[0018] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] Figure 2 This is a partial perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] Figure 3 This is a partial explosion diagram of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] Figure 4 This is a perspective view of the handle according to one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A three-position disconnect switch includes a housing 1, a handle rotatably mounted on the housing, and a bracket 3 driven by the handle installed inside the housing. The bracket is provided with a movable contact piece 31 and a stationary contact piece 4. One end of the stationary contact piece is connected to a wiring assembly, and the other end is provided with an integrally formed first contact piece 41 and a second contact piece 42. The movable contact piece includes a first movable contact piece disposed opposite to the first contact piece and a second movable contact piece disposed opposite to the second contact piece. The first and second contact pieces are integrally bent. The stationary contact piece adopts a structure in which one end is connected to the wiring assembly and the other end directly forms two contact pieces. The original structure used a C-shape, which would have required more material for the lower contact piece. This structure directly uses the upper contact piece separation method, which saves materials and reduces costs. The handle can drive the bracket to rise and fall via a cam, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail. A position slot 21 can be provided on the handle to achieve switching between multiple positions.

[0023] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the wiring assembly includes a frame 51 and bolts, with one end of the stationary contact piece extending into the frame. The bolts are used to engage with the frame to achieve wiring, which is existing technology and will not be described further.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, one end of the stationary contact piece is provided with a through hole 43 for a bolt to pass through. The overall structure is relatively compact.

[0025] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the housing is provided with at least two positioning bosses 11, and a positioning groove for fixing the stationary contact piece is provided between the two positioning bosses. This makes the installation more stable.

[0026] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the housing is also provided with an operating hole 13, which is positioned opposite to the bolt. A screwdriver is inserted into the operating bolt.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a cover 6 is also included. The cover is used to cover the operating hole. The bottom end face of the cover is provided with at least two retaining arms 61, and the cover is provided with a through hole 62. A pin 63 is also included. The pin passes through the through hole to pry open the retaining arms, preventing the cover from being removed. The retaining arms have a retractable elastic force, so there is no problem when they are installed. When the pin is installed, it pries open the retaining arms, causing them to block the top inner wall of the housing, preventing them from being removed from the mounting hole, thus preventing unauthorized operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the pin has a first lead-sealing hole 631, and the upper end face of the cover has a support. The support has a second lead-sealing hole 621 opposite to the first lead-sealing hole. After installation, it can be fixed by passing a lead wire through the first and second lead-sealing holes.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, the first contact piece and the second contact piece are arranged parallel to each other.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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.
