技术领域
本申请涉及低压电器技术领域,具体涉及一种用于电的开关中熄灭电弧的灭弧装置及电的开关。
背景技术
随着新能源装备的大功率化,对于开关的性能要求越来越高,尤其是电压等级越来越高,系统已经达到1200V以上,开关在分断高电压、大电流或高电压下的临界电流时所产生的电弧如何熄灭是制约开关性能的一个重要指标。
现有单极开关在分断500V以上等级电压的电流时,一是高电压的电弧在临界电流或小电流时具有弧柱小而温度高以及具有黏性的特点,很难利用洛伦兹力使很长的引弧片进入灭弧装置中的灭弧栅片组件中去,未进入灭弧栅片组件内的电弧将会持续燃烧而导致开关烧毁。二是由于灭弧栅片组件内的去游离或冷却及拉长电弧作用的栅片数量受开关高度限制,导致近极压降低或近阴极效应低,不能熄灭故障大电流,导致整套电力装备损坏。相关技术多采用多断口串连方法来解决上述问题,但是,多端口串联方法会造成开关的体积大、成本高、功耗高以及性能差等问题。
因此,亟需一种新的技术方案,提高灭弧性能、减少开关体积、提高寿命、降低功耗。
发明内容
基于上述背景,本申请提供一种用于电的开关中熄灭电弧的灭弧装置,能够至少部分地解决相关技术中开关的体积大、成本高、功耗高以及性能差等问题。
在第一方面中,本申请提供了一种用于电的开关中熄灭电弧的灭弧装置。该灭弧装置至少包括灭弧栅片组件、动触头、静触头、绝缘外壳,动触头与静触头在刚打开分离时产生初始电弧柱,动触头与静触头在打开分离产生最大开距时产生终点电弧柱,灭弧栅片组件至少包括多枚相互空气绝缘的金属灭弧栅片,灭弧栅片组件中的多枚金属灭弧栅片层叠排列后呈至少一个弯折结构且多枚金属灭弧栅片直接或间接地沿绝缘外壳内至少两个相邻的内侧排列,静触头呈至少一个弯折结构状,灭弧栅片组件形成的灭弧通道长度L1大于动触头与静触头在打开分离时产生最大的开距长度L2,设于灭弧栅片组件第一端的第一金属灭弧栅片紧挨或邻近静触头上的一弯折导体,且也紧挨或邻近初始电弧柱设置,第一金属灭弧栅片与弯折导体的延伸方向相同或呈夹角。
以此方式,使得同等体积大小的开关中可以布置更多的灭弧栅片,在动触头和静触头分离时产生的电弧能够在电弧的磁场及静触头的磁场作用下快速吹向灭弧室进行扩散消游离,电弧在极短的时间内熄灭,大幅提升灭弧装置的灭弧性能。
在第二方面中,本申请还提供一种电的开关,该电的开关包括本申请的第一方面的灭弧装置。
本申请的有益效果如下:
1.本申请在电的开关的一个开关断口内将灭弧装置的灭弧栅片组件布置成长短结构,将短侧的灭弧栅片组件平行并紧挨或邻近设置在静触头上的折弯导体侧以及动触头、静触头打开时的起弧处,利用静触头上的电磁场和电弧弧柱的电磁场感应到第一金属灭弧栅片上,使第一金属灭弧栅片得到磁场,将电弧引入金属灭弧栅片中,吹向灭弧栅片组件内,实现了小体积的单断口高电压开关的电弧在磁场作用下引入灭弧栅片,提高电弧分断能力。
2.将金属灭弧栅片布置在与绝缘外壳邻近的两个或三个内侧,使金属灭弧栅片数量大为增加,使开关的单个断口能分断500V以上电压的额定电流和故障电流,与相关技术方案中的灭弧栅片布置在绝缘外壳一侧的多断口串连方法相比,体积更小、成本更低。
3.在单断口内增加布置更多的灭弧栅片,比多断口的开关功耗降低,节约了能源并增加了效益。
4.采用在绝缘外壳内的两个方向布置更多的灭弧栅片,使开关的断口少,防止出现多对动触头、静触头的终压力和超程不同造成触点烧损二影响接通效果,提高了开关的使用寿命。

具体实施方式
下面将详细描述本申请的各个方面的特征和示例性实施例。在下面的详细描述中,提出了许多具体细节,以便提供对本申请的全面理解。但是,对于本领域技术人员来说很明显的是,本申请可以在不需要这些具体细节中的一些细节的情况下实施。下面对实施例的描述仅仅是为了通过示出本申请的示例来提供对本申请的更好的理解。本申请决不限于下面所提出的任何具体配置和算法,而是在不脱离本申请的精神的前 提下覆盖了元素、部件和算法的任何修改、替换和改进。在附图和下面的描述中,没有示出公知的结构和技术,以便避免对本申请造成不必要的模糊。
开关对电流进行分断的功能主要是通过安装在开关中的灭弧栅片组件完成的。一种已知的灭弧装置中的磁性金属灭弧栅片距离动触头、静触头的引弧区较远,都利用较长的引弧件来将电弧引入磁性金属灭弧栅片,而高电压的电弧具有弧柱小而温度高和具有黏性,在分离临界电流时,静触头或/和电弧产生的磁场通过很长的引弧件感应到的磁性金属灭弧栅片的磁场很微小,不能产生吹弧作用而导致分断电弧失败。
已知的解决办法采用多断口串连接的方法去解决高电压下的直流分断临界电流问题,这增加了体积和成本,也不适应新能源电力装置的小体积、大功率的发展需求。
已知采用双断点或多极串联的解决办法,使开关内阻增大、功耗大、多对动触头、静触头的终压力和超程不一样,总有一对动触头、静触头先烧损,影响触点的接通效果,降低开关的使用寿命。
在光伏发电领域中的电力装备如1000V及以上直流不接地电力系统中,有时会产生接地的故障,单极开关需要分断装置来满足全电压、2倍以下额定电流的要求,已知的低压开关灭弧装置或灭弧室,因为金属灭弧栅片数量少,难以将如此高电压下的电弧进行切割和冷却,使近极压降大于电源端电压值,电弧不能熄灭,已知的解决方法也是将多个断口进行串连,大体积、高成本、寿命低的问题一直存在。因此,亟需一种新的引弧技术和灭弧技术,来提升灭弧性能、减少体积、降低成本和提高使用寿命。
本申请公开的实施例提供了一种用于电的开关中熄灭电弧的灭弧装置。在公开的一些实施例中,不同开关的动触头、静触头配对的不同形状设置,通过电流时会产生洛伦兹力或/和霍姆力;在公开的一些实施例中,灭弧栅片组件充分利用洛伦兹力或/和霍姆力驱动各种等离子体,使电弧消游离速度加快,使灭弧效果更好。在公开的一些实施例中,灭弧栅片组件由多枚相互空气绝缘且导磁的金属灭弧栅片层叠排列后呈弯折结构,灭弧栅片组件的第一端(即初始端)的第一金属灭弧栅片分别与初始电弧柱和静触头邻近或紧挨设置,这里邻近指第一金属灭弧栅片与静触头上的折弯导体间距非常小,紧挨则指第一金属灭弧栅片与静触头上的折弯导体接触,当动触头和静触头分离时产生初始电弧柱,此时的初始电弧柱、静触头的弯折导体以及第一金属灭 弧栅片基本处于平行,此时初始电弧柱和静触头都产生电磁场,在磁场作用下将第一金属灭弧栅片磁化,金属灭弧栅片释放磁场,此时电弧柱又受到磁场的作用力,在洛伦兹力或/和霍姆力的作用下向金属灭弧栅片移动,第一金属灭弧栅片后方的金属灭弧栅片依次传递磁场,使整个灭弧装置都产生吹弧效应。在灭弧装置的末端的金属灭弧栅片与终点电弧柱邻近或紧挨设置,金属灭弧栅片上的电弧、电弧等离子以及热等离子在磁场的作用下,喷向动触头的引弧角,使静触头、灭弧装置以及动触头之间形成一个消游离回路,使近极压降或近阴极效应大幅度提升,使电弧迅速熄灭。弯折结构的灭弧栅片组件与动触头运动轨迹结构呈一个下宽上窄空间,在下宽的空间结构成一个电弧冷却区和电弧扩散区,使电弧在弯折处迅速扩散,使电弧柱在弯折处变得长而宽,使电弧的弧根滞后,电弧的弧结构变得大而粗,由于低温空气与高温空气交换加快,电弧的温度随之降低,使电弧的黏性也变低,电弧进入灭弧栅片更加顺畅。

以此方式,通过初始电弧和静触头300的电磁场产生磁吹作用于第一金属灭弧栅片501,迅速将电弧转移至灭弧栅片;终点电弧柱1002产生的电磁场与动触头200的电场强度驱动等离子运动使电弧喷向动触头200;折弯结构的灭弧组件结构与动触头200的运动轨迹之间形成电弧扩散冷却区,使电弧柱变大而粗且提前于弧根,使电弧温度迅速下降进而黏性迅速降低,这样电弧的散热条件好,则电弧弧柱去游离过程强,弧柱电位梯度就高,近极压降或近阴极效应很强,特别有利于500V及以上电压的临界电流的熄灭和故障大电流的分断,使灭弧性能得到很大的提升。
