[0026] The present invention is used to connect the end of the suspension string 3 to the contact wire 7. The end of the suspension string 3 itself is bent into a ring bend 8, and the ring bend 8 is connected with a line clamp 6 through a suspension ring 9. The line clamp 6 is U-shaped, and its notch should be clamped and assembled corresponding to the longitudinal groove 701 on the contact wire 7. The line clamp 6 is also penetrated with a fastening bolt 10 and a corresponding fastening nut 11. On the one hand, the fastening bolt 10 and the fastening nut 11 fix the base of the suspension ring 9 on the line clamp 6. On the other hand, after the notch of the line clamp 6 is inserted into the longitudinal groove 701, the fastening nut 11 can be screwed in to limit the opening degree of the notch of the line clamp 6, ensuring a tight clamping fit between the notch and the longitudinal groove 701 and avoiding loosening.

[0027] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown in the figure, a positioning and installation device for a catenary suspension clamp 6 of a catenary suspension 3 according to the present invention includes a rectangular platform 5 and a positioning system 2, a locking system 1, and a clamping system 4 provided on the platform 5 as installation execution mechanisms. A flange is provided at the right end of the platform 5 and is connected to a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm (a conventional prior art means, not shown in the figure) by screws. The installation execution mechanism is adjusted to the correct installation position through the lifting, telescoping, and rotation of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. The positioning system 2 positions the catenary suspension 7, the locking system 1 locks the installation wire in a hoop manner to avoid shaking, and the clamping system 4 fixes the notch of the clamp 6 in the longitudinal groove 701 on the catenary suspension 7. The positioning system 2, the locking system 1, and the clamping system 4 in the present invention are described separately as follows:

[0028] Positioning system

[0029] As Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the positioning system 2 of the present invention mainly includes a V-shaped base block 202. A positioning groove 203 is formed on the left side of the base block 202. The width at the bottom of the positioning groove 203 corresponds to the outer diameter of the catenary suspension 7, and the positioning groove 203 gradually expands from the bottom to the notch, so as to be horizontally inserted onto the catenary suspension 7 under the control of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. Assembly holes are respectively provided on both sides of the notch of the positioning groove 203 on the base block 202. A positioning steel ball 204 and a clamping spring for pushing the corresponding positioning steel ball 204 towards the inner side of the positioning groove 203 are slidably provided in the assembly holes, so that when the catenary suspension 7 is located at the bottom of the positioning groove 203 and the positioning groove 203 is rotated around the catenary suspension 7 under the control of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, when the two positioning steel balls 204 respectively rotate into the corresponding longitudinal grooves 701, the clamping spring can push the positioning steel balls 204 to be clamped into the longitudinal grooves 701 to complete the subsequent positioning of the positioning system 2 and the clamping system 4 to the catenary suspension 7. The aperture of the assembly hole at the end towards the inner side of the positioning groove 203 gradually becomes smaller, which can avoid the positioning steel balls 204 from coming out of the assembly holes while ensuring that the positioning steel balls 204 can partially protrude to be clamped and matched with the longitudinal grooves 701.

[0030] A pressure sensor, which is an electronic detection element, is also provided in the assembly hole. After the positioning groove 203 rotates with the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm and the positioning steel ball 204 is clamped into the longitudinal groove 701, an electrical signal is given. After the controller or the operator receives this electrical signal, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm is braked, and then the locking system 1 and the clamping system 4 are started in sequence. The pressure sensor is fixed at one end of the assembly hole corresponding to the outside of the positioning groove 203 and cooperates with the end of the clamping spring away from the positioning steel ball 204. Thus, when the contact wire 7 is horizontally inserted into the bottom of the positioning groove 203 and the longitudinal groove 701 does not point to the positioning steel ball 204, the positioning steel ball 204 abuts against the outer edge of the contact wire 7, and the clamping spring is compressed, thereby generating a large pressure on the pressure sensor; when the longitudinal groove 701 points to the positioning steel ball 204 with the rotation of the positioning groove 203, the clamping spring pushes the positioning steel ball 204 into the longitudinal groove 701, the length of the clamping spring itself elongates, and a small pressure is generated on the pressure sensor, and an electrical signal can be generated through the pressure difference generated by the pressure sensor. In the present invention, two electrical signal lines 201 are provided on the right side of the base block 202. The left ends of the two electrical signal lines 201 are respectively connected to the pressure sensor, and the right ends are respectively extended to the controller or the display.

