[0035] Example 1

[0036] Combination Figures 1 to 7 A novel circuit breaker includes an arc extinguishing hood 6, in which a fixed arc extinguishing assembly and a rotating arc extinguishing assembly are arranged, and the rotating arc extinguishing assembly and the fixed arc extinguishing assembly are arranged alternately.

[0037] A high-voltage electrode channel 13 is provided at the lower part of the arc extinguishing hood, and a high-voltage electrode 2 is provided in the high-voltage electrode channel. The high-voltage electrode is connected to the rotating arc extinguishing assembly through a connecting assembly.

[0038] A low-voltage electrode 1 is arranged in the center of the fixed arc-extinguishing assembly.

[0039] During the disconnection process of the high-voltage electrode, the high-voltage electrode is separated from the low-voltage electrode, and the high-voltage electrode moves downward. The high-voltage electrode drives the rotating arc extinguishing assembly to rotate through the connecting assembly. The rotating arc extinguishing assembly and the fixed arc extinguishing assembly rotate relative to each other, and the arc 5 between the high-voltage electrode and the low-voltage electrode is stretched to achieve the purpose of extinguishing the arc and interrupting the current.

[0040] Specifically, the fixed arc extinguishing assembly includes a plurality of concentric fixed arc extinguishing rings 3 arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, and the rotating arc extinguishing assembly includes a plurality of concentric rotating arc extinguishing rings 4 arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. The fixed arc extinguishing rings and the rotating arc extinguishing rings are arranged alternately, and the fixed arc extinguishing ring is fixedly arranged between two adjacent rotating arc extinguishing rings, and the rotating arc extinguishing ring can rotate relative to the fixed arc extinguishing ring.

[0041] Specifically, the cross-sections of the fixed arc extinguishing ring 3 and the rotating arc extinguishing ring 4 are both arcs with an arc angle of 235°, and the arc angles of all the fixed arc extinguishing rings and the rotating arc extinguishing rings are consistent. Figure 1 .

[0042] The arc extinguishing cover is a closed flat cylindrical structure, which includes a first disc and a second disc. A fixed arc extinguishing ring is fixedly connected between the first disc and the second disc, and a rotating arc extinguishing ring is slidably connected between the first disc and the second disc. The rotating arc extinguishing ring can rotate and slide on the first disc and the second disc.

[0043] The space between the arc extinguishing cover, the fixed arc extinguishing ring and the rotating arc extinguishing ring constitutes an arc extinguishing cavity. The relative movement of the fixed arc extinguishing ring and the rotating arc extinguishing ring effectively extinguishes the arc between the high-voltage electrode and the low-voltage electrode in the arc extinguishing cavity.

[0044] Annular slideways are evenly spaced on the first disc and the second disc. The upper slideway of the rotary arc extinguishing ring is connected to the slideway 14 of the first disc, and the lower slideway of the rotary arc extinguishing ring is connected to the slideway 15 of the second disc.

[0045] The high-voltage electrode channel 13 is communicated with the arc extinguishing cover. The high-voltage electrode 2 is a cylindrical electrode and can move up and down in the high-voltage electrode channel.

[0046] like Figure 1 A limiting block 11 is provided on the high voltage electrode.

[0047] The connection assembly includes a limit sleeve 12, a linkage belt 8 and a connecting rod 10. The limit sleeve is sleeved on the high-voltage electrode and is located below the limit block. The linkage belt is provided with connecting columns 7 at intervals. The connecting columns pass through the slideway of the second disc and are connected to the lower part of the rotating arc extinguishing ring. Figure 2The linkage belt and the connecting column connect the lower parts of all rotating arc extinguishing rings together. The linkage belt is located outside the second disc, and one end of the linkage belt is hinged to the outer center of the second disc. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the limit sleeve through the shaft 9, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the linkage belt.

[0048] The linkage belt always remains in the radial direction of the arc extinguishing hood, ensuring the consistency and synchronization of the movement of each rotating arc extinguishing ring.

