DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below in combination with the drawings, but the description of the embodiments is not a limitation on the technical solutions, and any formal but not substantial changes according to the concept of the utility model should be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] In the following description, the directional or positional concepts of up, down, left, right, front and back are all based on the positions shown in the corresponding drawings, which are only provided for the technical solutions of the utility model and simplify the description, and thus cannot be understood as a special limitation on the technical solutions of the utility model.

[0025] As Figure 1 It is schematic view of switch. The switch includes arc extinguishing chamber 1 and contact system, the contact system includes movable contact 2 and static contact 3, the movable contact 2 oscillates to realize contact or separation with the static contact 3, and the current on the contact system is broken when the movable contact 2 changes from the state of contact with the static contact 3 to the state of separation. In the above process, electric arc is generated on the movable contact 2 and the static contact 3, and the electric arc is extinguished in the interior of the arc extinguishing chamber 1 after entering the arc extinguishing chamber 1.

[0026] As Figure 2Figure 1 is an exploded view of an arc extinguishing chamber. The arc extinguishing chamber 1 includes a pair of side walls 11 and a plurality of vanes 12 arranged between the pair of side walls 11. The vanes 12 are spaced apart from each other. When an arc enters the vanes 12, the arc voltage is increased, thereby extinguishing the arc.

[0027] The arc extinguishing chamber 1 further includes an arc extinguishing cover 13 at the top of the arc extinguishing chamber 1. The arc extinguishing cover 13 has a plurality of vent holes. The arc gas inside the arc extinguishing chamber 1 is filtered and discharged from the vent holes of the arc extinguishing cover 13 to the outside of the arc extinguishing chamber 1.

[0028] The arc extinguishing chamber 1 further includes a gas generating member 14. The gas generating member 14 includes a first gas generating member 141 and a second gas generating member 142. The vanes 12 include a pair of downwardly extending vane legs. The first gas generating member 141 is attached to the inner side of one of the vane legs, and the second gas generating member 142 is attached to the inner side of the other vane leg. The first gas generating member 141 and the second gas generating member 142 have a plurality of spaced apart arc passage surfaces.

[0029] The arc extinguishing chamber 1 further includes a deionization assembly 15. The deionization assembly 15 is located between the vanes 12 and the arc extinguishing cover 13. The arc gas is filtered by the deionization assembly 15 and discharged from the arc extinguishing cover 13 to the outside of the arc extinguishing chamber 1.

[0030] The deionization assembly 15 includes a filter screen assembly 151 and an insulating plate 152. The insulating plate 152 is located above the gas outlet of the vanes 12, and the filter screen assembly 151 is located above the insulating plate 152, and the insulating plate 152 and the filter screen assembly 151 are stacked.

[0031] The arc extinguishing chamber 1 further includes a movable arc guiding vane 16. The movable arc guiding vane 16 corresponds to one side of the movable contact 2. The movable arc guiding vane 16 is matched with the movable contact 2. Specifically, the movable arc guiding vane 16 pulls the arc on one side of the movable contact 2 into the arc extinguishing chamber 1.

[0032] Positioning members 17 are inserted into the vanes 12 from both sides of the vanes 12. The positioning members 17 help to strengthen the positioning of the vanes 12 spaced apart from each other, and prevent the arc gas from entering the vane leg portions of the vanes 12.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 1, the arc extinguishing chamber 1 includes a pair of side walls 11 and a plurality of vanes 12 arranged between the pair of side walls 11. The vanes 12 are spaced apart from each other. When an arc enters the vanes 12, the arc voltage is increased, thereby extinguishing the arc. Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the second gas-generating component 142. The second gas-generating component 142 includes an arc channel surface 1421. The arc channel surface 1421 and another corresponding arc channel surface 1421 on the first gas-generating component 141 are spaced apart to form an arc channel. A mounting protrusion 1422 is provided within the arc channel for mounting the moving arc-initiating plate 16. Specifically, the mounting protrusion 1422 is disposed on the arc channel surface 1421.

