Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of arc extinguishing chambers, in particular to a magnetic blowout arc extinguishing chamber. Background Art
[0002] The common method of arc extinguishing for circuit breakers is grid arc extinguishing. When the contacts of the circuit breaker are separated, the generated arc is pushed into a set of metal grids under the action of electric force and is divided into several sections. Each metal grid that is insulated from each other is equivalent to an electrode, so there are many positive and negative voltage drops. For AC arcs, near the cathode, when the arc passes through zero, a dielectric strength of 150V to 250V will appear, making the arc unable to continue to be maintained and extinguished. Since the grid extinguishing effect is much stronger than that of DC, AC appliances often use grid arc extinguishing.
[0003] However, the above method still cannot achieve a better arc extinguishing effect.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an improved technical solution to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.
[0026] Embodiment 1:
[0027] This embodiment provides a magnetic blowout arc extinguishing chamber, characterized by comprising:
[0028] A housing 1, wherein an opening is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 and an arc extinguishing cover 2 is provided at the top;
[0029] A plurality of grid sheets 3, wherein the plurality of grid sheets 3 are arranged in the housing 1;
[0030] Two strong magnets 4, the two strong magnets 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the opening of the shell 1;
[0031] Two magnet cover plates 5 are installed on the housing 1 , and a mounting cavity 6 for mounting the strong magnet 4 is provided between the magnet cover plates 5 and the housing 1 .
[0032] The shell 1 is a square box made of arc-extinguishing gas-producing material, with a cavity inside, and an opening is provided at the bottom of the shell 1, and an arc-extinguishing cover 2 is provided above the shell 1. The arc-extinguishing gas-producing material is usually a special material that can produce gas during the arc extinguishing process. The arc-extinguishing gas-producing material is usually composed of one or more chemical substances, which can produce a large amount of gas during the arc extinguishing process to extinguish the arc. These materials can react quickly, produce a large amount of gas, and quickly consume the energy of the arc, so that it loses the conditions for maintaining the arc, thereby achieving the purpose of arc extinguishing; Common arc-extinguishing gas-producing materials The material includes paraffin, and the shell 1 can also be made of plastic material with arc-extinguishing gas-generating material attached to the surface; a plurality of grids 3 arranged in parallel are installed in the shell 1, and the grids 3 are made of metal. When the contacts of the circuit breaker are separated, the generated arc is pushed into a group of metal grids 3 under the action of electric force and is divided into several sections. Each of the metal grids 3 insulated from each other is equivalent to an electrode, so there are many positive and negative voltage drops; for an AC arc, near the cathode, when the arc passes through zero, a dielectric strength of 150V to 250V will appear, making it impossible for the arc to continue to be maintained and extinguished.
[0033] A V-shaped notch is provided on the lower side of the grid 3, and the design of the V-shaped grid 3 helps to improve the arc extinguishing performance. In high-voltage switchgear, an arc is generated when the current is disconnected. By using the V-shaped grid 3, the arc can be extinguished more effectively, the energy of the arc can be reduced, and the reliability of the equipment can be increased. The V-shaped grid 3 can better control the electric field distribution, which helps to guide the arc so that it is concentrated on the V-shaped grid 3. This helps to reduce the impact of the arc on the surrounding of the equipment and improve the tolerance of the equipment. The design of the V-shaped grid 3 helps to improve thermal stability. During the arc extinguishing process, the high temperature generated by the arc needs to be effectively handled. The shape of the V-shaped grid 3 can help disperse the heat and reduce the thermal shock to the equipment. The design of the V-shaped grid 3 can reduce the possibility of arc strikeback. Arc strikeback refers to the phenomenon that the arc rebounds back to the equipment during the arc extinguishing process. The design of the V-shaped grid 3 can reduce the possibility of such rebound. The V-shaped grid 3 can shorten the distance the arc moves. This is crucial to increase the arc extinguishing speed and reduce the arc duration, thereby protecting the equipment from damage by the arc.
[0034] Two strong magnets 4, the two strong magnets 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the opening of the shell 1;
[0035] Two magnet cover plates 5 are installed on the housing 1 , and a mounting cavity 6 for mounting the strong magnet 4 is provided between the magnet cover plates 5 and the housing 1 .
[0036] The magnet cover plate 5 is also made of a gas generating material or the surface is covered with a gas generating material.
[0037] The magnet cover plate 5 is fitted on the inner wall of the lower end of the housing 1, and a mounting cavity 6 for accommodating the strong magnet 4 is provided on the end surface where the magnet cover plate 5 and the inner wall of the housing 1 are fitted. The strong magnet 4 is first installed in the mounting cavity 6, and then the magnet cover plate 5 is installed on the inner wall of the lower end of the housing 1 by gluing. The magnet uses a strong magnet 4 with strong magnetism to meet the magnetic force requirements of magnetic blowout. Magnetic blowout is an arc extinguishing technology for disconnecting high current circuits. It is a method of blowing out the arc through the magnetic field force generated by the current at the moment of current interruption. To ensure that the arc is quickly extinguished when the circuit is disconnected to prevent the arc from causing damage to the equipment and system.
[0038] The principle of magnetic blowout is based on the Lorentz force, that is, when current passes through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around it. When the current is cut off, the magnetic field generated causes a magnetic force, which can be used to separate the arc from the electrode and blow it out. The magnetic field generates a Lorentz force, which acts on the arc and blows it out quickly. This prevents the arc from continuing to exist when the circuit is disconnected, thereby reducing the damage to the equipment caused by the arc and increasing the life of the equipment; magnetic blowout can quickly extinguish the arc, has high reliability and good protection effect on the equipment.
[0039] The strong magnet 4 is fixedly installed in the magnet cover plate 5, the installation structure is stable, and the strong magnet 4 is used in combination with the gas-generating material. The strong magnet 4 attracts the arc, and the arc reacts with the gas-generating material to achieve faster arc extinguishing.
