Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment maintenance technology, and in particular to an insulated operating rod for nighttime operations and its working method. Background Technology
[0002] Nighttime power repair and equipment maintenance are critical operations to ensure the stable operation of the power grid. These scenarios often face problems such as dim lighting and complex environments. As a core tool that directly protects the safety of operators and supports the smooth progress of operations, the adaptability of the insulated operating rod to nighttime operations is directly related to the safety and efficiency of the operation. If the performance of the tool cannot match the needs of the site, it may not only affect the progress of the operation, but also create safety hazards.
[0003] Existing insulated operating rods have significant shortcomings in practical applications. On the one hand, in terms of lighting adaptability, most products lack dedicated lighting structures. When relying on external light sources, they are prone to blurred identification of target points due to obstruction and reflection, failing to meet the lighting requirements for precision operations and resulting in low work efficiency. The few products with lighting are only equipped with a single-mode light source, which cannot cover lighting needs at different distances and can easily create blind spots in complex scenarios, posing risks of misjudgment and accidental touches. On the other hand, in terms of grip experience, traditional grip structures are simple, making it easy for operators wearing insulated gloves to slip. Furthermore, prolonged operation can easily lead to hand fatigue, affecting operational accuracy and posing safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

The gear shafts of the first gear and the second gear are rotatably passed through the insulating housing. The focusing knob is located on the gear of the first gear and is located outside the insulating housing.
[0007] Optionally, the supplementary lighting module includes multiple supplementary lights, which are arranged in a ring around the insulating housing. Each supplementary light is covered with a diffusion optical cover, and each supplementary light is electrically connected to the control circuit.

[0009] Optionally, the triggering mode of the main control switch is button triggering. When the button duration of the main control switch reaches a preset first duration threshold, the main control chip controls the main light source and the supplementary light module to remain on or off. When the button duration of the main control switch reaches a preset second duration threshold, the main control chip controls the main light source and the supplementary light module to flash in an emergency.
[0010] Optionally, a photosensitive sensor is also included. The photosensitive sensor is disposed inside the light outlet and connected to the insulating housing.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for operating an insulated operating rod for nighttime operations, the insulated operating rod for nighttime operations provided in any of the above embodiments comprising: The main light source is used for primary illumination; The zoom component is used to adjust the beam angle of the main light source; The supplementary lighting module is used for supplementary illumination; The control circuit is used to control the main light source and the supplementary lighting module to turn on or off. The insulating rod drives the insulating housing to move, which in turn drives the working head to move, so that the working head is aligned with the operating point; Insulation operations are performed using the aforementioned working head; Specifically, when the other end of the zoom component moves along the light-emitting path toward the main light source, the beam angle of the main light source is increased, causing the main light source to flood; when the other end of the zoom component moves along the light-emitting path toward the light-emitting port, the beam angle of the main light source is decreased, causing the main light source to focus.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides an insulated operating rod for nighttime operations, addressing the technical problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and safety hazards associated with traditional insulated operating rods during nighttime operations. It achieves the following benefits: By integrating an adjustable-focus main light source and a surrounding supplementary lighting module, the operator can flexibly adjust the beam angle of the main light source according to the actual working distance, achieving continuous switching from focused to diffused light. This ensures clear target visibility during long-distance operations and uniform light coverage during close-range operations. Simultaneously, the supplementary lighting module eliminates lateral shadows cast by the operator's hands and tools, improving the visibility of the surrounding environment and preventing misjudgments or misoperations due to insufficient light. This solves the core problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and safety hazards during nighttime operations caused by the fixed lighting angle and blind spots of traditional poles. Furthermore, the modular design allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the lighting unit, working head, and insulated rod, reducing maintenance costs and complexity and improving operational efficiency.
[0016] Furthermore, the lens sleeve is driven to move by a transmission mechanism consisting of gears and a synchronous conveyor belt, enabling precise, smooth, and reliable stepless adjustment of the beam angle of the main light source. The coaxial design of the convex lens and the sleeve effectively prevents optical path deviation and ensures the stability of beam quality during focusing. The external focusing knob allows operators to easily and accurately adjust the beam even when wearing gloves, improving the efficiency and operating experience of nighttime operations.
