[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a circuit breaker shield structure includes a top plate 1, and four sliding grooves 2 are equidistantly arranged in a ring at the bottom of the top plate 1. Sliding sliders 3 are slidably installed in the sliding grooves 2, and the bottoms of the sliding sliders 3 are all fixedly connected to the housing 4.
[0025] A connecting mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom center point of the top plate 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, the position between the four housings 4 can be changed by setting the connecting mechanism 5, thereby changing the size of the shielding cover, which is convenient to adjust according to the size of the circuit breaker and improves adaptability.
[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting mechanism 5 includes a rotating component 51, which is rotatably mounted at the bottom center point of the top plate 1. Four connecting rods 52 are equidistantly and rotatably mounted on the bottom of the rotating component 51. The four connecting rods 52 are rotatably mounted to four sliders 3 respectively. The top of the rotating component 51 passes through the top plate 1 and is connected to a knob 6. When it is necessary to change the size of the shielding cover, the first bolt 9 on the outside of the housing 4 is loosened, and then the knob 6 is rotated. The knob 6 drives the rotating component 51 to rotate. Due to the setting of the connecting rods 52, the sliders 3 slide inside the slide groove 2, thereby changing the position between the four housings 4. After the adjustment is completed, the first bolt 9 is tightened, which effectively adjusts according to the size of the circuit breaker and improves the adaptability.
[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, each of the four housings 4 has a limiting groove 7 on one side, and a limiting block 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of each of the four housings 4. The limiting block 8 and the limiting groove 7 are compatible. During the adjustment process, the limiting block 8 slides inside the limiting groove 7, which plays a limiting role and improves stability. By tightening the first bolt 9 and squeezing the limiting block 8, the four housings 4 are initially fixed together.
[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the four housings 4 are all threaded with first bolts 9. By tightening the first bolts 9, they are pressed against the limiting block 8, thereby initially fixing the four housings 4 together.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of each of the four housings 4 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 10, and the top of each of the four fixing plates 10 is penetrated by a second bolt 11. The shielding cover is then placed over the outside of the circuit breaker, and finally the fixing plate 10 is fixed to the bottom plate below the circuit breaker using the second bolt 11. The structure is simple and easy to install.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the housing 4 includes a conductive layer 41, an insulating layer 42 attached to one side of the conductive layer 41, a protective layer 43 attached to one side of the insulating layer 42, and an anti-corrosion layer 44 attached to one side of the protective layer 43. The conductive layer 41 is made of silver-plated copper, the insulating layer 42 is made of semi-conductive rubber, the protective layer 43 is made of aluminum alloy, and the anti-corrosion layer 44 is made of nickel-based alloy. The plating thickness is >10µm, the silver-plated copper conductivity is >58MS / m, and it has high electromagnetic reflection and absorption capabilities. It directly wraps around the circuit breaker contacts or arc-extinguishing chamber, closely adhering to the arc-generating area, and rapidly attenuates high-frequency electromagnetic waves through the skin effect. The resistivity of the semi-conductive rubber is controlled at 10 Ω·cm. 3 ~10 6 Ω·cm, blocking the potential difference between conductive layer 41 and protective layer 43 to avoid partial discharge; nickel plating on the outer aluminum alloy provides mechanical strength, resists arc impact and vibration stress, is dustproof and moistureproof, and extends equipment life.
[0032] The above embodiment discloses a circuit breaker shielding structure. When the size of the shielding needs to be changed, the first bolt 9 on the outside of the housing 4 is loosened, and then the knob 6 is rotated. The knob 6 drives the rotating part 51 to rotate. Due to the setting of the connecting rod 52, the slider 3 slides inside the slide groove 2, thereby changing the position between the four housings 4. After adjustment, the first bolt 9 is locked, which effectively adjusts according to the size of the circuit breaker and improves adaptability. During the adjustment process, the limiting block 8 slides inside the limiting groove 7, which plays a limiting role and improves stability. By locking the first bolt 9 and the limiting block 8, the four housings 4 are initially fixed together. Then the shielding is put on the outside of the circuit breaker. Finally, the second bolt 11 is used to fix the fixing plate 10 to the bottom plate below the circuit breaker. The structure is simple and easy to install. The silver-plated copper has a conductivity of >58MS / m and has high electromagnetic reflection and absorption capabilities. It directly wraps the circuit breaker contacts or arc-extinguishing chamber and fits tightly with the arc-generating area. It quickly attenuates high-frequency electromagnetic waves through the skin effect. The resistivity of the semi-conductive rubber is controlled at 10. 3 ~10 6 Ω·cm, blocking the potential difference between conductive layer 41 and protective layer 43 to avoid partial discharge; nickel plating on the outer aluminum alloy provides mechanical strength, resists arc impact and vibration stress, is dustproof and moistureproof, and extends equipment life.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
