Abstract
A fuse carrier mechanism and a connector assembly are provided. The fuse carrier mechanism includes an insulation body, a conductive carrier seat, and a movable component. The conductive carrier seat is configured to carry a fuse, and the movable component is movably connected to the insulation body. Two ends of the movable component are respectively defined as an operation end and an insertion end. The movable component has a pushing surface, and a distance between the pushing surface and the insulation body gradually changes along a first direction. When the movable component moves in the first direction, and the pushing surface moves to a position between the fuse and the insulation body, the pushing surface pushes against the fuse. The first direction is not parallel to the second direction.
Claims17
A fuse carrier mechanism, comprising:
- an insulation body;
- a conductive carrier seat configured to carry a fuse;
- and
- a movable component movably connected to the insulation body, wherein two ends of the movable component are respectively defined as an operation end and an insertion end, and wherein the movable component has a pushing surface, and a distance between the pushing surface and the insulation body gradually changes along a first direction;
- wherein, when the movable component moves in the first direction, and a section of the pushing surface that is adjacent to the insertion end moves to a position between the fuse and the insulation body, the pushing surface pushes against the fuse, such that the fuse moves away from the conductive carrier seat in a second direction, and wherein the first direction is not parallel to the second direction.
A connector assembly, comprising:
- a plurality of connection cables;
- a connector, wherein the connector includes:
- an insulation seat;
- and
- two connection terminal sets spaced apart from each other and electrically isolated from each other, wherein the two connection terminal sets are disposed in the insulation seat, and one of the two connection terminal sets is electrically connected to at least one of the connection cables;
- and
- a fuse carrier mechanism connected to the connector, wherein the fuse carrier mechanism includes:
- an insulation body;
- a conductive carrier seat configured to carry a fuse, wherein the conductive carrier seat is electrically connected between the other connection terminal set and another one of the connection cables;
- and
- a movable component connected to the insulation body, wherein two ends of the movable component are respectively defined as an operation end and an insertion end, and wherein the movable component has a pushing surface, and a distance between the pushing surface and the insulation body gradually changes along a first direction;
- wherein, when the movable component moves in the first direction, and a section of the pushing surface that is adjacent to the insertion end moves to a position between the fuse and the insulation body, the pushing surface pushes against the fuse, such that the fuse moves away from the conductive carrier seat in a second direction, and wherein the first direction is not parallel to the second direction.
A connector assembly, comprising:
- an insulation seat;
- two connection terminal sets spaced apart from each other and electrically isolated from each other, wherein the two connection terminal sets are disposed in the insulation seat;
- two holding components configured to carry a fuse, wherein one of the two holding components is electrically connected to one of the two connection terminal sets;
- a movable component having a pushing surface;
- and
- a plurality of connection cables, wherein at least one of the connection cables is electrically connected to another one of the two connection terminal sets, and another one of the connection cables is electrically connected to another one of the two holding components;
- wherein, when the movable component moves toward the fuse from a first position to a second position, the pushing surface pushes against the fuse, such that the fuse moves away from the two holding components.
