[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 11 The given embodiments further illustrate specific implementations of the operating handle created by the present invention. The operating handle created by the present invention is not limited to the descriptions of the following embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown in Figure 6, the operating handle of this invention includes a base and a rotary handle 200 rotatably mounted on the base. An operating mechanism and a locking mechanism are provided within the rotary handle 200. The operating mechanism includes a latch 310 pivotally mounted within the rotary handle 200. The locking mechanism includes a locking tongue 410 located on one side of the rotary handle 200. The locking tongue 410 has a drive shaft 430 that engages with the latch 310. The latch 310 has a groove 320 that fits onto the drive shaft 430. The grooves 320 are positioned opposite each other. The inner walls on both sides of the drive shaft 430 are a pressing surface 330 and a lifting surface 340, respectively. The pressing surface 330 and the lifting surface 340 are respectively provided with a pressing boss 331 and a lifting boss 341, and the pressing boss 331 and the lifting boss 341 are staggered. When the buckle 310 rotates, the pressing boss 331 and the lifting boss 341 provided in the slide groove 320 push the drive shaft 430, so that the drive shaft 430 drives the locking tongue 410 to lock and unlock the handle 200.

[0031] The operation handle of the present application comprises an operation mechanism and a locking mechanism, the catch 310 of the operation mechanism cooperates with the driving shaft 430 of the locking tongue 410 of the locking mechanism through the sliding groove 320, when the catch 310 rotates, the driving shaft 430 is pushed through the pressing boss 331 and the pulling boss 341 arranged in the sliding groove 320 respectively, the driving shaft 430 drives the locking tongue 410 to move to realize the locking and unlocking of the handle 200, when the driving shaft 430 is pushed by the sliding groove 320, the stroke of the driving shaft 430 is enlarged, and then the stroke of the locking tongue 410 is enlarged, the locking tongue 210 can lock the handle 200 more reliably without increasing the volume of the operation handle.

[0032] The present application also provides a handle self-locking structure of a circuit breaker manual operation mechanism, comprising a circuit breaker and the operation handle, the operation handle is installed outside the cabinet door 100 of a switch cabinet, the circuit breaker is installed in the switch cabinet, the circuit breaker is provided with a linkage mechanism 500 connected between the switch handle 810 and the handle 200, when the handle 200 rotates, the switch handle 810 is driven to rotate through the linkage mechanism 500 to make the circuit breaker close and open, when the catch 310 drives the locking tongue 410 to lock the handle 200, the linkage mechanism 500 can be locked to lock the cabinet door 100 and the switch cabinet; when the catch 310 drives the locking tongue 410 to unlock the handle 200, the linkage mechanism 500 can be unlocked to unlock the cabinet door 100 and the switch cabinet.

[0033] The handle self-locking structure of the circuit breaker manual operation mechanism of the present application, when the catch 310 drives the locking tongue 410 to lock the handle 200, the linkage mechanism 500 can be locked to lock the cabinet door 100 and the switch cabinet; when the catch 310 drives the locking tongue 410 to unlock the handle 200, the linkage mechanism 500 can be unlocked to unlock the cabinet door 100 and the switch cabinet, because when the catch 310 rotates, the driving shaft 430 is pushed through the pressing boss 331 and the pulling boss 341 arranged in the sliding groove 320, after the stroke of the locking tongue 410 is increased, not only the handle 200 can be locked more reliably, but also the linkage mechanism 500 can be locked more reliably.

[0034] Further, the locking mechanism further comprises a locking plate 420 cooperating with the linkage mechanism 500, the locking plate 420 is arranged in the base to slide and cooperate, and the locking plate 420 is limited in the circumferential direction by the base, the locking plate 420 does not rotate with the handle 200, the locking plate 420 is arranged in parallel with the handle 200, the locking tongue 410 is arranged vertically on one side of the locking plate 420, when the locking tongue 410 moves to lock and unlock the handle 200, the locking tongue 410 can simultaneously drive the locking plate 420 and the linkage mechanism 500 on the circuit breaker to lock and unlock, to lock and unlock the cabinet door 100 and the switch cabinet;

[0035] When the handle 200 is in the open position, the linkage mechanism 500 is unlocked with the lock plate 420, and they do not interfere with each other, so the linkage mechanism 500 can be pulled out from the lock plate 420; when the handle 200 is in the closed position, the linkage mechanism 500 is rotated to the locked position with the lock plate 420, so that the linkage mechanism 500 is locked with the lock plate 420, and the linkage mechanism 500 cannot be pulled out from the lock plate 420, and the cabinet door 100 is locked and cannot be opened;

[0036] When the handle 200 is in the open position, i.e. the linkage mechanism 500 is unlocked with the lock plate 420, the lock plate 420 can be driven to move by the lock tongue 410 to re-lock the linkage mechanism 500 with the lock plate 420, preventing the cabinet door 100 from being opened.

