Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pole-mounted switch technology, specifically relating to a pole-mounted switch with a retractable ladder structure that can be installed in one piece. Background Technology

[0002] Pole-mounted switches are a type of safety switch used on utility poles to ensure electrical safety. Their main function is to isolate high voltage in the circuit. Currently, most medium and high voltage outdoor pole-mounted switches in the industry are installed in a split configuration, consisting of the switch body, mounting bracket, clamps, and fasteners.

[0003] The split-type installation has the following shortcomings and defects: 1. There are many installation parts, which manufacturers are prone to sending the wrong or missing parts. Moreover, the assembly process is cumbersome for on-site installers and requires professional guidance; 2. When installing pole-mounted switches, installers must first fix the mounting bracket on the utility pole and then hoist the pole-mounted switch for assembly. The installation time is long, and the power outage time is generally limited, causing inconvenience to users; 3. During maintenance, because the split-type mounting bracket is added to the switch body and blocks the bottom cover, the switch usually needs to be removed for maintenance. Maintenance cannot be carried out on the utility pole. All of the above shortcomings cause inconvenience to on-site installation and maintenance, and may even cause huge losses to the company.

[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned problems of inconvenience in disassembly, assembly, and maintenance urgently need to be addressed in order to improve the usage scenarios of pole-mounted switches. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (1) Technical problems to be solved
