Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker technology, specifically to a circuit breaker arc extinguishing structure. Background Technology
[0002] A circuit breaker is a switching device that can close, carry, and interrupt current under normal circuit conditions and close, carry, and interrupt current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. During the use of circuit breakers, in order to reduce the burning of contacts by electric arc and limit the space for arc expansion, it is generally used in conjunction with an arc extinguishing device.
[0003] In existing circuit breakers, the arc-extinguishing grid and the arc-isolating plate are connected by a snap-fit mechanism. This results in slow installation of the arc-extinguishing chamber during production, complex assembly processes, and a significant impact on production efficiency. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to replace a damaged arc-extinguishing grid during use. Additionally, the arc-extinguishing chamber generates heat during operation, which is difficult to dissipate in a timely manner. Over time, this affects the efficiency and lifespan of the arc-extinguishing chamber. Therefore, we propose an arc-extinguishing chamber assembly structure to solve the above problems.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 One embodiment of this utility model is a circuit breaker arc extinguishing structure, comprising:
[0033] Arc-blocking plate 1, with multiple detachable arc-extinguishing grid plates 4 installed inside the arc-blocking plate 1 for blocking electric arc; wherein the arc-extinguishing grid plates 4 are V-shaped, and the V-shaped arc-extinguishing grid plates 4 can better play the role of arc extinguishing, and at the same time, the V-shaped arc-extinguishing grid plates 4 can better dissipate heat, further improving the heat dissipation effect of the arc-extinguishing structure.
[0034] The limiting member 2 has multiple members arranged at equal intervals on both sides of the bottom end inside the arc-extinguishing plate 1; the groove on the limiting member 2 is oblique and adapted to the shape of the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4, so that the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 can be stably installed inside the arc-extinguishing plate 1.
[0035] The heat-conducting plate 3 is located in the middle of the bottom of the arc-extinguishing plate 1, and the top of the heat-conducting plate 3 is in contact with the bottom of the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4. A connecting groove is provided in the middle of the bottom of the arc-extinguishing plate 1, and the heat-conducting plate 3 is connected to the arc-extinguishing plate 1 through the connecting groove. Both ends of the heat-conducting plate 3 are L-shaped. After the heat generated by the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 is introduced into the heat-conducting plate 3, the heat is then discharged to the outside from the L-shaped part of the heat-conducting plate 3, which plays a role in heat dissipation.
[0036] The clamping plate 5 is rotatably disposed on both sides of the top of the arc-blocking plate 1, and the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 is sleeved with the arc-blocking plate 1 through the clamping plate 5;
[0037] The arc-extinguishing grid 4 is mounted on the arc-isolating plate 1. A retaining plate 5 is provided on the arc-isolating plate 1, which holds the arc-extinguishing grid 4 in place. A heat-conducting plate 3 is provided on the arc-isolating plate 1, which contacts the arc-extinguishing grid 4 to conduct and dissipate the heat generated by the arc-extinguishing grid 4. When the arc-extinguishing grid 4 is damaged, the user can remove the arc-extinguishing grid 4 from the arc-isolating plate 1 by releasing the locking of the retaining plate 5, making the replacement of the arc-extinguishing grid 4 convenient and quick, and enabling rapid heat dissipation. Furthermore, a fixing component is provided inside the retaining plate 5 and the arc-extinguishing grid 4 in the retaining groove, which secures the arc-extinguishing grid 4. The position is further fixed to prevent the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 from sliding during use. The fixing part is made of high-temperature resistant material to prevent the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 from being damaged by heat. The arc-blocking plate 1 and the limiting part 2 are both made of high-temperature resistant material to prevent the heat-conducting plate 3 from damaging the arc-blocking plate 1 and the limiting part 2. The arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 is V-shaped to facilitate heat conduction. The limiting part 2 is installed on both sides of the heat-conducting plate 3. If the user needs to adjust the distance between multiple arc-extinguishing grid plates 4, the user can remove the excess arc-extinguishing grid plates 4 from the arc-blocking plate 1 so that the arc-extinguishing structure can be adapted to circuit breakers of different sizes.
[0038] In this embodiment, multiple slots are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the arc-extinguishing plate 1, and T-shaped clips are provided on both sides of the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4. The shape of the slots on the arc-extinguishing plate 1 corresponds to the shape of the T-shaped clips on the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4, so that the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 can be stably and firmly placed inside the arc-extinguishing plate 1. The arc-extinguishing plate 1 is engaged with the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 through the slots and T-shaped clips. The slots and T-shaped clips facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4. If the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 inside the arc-extinguishing structure is damaged, the user can remove the damaged arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 from the arc-extinguishing plate 1 through the slots and T-shaped clips.
[0039] In this embodiment, the top of one end of the arc-blocking plate 1 is provided with ears on both sides. The clamping plate 5 is rotatably connected to the arc-blocking plate 1 through the ears. The clamping plate 5 rotates around the ears, which facilitates the clamping plate 5 to be engaged with the arc-blocking plate 1. Moreover, when the clamping plate 5 is released from the arc-blocking plate 1, the clamping plate 5 will not fall off and be lost from the arc-blocking plate 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, the top of the other end of the arc-isolating plate 1 is provided with slots on both sides, and the bottom of the plate 5 is provided with a buckle. The arc-isolating plate 1 is engaged with the plate 5 through the slots and buckles. When the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 is installed, the plate 5 can be engaged through the buckles and slots to prevent the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 from detaching from the arc-isolating plate 1. In addition, a fixing member is provided in the slot, which fills the gap between the T-shaped clamps on the plate 5 and the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4.
[0041] In this embodiment, the arc-blocking plate 1 is made of high-temperature resistant material, which can prevent the arc-blocking plate 1 from being damaged by the heated heat-conducting plate 3 and the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4.
[0042] In this embodiment, the top of the limiting member 2 is provided with a groove and the size of the groove is adapted to the size of the arc extinguishing grid plate 4. The limiting member 2 makes the distance between multiple arc extinguishing grid plates 4 the same. The installation position of the limiting member 2 corresponds to the opening position of the slot on the arc quenching plate 1, thereby restricting the installation position of the arc extinguishing grid plate 4 on the arc quenching plate 1.
[0043] Working principle: The arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 is installed on the arc-isolating plate 1 through a slot, and a retaining plate 5 is provided on the arc-isolating plate 1. The retaining plate 5 holds the arc-extinguishing grid plate 4 on the arc-isolating plate 1. A heat-conducting plate 3 is provided on the arc-isolating plate 1.
