[0018] Figure 2 It is a partial three-dimensional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the utility model.

[0019] Figure 3 It is a partial three-dimensional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the utility model.

[0020] Figure 4 It is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings: As shown in the figure, a circuit breaker with an arc-recoil protection structure includes a housing 1, wherein an action mechanism and an arc-extinguishing mechanism are arranged in the housing, wherein the arc-extinguishing mechanism includes an arc-extinguishing chamber 2, wherein an air outlet 12 is arranged through the housing, and further includes a baffle wall 11 arranged in the housing, wherein one side of the baffle wall is used to install a wiring frame, and the other side is arranged opposite to an air outlet groove 21 at the back of the arc-extinguishing chamber; an arc guide plate 3, wherein the arc guide plate is arranged between the baffle wall and the arc-extinguishing chamber, and the arc guide plate is used to guide the gas reflected back by the baffle wall to the air outlet. The gas in the arc-extinguishing chamber is reflected from the air outlet groove at the back of the arc-extinguishing chamber by the baffle wall. Due to the guidance of the arc guide plate, this part of the gas can be guided out of the housing. On the other hand, the back of the arc guide plate is also a smooth arc (which can be parallel to the front), and the gas in the arc-extinguishing chamber received by the back of the arc guide plate will also reach the air outlet channel with the guidance of the back.

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, an air outlet channel 13 is formed between the baffle wall and the inner wall of the bottom of the housing, one end of the arc guide plate is arranged opposite to the baffle wall, and the other end extends toward the air outlet channel. The surface of the arc guide plate is a smooth arc surface, which is conducive to arc guiding.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, there is a gap between the bottom of the arc guide plate and the bottom inner wall of the shell.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the arc guide plate is an arc-shaped plate structure.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the inner walls on both sides of the shell are provided with the arc guide plates, so as to better realize the gas guide structure.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, an upper guide plate 4 is also included, one end of which is close to the baffle wall and the other end extends toward the top end surface of the arc guide plate. The upper guide plate is also an arc-shaped structure, which can better guide the airflow to the arc guide plate.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, an empty slot 33 is provided between the upper guide plate and the arc guide plate. It is not closed and will not affect the discharge.

[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the shell includes a middle shell 101, a front shell 102 and a rear shell 103, the action mechanism is installed between the middle shell and the front shell, the reclosing mechanism is installed between the middle shell and the rear shell, the middle shell and the front shell are installed together by rivets 104, and the middle shell and the rear shell are connected by screws. The middle shell and the front shell are riveted and cannot be opened, mainly because the middle shell and the front shell are debugged (such as bimetallic lamps) and cannot be opened easily, otherwise there is no guarantee that the middle shell and the rear shell can be opened and the user can operate.
