The application belongs to the technical field of arc extinguishing chamber of
circuit breaker, and relates to a double-acting arc extinguishing chamber, a switching-on and switching-off method and a
circuit breaker. The double-acting arc extinguishing chamber comprises a moving contact, a static contact and a transmission mechanism. The static contact comprises a static support, a static arc contact and a static main contact. The moving contact comprises a moving main contact, a moving arc contact and a
nozzle. The transmission mechanism comprises an upper driving rod, an upper
elbow arm rod, a lower driving rod, a lower
elbow arm rod, a rotating rod and a driving rod. One end of the upper driving rod is hingedly connected to the upper part of the
nozzle, and the other end is hingedly connected to the upper end of the upper
elbow arm rod. One end of the lower driving rod is hingedly connected to the lower part of the
nozzle, and the other end is hingedly connected to the lower end of the lower elbow arm rod. The lower end of the upper elbow arm rod is hingedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, and the upper end of the lower elbow arm rod is hingedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod. The middle position of the rotating rod is hingedly connected to one end of the driving rod, and the other end of the driving rod is connected to the static arc contact. The problem of vibration caused by the
instability of the
linear motion of the static arc contact and the quick-return characteristic of the existing structure due to the unbalanced structure of the transmission rod is solved.
