Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of circuit breaker, specifically relates to an arc-extinguishing chamber ionization elimination structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the industrial low-voltage power system, the circuit breaker is an important component in the distribution network, used to distribute power, connect and disconnect the current in the power grid circuit and protect the line and power supply equipment from the damage of overload, under-voltage, short circuit, single-phase grounding and other faults, and is an important component of the power supply system.

[0003] When the circuit fails, the circuit breaker monitors that the current value exceeds the set predetermined protection current value, triggers the operating mechanism to act, and rapidly disconnects the moving and static contacts, thereby disconnecting the circuit. However, during the disconnecting process, the voltage and current values are too large, causing the moving and static contacts to generate arc during the disconnecting process, and the electric field is too strong, causing the internal gas of the circuit breaker to be highly ionized, generating a large amount of ionized metal ions. If these ionized metal particles fly out of the circuit breaker, they may cause short circuit and burning of the surrounding lines, thereby causing disaster.

[0004] In the prior art, the ionization elimination structure is directly combined by using a hole plate and a wire mesh, but this traditional structure has low heat exchange efficiency and serious arc flying. The high-speed hot fluid has a limited contact area with the wire mesh after passing through the hole plate, the effective heat exchange area is reduced, and the cooling effect is poor. In order to ensure zero arc flying, several layers of hole plates and wire meshes are often arranged, but too many hole plates and wire meshes will cause the gas pressure in the arc-extinguishing chamber to be too high, affecting the breaking performance of the circuit breaker product. In addition, the fluid in the cavity of the protective cover mainly flows out from both sides of the top cover, and the hot fluid cannot be fully cooled, which reduces the zero arc flying effect.