[0017] Furthermore, by using multiple supplementary lights arranged around the perimeter and a matching diffuser optics, a wide-range, blind-spot-free supplementary lighting is achieved for the side of the operating area and the surrounding environment. This eliminates the shadows cast on the body and tools when the main light source is used, and improves the uniformity of lighting around the operating point. The diffuser optics soften and diffuse the light, avoiding glare from strong light, and ensures that the operator can clearly observe hand movements and the status of nearby equipment while focusing on the front of the tool, thus improving the safety and accuracy of operation in complex environments.
[0018] Furthermore, by centrally located the main control switch and the supplementary light control switch at the end of the insulating rod, the operator can quickly and directly switch the working status of the main light source and the supplementary light without changing their grip, thus improving the convenience and response speed of operation. The integration of the main control chip and the light source drive module enables centralized and precise control of the two types of light sources, avoiding the possibility of misoperation and ensuring the reliability and stability of lighting mode switching. While ensuring safety, it also optimizes the efficiency of human-computer interaction.
[0019] Furthermore, the system utilizes a first duration threshold to switch between normal lighting states and a second duration threshold to activate an emergency flashing mode. Different button durations trigger different functions, enabling a single switch to control a composite lighting mode. This simplifies the operation logic and control interface, ensures rapid issuance of warning signals in emergency situations, and improves operational reliability and response efficiency in complex working environments.
[0020] Furthermore, by using a built-in photosensor to monitor ambient illuminance in real time, the main light source has the ability to automatically adjust its output power. It can intelligently match the lighting intensity according to different lighting conditions such as dusk and night, effectively reducing energy consumption and significantly extending battery life while ensuring clear visibility of the work surface. This avoids the burden of frequent manual adjustments, allowing operators to focus more on the work itself. It not only improves the continuity of nighttime work but also enhances the practicality and economy of the equipment under different lighting environments.
[0021] Furthermore, by integrating the power module into the end of the insulating rod, the overall weight distribution of the operating rod is optimized, improving grip balance and operational stability; the built-in voltage regulator module eliminates the impact of battery voltage fluctuations on light source brightness, ensuring continuous and stable lighting output; the resistor voltage divider circuit monitors battery power in real time, providing accurate data support for power management; the charging management chip ensures the safety and efficiency of the battery charging process; and the charging port enables convenient charging, extending continuous working time and reducing energy replenishment pressure during field operations.
[0022] Furthermore, by setting a transparent insulating top cover to seal the light outlet, the internal optical components are effectively protected from dust, moisture and external force damage, ensuring the reliable operation of the lighting system in harsh environments such as rain and fog. The insulating top cover and the working head are connected by threads, which enables quick replacement of the working head. This allows a single operating rod to be flexibly adapted to various working tools such as hooks and clamps. While ensuring good light transmission and insulation strength, it also improves the functionality and maintenance convenience of the tool, meeting the needs of diverse working scenarios.
[0023] Furthermore, the multi-layered composite structure of memory foam, elastic silicone, and nitrile rubber enhances the shock absorption and fit of the grip area. At the same time, the palm-fitting groove makes the grip more ergonomic, reducing muscle fatigue during long-term work, preventing slippage, and improving operational safety and comfort.
[0024] The working method of the insulating operating rod for nighttime operations of the present invention solves the technical problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and safety hazards of traditional insulating operating rods in nighttime operations, and achieves beneficial effects: Through the synergistic effect of the main light source and the supplementary lighting module, a comprehensive and adjustable lighting solution is provided for nighttime operations. The operator can use the zoom adjustment component to precisely control the beam angle of the main light source or use the supplementary lighting module to supplement the light according to the actual working distance, achieving seamless switching from focused light to floodlight and eliminating lateral shadows caused by the operator's hands and tools. This ensures that the target is clearly visible when operating at a distance and that the light coverage is uniform when operating at close distance, improving the visibility of the surrounding environment of the operating point. At the same time, the centralized management of the control circuit makes the switching of lighting modes more convenient and reliable, avoiding the possibility of misoperation, improving the accuracy and safety of operation, and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the work process.

