[0070] The utility model arranges an arc isolation sleeve on the raised arc isolation baffle at the bottom side of the moving contact, so that when the moving contact and the static contact are repelled, the moving contact arc isolation baffle is laid on the cross section of the entire narrow slot channel from the arc extinguishing cavity where the arc is generated to the moving contact cavity, so as to prevent the arc from being ejected into the moving contact cavity, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit breaker.
[0071] In some specific embodiments, an arc-isolating mating boss 502 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove, and the arc-isolating baffle is curved in an arc shape about the rotation center of the moving contact 8, so that during the rotation of the moving contact 8, the top of the arc-isolating mating boss 502 is loosely matched with the bottom side of the arc-isolating baffle.
[0072] The arc baffle is arranged in an arc shape so as to maintain the cross-sectional coverage of the moving contact arc baffle in the narrow slot channel during the entire opening process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the entire opening process.

[0102] Example 1:
[0103] like Figure 1 The circuit breaker shown here has a bottom-feed configuration, including phases A, B, and C, and a rated voltage level of up to 1000V. It primarily increases gas pressure in the arc generation zone to prevent backward ejection of gas and arc, allowing the arc to quickly enter the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0104] This embodiment includes: a first arc isolation cover 1, a first half-hole plate 101, a first arc blocking wall 102, a first arc-shaped groove 103, a first baffle 104, a first rib 105, and a first side plate 106; a second arc isolation cover 2, a second half-hole plate 201, a second arc blocking wall 202, a second arc-shaped groove 103, a second baffle 204, a second rib 205, and a second side plate 206; a traction rod 3, an arc-shaped clamping plate 301; an arc isolation plate 4, a clamping boss 401; a base 5, a narrow slit channel 501, an arc isolation matching boss 502, U-shaped stepped hole 503, arc-blocking wall slot 504; middle sleeve 6, groove 601, first opening 602, second opening 603, third opening 604; moving contact arc-isolating baffle 7, bending plate 701; moving contact 8; arc-isolating limiter 9, arc-isolating limiter boss 901; plug 10, wedge-shaped block 1001; cover 11; rotating shaft 12, circular flange 1201; first shaft 13; arc-extinguishing chamber 15; arc-extinguishing cover 16; operating mechanism 17; rivet 18; tripper 19; second shaft 22.
[0105] This embodiment is implemented in the following ways: Figure 2 As shown, the moving contact arc isolation baffle 7 is sleeved on the moving contact 8 and fixed by rivets 18. Specifically, the moving contact arc isolation baffle 7 includes an arc isolation sleeve, which is arranged on both sides and the bottom side of the moving contact 8 and has a through hole. The side wall of the moving contact 8 has a mounting hole and is connected by a rivet 18 passing through the through hole and the mounting hole; the operating mechanism 17 is connected to the rotating shaft by a shaft 22, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 、 Figure 6As shown. The operating mechanism 17 can adopt the operating mechanism of the circuit breaker in the existing technology, such as CN219144097U, etc., which can realize the rotation of the moving contact 8 by the rotating shaft 12, and the closing and opening of the circuit breaker by the cooperation of the traction rod 3 and the release 19. Figure 2 As shown, the operating mechanism 17, tripper 19, first arc shielding cover 1, second arc shielding cover 2, arc shielding plate 4, rotating shaft 12 and moving contact 8 and other components are installed from the top of the base into the base. Finally, the second arc shielding wall 202 of the second arc shielding cover 2 is inserted into the arc shielding wall slot 504 of the base 5 to complete the assembly. The assembly process of the first arc shielding cover 1 and arc shielding plate 4 is the same. Then, the static contact, arc extinguishing chamber 15 and other components are installed in sequence. Figure 18 As shown, clamping bosses 401 are provided on both sides of the arc isolation plate 4. When the middle sleeve 6 assembled later is closed, the middle sleeve 6 will press the clamping bosses 401 to the top side of the phase partition, and will also press the upper planes of the first arc isolation cover 1 and the second arc isolation cover 2, thereby fixing the positions of the three arc isolation parts.
