[0019] Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the cover plate according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The installation structure of the circuit breaker arc-extinguishing chamber cover plate in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: Figures 2-5 As shown, the circuit breaker includes a housing 2 with a cavity 20 for installing arc-extinguishing grid plates. A cover plate 3 is fixedly installed on the housing 2 to close in conjunction with the opening of the cavity 20. The cover plate 3 has multiple arc-extinguishing holes 30. The arrangement direction of the arc-extinguishing grid plates corresponds to the two ends of the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 has side edges 31 on both sides, and the arrangement direction of the two side edges 31 is perpendicular to the two ends. The side edges 31 and the housing 2 are connected and fixed by fasteners, namely bolts 4. By fixing the cover plate 3 with the housing 2 of the circuit breaker through the cooperation of the two side edges 31, the space occupied in the cavity 20 along the arrangement direction of the arc-extinguishing grid plates is reduced, so that the cavity 20 can accommodate more arc-extinguishing grid plates. In addition, this fixing method of the cover plate 3 also has a wider contact area when fixing compared with fixing at both ends, so the fixing effect between the cover plate 3 and the housing 2 is also better.

[0021] The fasteners are connected to both ends of the side edge 31, which are the two ends corresponding to the two ends of the cover plate 3, so that the force between the side edge 31 and the housing 2 is even, thereby improving the fixed installation effect between the cover plate 3 and the housing 2.

[0022] The housing 2 is fixedly provided with a nut 5 that is connected to the bolt 4. The cover plate 3 is fixed by the cooperation of the nut 5 and the bolt 4. Compared with the traditional method of fixing the bolt and the housing directly, the fixing is more reliable.

[0023] The side of the housing 2 is provided with a slot 21. A connecting hole 22 is provided between the end face of the housing 2 and the side edge 31 of the cover plate 3 and the slot 21. The connecting hole 22 is used for the shank of the bolt 4 to pass through. The nut 5 is inserted into the slot 21. The nut 5 and the slot 21 form a limiting fit that prevents the nut 5 from rotating. Specifically, the slot 21 has two parallel side walls. The nut 5 is rectangular or hexagonal. The two side walls of the slot 21 restrict the rotation of the nut 5. In addition, the width of the connecting hole 22 is smaller than the width of the slot 21, so that the nut 5 will not enter the connecting hole 22 axially. During assembly, the nut 5 is first inserted into the slot 21, and then the bolt 4 is passed through the side edge 31 and then connected to the nut 5 through the connecting hole 22 to achieve locking and fixing between the cover plate 3 and the housing 2. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0024] The connecting hole 22 has an opening on the side of the housing 2, which facilitates the processing and forming of the connecting hole 22, and also allows the bolt 4 to move laterally, making it easy to adjust the position of the bolt 4 and reducing the requirements for the tolerance fit accuracy between components.

[0025] The side edge 31 is provided with a U-shaped groove 311 for bolt 4 to be connected, which facilitates the connection between the bolt 4 and the side edge 31, allows the bolt 4 to be moved laterally in the U-shaped groove 311, makes it easy to adjust the position of the bolt 4, and reduces the requirements for the tolerance fit accuracy between components.

[0026] A diagonal brace 32 is provided between the upper part of the side edge 31 and the main body of the cover plate 3. The diagonal brace 32 can improve the reliability of the connection between the side edge 31 and the main body of the cover plate 3 and prevent the side edge 31 from deforming, bending or breaking. The bolt 4 is provided in the gap between two adjacent diagonal braces 32 to strengthen the stress position of the side edge 31.

[0027] In this embodiment, each of the two ends of the side edge 31 of each cover plate 3 is provided with a set of bolts 4 and U-shaped grooves 311. In other embodiments, more sets can be provided. These bolts 4 and U-shaped grooves 311 can be distributed along the length of the side edge 31.

[0028] In this embodiment, two sets of recesses 20 and cover plates 3 are provided. In other embodiments, there may be one or more sets. When there are at least two sets, a groove 6 is formed between the side edge 31 and the inclined support block 32 of the adjacent cover plates 3. The openings of the U-shaped grooves 311 of the side edge 31 of the adjacent cover plates are set in corresponding and close positions. A pressure plate 7 is embedded in the groove 6. The two corresponding U-shaped grooves 311 of the side edge 31 of the adjacent cover plates are connected with a bolt 4. The bolt 4 is also connected with the pressure plate 7. The pressure plate is pressed on the side edge 31 by the bolt 4. This design allows one bolt 4 to be used for the fixed installation of two adjacent cover plates 3 at the same time, which helps to reduce the number of bolts, simplify the assembly structure of the product, and improve the reliability of the connection between the cover plate 3 and the housing 2.

[0029] The above embodiments are merely one preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model's technical solution are all included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
