Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of universal circuit breakers, in particular to an arc extinguishing chamber of a universal circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] Small current frame universal circuit breakers are widely used in low voltage power distribution systems in factories, residential areas and commercial centers. They have large current carrying capacity and comprehensive protection, and can be used directly as main switches in distribution circuits.

[0003] When a fault current appears in the system, the controller triggers the operating mechanism to drive the contacts to open quickly, generating an arc between the contacts. The moving contact, static contact and arc extinguishing chamber constitute a contact arc extinguishing system, which uses arc-starting plates, arc extinguishing grids and other components to transfer, split, cool and eliminate the arc, ultimately achieving the purpose of extinguishing the arc.

[0004] At present, the arc extinguishing chamber of the small current frame universal circuit breaker generally adopts a multi-grid riveted structure, which is riveted into a whole through the red steel paperboard or other insulating materials on both sides. The grids are relatively insulated but maintain a certain electrical gap. In order to make it easier for the arc to enter the grid, an asymmetric V-shaped structure is often used, and the positive and negative arrangements are performed. Finally, the overall structure after the grid is riveted is connected to the insulating parts of the outlet through screws; on the other hand, the free gas after the grid is cooled contains a large amount of metal vapor, and directly releasing it from the arc extinguishing chamber may have a serious impact on the external insulation of the circuit breaker. Therefore, it is necessary to further eliminate the metal free gas at the outlet of the arc extinguishing chamber. In the industry, engineers will use multi-layer perforated metal mesh plates at the outlet of the arc extinguishing chamber to further eliminate the metal vapor; in addition, in order to prevent the pressure in the arc extinguishing chamber from falling rapidly during disconnection, multi-layer metal rods are also stacked to form a certain damping when the outlet channel is eliminated. However, it is difficult for the above structure to obtain an optimal balance between smooth gas outlet, good metal vapor adsorption and channel damping, which often leads to breaking failure. Either the external insulation of the circuit breaker is broken down, or the arc extinguishing chamber cannot withstand the breaking impact and the arc extinguishing chamber collapses.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides an arc extinguishing chamber of a universal circuit breaker, which includes an arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 and an ion elimination assembly 200. The arc extinguishing grid pieces in the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 can effectively cut and disperse the arc, increase the arc length, improve the resistance, and accelerate the arc extinction. The arc extinguishing grid pieces absorb part of the arc heat, reduce the arc temperature, and help to quickly extinguish the arc. The special structure of the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 can guide the high-temperature ionized gas to flow upward and enter the ion elimination assembly 200. The structural design in the ion elimination assembly 200 can quickly cool the high-temperature gas rising from the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100. Through special materials and structural design, the ion elimination assembly 200 can effectively absorb the metal vapor generated by the arc to prevent it from leaking. The ion elimination assembly 200 controls the gas discharge speed and direction, and safely releases the cooled gas while maintaining an appropriate internal pressure. Through an effective ion elimination process, the potential damage of the exhaust gas to the external insulation of the circuit breaker is reduced.

[0029] Specifically, the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 is disposed at the lower part of the arc extinguishing chamber;

[0030] The ion elimination component 200 is arranged at the upper part of the arc extinguishing chamber;

[0031] The arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 and the deionization extinguishing assembly 200 are connected by snap-fitting to form a complete arc extinguishing chamber.

[0032] In summary, by adopting a structure in which the arc extinguishing grid component and the deionizing component are separately designed and connected by a snap-on method, the upper and lower parts can be assembled separately and then snap-fitted together, with high assembly efficiency. The gas outlet channel structure is in an inverted trumpet shape, which is conducive to one-step compression of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas entering the grid, so that the arc quickly enters the grid, and the arc is cut by the grid to achieve the effect of quickly extinguishing the arc. The insulating part on the upper part of the arc extinguishing chamber further cools and deionizes the metal vapor rushing out of the grid by adding gas-producing materials and multi-layer springs in the cavity, while releasing the pressure in the arc extinguishing chamber, it also forms a good filtering effect on the gas ejected from the arc extinguishing chamber, thereby preventing the insulation outside the circuit breaker from being damaged.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention, and this embodiment provides an arc extinguishing chamber of a universal circuit breaker, which includes an arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 and an ion elimination assembly 200. The arc extinguishing grid pieces in the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 can effectively cut and disperse the arc, increase the arc length, improve the resistance, and accelerate the arc extinction. The arc extinguishing grid pieces absorb part of the arc heat, reduce the arc temperature, and help to quickly extinguish the arc. The special structure of the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 can guide the high-temperature ionized gas to flow upward and enter the ion elimination assembly 200. The structural design in the ion elimination assembly 200 can quickly cool the high-temperature gas rising from the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100. Through special materials and structural design, the ion elimination assembly 200 can effectively absorb the metal vapor generated by the arc to prevent it from leaking. The ion elimination assembly 200 controls the gas discharge speed and direction, and safely releases the cooled gas while maintaining an appropriate internal pressure. Through an effective ion elimination process, the potential damage of the exhaust gas to the external insulation of the circuit breaker is reduced.

