For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] In one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 1 , an arc-extinguishing chamber 10 is provided, comprising a mounting bracket 10a and a first grid group 11 and a second grid group 12 arranged on the mounting bracket 10a, the first grid group 11 comprising a plurality of X-direction grids 110 arranged at intervals along the Y-direction, the second grid group 12 comprising a plurality of Y-direction grids 120 arranged at intervals along the X-direction, the X-direction and the Y-direction being perpendicular to each other.

[0031] At least one Y-direction grid 120 is connected to any X-direction grid 110 whose projection in the Z-direction overlaps, the Z-direction being the direction perpendicular to the plane of the Y-direction grid 120, the angle a between the Z-direction and the X-direction.

[0032] For example, the angle a between the Z-direction and the X-direction satisfies 0°>a≥50°.

[0033] The arc-extinguishing chamber 10 has two grid groups, namely the first grid group 11 and the second grid group 12; wherein the first grid group 11 comprises a plurality of X-direction grids 110, each X-direction grid 110 being arranged along the X-direction, and the plurality of X-direction grids 110 being arranged in an array along the Y-direction and at intervals; the second grid group 12 comprises a plurality of Y-direction grids 120, each Y-direction grid 120 being arranged along the Y-direction, and the plurality of Y-direction grids 120 being arranged in an array along the X-direction and at intervals.

[0034] By arranging two grid groups with different arrangement directions, the number of grids can be increased under the same volume, and the arc-extinguishing capacity of the arc-extinguishing chamber 10 can be improved; and the X-direction grids 110 and the Y-direction grids 120 are connected to form equal-phase connection, so that the arc is more easily introduced into the grid, and the breaking capacity and electrical life of the arc-extinguishing chamber 10 are improved.

[0035] The grid has a side wall and a grid face, the direction perpendicular to the grid face of the Y-direction grid 120 is set as the Z-direction, and the angle a between the Z-direction and the X-direction can satisfy 0°>a≥50°, in other words, the plurality of Y-direction grids 120 are not arranged in an array completely parallel to the X-direction, but are arranged at an angle with the X-direction, and when a single Y-direction grid 120 is inclined, the normal line of the grid face is the Z-direction, that is, the angle b between the grid face and the Z-direction is always 90 degrees.

[0036] And, when the plurality of Y-direction vanes 120 are not arranged in parallel, each Y-direction vane 120 has its own Z-direction, for example Figure 2 The first Y-direction vane 121 has its Z1 direction, the second Y-direction vane 122 has its Z2 direction, and the rest of the Y-direction vanes 120 follow the same pattern.

[0037] In the present application, at least one Y-direction vane 120 and any X-direction vane 110 are connected, and the projection of the connected Y-direction vane 120 and X-direction vane 110 in the Z direction overlaps, so that the X-direction vane 110 and the Y-direction vane 120 are connected in phase.

[0038] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The second X-direction vane 112 farthest from the contact mechanism 21 (the origin O is the center point of the contact mechanism 21) is connected to the first Y-direction vane 121 closest to the first vane group 11.

[0039] Generally, at least one X-direction vane 110 and Y-direction vane 120 are connected to form a phase connection, and in the present application, the contact mechanism 21 is preferably arranged close to the second vane group 12, and the second X-direction vane 112 farthest from the contact mechanism 21 in the X direction is connected to the first Y-direction vane 121 closest to the first vane group 11.

[0040] Further, referring to Figure 2 The first X-direction vane 111 farthest from the contact mechanism 21 is connected to the second Y-direction vane 122 closest to the first vane group 11.

[0041] In addition to the connection of the second X-direction vane 112 and the first Y-direction vane 121, the first X-direction vane 111 and the second Y-direction vane 122 can also be connected to further improve the breaking capacity and electrical life of the arc-extinguishing chamber 10.

[0042] As mentioned earlier, when the plurality of Y-direction vanes 120 are not arranged in parallel and form an acute angle arrangement, each Y-direction vane 120 has its own Z-direction. In addition, the plurality of Y-direction vanes 120 can also be arranged in parallel, at which time each Y-direction vane 120 has the same Z-direction.

[0043] In the examples of the present application, the plurality of Y-direction vanes 120 are arranged at an acute angle, and the plurality of X-direction vanes 110 are arranged in parallel. Of course, the plurality of X-direction vanes 110 can also be arranged at an acute angle, which is selected according to actual needs.

[0044] In addition, the first vane group 11 and the second vane group 12 are arranged at intervals, and the first Y-direction vane 121 is arranged obliquely along the Y direction, so that the plurality of X-direction vanes 110 and the first Y-direction vane 121 have unequal spacings, as shown inFigure 1 As shown, the second X-directional grid sheet 112 gradually increases the spacing between the remaining X-directional grid sheets 110 to the right along the Y direction and the first Y-directional grid sheet 121.

[0045] In addition to the first Y-directional grid sheet 121 being obliquely arranged along the Y direction, the remaining Y-directional grid sheets 120 are also obliquely arranged along the Y direction, and the plurality of Y-directional grid sheets 120 are at least partially arranged in an arc shape, so that the arc chamber 10 as a whole forms an arc structure to match and adapt to the shape of the contact mechanism 21 and reasonably utilize the arrangement space of the cavity 20a.

[0046] When the at least part of the Y-directional grid sheets 120 are arranged in an arc shape, in order to maintain the shape of the arc, the spacing between the plurality of Y-directional grid sheets 120 is not equal.

[0047] Based on this, referring to Figs. 1 and 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 the application further discloses a switch unit 20, comprising a cavity 20a, and a contact mechanism 21 and the arc chamber 10 of any one of the above arranged in the cavity 20a.

[0048] The arc chamber 10 is used for arc extinguishing of the contact mechanism 21; the arc chamber 10 of the application has two, and the two arc chambers 10 are oppositely arranged along the Y direction on both sides of the contact mechanism 21, and the Y-directional grid sheets 120 of the two arc chambers 10 are oppositely arranged along the Y direction, and the X-directional grid sheets 110 of the two arc chambers 10 are oppositely arranged along the X direction, so as to wrap the contact mechanism 21 in the arc extinguishing area formed by the two arc chambers 10, and effectively extinguish the arc.

[0049] The switch unit 20 comprises the same structure and advantages as the arc chamber 10 in the foregoing embodiments. The structure and advantages of the arc chamber 10 have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described here.

[0050] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the application and is not intended to limit the application. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
