Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of disconnectors, and in particular relates to an operating mechanism for a railway disconnector. Background Art

[0002] In the electrified railway traction substation system, the disconnector is an essential power supply equipment. Due to the railway limit, the installation and use space of the disconnector operating mechanism is limited, resulting in the inability to fully open the operating mechanism door, and it is difficult to complete manual operation through the crank. For example, the disconnector operating mechanism is fixed on the pillar according to the construction requirements. In order not to affect the safe driving of the train, the disconnector operating mechanism door is generally opened toward the field side. Due to the railway limit, the door cannot be fully opened, and the crank handle is inserted close to the hinged side of the door. When the crank handle is rotated, the door is easy to interfere, affecting the normal manual operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] A manual locking device is provided at the front end of the base, and the manual locking device includes a safety door and a travel switch. The safety door is slidably connected to the front end of the base and blocks the outer end of the third gear shaft. The travel switch is installed on the left side of the base. When the safety door slides to the left to expose the outer end of the third gear shaft, it touches the travel switch to cut off the power of the motor and lock it.

[0006] The manual locking device also includes a reset tension spring, which is horizontally arranged on the right side of the base, and two ends of the reset tension spring are respectively connected to the safety door and the base.

[0007] An arc-shaped notch is recessed on the right side of the safety door.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] 1. The utility model changes the installation position of the existing isolating switch crank handle so that the crank handle is installed away from the hinged side of the box door, thereby increasing the manual operation space. When the crank handle is rotated, it will not interfere with the box door, thereby ensuring the normal completion of manual operation.

[0010] 2. The utility model is provided with a manual locking device, which can prevent accidental electric start-up during manual operation, and can also ensure that human body injuries caused by incorrect installation of the crank handle during electric operation, having a dual protection effect, and at the same time, it also saves the existing manual conversion switch.

[0011] 3. The transmission ratio of the crank connection mechanism of the utility model is greater than one, which increases the output torque and reduces the labor intensity of the operator. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
