Title: Protector for instant driving circuit of electric device
Inventor: CHEN-HAN LIAO
Filed: 2007-03-26
Abstract: A protector for an instant driving circuit of an electric device is described. The protector comprises a driving device and a voltage stabilizing device. The driving device has a sealed tube installed in it with two spring plates normally contacting each other. One of the spring plates is provided on one side with a semiconductor chip having a function of sensing and limiting an electric current and is connected to an electric resistant wire. The two spring plates are connected respectively to electric conductive wires outside the sealed tube. The voltage stabilizing device also has a sealed tube filled with a gas or gaseous composition capable of conducting electricity, with two conductive plates opposite to each other installed inside. The two conductive plates are respectively connected to electric conductive wires outside the sealed tube. One electric conductive wire of the driving device is connected to that of the voltage stabilizing device, such that the driving device is serially connected to the voltage stabilizing device. When the protector is connected to a driving circuit of an electric device, after the switch of a power source is turned on, a current of high voltage generated by the power source flows into the voltage stabilizing device, and the two conductive plates installed inside the sealed tube of the voltage stabilizing device are electrically conducted due to the function of the gas filled in the sealed tube of the voltage stabilizing device, and the current flows into the driving device. The spring plate having the semiconductor chip is then instantly separated from the other spring plate for a very short time and then returns back to contact together with the other spring plate, so as to trigger the electric device(s), and meanwhile, the extra current of the power source is consumed in the electric resistant wire, such that the surge current instantly generated from the power source is consumed, and damage to the electric device due to the surge current is prevented.