[0034] like Figure 4 The side sectional view of the arc-extinguishing chamber shows that the moving arc-inducing plate 16 includes a lower arc-inducing component 161 and an upper arc-inducing component 162, which are fixedly connected. Specifically, the upper end of the upper arc-inducing component 162 is located outside the array of grid plates 12, and the lower end of the upper arc-inducing component 162 is used to connect with the upper end of the lower arc-inducing component 161. The lower end of the lower arc-inducing component 161 extends towards the contact system of the switch. More specifically, the lower arc-inducing component 161 is installed inside the arc channel and is sleeved on the mounting protrusion 1422. One end of the upper arc-inducing component 162 that mates with the grid plate 12 is engaged between a pair of sidewalls 1. Specifically, a retaining edge is provided on the sidewall 1, and the end of the upper arc-inducing component 162 that mates with the grid plate 12 is engaged with the retaining edge of the sidewall 1 and the inner wall of the sidewall 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lower arc-leading component 161 and the upper arc-leading component 162 are manufactured separately and then fixedly connected together. However, it is also feasible to manufacture the lower arc-leading component 161 and the upper arc-leading component 162 as a single unit. The technical problem in this invention is solved, and the corresponding technical effect is achieved because the current-carrying cross-sectional area of ​​the lower arc-leading component 161 is larger than that of the upper arc-leading component 162. The current-carrying cross-sectional area refers to the cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor perpendicular to the direction of current flow, thereby improving the electrical life of the moving arc-leading plate 16. There are generally two methods to make the current-carrying cross-sectional area of ​​the lower arc-leading component 161 larger than that of the upper arc-leading component 162. One method is that the thickness of the lower arc-leading component 161 is greater than the thickness of the upper arc-leading component 162; the other method is that the width of the lower arc-leading component 161 is greater than the width of the upper arc-leading component 162. Of course, both methods can also be combined.

[0036] like Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the lower arc guide 161. The lower arc guide 161 includes an arc guide body 1611, the shape of which matches the outer edge of the mounting protrusion 1422. When the lower arc guide 161 is installed in place, the arc guide body 1611 surrounds the outer edge of the mounting protrusion 1422 on three sides.

[0037] The inner side of the arc striking body 1611 is provided with a mounting clamping edge 1612, which is in abutting fit with the side of the mounting protrusion 1422 that is not surrounded by the arc striking body 1611, i.e. the side of the mounting protrusion 1422 that is in gap fit with the arc striking body 1611. Thus, reliable mounting and positioning between the lower arc striking member 161 and the mounting protrusion 1422 is achieved.

[0038] A screw hole 16131 is arranged on the end surface 1613 of the upper portion of the arc striking body 1611, which is used for cooperating with the upper arc striking member 162 for mounting.

[0039] In the embodiment, the lower arc striking member 161 is a block-shaped member, which is formed by casting or cutting. Compared with a metal bending member, the block-shaped member has a greater thickness, and thus the lower arc striking member 161 has a higher electric life after being burned by an electric arc.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 2, the upper arc striking member 162 is a metal plate bending member, which is usually formed by bending a metal plate. Of course, the upper arc striking member 162 and the lower arc striking member 161 usually also need to be processed by an electroplating process. Figure 6

[0041] The upper arc striking member 162 includes a cooperating end 1621, a fixed end 1622 and a connecting portion 1623. The cooperating end 1621 is parallel to and spaced apart from the grid sheet 12, i.e. the cooperating end 1621 is located outside one end of the array of the grid sheets 12 in the array direction. The fixed end 1622 is mounted in fit with the end surface 1613, and more specifically, the fixed end 1622 is provided with a cooperating hole 16221, and a screw is screwed into the screw hole 16131 through the cooperating hole 16221, so as to realize the fixed connection between the lower arc striking member 162 and the upper arc striking member 161.

[0042] The connecting portion 1623 connects the cooperating end 1621 and the fixed end 1622. In order to make the upper arc striking member 161 present an outward expansion to one side, the cooperating end 1621 and the fixed end 1622 are parallel, and the connecting portion 1623 is inclined. More preferably, the fixed end 1622 and the connecting portion 1623 are both strip-shaped, and the cooperating end 1621 is rectangular, i.e. the width of the cooperating end 1621 is greater than the width of the fixed end 1622 and the connecting portion 1623.

[0043] ​In the utility model, the lower arc guiding piece 161 has a larger current cross section area than the normal arc guiding piece, and the arc itself has a larger energy because the arc is in the initial stage at the lower arc guiding piece 161, the lower arc guiding piece 161 has a larger arc burning resistance effect, so that the lower arc guiding piece 161 has a higher service life, and the service life of the movable arc guiding piece 16 is improved.

[0044] For the specific embodiment, the structure of the split movable arc guiding piece 16 can improve the effect while reducing the manufacturing cost of the movable arc guiding piece 16. Since only the lower arc guiding piece 162 is a block-shaped piece with a larger thickness, and the upper arc guiding piece 161 still adopts a bent metal plate, the cost is undoubtedly saved compared with the case that the whole movable arc guiding piece 16 uses block-shaped pieces, and the competitiveness of the product is improved.
