The top of the tension spring 61 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 62, and the surface of the mounting plate 62 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 1. A pull rope 63 is fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the fixed plate 5, and the bottom of the pull rope 63 extends through to the bottom of the mounting box 1.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the control mechanism 6, the wheel handle 3 can be fixedly controlled, avoiding the wheel handle 3 from being easily driven by external factors, which would lead to the wheel handle 3 being misoperated, thus improving the stability of the wheel handle 3 in use.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 A pull ring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pull rope 63, and the pull ring 7 is located at the bottom of the mounting box 1.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the pull ring 7, it is easier for the user to pull the pull rope 63 to move, avoiding the difficulty in squeezing the pull rope 63 during the process of moving it, which would make the pull rope 63 difficult to pull, thus improving the control efficiency of the pull rope 63.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 A protective sleeve 8 is fitted on the surface of the pull rope 63, and the surface of the protective sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 1.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a protective sleeve 8, the pull rope 63 can be isolated from contact with the mounting box 1, avoiding friction between the pull rope 63 and the surface of the mounting box 1 when the pull rope 63 moves, which would cause the surface of the pull rope 63 to be worn, thus improving the installation safety of the pull rope 63.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 A reinforcing sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the pull rope 63, and the top of the reinforcing sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 5.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the reinforcing sleeve 9, the connection between the pull rope 63 and the fixed plate 5 can be reinforced, so as to prevent the pull rope 63 and the fixed plate 5 from breaking during use, prevent the pull rope 63 and the fixed plate 5 from not being able to cooperate, and improve the use effect of the pull rope 63 and the fixed plate 5.

[0031] refer to Figure 3 A reinforcing rib 10 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the mounting plate 62, and the surface of the reinforcing rib 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 1.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the reinforcing rib 10, the connection between the mounting plate 62 and the mounting box 1 can be reinforced, preventing the mounting plate 62 and the mounting box 1 from breaking during use, preventing the mounting plate 62 and the mounting box 1 from not being able to fit together, and improving the use effect of the mounting plate 62 and the mounting box 1.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 A protective plate 11 is fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting box 1, and the protective plate 11 is located on the front side of the fixing plate 5.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, the wheel handle 3 of the selector valve body 2 is locked in the figure. When it is necessary to rotate the wheel handle 3, pull the pull rope 63 downward. The pull rope 63 drives the left side of the fixing plate 5 to move downward in an arc shape. The fixing plate 5 stretches the tension spring 61, and the fixing plate 5 exits the interior of the locking groove 4. The locking groove 4 and the wheel handle 3 lose their fixing effect. At this time, the user can rotate the wheel handle 3 to open the selector valve body 2.

[0036] In summary, this selector valve handwheel locking device, through the coordinated use of the mounting box 1, selector valve body 2, handle 3, locking groove 4, fixing plate 5, and control mechanism 6, solves the problem that the selector valve's control handle is easily pulled, leading to accidental activation by personnel and causing the selector valve to open unintentionally. When the selector valve is opened unintentionally, it affects the entire gas fire extinguishing system, reducing the stability of the selector valve's operation.
