A control panel, a self-propelled switch apparatus, and a power device (13). The control panel comprises a push rod (1) connected to a machine body and a panel assembly (2) reciprocatingly sliding on the push rod. The control panel further comprises lock assemblies (41, 42) connected to the panel assembly. The lock assemblies (41, 42) are adapted to lock the panel assembly on the push rod and unlock the control panel and the push rod, so that a device in which the control panel is disposed can be switched between a manual-power driving mode and a self-propelled driving mode. By means of the solution, a garden tool can walk in a self-propelled manner, and can also be pushed to walk.
