Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a cable insulation outer layer and a warning device, and more particularly to a cable insulation outer layer and a warning device with a damage feedback function. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of the outer insulation layer of a cable is to insulate the conductors in the cable from the surrounding environment or adjacent conductors, and also to protect the cable.

[0003] When the outer insulation layer is subjected to compression, cutting, or rodent gnawing, it will be damaged. At this time, the outer insulation layer will no longer be able to protect the cable, making the cable easily damaged and affecting its operation. Since cables are generally buried underground over long distances, it is difficult to predict and detect cable damage. Regular inspections by staff are usually required, which is labor-intensive and prone to omissions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the drawbacks of manual cable inspection, which is labor-intensive and prone to omissions, the present invention aims to provide a cable insulation outer layer and warning device with damage feedback function.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical means:

[0006] A cable insulation outer layer and warning device with damage feedback function includes an insulation outer layer, wires, a mounting bracket, a power supply component, a mounting plate, a mounting block, light bulbs, and a connecting mechanism. The insulation outer layer has positioning grooves, and multiple sets of wires are evenly spaced inside the insulation outer layer. A mounting plate is connected to the mounting bracket, and a mounting block is connected to the mounting plate. Multiple light bulbs are connected to the mounting block, and each set of wires corresponds to one light bulb. The mounting bracket is provided with a power supply component for supplying power to the light bulbs, and the connecting mechanism is used to connect and conduct electricity between two wires in the same set.

[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the power supply assembly includes a conductive component, a power supply, and connecting wires. Multiple power supplies for supplying power to the bulbs are connected at intervals on the mounting plate. Each power supply corresponds to a bulb. A connecting wire is connected to both the positive and negative terminals of the power supply. The connecting wire on the negative terminal of the power supply is connected to the corresponding bulb terminal. The conductive component is used to connect the connecting wires to the conductors.

[0008] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the conductive component includes connecting rods, terminals, and elastic conductive sheets. Multiple sets of connecting rods are connected at intervals on the mounting plate. All connecting rods are made of conductive material. Each connecting rod corresponds to a wire, and each set of connecting rods corresponds to a power supply. The right end of each connecting rod is connected to a terminal. Two terminals form a set. One terminal is connected to its corresponding bulb terminal via a connecting wire, and the other terminal is connected to the connecting wire on the positive terminal of its corresponding power supply. The left end of each connecting rod is connected to an elastic conductive sheet.

[0009] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the connecting mechanism includes a mounting frame, auxiliary components, wiring sleeves, and conductive wires. The left end of the insulating outer layer is connected to the mounting frame, and multiple sets of wiring sleeves are connected at intervals on the mounting frame. The wiring sleeves are made of conductive material, and each wiring sleeve corresponds to and is connected to a wire. The two wiring sleeves in the same set are connected by conductive wires. The mounting frame is provided with auxiliary components for assisting the conductive wires in wiring.

[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the auxiliary component includes a first indicator block, which is connected to the mounting frame. The first indicator block corresponds to the positioning groove, and with the first indicator block as the dividing point, every two wiring sleeves are grouped in the circumferential direction.

[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a clamping mechanism for driving the elastic conductive sheet to clamp the wire. The clamping mechanism includes a first knob, a sliding frame, and a return spring. The first knob is threadedly connected to the mounting frame, and the sliding frame is slidably connected inside the mounting frame. The sliding frame contacts the first knob, and the elastic conductive sheet slides through the sliding frame. The return spring connects the sliding frame and the mounting frame to make the sliding frame elastically return to its original position.

[0012] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the mounting bracket also includes a locking mechanism for locking the position of the mounting bracket. The locking mechanism includes a second knob, a clamping spring, and an alignment component. The second knob is threadedly connected to the mounting bracket and is located to the left of the first knob. Multiple clamping springs are spaced apart on the left side of the mounting bracket, and one of the clamping springs is provided with an alignment component for aligning the wire with the elastic conductive sheet.

