The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0040] Referring to Figure 1 It discloses the overall structure schematic diagram of the transfer switch according to an embodiment of the present application. The transfer switch 100 of the present application comprises a switch body 10 and a mounting head assembly 20. Specifically, the mounting head assembly 20 is connected to the switch body 10, and the mounting head assembly 20 comprises a driving handle 30, a mounting head 40, a mounting nut 50, a first sealing unit 60, a handle shaft 70 and a second sealing unit 80.
[0041] In order to more clearly show the position and connection relationship of each component, refer to Figure 2 It shows the exploded schematic diagram of the mounting head assembly in the transfer switch according to an embodiment of the present application. The mounting head 40 of the transfer switch of the present application is connected to the end of the driving handle 30; the mounting nut 50 is connected to the outer wall of the mounting head 40. The first sealing unit 60 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting head 40 and located between the mounting head 40 and the mounting nut 50. The handle shaft 70 is arranged in the inside of the mounting head 40, and one end of the handle shaft 70 is connected to the driving handle 30. The second sealing unit 80 is sleeved on the other end of the handle shaft 70 and accommodated in the inner cavity of the mounting head 40, so as to better realize the sealing and protection performance of the transfer switch.
[0042] It is worth pointing out that according to a specific embodiment of the present application, the first sealing unit 60 comprises a lead seal cover 63, a first gasket 61 and a second gasket 62. Specifically, the lead seal cover 63 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting head 40. The first gasket 61 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting head 40 and located on the side of the lead seal cover 63 close to the driving handle 30. The second gasket 62 is sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting head 40 and located on the other side of the lead seal cover 63 close to the mounting nut 50. At least one first hole 41 is formed on the driving handle 40, and at least one second hole 631 is formed on the side wall of the lead seal cover 63.
[0043] Referring to Figure 3 which is an exploded view of a partial structure of the mounting head assembly in the changeover switch according to an embodiment of the present application, mainly showing the handle shaft and the second sealing unit. According to an optional embodiment of the present application, the handle shaft 70 comprises a first shaft section 71 and a second shaft section 72. One end of the first shaft section 71 is connected to the driving handle 30. The second shaft section 72 is formed from the other end of the first shaft section 71, and an installation groove 721 is arranged on the second shaft section 72, in which the second sealing unit 80 is accommodated.
[0044] According to a specific embodiment of the present application, the second sealing unit 80 comprises an annular sealing ring 81. In order to further optimize the structural design, for example, according to an optional embodiment of the present application, the annular sealing ring 81 comprises an annular body 811 and a V-shaped sealing seat 812 connected above the annular body.
[0045] In order to ensure stable and reliable sealing effect, the outer circumferential dimension of the opening of the sealing seat 812 is greater than the base dimension of the sealing seat 812 connected to the annular body 811. Furthermore, the outer circumferential dimension of the opening of the sealing seat 812 is greater than the outer circumferential dimension of the annular body 811.
[0046] It is worth pointing out that the above design can effectively prevent the annular sealing ring 81 from moving up and down during use. The sealing seat 812 of the annular sealing ring 81 abuts against the lower opening of the mounting head 40, blocking the channel for the product itself to enter the product interior, and ensuring better sealing isolation effect.
[0047] For example, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, in order to enhance the sealing effect, the first gasket 61 and the second gasket 62 are substantially the same in size and symmetrically arranged at the axial position of the lead seal cover 63. In combination Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, due to the upper and lower sealing gaskets, i.e. the first gasket 61 and the second gasket 62, of the lead seal cover 63, the channel into the product interior between the mounting head assembly 20 and the mounting plane can be effectively blocked, and the sealing performance of the product is further improved.
[0048] According to an optional embodiment of the present application, a first hole 41 is formed on the driving handle 30, and a plurality of second holes 631 are correspondingly formed on the side wall of the lead seal cover 63. Figure 4 As shown, a row of second holes 631 are formed on the corresponding outer wall of the lead seal cover 63, so as to form a lead seal mechanism with the first hole 41 on the driving handle 30, ensuring the compactness of the product structure and improving the safety performance of the product.
[0049] In summary, due to the unique design structure of the first sealing unit and the second sealing unit of the switch in the embodiments of the present application, the sealing effect of the product is more effective and reliable through the process of assembling two sealing gaskets and the V-shaped sealing seat structure, which not only ensures the operation performance of the product, but also reaches the IP65 level of the protection level. The switch of the present application greatly improves the adaptability of the product in different scenarios, especially can be widely used in extremely humid scenarios, for example, the waterproof lead seal switch of the present application is suitable for use in the humid environment of underground rail transit.
