For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The latest low-voltage electrical appliance industry standard development plan requires the development of low-voltage electrical appliances to AC2000V and DC3000V. The existing DC1500V low-voltage switch products can no longer meet market requirements and need to be updated. As an important component of the low-voltage switch, the arc extinguishing chamber is used to extinguish the arc generated by the disconnection of the moving contact and the static contact. The arc extinguishing structure of the conventional low-voltage switch generally uses an arc extinguishing chamber structure composed of multiple grids arranged in parallel or radially to extinguish the arc. At present, the method of increasing the grid is generally used to increase the breaking arc voltage. Due to the limited space in the direction of contact opening, it is difficult to increase the number of arc extinguishing grids, making how to further increase the arc breaking voltage of the arc extinguishing chamber a technical bottleneck for DC high-voltage arc extinguishing.

[0035] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a hybrid arc extinguishing chamber 100 and a low-voltage switch.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a hybrid arc extinguishing chamber 100, including a grid arc extinguishing assembly 102 and a magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 which are arranged in cooperation with a contact assembly 101; the grid arc extinguishing assembly 102 and the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 are arranged along a movement path 105 of a moving contact 104 in the contact assembly 101; lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 are arranged on both sides of a movement plane 106 of the moving contact 104, and the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 extend along the movement path 105; the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 and the surface of the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 form a cavity, and the cavity extends along the movement path 105 of the moving contact 104 in the contact assembly 101; the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 is used to make the arc at the contact assembly 101 enter the cavity and deflect toward the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 through a magnetic field.

[0037] in, Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows the arc movement path 116 in the hybrid arc extinguishing chamber 100 according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0038] It should be noted that the hybrid arc extinguishing chamber 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application sets the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 on both sides of the moving contact 104 movement plane 106, that is, when the moving contact 104 moves to the position where the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 is located, the moving contact 104 moves between the two lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107. The force exerted on the arc by the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 can cause the arc to transfer to the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 on one side. Specifically, according to the left-hand rule, the magnetic field direction of the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 can be set in combination with the flow direction of the arc current, so that the Ampere force acting on the arc can point to the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 on one side of the movement plane 106.

[0039] For example, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the current direction is perpendicular to the paper and outward, the force generated by the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 is directed to the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 on the first side, so that the arc is transferred to this side. When the current direction is perpendicular to the paper and inward, the force generated by the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 is directed to the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 on the second side, so that the arc is transferred to this side.

[0040] The embodiment of the present application provides a hybrid arc extinguishing chamber 100, including a grid arc extinguishing assembly 102 and a magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 arranged in cooperation with a contact assembly 101; in the embodiment of the present application, the grid arc extinguishing assembly 102 and the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 are arranged along the movement path 105 of the moving contact 104 in the contact assembly 101, so that the moving contact 104 can pass through the grid arc extinguishing assembly 102 and the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 in sequence during movement, thereby achieving a mixed arc extinguishing effect. In the embodiment of the present application, lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 are arranged on both sides of the moving plane 106 of the moving contact 104, and the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 extend along the movement path 105; the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 is used to deflect the arc at the contact assembly 101 toward the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 through a magnetic field. Since the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 of the embodiment of the present application extend along the movement path 105, the length of the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 is elongated and overlaps with the movement path 105 of the moving contact 104. The moving contact 104 passes between the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 on both sides during the closing or opening movement, and the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 causes the arc generated at the moving contact 104 to be subjected to a force directed toward the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 through the magnetic field, so that the arc on the moving contact 104 is transferred to the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 on one side of the moving plane 106. The lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 of the embodiment of the present application is long, so that the arc can be effectively transferred to the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 for arc extinguishing.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, as an optional embodiment, gas producing parts 108 extending along the moving path 105 are arranged on both sides of the moving plane 106, and lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 are arranged on the gas producing parts 108 and open toward the moving plane 106. The lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 and the surface of the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 form a cavity, and the cavity extends along the moving path 105 of the moving contact 104 in the contact assembly 101.