[0106] like Figure 19 As shown, the arc-isolating limiting member 9 includes a limiting member body, a limiting inclined plate provided on the limiting member body, and an arc-isolating limiting member boss 901 symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the limiting member body. Figure 11 As shown, a corresponding groove 505 is also formed on the B phase of the base 5; Figure 5 As shown, during installation, use the handle to operate the operating mechanism 17 to the re-engagement position, that is, the position away from the groove 505, and insert the arc limiting member boss 901 of the arc limiting member 9 into the groove 505 on the base 5. At this time, the limiting inclined plate tilts in the direction away from the operating mechanism 17. After the middle sleeve 6 is closed, the middle sleeve 6 will also press the arc limiting member 9 to complete the separation of the arc extinguishing chamber area and the operating mechanism area, and prevent the arc from directly spraying from the area above the base 5 to the operating mechanism 17. After all the internal parts are assembled, close the middle sleeve 6 and fix it with screws through the screw holes on the middle sleeve 6 and the base 5. Figure 12 As shown, accessory slots for installing accessories are left on both sides of the middle sleeve 6. The bottom of the accessory slot has a first opening 602, a second opening 603, and a third opening 604. The first opening 602 and the third opening 604 are used to leave space for the micro switch of the accessory. The rotating shaft 12 is provided with a rib feature 1202 extending in the axial direction (as shown in FIG. Figure 17 As shown), when the shaft 12 rotates, the rib feature 1202 rotates accordingly, so that the position information of the shaft 12 can be transmitted according to the position of the rib feature 1202; when the circuit breaker is equipped with accessories, the outer contour of the accessories can basically block the three openings. When the accessories are not equipped, as shown Figure 7 As shown, a plug 10 can be installed at the corresponding position. The outer contour of the plug 10 is basically the same as the outer contour of the accessory. Figure 16The plug 10 is provided with a wedge-shaped clamping block 1001, which is embedded in the middle sleeve 6 during assembly, and then the plug 10 is pressed on the top of the plug 10 by a small cover, and the plug 10 is fixed on the base 5 by screws. In actual use, if the voltage of the power distribution system is high and the expected fault current is large, another arc extinguishing cover 16 can be arranged Figure 1 The arc extinguishing cover 16 is shown, and the inside can be installed with arc extinguishing grid or metal mesh, etc., to help the circuit breaker to achieve reliable breaking.
[0107] Working principle:
[0108] Figure 6 is the closing schematic diagram of the circuit breaker in normal operation, Figure 8 is the schematic diagram of the circuit breaker breaking the fault current. When the fault current comes, the moving contact 8 is quickly repelled under the action of the electric repulsive force, and the moving contact arc separation baffle 7 sleeved thereon also rotates together. After the contact is repelled, an arc is generated. The arc is attracted into the arc extinguishing chamber 15 on one hand due to the magnetic action. On the other hand, the inside wall between the arc extinguishing chamber 15 and the moving contact cavity is provided with a plastic part to separate a narrow slit passage 501, and the end of the narrow slit passage 501 is blocked by the moving contact arc separation baffle 7, which can limit the backward arc spray. After the arc is generated, the temperature in the contact area rises sharply, which can cause the air pressure in the narrow area to rise rapidly. The high-pressure gas will quickly move towards the arc extinguishing chamber 15, and the arc will be blown towards the arc extinguishing chamber 15. The arc entering the arc extinguishing chamber 15 is cut and cooled by the grid, and most of the arc is extinguished. There is enough gap at the front end of the arc extinguishing chamber 15 as a buffer zone to reduce the gas pressure in the grid area. The high-pressure gas is discharged through the gas outlet after being buffered, and the whole gas flow movement channel is smooth, avoiding the back strike caused by the arc rebound. The arc that is not extinguished is sprayed out of the circuit breaker body and enters the arc extinguishing cover 16, where it is cooled and extinguished by the metal hole plate. The gas pressure is buffered again and gradually released, ensuring the reliability of breaking. The circuit breaker can quickly extinguish the arc and block the backward spray of the arc, thereby improving the interphase insulation capability of the circuit breaker.
[0109] The moving contact 8 and the rotating shaft 12 are both moving parts, so there must be enough gap between the structures that block the backward spray of the arc to ensure the reliability of movement, so part of the arc is still sprayed backward. As shown in Figure 8 A bent plate 701 is provided at the tail of the moving contact arc separation baffle 7, and a corresponding arc separation matching boss 502 is provided at the corresponding position of the bottom of each phase of the base 5. When the high-pressure gas with electric arc moves backward through the gap between the moving contact arc separation baffle 7 and the arc separation matching boss 502, it will hit the bent plate 701 and change the direction of movement, guiding the gas pressure shock wave to the bottom of the inner cavity of the base 5 with the highest insulation and strength, gradually slowing down the gas pressure impact, avoiding direct impact on the relatively weak area behind. This is also beneficial to improving the interphase insulation. Even if the moving contact 8 is not at the highest repelling position as shown, it is also effective.
[0110] As Figure 9 , 11 , 17 shown, the shaft 12 is symmetrical around the circular flange 1201, the base 5 on the corresponding position symmetrical U-shaped step hole 503, as Figure 14 , 15 , 28, 29 shown, the first arc cover 1 is provided with a first half hole plate 101, the second arc cover 2 is provided with a second half hole plate 201; after assembly, the symmetrical U-shaped step hole 503 and the first half hole plate 101, the second half hole plate 201 form two round holes, just the space required for the rotation of the shaft 12; to ensure the smooth movement of the shaft 12 in the closed round hole, the gap must be left between the shaft 12 and the round hole, and the lubricating grease is coated; while the circular flange 1201 on the shaft 12 can completely block the gap, increase the creepage distance and electrical clearance between any two phases of the circuit breaker, and at the same time can effectively block the arc to the adjacent phase, improve the interphase insulation capacity at the shaft.
