[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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-8 An arc-extinguishing chamber includes an arc-extinguishing mechanism 20, a corresponding side plate 201, arc-extinguishing grid plates 30 arranged sequentially in a vertical direction, and arc-extinguishing grid plates 70 located on the left and right sides of the arc-extinguishing grid plates 30. A gas-generating block 202 is provided at the top of the arc-extinguishing grid plate 30, forming a slit through which a moving contact passes. A magnet 50 is installed inside the gas-generating block 202 to guide the arc generated by the breakage within the slit downwards. The side plate 201 is also equipped with a mounting frame 40 for placing the arc-extinguishing grid plates 70. An insulating plate 401 is formed on one side of the mounting frame 40 and abuts against the gas-generating block 202 to isolate the arc within the slit on that side. The arc-extinguishing grid plates 30 and 70 are arranged in a C-shape. An arc-inducing plate 60 is also provided inside the mounting frame 40, located on the same side as the insulating plate 401.

[0030] It should be noted that the moving contact breaks within the slit formed by the gas-generating block 202. At this time, the electric arc is generated within the slit. The magnet 50 generates a magnetic field under the influence of the current, which acts on the electric arc and drives the electric arc to move towards the lower end of the arc-extinguishing grid plate 30. The setting of the insulating plate 401 prevents the downward electric arc from moving directly to the arc-initiating plate on the same side as the insulating plate 401. At this time, the free electric arc moves through the arc-extinguishing grid plate 30 to the arc-extinguishing grid plates 70 on both sides and then back to the arc-initiating plate, thereby increasing the arc's moving distance and increasing the arc contact area, thus accelerating heat dissipation. The arc-extinguishing grid plate 30 and the arc-extinguishing grid plate 70 are arranged in a C-shape, increasing the number of arc-extinguishing grid plates within a limited space.

[0031] Specifically, the second arc-extinguishing grid plate 70 is divided into two groups, wherein the width of the second arc-extinguishing grid plate 70 located on the side of the insulating plate 401 and the arc-inducing plate is greater than the width of the second arc-extinguishing grid plate 70 on the other side.

[0032] It should be noted that the arc-extinguishing grid is divided into two groups, and the width of one group (located on the side of the insulating plate 401 and the arc-starting plate) is specially adjusted. In order to better adapt to the motion characteristics and heat distribution of the electric arc, the wider grid can more effectively capture and disperse the electric arc energy. By increasing the contact area between the electric arc and the grid, the cooling and extinguishing of the electric arc can be accelerated. By adjusting the width of the arc-extinguishing grid, the gas can be guided to flow along a predetermined path, ensuring that heat and harmful gases can be quickly discharged from the equipment, reducing thermal stress and corrosion on the equipment.

[0033] Specifically, a mounting post 2021 is provided on one side of the gas generating block 202. The mounting post 2021 is inserted into the side plate 201 to form an assembly structure. Insert blocks 301 with the same function are provided on both sides of the arc extinguishing grid plate 30. The insert blocks 301 are assembled with the side plate 201.

[0034] It should be noted that the mounting posts 2021 on one side of the gas generating block 202 are designed to ensure that they can be accurately inserted into the pre-set holes of the side plate 201, forming a tight and stable assembly structure, which improves the accuracy and reliability of the assembly. When the insertion block 301 of the arc extinguishing grid plate 30 is inserted into the hole of the side plate 201, a firm assembly connection can be formed, ensuring that the arc extinguishing grid plate 30 can be stably fixed in the arc extinguishing chamber and will not loosen or shift under the impact of the electric arc.

[0035] Specifically, the arc-extinguishing chamber also includes an arc-extinguishing chamber cover 10 that is compatible with the arc-extinguishing mechanism 20. The arc-extinguishing chamber cover 10 is provided with a cavity for placing the arc-extinguishing mechanism 20. The bottom of the cavity has a venting groove 102 for exhausting air and an installation hole 103 for installation and fixing. The outer wall of the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 10 is provided with a fixing hole 101.

[0036] It should be noted that the mounting holes 101 are typically used to install and secure other auxiliary components, such as sensors and terminals. By making reasonable use of these mounting holes 101, the functionality of the arc-extinguishing chamber can be easily expanded to meet different application requirements. At the same time, these mounting holes 101 also increase the flexibility and versatility of the arc-extinguishing chamber cover 10, enabling it to adapt to different models and specifications of switchgear.

[0037] Specifically, a multi-layer exhaust plate is provided between the arc-extinguishing chamber and the arc-extinguishing mechanism 20, and a number of exhaust holes are distributed on the exhaust hole.

[0038] It should be noted that the exhaust holes are evenly distributed on each exhaust plate to ensure that the gas can be discharged evenly from all directions, avoiding local overheating or pressure concentration, optimizing the gas flow path, and allowing the electric arc to come into more full contact with the cooling medium in the arc extinguishing chamber, thereby accelerating the cooling and extinguishing process of the electric arc.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
