way, a smooth pulling force can be provided to the insulation block 140, reducing the risk of the insulation block 140 tilting and shaking during movement. Illustratively, a securing post may be provided on each of the insulating barrier 111 and the insulating stopper 140 to secure the preset force mechanism 150.
The above embodiments exemplarily show that the pre-stressing mechanism 150 is fixed to the insulating housing (or the insulating barrier 111) on the side of the protection device away from the insulating stopper 140 (right side in fig. 4), and the pre-stressing mechanism 150 provides a rightward pulling force to the insulating stopper 140 when the thermal trip point is tripped, but this is not a limitation of the present utility model. In other embodiments, alternatively, the preset force mechanism 150 may be further fixed to the insulating housing 110 (or the insulating shutter 111) on the side of the insulating stopper 140 away from the protection device (left side in fig. 4), so that when the thermal trip point is not tripped and the insulating stopper 140 abuts against the protection device, the preset force provided by the insulating stopper 140 to the preset force mechanism 150 may compress the preset force mechanism 150; and, upon trip of the thermal trip point, the pre-force mechanism 150 may provide a pushing force to the right to the insulation block 140.
The above embodiments exemplarily illustrate the insulation stopper 140 moving in a straight line under the driving of the preset force mechanism 150, but do not limit the present utility model. In other embodiments, alternatively, the connection end of the insulation block 140 may be rotatably movably connected to the insulation barrier 111, and the movement end is fixedly connected to the preset force mechanism 150. When the thermal trip point trips, the preset force mechanism 150 can drive the insulation block 140 to rotate on the horizontal plane with the connecting end as the shaft until the opening 112 is shielded. The specific shape and size of the insulation block 140 and the moving mode can be set according to actual requirements, and are not limited herein, as long as the insulation block 140 does not shield the opening 112 before the thermal trip point trips, and can completely shield the opening 112 after the trip.
With continued reference to fig. 1, on the basis of the above embodiment, optionally, the overvoltage protection device further includes: a spring plate 170; one end of the elastic sheet 170 is fixedly connected with the insulating housing 110, and the other end of the elastic sheet 170 is fixedly connected with the switch-type protection device 130 or the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 (here, connected with the switch-type protection device 130). When the thermal trip point is not tripped, the elastic sheet 170 is in a compressed state; the elastic sheet 170 is used for driving the switch-type protection device 130 to spring open along the third direction when the thermal trip point trips; wherein the third direction intersects the first direction. Thus, the insulation block 140 can be inserted between two devices more reliably and more rapidly to extinguish arc and cut off current, and the purpose of safety tripping is achieved.
Illustratively, the third direction may be a direction Z perpendicular to the upper surface of the insulating barrier 111 to be upward a positive direction of the third direction. Then, when the thermal trip point is not tripped, the elastic sheet 170 is in a downward pressing state, and elastic potential energy is stored; when the thermal trip point trips, as shown in fig. 3, the elastic potential energy is released by the elastic sheet 170, and the applied elastic force of the elastic sheet 170 provides an upward force for the switch-type protection device 130, so as to drive the switch-type protection device 130 to spring open along the positive direction of the third direction, and assist the insulation stop block 140 to be inserted between the switch-type protection device 130 and the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 more reliably and rapidly. Alternatively, the third direction may be the same as the second direction (for example, direction Y), or may be another direction different from the first direction, which may be specifically set according to actual needs and implementation convenience.
Further, the spring plate 170 may include a connection portion 172 and a force storage portion 171; the insulating housing 110 may include a clamping groove for securing the connection portion 172. Specifically, one end of the power storage portion 171 is fixedly connected to the connection portion 172, and the other end of the power storage portion 171 is fixedly connected to the switch-type protection device 130; the connection portion 172 is fixed in the card slot. Illustratively, the clamping groove is disposed at the edge of the insulating housing 110, and the opening position of the clamping groove is higher than the top end of the switch-type protector 130, so that the power storage portion 171 is in a downward pressing state when the thermal trip point is not tripped.
