Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of high-voltage electrical appliance disconnection, and in particular to a disconnecting device. Background Art

[0002] During the breaking process, after the moving arc contact and the static arc contact are separated, an arc will be generated due to the high voltage. The basic principle of the current traditional circuit breaker's breaking device is to compress the gas in the cylinder and blow out the arc through the nozzle. The gas and the arc are in the same direction, which is not conducive to lengthening the arc. If the arc can be lengthened, the arc resistance is increased, and the heat dissipation is enhanced, the arc can be extinguished as soon as possible.

[0003] The invention patent CN106710960B discloses a gas circuit breaker with enhanced insulation recovery function, in which an expansion chamber, a compressed air chamber, a main nozzle, an auxiliary nozzle, a moving side arc contact and a static side arc contact constitute the core components of the arc interruption; the arc extinguishing chamber gas insulation recovery consists of an inner mixing zone and an outer mixing zone; the guide tube drainage hole draws the insulating gas from the outer mixing zone of the arc extinguishing chamber into the inner mixing zone of the arc extinguishing chamber, and performs the first stage mixing and cooling with the high-temperature arc gas in the area closest to the fracture; the support seat drainage hole draws the insulating gas outside the arc extinguishing chamber into the outer mixing zone of the arc extinguishing chamber, and performs the second stage mixing and cooling with the arc gas; the spoiler at the exhaust port reduces the local velocity of the discharged high-temperature mixed gas; a pressure balance hole is opened on the main contact shielding cover to reduce the pressure difference on both sides of the shielding cover; and a pressure balance hole is opened on the insulating tube to reduce the gas pressure fluctuation inside the insulating tube. The arc extinguishing area of ​​the above solution is also provided with an insulating cylinder, but the insulating cylinder is not sealed to form an air chamber. Instead, a pressure balance hole 11 is provided on the insulating cylinder 10 to form an air flow path A3. In contrast, in this patent, the gas is blown laterally toward the arc zone through an air guide pipe.

[0004] Patent document KR102105437B1 discloses a circuit breaker for gas-insulated switchgear with increased electrode contact grip. This solution relates to a circuit breaker for gas-insulated switchgear that effectively cools arc heat generated when contacts open, preventing deterioration of the insulation breakdown capability of the insulating gas and, in particular, preventing backflow of the insulation. By enhancing the sealing performance between the pressure chamber and the heating chamber, a safe and stable blocking function is implemented, increasing the convenience of switching operations, enabling manual operation, improving the contact grip of finger contacts, and blocking the problem of conductive faults, thereby increasing the electrode contact grip and resolving the risk of safety accidents.

[0005] In the above solution, the arc extinguishing part includes two gas chambers, namely the pressure chamber and the heating chamber. However, the above solution does not provide an air guide tube structure, nor does it introduce the gas in the pressure chamber into the arc zone through the air guide tube.

[0006] The invention patent CN104979132B discloses a gas-insulated circuit breaker, comprising: a fixed contact having a cavity formed therein; a fixed arc contact disposed in the cavity of the fixed contact; a fixed side conductor disposed to surround the fixed contact, and the fixed side conductor configures a gap between the fixed side conductor and the fixed contact as a discharge path for insulating gas; a movable contact having a cavity formed therein; a movable arc contact disposed in the cavity of the movable contact; a movable side conductor disposed to surround the movable contact, and the movable side conductor configures a gap between the movable side conductor and the movable contact as a discharge path for insulating gas; a first extension portion formed on the fixed side conductor and extending the discharge path of the fixed side conductor for insulating gas; and a second extension portion formed on the movable side conductor and extending the discharge path of the movable side conductor for insulating gas. The above solution is to accelerate the discharge of insulating gas by providing expansion zones (135, 165) on the moving side and the stationary side respectively. However, the present proposal is to guide the insulating gas in the second gas chamber to the arc zone through the gas guide tube to achieve the effect of horizontal arc blowing.
