Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to circuit breaker technical field, specifically related to a circuit breaker. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the power system, the circuit breaker plays a vital role, which can turn on, carry and break the current under normal and fault conditions, and guarantee the safe and stable operation of the power line. A kind of existing circuit breaker generally includes shell with arc-extinguishing chamber and electromagnetic assembly, wherein electromagnetic assembly contains coil framework, coil and yoke and other components.

[0003] However, the structure widely used at present is that the yoke of electromagnetic assembly is arranged above electromagnetic assembly (such as the circuit breaker quick tripping mechanism disclosed in application No. CN201520628719X). In the working process of circuit breaker, the arc generated by arc-extinguishing chamber often has the tendency of flowing upward (arc uplift). When arc uplifts, it is extremely easy to cause adverse effects on electromagnetic assembly and other components above arc-extinguishing chamber. The interaction of arc and electromagnetic assembly and other components can interfere with the normal work of electromagnetic assembly, reduce the stability of its electromagnetic performance. At the same time, arc uplift is also not conducive to the effective performance of arc-extinguishing process, which will prolong the arc-extinguishing time, reduce the arc-extinguishing efficiency, and further affect the product performance and reliability of the entire circuit breaker. Therefore, a new structure design is needed to overcome a series of problems caused by arc uplift in the prior art, improve the arc-extinguishing effect and overall product performance of circuit breaker, so as to meet the increasing performance requirements of power system for circuit breaker. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the background art, the utility model provides a circuit breaker.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the utility model is: a circuit breaker, including shell with arc-extinguishing chamber and electromagnetic assembly, the electromagnetic assembly includes coil framework, coil and yoke, the yoke includes baffle part and support part connected with coil framework, the baffle part is arranged between arc-extinguishing chamber and electromagnetic assembly.

[0006] Further, the shell between arc-extinguishing chamber and electromagnetic assembly is provided with positioning installation structure for positioning yoke.

[0007] Further, the positioning installation structure includes upper step and lower step arranged on the shell, and the baffle part is installed and clamped between the upper step and the lower step.

[0008] Further, the height of the baffle part is not lower than the height of arc-extinguishing sheet in arc-extinguishing chamber.

[0009] Further, the support part is provided with concave surface for supporting the end part of coil framework.

[0010] Further, the static contact has a hook portion bent to one side of the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0011] Further, the static contact has a hook portion bent to one side of the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0012] The utility model discloses the beneficial effect is:

[0013] Firstly, the magnetic yoke effectively solves the problem of arc uplift in the arc extinguishing chamber. As a barrier, the magnetic yoke can change the movement path of the arc, making it difficult to flow upward to the area where the electromagnetic assembly is located. At the same time, it helps the arc to reflect back to the arc extinguishing chamber, thereby greatly reducing the impact of the arc on the electromagnetic assembly and other upper components, ensuring the normal operation and performance stability of these components, reducing the risk of component damage or performance degradation caused by arc interference, improving the arc extinguishing effect and efficiency, significantly extending the service life of the circuit breaker and improving its operation reliability.

[0014] Secondly, since the arc uplift is suppressed, the arc extinguishing process can be carried out more efficiently. The arc can be extinguished more concentratedly in the arc extinguishing chamber according to the predetermined arc extinguishing mechanism, avoiding the difficulty of arc extinguishing caused by disordered diffusion of the arc, shortening the arc extinguishing time and improving the arc extinguishing efficiency, thereby improving the rapid response and cutting capacity of the circuit breaker to fault current and enhancing the safety and stability of the power system under fault conditions.

[0015] In addition, this structure optimizes the distribution of electric field and magnetic field inside the circuit breaker. While blocking the arc, the magnetic yoke also plays its original role of guiding and constraining the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic assembly, so that it can act more accurately on the relevant components, improving the working efficiency of the electromagnetic assembly and further improving the electrical performance and operating characteristics of the circuit breaker as a whole, making the circuit breaker work more stably and reliably under various working conditions, and providing a stronger guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the power system.

[0016] In addition to the purposes, features and advantages described above, the utility model has other purposes, features and advantages.

[0017] The utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0030] Specifically, the positioning installation structure includes an upper step 8 and a lower step 9 arranged on the shell, and the baffle part is installed and clamped between the upper step and the lower step.

[0031] In the embodiment, the positioning installation structure uses the upper step and the lower step on the shell to install and clamp the baffle part of the magnetic yoke. This design not only has a simple and convenient installation method, facilitating assembly operation in the production and manufacturing process and reducing assembly cost and difficulty, but also provides good limiting and supporting effects through the step structure, thereby enhancing the stability of the magnetic yoke in the horizontal and vertical directions and effectively resisting displacement of the magnetic yoke caused by external factors such as vibration and impact during operation of the circuit breaker, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and durability of the magnetic yoke in blocking the arc.
