The two ends of the sealing box 41 are fixedly connected with guide cylinders 43 in a horizontal manner. The guide cylinders 43 are made of high-temperature resistant rubber material, which can effectively resist the high-temperature impact of the arc. The one end of the sealing box 41 is fixedly connected with a vacuum pump 44 through the guide cylinder 43. The model of the vacuum pump 44 is VQ-100, which has high efficient air pumping capacity. The other end of the sealing box 41 is fixedly connected with an electromagnetic valve 45 through the guide cylinder 43. The electromagnetic valve 45 is made of aluminum valve body to ensure durability and sealing performance.

[0027] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the separation piece 42 includes an arc guiding plate 421, which is horizontally arranged in the inside of the sealing box 41. The arc guiding plate 421 is made of copper material and is silver-plated on the surface to improve the electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance. A plurality of arc guiding needles 424 are vertically arranged on the horizontal end face of the arc guiding plate 421 close to the circuit breaker contact. The diameter of the arc guiding needles 424 is 2mm, which are made of high-temperature resistant alloy material to ensure that the arc can be effectively guided and prevented from breaking. The one end of the plurality of arc guiding needles 424 is fixed on the horizontal end face of the arc guiding plate 421 through welding process.

[0028] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal end face of the other side of the arc guiding plate 421 is fixedly provided with arc extinguishing fins 422. The arc extinguishing fins 422 are composed of a plurality of metal sheets with high thermal conductivity and certain rigidity.

[0031] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the circuit breaker body 3 is fixed in the box body 11, and then the cover body 2 is used for closed storage. When the circuit breaker body 3 is opened and closed to generate arc, the generated arc is guided by the arc leading needle 424 on the arc guide plate 421 in the separating piece 42 in the arc extinguishing member 4, and is transmitted to the arc guide plate 421. Then the arc is transmitted and dispersed to the multiple arc extinguishing grid pieces 422. In order to dissipate the separated arc, the electromagnetic valve 45 on one end of the guide cylinder 43 is opened, the vacuum pump 44 on the other end of the guide cylinder 43 in the box body 11 is started to drive the air in the box body 11 to flow from one end to the other end. The air contacts the multiple arc extinguishing grid pieces 422, and the high-speed flowing air blows the arc away from the contact area, accelerates the cooling and interrupts the current path, ensuring the arc extinguishing effect of the arc extinguishing grid piece.

[0032] In use, the screw cylinder 16 on one end of the box body 11 can also be rotated according to the use condition, the stud 15 on the sliding block 14 at the end of the fixed frame 13 is driven to move horizontally, and the sliding block 14 at one end of the fixed frame 13 is slid horizontally on the guide frame 12, so as to adjust the installation position of the mounting member 1, ensuring the expansion effectiveness of the installation.
