DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model will be described in detail in combination with the specific embodiment of the utility model, but the description of the embodiment is not the limitation of the technical scheme, and any form but not the substantial change according to the utility model concept should be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.

[0022] In the following description, the directional (or directional) concept of up, down, left, right, front and back is for the position state of the figure being described, and the purpose is to facilitate the public to understand, so it cannot be understood as the special limitation of the technical scheme provided by the utility model.

[0023] As Figure 1 , it is the explosion schematic view of the arc extinguishing chamber. The arc extinguishing chamber includes a pair of side plates 1, the grid sheet 2 arrayed between the pair of side plates 1, and the grid sheet 2 is a plurality of, and is arranged at intervals.

[0024] On the gas outlet side of the grid sheet 2, a perforated plate 3 is cooperatively installed. The perforated plate 3 is made of insulating material, and multiple air holes are provided on the perforated plate 3. The air holes facilitate the passage of air flow. Above the perforated plate 3, a flame extinguishing member 4 is provided. The flame extinguishing member 4 is used to deionize the gas passing through the perforated plate 3.

[0025] The arc extinguishing chamber includes a bracket 5. The bracket 5 is in a square frame shape, and its outer side is cooperatively installed with a pair of side plates 1. Specifically, a convex platform is provided on the outer surface of the bracket 5 that cooperates with the side plate 1. Correspondingly, a positioning hole is provided on the side plate 1. The convex platform is snapped into the positioning hole to achieve the cooperative installation of the two.

[0026] The above-mentioned perforated plate 3 and flame extinguishing member 4 are both located in the inner cavity of the bracket 5. Above the bracket 5, an arc extinguishing cover 7 is further provided. A gasket 6 is provided between the bracket 5 and the arc extinguishing cover 7. The gasket 6 can improve the airtightness between the bracket 5 and the arc extinguishing cover 7.

[0027] Such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 。 The arc extinguishing chamber further includes a gas generating member 8. The gas generating member 8 covers the grid legs of multiple grid sheets 2. After the arc enters the arc extinguishing chamber, it can burn the gas generating member 8. The gas generating member 8 generates insulating gas to help extinguish the arc.

[0028] Continue to see Figure 2 The perforated plate 3 is a plate made of insulating material, and multiple ventilation holes are opened thereon. Preferably, the ventilation holes are arranged in a square array, or in other words, the ventilation holes are evenly distributed.

[0029] In the width direction of multiple grid sheets 2, the ventilation holes include side hole columns 31 located on both sides and a middle hole column 32 located between the two side hole columns 31. Or it can be said that in the width direction of multiple grid sheets 2, the side hole columns 31 are located on the two outer sides of the middle hole column 32.

[0030] Of course, there may be differences in the lengths of the above-mentioned side hole columns 31 and middle hole column 32. For example, the arrangement length of the side hole column 31 is less than the arrangement length of the middle hole column 32. That is, under the condition of uniform distribution, the number of the middle hole column 32 is greater than the number of the side hole columns 31.

[0031] The ratio of the aperture D of the ventilation holes in the middle hole column 32 to the aperture d of the ventilation holes in the side hole column 31 is 1 < D / d < 3. This setting makes the middle part corresponding to the middle hole column 32 have greater gas fluidity in the width direction of the grid sheet 2, which can make the arc gas concentrate towards the middle, facilitating the arc to enter the grid faster, thereby shortening the survival time of the arc and improving the arc extinguishing performance of the arc extinguishing chamber.

[0032] The switch further comprises a contact system matched with the arc extinguishing chamber, the contact system comprises a moving contact and a static contact, the static contact is fixedly installed, and the moving contact is rotatably arranged, and the moving contact is in contact or separated from the static contact after rotation. For further improvement of the scheme, all the grid fins 2 are arranged to form a first grid fin group 21, a second grid fin group 22 and a third grid fin group 23. The first grid fin group 21 is located on the side of the moving contact, and the third grid fin group 23 is located on the side of the static contact. The second grid fin group 22 is located between the first grid fin group 21 and the third grid fin group 23.

[0033] In combination Figure 3 And Figure 4 In the embodiment, the grid fin gap in the first grid fin group 21 is greater than the grid fin gap in the second grid fin group 22, and the grid fin gap in the third grid fin group 23 is also greater than the grid fin gap in the second grid fin group 22. Preferably, the grid fin gap in the first grid fin group 21 is equal to the grid fin gap in the third grid fin group 23. In the embodiment, the first grid fin group 21 is a short grid fin, and the second grid fin group 22 and the third grid fin group 23 are long grid fins. More specifically, the grid fin gap between the adjacent grid fins 2 of the first grid fin group 21 and the second grid fin group 22 is equal to the grid fin gap between the first grid fin group 21, and the grid fin gap between the adjacent grid fins 2 of the second grid fin group 22 and the third grid fin group 23 is equal to the grid fin gap between the third grid fin group 23.

[0034] Continued to see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The intermediate hole column 32 comprises a first ventilation hole 321 and a second ventilation hole 322. The ratio of the hole diameter d2 of the second ventilation hole 322 to the hole diameter d1 of the first ventilation hole 321 is 1 < d2 / d1 < 2. In at least part of the column in the array direction of the grid fins 2, the first ventilation hole 321 and the second ventilation hole 322 are arranged at intervals after forming a rectangular array. More specifically, in the middle of the intermediate hole column 32, the array of the second ventilation hole 322 is located at both ends of the array of the first ventilation hole 321, or the array of the first ventilation hole 321 is located between the two arrays of the second ventilation hole 322.

[0035] The array of the first ventilation hole 321 corresponds to the second grid fin group 22 described above, and the array of the second ventilation hole 322 corresponds to the first grid fin group 21 and the third grid fin group 23.

[0036] This arrangement makes the first and third groups of vanes 21 and 23 have larger gas passing area, which is beneficial to the arc to enter the vanes quickly, thus accelerating the arc to spread in the whole array of vanes 2.

[0037] Continued to see Figure 4 The arc extinguishing chamber further comprises a moving arc striking vane 100, one end of which is located outside the first group of vanes 21 and extends around the first group of vanes 21 and to the middle of the arc extinguishing chamber after being bent.
