[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an arc-extinguishing device with a fan-shaped layout to solve the problems existing in the current arc-extinguishing device and improve the arc-extinguishing efficiency and performance.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fan-shaped arc extinguishing device includes two mounting plates and a plurality of arc extinguishing grids fixed between the two mounting plates. The plurality of arc extinguishing grids are arranged in a fan-shaped layout. One side of each arc extinguishing grid is provided with a trapezoidal slot for a moving contact to extend into.

[0005] The gas-generating plate is composed of a first arc-shaped part located on the inner arc and a second arc-shaped part located on the outer arc. The second arc-shaped part has an inclined air blowing surface, so that the distance between the air blowing surfaces of the two gas-generating plates gradually increases from the inside to the outside.

Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] An arc-extinguishing device with a fan-shaped layout includes two mounting plates 1 and a plurality of arc-extinguishing grid plates 2 fixed between the two mounting plates 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, several arc-extinguishing grid plates 2 are arranged in a fan-shaped layout, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the arc-extinguishing grid plate 2 has a trapezoidal slot 201 on one side for the moving contact to extend into; the arc-extinguishing grid plate 2 has a slit assembly on the side with the trapezoidal slot 201, the slit assembly including two gas-generating plates 3, and a slit for the moving contact to extend into is formed between the two gas-generating plates 3, as shown. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the gas generating plate 3 is arc-shaped and its center coincides with the center of the fan-shaped distribution of the arc extinguishing grid plate 2. The outer arc edge of the gas generating plate 3 extends to the space between the arc extinguishing grid plates 2 and is provided with several insertion slots 301 for the front end of the arc extinguishing grid plate 2 to be inserted.
[0026] In this embodiment, during installation, the moving contact extends into the slit and the moving point enters the trapezoidal slot. The stationary contact is installed on one side of several arc-extinguishing grid plates 2 and cooperates with the moving contact to realize the opening and closing action. Figure 1In the diagram, the dotted line represents the movement path of the moving contact after assembly. When the circuit breaker is opened, the generated arc is located in the trapezoidal slot, allowing the arc to enter the arc-extinguishing grid area without obstruction. This ensures precise positioning of the arc's starting position, enabling omnidirectional arc capture and significantly improving initial arc-extinguishing efficiency, resulting in more comprehensive and effective arc capture and cutting. Furthermore, the gas-generating plate extending to the arc-extinguishing grid is a major highlight of this device. The arc-shaped design of the gas-generating plate perfectly matches the fan-shaped layout of the arc-extinguishing grid, with its outer arc edge cleverly inserted between the grids, forming a tight and orderly structure. The gas-generating plate is not merely an auxiliary component but a key element that fully interacts with the arc. When an arc is generated in the trapezoidal slot, the gas-generating plate quickly interacts with the arc, generating a large amount of gas. This gas creates strong pressure within the confined space, producing a powerful blowing effect that further propels the arc rapidly deeper into the arc-extinguishing grid. During this process, the electric arc is continuously stretched and cooled, accelerating the dissipation of its energy and thus achieving rapid extinguishing.
[0027] Specifically, the gas-generating plate 3 is composed of a first arc-shaped portion 302 located on the inner arc and a second arc-shaped portion 303 located on the outer arc. The second arc-shaped portion 303 has an inclined air-blowing surface 304, so that the distance between the air-blowing surfaces 304 of the two gas-generating plates 3 gradually increases from the inside to the outside. The insertion port 301 is located on the second arc-shaped portion 303. Furthermore, the air-blowing surface 304 is curved, and the air-blowing surfaces 304 of the two gas-generating plates 3 form an "eight" shape. This design makes the air-blowing effect more concentrated and powerfully directed towards the arc-escape direction, and can more efficiently push the arc to move deeper into the arc-extinguishing grid. At the same time, the insertion port on the gas-generating plate allows the front end of the arc-extinguishing grid to be inserted, which not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also ensures a tight fit between the gas-generating plate and the arc-extinguishing grid, making the entire arc-extinguishing process smooth and efficient.
[0028] Furthermore, the depth of the socket 301 is less than the width of the air blowing surface 304. This allows the effective area of the air blowing surface 304 to more effectively cover the generated electric arc, preventing the electric arc from dissipating in the opposite direction into the switch.
[0029] Furthermore, a magnet 4 is fixed on the first arc-shaped portion 302, which can generate a magnetic field and exert an electromagnetic force on the electric arc, further guiding the movement and dispersion of the electric arc and improving the arc extinguishing effect.
[0030] Two magnets 4 are provided, and the two magnets 4 are respectively positioned close to both ends of the arc. The two magnets 4 can form a uniform magnetic field, which can generate a strong arc-inducing effect throughout the entire circuit breaker opening process.
[0031] Specifically, the gas-generating plate 3 is fixed to the mounting plate 1, and the first arc-shaped portion 302 fits against the mounting plate 1 as follows: Figure 5As shown, the back of the mounting plate 1 has a groove 305 adapted to the magnet 4, and the magnet 4 is located in the groove 305. The mounting plate 1 limits the movement of the magnet 4. The first arc-shaped portion 302 has a screw hole 306, and the mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to the first arc-shaped portion 302 by bolts. This makes assembly more convenient.
[0032] Furthermore, the depth of the trapezoidal slot 201 is greater than that of the insertion slot 301.
[0033] Furthermore, it also includes an arc-initiating plate 5, which is disposed on one side of several arc-extinguishing grid plates 2 and arranged in a fan-shaped layout with the arc-extinguishing grid plates 2. The arc-initiating plate 5 has an arc-initiating portion 501 extending between two gas-generating plates 3. The arc-initiating portion 501 is used to cooperate with the moving contact at the open position to initiate an arc. In actual assembly, the arc-initiating plate 5 and the stationary contact are respectively located on both sides of the arc-extinguishing grid plates 2 arranged in a fan shape. The stationary contact of the stationary contact needs to be located between the two gas-generating plates and cooperate with the moving contact. The arc-initiating portion 501 of the arc-initiating plate 5 can cooperate with the moving contact that has moved to the open position when the circuit is opened, quickly introducing the arc remaining on the moving contact into the arc-extinguishing area, further improving the arc-extinguishing effect of the entire arc-extinguishing device.
[0034] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
