Abstract

A fuse seat with prompting function is to provide a fuse plugged therein conductively. The fuse seat includes an insulating body, two electricity-conducting pieces, two electric wires and a light-emitting unit. The insulating body is arranged an accommodating space and is configured a through trough. Two electricity-conducting pieces are respectively arranged in the accommodating space. The fuse is plugged into the accommodating space and is connected conductively to the electricity-conducting pieces. One side of each electric wire is respectively connected to the electricity-conducting pieces electrically and is extended out of the insulating body. The light-emitting unit is embedded fixedly in the insulating body, accommodated in the through trough and connected electrically to the electricity-conducting pieces respectively. When an overload occurs the light-emitting unit generates prompting light for the purpose of identification.

Claims

1. A fuse seat with prompting function, provided for a fuse plugged therein conductively, including:

an insulating body, which is arranged an accommodating space and is configured a through trough;

two electricity-conducting pieces, which are fixed in the accommodating space, and to which the fuse plugged in the accommodating space is connected conductively;

two electric wires, one side of each electric wire being electrically connected to one of the electricity-conducting pieces and extended out of the insulating body; and

a light-emitting unit, which is embedded fixedly to the insulating body and is accommodated in the through trough, and which is electrically connected to the electricity-conducting pieces;

wherein the fuse is shorted when an over load occurs, making the light-emitting unit generate a light-emitting prompt.

2. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 1, further including a resistance electrically connected to the light-emitting unit and the electricity-conducting piece.

3. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 2, wherein the electricity-conducting pieces and the light-emitting unit are fixed onto the insulating body by an injective enclosure.

4. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 3, wherein each of two sides of a bottom of the insulating body is arranged a connective through trough corresponding to each of the electricity-conducting pieces for the electric wires to pass through.

5. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 4, wherein the light-emitting unit has two connecting legs connected to the electricity-conducting pieces respectively, and wherein one of the connecting legs is electrically connected to the resistance.

6. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 5, wherein the insulating body is also connected to a cap that seals the accommodating space.

7. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 6, wherein the cap and the insulating body are connected to each other by a connecting tape.

8. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 4, wherein the accommodating space, the through trough and the connective through trough are intercommunicated to one another.

9. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 1, wherein the light-emitting unit is a light-emitting diode.

10. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 1, wherein the insulating unit is made of plastic or rubber.

11. The fuse seat with prompting function according to claim 1, wherein the electricity-conducting pieces are substantially shown as a “

B”

configuration.
