A kind of arc-striking structure strengthening self-excitation field intensity
Technical field
The present invention relates to circuit breaker arc striking technical field, particularly relate to a kind of arc-striking structure strengthening self-excitation field intensity.
Background technology
When the dynamic/static contact in circuit breaker is separated because of faults such as circuit are short-circuited, electric arc can be produced between dynamic/static contact, this electric arc has delayed the opening time of switch, reduces the break performance of switch, even can cause the load in circuit and the serious scaling loss of circuit breaker components.
When being separated to make dynamic/static contact, generation electric arc is introduced in grating arc-extinguishing chamber rapidly, smoothly and extinguishes, traditional way is the arc striking piece arranging some On currents in the chamber at dynamic/static contact place, can produce self-excitation magnetic field around arc striking piece after energising, electric arc enters in arc extinguishing grid pieces and carries out arc extinguishing under the guiding in this self-excitation magnetic field.But due to the concrete structure of arc striking piece and the difference of arrangement, the striking effect difference reached is very large.
As Chinese patent document CN201918328U discloses a kind of arc-striking structure of miniature circuit breaker, it comprises arc control device, moving contact, fixed contact, arc striking piece, described arc striking piece is made up of arc striking piece and striking support, and arc striking piece and the split of striking support are arranged, the elongated end of arc striking piece becomes to contact shape with the elongated end of striking support, and makes the contact top of arc striking piece elongated end and striking support elongated end near the lower surface of moving contact.This circuit breaker by by the contact top of arc striking piece elongated end and striking support elongated end near the lower surface of moving contact, reduce distance between the two, and then reinforcement striking effect.But, in actual applications, because striking electric current to be passed to the lower end of striking support from bimetal leaf, then along the upwards conducting of striking support, when current lead-through to the contact point of arc striking piece and striking support time, one part of current is below arc striking piece obliquely motion conducting to arc extinguishing grid pieces, and another part electric current then moves along the elongated end of arc striking piece towards the direction of moving contact.Arc striking piece and striking support, after On current, can produce self-excitation magnetic field respectively around it, two self-excitation magnetic fields superpose rear pilot arc mutually to arc extinguishing indoor sport.
But because arc striking piece in above-mentioned arc-striking structure and striking support are just to setting, both are roughly contrary at the sense of current of contact jaw, and distance is very near, thus cause the self-excitation magnetic field above arc striking piece substantially to be cancelled out each other.This just makes the self-excitation magnetic field of moving to arc control device for pilot arc above both contact positions excessively weak, so, electric arc can produce stagnation behavior in the below of moving contact, and then the speed causing electric arc to move to arc control device slows down, the opening time of switch will be extended, and reduces the break performance of switch.In addition, upper end due to this arc striking piece is also provided with the elongated end extended to moving contact place, the sense of current in this elongated end deviates from arc control device, the direction in its self-excitation magnetic field produced also is that pilot arc moves towards the opposite direction of arc control device, and so, not only this extension does not play the effect promoting striking, hinder electric arc on the contrary to move to arc control device, reduce further striking effect, cause the disconnection poor-performing of switch, especially for some big current circuit more very.
