Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of arc extinguishing devices, and in particular to a single-layer DC arc extinguishing device. Background Technology

[0002] Arc-extinguishing devices are critical equipment used in power systems to quickly extinguish electric arcs and ensure the safe operation of circuits. When a switching device interrupts current, a high-temperature arc is generated between the contacts, which may burn out the equipment or even cause a short circuit. Arc-extinguishing devices use physical or chemical means to accelerate arc cooling and inhibit arc reignition, thereby avoiding danger. Common methods include: Lengthening the arc: using mechanical or electromagnetic forces to lengthen the arc and reduce its temperature; Cooling arc extinguishing: using a gaseous or liquid medium to quickly remove the heat from the arc; and Dividing the arc: dividing the arc into multiple short arcs and using the near-cathode effect to extinguish it.

[0003] Publication number CN220829908U discloses a high-performance arc-extinguishing chamber for electrical switches, comprising a housing and an arc-extinguishing chamber assembly, which work together to perform their function. The arc-extinguishing chamber assembly is located inside the housing and consists of arc-extinguishing chambers. The assembly has three layers inside the housing, each layer containing two independently and symmetrically arranged arc-extinguishing chambers. Guide grids are provided between the symmetrical arc-extinguishing chambers. This multi-layered arc-extinguishing chamber design increases the number of arc-extinguishing grids within the original volume, allowing the arc to be cut by more grids and improving the breaking performance of the switch. However, the large number of grids and the multi-layered grid assembly result in a large arc-extinguishing chamber volume, and the outermost arc is prone to damaging the housing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a single-layer DC arc extinguishing device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a single-layer DC arc extinguishing device, including a shell, two gas generating components, two fixing plates, a plurality of first arc extinguishing grids and an arc ignition plate; the bottom of the shell is provided with an arc inlet, and the two gas generating components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the arc inlet. The electric arc generated by the circuit breaker is extinguished by entering the arc extinguishing device between the two gas generating components; the two fixing plates are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the two gas generating components and fixed to the gas generating components; the feet of the plurality of first arc extinguishing grids are inserted into the corresponding slots on the two gas generating components; it also includes a plurality of second arc extinguishing grids; the plurality of second arc extinguishing grids are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plurality of first arc extinguishing grids along the array direction of the first arc extinguishing grids. The second arc extinguishing grids can further cut the outermost electric arc, thereby protecting the shell and preventing the electric arc from damaging the shell. The upper end of the arc ignition plate extends to the outside of the second arc extinguishing grids and fits against the inner wall of the shell, and is used to guide the electric arc to the area of ​​the first arc extinguishing grids and the second arc extinguishing grids.

[0006] Furthermore, the opposing surfaces of the two gas generating components are provided with snap-fit ​​grooves, and the lower end of the arc-initiating plate is provided with a guide part, which engages in the two snap-fit ​​grooves to make the arc-initiating plate more stable.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing plate is made of high-temperature resistant melamine material, which can withstand the high-temperature impact generated by the electric arc.

[0008] Furthermore, the number of the first arc-extinguishing grid plates is nineteen. By setting the number of the first arc-extinguishing grid plates to nineteen, the voltage range of the arc-extinguishing device can be perfectly matched, and the arc can be cut into multiple segments. While ensuring the overall arc-extinguishing effect of the arc-extinguishing device, the size of the arc-extinguishing device can be reduced.

[0009] Furthermore, four second arc-extinguishing grids are provided on each side of several first arc-extinguishing grids.

[0010] Furthermore, both the first and second arc-extinguishing grid plates are fixed to the fixing plate by plugging in, making disassembly and assembly easier.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the outer shell is provided with three exhaust ports, and the arc extinguishing device also includes four deionizing elements and a mounting component. The top surface of the mounting component is provided with four fixing slots. The three exhaust ports are spaced apart along the array direction of the plurality of first arc extinguishing grids, and the four fixing slots communicate downward with the upper parts of the plurality of first arc extinguishing grids and the plurality of second arc extinguishing grids. The insert blocks on both sides of the mounting component are inserted into the corresponding insertion holes on the two fixing plates. The upper ends of the plurality of first arc extinguishing grids and the plurality of second arc extinguishing grids are inserted into the corresponding slots on the bottom surface of the mounting component. The four deionizing elements are respectively installed in the four fixing slots. After the arc is extinguished by the plurality of first arc extinguishing grids and the plurality of second arc extinguishing grids, the gas generated by the arc extinguishing passes through the mounting component and the four deionizing elements and is discharged from the three exhaust ports. The deionizing elements can eliminate the free arc, thereby improving the arc extinguishing effect.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By setting the number of the first arc-extinguishing grid plates to nineteen, the voltage range of the arc-extinguishing device can be perfectly matched, cutting the arc into multiple segments. This reduces the size of the arc-extinguishing device while ensuring its overall arc-extinguishing effect. The second arc-extinguishing grid plate can further cut the outermost arc, thereby protecting the outer casing and preventing damage from the arc. Attached Figure Description