The main light source 25 is disposed inside the insulating housing 22, and a light path is formed between the main light source 25 and the light outlet. One end of the zoom assembly is connected to the insulating housing 22. The other end of the component is movably disposed on the light output path, and the zoom component is used to adjust the beam angle of the main light source 25; the supplementary light module is ring- disposed on the insulating housing 22, and the supplementary light module is used for supplementary lighting; the control circuit 26 is disposed inside the insulating housing 22, and the control circuit 26 is electrically connected to the main light source 25 and the supplementary light module respectively, and the control circuit 26 is used to control the opening or closing of the main light source 25 and the supplementary light module; one end of the working head 1 is detachably connected to the other end of the insulating housing 22.
[0032] It should be noted that, in order to achieve plug-and-play functionality, in this embodiment, preferably, the lighting module 2 is threadedly connected to both the insulating rod 6 and the working head 1; to achieve waterproofing with an IP65 rating, in this embodiment, preferably, O-rings are provided between the lighting module 2 and the insulating rod 6, and between the lighting module 2 and the working head 1; the insulating shell 22 is an insulating and waterproof shell, and the material of the insulating shell 22 is a glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material made of glass fiber and epoxy resin; to provide insulation protection, in this embodiment, preferably, the rod body is made of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material, which includes glass fiber and epoxy resin; for ease of installation, in this embodiment, preferably, a support plate is provided in the middle of the insulating shell 22, and the main light source 25 and one end of the zoom assembly are provided on the support plate, and the support plate and the insulating shell are connected... The other end of body 22 forms a sealed cavity, in which the control circuit 26 is installed. The sealed cavity is insulated from the insulating rod 6 by epoxy resin potting. The potting adopts the "vacuum degassing + gradient curing" process and meets the 40kV power frequency withstand voltage test requirements. The adjustment range of the beam angle can be designed according to actual needs. In order to accurately illuminate the operation point of the distant target, reduce the target blurring caused by light scattering, ensure clear identification of key parts during operation, and meet the overall lighting needs of the surrounding environment during close-range operation, in this embodiment, preferably, the adjustment range of the beam angle is 15°-60°. When the beam angle of the main light source 25 is 15°, the main light source 25 is focused and the range of the main light source 25 is 8 meters. When the beam angle of the main light source 25 is 60°, the main light source 25 is flooded and the range of the main light source 25 is 3 meters. The working head 1 is configured according to actual needs, including but not limited to hooks, clamps, etc.
[0033] In order to form a dynamic balance structure with the lighting module 2, making the center of gravity of the device closer to the other end of the insulating rod 6 and reducing the load on the arm muscles, in this embodiment, preferably, the other end of the insulating rod 6 is provided with the handle 9, the handle 9 is provided with the battery compartment 95, and the battery is provided in the battery compartment 95.
[0034] For ease of charging, in this embodiment, preferably, the charging indicator light 11 is located above the grip 9, wherein the charging indicator light 11 flashes when the battery is low or charging, and remains on when the battery is fully charged.
[0035] In this embodiment, preferably, the main control chip, the charging management chip, and the optical drive module are integrated on a PCB board.
[0036] Therefore, the night-operation insulated operating rod of the present invention solves the technical problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and safety hazards of traditional insulated operating rods in night-operation, achieving the following beneficial effects: By integrating an adjustable-focus main light source 25 and a surrounding supplementary lighting module, the operator can flexibly adjust the beam angle of the main light source 25 according to the actual working distance, realizing continuous switching from focused light to floodlight, ensuring clear target when operating at a long distance and uniform light coverage when operating at a close distance. At the same time, the operator can also use the supplementary lighting module to eliminate the lateral shadows caused by the operator's hands and tools, improve the visibility of the surrounding environment of the operating point, and avoid misjudgment or misoperation due to insufficient light. This solves the core problem of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and safety hazards in night-operation caused by the fixed lighting angle and blind spots of traditional poles. The modular design allows the lighting unit, working head 1, and insulating rod 6 to be quickly disassembled and replaced, reducing maintenance costs and complexity, and improving work efficiency.
