Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, and in particular to an explosive circuit breaker with an arc extinguishing grid. Background Art
[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device that can close, carry and interrupt current under normal circuit conditions and can close, carry and interrupt current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. Circuit breakers can be used in various circuits to selectively interrupt current flowing out of or into energy storage devices. For example, a circuit breaker can be used to protect the battery pack of an electric vehicle.
[0003] At present, the domestic market generally uses fuse-type circuit breakers in the field of electric vehicles, which are blown by the control system to achieve the purpose of power-off protection. It has the following shortcomings:
[0004] (1) The fuse is slow and the response is not timely;
[0005] (ii) As OEMs are manufacturing models with higher power, longer range and faster charging, a higher voltage platform (800-1000VDC) is required, and the fuse circuit breaker will need to be larger and occupy more space;
[0006] (III) Insufficient security:
[0007] (1) Since the high-voltage circuit of the vehicle has a one-time pulse overload current, such as at the moment of circuit connection / disconnection, which usually lasts for a short time, with the frequent use of the vehicle, the pulse current will in many cases occur thousands of times during the entire service life of the device, causing premature fatigue damage to the fuse. Even under normal operating conditions, the fuse may break at certain moments;
[0008] (2) When an electric vehicle is involved in an accidental collision, the high-voltage components of the metal shell are very easy to be squeezed and deformed. When the deformed metal shell of the electric component comes into contact with the high-voltage copper busbar, it may cause a short circuit, fire, or electric shock to personnel;
[0009] Currently, two solutions are usually adopted to solve the above problem (2):
[0010] Solution 1: After a car collision, the collision sensor sends a collision signal to the electronic control unit responsible for controlling the high-voltage contactor. After receiving the collision command, the electronic control unit sends a power-off signal to the high-voltage distribution system to cut off the high-voltage circuit by disconnecting the contactor. However, Solution 1 also has two risks: a. The danger has occurred before the electronic control unit reacts; b. During a vehicle collision, the intelligent judgment system cannot complete the entire logical judgment and power-off action due to damage to the signal line or power line.
[0011] Option 2: Add a fuse to the vehicle power circuit, hoping that the high-voltage circuit fuse will be disconnected when a short circuit occurs after a collision. The risk of this option is that when an incomplete short circuit occurs, the collision causes the high-voltage positive and negative poles to be connected to an equivalent heating impedance. Within the current range allowed by the fuse, local heating will cause a fire in the entire vehicle. Summary of the invention

[0027] (III) Beneficial technical effects
[0028] In summary, the present invention includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0029] 1. When in use, the blasting assembly explodes first, breaking the switching metal from the position of the first slot, thereby achieving the purpose of cutting off the current, and then under the impact of the explosion, the two swinging segments will rotate upward around the position of the second slot and enter the arc extinguishing chamber. As the two swinging segments rotate away from each other, the arc generated at the break of the switching metal will be stretched by the two swinging segments, and because the explosion generates a vertical upward shock wave, the arc will be blown into an arc shape and move upward to the position of the arc extinguishing grid and cut into segments by the arc extinguishing grid, thereby achieving the purpose of arc extinguishing; among them, since the blasting assembly, the arc generation position and the arc extinguishing grid are located on the same vertical line, the arc will be immediately blown into the arc extinguishing grid after it is generated to complete the arc extinguishing, thereby preventing the arc from leaking out, and has the advantages of fast response, efficient and rapid arc extinguishing, safety, stability and reliability;
[0030] 2. Since the blasting assembly includes a blasting chamber, a fixing ring and an igniter, the blasting chamber is provided on the upper surface of the base, the igniter and the fixing ring are both arranged in the blasting chamber, the igniter includes a blasting end and an ignition end, the blasting end is inserted in the fixing ring, the position of the blasting end corresponds to the position of the first slot, the top of the fixing ring contacts the on-off metal, the on-off metal presses and fixes the igniter in the blasting chamber by squeezing the fixing ring, a gap is provided between the blasting end and the on-off metal, an ignition fuel is provided inside the blasting end, and the ignition end is electrically connected to the control system of the circuit in which the circuit device is located through a wire; therefore, when a danger occurs, the control system transmits a signal to the ignition end of the igniter, causing the blasting end of the igniter to explode, and the impact generated by the explosion will directly act on the position of the first slot, thereby facilitating the on-off metal to quickly disconnect from the first slot to cut off the circuit, and at the same time, the high-pressure gas generated by the explosion will impact upward into the arc extinguishing chamber, blowing the arc generated at the fracture of the on-off metal to the arc extinguishing grid to achieve arc extinguishing, which has the advantages of rapid response and efficient arc extinguishing;
