    DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

    [0019] An example of a contact material 10 for a thermal fuse according to the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 1. The contact material 10 for a thermal fuse includes a conductive base material 11 and a conductive member 12 provided in a necessary areas of the conductive base material 11. The conductive member 12 is provided only to desired portions of a thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse, including contact portions with a fixed contact and a cylindrical case, and is made of a material having a Young’s modulus and a rigidity different from those of the conductive base material. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a portion of the contact material prior to punching the movable contacts, with a star-shaped portion 13 in FIG. 1 indicating a punching location of a movable contact. The contact material 10 for a thermal fuse is processed into a predetermined shape, and can be applied to a movable contact 47 of a thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse 40 illustrated in FIG. 4. For example, the contact material 10 for a thermal fuse according to the present invention is processed into the movable contact 20 or 30 such as illustrated in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 by press-punching and used. The contact material 10 for a thermal fuse includes the conductive base material 11 that has spring force, compresses readily, has favorable compression returnability, and has a high Young’s modulus and a high rigidity, and the conductive member 12 provided in necessary areas of the conductive base material 11 and having a Young’s modulus and a rigidity lower than those of the conductive base material 11. The conductive member 12 may be provided only to desired portions of the thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse, including the contact portions with the fixed contact and the cylindrical case. The conductive member 12 disposed on side (a) of FIG. 1 is a surface including the contact portion with the fixed contact of the thermal fuse, and is an inner side surface 22a of a recessed surface of the movable contact 20 in FIG. 2. On the other hand, the conductive member 12 disposed on side (b) of FIG. 1 is a surface including the contact portion with the cylindrical case of the thermal fuse, and is an outer side surface 22b of the recessed surface of the movable contact 20 in FIG. 2. The contact material 10 for a thermal fuse is formed into the movable contact 20 having a star-shape including extending portions of five points, for example, the extending portions are further bent in one direction in a bowl shape or dish shape, and the fixed contact of the thermal fuse is abutted against a bottom surface of the inner side surface 22a of the bowl shape or the dish shape of the extending portions so that the outer side surface 22b of the extending portions comes into contact with a cylindrical case inner wall of the thermal fuse and can slide against the case inner wall. The conductive member 12 is provided in an overlay extending the conductive member 12 over, or in an inlay fitting the conductive member 12 into, at least the contact portion with the fixed contact of the conductive base material 11 and the contact portion with the cylindrical case. The movable contact of the present invention, by compounding the conductive member with the conductive base material, makes it possible to combine materials having different Young’s moduli and change a thickness of the contact material itself, as necessary. This makes it easy to adjust the spring characteristics of the contact material to a desired range, suppressing a decrease in the spring force of the movable contact material caused by annealing. Note that the overlaid or inlaid surface may not necessarily be formed flush (flat) with the conductive base material surface, and may be configured to be uneven by the overlay portion or the inlay portion. The movable contact 20 is preferably imparted with a recessed star shape as illustrated in FIG. 2. As long as the movable contact 20 can come into contact with and separate from the fixed contact of the desired thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse and come into contact with the cylindrical case inner wall and slide against the case inner wall, the movable contact 20 may have any shape and is not limited to the star shape. For example, a star shape with an increased or decreased number of points or a circular dish shape are also possible. Further, the movable contact 20 may, at an interface between a conductive base material 51 and a conductive member 52, be modified to a movable contact 50 provided with a metal interface layer 53 composed of any one of a Ag plating layer, a Ni plating layer, a Ni-P alloy plating layer, and an alloy plating layer with Ni as a main component for prevention of interdiffusion and improvement of adhesion of both materials. This delays or prevents diffusion of the conductive member 12 into the conductive base material 11 in a thermal environment.

    [0020] Means for changing the Young’s modulus and the rigidity of the contact material 10 include a method of creating a difference in thickness between the conductive base material 11 and the conductive member 12, a method of creating a difference by changing a degree of work hardening between the materials of the conductive base material 11 and the conductive member 12 by rolling/forging or the like, or by work hardening one of the conductive base material 11 and the conductive member 12, and a method of creating a difference by changing the degree of heat treatment of quenching/annealing or the like between the materials of the conductive base material 11 and conductive member 12 or by applying any of the heat treatments described above to one of the materials of the conductive base material 11 and the conductive member 12. Further, in the case of the conductive member 12 made of an alloy, the Young’s modulus and the rigidity of the contact material 10 may be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the content of a metal component or a metal oxide of the constituent alloy. For example, in the case of a Ag alloy, the Young’s modulus and the rigidity of the contact material 10 may be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the component amount of CuO, Ni, SnO.sub.2, In.sub.2O.sub.3, or the like.

    [0021] The thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse 40 according to the present invention is a thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse that utilizes the contact material 10 for a thermal fuse or the movable contact 20. The thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse 40, as illustrated in FIG. 4, includes, in an interior of a cylindrical case 41 having favorable electrical conductivity and favorable thermal conductivity, a thermosensitive pellet 42 that melts or softens at a specific temperature, a strong compression spring 43 configured to press the thermosensitive pellet 42, an insulating cover 44 closing an opening of the cylindrical case 41, a weak compression spring 45 abutting against the insulating cover 44, a first lead 46 extending through the insulating cover 44 and including an inner end as a fixed contact 400, the movable contact 47 electrically connecting to the first lead 46 and the cylindrical case 41, a sealing resin 48 provided surrounding a portion of the first lead 46 and covering an outer end portion of the insulating cover 44, and sealing an open end portion of the cylindrical case 41, and a second lead 49 disposed at one end of the cylindrical case 41. The movable contact 47 includes the conductive base material and the conductive member covering a predetermined surface of the conductive base material, and the conductive member is provided only to desired portions including the contact portions with the fixed contact 400 and the cylindrical case 41, and is made of a material having a Young’s modulus and a rigidity different from those of the conductive base material. The conductive member of the movable contact may be provided to the contact portions of the conductive base material with the fixed contact and the cylindrical case by an overlay extending the conductive member over a planar surface of the conductive base material or an inlay fitting the conductive member into a cavity provided in the conductive base material. The movable contact is constituted by the conductive base material and the conductive member, making it possible to combine materials having different Young’s moduli, and change the thickness of the contact material itself, as necessary. Accordingly, the movable contact of the thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse of the present invention facilitates adjustment of the spring characteristics to a desired range and suppresses a reduction in the spring force of the movable contact material caused by annealing. The overlaid or inlaid surface may not necessarily be formed flush (flat) with the conductive base material surface, and may be configured to be uneven by the overlay portion or the inlay portion. For example, although not specifically illustrated in FIG. 4, the movable contact 47 is provided with an overlay layer or an inlay layer composed of a conductive base material 21 having springiness that compresses readily, has favorable compression returnability, and has a high Young’s modulus and a high rigidity, and the conductive members 22a, 22b having Young’s moduli and rigidities lower than those of the conductive base material 21 in the desired portion 22a including the contact portion with the fixed contact 400 and in the contact portion 22b with the cylindrical case 41, as described in FIG. 2. The thermosensitive pellet-type thermal fuse 40 may further be provided with a pressing plate 401 on both ends of the strong compression spring 43 as necessary, and, as necessary, the first lead 46 may be inserted into an insulating porcelain tube 402, and the insulating porcelain tube 402 may be adhered by the sealing resin 48.
