TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a fuse device. The present application can be
not exclusively applied to a fuse unit of an inflatable ring network cabinet and a
fuse unit of an environment-friendly switch cabinet. Therefore, the present application
also relates to an inflatable ring network cabinet including the fuse device and an
environment-friendly switch cabinet including the fuse device.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In a fully insulated fuse tube cabin, in order to facilitate mounting a fuse, a fuse
guiding element should be added, which helps to avoid damaging a plum blossom finger
during the mounting process of the fuse, and the plum blossom finger is used to ensure
a good electrical connection of the fuse. Most of the existing schemes fixedly mount
the plum-blossom contact finger in a bottom electrode of the fuse tube cabin, and
the guiding element is cast in the fuse tube cabin, which is very inconvenient when
replacing these two components, so that the fuse tube cabin can only be applied to
a fixed fuse, which limits the adaptability of the fuse tube cabin to different fuses,
and lacks flexible measures for using fuses with different plug-in sizes.
SUMMARY
[0003] Therefore, the present application relates to a fuse device, which can solve the
problem that the guiding element and the plum-blossom contact finger in the fuse tube
cabin are not easy to maintain and replace, and can make the fuse tube cabin suitable
for more fuses with different plug-in size requirements.
[0004] The present application provides a fuse device, which includes a fuse; a fuse tube
cabin for accommodating the fuse; a guiding element, removably mounted to an electrode
in the fuse tube cabin, for guiding the fuse upon the fuse being inserted into the
fuse tube cabin.
[0005] Advantageously, the fuse device further includes a plurality of contact fingers which
are removably mounted to the guiding element and extend axially towards the electrode.
[0006] Advantageously, the guiding element is removably mounted to the electrode by a first
fastener.
[0007] Advantageously, the guiding element includes a first threaded hole, the electrode
includes a corresponding threaded hole, and the first fastener is a screw which is
screwed into the first threaded hole and the corresponding threaded hole to removably
mount the guiding element to the electrode.
[0008] Advantageously, the plurality of contact fingers are removably mounted to the guiding
element by a second fastener.
[0009] Advantageously, each of the plurality of contact fingers includes a second threaded
hole, the guiding element includes a corresponding threaded hole, and the second fastener
is a screw screwed into the second threaded hole and the corresponding threaded hole
to removably mount the plurality of contact fingers to the guiding element.
[0010] Advantageously, the guiding element is a metal guiding element or a semiconductor
guiding element.
[0011] The present application also provides an inflatable ring net cabinet, which includes
the above-mentioned fuse device.
[0012] The present application also provides an environment-friendly switch cabinet, which
includes the above-mentioned fuse device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] Various embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail
with reference to the drawings. Herein, it should be noted that, in the drawings,
the same reference numerals are given to components that basically have the same or
similar structures and functions, and repeated descriptions about them will be omitted.
The term "including A, B, C, etc. in turn" only indicates the arrangement order of
included components A, B, C, etc., and does not exclude the possibility of including
other components between A and B and/or between B and C.
[0015] The drawings in this specification are schematic diagrams, which assist in explaining
the conception of the present application and schematically show the shapes of various
parts and their relationships.
[0016] Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present application are described in
detail with reference to Figs. 1 to 4.
[0017] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the fuse device 1 according to the present application
includes a fuse, a fuse tube cabin 11 for accommodating the fuse, and a guiding element
12. The guiding element is made of a metal material or a semiconductor material, and
the electrode 13 is arranged at the bottom of the fuse tube cabin 11. The structure
of the fuse is not important to the present application, so it is not described in
the specification and drawings, and those skilled in the art will understand the structure
of the fuse.
[0018] The guiding element 12 is mounted in the fuse tube cabin 11 and is used to guide
the fuse upon the fuse being inserted into the fuse tube cabin 11, so as to facilitate
mounting the fuse and prevent the contact fingers 14 of the fuse device 1 from being
damaged during the mounting process.
[0019] The guiding element 12 is removably mounted to the electrode 13, for example, by
a first fastener 15. For example, the first fastener 15 may be a screw. In this case,
the guiding element 12 includes a first threaded hole 121 (as shown in FIG. 3), and
the electrode 13 includes a corresponding threaded hole. The screw is screwed into
the first threaded hole and the corresponding threaded hole to removably mount the
guiding element 12 to the electrode 13.
[0020] A plurality of contact fingers 14 are removably mounted to the guiding element 12,
and extend in the axial direction X (as shown in FIG. 2) toward the electrode 13.
For example, the plurality of contact fingers can be removably mounted to a bottom
surface 122 (the surface facing the electrode 13) of the guiding element by a second
fastener 16 (such as a screw), as shown in FIG. 4. In this case, although not explicitly
shown in the drawings, each of the plurality of contact fingers includes a second
threaded hole, the guiding element includes a corresponding threaded hole, and screws
are screwed into the second threaded holes and the corresponding threaded holes to
removably mount the plurality of contact fingers to the guiding element.
[0021] The above screw is used as an example to describe the removable mounting of the guiding
element to the electrode and the removable mounting of the plurality of contact fingers
to the guiding element, but those skilled in the art should understand that such removable
mounting can be realized by any other means.
[0022] By removably mounting the guiding element to the electrode and the plurality of contact
fingers to the guiding element, the guiding element, the plurality of contact fingers
and the fuse have good continuity of energization during the operation of the fuse
device, and at the same time, when the electrical connection needs to be disassembled,
only the guiding element is detached, and the guiding element and the contact fingers
can be easily replaced and maintained, so that the same fuse tube cabin can adapt
to more fuses with different sizes.
[0023] In addition, the present application is not exclusively used in inflatable ring network
cabinets and environment-friendly switch cabinets.
[0024] The above description is only an explanation of the present application, so that
ordinary skilled in the art can implement the scheme completely, but it is not a limitation
to the present application. The above disclosed technical features are not limited
to the disclosed combination with other features, and the ordinary skilled in the
art can also make other combinations among the technical features according to the