进一步地,请继续参考图1,第一灭弧栅片组件510中金属灭弧栅片的排列方向为第一方向,第二灭弧栅片组件520中金属灭弧栅片的排列方向为第二方向,第一方向和第二方向呈锐角设置,本实施例中,第二灭弧栅片组件520沿第二方向上的长度大于第一灭弧栅片组件510沿第一方向上的长度,第二灭弧栅片组件520中远离第一灭弧栅片组件510的部分金属灭弧栅片向动触头200所在方向倾斜排列。
第一方向与第二方向也可以呈直角或钝角设置,设置角度不同,灭弧栅片组件形成的形状不同,可根据动触头200、静触头300的具体结构布置进行合理设置。
第一灭弧栅片组件510自邻近或紧挨折弯导体310的第一金属灭弧栅片501依次向远离折弯导体310的方向排列,第一灭弧栅片组件510中靠近折弯导体310的相邻两个金属灭弧栅片之间部分平行设置,靠近第二灭弧栅片组件520的相邻两金属灭弧栅片之间呈夹角设置,与第二灭弧栅片组件520衔接,以形成折弯状的弧形结构的灭弧栅片组件,有利于各个金属灭弧栅片的延长面相交在动触头200所在方向,有利于电弧更快进入灭弧室。
第二灭弧栅片组件520靠近第一灭弧栅片组件510的部分金属灭弧栅片中相 邻两个金属灭弧栅片之间呈夹角设置,以实现与第一灭弧栅片组件510的过渡衔接,共同形成折弯,第二灭弧栅片组件520过折弯后的金属灭弧栅片组件以夹角、平行复合方式排列,在远离第一灭弧栅片组件510的部分,即第二灭弧栅片组件520上部的部分金属灭弧栅片依次向靠近打开最大开距时的动触头200靠拢,从而在动触头200打开最大开距时,动触头200上的电弧可以快速地转移到第二灭弧栅片组件520顶部的金属灭弧栅片上,加快电弧的转移,拉长电弧,提高灭弧装置1000的灭弧性能。
在其他的实施例中,第二灭弧栅片组件520上部的金属灭弧栅片还可以呈角度排列,形成弧形结构,以与打开最大开距时的动触头200靠近,可以实现相同的技术效果。
图1所示的实施例中,呈锐角设置的灭弧栅片组件,其锐角为尖角设置,经试验所得尖角α角度范围:30°<α≤75°为可选值,对比图2所示夹角β,75°<β<90°,在相同条件下角度α为尖角设置时尖角状能够布置更多数量的金属灭弧栅片,更大程度的拉长电弧,增加电弧运动距离,可以增加锐角处的场强,使电弧在高场强的作用下更加容易进入灭弧栅片中进行去游离工作,尖角状还增加锐角前方空间面积,使空气等离子数量增加并使热等离子热游离速度加快,增强电弧去游离作用。
图1所示的实施例中,静触头300的折弯导体310与长边320大致垂直设置,折弯导体310与绝缘外壳400的第一内侧401大致垂直,长边320沿第一内侧401布置。
如图3所示,静触头300与动触头200相接触之处分别固设有静触头合金触点312、动触头合金触点214,在静触头300和动触头200上设置合金触点可以降低动触头200、静触头300的电阻率、提高动触头200、静触头300之间的导电性能,同时合金触点具有耐高温、不易磨损、抗氧化等优点,可以用于分断大电流的耐电弧烧损。
在其他的实施例中,静触头还可以设置成其他的结构形式,如图4提供的静触头的第二种结构形式,该结构形式中,静触头300的折弯导体310与长边320呈45°角设置,折弯导体310朝靠近动触头200的旋转中心方向倾斜;图5提供了静触头的第三种结构形式,该结构形式中,静触头300的折弯导体310与长边320呈45°角设置,折弯导体310朝远离动触头200的旋转中心方向倾斜;再如图6提供了静触头的第四种结构形式,该结构形式中,静触头300的折弯导体310与长边320平行设置,该结构形式中的静触头300和动触头200分别固设有静触头合金触点312、动触头合金触点214,该合金触点的好处与上述合金触点相同。静触头300的折弯结构设置, 可以改变静触头300中电流的流动方向,从而可以增加施加于电弧的电动力,有助于电弧的转移。图7提供了第五种结构形式的静触头,图8是图7中的A-A截面图,该结构形式中,静触头300为夹头式,动触头200通过插入和拔出静触头300的夹头,实现动触头200与静触头300的导通与分离。夹头状结构设置有益于动触头200在耐受大电流时不被洛伦兹力所斥开。
