[0028] To further illustrate the embodiments, the drawings are provided. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present application, which mainly serve to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used to explain the operating principle of the embodiments in conjunction with the related description of the specification. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present application. The components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0029] The present application will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-10 , the present embodiment provides a handle assembly 1 used in an isolating switch, which comprises an operating handle 10, a padlock 20, a stopper 30, a reset element 40 and a base 50. The operating handle 10 is rotatable relative to the base 50, so that the isolating switch can be switched between the closed state and the open state by rotating the operating handle 10.

[0031] The stopper 30 is displaceably installed on the operating handle 10. The operating handle 10 is provided with a stopper installation groove (not shown) for accommodating the stopper 30. The stopper 30 has a first position and a second position relative to the base 50, and the stopper 30 can be actuated to move from the first position to the second position. When the stopper 30 is in the first position, the operating handle 10 is rotatable relative to the base 50, as shown in the stopper 30 in the first position. Figure 5 When the stopper 30 is in the second position, the rotation of the operating handle 10 relative to the base 50 is locked.

[0032] Referring to Figures 1-7 , the padlock 20 is pivotally installed on the operating handle 10, and the operating handle 10 is further provided with a padlock installation groove 11 for accommodating the padlock 20. The padlock 20 is provided with a pivot shaft 21, and the padlock 20 is pivotally installed on the operating handle 10 through the pivot shaft 21. The padlock 20 is provided with a pushing protrusion 22 on one side of the pivot shaft 21. When the padlock 20 rotates relative to the operating handle 10, for example, rotates in the direction M from the initial position as shown, the pushing protrusion 22 can push the stopper 30 to move from the first position to the second position, so that the stopper 30 is clamped on the base 50, and the rotation of the operating handle 10 relative to the base 50 is locked. Specifically, the stopper 30 is clamped in the stopper hole 51 of the base 50, so that the rotation of the operating handle 10 relative to the base 50 is locked. Figure 5

[0033] ​The stop hole 51 is a blind hole. Compared with some other solutions where the stop hole 51 is a through hole and a seal needs to be provided between the stop member 30 and the stop hole 51, in this embodiment, the stop hole 51 is a blind hole, so it is not necessary to provide a seal between the stop member 30 and the stop hole 51, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0034] The stop 30 includes a cylindrical body 32 and a reset part 31 connected to one end of the cylindrical body 32. Two reset parts 31 are provided, located on opposite sides of the cylindrical body 32. Two reset members 40 are also provided, with their ends abutting against the reset part 31 and the operating handle 10, respectively, thereby providing a restoring force to return the stop 30 to its initial position, i.e., providing a restoring force for the stop 30 to return from the second position to the first position. In this embodiment, the reset member 40 is a spring, but it is not limited to this. For example, the reset member 40 could also be a reset push rod, etc. In the first position, the stop 30 is disengaged from the base 50, and the operating handle 10 is rotatable relative to the base 50.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-7 The stop 30 also includes a push end face 33 and a guide ramp 34 inclinedly connected to the push end face 33. The padlock 20 is relative to the operating handle 10 by... Figure 5 When the initial position is rotated along the M direction, the pushing protrusion 22 first contacts and presses against the guide slope 34, thereby providing an initial thrust for the movement of the stop 30, making it easier to push the stop 30. The operating handle 10 continues to rotate along the M direction until the pushing protrusion 22 contacts and firmly abuts against the push end face 33. At this point, the padlock 20 stably holds the stop 30 in the second position, thereby locking the rotation of the operating handle 10 relative to the base 50. The locked state is stably maintained, preventing the operating handle 10 from being accidentally rotated.

[0036] In this embodiment, the stop 30 is moved from the first position to the second position by the padlock 20, and the reset member 40 provides a restoring force for the stop 30 to return from the second position to the first position. However, this is not the only embodiment. In other embodiments, the stop 30 can be actuated and its position returned in other ways, such as by a push cylinder.

[0037] Reference Figures 8-10In the embodiment, the operation handle 10 is provided with a first matching protrusion 12 and a second matching protrusion 13 on the side facing the base 50, and the base 50 is provided with a first matching groove 53 and a second matching groove 54. The first matching protrusion 12 matches with the first matching groove 53, and the second matching protrusion 13 matches with the second matching groove 54, so that the operation handle 10 can rotate relative to the base 50. In the embodiment, the first matching protrusion 12 and the second matching protrusion 13 are both circular protrusions, but are not limited thereto. For example, in some other embodiments, the first matching protrusion 12 can be a circular protrusion, and the second matching protrusion 13 can be a circular ring protrusion.

[0038] In the embodiment, the first matching groove 53 is provided with a first sealing member 61, and the second matching groove 54 is provided with a second sealing member 62. The first sealing member 61 and the second sealing member 62 can be annular sealing rings, such as O-rings, so as to seal the gap between the operation handle 10 and the base 50, and improve the sealing performance of the handle assembly 1.

[0039] The operation handle 10 is further provided with a pin mounting groove 14, and the limiting shaft 60 is displaceably mounted in the pin mounting groove 14. A pushing member 70 is arranged between the limiting shaft 60 and the operation handle 10. In the embodiment, the pushing member 70 is a spring, but is not limited thereto. The pushing member 70 can also be a push rod or the like.

[0040] The pushing member 70 pushes the limiting shaft 60 towards the base 50. The base 50 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 52, which are uniformly arranged around the center of the base 50. In the embodiment, there are four positioning grooves 52, which are uniformly arranged around the center of the base 50. However, the number and positions of the positioning grooves 52 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The limiting shaft 60 can slide into the positioning groove 52 when the operation handle 10 rotates. At this time, the operator can feel the sound of the limiting shaft 60 sliding into the positioning groove 52, so as to determine the position of rotation and assist in determining the on-off state of the disconnecting switch. When the limiting shaft 60 slides out of the positioning groove 52, there is no sound.

[0041] Further, with reference to Figures 1-2 The base 50 is provided with a first mark 101 and a second mark 102 on the outer surface, which correspond to the positions of the operation handle 10 when the operation handle 10 rotates to the on and off positions of the disconnecting switch, so as to further assist the operator in determining the on-off state of the disconnecting switch in combination with the aforementioned sound.

[0042] The embodiment further provides a disconnecting switch, which comprises the handle assembly 1 as described above.

[0043] Although the utility model is specifically shown and introduced in combination with the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes can be made to the utility model in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model defined in the appended claims, and all of them are within the protection scope of the utility model.