[0031] 3. Since the bottom connection line of multiple arc extinguishing grids is arc-shaped after being arranged and distributed, and the vertex of the arc corresponds to the position of the first slot, after the explosion occurs, the arc generated at the break of the switching metal will also form an arc under the stretching of the two swinging sections and the impact of the explosion gas, so it is convenient for the arc extinguishing grid to synchronously extinguish the arc at each position of the arc, thereby improving the arc extinguishing efficiency and arc extinguishing effect;
[0032] 4. Since the arc extinguishing grid is provided with an arc extinguishing cutout at the bottom, the arc extinguishing cutout includes a U-shaped cutout and a V-shaped cutout, and the V-shaped cutout is located at the top of the U-shaped cutout, the arc can be cut off again after being cut off, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid extinguishing and discharge;
[0033] 5. Since the inner wall of the shell above the arc extinguishing grid is provided with a gas guiding arc surface, the gas guiding arc surface is provided with two connected gas guiding arc surfaces, the position of the connecting line of the two gas guiding arc surfaces corresponds to the first groove, and the height of the ends of the two gas guiding arc surfaces away from each other is higher than the height of the connecting end. Through the above arrangement, the high-pressure gas generated by the explosion will contact the gas guiding arc surface after passing through the arc extinguishing grid, and the gas guiding arc surface will guide the high-pressure gas to two opposite directions respectively, thereby reducing the impact of the high-pressure gas on the top surface of the shell, and achieving the effect of pressure relief and protection;
[0034] 6. Since a plurality of pressure relief channels are arranged on one side of the exhaust part of the middle seat close to the inner wall of the shell, the pressure relief channels are divided by a plurality of partitions arranged on the exhaust part and evenly spaced, one end of the pressure relief channel is connected to the area above the arc extinguishing grid, and a plurality of pressure relief holes are opened on the shell at positions corresponding to the pressure relief channels; through the above arrangement, the gas guide arc surface can respectively guide the high-pressure gas into the pressure relief channels of the two exhaust parts of the middle seat, and since a plurality of pressure relief channels are arranged, the high-pressure gas can be diverted to achieve a pressure relief effect, and after the high-pressure gas enters the pressure relief channel, it can finally be discharged from the shell through the pressure relief holes;
[0035] 7. Since filter cotton is arranged at the position of the pressure relief channel corresponding to the inner wall of the shell, and the filter cotton covers all the pressure relief holes, the filter cotton can prevent the fine particles generated by the explosion from flying out of the shell from the pressure relief holes;
[0036] 8. Since each pressure relief channel is provided with a diverter plate, the diverter plate is arranged in parallel with the partition plate, and the diverter plate is arranged at the center of two adjacent partition plates, the diverter plate can cut the gas in the pressure relief channel into smaller airflows, further improving the pressure relief effect;
[0037] 9. Since two groups of protection components are arranged on the inner wall of the bottom opening of the arc extinguishing part, the protection components include two limit blocks and two blocking plates; the two limit blocks are respectively located on the two vertical inner walls of the bottom opening of the arc extinguishing part and perpendicular to the first groove, the spacing between the two limit blocks is 1-2mm smaller than the width of the corresponding part of the swinging section, and the two limit blocks are used to clamp the swinging section that swings after the explosion; the two blocking plates are arranged vertically and parallel to each other, and the blocking plates are arranged on the vertical inner walls of the bottom opening of the arc extinguishing part and parallel to the first groove, and the blocking plates are used to prevent the swinging section that swings after the explosion from colliding with the middle seat; through the above arrangement, after the explosion, the two swinging sections will be driven to the positions of the limit blocks corresponding to each other, and under the impact of the explosion, the swinging sections will be clamped by the two relatively arranged limit blocks or pass through between the two relatively arranged limit blocks, thereby avoiding the accidental contact of the two swinging sections after the swinging back and causing danger; in addition, the arrangement of the blocking plates can prevent the swinging sections from rotating too much and colliding with the middle seat, thereby protecting the middle seat.