下面结合图9、图10、图11和图12进一步描述第一金属灭弧栅片501如何将电弧吸引到金属灭弧栅片上,达到将电弧快速引入灭弧装置1000中的效果。
如图9和图10所示,当开关中通一电流I时,电流I从静触头300流向动触头200时,依据“右手螺旋定则”可知,静触头300上方的磁场方向为从内向外,此时在静触头300上方的金属灭弧栅片受到磁场FF的作用,由图10可知,金属灭弧栅片被磁场FF穿过并磁化,金属灭弧栅片内部磁场FF1与磁场FF方向相同,在磁场FF1作用下金属灭弧栅片开口处产生了磁场GG,磁场GG与磁场FF1反向,当动触头200和静触头300分离时产生初始电弧柱1001,受到距离很近的第一金属灭弧栅片501开口处磁场GG的作用,依据“左手定则”可知,初始电弧柱1001在洛伦兹力F的作用下向第一金属灭弧栅片501移动。
如图11和图12所示,当开关中通一电流I时,电流I从动触头200流向静触头300时,依据“右手螺旋定则”可知,静触头300上方的磁场方向为从外向内,此时在静触头300上方的金属灭弧栅片受到磁场FF的作用,由图12可知,金属灭弧栅片被磁场FF穿过并磁化,金属灭弧栅片内部磁场FF1与磁场FF方向相同,在磁场FF1作用下金属灭弧栅片开口处产生了磁场GG,磁场GG与磁场FF1反向,当动触头200和静触头300分离时产生电弧初始电弧柱1001,此时初始电弧柱1001受到距离很近的第一金属灭弧栅片501开口处磁场GG的作用,依据“左手定则”可知,初始电弧柱1001在洛伦兹力F的作用下向第一金属灭弧栅片501移动。
由以上分析可知,当开关中通电时,位于静触头300上方的金属灭弧栅片在电磁场的作用下都会对电弧产生向金属灭弧栅片运动的作用力,促进电弧更快速地进入灭弧系统中,从而快速灭弧。
在一些实施例中,如图13至图15所示,静触头300的合金触点与第一金属灭弧栅片501之间设置有一个较短且结构形态不同的导弧件540,导弧件540沿第一方向的长度X1不超过第一灭弧栅片组件510沿第一方向上长度的50%。当第一金属灭弧 栅片501与折弯导体310邻近设置而不接触时,可以通过导弧件540实现电弧的快速转移。满足了有些结构并不能使电弧直接进入灭弧栅片中,通过设置不同形态的导弧件540导引电弧向灭弧栅片运动,促使电弧快速进入灭弧室中。
在一些实施例中,动触头200还可以有其他结构。
如图16提供的动触头200,动触头200自旋转中心201向一端延伸,动触头200的端部形成有与静触头300接触的凸起213和用于引弧用的凸起引弧部,凸起213与凸起引弧部延伸反向不同,动触头200大致呈L形。凸起231具有可在一定程度上替代动触头200上的动触点的作用,有助于降低成本。
如图17、图18所示,动触头200一端部形成有与静触头300相接触的一凸起电接触部211、与凸起电接触部211相反方向再设置一个凸起引弧部212,凸起电接触部211、凸起引弧部212向两侧伸出,使得动触头200呈T形状。T形状易于加工,有利于控制成本。
