Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5In this embodiment of the utility model, a marine copper watertight switch with an indicator light includes: a copper housing 1, a cover 2 fixedly connected to the top of the copper housing 1 by screws, an arc-shaped mounting plate 3 fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the copper housing 1, a wiring conduit 4 fixedly connected to one side of the copper housing 1, a protective mechanism 5 provided at one end of the arc-shaped mounting plate 3, and a support mechanism 6 provided on one side of the arc-shaped mounting plate 3.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An arc-shaped through groove 7 is provided at the other end of the arc-shaped mounting plate 3. A bolt 8 is provided at the other end of the arc-shaped mounting plate 3. The arc-shaped through groove 7 is adapted to the bolt 8. A lamp 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the cover 2. A rotating handle 10 is provided at the other end of the top of the cover 2. When installing the watertight switch, the bolt 8 can be passed through the arc-shaped through groove 7 and connected to the installation part of the ship. By adjusting the position of the bolt 8 in the arc-shaped through groove 7, the installation position of the watertight switch can be finely adjusted to adapt to different installation requirements.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The protective mechanism 5 includes an arc-shaped support half-frame plate 501, an ear block 502, a thin rod 503 and a spring 504. The arc-shaped support half-frame plate 501 is fixedly connected to one end of the arc-shaped mounting plate 3. The ear block 502 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the arc-shaped support half-frame plate 501. The thin rod 503 is fixedly connected to one end of the inner side of the ear block 502. The spring 504 is fixedly connected to the other end of the inner side of the ear block 502. The arc-shaped protective cover 505, connecting block 506, and through-view window 507 are connected. The arc-shaped protective cover 505 is slidably connected to the top of the arc-shaped supporting half-frame plate 501. The connecting block 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped protective cover 505. The through-view window 507 is located in the middle of the arc-shaped protective cover 505. The connecting block 506 is slidably connected to the thin rod 503. The other end of the spring 504 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 506. The arc-shaped protective cover 505 protects the copper shell 1 and the shell cover 2. At this time, the arc-shaped protective cover 505, together with the arc-shaped supporting half-frame plate 501, forms a relatively closed space, which can effectively prevent water, dust, debris, etc. from entering, and can also prevent external impact. When the switch is operated, the arc-shaped protective cover 505 will slide on the top of the arc-shaped support half-frame plate 501. The connecting block 506 will slide synchronously on the thin rod 503 as the arc-shaped protective cover 505 moves, and will compress the spring 504, so that the spring 504 is in a compressed and stored state. When the arc-shaped protective cover 505 slides to the appropriate position, the crew can operate the rotating handle 10 smoothly. After the operation of the rotating handle 10 is completed, no external force is applied to the arc-shaped protective cover 505. Due to its own elastic restoring force, the spring 504 will begin to extend, driving the arc-shaped protective cover 505 back to the initial closed position, and re-protecting the copper housing 1 and the cover 2.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The support mechanism 6 includes a threaded rod 601, a polygonal handle 602, and a U-shaped rod 603. The threaded rod 601 is threaded to the inner end of the front of the arc-shaped mounting plate 3. The polygonal handle 602 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 601. The U-shaped rod 603 is rotatably connected to one end of the polygonal handle 602. The movable insert rod 604 and the elastic support open ring 605 are provided. The movable insert rod 604 is movably inserted into the inner end of the front side, and the elastic support open ring 605 is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of the U-shaped rod 603. The other end of the U-shaped rod 603 is fixedly connected to the movable insert rod 604. There are two sets of elastic support open rings 605. When it is necessary to support the exposed line body that passes through the connecting pipe 4, the polygonal handle 602 is rotated to drive the threaded rod 601 to rotate and move on the arc-shaped mounting plate 3. The movement of the threaded rod 601 will push the U-shaped rod 603 to move. As the U-shaped rod 603 moves, it will drive the movable insert rod 604 to move, thereby causing the elastic support open ring 605 to engage with the main line body and support it, preventing the line body from loosening, shifting or being damaged due to vibration, swaying or other factors during ship navigation. Furthermore, by adjusting the threaded rod 601, support operations can be performed on the appropriate part of the line body.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Step 1, the arc-shaped protective cover 505 protects the copper housing 1 and the cover 2. At this time, the arc-shaped protective cover 505, together with the arc-shaped support half-frame plate 501, forms a relatively closed space, which can effectively prevent water, dust, debris, etc. from entering, prevent external impact, and prevent accidental changes in the switch state due to accidental touch. When the crew needs to operate the switch, they will push the arc-shaped protective cover 505 to slide on the top of the arc-shaped support half-frame plate 501. The connecting block 506 will slide synchronously on the thin rod 503 as the arc-shaped protective cover 505 moves, and will compress the spring 504, so that the spring 504 is in a compressed and stored energy state. When the arc-shaped protective cover 505 slides to the appropriate position, the crew can smoothly operate the rotating handle 10 to complete the rotation. After the handle 10 is operated, no external force is applied to the arc-shaped protective cover 505. Due to its own elastic restoring force, the spring 504 will begin to extend. The extension of the spring 504 will push the connecting block 506 to slide in the opposite direction on the thin rod 503, and drive the arc-shaped protective cover 505 back to the initial closed position, thus re-protecting the copper housing 1 and the cover 2. The operation is simple and direct, and the crew can complete it by hand without the need for additional tools, which improves the efficiency of operation. There is no need for manual reset, which saves time and effort and ensures the integrity of the protective structure. The through window 507 allows the operator to observe the working status of the switch throughout the entire protection process. This way, the operator can understand the working status of the switch at any time without frequently opening the protective cover, which is convenient and efficient, and also ensures the integrity and reliability of the protective structure. Step two: When support is needed for the exposed cable through the conduit 4, rotate the polygonal handle 602 to drive the threaded rod 601 to rotate and move on the arc-shaped mounting plate 3. The movement of the threaded rod 601 will push the U-shaped rod 603 to move. As the U-shaped rod 603 moves, it will drive the movable insert rod 604 to move, thereby causing the elastic support opening ring 605 to engage with and support the main cable, preventing the cable from loosening, shifting, or being damaged due to vibrations, swaying, or other factors during ship navigation. Furthermore, by adjusting the threaded rod 601, support operations can be performed at appropriate parts of the cable. This adjustment method is simple and flexible, and can adapt to the support needs of cables with different diameters and directions, improving the versatility and adaptability of the support mechanism. Step three: When installing the watertight switch, the bolt 8 can be passed through the arc-shaped through groove 7 and connected to the installation location on the ship. By adjusting the position of the bolt 8 in the arc-shaped through groove 7, the installation position of the watertight switch can be finely adjusted to adapt to different installation requirements.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
