DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The utility model will be explained in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical scheme of the utility model, and detailed implementation modes and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] EMBODIMENT

[0026] The embodiment provides a dust cover of a low-voltage circuit breaker, and specific structures are shown in Figures 1-4 , comprising a cover body 1 and a plurality of cover plates 2; a plurality of accommodation cavities 105 are arranged at intervals on the upper end face of the cover body 1, and a limiting part 104 is arranged on one side of the accommodation cavity 105; a plurality of cover plates 2 are located above the accommodation cavities 105 and are rotationally connected with the cover body 1, the cover plate 2 comprises an overlapping part 204, a rotating part 205 and a dustproof part 206 connected in sequence, when the overlapping part 204 abuts against the limiting part 104, the cover plate 2 is in a closed state, and when the rotating part 205 abuts against the limiting part 104, the limiting part 104 plays a role in limiting the rotating stroke of the cover plate 2.

[0027] In the embodiment, when the cover plate 2 is in the closed state, there is a gap between the rotating part 205 and the limiting part 104, and this design makes the cover plate 2 not affect the flexibility of rotation in the opening and closing process due to direct contact and friction with the limiting part 104.

[0028] In the embodiment, the rotating amplitude of the cover plate 2 is denoted as α, and 0≤α<90°, the embodiment specifies the rotating amplitude of the cover plate, when an electric arc is sprayed out, the cover plate 2 rotates around the convex part 101 on the cover body 1, and then returns to the original position by its own gravity, thereby playing a dustproof role; in addition, safety hazards possibly caused by too large rotating amplitude are avoided, for example, the cover plate 2 is prevented from being excessively opened and falling off or affecting the normal use of the low-voltage circuit breaker under accidental conditions, and the protection function of the dust cover under different opening and closing states is also ensured.

[0029] In the embodiment, a groove 102 is arranged between two adjacent accommodating cavities 105, facilitating installation of a phase spacing plate and increasing insulation of the circuit breaker.

[0030] In the embodiment, the back of the groove 102 is provided with a positioning spacing plate 103, which effectively prevents phase-to-phase short circuit.

[0031] In the embodiment, the rotating part 205 is provided with a pair of connecting holes 201, and the accommodating cavity 105 is provided with a pair of protrusions 101, which respectively extend into the pair of connecting holes 201.

[0032] In the embodiment, the dustproof part 206 is further provided with a gas permeable hole 202, which is covered with a gas permeable film. The gas permeable film can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene or coated fabric, or other materials with gas permeability. The gas permeable hole 202 not only ensures the dustproof function of the dust cover, but also realizes certain ventilation effect, which helps to dissipate heat of the low-voltage circuit breaker during operation and avoids affecting the performance and service life of the equipment due to heat accumulation.

[0033] In the embodiment, the gas permeable hole 202 is multiple and uniformly distributed on the dustproof part 206; and the gas permeable hole 202 is a transverse waist-shaped hole.

[0034] In the embodiment, the dustproof part 206 is provided with a pre-tightening part 203 on the side close to the accommodating cavity 105, which abuts against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 105. This design further improves the sealing performance of the dust cover in the closed state, which can more effectively prevent dust, moisture and the like from entering the low-voltage circuit breaker and protect normal operation of the equipment.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] The cover plate 2 of the dust cover is installed on the cover body 1 through the connecting hole 201, and is flexibly rotated by the protrusion 101 of the cover body 1. When the electric arc is ejected, the cover plate 2 is rotated, and is reset by its own gravity after the electric arc, so as to achieve the dustproof purpose. The groove 102 of the cover body 1 facilitates installation of a phase spacing plate, which together with the positioning spacing plate 103 improves insulation and prevents phase-to-phase short circuit. The limiting part 104 of the cover body 1 limits the cover plate 2, avoiding overstroke during movement. The gas permeable hole 202 on the cover plate 2 effectively reduces the temperature rise of the circuit breaker through gas permeation and heat dissipation.

[0037] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in other forms, and any skilled person in the art can modify or change the above disclosed technical content to equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present application, and in accordance with the technical essence of the present application, still belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
