Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit protection devices, in particular to a load switch with an arc extinguishing chamber. Background Art
[0002] Load switch is a kind of switch between circuit breaker and isolating switch, which can cut off rated load current and certain overload current. It mainly adopts air-insulated load switch and composite-insulated load switch. The arc extinguishing chamber of air-insulated load switch is completely exposed to the air and insulated by air. The insulation method of composite-insulated load switch is to fix the arc extinguishing chamber in the shielding tube of epoxy resin. Composite-insulated load switch is usually used in medium and high voltage fields, but its structure is complex and the production cost is high.
[0003] Existing load switches usually include moving and static contacts, and usually do not have an arc extinguishing chamber, or a simple arc extinguishing chamber (such as a sleeve or a plastic part) is provided. When the load switch is disconnected, the contacts separate rapidly, causing the current to generate an arc between the contacts. The arc extinguishing device (such as an arc extinguishing grid or an arc extinguishing chamber) stretches and cools the arc to increase the resistance of the arc and reduce the current. When the arc is cooled to a sufficiently low temperature, its conductivity decreases and eventually disappears, and the load switch successfully cuts off the current. The key to this arc extinguishing process is to reduce the energy of the arc as quickly as possible and increase its resistance to prevent the arc from continuing to exist after the contacts are separated, thereby achieving safe and reliable current interruption. However, the existing arc extinguishing chamber is a simple sleeve with poor arc extinguishing performance and certain safety hazards. In addition, the existing moving contact is usually arc-shaped or linear, and it is usually achieved by rotation to close and open the switch. In order to ensure reliable disconnection, that is, to ensure the rotation distance of the contact, the existing load switch is large in size, which makes the product cost high and inconvenient to carry.