[0037] like Figures 2-7 As shown, in one embodiment, the zoom assembly includes a first sleeve 24, a second sleeve 28, a convex lens 23, a synchronous conveyor belt 27, a first gear, a second gear, and a focusing knob 5. The first sleeve 24 is connected to the insulating housing 22, and one end of the first sleeve 24 is sleeved on the main light source 25. One end of the second sleeve 28 is movably sleeved on the other end of the first sleeve 24, and the convex lens 23 is sealed on the other end of the second sleeve 28. The first sleeve 24, the second sleeve 28, and the convex lens 23 together form a single unit. The first sleeve 24, the second sleeve 28, and the convex lens 23 are all located on the light output path. The synchronous conveyor belt 27 is fixedly connected to the second sleeve 28. The synchronous conveyor belt 27 is sleeved on the first gear and the second gear. The first gear and the second gear are spaced apart. The gear shafts of the first gear and the second gear are rotatably mounted on the insulating housing 22. The focusing knob 5 is located on the gear shaft of the first gear and is located on the outside of the insulating housing 22.
[0038] It should be noted that when the focusing knob 5 is rotated, the gear shaft of the first gear rotates, driving the synchronous conveyor belt 27 to rotate, which in turn drives the second sleeve 28 to move axially; a connecting block 29 is provided between the synchronous conveyor belt 27 and the second sleeve 28; in order to ensure that the gear and the synchronous conveyor belt 27 can accurately control the stroke, the movement range of the second sleeve 28 is adapted to the total adjustment range of the focusing knob 5; in order to maintain the sealing of the equipment, in this embodiment, preferably, a bearing sealing cover 3 is also included, the bearing sealing cover 3 is rotatably connected to the gear shaft of the second gear, and the bearing sealing cover 3 is located on the outside of the insulating housing 22.
[0039] Thus, the lens sleeve is moved by the transmission mechanism consisting of gears and synchronous conveyor belt 27, achieving precise, smooth and reliable stepless adjustment of the beam angle of the main light source 25; the coaxial design of the convex lens 23 and the sleeve effectively prevents optical path deviation and ensures the stability of beam quality during focusing; the external focusing knob 5 allows operators to easily and accurately adjust the beam even when wearing gloves, improving the efficiency and operating experience of nighttime operations.
[0040] In one embodiment, the supplementary lighting module includes a plurality of supplementary lights 4, which are arranged in a ring around the insulating housing 22. Each supplementary light 4 is covered with a diffusion optical cover, and each supplementary light 4 is electrically connected to the control circuit 26.
[0041] It should be noted that the number of supplementary lights 4 is designed according to requirements. In order to avoid uneven light and simplify the device structure, in this embodiment, it is preferred that there are 4 supplementary lights 4, which are evenly distributed on the insulating shell 22. The light emission angle of the diffuser is designed according to actual needs. In order to make the supplementary lighting effect better, in this embodiment, it is preferred that the light emission angle of the diffuser is 180°, the material of the diffuser is polycarbonate, the light transmittance of the diffuser is ≥90%, the haze of the diffuser is 20%-30%, and the supplementary lighting radius is 1.5 meters, so that the ambient illuminance is increased to 50-100 lux.
[0042] Thus, by using multiple supplementary lights 4 arranged around the perimeter and a matching diffuser optics, a wide-range, blind-spot-free supplementary lighting is achieved for the side of the operating area and the surrounding environment, eliminating the shadows on the body and tools generated when the main light source 25 is irradiated, and improving the uniformity of lighting in the area around the operating point; the diffuser optics make the light soft and diffused, avoiding glare from strong light, ensuring that the operator can clearly observe hand movements and the status of nearby equipment while focusing on the front of the tool, thus improving the safety and accuracy of operation in complex environments.
[0043] like Figures 2-8 As shown, in one embodiment, the control circuit 26 includes a main control switch 8, a supplementary light control switch 7, a light source driving module, and a main control chip. The main control switch 8 and the supplementary light control switch 7 are both located on the other end of the insulating rod 6. The light source driving module and the main control chip are both located inside the insulating housing 22. The main control switch 8, the supplementary light control switch 7, and the light source driving module are all electrically connected to the main control chip. The light source driving module is electrically connected to the main light source 25 and the supplementary light module.