如图19、图20、图21、图22提供了一种L形夹头式的动触头结构,图23是图19、图20、图21以及图22中的B-B截面图,图19、图20与图21、图22“L”头部方向相反,动触头200与静触头300相接触之处为夹头状,动触头200通过插在静触头300两侧,实现动触头200与静触头300的导通,动触头200拔出静触头300,实现动触头200与静触头300的分离,夹头状结构设置有益于动触头200在耐受大电流时不被洛伦兹力所斥开。
图17、图19、图21为动触头的运动轨迹示意图,凸起引弧部212的旋转半径R1大于或等于凸起电接触部211的旋转半径R2,在动触头200运动过程中凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片之间距离逐渐减小,吸引电弧向凸起引弧部212转移,引导电弧向灭弧栅片组件内运动。
图18、图20、图22为动触头的运动轨迹示意图,凸起引弧部212的旋转半径R1小于凸起电接触部211的旋转半径R2,在动触头200的运动过程中,凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片之间距离先由大变小,引导电弧向凸起引弧部212转移,在动触头200运动到最大开距处时,凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片之间的距离D1大于凸起电接触部211与金属灭弧栅片之间的距离D2。
此应用在电弧能量较小时可能会产生不同的灭弧效果,当凸起引弧部211在最大开距处距离金属灭弧栅片前端较远时,电弧能量较小时更易受到邻近金属灭弧栅 片吸引,向邻近金属灭弧栅片运动,并在最后与动触头200的凸起引弧部212之间形成一通路,此时电弧拉长,电弧在金属灭弧栅片之间被切割成相互连接的短电弧,提高了灭弧室的利用率,避免了在终端附近形成近似团状电弧,进而造成的金属灭弧栅片前端部的短接,金属灭弧栅片短接不利于金属灭弧栅片将电弧分割成更多短弧,提升近极压降或近阴极效应,且团状电弧会使得电弧能量聚集而不易熄灭电弧。
图24、图25为动触头的运动轨迹示意图,动触头200自旋转中心201向一端伸出,动触头200的端部形成有与静触头300相接触的一凸起电接触部211、与凸起电接触部211相反方向再设置一个凸起引弧部212,凸起电接触部211与凸起引弧部212呈分叉形状,且凸起引弧部212的旋转半径R1大于或等于凸起电接触部211的旋转半径R2。
图24所示在动触头200运动过程中,凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片之间的距离逐渐减小,吸引电弧向凸起引弧部212转移,引导电弧向灭弧栅片组件内运动。
图25所示在动触头200运动过程中,凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片524之间距离先由大变小,引导电弧向凸起引弧部212转移,在动触头200运动到最大开距处时,凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片524之间的距离D3大于凸起电接触部211与金属灭弧栅片524之间的距离D4,此实施例同样适用于电弧能量较小的情况。
图26、图27为所示动触头的运动轨迹示意图,动触头200自旋转中心201向一端伸出,动触头200的端部形成有与静触头300相接触的一凸起电接触部211、与凸起电接触部211相反方向再设置一个凸起引弧部212,凸起电接触部211与凸起引弧部212呈分叉形状,且凸起引弧部212的旋转半径R1小于凸起电接触部211的旋转半径R2。
图26所示在动触头运动过程中,凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片524之间距离先由大变小,引导电弧向凸起引弧部212转移,在动触头200运动到最大开距处时,凸起引弧部212与金属灭弧栅片524之间的距离D1大于凸起电接触部211与金属灭弧栅片524之间的距离D2,此实例同样适用于电弧能量较小的情况。
