Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disconnecting switch technology, and in particular to an arc extinguishing device for a disconnecting switch. Background Technology
[0002] In power systems, disconnect switches are crucial electrical equipment, and their reliable operation is essential for the safety and stability of the system. However, during the opening and closing process of disconnect switches, electric arcs often occur between the moving and stationary contacts. This can not only burn the contacts but also cause equipment failure and even affect the stable operation of the entire power system.
[0003] Traditional arc-extinguishing devices for disconnecting switches, while capable of extinguishing arcs to some extent, often suffer from low arc-extinguishing efficiency and difficulty in effectively removing impurities generated during the arc-extinguishing process. Specifically, some arc-extinguishing devices, due to unreasonable structural design, fail to capture and extinguish the arc quickly, thus affecting arc-extinguishing efficiency and safety. At the same time, impurities such as metal vapor and particles generated during the arc-extinguishing process tend to accumulate inside the device, affecting not only the cleanliness of the arc-extinguishing chamber but also potentially adversely impacting the equipment's service life. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an arc extinguishing device for a disconnecting switch that is efficient, reliable and easy to maintain.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs an arc-extinguishing device for a disconnecting switch, comprising a housing, within which are a moving contact, several stationary contacts, and several arc-extinguishing chambers. The moving contact is disposed within the housing and moves in a circular motion. The stationary contacts are disposed within the housing and cooperate with the moving contact. The arc-extinguishing chambers are arranged along the movement trajectory of the moving contact. A magnet box is provided on the side wall of the housing near the arc-extinguishing chamber, and a permanent magnet is placed inside the magnet box. The housing has a first airflow channel and a second airflow channel at both ends corresponding to the magnet box, for discharging substances attracted by the permanent magnet.
[0006] The beneficial effects of the above structure are as follows: by arranging the arc-extinguishing chamber on the movement trajectory of the moving contact, the arc generated during the opening and closing of the moving and stationary contacts can be quickly captured and extinguished, effectively improving the arc-extinguishing efficiency and safety. The housing has a magnet box on the side wall near the arc-extinguishing chamber, which contains a permanent magnet that can adsorb impurities such as metal vapor and particles generated during the arc-extinguishing process, keeping the arc-extinguishing chamber clean and extending the service life of the equipment. The housing has a first airflow channel and a second airflow channel at both ends of the corresponding magnet box to discharge the substances adsorbed by the permanent magnet, ensuring the effective removal of impurities and preventing impurities from accumulating in the housing, further improving the reliability and stability of the equipment.
[0007] This utility model further comprises a first protrusion and a second protrusion extending outward on the side of the magnet box near the arc-extinguishing chamber. The first protrusion and the second protrusion are located on the upper and lower sides of the magnet box, respectively. The housing is provided with a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion at the positions corresponding to the first protrusion and the second protrusion of the magnet box. The first protrusion and the third protrusion are staggered to form a first airflow channel surrounding the top of the magnet box, and the second protrusion and the fourth protrusion are staggered to form a second airflow channel surrounding the bottom of the magnet box. Through the staggered arrangement of the first and third protrusions and the second and fourth protrusions, a clear airflow path is formed, namely the first airflow channel and the second airflow channel, so that the airflow forms an effective circulation around the magnet box, enhancing the airflow guidance and helping to more efficiently discharge the material attracted by the permanent magnet.
[0008] This invention further features a movable contact positioned within the central region of the housing, moving in a circular motion around that central region. By placing the movable contact within the central region of the housing, the space utilization of the entire arc-extinguishing device becomes more rational. This layout achieves effective movement of the movable contact within the limited space of the housing, thus improving space utilization.
[0009] This invention is further configured such that the stationary contacts are respectively arranged on the central axis of the housing, and are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the axis of the housing. When the moving contact separates from the stationary contact, the generated arc will rapidly spread into the arc-extinguishing chamber. The mirror-symmetrical arrangement of the stationary contacts helps the arc to be more evenly distributed in the arc-extinguishing chamber, allowing the arc-extinguishing grid to cut and cool the arc more effectively, thereby improving the arc-extinguishing performance.
[0010] This invention is further configured such that an arc-extinguishing grid is provided within the arc-extinguishing chamber, the grid being used to cut and cool the electric arc, and the arc-extinguishing chamber is arranged in a mirror-symmetrical layout. The arc-extinguishing grid can cut a long electric arc into multiple short arcs, each with relatively low voltage and energy, making them easier to extinguish. The mirror-symmetrical layout of the arc-extinguishing chambers allows the electric arc to be more evenly distributed within each chamber during diffusion. Each arc-extinguishing grid within the chamber effectively cuts and cools the arc, thereby improving the overall arc-extinguishing efficiency.
[0011] This utility model is further configured with a housing comprising an outer shell, a housing cover mounted on the outer shell, and an upper cover disposed on the assembly of the outer shell and the housing cover. A slot is provided at the connection between the outer shell and the housing cover, and an observation window is embedded within the slot. The upper cover has a slot corresponding to the position of the observation window. The observation window allows personnel to directly observe the internal working status and component condition of the arc-extinguishing device through the window without disassembling the housing.