[0042] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, gas-producing parts 108 are also provided on both sides of the moving plane 106, and lateral arc-extinguishing grooves 107 are provided on the gas-producing parts 108. In the embodiment of the present application, the gas-producing parts 108 are provided along the moving path 105 of the moving contact 104, and when the lateral arc-extinguishing grooves 107 are provided on the gas-producing parts 108, the lateral arc-extinguishing grooves 107 can be extended along the moving path 105. In the embodiment of the present application, the force generated by the magnetic arc-extinguishing assembly 103 can make the arc enter the lateral arc-extinguishing grooves 107 on the gas-producing parts 108, thereby greatly improving the arc-extinguishing effect of gas blowing.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 As shown, as an optional implementation, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 109 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 are provided in the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107; the arrangement direction of the reinforcing ribs 109 intersects with the extension direction of the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107.

[0044] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, a plurality of spaced reinforcing ribs 109 are arranged in the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107. The arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 109 can enhance the structural strength of the gas producing part 108, improve the structural stability of the gas producing part 108, and ensure that the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 on the gas producing part 108 can reliably act on the arc. In addition, the reinforcing ribs 109 intersect with the moving path 105 of the moving contact 104, and can stretch the arc in the lateral direction, further enhancing the arc extinguishing effect.

[0045] As an optional implementation, the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 includes at least one permanent magnet disposed between the gas producing parts 108 .

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the magnetic arc extinguishing component 103 is at least one permanent magnet disposed between the gas producing parts 108. It should be noted that when there are multiple permanent magnets, the multiple permanent magnets are arranged along the moving path 105 of the moving contact 104. The number of permanent magnets can be set by technicians in this field as needed, and no special limitation is made here.

[0047] Reference Figure 5As shown, as an optional embodiment, the permanent magnet includes a first permanent magnet 110 and a second permanent magnet 111; the force applied by the first permanent magnet 110 to the arc is smaller than the force applied by the second permanent magnet 111 to the arc; the grid arc extinguishing assembly 102, the first permanent magnet 110 and the second permanent magnet 111 are arranged in sequence along the movement path 105.

[0048] Furthermore, the permanent magnet of the embodiment of the present application includes a first permanent magnet 110 and a second permanent magnet 111. The volume of the first permanent magnet 110 is smaller than that of the second permanent magnet 111, and the first permanent magnet 110 is close to the grid arc extinguishing assembly 102. Since the force generated by the first permanent magnet 110 is small, the arc can be guided to enter from one end of the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107, so that the arc can approach the larger second permanent magnet 111 along the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107, so as to generate a stronger magnetic blowing force for arc extinguishing.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, as an optional implementation, a transition grid 112 is provided between the grid arc extinguishing assembly 102 and the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 , and the transition grid 112 is used to transfer the arc to both sides of the moving plane 106 .

[0050] Reference Figure 6 As shown, as an optional embodiment, the transition grid 112 includes an arc transfer portion 113; the arc transfer portion 113 is used to guide the arc to the middle of the cavity, and the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 deflects the arc in the middle of the cavity toward the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 through the magnetic field.

[0051] Furthermore, side tips 114 are provided on both sides of the arc transfer portion 113 ; the side tips 114 are symmetrical about the movement plane 106 ; the two side tips 114 are respectively located in the two lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 , and are used to guide the arc into the lateral arc extinguishing grooves 107 .

[0052] The embodiment of the present application can guide the arc to one side of the moving plane 106 of the moving contact 104 through the force generated by the transition grid 112 combined with the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103, and perform tip discharge through the side tip 114, so that the arc can effectively enter the lateral arc extinguishing groove 107 on the gas producing part 108, further improving the arc extinguishing effect of the hybrid arc extinguishing chamber 100.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 As shown, as an optional embodiment, a magnetizing block 115 for enhancing the magnetic field is provided on the gas generating member 108. The gas generating member 108 has a groove on one side away from the moving plane 106, and the magnetizing block 115 is installed in the groove of the gas generating member 108.

[0054] The embodiment of the present application can enhance the magnetic field of the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 by setting a magnetizing block 115 on the gas producing component 108, so that the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 can form a stronger force, further improving the arc extinguishing effect of the hybrid arc extinguishing chamber 100.

[0055] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the grid arc extinguishing assembly 102 is close to the closing position of the contact assembly 101; or, the magnetic arc extinguishing assembly 103 is close to the closing position of the contact assembly 101.
