Technical Field

Background
The Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is an important electrical component in industrial and civil low-voltage distribution equipment, and is often applied to the tail end of a low-voltage distribution system to protect overload and short-circuit faults of a distribution line. The short-circuit fault protection is the most important function, and because the short-circuit current of a line is very large during short-circuit fault, plasma electric arcs with very large energy can be generated between a moving contact and a static contact of the breaker when the breaker breaks the short-circuit current, the electric arcs can be quickly extinguished only through a preset arc extinguishing component, and the breaker can complete the task of breaking the short-circuit current.
At present, MCBs at home and abroad adopt an arc extinguishing chamber technology to cool and extinguish high-temperature and high-voltage electric arcs generated when short-circuit current is disconnected, and the arc extinguishing principle of the technology is as follows: when the short-circuit current is cut off, after the electric arc is generated between the moving contact and the static contact and is stretched to a certain length and the energy is correspondingly amplified, the high-energy electric arc is driven to enter the arc extinguish chamber by adopting magnetic field electrodynamic force or other modes, so that the high-energy electric arc is extinguished under the cooling action of the metal grid sheet in the arc extinguish chamber. The arc extinguishing effect of the method is influenced by factors such as arc extinguishing chamber materials, contact opening speed, contact opening distance, contact materials and the like, particularly for the circuit breaker with a single-breakpoint structure, the capacity of breaking short-circuit current is poor, the capacity of breaking the short-circuit current is generally not more than 230V of alternating current and 6kA of the alternating current, and the direct-current short-circuit current is not easy to break due to the fact that a zero-crossing process does not exist.
With the construction and development of a power grid and the improvement of the reliability requirement of people on the power grid, a new arc extinguishing scheme is objectively needed to greatly improve the capacity of the MCB for breaking the short-circuit current.

The electric arc is extinguished in an insulation shielding mode, so that the capacity of breaking the short-circuit current of the MCB is greatly improved.

When short-circuit current occurs in a circuit, because the current directions of the static contact 1 and the moving contact 2 are opposite, electric repulsion force is generated to repel the static contact 1 and the moving contact 2, meanwhile, because the U-shaped magnetic yoke 7 generates electromagnetic attraction force on the armature 6 after being magnetized by the short-circuit current, the armature 6, the driving swing rod 13 and the rotating handle 14 overcome the elasticity of the torsion spring 5 to generate clockwise rotation, so that the insulating arc extinguishing device with the four-bar structure is driven to act, and the insulating shielding plate 4 of the insulating arc extinguishing device is rapidly inserted between the moving contact 2 and the static contact 1 while the moving contact and the static contact are repelled, thereby achieving the purpose of. Meanwhile, the magnetic tripping push rod 10 of the MCB pushes the tripping mechanism 9 (mature design) to rotate clockwise around the locking pin shaft B to realize tripping and disconnection, and the handle 16 is positioned at the switch opening position to finish the breaking process of the MCB. The arc extinguish chamber 15 is designed originally and does not influence the insulating arc extinguish mechanism. And after the short-circuit current disappears, the insulating arc-extinguishing device returns to the original position.
The insulation shielding plate 4 is made of high-strength and high-temperature-resistant engineering plastic materials. The number of times (3 times at most) of effectively breaking the short-circuit current specified by the product standard can be ensured.

The operating principle of the tripping mechanism 9 is as follows:
before a short-circuit fault current occurs in a power distribution system and the short-circuit current does not reach a peak value, an electric repulsion force is generated between a moving contact and a static contact due to the fact that the directions of currents on straight sections of the moving contact 2 and the static contact 1 are opposite, the moving contact 2 overcomes the torsion action of a torsion spring 8 under the action of an electric force, firstly rotates clockwise around a rotating shaft A of the moving contact and repels the static contact 1, and meanwhile, an insulating arc extinguishing mechanism acts, so that the short-circuit current is effectively limited at the initial stage of the short-circuit fault; then, a magnetic tripping push rod 10 in a coil of the magnetic backup protection tripping device rapidly drives a lock catch 9-1 in a tripping mechanism 9 to rotate clockwise around a lock catch pin B under the action of a magnetic field, at the moment, the lock catch 9-1 and a trip catch 9-3 are disconnected at the lap joint of a point D (see figure 6), the trip catch 9-3 rotates clockwise around a trip catch pin C after losing support, a moving contact rocker 9-2 loses support of a connecting rod 9-4 at the same time, and rotates clockwise around the lock catch pin B under the action of a tension spring 9-5, the tripping mechanism 9 integrally moves clockwise, and a switch is disconnected. Before the short-circuit current reaches the maximum value, the repulsive force between the moving contact and the static contact is repelled in advance, so that the purpose of improving the short-circuit breaking capacity is achieved.
Due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the MCB can achieve the following technical progress:
