[0021] Embodiment 1: This embodiment is intended to promote the solution of the problem that when a circuit breaker opens a circuit, an arc is generated when the current is interrupted. This arc needs to be extinguished quickly to prevent the arc from continuing to exist and causing damage to equipment or injury to personnel. The arc is usually struck by a movable contact contacting a plurality of arc striking pieces, and the plurality of arc striking pieces are used to increase the distance between the arcs so that they are extinguished. However, this method is relatively simple in the way of extinguishing the arc and has a low practicality. Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 A double-acting arc extinguishing chamber with an energy storage device includes a support platform 110, an arc extinguishing cover 120 is symmetrically installed on the upper side of the support platform 110, an arc-striking piece 130 for separating the arc is installed inside the arc extinguishing cover 120, a gas component 140 is installed inside the arc extinguishing cover 120, a support seat 150 is installed on the upper side of the support platform 110, a movable contact 160 is movably hinged inside the support seat 150, the movable contact 160 is movably contacted with the arc-striking piece 130, and a motor 230 is arranged on the side of the support seat 150, and the motor 230 can drive the movable contact 160 to rotate.

[0022] A plurality of arc-striking pieces 130 are provided, and the plurality of arc-striking pieces 130 are linearly arranged inside the arc-extinguishing cover 120. The arc-striking pieces 130 are provided as steel sheets, and partition plates 170 are symmetrically installed on the bottom sides of the plurality of arc-striking pieces 130. The gas-generating piece 140 is installed between two partition plates 170. Through the arrangement of the partition plates 170, a gas storage cavity 180 is separated between each layer of arc-striking pieces 130. The gas-generating piece 140 is provided as a gas-generating material, and the gas-generating material is a common material, such as "thermal expansion agent, chemical gas generating agent, solid arc-extinguishing agent, etc. These substances will decompose to generate arc-extinguishing gas when an arc is generated. Common solid arc-extinguishing agents include borates, boric acid esters, calcium silicates, etc."

[0023] A point seat 210 is installed on the front side of the arc extinguishing cover 120, and the movable contact 160 is in active contact with the point seat 210. Two support seats 150 are provided. The arc extinguishing cover 120 has symmetrical mounting holes 220 on its side, and the arc striking piece 130 has symmetrically mounted protrusions 221 on its side, which engage with the mounting holes 220.

[0024] The partition plate 170 is integrated with the arc-striking piece 130 . When the arc-striking piece 130 is contacted by the arc, the gas element 140 installed between the two partition plates 170 generates gas.

[0025] In the present embodiment: when in use, the arc is elongated and thus isolated by the cooperation between the movable contact 160 and a plurality of arc-striking pieces 130. At the same time, a partition plate 170 is provided between the arc-striking pieces 130, and a gas component 140 is installed between the partition plates 170. When the gas component 140 is eroded by the arc, a large amount of gas is generated, which increases the pressure inside the gas storage cavity 180, thereby forming a pressure difference with the outside, so that the internal gas exerts pressure on the sealing piece 190, so that the gas inside the gas storage cavity 180 extinguishes the isolated arc. The present solution has a simple structure and is easy to operate. By cooperating with the gas component 140 and the partition plate 170, the gas generated by the gas component 140 is stored, and the generated gas extinguishes the arc. Using the stored gas to extinguish the arc can ensure the stability and reliability of the arc extinguishing process, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the electrical equipment, while reducing energy consumption.

When there is a discrepancy between the pressure between the gas inside the gas storage cavity 180 and the external gas, the sealing sheet 190 is subjected to pressure, and several elastic sheets unfold and form through holes for air flow to pass through, thereby blowing out the arc.
