[0024] The button assembly is provided with a protective shell 1 to protect the button assembly.

[0029] This application is powered by 220V AC. The device is energized after the air switch is closed, and the fuse protects the device from overcurrent. For rapid switching between different operating conditions, the button assembly is first reset. Indicator lights can be installed on each button; when a button is pressed to connect to the line, the indicator lights illuminate, facilitating button status identification. Then, the operating condition is switched as required, achieved by adjusting the control button assembly. The contact and disconnector signal status during switching is shown in the table below:

[0030] Buttons SB1-SB9 correspond to the operating conditions and control switch position signals

[0031]

[0032] To switch to generator mode, simply press the first button SB1. Pressing SB1 activates the first relay K21, which in turn controls its corresponding first and second linkage contacts S1 and S2, thus controlling the tenth and eleventh relays K11 and K12. The contact signals of these relays can then be connected to the unit's relay protection device via wires. This allows the protection device to determine the unit's operating condition and effectively enable or disable relevant protection functions. This enables rapid switching of operating conditions. The disconnector signal status corresponds to the contact signal of the second relay group. By inserting external wires into the wiring terminal block, the second relay contact signals are transmitted externally. The wires are connected to the terminal block of the protection device, allowing the protection device to automatically determine the operating condition based on the signals provided. The protection device then implements the corresponding protection function based on the determined operating condition. When switching to other operating conditions, first press the first button SB1, then press the corresponding button to switch the operating condition. This process is highly efficient.

[0033] Since the operation mode can be switched by pressing the button assembly, there is a possibility of accidental operation mode switching by non-professionals. Therefore, this application provides a protective shell 1 to protect the button assembly and prevent accidental operation by external personnel. The frame support 2 is fixed to the outside of the button assembly by fasteners and connecting angle iron 9. When the connecting angle iron is fixed, it can press the second sealing gasket 8. Then, the cover plate 3 is fixed in the stepped groove 4 of the frame support 2. Then, the external key is inserted into the rotating sleeve 19, so that the end of the key engages with the mating groove 20. The mating groove 20 can be a specially shaped mating groove, such as a dovetail shape, so that conventional tools cannot drive the rotating sleeve 19 to rotate. When the rotating sleeve 19 rotates, it can drive the two sets of lead screw seats 13 and the locking blocks 14 on the lead screw seats 13 to move simultaneously towards or away from each other along the bidirectional lead screw 11. When locking, the locking blocks 14 move away from the mounting seat 10. Finally, the locking blocks 14 will abut against the wedge block 16. During the movement, it will drive the cover plate 3 to press the first sealing gasket 7, improving the sealing effect. While protecting the button components, it also reduces the impact of external dust and moisture on the button components, resulting in better reliability.