[0037] Referring to Figure 7 -8, when the lock tongue 410 locks the handle 200, the jump buckle 310 drives the sliding groove 320 to rotate close to the lock tongue 410, the lower pressing surface 330 pushes the driving shaft 430 to slide to the lower pressing boss 331 and pushes the driving shaft 430 through the lower pressing boss 331, so that the driving shaft 430 drives the lock tongue 410 to act to lock the handle 200, and at the same time the lock tongue 410 can drive the lock plate 420 to lock the linkage mechanism 500, and the cabinet door 100 is locked with the switch cabinet;

[0038] Referring to Figure 5 -6, when the lock tongue 410 unlocks the handle 200, the jump buckle 310 drives the sliding groove 320 to rotate away from the lock tongue 410, the lifting surface 340 pushes the driving shaft 430 to slide to the lifting boss 341 and pushes the driving shaft 430 through the lifting boss 341, so that the driving shaft 430 drives the lock tongue 410 to act to unlock the handle 200, and at the same time the lock tongue 410 can drive the lock plate 420 to allow the linkage mechanism 500 to be unlocked, and the cabinet door 100 is unlocked with the switch cabinet.

[0039] The handle self-locking structure of the invented circuit breaker manual operating mechanism can further increase the stroke of the lock plate 420 on the basis of increasing the stroke of the lock tongue 410, and the lock plate 420 can be more reliably locked with the linkage mechanism 500, so that the cabinet door 100 can be more reliably locked with the switch cabinet, preventing the cabinet door 100 from being opened. It can be understood that the lock tongue 410 can also lock the linkage mechanism 500 in other forms, or the lock tongue 410 can directly lock the linkage mechanism 500, which all belong to the protection scope of the invention.

[0040] As Figure 1The operating handle of the preferred embodiment is installed outside the cabinet door 100 of the switch cabinet, the switch device 800 of the preferred embodiment is a circuit breaker installed in the switch cabinet, and the switch device handle 810 of the preferred embodiment is a dial type. The operating handle comprises a base and a rotating handle 200 installed on the base for connecting the switch device handle 810. An operating mechanism and a locking mechanism are arranged in the rotating handle 200. The rotating handle 200 is connected with the switch device handle 810 through a linkage mechanism 500. When the rotating handle 200 rotates, the switch device handle 810 is dialled to move linearly to the closed position or the open position through the linkage mechanism 500. The locking mechanism locks the rotating handle 200 at the closed position and the open position. When the rotating handle 200 is locked at the closed position, the locking mechanism can be locked with the linkage mechanism 500, so that the cabinet door 100 of the switch cabinet is locked with the linkage mechanism 500 installed in the switch cabinet, thereby preventing the cabinet door 100 from being opened.

[0041] The operating mechanism comprises a jump buckle 310 pivotally installed in the rotating handle 200. The locking mechanism comprises parallelly arranged locking plates 420 and the rotating handle 200, and a locking tongue 410 vertically arranged at one side of the rotating handle 200. One end of the locking tongue 410 is used to push the locking plates 420 to lock with the linkage mechanism 500. The other end of the locking tongue 410 is provided with a driving shaft 430 matched with the jump buckle 310. A sliding groove 320 is arranged on the jump buckle 310 to cover the driving shaft 430. When the jump buckle 310 rotates, the driving shaft 430 is pushed through the sliding groove 320, so that the driving shaft 430 drives the locking tongue 410 to act. The locking tongue 410 can lock the rotating handle 200 at the closed position or the open position. When the locking tongue 410 locks the rotating handle 200 at the open position, the locking tongue 410 can drive the locking plates 420 to lock with the linkage mechanism 500. When the locking tongue 410 unlocks the rotating handle 200 at the open position, the locking tongue 410 can drive the locking plates 420 to unlock with the linkage mechanism 500, or the locking tongue 410 avoids the locking plates 420, so that the locking plates 420 are reset to realize unlocking by means of the spring structure. When the rotating handle 200 is at the closed position, the locking plates 420 do not rotate with the rotating handle 200, but the linkage mechanism 500 rotates with the rotating handle 200 to the position locked with the locking plates 420. The locking plates 420 themselves can lock the linkage mechanism 500, and the locking tongue 410 does not need to push the locking plates 420 to lock the linkage mechanism. When the rotating handle 200 rotates to the open position, the locking plates 420 automatically unlock the linkage mechanism 500.