[0111] As Figure 5 , 8 shown, the arc limiting member boss 901 of the arc limiting member 9 is inserted into the groove 505 on the base 5, and when the middle sleeve 6 is closed, the middle sleeve 6 will also press the arc limiting member 9, completing the separation of the arc chamber area and the operating mechanism area, blocking the arc from the area above the base directly to the operating mechanism 17; the arc limiting plate 4 is provided in front of the release 19, which can block the arc directly to the release 19. As Figure 13 shown, the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 is provided on the traction rod 3, and the center line of the outer arc surface is collinear with the rotation center line of the traction rod 3, as Figure 30 shown, the area corresponding to the middle sleeve 6 is provided with a recess 601; as Figure 5 , 14 , 15 shown, the first arc cover 1 is provided with a first arc-shaped clamping groove 103, and the second arc cover 2 is provided with a second arc-shaped clamping groove 203, which cooperates with the recess 601 to completely cover the arc-shaped clamping plate 301 on the traction rod 3, no matter where the traction rod 3 rotates in the stroke, it can effectively block the B-phase arc from the A and C phases, and at the same time increase the interphase creepage distance and improve the interphase insulation capacity.
[0112] Considering that the release area is in a high voltage holding and high temperature environment for a long time, the surrounding insulation parts age quickly, in order to ensure safety, compared with the existing circuit breaker, the safety margin of the insulation strength of the circuit breaker is increased. As Figure 5 , 14As shown in Figures 1 and 15, by adding a first baffle 104 to the rear of the first arc-isolating cover 1 and a second baffle 204 to the rear of the second arc-isolating cover 2, the baffles are positioned vertically between the corresponding phase partitions after the arc-isolating covers are assembled, thereby increasing the interphase creepage distance path by bypassing the first baffle 104 and the second baffle 204. Similarly, the first ribs 106 and the second ribs 206 protruding from the sides of the first arc-isolating cover 1 and the second arc-isolating cover 2 also strengthen the insulation between the operating mechanism 17 and the A and C phase conductive circuits. These structural designs can also prevent certain special situations. For example, if the operating mechanism 17 comes into contact with the B phase conductive circuit under certain special circumstances and becomes energized, this structure can also ensure the safety of the phase-to-phase insulation.
[0113] like Figure 7 As shown, the first arc blocking wall 102 of the first arc isolation cover 1 blocks the high-pressure gas with the arc, preventing the arc from spraying toward the trip unit area; Figure 10 As shown, the first arc isolation cover 1 also has an opening at a position corresponding to the first opening 602 of the middle sleeve 6, while the second opening 603 is completely blocked by the first arc isolation cover 1. The plug 10 can basically block the first opening 602, and only a small amount of arc escapes from here; Figure 28 As shown, a first rib 105 is provided on the first arc-isolating cover 1, which is in close contact with the outer wall of the concave accessory slot surrounding the first opening 602. This can block the arc escaping from the first opening 602 within the accessory slot of the middle sleeve 6. In this way, the trip unit area of phase C will not be affected by the backward spray of high-pressure gas carrying the arc. Similarly, on phase A, the second arc-blocking wall 202 of the second arc-isolating cover 2 blocks the high-pressure gas carrying the arc, preventing the arc from spraying toward the trip unit area. The second arc-isolating cover 2 is also provided with a second rib 205, which is in close contact with the outer wall of the concave accessory slot surrounding the third opening 604. This can block the arc escaping from the third opening 604 within the accessory slot of the middle sleeve 6. In this way, the trip unit area of phase A will not be affected by the backward spray of high-pressure gas carrying the arc.
[0114] Combined with the above analysis, it can be seen that in phase A, the second arc-isolating cover 2, the base 5, the middle sleeve 6, the plug 10 and the rotating shaft 12 together form a semi-sealed space, which limits the arc from being ejected toward phase B, backward, upward, etc.; in phase C, the first arc-isolating cover 1, the base 5, the middle sleeve 6, the plug 10 and the rotating shaft 12 together form a semi-sealed space, which limits the arc from being ejected toward phase B, backward, upward, etc.; this structural design allows more arcs to enter the arc extinguishing chamber faster.
[0115] Example 2:
[0116] A circuit breaker, which is different from the embodiment 1 only in that the first arc isolation cover 1 is configured as follows: Figure 21 The second arc shield 2 is configured as shown in FIG. Figure 22The shown molding, the rear side is not provided with the arc baffle, the arc baffle 4 becomes as shown in Figure 23 The shown baffle, additionally as shown in Figure 24 The shown cover 21, assembled as shown in Figure 25 The shown appearance, each phase is equipped with an arc baffle 4 and cover 21, the arc baffle 4 is used to replace the arc baffle, and the cover 21 is sleeved on the release 19, and the same function can be realized.
[0117] The scheme can also divide the circuit breaker into several grades with different performances to meet different market demands. Figure 26 As shown, without baffle 4 and cover 21, it can be used as a basic level, as shown in Figure 27 As shown, without cover 21, it can be used as a higher level.
