Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable construction, and in particular to a cable conduit threading device and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During the construction phase of power construction sites, a large number of pipelines are buried. During the cable laying process, the cables need to pass through the pre-buried pipelines. However, the existing technology has the following defects: 1. The exposed copper core at the cable end is very hard and has sharp edges. This easily causes friction or even scratches against the inner wall of the pipe (especially soft plastic pipes like PE and PVC) during threading. These scratches can form longitudinal grooves or burrs on the inner wall of the pipe, reducing its structural strength. The resulting sharp protrusions can also scratch the cable insulation, leading to insulation failure and a sudden increase in the risk of short circuits.

[0003] 2. During the cable conduit threading process, the copper core tip may become embedded in the conduit wall material, causing a mechanical bite, which can cause the cable to become stuck and unable to be pushed forward. This requires removing the cable and re-threading, significantly reducing efficiency and even damaging the cable itself.

[0004] 3. When relying on manual pushing, the axial thrust is difficult to maintain uniformity, which can easily increase the friction between the cable and the pipe wall; the traction line method requires pre-threading the traction rope, which is also a very troublesome task over long distances, and it is still impossible to avoid the copper core at the end of the cable from contacting the pipe wall during traction.

[0005] Some existing protective devices (such as cable end sleeves) attempt to alleviate this problem, but they suffer from inherent drawbacks such as easy detachment, inability to provide full protection, and inability to prevent clogging. Therefore, a pipe threading device and construction method are urgently needed that can completely isolate the cable copper core from contact with the pipe wall, actively provide traction power, and adapt to the pipe's inner diameter, thereby fundamentally eliminating the risk of damage to both the pipe wall and the cable. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to make up for the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a cable conduit threading device and a construction method thereof.

[0007] A cable conduit threading device, comprising a pulling device capable of traveling in a pre-buried conduit, characterized in that: The pulling device and the clamping device form an integral whole, and a traveling device is detachably fixedly connected to one side of the clamping device. A winding roller is provided on the pulling device, and a traction rope is wound around the winding roller. The traction rope is connected to a clip, and the clip is embedded in the edge of one end of the embedded pipe. The device drives the pulling device and the clamping device to the other end of the embedded pipe. After the cable end is inserted into and fixed in the clamping device, the pulling device is started to clamp the cable and return to the end of the embedded pipe where the clip is installed, thereby completing the cable threading.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to better realize the present invention, the pulling device and the clamping device share a rectangular shell, and the front end opening of the shell serves as a pulling mechanism mounting slot. The four walls of the pulling mechanism mounting slot are fixedly connected to a winding roller fixing plate, and the winding roller fixing plate is rotatably connected to a winding roller. There are 4 winding rollers connected end to end, and the adjacent winding rollers are connected end to end through a bevel gear set. One of the winding rollers is driven forward and reverse by a driving motor.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to better realize the present invention, the motor shaft of the drive motor faces the outside of the pulling mechanism mounting groove, the bottom of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pulling mechanism mounting groove, and two drive shaft fixing plates are fixedly connected in parallel in the pulling mechanism mounting groove. The drive shaft fixing plate is rotatably connected to the drive shaft, and the drive shaft is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor through a bevel gear transmission, and the drive shaft is connected to the rotating shaft of a winding roller through a chain transmission.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to better implement the present invention, the traction rope is a high-performance polyethylene fiber line; and the clip is a U-shaped elastic clip.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to better implement the present invention, a control chip and a battery for controlling and connecting all electrical components are installed inside the housing, and the control chip is connected to an external mechanical switch or a remote control via a wireless connection.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to better realize the present invention, the clamping device includes a clamping cylinder arranged around the shell, and a semi-through hole is opened at the bottom of the shell as a cable clamping hole. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder serves as a clamping rod and extends from the side into the cable clamping hole to clamp the cable end.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to better realize the present invention, the traveling device includes a traveling base fixed to the bottom of the shell by a quick-release structure connected by magnetism or snaps, a through hole is provided in the center of the traveling base as a cable passage hole, spring rods are provided around the traveling base, and traveling wheels with motors are provided at the ends of the spring rods. The traveling wheels are made to stick to the inner wall of the embedded pipe through the extension and contraction of the spring rods, thereby driving the entire device to move.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to better implement the present invention, the traveling device is provided with several sets, and the spring rod stroke of each set is different to adapt to the embedded pipes with different inner diameters.

[0015] Based on the above cable conduit device, the specific construction method is as follows: S1, preparation stage, according to the diameter of the embedded pipe under construction, select a set of matching traveling devices and quickly install them on the bottom of the shell; S2: Clamp the four clips at 90-degree angles to the edge of the wall at one end of the embedded pipe, and squeeze the traveling wheel by hand to place the entire device inside the embedded pipe, with the traveling wheel fitting against the inner wall of the embedded pipe; S3, movement before pulling, the traveling wheel rotates, driving the entire device to move to the other end of the embedded pipe. During this process, the winding roller pays off the line and releases the traction rope connected to the clip; S4, cable clamping, insert one end of the cable into the clamping device, the clamping cylinder is activated, the exposed copper core of the cable end is covered and clamped in the shell; S5, the driving motor rotates, driving the reel-up roller to reel in the traction rope. Since the clip is fixed, the entire device will move with the cable to complete the pipe threading.

[0016] Furthermore, in order to better implement the present invention, in S5, the traveling wheels are synchronously reversed to assist the entire device in moving in the reverse direction.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Full isolation protection: The copper core at the cable end is completely enclosed in the outer shell through a clamping device, completely eliminating the contact between the copper core and the pipe wall, avoiding scratches on the inner wall of the pipe and the cable insulation layer, and eliminating the risk of two-way damage from the root.

[0018] 2. Adaptive pipe diameter: The spring rod stroke of the traveling device is adjustable, and with multiple sets of replaceable traveling wheel assemblies, it can quickly adapt to embedded pipes with different inner diameters and has strong versatility.

[0019] 3. Unique "deliver first, then pull" dual-drive mode: The traveling wheel pushes the device to the far end of the pipeline, releasing the traction rope, and the reel pulls in the opposite direction to complete the pipe threading. The traveling wheel simultaneously reverses to provide auxiliary thrust, effectively preventing cable jams.

[0020] 4. Construction efficiency doubled: the traction rope pre-installation and pipe threading processes are completed at one time, eliminating the need for manual pre-threading of the traction rope and significantly shortening the pipe threading time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
