The invention relates to an electric mechanism of an isolating switch and an operating method, designed to solve the technical problem of poor design of a traditional similar mechanism. The mechanism comprises a
gear transmission unit, a mechanism action
interlocking unit, an electric appliance
control unit and an
external energy output unit. The mechanism is characterized in that an
electric motor, small gears, large gears, a spiral groove
camshaft and an output shaft of the mechanism are in transmission connection by a certain
transmission ratio; a conversion switch, the spiral groove
camshaft, large synchronous wheels and small synchronous wheels are connected by synchronous belts according to a certain
transmission ratio; the positions of a
interlocking component, the spiral groove
camshaft, the small synchronous wheels, a position switch and a position lock
cam are unlocked and locked by the rotation of the spiral groove camshaft; and a circuit control board, the conversion switch, the position switch, a
magnet and the
electric motor are used for controlling the rotation of the whole mechanism by a
relay on a circuit board. The mechanism has flexible and convenient installation
modes of positive installation and hanging of the isolating switch, and meets various complicated working conditions of the isolating switch.