[0049] When the high voltage electrode drives the limit block to move downward, the limit block drives the limit sleeve to move, and the limit sleeve drives the linkage belt and the rotating arc extinguishing ring to slide in the slideway through the connecting rod. The arc is stretched to 5-80 times the initial length or even higher in a purely mechanical way by rotating the rotating arc extinguishing ring relative to the fixed arc extinguishing ring, so as to achieve the purpose of efficient arc extinguishing. Figure 7 .

[0050] The materials of the fixed arc extinguishing ring, the rotating arc extinguishing ring, the arc extinguishing cover, the limiting sleeve, the linkage belt and the connecting rod are insulating materials such as resin, silicone rubber, epoxy board, bakelite board, diphenyl ether board or organic silicon board.

[0051] The inner walls of the fixed arc extinguishing ring, the rotating arc extinguishing ring, the first disc and the second disc are all provided with grid protrusions to increase the creepage distance of the inner wall so that the air breakdown voltage at the same distance is smaller than the creepage breakdown voltage of the inner wall surface. Figure 6 shown.

[0052] The difference between the radius of adjacent fixed arc extinguishing rings and the radius of the rotating arc extinguishing rings is equal.

[0053] In fact, the number of fixed arc extinguishing rings and rotating arc extinguishing rings can be adjusted according to the breaking current, and the value range is an integer in [0,∞).

[0054] The high voltage electrode and low voltage electrode are made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper or silver.

[0055] The low voltage electrode is led to the outside of the arc extinguishing hood through an insulated wire 16. In order to connect with the low voltage side of the arc to be extinguished, the perforations between the insulated wire and the arc extinguishing hood are strictly sealed to prevent the arc from passing through. Figure 4 shown.

[0056] In this example, the number of fixed arc extinguishing rings is 6. By deduction, it can be seen that when the rotating arc extinguishing ring rotates to lengthen the arc, the arc length is 7.38 times the initial arc length, achieving a better arc extinguishing effect. Figure 7 shown.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] Combination Figures 1 to 8A novel circuit breaker includes an arc extinguishing hood 6, in which a fixed arc extinguishing assembly and a rotating arc extinguishing assembly are arranged, and the rotating arc extinguishing assembly and the fixed arc extinguishing assembly are arranged alternately.

[0059] A high-voltage electrode channel 13 is provided at the lower part of the arc extinguishing hood, and a high-voltage electrode 2 is provided in the high-voltage electrode channel. The high-voltage electrode is connected to the rotating arc extinguishing assembly through a connecting assembly.

[0060] A low-voltage electrode 1 is arranged in the center of the fixed arc-extinguishing assembly.

[0061] During the disconnection process of the high-voltage electrode, the high-voltage electrode is separated from the low-voltage electrode, and the high-voltage electrode moves downward. The high-voltage electrode drives the rotating arc extinguishing assembly to rotate through the connecting assembly. The rotating arc extinguishing assembly and the fixed arc extinguishing assembly rotate relative to each other, and the arc 5 between the high-voltage electrode and the low-voltage electrode is stretched to achieve the purpose of extinguishing the arc and interrupting the current.

[0062] Specifically, the fixed arc extinguishing assembly includes a plurality of concentric fixed arc extinguishing rings 3 arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, and the rotating arc extinguishing assembly includes a plurality of concentric rotating arc extinguishing rings 4 arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. The fixed arc extinguishing rings and the rotating arc extinguishing rings are arranged alternately, and the fixed arc extinguishing ring is fixedly arranged between two adjacent rotating arc extinguishing rings, and the rotating arc extinguishing ring can rotate relative to the fixed arc extinguishing ring.

[0063] Specifically, the cross-sections of the fixed arc extinguishing ring 3 and the rotating arc extinguishing ring 4 are both arcs with an arc angle of 270°, and the arc angles of all the fixed arc extinguishing rings and the rotating arc extinguishing rings are consistent. Figure 8 .

[0064] The arc extinguishing cover is a closed flat cylindrical structure, which includes a first disc and a second disc. A fixed arc extinguishing ring is fixedly connected between the first disc and the second disc, and a rotating arc extinguishing ring is slidably connected between the first disc and the second disc. The rotating arc extinguishing ring can rotate and slide on the first disc and the second disc.

