[0018] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Enlarged diagram of point A in the middle.

[0019] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Enlarged diagram of point B in the middle.

[0020] Figure 4 This is a partial explosion diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A circuit breaker with dual magnetic fields includes a housing 1, within which is an arc-extinguishing chamber 2, an arc-initiating plate 3 for guiding the electric arc into the arc-extinguishing chamber, and opposing moving contacts 4 and stationary contacts 5. It also includes a first magnet 61 disposed within the housing and mounted together with the stationary contact; and a second magnet 62 disposed within the housing and correspondingly mounted below the arc-initiating plate. The Lorentz force of the magnetic field generated by the magnets guides the electric arc, making it easier for it to enter the arc-extinguishing chamber. The simultaneous use of two magnets further enhances the guidance of the arc. When the arc is generated, one end travels along the stationary contact, and the other end along the arc-initiating plate; thus, having magnets at both ends improves the overall performance.

[0022] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the stationary contact includes an arc guide plate 51, and a clamping groove 511 is formed inside the arc guide plate. The first magnet is installed in the clamping groove. Installation is relatively convenient.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first magnet has a cylindrical structure.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a mounting post 11 is provided inside the housing, and the mounting post contacts the circumferential outer wall of the first magnet. This serves to limit movement in multiple directions. The mounting post itself also has rivet holes for the mounting connection of the upper and lower covers, which is existing technology.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first magnet is made of iron, cobalt, and nickel.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a support wall 12 is provided inside the housing, and a stop block 121 is provided on the support wall. The bottom end face of the second magnet contacts the support wall, one side wall contacts the stop block, and the other side wall contacts the inner wall of the housing. Installation is relatively convenient; it can be placed directly on the housing.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a magnetizing plate 7 is also included, which is installed on the back of the arc-initiating plate. It can be made of a material such as iron, can be magnetized by the second magnet, and its length is greater than that of the second magnet, allowing for better cooperation with the arc-initiating plate.

[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a gap groove 71 is provided between the second magnet and the magnetizing plate. The two do not contact each other.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the top end face of the stop block is in contact with the magnetizing plate.
