However, before inserting the arc extinguishing grid 53, first rotate the manual wheel 55 to make the rotating shaft 56 rotate 90 degrees. The rotating shaft 56 will drive the convex block 57 to be horizontally arranged with the positioning groove 51, so that the arc extinguishing grid 53 can smoothly enter the limit slot 52. The inner side of the plurality of limit slots 52 is slidably connected with the arc extinguishing grid 53, and a through hole 54 is fixedly opened inside the arc extinguishing grid 53.

[0024] After the arc extinguishing grid 53 is fixed, rotate the manual wheel 55 again so that the rotating shaft 56 drives the convex block 57 to rotate reversely by ninety degrees. The convex block 57 can rotate and insert into the recess on the inner wall of the positioning groove 51 to lock the position of the lower arc extinguishing grid 53. The tops of multiple arc extinguishing grids 53 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 56. The outer walls of multiple rotating shafts 56 are fixedly connected with convex blocks 57. The tops of multiple rotating shafts 56 are fixedly connected with manual wheels 55. Multiple rotating shafts 56 are arranged inside the positioning groove 51.