[0065] The space between the arc extinguishing cover, the fixed arc extinguishing ring and the rotating arc extinguishing ring constitutes an arc extinguishing cavity. The relative movement of the fixed arc extinguishing ring and the rotating arc extinguishing ring effectively extinguishes the arc between the high-voltage electrode and the low-voltage electrode in the arc extinguishing cavity.

[0066] Annular slideways are evenly spaced on the first disc and the second disc. The upper slideway of the rotary arc extinguishing ring is connected to the slideway 14 of the first disc, and the lower slideway of the rotary arc extinguishing ring is connected to the slideway 15 of the second disc.

[0067] The high-voltage electrode channel 13 is communicated with the arc extinguishing cover. The high-voltage electrode 2 is a cylindrical electrode and can move up and down in the high-voltage electrode channel.

[0068] like Figure 8 A limiting block 11 is provided on the high voltage electrode.

[0069] The connection assembly includes a limit sleeve 12, a linkage belt 8 and a connecting rod 10. The limit sleeve is sleeved on the high-voltage electrode and is located below the limit block. The linkage belt is provided with connecting columns 7 at intervals. The connecting columns pass through the slideway of the second disc and are connected to the lower part of the rotating arc extinguishing ring. Figure 2 The linkage belt and the connecting column connect the lower parts of all the rotating arc extinguishing rings together. The linkage belt is located outside the second disc, and one end of the linkage belt is hinged to the outer center of the second disc; one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the limit sleeve, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the linkage belt.

[0070] The linkage belt always remains in the radial direction of the arc extinguishing hood, ensuring the consistency and synchronization of the movement of each rotating arc extinguishing ring.

[0071] When the high voltage electrode drives the limit block to move downward, the limit block drives the limit sleeve to move, and the limit sleeve drives the linkage belt and the rotating arc extinguishing ring to slide in the slideway through the connecting rod. The arc is stretched to 5-80 times the initial length or even higher in a purely mechanical way by rotating the rotating arc extinguishing ring relative to the fixed arc extinguishing ring, so as to achieve the purpose of efficient arc extinguishing. Figure 7 .

[0072] The materials of the fixed arc extinguishing ring, the rotating arc extinguishing ring, the arc extinguishing cover, the limiting sleeve, the linkage belt and the connecting rod are insulating materials such as resin, silicone rubber, epoxy board, bakelite board, diphenyl ether board or organic silicon board.

[0073] The inner walls of the fixed arc extinguishing ring, the rotating arc extinguishing ring, the first disc and the second disc are all provided with grid protrusions to increase the creepage distance of the inner wall so that the air breakdown voltage at the same distance is smaller than the creepage breakdown voltage of the inner wall surface. Figure 6 shown.

[0074] The difference between the radius of adjacent fixed arc extinguishing rings and the radius of the rotating arc extinguishing rings is equal.

[0075] In fact, the number of fixed arc extinguishing rings and rotating arc extinguishing rings can be adjusted according to the breaking current, and the value range is an integer in [0,∞).

[0076] The high voltage electrode and low voltage electrode are made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper or silver.

[0077] The low voltage electrode is led to the outside of the arc extinguishing hood through an insulated wire 16. In order to connect with the low voltage side of the arc to be extinguished, the perforations between the insulated wire and the arc extinguishing hood are strictly sealed to prevent the arc from passing through. Figure 4 shown.

[0078] In this example, the number of fixed arc extinguishing rings is 6. It can be deduced that when the rotating arc extinguishing ring rotates to lengthen the arc, the arc length is 13.59 times the initial arc length, achieving a better arc extinguishing effect. Figure 7 shown.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] Combination Figures 1 to 8 A novel circuit breaker includes an arc extinguishing hood 6, in which a fixed arc extinguishing assembly and a rotating arc extinguishing assembly are arranged, and the rotating arc extinguishing assembly and the fixed arc extinguishing assembly are arranged alternately.

[0081] A high-voltage electrode channel 13 is provided at the lower part of the arc extinguishing hood, and a high-voltage electrode 2 is provided in the high-voltage electrode channel. The high-voltage electrode is connected to the rotating arc extinguishing assembly through a connecting assembly.

[0082] A low-voltage electrode 1 is arranged in the center of the fixed arc-extinguishing assembly.

