The application discloses a grounding switch with a
locking mechanism, comprising a mounting base, a movable contact, a static contact and a main
drive shaft for driving the movable contact and the static contact to close or open are arranged on the mounting base, at least one group of drive paddles are fixed on the circumferential outer wall of the main
drive shaft, the main
drive shaft drives the drive paddles to trigger the movable contact to rotate around the axis of the main drive shaft; the mounting base is further provided with a
locking mechanism for limiting the rotation of the movable contact around the axis of the main drive shaft, an unlocking push rod is fixed on the drive
paddle, and the unlocking push rod is used for releasing the limitation of the
locking mechanism on the movable contact when the drive
paddle rotates with the main drive shaft; the locking mechanism directly acts on the movable contact through physical interference and limits the freedom of the movable contact at a preset position, when closing or opening is needed, the rotation of the main drive shaft drives the unlocking push rod to move through the drive
paddle in advance, the unlocking push rod acts on the locking mechanism in advance to make the locking mechanism disengage, and the unlocking and opening are realized in sequence.
