Abstract
A temperature switch includes a base having a receiving hole, and a conducting mechanism mounted on the base and having first and second conductive modules, a connection module connected electrically and releasably to the first and second conductive modules, and two deformable rods that are disposed in the receiving hole and that push the second conductive module to abut against the connection module. The second conductive module is moved away from the connection module when one of the deformable rods is deformed by temperature to switch the temperature switch from an energized position to a safety cut-off position.
Claims6
A temperature switch for electrical connection with two electrical wires, comprising:
- a base having a receiving hole;
- a conducting mechanism mounted on said base and including a first conductive module for electrically connecting one of the electrical wires, a second conductive module for electrically connecting the other one of the electrical wires, a connection module connected electrically and releasably to said first and second conductive modules, and a safety unit including two deformable rods that are disposed in said receiving hole, that abut against each other, that are aligned along a longitudinal axis of said receiving hole, and that push said second conductive module to abut against said connection module;
- and
- a temperature control mechanism mounted on said base and controlling said first conductive module to move away from said connection module so as to switch said temperature switch from an energized position to a normal power off position;
- wherein said second conductive module is moved away from said connection module when one of said deformable rods is deformed by temperature to switch said temperature switch from the energized position to a safety cut-off position.
