The invention belongs to the technical field of power circuit breakers, and particularly relates to a rotary arc extinguishing mechanism of a power
circuit breaker. The rotary arc extinguishing mechanism includes a
capacitor, electromagnetic rings, thermoelectric units, a first conductive piece, a second conductive piece, a swing rod, a fixed end and a solenoid coil, the conductive pieces and an outer shell form an arc channel, when the swing rod and the fixed end generate an
electric arc, since heat of the
electric arc itself is high, the
electric arc is driven by itself to enter an electromagnetic ring inlet,
high heat generated by the electric arc heats a thermoswitch, so that the
capacitor and the solenoid coil are energized, the
capacitor drives the solenoid coil to generate a toroidal
magnetic field, and the electric arc is attracted into the electromagnetic rings; heat of the electric arc is absorbed by thermoelectric units at two sides, and is conducted to the capacitor, and the capacitor is charged and prepares to drive the solenoid coil for the next time. The arc extinguishing mechanism provided by the invention can perform arc extinguishing on the electric arc with huge energy, when the energy of the electric arc is huge, an
angle of rotation of the electric arc along the electromagnetic rings increases, at the same time,
thermal damage is not caused to equipment under a guiding function of the
magnetic field, and thus the rotary arc extinguishing mechanism of the power
circuit breaker has a relatively good using effect.