The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0056] Example:
[0057] Reference Figure 1-9, is an explosion-type circuit breaker with an arc extinguishing grid disclosed in the present invention, comprising a housing 1, a base 2 and a switching metal 3. The bottom of the housing 1 is open, the base 2 is connected to the open end of the bottom of the housing 1 by bolts, the switching metal 3 is clamped and fixed by the housing 1 and the base 2, and an explosion assembly is arranged on the base 2.
[0058] The shell 1 and the switching metal 3 together constitute an arc extinguishing chamber 7. A first groove 8 and two second grooves 9 are arranged on the upper surface of the switching metal 3. The first groove 8 and the second groove 9 are both located in the arc extinguishing chamber 7. The first groove 8 is located at the midpoint of the two second grooves 9 and at the midpoint of the entire length direction of the switching metal 3. The portion of the switching metal 3 between the first groove 8 and the second groove 9 is a swinging section 10. The position of the first groove 8 corresponds to the position of the blasting assembly. A middle seat 11 is arranged in the arc extinguishing chamber 7, and the middle seat 11 is clamped and fixed by the switching metal 3 and the shell 1.
[0059] The middle seat 11 comprises an arc extinguishing portion 111 and two exhaust portions 112. The arc extinguishing portion 111 is arranged between the two exhaust portions 112. The bottom end of the arc extinguishing portion 111 is open. The arc extinguishing portion 111 is provided with a plurality of arc extinguishing grids 12. The arc extinguishing portion 111 is provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 22. The arc extinguishing grids 12 are clamped and fixed with the arc extinguishing portion 111 through the clamping grooves 22. The plurality of arc extinguishing grids 12 are parallel to each other and evenly spaced. The first groove 8 and the second groove 9 are both located below the arc extinguishing grid 12. A gap is provided between the bottom of the arc extinguishing grid 12 and the switching metal 3 for the swing section 10 to swing through. The straight line where the length direction of the first groove (8) is located is parallel to each arc extinguishing grid (12).
[0060] The blasting assembly includes a blasting chamber 4, a fixing ring 5 and an igniter 6. The blasting chamber 4 is opened on the upper surface of the base 2, and the igniter 6 and the fixing ring 5 are both arranged in the blasting chamber 4. The igniter 6 includes a blasting end 61 and an ignition end 62. The blasting end 61 is provided with an ignition fuel inside. The ignition fuel mainly includes but is not limited to the following components: zirconium powder, potassium perchlorate, fluororubber, sodium methyl cellulose, aluminum powder, etc. The blasting end 61 is inserted into the fixing ring 5, and the position of the blasting end 61 corresponds to the position of the first groove 8. The top of the fixing ring 5 is in conflict with the switch metal 3, and the switch metal 3 is pressed and fixed in the blasting chamber 4 by squeezing the fixing ring 5. A gap is set between the blasting end 61 and the switch metal 3 to prevent the explosion from directly destroying the switch metal 3. The ignition end 62 is electrically connected to the control system of the circuit in which the circuit device is located through a wire.