[0083] During the disconnection process of the high-voltage electrode, the high-voltage electrode is separated from the low-voltage electrode, and the high-voltage electrode moves downward. The high-voltage electrode drives the rotating arc extinguishing assembly to rotate through the connecting assembly. The rotating arc extinguishing assembly and the fixed arc extinguishing assembly rotate relative to each other, and the arc 5 between the high-voltage electrode and the low-voltage electrode is stretched to achieve the purpose of extinguishing the arc and interrupting the current.

[0084] Specifically, the fixed arc extinguishing assembly includes a plurality of concentric fixed arc extinguishing rings 3 arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, and the rotating arc extinguishing assembly includes a plurality of concentric rotating arc extinguishing rings 4 arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. The fixed arc extinguishing rings and the rotating arc extinguishing rings are arranged alternately, and the fixed arc extinguishing ring is fixedly arranged between two adjacent rotating arc extinguishing rings, and the rotating arc extinguishing ring can rotate relative to the fixed arc extinguishing ring.

[0085] Specifically, the cross-sections of the fixed arc extinguishing ring 3 and the rotating arc extinguishing ring 4 are both arcs with an arc angle of 270°, and the arc angles of all the fixed arc extinguishing rings and the rotating arc extinguishing rings are consistent. Figure 8 .

[0086] The arc extinguishing cover is a closed flat cylindrical structure, which includes a first disc and a second disc. A fixed arc extinguishing ring is fixedly connected between the first disc and the second disc, and a rotating arc extinguishing ring is slidably connected between the first disc and the second disc. The rotating arc extinguishing ring can rotate and slide on the first disc and the second disc.

[0087] The space between the arc extinguishing cover, the fixed arc extinguishing ring and the rotating arc extinguishing ring constitutes an arc extinguishing cavity. The relative movement of the fixed arc extinguishing ring and the rotating arc extinguishing ring effectively extinguishes the arc between the high-voltage electrode and the low-voltage electrode in the arc extinguishing cavity.

The upper slideway of the rotary arc extinguishing ring is connected to the slideway 14 of the first disc, and the lower slideway of the rotary arc extinguishing ring is connected to the slideway 15 of the second disc.

[0089] The high-voltage electrode channel 13 is communicated with the arc extinguishing cover. The high-voltage electrode 2 is a cylindrical electrode and can move up and down in the high-voltage electrode channel.

[0090] like Figure 8 A limiting block 11 is provided on the high voltage electrode.

[0091] The connection assembly includes a limit sleeve 12, a linkage belt 8 and a connecting rod 10. The limit sleeve is sleeved on the high-voltage electrode and is located below the limit block.

The linkage belt is located outside the second disc, and one end of the linkage belt is hinged to the outer center of the second disc; one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the limit sleeve, and the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the linkage belt.

[0092] The linkage belt always remains in the radial direction of the arc extinguishing hood, ensuring the consistency and synchronization of the movement of each rotating arc extinguishing ring.

[0093] When the high voltage electrode drives the limit block to move downward, the limit block drives the limit sleeve to move, and the limit sleeve drives the linkage belt and the rotating arc extinguishing ring to slide in the slideway through the connecting rod. The arc is stretched to 5-80 times the initial length or even higher in a purely mechanical way by rotating the rotating arc extinguishing ring relative to the fixed arc extinguishing ring, so as to achieve the purpose of efficient arc extinguishing. Figure 7 .

[0094] The materials of the fixed arc extinguishing ring, the rotating arc extinguishing ring, the arc extinguishing cover, the limiting sleeve, the linkage belt and the connecting rod are insulating materials such as resin, silicone rubber, epoxy board, bakelite board, diphenyl ether board or organic silicon board.

[0095] The inner walls of the fixed arc extinguishing ring, the rotating arc extinguishing ring, the first disc and the second disc are all provided with grid protrusions to increase the creepage distance of the inner wall so that the air breakdown voltage at the same distance is smaller than the creepage breakdown voltage of the inner wall surface. Figure 6 shown.

[0096] The difference between the radius of adjacent fixed arc extinguishing rings and the radius of the rotating arc extinguishing rings is equal.
