Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of arc prevention for power distribution cabinets, specifically a protection structure for power distribution boxes. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of safe electricity use, distribution boxes play a crucial role. They house air switches and circuit breakers, the two core components of the distribution box and the primary electrical safeguards for safe electricity use. Molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) are specifically designed to detect leakage current in the circuit. Once a leakage current exceeds a predetermined safe range (typically set at 30mA), the MCCB automatically cuts off the circuit within a very short time, effectively preventing electric shock accidents. This function makes MCCBs an indispensable piece of equipment for household electrical safety. To ensure safe and stable household electricity use, multiple branch switches and circuit breakers need to be installed in the distribution box according to different electricity areas and appliance types. Properly configuring the air switches and circuit breakers in the distribution box not only ensures safe and stable electricity use but also effectively extends the lifespan of electrical equipment.
[0003] In the distribution box, arc-extinguishing baffles need to be installed on the upper and lower ends of each molded case circuit breaker. If arc-extinguishing baffles are not installed, debris will fall onto the surface of the circuit breaker, forming a two-phase short circuit. The arc between the two phases will cause a short circuit. The arc-extinguishing baffles effectively block the arc and protect the safety of the distribution box.
[0004] Arc-extinguishing baffles come in various sizes, depending on the current. The size of the baffle to be installed also varies. During installation, different sizes of arc-extinguishing baffles need to be selected based on the surrounding environment of the molded case circuit breaker to isolate the two phases. Currently, arc-extinguishing baffles are a single, fixed structure, and different sizes can only be replaced according to actual use. This necessitates different sized arc-extinguishing baffles for different distribution box configurations.
[0005] In summary, this utility model provides a protection structure for a distribution box to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

One end of the side spring piece 202 is fixedly connected to the end of the extension plate body 201 away from the opening, and the other end is equipped with a buckle strip 203. Locking side plates 6 are respectively installed on both sides of the arc-extinguishing baffle 1, and one side of the side spring piece 202 is movably disposed in the locking side plate 6.
[0031] As one embodiment of this utility model, the arc-extinguishing baffle 1 has guide grooves 4 respectively opened in the middle of both sides, and the limiting protrusions 204 are installed on the inner walls of both ends of the extension plate 201 near the opening, and are slidably connected with the guide grooves 4.
[0032] As one embodiment of the present invention, the locking side plate 6 includes a side baffle 601, which is fixedly connected to one side of the arc extinguishing baffle 1. Adjustment inner channels are respectively opened on the side of the side baffle 601 near the side upright spring piece 202, and the adjustment inner channels are arranged along the vertical direction of the side baffle 601.
[0033] As one embodiment of this utility model, multiple snap-fit slots 602 are respectively opened on the inner wall of the adjusting inner channel, and the snap-fit strip 203 is movably snapped in the snap-fit slot 602. The end of the side spring piece 202 away from the snap-fit strip 203 does not contact the adjusting inner channel.
[0034] As one embodiment of this utility model, the adjusting inner channel is set on the side of the side baffle 601 away from the arc extinguishing baffle 1, and the snap-fit groove 602 is set at equal intervals along the length direction of the adjusting inner channel.
[0035] As one embodiment of this utility model, the two buckle strips 203 on the same side of the arc extinguishing baffle 1 are fixedly connected by a pressing linkage plate 3. The pressing linkage plate 3 is set on the surface of the extension plate 201 and has a gap with the extension plate 201.