[0031] In another embodiment of the present invention, the electronic detection element is a proximity switch fixed in the assembly hole. The proximity switch is used to cooperate with the outside of the positioning steel ball 204 to detect the position of the positioning steel ball 204 in the assembly hole. Thus, when the contact wire 7 is horizontally inserted into the positioning groove 203 and the positioning steel ball 204 abuts against the outer wall of the contact wire 7 at a position other than the longitudinal groove 701, the positioning steel ball 204 closely adheres to the proximity switch, and the proximity switch generates a signal indicating that the position is reached; when the positioning groove 203 is rotated by a certain angle through the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm until the positioning clamping ball is clamped into the longitudinal groove 701, the positioning steel ball 204 moves away from the proximity switch along the assembly hole in the direction towards the inside of the positioning groove 203, and the signal indicating that the position is reached generated by the proximity switch disappears. That is, whether the positioning steel ball 204 is clamped into the longitudinal groove 701 and whether the positioning is achieved is judged according to the above rules.

[0032] Locking system

[0033] Combined with Figure 3 、 4As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the main body of the locking system 1 includes two identical groove plates 103 arranged in parallel at intervals, a spacer block 112 fixed between the bottoms of the two groove plates 103 by screws, and a locking bar plate 101 and a locking stop bar plate 107 hinged between the two groove plates 103. One of the groove plates 103 is fixed to the side edge of the platform 2, and the other groove plate 103 is fixedly connected to the base 202. Locking grooves 102 corresponding to the aforementioned positioning grooves 203 are provided at the upper parts of the two groove plates 103. The top of the locking groove 102 is tapered and flared to facilitate the lateral insertion of the contact wire 7. The locking bar plate 101 is used to block the locking groove 102 to achieve locking, and the locking stop bar plate 107 is used to maintain the non-locking state of the locking bar plate 101 with respect to the locking groove 102, facilitating the blocking and locking of the positioning groove 203 by driving the locking bar plate 101 after the contact wire 7 is positioned by the positioning mechanism.

[0034] One end of the locking bar plate 101 is rotatably connected to the two groove plates 103 through a first rotating shaft 104, and a locking hook 110 is provided in the middle of the locking bar plate 101. The locking hook 110 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 104 with the locking bar plate 101 to the position as shown in Figure 5 FIG. 7, so as to block the locking groove 102 and achieve the locking of the contact wire 7 in the locking groove 102, avoiding shaking or vibration. The locking system 1 further includes a locking spring 111. Hooks are provided at both ends of the locking spring 111. One hook is hooked to the groove plate 103, and the other hook is hooked to the locking bar plate 101, and the locking spring 111 is in a stretched state. Thus, in the state as shown in Figure 4 FIG. 8, after the locking bar plate 101 is unlocked by the locking stop bar plate 107, the locking spring 111 can pull the locking bar plate 101 to the locking state as shown in Figure 5 FIG. 9.

[0035] One end of the locking stop bar plate 107 is rotatably connected to the two groove plates 103 through a second rotating shaft 105. The second rotating shaft 105 is located at the lower right position of the first rotating shaft 104. A locking stop hook 114 is provided at the other end of the locking stop bar plate 107. The locking stop hook 114 is used for hooking and cooperating with a hook rod 108 on the side of the locking bar plate 101 opposite to the locking stop hook 114 to maintain the non-locking state as shown in Figure 4 FIG. 4. The pulling force of the locking stop hook 114 on the hook rod 108 comes from the locking stop spring 113. One end of the locking stop spring 113 is hooked and fixed to the groove plate 103, and the other end is hooked to the middle of the locking stop bar plate 107. The locking stop spring 113 is in a stretched state, and the hook rod 108 is pulled by the pulling force generated by it to maintain the locking bar plate 101 in the non-locking state as shown in FIG. 4. A first handle 106 is further provided on the right side of the locking stop bar plate 107. Figure 4By pressing the first lever 106 downward, the locking strip 107 is driven to rotate in a clockwise direction, so that the locking hook 114 is disengaged from the hook rod 108 to unlock the locking strip 101, and the locking strip 101 blocks the locking groove 102 under the pulling force of the locking spring 111.