[0042] Particularly, the inner walls on both sides of the driving shaft 430 in the sliding groove 320 are respectively the pressing surface 330 and the pulling surface 340, and the pressing surface 330 and the pulling surface 340 are respectively provided with the pressing boss 331 and the pulling boss 341. The pulling boss 341 is arranged at one end of the pulling surface 340 close to the bottom of the sliding groove 320, and the pressing boss 331 is arranged at one end of the pressing surface 330 away from the bottom of the sliding groove 320. Due to the first stepped slope and the second stepped slope respectively formed on the pressing boss 331 and the pulling boss 341, the stroke of the locking tongue 410 and the locking plate 420 can be increased. The increase of the locking tongue 410 can make the locking effect of the rotating handle 200 more reliable, and the increase of the locking plate 420 can make the locking effect of the locking linkage mechanism 500 more reliable, effectively preventing accidental unlocking and opening of the cabinet door 100. It can be understood that the operating handle of the embodiment can also be fixed on the housing of the switchgear 800 instead of being installed on the switch cabinet, and the locking of the locking plate 420 and the linkage mechanism 500 can prevent the operating handle from being removed from the switchgear 800, all of which belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4 The rotating handle 200 is provided with the locking tongue 410 and the locking plate 420. The locking tongue 410 is arranged on one side of the rotating handle 200, and the locking plate 420 is arranged on the other side of the rotating handle 200. The locking tongue 410 is provided with the sliding groove 320, and the locking plate 420 is provided with the linkage mechanism 500. The sliding groove 320 is arranged on one side of the locking tongue 410, and the linkage mechanism 500 is arranged on one side of the locking plate 420. The sliding groove 320 is provided with the pressing surface 330 and the pulling surface 340, and the linkage mechanism 500 is provided with the locking linkage mechanism 500. The pressing surface 330 and the pulling surface 340 are respectively provided with the pressing boss 331 and the pulling boss 341. The pulling boss 341 is arranged at one end of the pulling surface 340 close to the bottom of the sliding groove 320, and the pressing boss 331 is arranged at one end of the pressing surface 330 away from the bottom of the sliding groove 320. Due to the first stepped slope and the second stepped slope respectively formed on the pressing boss 331 and the pulling boss 341, the stroke of the locking tongue 410 and the locking plate 420 can be increased. The increase of the locking tongue 410 can make the locking effect of the rotating handle 200 more reliable, and the increase of the locking plate 420 can make the locking effect of the locking linkage mechanism 500 more reliable, effectively preventing accidental unlocking and opening of the cabinet door 100. It can be understood that the operating handle of the embodiment can also be fixed on the housing of the switchgear 800 instead of being installed on the switch cabinet, and the locking of the locking plate 420 and the linkage mechanism 500 can prevent the operating handle from being removed from the switchgear 800, all of which belong to the protection scope of the present application. Figure 3 As shown in

[0044] Specifically, the operating handle of the embodiment includes a base and a rotating handle 200 rotatably installed on the base. An operating mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a support 210 for connecting the linkage mechanism 500 are arranged in the rotating handle 200. The operating mechanism includes a jump buckle 310, a lock buckle 350, and a button 360 pivotally installed in the rotating handle 200, and first and second return springs 3100 and 3500 connected with the jump buckle 310 and the lock buckle 350, respectively. One end of the jump buckle 310 and the lock buckle 350 are buckled with each other, and the end of the jump buckle 310 and the lock buckle 350 is provided with a padlock hole 370. The other end of the jump buckle 310 is provided with a sliding groove 320 matched with the locking tongue 410, and the other end of the lock buckle 350 is matched with the button 360.