图27所示为凸起引弧部与金属灭弧栅片前端距离的另一种应用实例,图28为图27中的A向视图,在动触头200最大开距附近设置挡弧件900,挡弧件900设置于金属灭弧栅片524腿部,通过挡弧件900的遮挡,使得电弧在终端需爬行更长的距离才能在引弧部900与金属灭弧栅片524前端连通。此设置有益于空间结构紧凑,或 在空间复杂情况下应用以达到图25相同的效果。
挡弧件900也可设置于凸起引弧部212上达到相同的效果,本实例仅展示了其中较为典型的应用,并不代表所有方案,在此基础上技术人员所能够设计的方案均在我方保护范围。
图25所示引弧部运动轨迹半径R1大于电接触部运动轨迹半径R2时,可通过移动金属灭弧栅片524位置、改变金属灭弧栅片524尺寸等方式,使动触头200最大开距附近的金属灭弧栅片524与引弧部212之间的距离D3大于电接触部211与其附近金属灭弧栅片524前端的距离D4。
动触头200与静触头300在分离运动过程中,当凸起引弧部212距离灭弧栅片电气间隙最小时,电弧向凸起引弧部212转移,此时电弧在凸起引弧部212与静触头300上的静触点之间形成一通路,由此可知凸起引弧部212的凸起形状结构使得可以布置更多的金属灭弧栅片524,转移电弧向更多的灭弧栅片,将电弧分割成更多短弧,提升近极压降或近阴极效应,还可以使动触头200运动轨迹与灭弧装置1000之间形成一个下宽上窄的空间,使电弧的弧柱快速增长,使电弧的弧根滞后于弧柱,起到快速扩散和冷却电弧的作用,使电弧的灭弧性能得以很大的提升。
下面结合图29-图30进一步描述导磁的灭弧栅片组件100。如图29所示,灭弧栅片组件100包含有绝缘件610、绝缘隔弧件700、金属灭弧栅片500,绝缘件610至少包括两片绝缘板,耦合于金属灭弧栅片500的两侧,以固定空气绝缘层叠的金属灭弧栅片500,本实施例中的绝缘件610包括设于金属灭弧栅片500一侧的第一绝缘板611、第三绝缘板613、及设于金属灭弧栅片500另一侧的第二绝缘板612、第四绝缘板614,金属灭弧栅片500的一侧固定在第一绝缘板611、第三绝缘板613上,另一端固定在第二绝缘板612、第四绝缘板614上;绝缘隔弧件700包括包裹金属灭弧栅片500一个腿部的第一绝缘隔弧件701、第三绝缘隔弧件703、及包裹金属灭弧栅片500另一个腿部的第二绝缘隔弧件702、第四绝缘隔弧件704,绝缘件610和绝缘隔弧件700可选采用产气绝缘材料,绝缘隔弧件700位于绝缘件610内侧。
进一步地,绝缘板上设置有装配孔、槽特征620,金属灭弧栅片500上设置有凸起特征501,并与槽特征620配合,金属灭弧栅片500与绝缘件通过凸起与槽孔配合的方式或铆接的方式实现装配固定。
在其他实施例中,金属灭弧栅片500也可直接装配至绝缘外壳400上,此时 绝缘外壳400即为绝缘件610。当绝缘外壳400内空间有限,金属灭弧栅片500的尺寸不能减小时,金属灭弧栅片500装配至绝缘外壳400内壁上可增加有效空间利用率。
金属灭弧栅片500与绝缘板采用上述方式装配有利于提高产品装配效率,也可避免金属灭弧栅片500少装、错装的不良现象。
如图30所示,绝缘隔弧件700设置在灭弧栅片组件100内,金属灭弧栅片500两腿部上包裹的绝缘隔弧件700之间的空气间隙高度H1小于两侧的绝缘件610之间空气间隙高度H2,通过将两绝缘隔弧件700之间的空气间隙高度H1设置成小于2个绝缘件之间的空气间隙高度H2,收窄电弧经过的通道,使灭弧栅片组件的前后部之间形成气压差,有利于加快电弧向金属灭弧栅片500内部移动,加快熄灭电弧。
