Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of low voltage electrical apparatus, more particularly, to a baffle for cutting off arcs and airflow in a circuit breaker.
- the volume of circuit breaker products is getting smaller and smaller, but the technical performance indexes are getting higher and higher.
- the high-temperature expansion gas generated by an arc during a short circuit breaking process will interfere with the arc in a limited space.

- the long time staying of the arc outside the arc extinguishing chamber for example, staying in an arc channel will cause a longer breaking time and reduction in performance indexes.
- the long time staying arc will also cause severe burning of an arcing plate, a movable contact and a static contact.
- the mounting switch comprises a housing, a contact assembly in the pre-chamber, an arc extinguishing chamber, and first and second arc guides.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of low voltage electrical apparatus, more particularly, to a baffle for cutting off arcs and airflow in a circuit breaker.
- With the development of technology, the volume of circuit breaker products is getting smaller and smaller, but the technical performance indexes are getting higher and higher. As the size of the circuit breaker is reduced, the high-temperature expansion gas generated by an arc during a short circuit breaking process will interfere with the arc in a limited space. The high-temperature expansion gas will prevent the arc from effectively entering into an arc extinguishing chamber, resulting in a longer staying time of the arc outside the arc extinguishing chamber. The long time staying of the arc outside the arc extinguishing chamber, for example, staying in an arc channel will cause a longer breaking time and reduction in performance indexes. The long time staying arc will also cause severe burning of an arcing plate, a movable contact and a static contact.
- Experimental results show that the high-temperature expansion gas will cause arc backflow, making the arc stay outside the arc extinguishing chamber and cannot enter into the arc extinguishing chamber. The arc backflow phenomenon mainly occurs in an arc angle area of the static contact, and the arc backflow phenomenon in this area is particularly serious. Most of the existing circuit breakers do not deal with the arc backflow phenomenon in the arc angle area of the static contact, and thus have the aforementioned problems.

- A baffle of a circuit-breaker, wherein the baffles are provided on both sides of a housing of the circuit-breaker, wherein the baffle on one side is located inside an arc angle of a static contact, and the baffle cuts off a space inside the arc angle of the static contact.
- The baffle of a circuit-breaker according to claim 1, wherein a first baffle is provided on one side of the housing on which the static contact is located, the first baffle is located inside the arc angle of the static contact, and the first baffle cuts off an arc and/or an airflow, a second baffle provided on the other side of the housing cuts off an arc and/or an airflow.
- The baffle of a circuit-breaker according to claim 2, wherein at least one of the first baffle and the second baffle is a straight edge baffle, and the straight edge baffle crosses the arc angle of the static contact so as to cut off the space inside the arc angle of the static contact.
- The baffle of a circuit-breaker according to claim 2, wherein at least one of the first baffle and the second baffle is an arc-shaped baffle, and the arc-shaped baffle occupies the arc angle of the static contact so as to cut off the space inside the arc angle of the static contact.
- A circuit breaker, wherein baffles are provided on both sides of a housing of the circuit-breaker, wherein the baffle on one side is located inside an arc angle of a static contact, and the baffle cuts off a space inside the arc angle of the static contact, the baffles on both sides have a symmetrical structure.
- The circuit-breaker according to claim 5, wherein a first baffle is provided on one side of the housing on which the static contact is located, the first baffle is located inside the arc angle of the static contact, and the first baffle cuts off an arc and/or an airflow, a second baffle provided on the other side of the housing cuts off an arc and/or an airflow.
- The circuit-breaker according to claim 6, wherein at least one of the first baffle and the second baffle is a straight edge baffle, and the straight edge baffle crosses the arc angle of the static contact so as to cut off the space inside the arc angle of the static contact.
- The circuit-breaker according to claim 6, wherein at least one of the first baffle and the second baffle is an arc-shaped baffle, and the arc-shaped baffle occupies the arc angle of the static contact so as to cut off the space inside the arc angle of the static contact.