In one possible embodiment, the insulating housing 110 of the overvoltage protection device includes an insulating inner housing and an insulating outer housing, and the insulating barrier 111 is fixedly connected to an inner wall of the insulating inner housing, and a gap between the insulating inner housing and the insulating outer housing forms a clamping groove. The upper edge of the insulating inner case is higher than the top end of the switching protection device 130 and lower than the edge of the insulating outer case.
The structure of the two protection devices will be described in detail.
On the basis of the embodiment, the two protection devices are optionally vertically arranged in an upper and lower laminated structure so as to be separated when in thermal tripping. Specifically, referring to fig. 1, the switching protection device 130 includes a first electrode 131 and a second electrode 132. The first electrode 131 is concave, and the bottom surface of the groove of the first electrode 131 is parallel to the upper surface of the insulating baffle 111; the second electrode 132 is convex, and the second electrode 132 is disposed in the groove of the first electrode 131. The first electrode 131 and the second electrode 132 may be connected by an insulating structure without electrical contact therebetween. The clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 includes a third electrode 121 and a fourth electrode 122; the third electrode 121 and the fourth electrode 122 are arranged in a fourth direction (i.e., direction Z) perpendicular to the upper surface of the insulating barrier 111. The fourth electrode 122 may be a convex electrode of a varistor, and extends into the opening 112 to connect with the first electrode 131 via a temperature-sensitive conductive member. Alternatively, the lower surface of the first electrode 131 and the upper surface of the fourth electrode 122 are soldered at the opening 112 by low temperature solder; the force storage portion 171 is fixedly connected to the second electrode 132, for example, an end portion of the force storage portion 171 is annular and is sleeved at a protrusion of the second electrode 132.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the overvoltage protection device may further include an external pin 190, where one end of the external pin 190 is connected to an electrode of any protection device, and the other end extends to the outside of the insulating housing 110 to be connected to an operating voltage power supply, or to an external circuit or apparatus to be protected, according to the above embodiments. Illustratively, the external pin 190 includes: a first pin 191 electrically connected to the second electrode 132; and a second lead 192 electrically connected to the third electrode 121. Illustratively, the spring 170 is made of a conductive material and is electrically connected to the second electrode 132, and then the first pin 191 may be indirectly electrically connected to the second electrode 132 through the electrical connection with the connection portion 172.
With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, on the basis of the above embodiment, optionally, the overvoltage protection device further includes: a voltage grading module 200 and two leads 210. Illustratively, the voltage grading module 200 may be electrically connected to the switching protection device 130 via two leads 210. Specifically, both ends of the voltage equalizing module 200 may be connected to both electrodes (i.e., the first electrode 131 and the second electrode 132 described above) of the switching type protection device 130 through two leads 210, respectively, to form a parallel connection with the switching type protection device 130.
The voltage equalizing module 200 can reduce residual voltage caused by the device action when the overvoltage protection device is subjected to overvoltage, so as to avoid damaging a subsequent circuit. The residual voltage means a peak voltage at a specified end of the protector when a discharge current flows.
The above embodiment exemplifies that the voltage equalizing module 200 is connected in parallel with the switching protection device 130, but is not a limitation of the present utility model. In other embodiments, optionally, the voltage equalizing module 200 may be directly connected in parallel to two ends of the integral structure formed by connecting the switch-type protection device 130 and the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120, where the voltage equalizing module 200 still can function to reduce residual voltage caused by the device action when the overvoltage protection device is subjected to overvoltage. Specifically, both ends of the voltage equalizing module 200 may be connected to the second electrode 132 of the switching type protection device 130 and the third electrode 121 of the clamping type protection device 120 through two leads 210, respectively.
