[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses an arc extinguishing structure, including: a housing 1. The housing 1 has a through hole, a moving contact 2 is movably arranged in the through hole, a stationary contact 3 is arranged in the housing 1, one end of the stationary contact 3 extends to the through hole and contacts the moving contact 2, an arc extinguishing hood 4 is arranged on the peripheral side of the through hole, and an exhaust hole 5 is opened on the outer wall of the housing 1, the exhaust hole 5 is connected to the arc extinguishing hood 4, and the exhaust hole 5 is suitable for discharging the airflow generated by the arc extinguishing hood 4 out of the housing 1.

[0026] Specifically, the middle of the housing 1 has a through hole, the moving contact 2 is movably arranged in the through hole, and the housing 1 is provided with a stationary contact 3. One end of the stationary contact 3 that cooperates with the moving contact 2 extends to one side of the through hole and is in the same plane as the inner side wall of the through hole. The moving contact 2 can move in the through hole to connect or disconnect with the stationary contact 3. Figure 1An arc extinguishing hood 4 is respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the middle through hole. An arc will be generated when the moving contact 2 is disconnected from the static contact 3, and the arc can be guided into the arc extinguishing hood 4. A gas producing plate is provided in the arc extinguishing hood 4. The high temperature of the arc can cause the gas producing plate to produce a large amount of gas and extinguish the arc. An exhaust hole 5 is provided on the outer wall of the shell 1. The exhaust hole 5 is connected to the end of the arc extinguishing hood 4 away from the moving contact 2. The gas in the arc extinguishing hood 4 can be discharged from the shell 1 through the exhaust hole 5, thereby preventing excessive gas from increasing the pressure inside the arc extinguishing hood 4, resulting in the occurrence of rupture of the arc extinguishing device shell 1 or seal failure.

[0027] Furthermore, the housing 1 has an air flow channel 6 therein, the air flow channel 6 is arranged between the exhaust hole 5 and the arc extinguishing hood 4, and the air flow channel 6 is communicated with the exhaust hole 5 and the arc extinguishing hood 4 respectively.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the air flow channel 6 is arranged on the side of the arc extinguishing hood 4 away from the moving contact 2, and the air flow channel 6 is connected with the exhaust hole 5 and the arc extinguishing hood 4 respectively. The gas in the arc extinguishing hood 4 first flows into the air flow channel 6 and then is discharged from the shell 1 through the exhaust hole 5, thereby preventing the gas from being discharged too quickly, resulting in a small amount of gas in the arc extinguishing hood 4 and being unable to extinguish the arc.

[0029] Furthermore, a concave baffle 7 is provided in the air flow channel 6, the groove of the concave baffle 7 faces the exhaust hole 5, and there is a gap between the convex parts on both sides of the concave baffle 7 and the inner wall of the shell 1. The airflow generated by the arc extinguishing of the arc extinguishing hood 4 is suitable to enter the groove of the concave baffle 7 through the gap and be discharged from the exhaust hole 5 to the shell 1.

[0030] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a concave baffle 7 is arranged in the airflow channel 6, the groove of the concave baffle 7 faces the exhaust hole 5, the side of the concave baffle 7 away from the groove is close to the arc extinguishing cover 4, and there is a gap between the convex parts on both sides of the concave baffle 7 and the inner wall of the shell 1 to form a channel. The gas in the airflow channel 6 enters the groove through the gap and then is discharged from the shell 1 from the exhaust hole 5. The concave baffle 7 mainly extends the path of the arc airflow to discharge from the shell 1, and reduces the airflow speed by increasing the complexity of the path, effectively utilizing the physical obstruction principle to achieve the purpose of eliminating the arc, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the entire system.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, one side of the concave baffle 7 has a wind guiding inclined surface 9.

[0032] Furthermore, retaining ribs 8 are provided on the inner wall of the shell 1 , and the retaining ribs 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the exhaust hole 5 .

[0033] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a baffle 8 is provided on both sides of the exhaust hole 5. The baffle 8 is used to control the airflow direction and provide resistance. The baffle 8 can cooperate with the concave baffle 7 to reduce the gas flow rate.

[0034] Furthermore, the concave baffle 7 and the housing 1 are injection molded.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a positioning hole 10. The housing 1 can be fixedly connected to other electrical components through the positioning hole 10.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] This embodiment provides an isolating switch, including: an arc extinguishing structure, and the arc extinguishing structure is the arc extinguishing structure described in the first embodiment.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
