The invention relates to a drum-shaped non-excitation tap switch for accurately installing a transmission rod. The drum-shaped non-excitation tap switch comprises a tap switch contact system, a switch self-locking system, a transmission rod coupler system, a transmission rod guide system, a transmission rod connecting system, an end cap installation system, a transmission rod assembling device and a transmission rod locking device. A brand-new breakthrough mode is adopted, the advantages of a traditional non-excitation tap switch are undertaken, the relation of installation requirements of a concentric reducer shaft end, a self-locking device and the tap switch is ingeniously applied, and limiting nails and an auxiliary drill installing device which are simple in process and low in cost are added and used in perfect cooperation in the installation process. The installation problem of the non-excitation tap switch is completely solved, installation and connection are reliable, accurate and easy, the installation dislocation or inaccuracy of a transformer factory is effectively avoided, the repeated installation performance is good, the running safety and reliability of the tap switch can be well ensured, and the possibility of after-overhaul repeated installation dislocation or angle deviation of the tap switch is completely eliminated.
