[0024] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0027] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0028] like Figure 1-8 The intelligent mechanism control box shown includes a box body 8 made of internally corroded alloy material. A manual bevel gear 3 is rotatably connected to the front side wall of the box body 8. The manual bevel gear 3 rotates along a horizontal axis. Specifically, a transverse shaft hole 803 is opened on the front side wall of the box body 8, which fits perfectly with the shaft of the manual bevel gear 3 to form a rotating pair. An operating handle socket 301 is opened on the end face of the manual bevel gear 3 outside the box body 8 for fitting with the end of the operating handle tool. A limiting groove 302 is opened on the inner wall of the operating handle socket 301 to allow the manual bevel gear 3 to receive rotational torque. The limiting groove 302 extends to the front of the manual bevel gear 3 to facilitate engagement with the locking pin structure at the end of the operating handle.

[0029] A drive shaft 1 is movably connected to the upper side wall of the housing 8. The drive shaft 1 includes a driven bevel gear 101 rotatably connected to the upper side wall of the housing 8. The upper side wall of the housing 8 has a longitudinal shaft hole 801 that penetrates the inner and outer walls, which is used to cooperate with the shaft of the driven bevel gear 101 to form a rotating pair. The manual bevel gear 3 is always meshed with the driven bevel gear 101. The upper end of the driven bevel gear 101 outside the housing 8 has a screw 102. The screw 102 is sleeved with a lifting arm 2. The lifting arm 2 includes a threaded sleeve 201 that is threaded to the screw 102. The threaded sleeve 201 has a sliding sleeve 203. A guide frame 805 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 8. The sliding sleeve 203 has a guide opening. The guide frame 805 passes through the hole 204 to form a sliding pair. This restricts the freedom of movement of the screw sleeve 201, allowing the rotational motion of the screw 102 to be converted into its own lifting motion. The screw sleeve 201 can drive the switch in the circuit. In fact, the upper end of the screw sleeve 201 also has a cylinder sleeve 202 that is sleeved on the screw 102. The top of the cylinder sleeve 202 is suitable for rotating connection with the switch in the circuit. The cylinder sleeve 202 can drive the switch structure to rotate, thereby realizing the closing and opening actions. The upper end of the guide frame 805 is fixedly connected to the limit frame 806, which limits the maximum rising height of the screw sleeve 201, thereby preventing the screw sleeve 201 from detaching from the upper end of the screw 102.

[0030] A clutch 7 is provided on the rear side wall of the housing 8 to control the engagement / disengagement state of the transmission structure. The clutch 7 is an electric telescopic rod. A configuration hole 804 is provided on the rear side wall of the housing 8 so that the housing of the clutch 7, i.e. the electric telescopic rod, can be fixedly connected to the configuration hole 804. The movable end of the clutch 7 is connected to the drive mechanism 4, thereby adjusting the position of the drive mechanism 4. A pair of parallel and horizontal sliding rods 802 are fixedly connected between the front and rear inner walls of the housing 8. The main body of the drive mechanism 4 is a servo motor 403. A mounting bracket 401 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing of the servo motor 403. The mounting bracket 401 is provided with sliding holes 402. The number of sliding holes 402 corresponds to the number of sliding rods 802, which are used to cooperate with the sliding rods 802 to form a sliding pair. The output end of the drive mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to a driving bevel gear 404. In non-manual mode, it meshes with the driven bevel gear 101 to realize electric power supply.

[0031] The housing 8 also houses a controller 5, which includes an integrated box 501 located within the housing 8. The integrated box 501 contains a power module, a signal processing module, and a remote control module. The power module is connected to a power cord, the signal processing module to a signal line, and the remote control module to a data line or a wireless communication module. One side of the controller 5 extends beyond the housing 8 and features an option knob 504, which controls the meshing state of the driving bevel gear 404 and the driven bevel gear 101 via a clutch 7. The outer side of the housing 8 also has a key 6 for controlling the output direction of the drive mechanism 4, essentially controlling whether the servo motor 403 rotates forward or backward. The key 6 includes a switch box 601 located inside the housing 8. The part of the switch box 601 located outside the housing 8 is movably connected to an adjustment knob 602. The adjustment knob 602 can be turned up or down to output two signals. The switch box 601 is electrically connected to the circuit structure inside the integrated box 501 to transmit the control signal of the key 6 to the controller 5. The front side of the integrated box 501 has an operation panel 502 located on the front of the housing 8. The front of the operation panel 502 is provided with mode labels 503. The mode labels 503 are divided into three types: local, manual, and remote. Each time the selection knob 504 is aligned with a label, it indicates that the control box is in the corresponding mode.

[0032] Working principle: When the option knob 504 in front of the control panel 502 on the front of the enclosure 8 is switched to remote, the clutch 7 keeps the driving bevel gear 404 and the driven bevel gear 101 engaged, allowing the opening and closing of the disconnect switch to be operated from the terminal cabinet or control panel in the power supply station. Remote control is usually not achieved through hard wiring, but through communication modules sending commands to the servo drive to complete the action. When the option knob 504 in front of the control panel 502 on the front of the enclosure 8 is switched to local, the driving bevel gear 404 and the driven bevel gear 101 are also engaged, and the adjustment knob 602 is moved upwards. The lifting arm 2 moves up and down under the drive of the rotating screw 102, and the lifting arm 2 moves down under the drive of the rotating screw 102, thereby realizing the opening and closing action; when the option knob 504 in front of the operation panel 502 on the front of the box 8 is turned to manual operation, the clutch 7 drives the driving bevel gear 404 to retract, and disengages from the meshing state with the driven bevel gear 101. Then the operating handle, that is, the three-section crank, can be inserted. Rotate the crank in the direction indicated by the closing and opening arrows until it reaches the limit position, that is, when it can no longer be cranked by hand, the manual closing and opening operation is completed.

[0033] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application have been described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this application. Various changes and modifications can be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection claimed by this application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
