DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] Clearly, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0022] Low-voltage switchgear products are applied in windy and sandy environment, and the wind and sand can enter the arc-extinguishing chamber through the exhaust port, and even enter the contact system, which seriously affects the normal operation of the product. The common solution is to directly add a cover outside the arc-extinguishing chamber, but it is easy to affect the exhaust function of the arc-extinguishing chamber.

[0023] The embodiment provides a technical scheme: the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 disclosed by the scheme comprises an arc-extinguishing cover top plate 21, an arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 and an arc-extinguishing cover side plate 23, the arc-extinguishing cover top plate 21, the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 and the arc-extinguishing cover side plate 23 form a semi-open cover body with an open bottom and front part, the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 is opposite to and closes the exhaust hole 121 at the rear side of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 and is turned over to the rear side when the exhaust hole 121 at the rear side exhausts, so that the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 is away from the exhaust hole 121 at the rear side of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1. The turning over can be rigid turning over or flexible turning over, the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 can use a rigid material such as plastic, a rotating shaft hole is arranged at both ends of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 and a shaft-shaped feature is arranged on the inner side of the arc-extinguishing cover side plate 23 and is loaded into the shaft hole to achieve the purpose of rigid turning over, and a reset device such as a torsional spring can be additionally arranged at the shaft, so that the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 can be automatically reset after exhaust, but the structure is slightly complex, and the embodiment adopts a flexible turning over mode, that is, the cover body adopts a flexible material, and the turning over to the rear side is flexible turning over. The flexible material in the embodiment adopts relatively soft rubber, and other suitable flexible materials such as silica gel can also be adopted. The structure has the wind and sand prevention function and smooth exhaust.

[0024] The lower end of the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 in the embodiment is provided with a screw hole 222 corresponding to the lower end of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, and four screws 3 can be used to fix one end of the wind and sand prevention cover 2, that is, the lower end of the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 at the lower end position of the arc-extinguishing chamber, so that the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 can be turned over around the lower end of the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22. In addition to the screw fixing mode, other suitable modes such as clamping or gluing can also be used to install the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2.

[0025] In order to make the gas exhaust more smooth, the upper side of the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 in the embodiment is provided with a plurality of vertical support features 221, so that a certain gap is left between the arc-extinguishing cover back plate 22 and the rear exhaust port of the arc-extinguishing chamber 2, and the gas can slightly uniformly push the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 as a whole.

[0026] In order to make the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 more fit the low-voltage switchgear body and better seal the gap, the embodiment is further provided with horizontal plug joint ribs 223 corresponding to the lower end gap of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 at the position where the arc-extinguishing chamber back plate 22 is connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber side plate 23, and is further provided with a plurality of longitudinal plug joint ribs 224 corresponding to the lower end gap of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 at the lower end of the arc-extinguishing chamber back plate 22. After the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 is installed, these plug joint ribs can block the corresponding gap of the low-voltage switchgear body.

[0027] In order to make the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 more fit the low-voltage switchgear body and better seal the gap, the embodiment is further provided with horizontal plug joint ribs 223 corresponding to the lower end gap of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 at the position where the arc-extinguishing chamber back plate 22 is connected to the arc-extinguishing chamber side plate 23, and is further provided with a plurality of longitudinal plug joint ribs 224 corresponding to the lower end gap of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 at the lower end of the arc-extinguishing chamber back plate 22. After the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 is installed, these plug joint ribs can block the corresponding gap of the low-voltage switchgear body.

[0028] Based on the same inventive concept, the application further discloses a low-voltage switchgear embodiment. The low-voltage switchgear can be a disconnector or a circuit breaker with a controller, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the embodiment is a universal circuit breaker, which comprises an arc-extinguishing chamber 1 arranged at the top, a rear exhaust hole 121 arranged on the arc-extinguishing chamber back plate 12 of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, and the aforementioned sand-proof arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2. The arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 is sleeved on the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 and the inner side of the arc-extinguishing chamber back plate 22 faces and closes the rear exhaust hole 121 of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1, and is turned over to the rear side when the rear exhaust hole 121 of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 exhausts. Different-pole circuit breakers have slightly different exhaust holes 121. For example, a four-pole circuit breaker is provided with a lateral exhaust hole 121, and a three-pole circuit breaker is provided with upward and lateral exhaust holes 121. The lateral exhaust hole 121 can be used for exhaust or as a handle, serving as a hanging point of a lifting hook. Since the upward and lateral exhaust holes 121 are also subjected to sand and wind, the arc-extinguishing chamber top plate 21 and the arc-extinguishing chamber side plate 23 of the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 of the embodiment completely cover the exhaust holes 121 of the arc-extinguishing chamber top plate 11 and the arc-extinguishing chamber side plate 13 after installation.

[0029] During installation, the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 is sleeved on the product arc-extinguishing chamber 1 from the top, and then is fixed on the product through a plurality of rear screws 3, which is simple and convenient. During work, the sand-proof arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 mainly blocks the exhaust holes at the upper end, the rear end and the two ends of the arc-extinguishing chamber 1 to prevent the entry of sand and wind. When the low-voltage switchgear product generates a large amount of airflow, the airflow direction is the upper end, the rear end and the two sides of the arc-extinguishing chamber. At this time, the sand-proof arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 is pushed and turned over to the rear side, and is separated from the product, so that the gas is smoothly discharged, ensuring the normal work of the low-voltage switchgear product. After the gas is discharged, the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 2 is slightly reset by the elasticity of the rubber flexible material, and is completely reset by manual when the obstacle is manually removed, so that it continues to play the role of blocking sand and wind.