[0044] It should be noted that the main control switch 8 is used to control the main light source 25 and the supplementary light module, and the supplementary light control switch 7 is used to control the supplementary light module. After receiving the input signal, the main control chip adjusts the power of the main light source 25 through the PWM signal, controls the switching and emergency strobe mode of the supplementary light 4 through the GPIO signal, and drives the charging indicator 11 to display the power status. In order to realize that the main control chip can independently drive and manage the dimming of the main light source 25 and the switching or strobe of the supplementary light 4, and avoid the power conflict or control logic coupling problem that may occur when sharing a driving circuit, in this embodiment, preferably, the light source driving module includes a first MOS transistor driving circuit and a second MOS transistor driving circuit. The first MOS transistor driving circuit and the second MOS transistor driving circuit are both located in the insulating housing 22. The first MOS transistor driving circuit and the second MOS transistor driving circuit are both electrically connected to the main control chip. The first MOS transistor driving circuit is electrically connected to the main light source 25, and the second MOS transistor driving circuit is electrically connected to the supplementary light module.
[0045] Therefore, by centrally setting the main control switch 8 and the supplementary light control switch 7 at the end of the insulating rod 6, the operator can quickly and directly switch the working state of the main light source 25 and the supplementary light 4 without changing the grip gesture, thus improving the convenience and response speed of operation. The integration of the main control chip and the light source drive module enables centralized and precise control of the two types of light sources, avoiding the possibility of misoperation and ensuring the reliability and stability of lighting mode switching. While ensuring safety, it also optimizes the efficiency of human-computer interaction.
[0046] In one embodiment, the triggering mode of the main control switch 8 is button triggering. When the button duration of the main control switch 8 reaches a preset first duration threshold, the main control chip controls the main light source 25 and the supplementary light module to remain on or off. When the button duration of the main control switch 8 reaches a preset second duration threshold, the main control chip controls the main light source 25 and the supplementary light module to flash in an emergency.
[0047] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the switching of states, in this embodiment, preferably, the first duration threshold is set to 1 second and the second duration threshold is set to 3 seconds; the frequency of emergency flashing is designed according to actual needs, and in this embodiment, preferably, the frequency of emergency flashing is 5Hz.
[0048] Therefore, by using the first duration threshold to switch the normal lighting state, and at the same time using the second duration threshold to activate the emergency flashing mode, different functions can be triggered by different button durations, realizing a single switch to control a composite lighting mode. This simplifies the operation logic and control interface, ensures that warning signals can be issued quickly in emergency situations, and improves operational reliability and response efficiency in complex working environments.
[0049] In one embodiment, a photosensor 210 is further included. The photosensor 210 is disposed inside the light outlet and is connected to the insulating housing 22. The photosensor 210 is electrically connected to the control circuit 26, so that the control circuit 26 can determine the output power of the main light source 25 based on the ambient illuminance collected by the photosensor 210.
[0050] It should be noted that the photosensitive sensor 210 is used to dynamically adjust the output power of the main light source 25. In order to extend battery life, in this embodiment, preferably, when the ambient illuminance collected by the photosensitive sensor 210 is ≤50 lux, the control circuit 26 controls the main light source 25 to output at full power, and the luminous flux of the main light source 25 is 2000 lumens. When the ambient illuminance collected by the photosensitive sensor 210 is ≥200 lux, the control circuit 26 controls the main light source 25 to output at half power, and the luminous flux of the main light source 25 is 1000 lumens.
[0051] Therefore, by using the built-in photosensitive sensor 210 to monitor the ambient illuminance in real time, the main light source 25 has the ability to automatically adjust its output power. It can intelligently match the lighting intensity according to different lighting conditions such as dusk and night, effectively reducing energy consumption and significantly extending battery life while ensuring clear visibility of the work surface. This avoids the burden of frequent manual adjustments, allowing operators to focus more on the work itself. It not only improves the continuity of nighttime work but also enhances the practicality and economy of the equipment under different lighting environments.