上述绝缘隔弧件700也可分为左右各一件亦或左右多件,应依据实际情况来设置。
在另外的实施例中,如图31和图32所示,2个绝缘隔弧件700分别设于灭弧栅片组件100的端部与动触头200运动区域之间,2个绝缘隔弧件之间空气间隙高度H1小于2个绝缘件之间空气间隙高度H2,本实施例中,绝缘隔弧件700可以固定设置在2个绝缘件上或固定设置在绝缘外壳400上;再如图33和图34所示,2个绝缘隔弧件700之间,自灭弧栅片组件100的端部向动触头200运动区域延伸的长度大于灭弧栅片组件100端部至动触头200运动区域之间的距离,即动触头200的端部伸入至2个绝缘隔弧件700所形成的空间间隙区域内,2个绝缘隔弧件700之间空气间隙高度H1小于2个绝缘件610之间空气间隙高度H2。绝缘隔弧件700的设置方式仅是示例性的,可根据具体的结构对绝缘隔弧件700进行设置,只需满足设置后形成2个绝缘隔弧件700之间形成的空间间隙高度小于其至少一侧的空间间隙高度即可,由此当电弧向金属灭弧栅片500运动时,由于绝缘隔弧件700之间空气间隙为H1小于绝缘板610之间空气间隙为H2,电弧流经通道收窄,提高了电弧弧压,迫使电弧能够更快速运动,能够使电弧更快速的向金属灭弧栅片500后部运动,电弧变得更长,降低电弧能量。
绝缘隔弧件700的形状可选为柱状、壁状、片状、三角状、部分环状、多面体状或以上形状的任意组合。设置绝缘隔弧件700的结构不同能够更好的引导电弧向灭弧组件内部运动。
绝缘隔弧件700由产气材料制成,可选产气材料为尼龙或聚甲醛。电弧在燃烧时绝缘隔弧件700还可产气,在气流的作用下促使电弧分散并向金属灭弧栅片500 后端运动,有利于更快速的灭弧。
两片灭弧栅片之间布置的角度可以在0度~45度之间,在呈弯折结构排列的灭弧栅片组件100中,在弯折过渡区域的灭弧栅片的排列时,相邻灭弧栅片角度越大,栅片排列数量越少,过渡空间要求越小,反之相邻灭弧栅片角度越小,栅片排列数量越多,过渡空间要求越大,经多次测试验证所得角度值可以为5~15度,如图1中所示的灭弧栅片组件100。
图35所示灭弧栅片组件100中各金属灭弧栅片之间的排列方式,金属灭弧栅片500以空气绝缘间隔设置,金属灭弧栅片500之间可平行设置,也可成夹角设置,当夹角设置时,金属灭弧栅片500开口端间距h1不大于金属灭弧栅片500底部间距h2,金属灭弧栅片500排布形状大体为一弧形结构。
此设置使电弧在向金属灭弧栅片500底部运动时能够将电弧间距逐渐加大,增加空气绝缘间隙,拉长电弧,降低电弧能量,利于电弧快速消散。
图36示出金属灭弧栅片的不同结构,金属灭弧栅片500朝向进弧端上开设有聚磁用开口552,其形状为有窄缝状、倾斜状、水平状、梯结构状、口状、圆状、弧状等。
图37示出金属灭弧栅片的引弧结构示意图,金属灭弧栅片500朝向进弧端上设置有引弧结构,金属灭弧栅片500的开口552两端的腿部结构不同,一端腿部的第一端面551的形状与另一腿部的第二端面553的形状不同,即两侧的腿部呈非对称设置,此结构有利于在一些应用中将电弧更快的引入灭弧栅片中。
图37所示金属灭弧栅片500也可以有进一步应用,将腿部特征加长形成引弧片与灭弧栅片结合体形状,如图38、图39所示金属灭弧栅片500与静触头300呈锐角θ设置,此结构简化了零部件的结构,有利于节省成本。
图40示出多枚金属灭弧栅片呈交错排列结构示意图,将图36所示的腿部结构不同的金属灭弧栅片500交错排列布置,使电弧的灭弧通道101变的不连续或不均匀,从而促使电弧在运动时移动路径加大,使电弧能量减小,金属灭弧栅片500快速切割电弧,有效的使电弧消散。
金属灭弧栅片500之间以空气绝缘的窄缝间隔排列时,在电弧所成结构的磁场电动力的作用下,可使电弧拉长并进入灭弧装置100的窄缝中,电弧在栅片狭缝中运动,一方面受到冷却,加强了去游离作用;另一方面电弧被拉长,弧径被压小,弧 电阻增大,促使电弧熄灭。