[0035] Specifically, the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 is disposed at the lower part of the arc extinguishing chamber;

[0036] The ion elimination component 200 is arranged at the upper part of the arc extinguishing chamber;

[0037] The arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 and the deionization extinguishing assembly 200 are connected by snap-fitting to form a complete arc extinguishing chamber.

[0038] Furthermore, the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 includes a plurality of groups of arc extinguishing grids 101, a left arc isolation wall 102 and a right arc isolation wall 103 arranged in parallel or at a certain angle, the arc extinguishing grids 101, the left arc isolation wall 102 and the right arc isolation wall 103 are arranged on both sides of the plurality of groups of arc extinguishing grids 101, and the left triangular insulating member 104 and the right triangular insulating member 105 are respectively arranged on the inner bottom of the left arc isolation wall 102 and the right arc isolation wall 103.

[0039] Furthermore, bosses are provided on both sides of the arc extinguishing grid 101, the left arc isolation wall 102 is provided with a first hole matching with the boss, and the right arc isolation wall 103 is provided with a second hole matching with the boss. The arc extinguishing grid 101, the left arc isolation wall 102 and the right arc isolation wall 103 are fixed into a whole by the boss, the first hole and the second hole and riveting.

[0040] Furthermore, the left triangular insulating member 104 and the right triangular insulating member 105 are respectively fixed to the left arc-isolating wall 102 and the right arc-isolating wall 103 by means of screw connections.

[0041] Furthermore, the airflow channel of the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 presents an inverted trumpet-shaped structure from bottom to top, which is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top. The left triangular insulating member 104 and the right triangular insulating member 105 constitute the bottom of the inverted trumpet-shaped structure.

[0042] Furthermore, the deionization component 200 includes an insulating member 201 as the outermost structure, a metal mesh plate 202, a metal mesh plate 202 arranged at the top end inside the insulating member 201, a multi-layer stacked spring 203 arranged below the metal mesh plate 202, and a gas production plate 204 covering the multi-layer stacked spring 203 and fixedly connected to the insulating member 201.

[0043] Furthermore, the gas production plate 204 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed gas outlet holes 204 a , and the diameter of the gas outlet holes 204 a is smaller than the wire diameter of the multi-layer stacked spring 203 .

[0044] Preferably, the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 and the deionization assembly 200 can be assembled separately and then connected together by snap-fitting to form a complete arc extinguishing chamber, thereby improving assembly efficiency. The inverted trumpet-shaped airflow channel design of the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 is conducive to compressing the high-temperature and high-pressure gas entering the grid, so that the arc quickly enters the grid and achieves the effect of quickly extinguishing the arc. The combined design of the multi-layer stacked spring 203 and the gas production plate 204 in the deionization assembly 200 can effectively cool and deionize the metal vapor rushing out of the grid, while ensuring the smooth passage of the gas.

[0045] Furthermore, the gas generating plate 204 is made of a gas generating material, which can release gas that is beneficial to cooling the metal vapor when it contacts the high-temperature and high-pressure metal vapor, and the gas generating material is a thermal decomposition type polymer material.

[0046] Furthermore, a first snap hole 102b is provided on the left arc isolation wall 102, a second snap hole 103b is provided on the right arc isolation wall 103, and a snap boss 201a that cooperates with both the first snap hole 102b and the second snap hole 103b is provided on the insulating member 201, and the first snap hole 102b and the second snap hole 103b form a snap connection with the snap boss 201a.

