The invention discloses a waveguide switch with a novel structure, which comprises a control device and a rotor assembly, a control rotating shaft of the control device is connected with a motor shifting block, the motor shifting block is provided with a slip ring, a rotor rotating shaft of the rotor assembly is connected with a rotor shifting block, and the slip ring is slidably clamped in a chute of the rotor shifting block. According to the waveguide switch, the 90-degree special micromotor is matched with the rocker sliding block transmission mechanism, 90-degree reciprocating rotation of the motor is converted into 90-degree rotation of the rotor, and four-channel corner cut conversion is achieved; a manual switching mechanism is designed to meet the requirement of manual control in the mechanical assembly and joint test process, and dual control of electric control and manual control is achieved; and after setting in place, an automatic power-off measure ensures the safety of the waveguide switch. According to the waveguide switch, the complexity of a control circuit is reduced, the insertion loss is small, the isolation degree is high, the bearing power is large, the performance is stable and reliable, and the safety is high.
