Abstract

An overheating destructive disconnecting method for switch, whereby an operating member applies a first elastic force under normal conditions to enable the movable conductive member contacts a first conductive member and a second conductive member to form a conductive circuit; and a second elastic force to enable the movable conductive member to separate from the first conductive member or the second conductive member. The installation position of the overheating destructive member is used to receive heat energy instead of allowing current to flow thereto. When the overheating destructive member is destructed or deformed under a fail temperature condition, lessening or loss of the force applied by the first elastic force towards the movable conductive member causes the movable conductive member to no longer allow electrical conduction to the first conductive member and the second conductive member, thereby breaking the current-carrying circuit.

Abstract

An assembly of plural conductive slots sharing an overheating destructive fixing element is disclosed, including a first conductive element, a second conductive element and an overheating destructive fixing element. The first conductive element includes a front end, a rear end, plural conductive slots and a contact portion. The conductive slots include a front end conductive slot and a rear end conductive slot, between which a control section is defined. The contact portion is disposed on the control section, and the second conductive element contacts the contact portion by the overheating destructive fixing element, allowing the plural conductive slots to share the overheating destructive fixing element. Furthermore, when any one conductive slot reaches each own limiting working temperature respectively, the overheating destructive fixing element is destructed by reaching a pre-determined temperature.

Abstract

An overheating destructive conductive plate safety clip as well as a plug and a socket using that conductive plate safety clip are disclosed. The overheating destructive conductive plate safety clip limits two conductive plates from contacting with each other to form a closed path, and is destructed when overheating, opening the two conductive plates by an elastic force to form an open circuit. The overheating destructive conductive plate safety clip includes a first limiting element, a second limiting element and a connecting element. At least one of the first limiting element, the second limiting element and the connecting element is made of plastic, at least one of the first limiting element and the second limiting element is made of metal, and a destruction part is formed at a place where the plastic material is connected with the metallic material.

Abstract

An insulative fixing plate damaged when overheating limits two conductive elements from contacting with each other, forming a closed path, when overheating, opening two conductive elements by an elastic force to form an open circuit. Each conductive element has a groove concaved in from an edge, and the groove has a groove width. The insulative fixing plate includes a connecting element and two limiting elements combined at two ends of the connecting element. Each limiting element has a working width larger than the groove width, and a holding space between the two limiting elements contains the two conductive elements, thereby abutting the two limiting elements at an external side of the conductive element respectively and limiting the two conductive elements from contacting with each other. The connecting element is damaged when overheating. The insulative fixing plate is used in overheat protection for a plug or a socket.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a conductive terminal including two conductive members or further comprising a hot melt fixing member. Each conductive member is provided with a groove which is concaved in from an edge of the host conductive member. The grooves on the two conductive members are opposite to each other and a gap is maintained between the two conductive members by an elastic force between the conductive members. The hot melt fixing member is put into the grooves of the two conductive members and is combined on the conductive members to overcome the elastic force, enabling the two conductive member to form contact limit, the hot melt fixing member to be damaged when overheat, and the two conductive members to be opened by the elastic force to form open circuit. The conductive member can be applied to overheat protection of a plug and a socket.
