The invention discloses a safety hand-cranking mechanism for a switch
machine, and relates to the technical field of railway turnout switching equipment, the safety hand-cranking mechanism comprises a fixing sleeve, a first
bevel gear and a second
bevel gear, the fixing sleeve is provided with two holes, and the axes of the two holes intersect; the end of the hand-cranking projecting shaft is located in one hole of the fixing sleeve, and the first
bevel gear is arranged at the end of the hand-cranking projecting shaft; the other hole of the fixing sleeve is used for inserting the hand
crank, and the second bevel gear is arranged at the end of the hand
crank; the hand
crank is inserted into the other hole of the fixing sleeve, so that the first bevel gear is meshed with the second bevel gear, and the switch
machine is driven by rotating the hand crank; an identification ring is mounted in a hole, into which the hand crank is inserted, in the fixing sleeve; and an identification column is arranged on the hand crank in series with the second bevel gear. The included angle between the hand-cranking
handle and the hand-cranking projecting shaft can be designed as required, so that the selection flexibility of the
insertion position of the hand-cranking
handle is greatly enhanced. Corresponding identification of the point switch and the hand crank is achieved, and safety is improved.
