[0034] As Figure 1-7 It is a schematic structural diagram of a modular assembled DC frame circuit breaker in a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. In this embodiment, a modular assembled DC frame circuit breaker includes a left side plate 2 and a right side plate 1. A face mask 4 is connected to the front ends of the left side plate 2 and the right side plate 1, and a protective cover plate 5 is connected to the rear ends of the left side plate 2 and the right side plate 1. A housing 3 is connected above the left side plate 2 and the right side plate 1. An installation cavity 6 is formed between the face mask 4, the protective cover plate 5, the left side plate 2, and the right side plate 1. An operation cavity 7 is opened in the face mask 4, and the operation cavity 7 communicates with the installation cavity 6. By installing multiple sets of opening and closing units 8 in the installation cavity 6, DC arc extinguishing and breaking are realized. Designed as a modular assembled structure, it not only reduces the overall mold cost of the frame circuit breaker but also facilitates the realization of multi-pole assembly, with better practicability. An arc extinguishing chamber 61 is provided above the installation cavity 6, and the opening and closing unit 8 includes a moving contact system 62, an electromagnetic tripping device 63, an operating mechanism 71, and a static contact assembly 64. The moving contact system 62 is arranged directly below the arc extinguishing chamber 61 in the installation cavity 6. The static contact assembly 64 is installed on the inner wall surface of the protective cover plate 5 between the moving contact system 62 and the arc extinguishing chamber 61. The operating mechanism 71 is arranged in the operation cavity 7. The electromagnetic tripping device 63 is arranged below the moving contact system 62 in the installation cavity 6, and one end of the electromagnetic tripping device 63 is connected to the operating mechanism 71 through a tripping transmission rod 65, and the other end of the electromagnetic tripping device 63 is connected to the inner wall surface of the protective cover plate 5. The moving contact system 62 is rotated through the operating mechanism 71 to contact the surface of the static contact assembly 64.

[0035] In this embodiment, the arc extinguishing chamber 61 includes an insulating member 611, an arc extinguishing cover 612, and arc extinguishing grid plates 614.
