[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Circuit breaker arc-extinguishing chamber, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the system includes a base 1, with two fixed outer shells 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1. Several protective covers 5 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the base 1 between the two fixed outer shells 2. A protective mechanism is provided above each of the two fixed outer shells 2. Two fixed rings 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base 1. A bent tube 6 is inserted into the two fixed rings 19, and the two bent tubes 6 are fixedly connected to the base 1. A cavity 16 is opened inside the base 1. The protective mechanism includes a horizontal plate 4 and two slots 12. The horizontal plate 4 is located above the fixed outer shells 2. Several protective covers 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the horizontal plate 4, and the several protective covers 5 are evenly distributed.

[0030] Two slots 12 are respectively opened on the upper surface of the fixed housing 2 and near the sides. Connecting plates 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 4 and near both ends. The two inner side walls of the slots 12 are provided with slots 13. Connecting strips 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 9. V-shaped spring pieces 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting strips 10. The two outer side walls of the V-shaped spring pieces 11 are fixedly connected with locking blocks 14, and the locking blocks 14 fit into the slots 13. Under the action of the rebound force of the V-shaped spring pieces 11, the locking blocks 14 can be driven into the slots 13, thereby fixing the position of the connecting plate 9 in the slots 12.

[0031] In use, the two connecting plates 9 mounted on the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 4 are respectively inserted into the two slots 12 opened on the fixed housing 2. The protective covers 5 connected to the horizontal plate 4 are then sequentially fitted onto the ends of the arc-extinguishing plates 3. The V-shaped spring pieces 11 connected by the connecting strip 10 are inserted into the slots 12 along with the connecting plates 9. The two locking blocks 14 mounted on the V-shaped spring pieces 11 move with the V-shaped spring pieces 11. The inclined surfaces of the locking blocks 14 move down along the inner wall of the slot 12, causing one end of the V-shaped spring piece 11 to deform and move closer to the connecting strip 10. Both ends of the entire V-shaped spring piece 11 are bent inwards. When the locking blocks 14 move to one side of the slot 13, the rebound force of the V-shaped spring piece 11 can drive the locking blocks 14 into the slot 13. Within 3, the position of the connecting plate 9 is fixed in the slot 12, thereby fixing the position of the horizontal plate 4, so that each protective cover 5 connected on the horizontal plate 4 is fixed to the end of the arc extinguishing plate 3, protecting the end of the arc extinguishing plate 3, preventing the end of the arc extinguishing plate 3 from being easily damaged during arc extinguishing, improving service life, and the arc extinguishing plate 3 is made of gas-generating material, which can increase the gas generation when the subsequent arc passes by, improving the arc extinguishing effect. When the protective cover 5 is damaged, the horizontal plate 4 is pulled away from the fixed outer shell 2 in the same way, which can also make the locking block 14 move out of the slot 13, releasing the fixation of the connecting plate 9, thereby driving each protective cover 5 to move out, realizing convenient replacement of the protective cover 5, and ensuring the protective effect on the end of the arc extinguishing plate 3;

[0032] The electric arc generated when the circuit breaker is disconnected can be diffused and eliminated by the arc-extinguishing plate 3 in the arc-extinguishing chamber.

[0033] Several exhaust pipes 15 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the base 1. Two reinforcing plates 17 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the exhaust pipes 15, and the two reinforcing plates 17 are fixedly connected to two arc extinguishing plates 3 respectively. The two reinforcing plates 17 can support and reinforce the position between the two arc extinguishing plates 3, making the position of each arc extinguishing plate 3 more stable.

[0034] A one-way valve 23 is installed on the outer wall of the bend 6. A telescopic connecting pipe 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the bend 6. A short pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic connecting pipe 7 away from the bend 6. A connecting ring 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bend 6 and inside the fixing ring 19. Several fixing holes 22 are opened on the outer wall of the connecting ring 18. A fixing plate 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring 19. Fixing nails 21 are inserted into the outer wall of the fixing plate 20, and the fixing nails 21 fit into the fixing holes 22. By passing the fixing nails 21 through the fixing plate 20 and inserting them into the corresponding fixing holes 22, the position between the connecting ring 18 and the fixing ring 19 can be fixed.

[0035] Specifically, opening the one-way valve 23 allows the bend 6 to connect to the cavity 16 inside the base 1, enabling excess air generated during arc extinguishing within the arc-extinguishing chamber to be discharged into the cavity 16 through the reinforcing plates 17, and then discharged through the bend 6, the telescopic connecting pipe 7, and the short pipe 8. Pulling the fixing pin 21 from the fixing plate 20 releases the fixing of the connecting ring 18. At this point, the connecting ring 18 can be rotated, causing the bend 6 to rotate, thereby adjusting the orientation of the telescopic connecting pipe 7 and the short pipe 8 connected to the bend 6 to meet the exhaust requirements of different positions. After adjustment, inserting the fixing pin 21 through the fixing plate 20 into the corresponding fixing hole 22 re-fixes the position of the connecting ring 18, thereby fixing the orientation of the bend 6, the telescopic connecting pipe 7, and the short pipe 8. Furthermore, by stretching the telescopic connecting pipe 7, the short pipe 8 can be moved to adjust the exhaust requirements of different positions.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
