## Abstract

A fuse line fixing structure of a fuse includes a base having first and second support sections. The first support section has two sides each forming a first wing and a first concave surface is formed between the first support section and the first wings. First and second electrodes are respectively arranged at two ends of the base. The first electrode includes a first curved plate arranged between the first support section and the first wings. The first curved plate has a convex engagement surface positioned against the first concave surface and a concave engagement surface facing toward an upper side of the first concave surface. The fuse line straddles between the first and second support sections and has an outer circumferential surface in mutual contact, through surface to surface engagement, with the concave engagement surface of the first curved plate.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A fuse line fixing structure of a fuse, comprising:
a base, which comprises a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion between the first end and the second end, the intermediate portion being provided with a first support section adjacent to the first end and a second support section adjacent to the second end;
a first electrode, which is arranged on the first end, the first electrode comprising a first curved plate, the first curved plate comprising a concave engagement surface, the concave engagement surface of the first curved plate being disposed on the first support section; and
a fuse line, which is arranged to straddle between the first support section and the second support section, such that an outer circumferential surface of one end of the fuse line is in mutual contact engagement with the concave engagement surface of the first curved plate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 1, wherein the first support section has two sides each of which comprises a first wing, such that a first concave surface is formed between the first support section and the first wings, the first curved plate having a convex engagement surface in contact engagement with the first wings.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 2, wherein a second electrode is arranged on the second end, the second electrode comprising a second curved plate, the second curved plate comprises a concave engagement surface, the concave engagement surface of the second curved plate being disposed on the second support section, an outer circumferential surface of an opposite end of the fuse line being in mutual contact engagement with the concave engagement surface of the second curved plate.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 3, wherein the second support section has two sides each of which comprises a second wing, such that a second concave surface is formed between the second support section and the second wings, the second curved plate having a convex engagement surface in contact engagement with the second wings.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 4, wherein a cavity is arranged between the first support section and the second support section.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 5, wherein a cover is set on and covers the base the intermediate portion and the cavity, such that the fuse line is located in an interior space of the cover.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 6, wherein a through opening is formed in at least one of a top surface and a lateral surfaces of the cover and in communication with the cavity.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 7, wherein the first concave surface and the second concave surface are each a concave surface in the form of an arc form or a folded form, the outer circumferential of the one end of the fuse line being in mutual contact, through surface to surface engagement, with the concave engagement surface of the first curved plate, the outer circumferential surface of the opposite end of the fuse line being in mutual contact, through surface to surface engagement, with the concave engagement surface of the second curved plate.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The fuse line fixing structure of the fuse according to claim 8, wherein an insulation layer is filled between the one end of the fuse line and the first support section and the first wings and another insulation layer is filled between the opposite end of the fuse line and the second support section and the second wings.
