As shown in fig. 3, the first grid pieces 2 are sequentially arranged inside the side plate 1 and are adhered to the inner wall of the side plate 1 through high temperature resistant glue. A cavity is formed between every two adjacent grid pieces I2, the grid pieces II 3 are arranged in the cavity, the protection plate 4 is arranged between the grid pieces I2 and the first limiting table 12 of the side plate 1, the outer sides of the two ends of the grid pieces I2 are respectively provided with an arc striking plate assembly 5, and the arc extinguishing device can be formed by connecting the arc striking plate assemblies to mounting holes in the side plate 1 through fasteners.
As shown in fig. 4a and 4b, a second limit table 11 for limiting the first grid sheet 2 and a first limit table 12 for limiting the protection plate 4 are arranged inside the side plate 1; the second stop 11 has a slope which forms an angle with the inner wall of the side plate 1, the angle being in the range of 120-170 deg.. The two sides of the side plate 1 are provided with snap fasteners, and the four corners of the side plate 1 are provided with through holes for connection; the side plate 1 material can be one or a combination of more of SMC, DMC, PF and urea-formaldehyde plastic.

The grid piece I2 has small deformation in the forming process, particularly reduces the phenomenon of overlarge opening of the traditional U-shaped ceramic grid piece, and greatly reduces the phenomena of poor matching and fracture when the grid piece is arranged between two side plates. In order to reduce the initial resistance of the electric arc entering the arc extinguishing device, the notches of two adjacent grid plates need to be staggered in the traditional U-shaped ceramic grid plate assembling process, so that the production efficiency is low; the grid piece I2 is adopted, and due to the structural limitation of the side plate 1 and the grid piece I2, notches can be automatically staggered during assembly, so that assembly errors can be basically eliminated, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.

The second grid sheet 3 can prevent the condition that the multi-section electric arc of the flat grid sheet partially moves forwards and partially moves backwards in the arc extinguishing process, so that the moving speed of the electric arc can be increased; the notch 31 can form magnetic flux with distorted magnetic circuit at the lower part of the grid plate, thereby generating attraction effect on the electric arc and being more beneficial to the electric arc entering the arc extinguishing device; the notches 31 are offset and staggered in sequence during installation, so that the number of the grids initially touched by the electric arc can be reduced, and the initial resistance of the arc extinguishing device is reduced. In the traditional flat grid plate, the initial resistance is larger when the electric arc enters the arc extinguishing device in the middle of the grid plate gap, and the installation of the grid plate gap offset person needs to pay attention to the sequential staggering of the adjacent grid plates, so that the production efficiency is lower; by adopting the second grid plate 3, during actual assembly, all the second grid plates 3 are inserted into the first grid plate 2 in the same direction, the limiting device 32 is clamped into the clamping groove 23 of the first grid plate 2, and all the notches 31 of the structure of the second grid plate 3 are automatically staggered, so that the assembly error rate is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.