[0052] In one embodiment, the system further includes a power module comprising a charging port 10, a battery, a voltage regulator module, a resistor divider circuit, and a charging management chip. The charging port 10 and the battery are both located on the other end of the insulating rod 6. The voltage regulator module, the resistor divider circuit, and the charging management chip are all located within the insulating housing 22. The voltage regulator module, the resistor divider circuit, and the charging management chip are all electrically connected to the control circuit 26. The voltage regulator module, the resistor divider circuit, and the charging management chip are all electrically connected to the battery. The charging management chip is electrically connected to the charging port 10.
[0053] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the monitoring of battery power and avoid potential problems caused by battery power, this embodiment preferably includes a charging indicator light 11. The charging indicator light 11 is located on the other end of the insulating rod 6 and is electrically connected to the control circuit 26. The charging management chip feeds back the charging status signal to the control circuit 26 to ensure that the status of the charging indicator light 11 is synchronized with the charging process. In order to reduce the size of the device, this embodiment preferably includes a battery compartment 95. The battery compartment 95 is located inside the other end of the insulating rod 6 and contains the battery. The battery compartment 95 is connected to the charging port 10. The battery is designed according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the battery is preferably a 3000mAh lithium battery. In this embodiment, the charging port 10 is preferably a Type-C charging port 10.
[0054] Therefore, by integrating the power module into the end of the insulating rod 6, the overall weight distribution of the operating rod is optimized, improving grip balance and operational stability; the built-in voltage regulator module eliminates the impact of battery voltage fluctuations on light source brightness, ensuring continuous and stable lighting output; the resistor voltage divider circuit monitors battery power in real time, providing accurate data support for power management; the charging management chip ensures the safety and efficiency of the battery charging process; and the charging port 10 enables convenient charging, extending continuous working time and reducing energy replenishment pressure during field operations.
[0055] In one embodiment, a transparent insulating top cover 21 is provided on the other end of the insulating housing 22. The insulating top cover 21 is sealed on the light outlet and is threadedly connected to the working head 1.
[0056] It should be noted that, in order to achieve a light transmittance of ≥92%, in this embodiment, preferably, the top cover is made of polycarbonate; and for secure fastening, in this embodiment, the insulating top cover 21 and the insulating shell 22 are connected by four screws.
[0057] Therefore, by setting a transparent insulating top cover 21 to seal the light outlet, the internal optical components are effectively protected from dust, moisture and external force damage, ensuring the reliable operation of the lighting system in harsh environments such as rain and fog. The insulating top cover 21 is connected to the working head 1 by a thread, which realizes the quick replacement of the working head 1. This allows a single operating rod to be flexibly adapted to various working tools such as hooks and clamps. While ensuring good light transmission and insulation strength, it improves the functional expandability and maintenance convenience of the tool, meeting the needs of diverse working scenarios.
[0058] like Figure 9As shown, in one embodiment, it also includes a grip 9, which includes a grip rod 96, a memory foam pad 94, an elastic silicone layer 93, and a nitrile rubber sleeve 91. One end of the grip rod 96 is sleeved on the other end of the insulating rod 6, and the memory foam pad 94 is sleeved on the grip rod 96. The memory foam pad 94, the elastic silicone layer 93, and the nitrile rubber sleeve 91 are stacked sequentially from the inside to the outside. The nitrile rubber sleeve 91 is provided with a palm-fitting groove.
[0059] It should be noted that the grip rod 96 is made of a "glass fiber + epoxy resin" composite tube, using an integrated "winding + pultrusion" process. The glass fibers are arranged in alternating layers at 0° / 90°, which improves the bending strength by 30% compared to traditional processes. To facilitate maintenance of the grip 9, in this embodiment, preferably, the elastic silicone layer 93 is detachably connected to the nitrile rubber sleeve 91, and the inner side of the nitrile rubber sleeve 91 is provided with Velcro 92. To improve the friction between the grip 9 and the palm, in this embodiment, preferably, the elastic silicone layer 93 is uniformly distributed with raised dots and / or continuous anti-slip textures. To make the grip 9 fit the palm better, in this embodiment, preferably, the grip rod 96 is provided with a groove, and the memory foam pad layer 94, the elastic silicone layer 93, and the nitrile rubber sleeve 91 are adapted to the groove. To improve the strength of the grip 9, in this embodiment, preferably, the diameter of the grip 9 is increased by 15%-20% compared to the diameter of the insulating rod 6.
