[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of the utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and several embodiments of the utility model will be provided. However, the utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and complete.

[0018] For examples, please refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: A knife switch operating lever with locking function includes a knife switch body 1. An operating groove 2 is provided on the front of the knife switch body 1. A locking hole 3 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of one side of the operating groove 2. An operating lever body 4 passes through the inner side of the operating groove 2. A locking component 5 for locking the operating lever body 4 is provided inside and on one side of the operating lever body 4. A trigger 6 is fixedly connected to the top end of the operating lever body 4 away from the operating groove 2. A switch 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the front of the knife switch body 1. An indicator light 8 is provided above the switch 7. The switch 7 and the indicator light 8 are electrically connected. One end of the operating lever body 4 extends into the interior of the knife switch body 1 through the operating slide 2. The center of the front of the knife switch body 1 adopts an arc-shaped protrusion design. The operating slide 2 is also arc-shaped. The surface of the operating lever body 4 and the operating slide 2 are slidably connected. The locking assembly 5 includes an insulating push rod 501 that penetrates one side of the operating rod body 4. The insulating push rod 501 has a T-shaped structure. The operating rod body 4 adopts a hollow structure design. A rotating plate 502 is provided inside the operating rod body 4. A rotating shaft 503 is provided in the middle of the rotating plate 502. The two ends of the rotating shaft 503 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the operating rod body 4, respectively. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 503 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating plate 502. One end of the insulating push rod 501 extending into the operating rod body 4 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating plate 502 through a shaft seat. A return spring 504 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating plate 502 away from the insulating pressing rod 501. The end of the return spring 504 away from the rotating plate 502 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the operating rod body 4. A locking rod 505 is provided on the side of the rotating plate 502 away from the return spring 504. One end of the locking rod 505 extends to the outer wall of the operating rod body 4. The other end of the locking rod 505 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 506. The connecting plate 506 and the rotating plate 502 are movably connected. A telescopic spring 507 is sleeved on the outer wall of the end of the locking rod 505 located inside the operating rod body 4. The end of the locking rod 505 extending to the outside of the operating rod body 4 is engaged with the locking hole 3.

[0019] When the operating lever body 4 completes the closing action, the trigger 6 will trigger the switch 7. Since the switch 7 and the indicator light 8 are electrically connected, the indicator light 8 will light up after the switch 7 is triggered, which will intuitively show that the knife switch is currently in the closed state, avoid the staff from making incorrect operations due to misjudgment, and ensure that the closing operation is accurate and in place. In this embodiment, when the operating lever body 4 is in the off state, the locking lever 505, under the pushing action of the reset spring 504, is engaged inside the locking hole 3 by the force of the rotating plate 502, thereby achieving reliable locking of the operating lever body 4, effectively preventing the knife switch from being closed due to misoperation during maintenance, and greatly improving the safety of equipment maintenance and use.

[0020] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, with the operating lever body 4 in the off state, the locking lever 505, under the pushing action of the return spring 504 and the rotating plate 502, is locked inside the locking hole 3, which can reliably lock the operating lever body 4 and prevent the switch from being accidentally closed during maintenance, greatly improving the safety of equipment maintenance and use. When a closing operation is required, the operator first presses the insulating pressing lever 501. The insulating pressing lever 501 moves into the operating lever body 4, causing the rotating plate 502 to rotate around the rotating shaft 503. During the rotation of the rotating plate 502, the return spring 505 is compressed. 04. Simultaneously, the locking lever 505 moves into the operating lever body 4 under the action of the telescopic spring 507, causing the locking lever 505 to separate from the locking hole 3 and releasing the locking of the operating lever body 4. At this time, the operator can push the operating lever body 4 to slide in the operating slide groove 2, so that the operating lever body 4 completes the closing action. At the same time, the trigger 6 will trigger the switch 7. Since the switch 7 and the indicator light 8 are electrically connected, the indicator light 8 will light up after the switch 7 is triggered, which will intuitively show that the knife switch is currently in the closed state, avoiding the operator from making incorrect operations due to misjudgment, and ensuring that the closing operation is accurate and in place.

[0021] The knife switch body 1, switch 7 and indicator light 8 used in this utility model are all existing known electrical devices, and can all be purchased and used directly on the market. Their structure, circuit and control principle are all existing known technologies. Therefore, the structure, circuit and control principle of the knife switch body 1, switch 7 and indicator light 8 will not be described in detail here.
