DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The utility model is further described below in connection with the drawings.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 And Figure 2 , a kind of versatility manual maintenance switch, including socket assembly, plug assembly, handle 1 and sealing ring 6.The socket assembly includes lower shell 7 and jack 8.Two jacks 8 are installed in two first connecting holes of lower shell 7 parallelly.In some embodiments, two jacks 8 are fixed with lower shell 7 by tooth cover or clasp.

[0030] The plug assembly includes an upper housing 2, pins 4, an upper insulator 5, an inner sleeve 9, and connecting members. The four corners of the upper insulator 5 are fixed to the four corners of the end face of the upper housing 2 by bolts. Two second connecting holes are provided side by side on the upper insulator 5.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the pins 4 include a plug portion 4-1 and a connecting portion fixed together. The shape of the plug portion 4-1 matches the shape of the socket 8. The plug portions 4-1 of the two pins 4 pass through the two second connecting holes on the insulator 5 and are fixed. The two pins 4 correspond to the two sockets 8 respectively. The connecting portion has an L-shaped sheet structure, including an integrally formed transverse extension piece 4-2 and a fixing piece 4-3. The transverse extension piece 4-2 is fixed to the end of the plug portion 4-1. The fixing piece 4-3 has a mounting hole 4-4. A connecting member is disposed between the fixing pieces 4-3 of the two pins 4. The threaded holes at both ends of the connecting member are fixed to the mounting holes 4-4 on the fixing pieces 4-3 of the two pins 4 by bolts.

[0032] Two pins are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the upper housing 2. Two push-pull shafts 7-1 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the lower housing 7. The axes of the two push-pull shafts 7-1 coincide. The handle 1 is U-shaped and includes an integrally formed grip and two separate pieces respectively provided on both sides of the upper housing 2. The two ends of the grip are connected to the same end of the two separate pieces.

[0033] Two separating plates are provided with rotating holes whose axes coincide. The two separating plates are rotatably connected to the pins on both sides of the upper housing 2. Each separating plate is provided with a sliding groove 1-1; the sliding groove 1-1 is arc-shaped; the insertion and removal push shafts 7-1 on both sides of the lower housing 7 extend into the sliding grooves 1-1 on the two separating plates respectively. The sliding grooves 1-1 gradually move away from the rotating holes from one end to the other.

[0034] When the push shaft 7-1 is at the end of the slide groove 1-1 closest to the pin, the plug assembly is at the lower limit position and the pin 4 is inserted into the corresponding socket 8; when the push shaft 7-1 is at the end of the slide groove 1-1 furthest from the pin, the plug assembly is at the upper limit position and the pin 4 is separated from the corresponding socket 8.

[0035] By rotating the handle 1, the slide groove 1-1 and the insertion / removal push shaft 7-1 can slide relative to each other, thereby increasing or decreasing the distance between the insertion / removal push shaft 7-1 on the lower housing 7 and the pin on the upper housing 2. This causes the lower housing 7 and the upper housing 2 to move away from each other, thus enabling the pin 4 to be pulled out of the socket 8, or the lower housing 7 and the upper housing 2 to move closer to each other, thus enabling the pin 4 to be inserted into the socket 8.

[0036] The inner sleeve 1 is arranged on the guide connecting piece and located in the inner cavity of the upper shell 2; the distance between the two opposite outer sides of the inner sleeve 1 matches the width of the inner cavity of the upper shell 2. The two opposite inner side walls of the upper shell 2 are each provided with a plurality of convex ribs 2-1 arranged in sequence at intervals. One side of the inner sleeve 1 is open and the two ends are provided with clearance grooves to avoid the bolts at the two ends of the guide connecting piece. The two opposite outer sides of the inner sleeve 1 are provided with groove structures 9-1 corresponding to the positions of the convex ribs 2-1. The convex ribs 2-1 on the inner side walls of the upper shell 2 are respectively embedded in the groove structures 9-1 of the inner sleeve 1, so that the inner sleeve 1 is stably installed in the upper shell 2.

[0037] As shown in Figure 4 , the inner sleeve 9 is a thin shell structure; the groove structure 9-1 on the outer side of the inner sleeve 1 makes the inner side of the inner sleeve 1 protrude inward. The depth of the groove structure 9-1 on the inner sleeve 1 matches the width of the guide connecting piece, so that the two side surfaces of the guide connecting piece respectively contact the groove structures 9-1 on the two inner side walls of the inner sleeve 1, thereby stably connecting the guide connecting piece with the inner cavity of the upper shell 2 through the inner sleeve 1, improving the stability of the guide connecting piece in harsh environments such as vibration, and avoiding the connection between the guide connecting piece and the pin 4 from being damaged. In this embodiment, the inner sleeve 9 is used to fill the gap between the fuse and the upper shell, and plays a supporting, limiting and fixing role

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the guide connecting piece is a fuse 3 or a copper bar 10. Generally, the guide connecting piece adopts the fuse 3 to facilitate the realization of overcurrent protection; if the fuse is not required in the use scene, the fuse 3 is replaced by a U-shaped copper bar 10, which is fixed by bolts and nuts, so as to meet the use requirements and obtain a manual maintenance switch without a fuse.

[0039] In this embodiment, different specifications of fuses 3 can be installed in the upper shell 2. The length and width of fuses 3 of different specifications are different; each specification of fuse 3 corresponds to a type of pin 4 and inner sleeve 1. Different types of pins 4 differ in the length of the transversely extending piece 4-2, so that the distance between the two pin 4 fixing pieces 4-3 is different, so as to correspond to the guide connecting piece between the two pins 4 of the corresponding specification, and to accommodate the length difference of guide connecting pieces of different specifications; different types of inner sleeves 1 differ in the depth of the groove structure 9-1, so that the inner side of the inner sleeve 1 can be in close contact with the guide connecting piece of the corresponding specification, and to accommodate the width difference of guide connecting pieces of different specifications. Based on this, the manual maintenance switch provided in this embodiment only needs to replace the inner sleeve 1 and the two pins 4 to adapt to fuses 3 of different specifications, greatly improving the compatibility of the manual maintenance switch, so as to meet the different use requirements of users, product modularization and generalization, good versatility and flexibility, high practicability and economy.

[0040] The sealing ring 6 is arranged at the joint of the upper insulator 5 and the lower shell 7, and forms a radial seal between the socket assembly and the plug assembly.

[0041] In the embodiment, the pin 4 is formed by milling a stepped shaft structure to form the transversely extending piece 4-2 and the fixing piece 4-3. The plug-in part 4-1 of the pin 4 is in a cylindrical shape.

[0042] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0043] The handle 1 is turned down, so that the two pins 4 are respectively inserted into the two insertion holes 8, and the electrical connection between the two insertion holes 8 is realized; when it is needed to disconnect the circuit, the handle 1 is turned up; the sliding groove 1-1 on the handle 1 pulls the entire plug assembly to be raised, so that the two pins 4 are separated from the insertion holes 8, and the two insertion holes 8 are disconnected.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] As shown in Figure 6 A universal manual maintenance switch, the difference between the embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the structure of the pin 4 is different; in the embodiment, a metal tubular structure is formed along the radial direction by punching. The plug-in part 4-1 of the pin 4 is in a round pipe shape.

[0046] Embodiment 3

[0047] As shown in Figure 7 A universal manual maintenance switch, the difference between the embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the structure of the pin 4 is different; in the embodiment, a long strip-shaped metal plate is formed by punching or sheet metal. The plug-in part 4-1 of the pin 4 is in a sheet shape.
