[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A dual-contact circuit breaker includes a housing 1, within which are disposed a stationary contact 2, two arc-extinguishing chambers 3, and a rotatably mounted bracket. A moving contact 5 is mounted on the bracket, and an arc-running channel 10 is formed between the moving contact and the arc-extinguishing chambers. The stationary contact includes a first stationary contact 21 and a second stationary contact 22 connected in parallel in the circuit. The moving contact includes a first moving contact 51 and a second moving contact 52 connected in parallel in the circuit. The first moving contact is disposed opposite to the first stationary contact, and the second moving contact is disposed opposite to the second stationary contact. A partition 6 is disposed between the two arc-extinguishing chambers, and part of the partition is disposed within the arc-running channel, dividing it into upper and lower chambers 101. The bracket used to mount the moving contact is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. Directing the two arcs into the two arc-extinguishing chambers facilitates arc extinguishing. The bracket drives the moving contact to open and close, achieving high synchronization. The wiring configuration is: left terminal - trip unit - stationary contact - moving contact - right terminal, where the stationary and moving contacts are two sets of switches connected in parallel. The partition not only isolates the two arc-extinguishing chambers but also divides the arc-running channel into two chambers, allowing the arc to enter each chamber separately.
[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, an arc-initiating plate 7 is also included, which comprises a first dividing plate 71 and a second dividing plate 72. The first dividing plate and the second dividing plate are disposed on both sides of the partition plate. The first dividing plate is disposed below one of the arc-extinguishing chambers, and the second dividing plate is disposed below the other arc-extinguishing chamber. This serves to guide the electric arc into the arc-extinguishing chamber.
[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a riveting post 11 is provided inside the housing, and a mounting hole 61 corresponding to the riveting post is provided on the partition plate. The riveting post has a second mounting hole that mates with the mounting hole for riveting. This riveting post is used to install the upper and lower covers; this technology already exists, but this feature is utilized. Of course, a dedicated riveting post could also be provided independently.
[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a groove 53 is provided between the first moving contact and the second moving contact.
[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the stationary contact includes a first arc-shaped plate 23 and a second arc-shaped plate 24, which are disposed on both sides of the partition. The structure is simple and can be adapted to two types of arc-extinguishing chambers.
[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the tail end of the first arc-shaped plate faces the arc-extinguishing chamber. This facilitates the entry of the electric arc into the arc-extinguishing chamber. The second arc-shaped plate has the same structure as the first arc-shaped plate.
[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a support block 66 is provided on the partition plate, and the support block contacts the inner wall of the first arc-shaped plate. This provides better support for the first arc-shaped plate.