Optionally, based on the above embodiment, the voltage equalizing module 200 has a structure with a certain impedance value, and may include at least one capacitor and/or at least one resistor disposed between two ends of the voltage equalizing module 200. For example, the voltage equalizing module 200 may employ a resistor, a capacitor, or any one or more of the above series-parallel combinations, specifically, a capacitor, a resistor, a plurality of resistors connected in series, or a resistor connected in series with a capacitor may be disposed between two ends of the voltage equalizing module 200. The voltage equalizing module 200 divides the amplitude of the temporary overvoltage so that the voltage born by the two ends of the piezoresistor in real time is lower than the maximum voltage (namely the nominal voltage-sensitive voltage) born by the piezoresistor, thereby ensuring that the current density of the unit area of the piezoresistor does not exceed the bearing capacity of the piezoresistor as much as possible, and avoiding the ignition.
With continued reference to fig. 4 and 5, the overvoltage protection device, on the basis of the above embodiment, optionally further includes: a remote signaling alarm module; the fixed electrode 222 and the mobile electrode 221 of the remote signaling alarm module are exemplarily shown to explain the generation manner of the alarm signal, and external lines (e.g., alarm signal processing part) connected to the two electrodes are not shown. Wherein, the fixed electrode 222 and the moving electrode 221 are extended to the outside of the insulating housing 110 to be connected with external lines. The fixed electrode 222 is fixedly connected to the insulating housing 110, one end of the movable electrode 221 is fixedly connected to the insulating housing 110, and the other end is connected to the insulating stopper 140. When the thermal trip point is not tripped, the movable electrode 221 contacts with the fixed electrode 222, so that the remote signaling alarm system is in a normally closed state in a normal state. When the thermal trip point trips, the movable electrode 221 moves along with the insulation stopper 140 to be separated from the fixed electrode 222. Therefore, in practical application, the external circuit can judge whether the working condition of the overvoltage protection device is normal or not through the conducting state of the pins. Illustratively, the movable end of the movable electrode 221 abuts the insulating stopper 140, and the movable end of the movable electrode 221 is slidable along the side of the insulating stopper 140 when the insulating stopper 140 moves.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 3, the end of the insulation block 140 facing the temperature sensitive conductive member may be optionally in a wedge-shaped structure, and the wedge-shaped tip may facilitate the insulation block 140 to be more reliably inserted between the two devices in the event of an abnormality, thereby achieving a safety trip.
The above embodiments exemplarily show that the insulation stopper 140 and the preset force mechanism 150 are disposed at the same side of the insulation barrier 111 as the switch-type protection device 130, and the insulation stopper 140 abuts against the switch-type protection device 130 when the thermal trip point is not tripped, but are not limiting the present utility model. In other embodiments, the insulation stopper 140 and the preset force mechanism 150 may be disposed on the same side of the insulation barrier 111 as the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120, so that the insulation stopper 140 abuts against the clamp voltage limiting type protection device 120 when the thermal trip point is not tripped. And, the elastic sheet 170 may be connected to the lower electrode of the clamping voltage limiting protection device 120, and drives the clamping voltage limiting protection device 120 to spring downward when the thermal trip occurs.
In summary, in the overvoltage protection device provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the temperature-sensitive conductive component is arranged between the clamping voltage limiting type protection device 120 and the switch type protection device 130, and by providing the moving component with one or more moving directions, the switch type protection device 130 is sprung and is rapidly inserted into the insulation stop block 140, and the connecting window between the two protection devices is closed, so that arc extinction and current interruption are realized, and the safety tripping of higher working voltage is realized, thereby effectively solving a series of problems of low working voltage, low breaking current, low tripping sensitivity, arc reburning, lightning stroke misoperation protection circuit residual voltage, residual voltage height and the like in the existing voltage-sensitive tripping device or module.

For example, the steps described in the present utility model may be performed in parallel, sequentially, or in a different order, so long as the desired results of the technical solution of the present utility model are achieved, and the present utility model is not limited herein.
The above embodiments do not limit the scope of the present utility model.
