[0015] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a flip-type disconnect switch, including a base 1, on which three insulators 2 are provided. A knife switch assembly is fixed to the upper end of the outer insulator 2, and a ceramic connector 8 is provided to the upper end of the middle insulator 2. In the above, both the upper and lower ends of the insulator 2 include a disconnected end portion. The lower end portion of the insulator 2 is inserted into the base 1 and fixed by a nut. Specifically, the outer side of the end portion is provided with a thread. The switch assembly includes a ceramic support 4, which includes a connected circular vertical part and a horizontal part. The inner side of the horizontal part of the ceramic support 4 is fixed with a fitting terminal 3 and a connecting piece 11. Specifically, the end joints of the upper parts of the two outer insulators 2 extend into the inner horizontal part of the ceramic support 4 and pass through the terminal 3 and the connecting piece 11. Nuts are connected on the outer side to fix the terminal 3 and the connecting piece 11 to the inner side of the ceramic support 4. The connecting piece 11 is located above the terminal 3. An insulating rubber clip is inserted into the inner horizontal part of the ceramic support 4 and is clipped to the upper side of the terminal 3. A support column 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the circular vertical part of the ceramic support 4. A connecting piece 2 13 is rotatably connected to the outside of the support column 12. The connecting piece 11 and the connecting piece 2 13 are electrically connected. Both the connecting piece 11 and the connecting piece 2 13 are made of conductive metal discs. A conductive switch 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting piece 2 13 facing the ceramic connecting seat 8. The conductive switches 5 are close to each other and parallel at the ends away from the connecting piece 2 13. An insulating spring piece 14 and an insulating spring piece 2 17 are fixedly connected between the two conductive switches 5. The insulating spring piece 14 and the insulating spring piece 2 17 are made of an insulating rubber layer and a spring steel sheet. The insulating rubber layer is wrapped around the outside of the spring steel sheet. The thickness of the insulating rubber layer on the outside of the spring steel sheet is 2-3.5mm. The elasticity of the insulating spring piece 14 and the insulating spring piece 2 17 keeps the ends of the two conductive switches 5 away from each other. A guide wheel 15 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the ceramic connector 8. Two guide grooves are provided on the outer side of the guide wheel 15. Insulating pull ropes 6 with opposite directions are fixed in the two guide grooves. As described above, the guide wheel 15 can be rotated in opposite directions by pulling different insulating pull ropes 6. A through hole is provided at the bottom of the ceramic connector 8. The insulating pull rope 6 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to a connecting ring with an outer insulating layer at the end. That is, the guide wheel 15 can be rotated by pulling the connecting ring with a long rod hook. This can improve the convenience of rotating the guide wheel 15 after the flip-type disconnect switch is installed at a high place. The ends of the two conductive switches 5 extend into the ceramic connector 8, and the ends of the two conductive switches 5 extend into the inner side of the guide wheel 15. A guide block 22 is fixed on the side that is far away from each other. The guide block 22 is made of a whole piece of graphite. The inner wall of the guide wheel 15 is shaped to match the guide block 22. After the guide wheel 15 rotates, it causes the rotating conductive switches 5 to press and move closer together at the ends. That is, the guide block 22 connected to the conductive switches 5 is pressed and guided to the guide wheel 15 by the insulating spring 14 and the insulating spring 17. Then, after the guide wheel 15 rotates, the conductive switches 5 are driven to rotate and press and move closer together by friction, and finally stick together. The ceramic support 4 has an external through hole on the side facing the ceramic connector 8. An insulating support plate 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the external through hole. The conductive switch 5 passes through the external through hole and is fixed to the insulating support plate 10.

[0017] A connecting component 9 is connected between the upper end of the insulator 2 located in the middle and the ceramic connecting seat 8. A ceramic support block is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the ceramic connecting seat 8, and the guide wheel 15 is supported above the ceramic support block. The connecting component 9 includes an outer cylinder and an adjusting knob. The outer cylinder is fixed to the ceramic connecting seat 8, and the adjusting knob is rotatably connected to the lower end of the outer cylinder. The upper end of the insulator 2 located in the middle is threadedly connected to the adjusting knob. After rotating the adjusting knob, the corresponding end and the outer cylinder can be connected together.

[0018] A slot is provided at the parallel part of the conductive switch 5. A support cylinder 19 and a spring 20 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the ceramic connector 8. A support ring 7 is fixedly connected to the guide wheel 15 on the side away from the support cylinder 19. The support ring 7 passes through the side wall of the ceramic connector 8 on the corresponding side and the two are rotatably connected. The support cylinder 19 is located inside the spring 20. An insert rod 18 is slidably connected inside the support cylinder 19. An auxiliary disk is included on the outer side of the insert rod 18. The upper end of the spring 20 is supported on the lower side of the auxiliary disk. A pressure rail 16 for contacting the auxiliary disk is provided on the side of the guide wheel 15 corresponding to the auxiliary disk. The upper end of the insert rod 18 corresponds to the position range of the slot. In the above, when the guide wheel 15 rotates to drive the conductive switch 5 and squeezes the conductive switch 5, the slots of the two conductive switches 5 are aligned. The shape of the pressure rail 16 reduces the squeezing force on the auxiliary disk. As a result, the spring 20 pushes the auxiliary disk upward, thereby driving the insert rod 18 to insert into the slot, thereby restricting the rotation of the conductive switch 5.

[0019] Working principle: After the insulating pull rope 6 is pulled, the insulating pull rope 6 rotates through the guide wheel 15. During the process, due to the support of the insulating spring piece 14 and the insulating spring piece 17 on the conductive switch 5, and the tension of the wire connected by the connecting piece 11 and the connecting piece 23 (the installation angle of the connecting piece 23 can be adjusted to control the initial position of the wire being pulled; here it is adjusted so that the conductive switch 5 rotates to a horizontal state before being squeezed by the guide wheel 15), the guide block 22 rotates along the guide wheel 15 and squeezes, thereby bringing the horizontal parts of the conductive switch 5 closer together. Due to the shape of the pressure rail 16, the squeezing force on the auxiliary disk is reduced accordingly. As a result, the spring 20 pushes the auxiliary disk upward, which in turn drives the insertion rod 18 to insert into the slot, thereby restricting the rotation of the conductive switch 5, thus completing the closing. After pulling the other insulating pull rope 6, the guide wheel 15 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the pressure rail 16 to squeeze the auxiliary disk, thereby overcoming the resistance of the spring 20 and driving the insertion rod 18 to move downward, entering and exiting from the slot. With the rotation of the guide wheel 15 and the insulating spring piece 14 and insulating spring piece 17, the two conductive switches 5 are separated.

[0020] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
