[0022] Example:

[0023] See attached Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a tension string for ultra-high altitude conductors, comprising two sets of tension string units arranged in parallel. Each set includes two insulator strings 10, also arranged parallel to the conductor direction. One end of the insulator string 10 is connected to the conductor via conductor-side hardware, which transmits conductor tension evenly to the insulator string 10. The conductor-side hardware also features a flexible connection design, allowing the conductor to swing at a suitable angle during wind deflection or galloping, thus avoiding stress concentration. The other end of the insulator string 10 is connected to the tower crossarm via hanging-point hardware, which also transmits conductor tension evenly to the tower crossarm. The hanging-point hardware is equipped with a ball joint or U-shaped hanging ring structure to compensate for geometric deviations caused by construction errors and tower deformation. The hanging-point hardware and conductor-side hardware work together, forming a closed-loop force transmission system: conductor tension → conductor-side hardware → insulator string 10 → hanging-point hardware → tower crossarm.

[0024] The conductor-side hardware includes, in sequence, a first U-shaped hanging ring 21, a first DB adjustment plate 20, a first right-angle hanging plate 19, an extension rod 26, a second right-angle hanging plate 191, a third right-angle hanging plate 192, a first connecting plate 17, a fourth right-angle hanging plate 15, a second connecting plate 14, a first parallel hanging plate 13, a third connecting plate 7, and a bowl-shaped hanging plate 12. The connection method is well-known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The first U-shaped hanging ring 21 connects to the conductor and can compensate for geometric deviations caused by construction errors and tower deformation. The bowl-shaped hanging plate 12 connects to the insulator string 10, and the ball-and-socket structure of the bowl-shaped hanging plate 12 allows the insulator string 10 to rotate freely within a certain angle range. The first U-shaped hanging ring 21 is flexibly connected to the conductor and can be adjusted at multiple angles to alleviate dynamic stress concentration; the first DB adjustment plate 20 has the function of tension balancing and length fine adjustment, and balances the tension difference of the double insulator string 10 through multi-hole design; the extension rod 26 can dynamically compensate for displacement and adjust for construction errors; the right-angle hanging plate group has two functions: one is to change the direction of force transmission and distribute stress, and the other is that multiple right-angle hanging plates can correct the position and eliminate installation deviations; the multiple mounting holes on the first connecting plate 17 can be matched with the connection of multiple conductors; the fourth right-angle hanging plate 15 is used to connect the second connecting plate 14, so that the second connecting plate 14 and the first connecting plate 17 are arranged perpendicularly, which facilitates the installation of the shielding ring assembly; the first parallel hanging plate 13 can ensure that the load is transmitted in a straight line and reduce lateral bending moment; the multiple mounting holes of the third connecting plate 7 can be adapted to connect the first parallel hanging plate 13 and the cup-head hanging plate 12 on the double insulator string 10.

[0025] A high shielding ring 35 and a low shielding ring 28 are installed on the second connecting plate 14. The high shielding ring 35 is connected to the upper part of the second connecting plate 14 via a connecting bracket, facing the hanging point side. The low shielding ring 28 is connected to the lower part of the second connecting plate 14 via a connecting bracket, facing the conductor side. The high shielding ring 35 and the low shielding ring 28 form a potential gradient between the conductor and the tower: conductor (highest potential) → low shielding ring 28 (intermediate potential) → high shielding ring 35 (transition potential) → tower (zero potential). This achieves a smooth electric field transition from the conductor to the tower, which is especially suitable for harsh environments such as ultra-high altitude, low air pressure, and strong radiation. It can meet the requirements of ultra-high voltage lines for electromagnetic environment and air gap.

[0026] Two equalizing rings 11 are provided, which are connected to the third connecting plate 7 through connecting brackets respectively. The two equalizing rings 11 are respectively wrapped around the two sets of tension string units. Each equalizing ring 11 is wrapped around the periphery of the two insulator strings 10 to balance the electric field distribution between the high voltage conductor and the hardware and suppress partial discharge.

[0027] The mounting hardware includes a ball-head hanging ring 9, a fifth right-angle hanging plate 8, a fourth connecting plate 71, a second parallel hanging plate 6, a traction plate 5, a PT adjusting plate 32, a third parallel hanging plate 4, a second DB adjusting plate 3, a second U-shaped hanging ring 2, a third U-shaped hanging ring 23, and a mounting hardware 1 connected in sequence. The connection method is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The ball-head hanging ring 9 is connected to the insulator string 10, allowing it to rotate freely within a certain angle range. The traction plate 5, the PT adjusting plate 32, and the second DB adjusting plate 3 work together to adjust the overall length of the tension string unit. The multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the U-shaped hanging ring can alleviate dynamic stress concentration.

[0028] Insulator string 10 can be made of glass or porcelain, depending on the specific application. It can also be a composite insulator string or a disc insulator string. In high-altitude, low-temperature regions, composite insulator string 10 exhibits excellent low-temperature resistance (remaining elastic even at -60℃), while disc insulator string 10 uses glass insulators to avoid the risk of low-temperature brittleness. Actual selection should be based on specific engineering parameters (such as tension, pollution level, and wind speed) and economic analysis. If necessary, a hybrid configuration (such as a redundant design of composite insulators + disc insulators) should be used to maximize the effectiveness of each insulator string 10 to meet design requirements. Insulator string 10 can rotate perpendicular to the line direction but cannot rotate towards the tower in the direction of the line.

[0029] Spacers are also installed on each split conductor to fix the spacing between them, so as to prevent the conductors from whipping each other and to suppress wind vibration and secondary span oscillation.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
