[0031] Specifically, the limiting block 21 cooperates with the limiting groove 22 to limit the sliding range of the support plate 20 in the shell 16, so as to prevent the support plate 20 from deviating from the preset position due to excessive buffering movement, and the support plate 20 slides in the shell 16.
[0032] Workflow: In the initial state, the energy storage spring member 7 is in the uncompressed state, the output shaft 8 is located at the bottom of the sector-shaped groove 14 of the cheek plate 1, the connecting shaft 3 is located at the top of the first long slot hole 13 of the pull rod 4, and the switch is in a double-split state. When it is necessary to close the power supply on one side, a handle can be inserted through the top hole 15 for manual driving, or an electric motor 11 can be used for electric driving by cooperating with the special-shaped hole 12 of the driving wheel 2, so that the driving wheel 2 rotates in the counterclockwise direction. When the driving wheel 2 rotates, the connecting shaft 3 slides in the first long slot hole 13 and drives the pull rod 4 to move upward, the pull rod 4 pulls the output shaft 8, the upper connecting rod 9 rotates around the second positioning shaft 10, and the lower connecting rod 6 rotates around the first positioning shaft 5. The energy storage spring member 7 is gradually compressed to achieve energy storage. As the driving wheel 2 continues to rotate counterclockwise, when the upper connecting rod 9 and the lower connecting rod 6 are in the same straight line, the mechanism reaches the dead point balance state, the energy storage spring member 7 is compressed to the minimum extent, and the energy storage is completed. The driving wheel 2 continues to rotate in the counterclockwise direction at a small amplitude, breaking the dead point balance, and the energy storage spring member 7 rapidly releases energy to push the lower connecting rod 6 and the upper connecting rod 9 to move synchronously, and the output shaft 8 slides along the sector-shaped groove 14 to the top to drive the corresponding contact system to close. At this time, the connecting shaft 3 slides to the bottom of the first long slot hole 13. When it is necessary to disconnect the power supply on this side, the driving wheel 2 rotates in the clockwise direction, the connecting shaft 3 drives the pull rod 4 to move downward, the upper connecting rod 9 and the lower connecting rod 6 rotate in the opposite direction, and the energy storage spring member 7 is compressed again to store energy until the dead point balance is reached. The driving wheel 2 continues to rotate in the clockwise direction at a small amplitude, breaking the dead point balance, and the energy storage spring member 7 releases energy, and the output shaft 8 slides along the sector-shaped groove 14 back to the bottom, and the contact system is disconnected, and the connecting shaft 3 returns to the top of the first long slot hole 13. The impact force is transmitted to the shell 16 through the cheek plate 1, and then acts on the second buffer pad 19. After receiving the impact force, the second buffer pad 19 pushes the buffer elastic member 18 to elastically deform, thereby preliminarily absorbing and buffering the impact force. At the same time, the first buffer pad 17 cooperates with the buffer elastic member 18 to further weaken the transmission of vibration, and the impact force is synchronously transmitted to the viscous damping 23. The viscous damping 23 slows down the movement speed of the support plate 20 through internal damping action. The support plate 20 slides along the inside of the shell 16 under the action of the impact force, and the limiting block 21 on the outside of the support plate 20 synchronously slides along the limiting groove 22 of the shell 16, thereby achieving effective shock absorption and buffering.