[0060] Therefore, the multi-layer composite structure of memory foam, elastic silicone and nitrile rubber improves the shock absorption performance and fit of the grip area. At the same time, the palm-fitting groove makes the grip more ergonomic, reduces muscle fatigue during long-term work, prevents slippage during work, and improves operation safety and comfort.
[0061] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for operating an insulated control rod for nighttime operations, which will be described in detail below.
[0062] like Figure 11 As shown, a method for operating an insulated operating rod for nighttime operations, based on the insulated operating rod for nighttime operations provided in any of the above embodiments, includes: The main light source 25 is used for main illumination; The beam angle of the main light source 25 is adjusted using the zoom component; The supplementary lighting module is used for supplementary illumination; The control circuit 26 is used to control the main light source 25 and the supplementary lighting module to turn on or off. The insulating rod 6 is used to move the insulating housing 22, which in turn moves the working head 1, so that the working head 1 is aligned with the operating point; Insulation operations are performed using the working head 1; Specifically, when the other end of the zoom component moves along the light-emitting path toward the main light source 25, the beam angle of the main light source 25 is increased, causing the main light source 25 to flood; when the other end of the zoom component moves along the light-emitting path toward the light-emitting port, the beam angle of the main light source 25 is decreased, causing the main light source 25 to focus.
[0063] It should be noted that the device can be adjusted to floodlight mode, spotlight mode, and emergency mode: When the focusing knob 5 is rotated to its maximum stroke, the lens sleeve moves the lens to the innermost position closest to the light source. After the beam is refracted by the lens, it forms a 60° floodlight mode, and the light diffuses evenly, covering a 3-meter radius around the working head 1. In this mode, the contact point between the working head 1 and the equipment, as well as the surrounding related structures, can be clearly illuminated at the same time. This mode is suitable for close-range operation scenarios. When the operator is performing fine operations, he / she can simultaneously observe the relative position of the target and the surroundings, avoiding misoperation due to limited field of vision. At this time, the supplementary light 4 is in the off state. The equipment contact point includes bolts and plugs. The surrounding related structures include adjacent terminals, a fixed frame, and operation limit marks. The close-range operation scenario includes a line-of-sight distance of ≤2 meters between the working head 1 and the operator. The fine operations include aligning the screw holes and inserting / removing plugs. When the focusing knob 5 is rotated to its minimum travel, the lens sleeve moves the lens to its outermost position away from the light source. After being refracted by the lens, the light beam forms a 15° focusing mode, concentrating the light towards the contact point of the working head 1. This focusing mode is suitable for the following two scenarios: Scenario 1: When the working head 1 extends to a long distance, the floodlight mode causes the light to be scattered and the target point to be insufficiently bright due to the increased distance. The focused beam mode maintains the brightness of the target point by concentrating the beam, ensuring that the contact details of the working head 1 are clearly visible at night or in the shadow area of the equipment. The long distance refers to the distance of 2-5 meters between the working head 1 and the operator's line of sight, as well as when operating high-altitude equipment and deep inside the switch cabinet. The contact details include the wear of the wire joints and the tightness of the terminals. Second scenario: Strong light interference exists around the target. The focused beam can "penetrate" the interfering light, so that the small details of the contact point of the working head 1 are not affected by the strong light. The strong light interference includes outdoor backlight and equipment indicator light reflection. The small details include buckles and scales. When the main control switch is pressed and held for 83 seconds, the system enters emergency mode. The main light source 25 switches to 5Hz high-frequency strobe, and the supplementary light 4 flashes synchronously. The strong light flashes quickly mark the location at night or in complex environments, making it easy for rescuers to identify. At the same time, the wide-angle strobe of the supplementary light 4 can expand the warning range. The complex environment includes heavy rain and dense fog, which is used to improve the transmission efficiency of emergency signals.
