This invention relates to the field of power distribution
switchgear technology, and particularly to a load switch operating mechanism for a ring main unit, comprising a switch operating shaft, a grounding operating shaft, an
energy storage component, and a limit component. The switch operating shaft is coaxially arranged with the switch
drive shaft, and a first drive dial is located at its end; the grounding operating shaft is parallel to it above, and a second drive dial is located at its end. The
energy storage component is pivotally connected to the switch
drive shaft and the grounding operating shaft at both ends, respectively, enabling it to correspondingly perform closing and grounding
energy storage and achieve rapid energy release during opening. The limit component includes a first driven dial, a second driven dial, a first limit arm, and a second limit arm. The two limit arms are respectively located above and below the first driven dial, ensuring reliable overshoot and rebound prevention when the switch is in the closed position performing an
opening action; and reliable overshoot prevention when opening from the grounding position. When closing, the switch operating shaft rotates forward to unlock and store energy; when opening, it rotates backward to release energy and prevent overshoot and rebound; when grounding, the grounding operating shaft rotates backward to unlock and store energy.