[0036] In this embodiment, a back groove 109 is provided on the right side of the locking strip 101, and the hook rod 108 is distributed in the horizontal direction through the back groove 109, and its two ends extend out of the locking strip 101 and form a limit rod. Figure 5 In the locked state shown, the limit rod cooperates with the right side of the slot plate 103 to prevent the locking hook 110 from excessively rotating to the left under the pulling force of the locking spring 111, and to prevent the inner edge of the locking hook 110 from forming a locking pressure on the contact line 7.

[0037] A wedge-shaped guide surface is provided at the hook head of the locking hook 114 on the locking strip 107 to facilitate the resetting of the locking strip 101 . Figure 5 In this state, the locking strip 101 is driven by an external force to rotate clockwise, so that the portion of the hook rod 108 located in the back groove 109 contacts and slides with the wedge-shaped guide surface and pushes the locking strip 107 to rotate clockwise. After the hook rod 108 rotates to bypass the hook head of the locking hook 114, the locking strip 107 rotates counterclockwise under the tension of the locking spring 113, and the locking hook 114 hooks the hook rod 108 to reach the initial state shown in the figure. Figure 5 The upper right part of the pad 112 is an inclined surface for the locking strip 107 to limit the position and resist the locking strip 107 to maintain Figure 5 In the state shown in FIG. 1 , it is ensured that the hook rod 108 cooperates with the wedge-shaped guide surface during the counterclockwise rotation and resetting process of the locking strip 101 .

[0038] Card mounting system

[0039] like Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the clamping system 4 includes a positioning seat 409 and a driving mechanism. The positioning seat 409 is used for positioning and clamping the end of the corresponding contact wire 7 on the suspension string 3, and the driving mechanism is used to push the positioning seat 409 toward the contact wire 7 positioned by the positioning system 2 and locked by the locking system 1, so as to install the wire clamp 6 positioned and fixed by the positioning seat 409 on the contact wire 7 by clamping.

[0040] The positioning seat 409 is generally rectangular, and the positioning seat 409 and the platform 5 are distributed along the same length direction. A linear guide 407 is provided along the length direction of the platform 5 at its upper edge, and a slider 406 that is slidably engaged with the linear guide 407 is fixedly provided at the lower edge of the positioning seat 409, so that the positioning seat 409 can flexibly slide along the length direction of the platform 5 under the action of an external force through the cooperation of the linear guide 407 and the slider 406. A positioning assembly for the end of the suspension string 3 corresponding to the contact wire 7 to be positioned and clamped is provided at the upper edge of the positioning seat 409. The positioning assembly includes a positioning groove 403, a first positioning post 404, a positioning block 405, and a second positioning post 402 that are sequentially arranged on the positioning seat 409 from the head to the tail. The positioning groove 403 is opened at the front end of the positioning seat 409, and both the front part and the top are open. The shape of the groove is adapted to the shape of the bolt head 12 of the fastening bolt 10 that fixes the suspension ring 9 and the wire clamp 6, and the height of the groove corresponds to the thickness of the bolt head 12, so that after the bolt head 12 is inserted into the positioning groove 403 in an adapted manner, a clamping and positioning fit of the fastening bolt 10 is formed by the positioning groove 403. The number of the first positioning posts 404 is two, and the two first positioning posts 404 are spaced along the width direction of the positioning seat 409 and are located on both sides behind the positioning groove 403. During the positioning and installation process, the suspension ring 9 passes through the gap between the two first positioning posts 404, and the two sides of the outside of the front end of the loop bend 8 on the suspension string 3 respectively abut against the rear of the two first positioning posts 404, so that a clamping and positioning of the outside of the head of the loop bend 8 is formed by the two first positioning posts 404. An arc section is provided on the front side of the positioning block 405, and the arc section is adapted to the bending arc specification of the tail of the suspension ring 9. During the positioning and installation process, the tail of the suspension ring 9 is clamped and positioned in the arc section on the front side of the positioning block 405. The second positioning post 402 is located directly behind the positioning block 405 and is for the tail of the loop bend 8 to be inserted and then to be in a clamping and positioning fit with the inner side of the loop bend 8.