[0064] Therefore, the working method of the insulating operating rod for nighttime operations of the present invention solves the technical problems of low efficiency, poor accuracy, and safety hazards of traditional insulating operating rods in nighttime operations, and achieves beneficial effects: through the synergistic effect of the main light source 25 and the supplementary lighting module, a comprehensive and adjustable lighting solution is provided for nighttime operations. The operator can use the zoom adjustment component to precisely control the beam angle of the main light source 25 or use the supplementary lighting module to supplement the light according to the actual working distance, achieving seamless switching from focused light to floodlight and eliminating lateral shadows caused by the operator's hands and tools. This ensures that the target is clearly visible when operating at a distance and that the light coverage is uniform when operating at close distance, improving the visibility of the surrounding environment of the operating point. At the same time, the centralized management of the control circuit 26 makes the switching of lighting modes more convenient and reliable, avoids the possibility of misoperation, improves the accuracy and safety of operation, and ensures the continuity and efficiency of the work process.
[0065] like Figures 1-11 As shown, an optional working process of the night-operation insulated operating rod and its working method in this invention is as follows: The power-on process includes: When the main control switch 8 is pressed briefly, the main control chip recognizes that the button duration of the main control switch 8 reaches 1 second. Based on the ambient illuminance collected by the photosensitive sensor 210, the main control chip controls the output power of the main light source 25, controls the main light source 25 to turn on through the first MOS transistor drive circuit, controls the fill light 4 to turn on through the second MOS transistor drive circuit, and controls the charging indicator light 11 to turn on or flash based on the battery power collected by the charging management chip, so that the main light source 25 and the fill light 4 provide illumination together. The steps for adjusting the floodlight mode include: Rotating the focusing knob 5 forward causes the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous conveyor belt 27 to rotate and moves the second sleeve 28. The movement of the second sleeve 28 moves the convex lens 23. When the convex lens 23 moves along the light output path toward the main light source 25, the beam angle of the main light source 25 is increased, making the main light source 25 floodlight. Pressing the supplementary light control switch 7 briefly causes the main control chip to control the supplementary light 4 to turn off through the second MOS tube drive circuit, so that the supplementary light 4 stops illuminating and the device enters the floodlight mode. The steps for adjusting the focus mode include: Rotating the focusing knob 5 in the opposite direction causes the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the synchronous conveyor belt 27 to rotate and moves the second sleeve 28. The movement of the second sleeve 28 moves the convex lens 23. When the convex lens 23 moves along the light path toward the light outlet, the beam angle of the main light source 25 is reduced, causing the main light source 25 to focus the light. Pressing the supplementary light control switch 7 briefly causes the main control chip to control the supplementary light 4 to turn on through the second MOS tube drive circuit, so that the main light source 25 and the supplementary light 4 illuminate together, and the device enters the focusing mode. Emergency mode adjustment steps include: When the main control switch 8 is pressed and held for 3 seconds, the main control chip recognizes that the main control switch 8 has been pressed for 3 seconds. The main control chip then controls the main light source 25 to flash through the first MOS transistor drive circuit and controls the supplementary light 4 to flash in an emergency through the second MOS transistor drive circuit. This causes the main light source 25 and the supplementary light 4 to flash together in an emergency, and the device enters the emergency mode. Press and hold the main control switch 8 again. After the main control chip recognizes that the button duration of the main control switch 8 has reached 3 seconds, the main control chip controls the main light source 25 to stop flashing through the first MOS transistor drive circuit and controls the supplementary light 4 to stop flashing through the second MOS transistor drive circuit, so that the main light source 25 and the supplementary light 4 remain on together, and the device exits the emergency mode. The insulation operation steps include: The insulating rod 6 is used to move the insulating housing 22, which in turn moves the working head 1, so that the working head 1 is aligned with the operating point; Insulation operations are performed using the working head 1; Specifically, when the charging status information indicates that the battery level is less than 20% or the battery is charging, the main control chip controls the charging indicator light 11 to flash. When the charging status information indicates that the battery is fully charged, the main control chip controls the charging indicator light 11 to change from flashing to solid light.
