AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing circuit breakers fail to disconnect the neutral pole in time when the circuit is short-circuited or overloaded, posing a safety hazard and having insufficient arc-extinguishing capability.

Method used

A non-circuit arc extinguishing structure for circuit breakers is designed, which adopts a curved non-circuit arc igniter, including a connecting part, a bending part and an extension part. By optimizing the guidance of the arc, the arc enters the arc extinguishing chamber in advance during the non-circuit breaking process, thereby enhancing the arc extinguishing efficiency.

Benefits of technology

This improves the arc extinguishing efficiency of the N pole of the circuit breaker, ensuring that the arc is guided into the arc extinguishing chamber before the contacts are fully open, thus enhancing safety and arc extinguishing capability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switchgear technology, and in particular to an arc-extinguishing structure for the N-pole of a circuit breaker. Background Technology

[0002] In a single-phase circuit, the neutral current is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the phase current. When a short circuit or overload occurs, the protective electrode (P-terminal) will quickly disconnect the circuit to prevent the fault from escalating.

[0003] However, existing circuit breakers only disconnect the P pole quickly, while the N pole does not, which poses a potential safety hazard and could easily lead to accidents due to the N pole not disconnecting; moreover, existing circuit breakers generally have limited arc-extinguishing capabilities and are prone to problems when disconnecting. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an arc-extinguishing structure for the N-pole of a circuit breaker.

[0005] This invention has the advantage of relatively higher arc extinguishing efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An N-pole arc-extinguishing structure for a circuit breaker, comprising a base plate, a handle disposed within the base plate, a moving contact structure disposed within the base plate and linked to the handle, and a stationary contact structure disposed within the base plate corresponding to the moving contact structure; the base plate is provided with an arc-extinguishing chamber corresponding to the stationary contact structure; the stationary contact structure includes an N-pole arc-extinguishing cover, an N-pole arc-inducing plate disposed at the front end of the N-pole arc-extinguishing cover, and an N-pole stationary contact plate disposed at the rear end of the N-pole arc-extinguishing cover; the front end of the N-pole arc-inducing plate is connected to an N-pole terminal block; the N-pole stationary contact plate is provided with silver dots; the N-pole arc-inducing plate has a curved structure, including a connecting part, a bending part, and an extension part; the connecting part is connected to the N-pole arc-extinguishing cover, the bending part corresponds to the N-pole stationary contact plate, and the extension part is connected to the N-pole terminal block; the distance between the bending part and the N-pole stationary contact plate is less than the opening distance between the moving contact structure and the stationary contact structure.

[0007] In the aforementioned N-pole arc extinguishing structure for a circuit breaker, the handle is connected to the moving contact structure via a U-bolt.

[0008] In the aforementioned N-pole arc extinguishing structure for a circuit breaker, the moving contact structure includes a contact seat, a trip latch rotatably sleeved on the contact seat, and a moving contact rotatably sleeved on the contact seat.

[0009] In the aforementioned N-pole arc extinguishing structure for circuit breakers, the trip latch is rotatably connected to the contact seat via a thick shaft, and a flying wire spring that is linked to the contact seat is sleeved on the trip latch.

[0010] In the aforementioned N-pole arc extinguishing structure for circuit breakers, the moving contact is connected to the trip latch via a contact spring.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model sets up an N-pole arc igniter, which has a curved structure including a connecting part, a bending part and an extension part. Through the forward bending design, the arc ignition distance is effectively increased and the arc guidance is optimized, ensuring that the arc can enter the arc extinguishing chamber smoothly and efficiently.

[0012] The N-pole arc-starting plate adopts a curved structure, forming the shortest distance between it and the N-pole stationary contact plate. This distance is slightly smaller than the opening distance between the moving contact and the N-pole stationary contact plate. This structural design helps to guide the arc into the arc-extinguishing chamber in advance when the N-pole is performing a breaking operation, before the contact is fully opened, thereby enhancing the arc-extinguishing efficiency of the N-pole.

[0013] Therefore, this invention has the advantage of relatively higher arc extinguishing efficiency. Attached Figure Description