[0061] When the circuit breaker proposed in this embodiment is applied to an electric vehicle, the switch metal 3 is connected to the circuit of the electric vehicle, the ignition end 62 of the ignition device 6 is connected to the electric control system of the electric vehicle, and a trigger condition is set in the electric control system of the electric vehicle, such as collision, high temperature, overload, etc. When the above accident occurs, the electric control system transmits a signal to the ignition device 6 to detonate the ignition device 6, and the switch metal 3 can be blown off from the position of the first slot 8, thereby achieving the purpose of cutting off the current. Then, under the impact of the explosion, the two swing segments 10 will rotate upward around the position of the second slot 9 and enter the arc extinguishing chamber 7. As the two swing segments 10 rotate upward around the position of the second slot 9, the arc extinguishing chamber 7 will be opened. The swinging sections 10 rotate in directions away from each other, and the arc generated at the fracture of the switching metal 3 will be stretched by the two swinging sections 10. Since the explosion generates a vertically upward shock wave, the arc will be blown into an arc shape and move upward to the position of the arc extinguishing grid 12 and cut into segments by the arc extinguishing grid 12, thereby achieving the purpose of arc extinguishing. Among them, since the blasting component, the arc generation position and the arc extinguishing grid 12 are located on the same vertical line, the arc will be immediately blown into the arc extinguishing grid 12 after it is generated to complete the arc extinguishing, thereby preventing the arc from leaking out. Therefore, the circuit breaker proposed in this embodiment has the advantages of rapid response, safety, stability and reliability.
[0062] In order to ensure the safety of the entire circuit after the on-off metal 3 is disconnected and exploded, the distance between the two second slots 9 is not less than the minimum safe isolation distance of the circuit voltage of the circuit breaker. In this embodiment, the distance between the two second slots 9 is not less than the minimum safe isolation distance of the circuit voltage of the electric vehicle.
[0063] In addition, after the multiple arc extinguishing grids 12 are arranged and distributed, the bottom connection line is arc-shaped, and the vertex of the arc corresponds to the position of the first slot 8. Through the above arrangement, after the explosion occurs, the arc generated at the break of the switching metal 3 will also form an arc (such as Figure 5 The arc extinguishing grid 12 is convenient for synchronously extinguishing arcs at various positions of the arc-shaped electric arc, thereby improving the arc extinguishing efficiency and arc extinguishing effect.
[0064] The arc extinguishing grid 12 is provided with an arc extinguishing notch 13 at the bottom thereof, and the arc extinguishing notch 13 includes a U-shaped notch 131 and a V-shaped notch 132, and the V-shaped notch 132 is located at the top of the U-shaped notch 131. Through the above arrangement, the arc can be cut off again after being cut off, thereby achieving the purpose of rapid extinguishing and discharge. Here, the edge of the opening end of the U-shaped notch 131 and the bottom edge of the arc extinguishing grid 12 are arranged in a sharp angle shape, so as to form a tip discharge, which is conducive to rapid arc extinguishing.
[0065] Furthermore, the inner wall of the shell 1 located above the arc extinguishing grid 12 is provided with a gas guiding arc surface 14, and the gas guiding arc surface 14 is provided with two connected gas guiding arc surfaces, and the position of the connecting line of the two gas guiding arc surfaces 14 corresponds to the first groove 8, and the height of the ends of the two gas guiding arc surfaces 14 that are away from each other is higher than the height of the connecting end. Through the above arrangement, after the high-pressure gas generated by the explosion passes through the arc extinguishing grid 12, it will contact the gas guiding arc surface 14, and the gas guiding arc surface 14 will guide the high-pressure gas to two opposite directions respectively, thereby reducing the impact of the high-pressure gas on the top surface of the shell 1, achieving the effect of pressure relief and protection, and the gas guiding arc surface 14 will guide the high-pressure gas to the exhaust part 112 of the middle seat 11, thereby relieving and exhausting the high-pressure gas.
