Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to low voltage circuit breaker technical field, specifically speaking is related to a kind of arc-extinguishing chamber. BACKGROUND

[0002] Arc-extinguishing chamber is one of the basic methods of extinguishing arc, and arc-extinguishing chamber includes grid, gas generating element, air duct and gas outlet. The metal grid in arc-extinguishing chamber is stacked and arranged in a certain way. When arc is generated between contacts, arc is pulled into arc-extinguishing grid under the action of the contraction force of magnetic lines and the like. A long arc is divided into multiple short arcs. Arc voltage is increased to make fault current drop to achieve arc-extinguishing effect. In the existing low-voltage electrical field, the voltage that can be withstood by the direct-current switch can only reach DC 1500V. According to the latest development needs of low-voltage electrical industry, the current voltage that needs to be withstood by the direct-current switch will develop to AC 2000V and DC 3000V. The current product can only reach single-pole DC 750V and two-pole DC 1500V. The product on the market cannot meet the standard requirement of DC 2500V. Traditionally, DC 1500V product usually uses 4P. However, the product of 4P has large volume and high cost. In order to reduce cost, 2P / DC 1500V and 2P / DC 2000V products appear on the market. However, the voltage that needs to be withstood by each P of the product of 2P / DC 1500V and 2P / DC 2000V is high. With the increase of breaking current, the residence time of arc in arc-extinguishing grid becomes shorter. Arc quickly moves to the back of arc-extinguishing grid after entering the grid. It is difficult to maintain voltage. At the same time, arc quickly moves to the tail of arc-extinguishing grid, causing arc short circuit in the tail. On the other hand, with the opening direction of contact, there is time difference in the entry of arc into the grid. It is difficult to achieve high arc voltage. It is not conducive to the extinguishing of arc in arc-extinguishing chamber by arc-extinguishing grid. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Conventionally, the DC1500V product usually uses 4P, but the product volume of 4P is large and the cost is high; in order to reduce the cost, the 2P / DC1500V and 2P / DC2000V products appear in the market, but the 2P / DC1500V and 2P / DC2000V products need to withstand higher voltage per P, with the increase of breaking current, the residence time of arc in the arc extinguishing grid is shorter, the arc quickly transfers to the back of the arc extinguishing grid after entering the grid, and it is difficult to maintain pressure; at the same time, the arc moves to the tail of the arc extinguishing grid quickly, causing the arc short circuit phenomenon in the tail; on the other hand, with the opening direction of the contact, the arc enters the grid with a time difference, which cannot reach a high arc voltage value, which is not conducive to the arc entering the arc chamber to be extinguished by the arc extinguishing grid.

[0037] In order to solve the above technical problems, as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 The arc extinguishing chamber provided by the embodiment includes an arc extinguishing grid group 1, and an arc flow equalizing device 5 is arranged in the path from the side close to the contact system 2 to the side away from the contact system 2 in the arc extinguishing grid group 1.

The upper side of the arc extinguishing grid group 1 is provided with a deionization structure 8. The contact system 2 includes a moving contact 3 and a static contact 4, and the arc generated by the breaking of the moving contact 3 and the static contact 4 can enter the arc chamber a and be cut off and extinguished by the arc extinguishing grid group 1. The side of the arc extinguishing grid group 1 corresponding to the maximum breaking position of the moving contact 3 is provided with a moving arc plate 101. The side of the arc extinguishing grid group 1 corresponding to the static contact 4 is provided with a static arc plate 102. Specifically, as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 The arc extinguishing grid group 1 is divided into an arc extinguishing grid group one 1a and an arc extinguishing grid group two 1b from the side close to the contact system 2 to the side away from the contact system 2, the arc extinguishing grid group one 1a and the arc extinguishing grid group two 1b are arranged side by side from the side close to the contact system 2 to the side away from the contact system 2, a space one 6 is arranged between the arc extinguishing grid group one 1a and the arc extinguishing grid group two 1b for arranging the arc flow equalizing device 5, and the projections of the arc extinguishing grid group one 1a and the arc extinguishing grid group two 1b on the vertical plane are at least partially overlapped. As shown in the accompanying Figure 2As shown, the arc current equalization device 5 comprises a plurality of ribs 5b, which are preferably arranged in parallel with the arc extinguishing grid 1, and arc passages 501 are arranged between the ribs. The arc passages 501 are preferably evenly arranged between the ribs. As shown in the accompanying Figure 3 As shown, the ribs are preferably cuboids, and both ends thereof are mounted on side plates (not shown in the drawings). Meanwhile, as shown in the accompanying Figure 5 and 4 As shown, the ribs can also be cylinders.

[0038] The arc extinguishing process of the embodiment is as follows: in the initial stage of arc striking, the arc enters the grid along the static arc striking plate 102; in the early stage of arc running, the arc at the static contact end quickly runs to the upper part of the arc extinguishing grid group la close to the static contact 4, and under the action of the arc current equalization device 5, the arc transfer speed at the static end is slowed down, so that the arc at the moving contact end gradually enters the arc extinguishing grid group la; and in the late stage of arc running, under the influence of the arc current equalization device 5, the arc roots at the moving and static ends enter the grid synchronously, so that the arc voltage reaches the maximum in an instant.