[0041] The driving mechanism includes a first tension spring 408 and a clamping assembly. In the initial state of the present invention, the above-mentioned positioning seat 409 is fixed on the platform 5 by the clamping assembly, and the first tension spring 408 is in a stretched state; when the wire clamp 6 is installed, after the contact wire 7 is positioned and locked by the positioning system 2 and the locking system 1, an external force is used to release the positioning seat 409 by the clamping assembly, and the positioning seat 409 moves forward under the pulling force of the first tension spring 408, so that the wire clamp 6 thereon is engaged and butted with the longitudinal groove 701 on the contact wire 7.

[0042] The number of the first tension springs 408 is two, and the two first tension springs 408 are respectively arranged on both sides of the positioning seat 409 and both first tension springs 408 are distributed along the longitudinal direction of the platform 5. One end of the first tension spring 408 is hooked and fixed to the first spring seat provided at the front part of the platform 5, and the other end is hooked and fixed to the second spring seat provided on the positioning seat 409.

[0043] The main body of the clamping assembly is an L-shaped clamping strip 414, and a third rotating shaft 413 is provided in the middle of the clamping strip 414. The third rotating shaft 413 is rotatably matched with the shaft seat arranged at the side of the platform 5, so that both ends of the clamping strip 414 can rotate around the third rotating shaft 413 under the action of external force. One end of the clamping strip 414 is connected to the middle of the platform 5 through the second tension spring 410, and the other end is bent in the opposite direction to form a rotating hook 412. The rotating hook 412 can be hooked and matched with the fixed hook 401 arranged at the side of the positioning seat 409, and maintain the tension state of the first tension spring 408 under the tension of the second tension spring 410. A protruding second lever 411 is also provided on the clamping strip 414 near the rotating hook 412. The second lever 411 is used to cooperate with an external force to rotate the clamping strip 414, so that the rotating hook 412 is separated from the fixed hook 401, that is, the positioning seat 409 is released, so that the positioning seat 409 moves rapidly toward the front of the platform 5 under the tension of the first tension spring 408, and the clamping and fixing between the wire clamp 6 and the contact wire 7 is completed. In addition, the hook head of the rotating hook 412 and the fixed hook 401 are respectively provided with wedge-shaped surfaces that can cooperate with each other to allow the fixed hook 401 to slide into the rotating hook 412.

[0044] The implementation process of the present invention is as follows:

[0045] First, manually fix the ring bend 8, the ring 9, and the wire clamp 6 of the suspension string 3 corresponding to the contact line 7 on the ground through the positioning assembly and fasten them to the positioning seat 409. Then pull the positioning seat 409 backward to accumulate the elastic potential energy of the first tension spring 408 until Figure 9 After the state shown, the positioning seat 409 is continuously pulled back, and the two wedge-shaped surfaces cooperate to enable the fixed hook 401 to push the rotating hook 412 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction until the fixed hook 401 moves back to the hook mouth of the rotating hook 412, and the rotating hook 412 quickly rotates in the clockwise direction under the pulling force of the second tension spring 410 and hooks the fixed hook 401, locking the position of the positioning seat 409.

[0046] Then, the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm controls the platform 5 to move so that the contact wire 7 is laterally inserted into the positioning groove 203 and the locking groove 102. The platform 5 is rotated to rotate the positioning groove 203 and the locking groove 102 around the contact wire 7, and the positioning state is adjusted by continuous and slow rotation until the output value of the pressure sensor suddenly decreases, and the multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm is stopped, so that the positioning steel ball 204 is inserted into the longitudinal groove 701 of the contact wire 7, so that the notch of the wire clamp 6 in the clamping device faces the two longitudinal grooves 701. At this time, another mechanical arm is linked or manually controlled to move. Figure 4 In the state shown, the first lever 106 is pressed downward, so that the locking strip 101 is disengaged from the locking hook 114 and rotated counterclockwise, and the contact wire 7 in the locking groove 102 in the positioned state is locked by the locking hook 110 to prevent it from oscillating.

[0047] Finally, by pressing down the second lever 411, the rotating hook 412 is driven to rotate counterclockwise again to disengage from the fixed hook 401. After the hook is disengaged, the positioning seat 409 is quickly pulled forward under the pulling force of the first tension spring 408, so that the front slot of the wire clamp 6 is clamped into the longitudinal slot 701 on the contact wire 7. Tightening the fastening nut 11 on the fastening bolt 10 by the tightening device realizes the installation of the suspension 3 to the contact wire 7.