[0047] Furthermore, a sealed connection is formed between the left arc isolation wall 102 and the right arc isolation wall 103 and the insulating part 201, an electrical gap is maintained between the arc extinguishing grids 101 and they are arranged in an asymmetric V-shaped structure, the multi-layer stacked spring 203 is formed by multiple metal wires wound in a spiral manner, and the gas production plate 204 is fixedly connected to the insulating part 201 by screws.

[0048] It should be noted that appropriate electrical gaps should be maintained between the arc extinguishing grids 101, and they should be arranged in an asymmetric V-shaped structure to facilitate cutting and extinguishing of the arc. The diameter of the air outlet 204a on the gas production plate 204 should be smaller than the wire diameter of the multi-layer stacked spring 203 to ensure that the metal vapor can fully contact the gas production material. The gas production plate 204 is made of thermal decomposition type polymer material, which can release gas that is beneficial to cooling the metal vapor when it contacts high temperature and high pressure metal vapor. During the installation process, it should be ensured that a sealed connection is formed between the left arc isolation wall 102 and the right arc isolation wall 103 and the insulating part 201 of the ion elimination assembly 200 to prevent metal vapor leakage.

[0049] When in use, the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 is assembled, and the arc extinguishing grid pieces 101 are arranged in an asymmetric V-shaped structure, and the bosses on both sides correspond to the first hole on the left arc isolation wall 102 and the second hole on the right arc isolation wall 103. The arc extinguishing grid pieces 101, the left arc isolation wall 102 and the right arc isolation wall (103) are fixed into a whole by riveting. The left triangular insulating piece 104 and the right triangular insulating piece 105 are fixed to the inner bottom of the left arc isolation wall 102 and the right arc isolation wall 103 respectively by screws.

[0050] To assemble the deionization assembly 200, place the metal mesh plate 202 on the top of the insulating member (201), and place the multi-layer stacked springs 203 below the metal mesh plate 202. Cover the multi-layer stacked springs 203 with the gas production plate 204, and fix it to the insulating member 201 with screws.

[0051] To assemble the arc extinguishing chamber, align the first snap hole 102b on the left arc-isolating wall 102 and the second snap hole 103b on the right arc-isolating wall 103 of the arc-extinguishing grid assembly 100 with the snap boss 201a on the insulating member 201 of the quenching assembly 200. Press the two assemblies together so that the snap holes and snap bosses are fully engaged to form a firm connection. Ensure that a sealed connection is formed between the left arc-isolating wall 102 and the right arc-isolating wall 103 and the insulating member 201 to prevent metal vapor leakage.

[0052] Install the assembled arc extinguishing chamber at the designated position of the circuit breaker. When the circuit breaker is working normally, the arc extinguishing chamber is in standby state. When a short circuit or overload occurs, the contacts of the circuit breaker separate and an arc is generated. The arc enters the arc extinguishing grid assembly 100 and is cut and cooled by the arc extinguishing grid 101. The high-temperature and high-pressure metal vapor passes through the electrical gap of the arc extinguishing grid 101, the outlet holes 204a of the gas production plate 204, the winding gap of the multi-layer stacked spring 203 and the mesh of the metal mesh plate 202 in sequence. In this process, the metal vapor is gradually cooled, filtered and deionized. The gas production plate 204 releases gas that is conducive to cooling the metal vapor, further promoting the deionization process. Finally, the harmless gas is discharged from the top of the arc extinguishing chamber, completing the arc extinguishing process.

[0053] Check the appearance of the arc extinguishing chamber regularly to ensure that there is no obvious damage or deformation. Check whether the snap-in connection is firm and re-secure it if necessary. If the arc extinguishing grid 101 is found to be severely ablated or deformed, the entire arc extinguishing chamber should be replaced in time.

[0054] In summary, by adopting a structure in which the arc extinguishing grid component and the deionizing component are separately designed and connected by a snap-on method, the upper and lower parts can be assembled separately and then snap-fitted together, with high assembly efficiency. The gas outlet channel structure is in an inverted trumpet shape, which is conducive to one-step compression of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas entering the grid, so that the arc quickly enters the grid, and the arc is cut by the grid to achieve the effect of quickly extinguishing the arc. The insulating part on the upper part of the arc extinguishing chamber further cools and deionizes the metal vapor rushing out of the grid by adding gas-producing materials and multi-layer springs in the cavity, while releasing the pressure in the arc extinguishing chamber, it also forms a good filtering effect on the gas ejected from the arc extinguishing chamber, thereby preventing the insulation outside the circuit breaker from being damaged.