[0045] The snap buckle 310 is provided with a snap groove 311, and the lock buckle 350 is provided with a snap claw 351 matched with the snap groove 311. When the snap claw 351 of the lock buckle 350 is clamped in the snap groove 311, the other end of the lock buckle 350 is limited by the button 360 and the first return spring 3100 is locked in the energy storage state. The lock buckle 350 can block the rotation of the snap buckle 310 under the action of the first return spring 3100. The button 360 can push the lock buckle 350 to release the snap buckle cooperation with the snap buckle 310, so that the first return spring 3100 drives the one end of the snap buckle 310 provided with the sliding groove 320 to rotate towards the lock tongue 410, and the lock tongue 410 is pressed down, and the other end of the snap buckle 310 is lifted up and the padlock hole 370 is exposed from the handle 200. At this time, the lock 410 can be passed through the padlock hole 370 through the lock (not shown in the figure), and the lock tongue 410 and the lock plate 420 can be prevented from rotating back to keep locking respectively. After the lock is removed, the one end of the snap buckle 310 provided with the padlock hole 370 can be pressed to retract into the handle 200, and the one end of the snap buckle 310 provided with the sliding groove 320 can be rotated away from the lock tongue 410, so as to drive the lock tongue 410 and the lock plate 420 to reset and release the locking.

[0046] Preferably, the first return spring 3100 and the second return spring 3500 of the embodiment are both torsion springs, and can also be tension springs or compression springs. In addition, the lock buckle 350 and the first return spring 3100 can also not be provided, and the snap buckle 310 can be rotated and reset under manual operation, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 The linkage mechanism 500 includes a driving mechanism 520 mounted on the switch appliance 800, and a rotating shaft 510 arranged between the driving mechanism 520 and the handle 200. One end of the rotating shaft 510 is connected with the driving mechanism 520, and the other end of the rotating shaft 510 is inserted into the support 210 of the handle 200. The lock plate 420 of the handle 200 is used for limiting the rotating shaft 510, so that the rotating shaft 510 cannot be pulled out of the support 210, and the rotating shaft 510 and the support 210 are locked, preventing the cabinet door 100 from being opened. When the handle 200 rotates, the support 210 drives the rotating shaft 510 to rotate, and then the driving mechanism 520 drives the switch appliance handle 810 to act. When the lock plate 420 and the rotating shaft 510 are unlocked, the cabinet door 100 is opened, and the rotating shaft 510 is separated from the support 210. Of course, the switch appliance handle 810 can also be rotary, and only the structure of the driving mechanism 520 needs to be adjusted, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0055] The operation process of the handle of the application is as follows:

[0056] When the rotating handle 200 is in the non-self-locking state, that is, the one end of the jump buckle 310 is not lifted and the other end is not pressed, the pulling surface 340 of the jump buckle 310 is in contact with the driving shaft 430 of the lock tongue 410, at this time, the lock tongue 410 is pulled up to the highest point in the movement process under the support of the pulling surface 340, the lock tongue 410 is separated from the lock plate 420, the third reset spring 4200 drives the lock plate 420 to move below the lock tongue 410, the lock plate 420 will not limit the stop of the pin 511 of the rotating shaft 510, and the one end of the rotating shaft 510 with the pin 511 can be pulled out of the support 210 and separated from the rotating handle 200, so that the cabinet door 100 of the switch cabinet can be separated from the rotating shaft 510, and the cabinet door 100 can be opened, and this state is the non-self-locking state.

[0057] When the handle 200 is in the self-locking state, i.e. one end of the jumper 310 is raised and the other end is pressed, the lower surface 330 of the jumper 310 is in contact with the driving shaft 430 of the lock tongue 410, and at this time the lock tongue 410 is pressed to the lowest point in the movement process under the pressure of the plane of the jumper 310. Since the two planes of the jumper 310 and the driving shaft 430 of the lock tongue 410 are the first and second stepped inclined surfaces, respectively, the stroke of the lock tongue 410 in the movement process is increased, and the stroke of the lock plate 420 pushed by the lock tongue 410 is increased. The lock plate 420 slides on the surface of the support 210 under the action of the lock tongue 410, and the increase of the stroke of the lock plate 420 makes the sliding distance of the lock plate 420 on the surface of the support 210 longer in the self-locking state, i.e. the length of the bolt 511 on the rotating shaft 510 in the support 210 is longer, so that the rotating shaft 510 is less likely to slide out of the first linkage groove 220 of the support 210 in the self-locking state, and the reliability of the cabinet door 100 in the self-locking state is enhanced.
