[0034] It is worth mentioning that the transmission assembly 5 includes a bearing plate 51, a screw 52, and a nut 53. One end of the screw 52 is hinged to the connecting shaft 4. The screw 52 passes through the bearing plate 51.

The operating shaft 12 passes through the transmission parts 511. A support rod 54 is arranged between the transmission parts 511. Through the transmission parts 511, the screw 52 and the extension 71, the distance between the operator and the switch body is greatly extended, and then the creepage distance of the arc is extended. The support rod 54 strengthens the structural strength between the transmission parts 511 and the bearing plate 51;
[0035] It is worth mentioning that the knife switch body 2 includes a number of support bases 21. The support bases 21 are provided with static contact frames 22 and contact seats 23.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that one end of the blade 3 is hinged to the static contact holder 22.
[0039] It is worth mentioning that the extension portion 71 is provided with a handle sleeve 72, and the handle sleeve 72 increases the frictional force between the operator and the extension portion 71.
[0040] The working principle of the present utility model is described as follows:
[0041] When the knife switch body 2 needs to be switched off, a thrust is applied to the extension portion 71 to drive the driving rod 7 to drive the shaft body 121 and the driving bevel gear 15 to rotate, and to drive the driven bevel gear 13 to rotate. As the driven bevel gear 13 and the rotating shaft 11 rotate rapidly, the pusher 14 moves rapidly towards the support base 21, and its thrust is transmitted to the transmission portion 511 through the screw 52 and the bearing plate 51. The transmission portion 511 simultaneously separates the blade 3 from the contact head portion 231 through the operating shaft 12. The electric arc generated instantaneously during separation is extinguished by the arc extinguishing grid plates 26, and the small flying arcs that are not completely extinguished are blocked by the mounting flange 1 and the arc baffle 6 to prevent the electric arc from touching the operator. Thus, the switching-off operation step of the knife switch body 2 is completed.
[0042] Through the above design, the product can achieve the advantages of labor-saving switching-on and -off and improved safety.