[0066] A plurality of pressure relief channels 15 are provided on one side of the exhaust portion 112 of the middle seat 11 close to the inner wall of the housing 1. The pressure relief channels 15 are separated by a plurality of partitions 16 arranged on the exhaust portion 112 and evenly spaced. One end of the pressure relief channel 15 is connected to the area above the arc extinguishing grid 12. A plurality of pressure relief holes 17 are provided on the housing 1 at positions corresponding to the pressure relief channels 15. Through the above arrangement, the gas guide arc surface 14 can respectively guide the high-pressure gas into the pressure relief channels 15 of the two exhaust portions 112 of the middle seat 11. Since a plurality of pressure relief channels 15 are provided, the high-pressure gas can be diverted to achieve a pressure relief effect. After the high-pressure gas enters the pressure relief channel 15, it can eventually be discharged from the housing 1 through the pressure relief holes 17.
[0067] Furthermore, a diverter plate 19 is provided in each pressure relief channel 15. The diverter plate 19 is arranged parallel to the partition 16. The diverter plate 19 is arranged at the center position of two adjacent partitions 16. Therefore, the diverter plate 19 can cut the gas in the pressure relief channel 15 into finer airflows, further improving the pressure relief effect.
[0068] In addition, filter cotton 18 is arranged at the position of the inner wall of the shell 1 corresponding to the pressure relief channel 15, and the filter cotton 18 completely covers all the pressure relief holes 17. The filter cotton 18 is a new type of inorganic insulating refractory material, including but not limited to aluminum caron fiber, produced using special textile technology and equipment, and its physical and chemical properties can be restored to their original state after drying. Through the above arrangement, the filter cotton 18 can prevent fine particles generated by the explosion from flying out of the shell 1 from the pressure relief hole 17.
[0069] Finally, two groups of protection components are provided on the inner wall of the bottom opening of the arc extinguishing part 111. The protection components include two limit blocks 20 and two blocking plates 21. The two limit blocks 20 are respectively located on the two vertical inner walls of the bottom opening of the arc extinguishing part 111 and perpendicular to the first slot 8. The limit blocks 20 are plastic blocks with certain elasticity and hardness. The spacing between the two limit blocks 20 is 1-2mm smaller than the width of the corresponding part of the swing section 10. The two limit blocks 20 are used to clamp the swing section 10 that swings after the explosion. The two blocking plates 21 are arranged vertically and parallel to each other. The blocking plates 21 are arranged on the vertical inner wall of the bottom opening of the arc extinguishing part 111 and parallel to the first slot 8. The blocking plates 21 are used to prevent the swing section 10 that swings after the explosion from colliding with the middle seat 11; the two groups of protection components are respectively used to protect the two swing sections 10 of the metal 3 that are switched on and off after the explosion.
[0070] Through the above arrangement, after the explosion occurs, the two swinging sections 10 will be driven to the positions of the respective corresponding limit blocks 20, and under the impact of the explosion, the swinging sections 10 will be stuck by the two oppositely arranged limit blocks 20 or pass through the two oppositely arranged limit blocks 20, thereby preventing the two swinging sections 10 from accidentally contacting each other after swinging back and causing danger. In addition, the setting of the blocking plate 21 can prevent the swinging section 10 from rotating too much and colliding with the middle seat 11, thereby protecting the middle seat 11.
[0071] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: when the blasting assembly receives a signal to explode, the switch metal 3 can be blown off from the position of the first slot 8, thereby achieving the purpose of cutting off the current, and then under the impact of the explosion, the two swinging segments 10 will rotate upward around the position of the second slot 9 and enter the arc extinguishing chamber 7. As the two swinging segments 10 rotate away from each other, the arc generated at the break of the switch metal 3 will be stretched by the two swinging segments 10, and since the explosion generates a vertically upward shock wave, the arc will be blown into an arc shape and move upward to the position of the arc extinguishing grid 12 and cut into segments by the arc extinguishing grid 12, thereby achieving the purpose of arc extinguishing, and the high-pressure gas generated by the explosion can be discharged from the shell 1 through the pressure relief hole 17; wherein, since the blasting assembly, the arc generation position and the arc extinguishing grid 12 are located on the same vertical line, the arc will be immediately blown into the arc extinguishing grid 12 after it is generated to complete the arc extinguishing, thereby preventing the arc from leaking out, so the circuit breaker proposed in this embodiment has the advantages of rapid response, safety, stability and reliability.