图41示出灭弧栅片组件呈“C”型布置示意图,灭弧栅片组件100包括第一灭弧栅片组件510、第二灭弧栅片组件520以及第三灭弧栅片组件570,第一灭弧栅片组件510沿第一方向排列且布置在绝缘外壳400的第一内侧401,第二灭弧栅片组件520沿第二方向排且布置在绝缘外壳400的第二内侧402,第三灭弧栅片组件570沿第一方向排列且布置在绝缘外壳400的第三内侧403,第一灭弧栅片组件510、第三灭弧栅片组件570沿第一方向的长度均小于第二灭弧栅片组件520沿第二反向的长度,第一灭弧栅片组件510、第二灭弧栅片组件520、第三灭弧栅片组件530共同形成具有2个折弯部的C形灭弧栅片组件,在开关的体积条件允许的情况下,绝缘外壳400的三个内侧均设置金属灭弧栅片500的数量比两内侧设置金属灭弧栅片500的数量更多,灭弧性能更好。
在一些实施例中,如图42所示,在第二灭弧栅片组件520的上方部分金属灭弧栅片525向动触头200所在方向倾斜排列或排列呈弧形结构。此设置有利于引导电弧走向以及增加栅片与动触头200之间冷却空间。
图43至图46示出灭弧栅片组件100的顶部设置不同结构状的引弧件示意图,灭弧栅片组件100只有一个弯折结构,在第二灭弧栅片组件520的上方设置一个引弧件530,以引向动触头200的凸起引弧部212,引弧件530可具有不同的形式,其目的在于当动触头200与静触头300之间的开距很大时,能产生更大的冷却和扩散空间,提高灭弧性能。
在一些实施例中,开关承载相或极电源的绝缘外壳400多极为左右相邻设置,动触头200为垂直上下运动,这种结构适合大工作电流的开关,将灭弧室布置成三面体的C型灭弧栅片组件或两面体的L形灭弧栅片组件,分断更高、更大的电压和电流。
在一些实施例中,可以在灭弧装置1000上或灭弧装置1000外设置一个或多个永磁钢件800是对电弧熄灭有促进作用的,具体的,永磁钢件800设置于灭弧装置1000侧方,永磁钢件800可紧贴、可临近绝缘件610,也可设置于绝缘件610与绝缘隔弧件700之间。
如图47所示,永磁钢体800设置在绝缘件610一侧,永磁钢件800的N极向右,磁场方向如箭头所示是从左向右穿过金属灭弧栅片500,当电弧在图示方向向上运动时,受到了磁场的作用力F,依据“左手定则”可知,作用力F的方向为垂直纸面 向里,在F的作用下,电弧向金属灭弧栅片500后端快速运动,将电弧运动轨迹变得更长,使得电弧能量减小,冷却作用加强,利于电弧快速熄灭。
在其他实施例中,如图48、图49、图50和图51所示,永磁钢件800设置于灭弧装置后方,永磁钢件800设置于绝缘外壳400上,与金属灭弧栅片500之间绝缘设置。
请继续参考图48和图49,永磁钢件800的N极朝向图示X正向,磁场方向如箭头所示是从左向右穿过金属灭弧栅片500,当电弧在图示向Y正向运动时,受到了磁场的作用力F,依据“左手定则”可知,F的方向为垂直纸面向里(图示Z正向),具体的由图49可知,电弧在磁场力F的作用下向金属灭弧栅片500的右端运动。
请继续参考图50和图51,永磁钢件800的N极朝向图示X正向,磁场方向如箭头所示是从左向右穿过金属灭弧栅片500,当电弧在图示向Y负向运动时,受到了磁场的作用力F,依据“左手定则”可知,F的方向为垂直纸面向外(即图示Z负向),具体的由图51可知,电弧在磁场力F作用下向金属灭弧栅片500的左端运动。
由以上所述可知,在灭弧装置后方设置永磁钢件800时,会促使局部电弧向灭弧栅片开口的左右两端运动,使得电弧能够拉长的更长一些,利于电弧熄灭。
永磁钢件800设置的位置与数量应依据实际需求与结构而定,本图示仅是对磁场作用原理的一种表述,也可以为其他的情况。