[0013] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the alignment component includes a second indicator block, wherein a clamping spring is connected to the second indicator block, and the second indicator block corresponds to the positioning groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This invention connects two terminal sleeves in the same group with conductive wires, and then inserts wires into corresponding elastic conductive sheets. In this way, the power supply and the light bulb can be connected in series by connecting wires, terminals, connecting rods, elastic conductive sheets, wires, terminal sleeves and conductive wires, so that the light bulb lights up. When the outer insulation layer is damaged, the light bulb will turn off, achieving the purpose of damage feedback.

[0016] 2. By rotating the first knob, the sliding frame can be driven to move to the left to compress and shrink the elastic conductive sheet, so that the elastic conductive sheet clamps the wire and prevents the wire from becoming loose from the elastic conductive sheet.

[0017] 3. By rotating the second knob, the clamping spring can be driven to deform towards one side, so that the clamping spring clamps the outer insulating layer, thus stabilizing the position of the mounting bracket and preventing the wire from detaching from the elastic conductive sheet.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A cable insulation outer layer and warning device with damage feedback function, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, it includes an insulating outer layer 1, a wire 102, a mounting bracket 2, a power supply assembly, a mounting plate 5, a mounting block 8, a light bulb 9, and a connecting mechanism 10. The insulating outer layer 1 has a positioning groove 101, as shown... Figure 10 As shown, multiple sets of wires 102 are evenly spaced within the insulating outer layer 1, with two wires in each set. A mounting plate 5 is welded onto the mounting bracket 2, and a mounting block 8 is welded onto the mounting plate 5. Multiple light bulbs 9 are mounted on the mounting block 8. Each set of wires 102 corresponds to one light bulb 9. The mounting bracket 2 is equipped with a power supply component for supplying power to the light bulbs 9. When a light bulb 9 is lit, it indicates that the insulating outer layer 1 is not damaged. When a light bulb 9 is off, it indicates that the insulating outer layer 1 has been damaged. The connecting mechanism 10 is used to connect and conduct electricity between two wires 102 in the same set.

[0032] The power supply assembly includes a conductive component, power supplies 6, and connecting wires 7. Multiple power supplies 6 for supplying power to the bulbs 9 are connected at intervals on the mounting plate 5. Each power supply 6 corresponds to one bulb 9. A connecting wire 7 is connected to both the positive and negative terminals of each power supply 6. The connecting wire 7 on the negative terminal of each power supply 6 is connected to the corresponding terminal of the bulb 9. The conductive component connects the connecting wires 7 to the wires 102. The conductive component includes connecting rods 3, terminals 31, and elastic conductive sheets 4. Multiple sets of connecting rods 3, all made of conductive material, are connected at intervals on the mounting plate 5. Each set of connecting rods 3 consists of two rods, each corresponding to one wire 102. Each set of connecting rods 3 corresponds to one power supply 6. Figure 3 As shown, each of the right ends of the connecting rod 3 is connected to a terminal block 31. Two terminals block 31 form a group. One terminal block 31 is connected to its corresponding bulb 9 terminal block via a connecting wire 7. The other terminal block 31 is connected to the connecting wire 7 on the positive terminal of its corresponding power supply 6. Each of the left ends of the connecting rod 3 is connected to an elastic conductive sheet 4.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the connecting mechanism 10 includes a mounting frame 1001, an auxiliary component, a wiring sleeve 1003, and a conductive wire 1004. The left end of the insulating outer layer 1 is connected to the mounting frame 1001. Multiple sets of wiring sleeves 1003 are connected at intervals on the mounting frame 1001. The wiring sleeves 1003 are made of conductive material. Each set of wiring sleeves 1003 consists of two wires. The wiring sleeves 1003 correspond one-to-one with the wires 102 and are connected. The two wiring sleeves 1003 in the same set are connected by the conductive wires 1004. The mounting frame 1001 is provided with an auxiliary component for assisting the conductive wires 1004 in wiring. The auxiliary component includes a first indicator block 1002. The first indicator block 1002 is welded to the mounting frame 1001. The first indicator block 1002 corresponds to the positioning groove 101. Taking the first indicator block 1002 as the dividing point, every two wiring sleeves 1003 are counted in the circumferential direction as a set.

[0034] First, the outer insulating layer 1 is placed on the cable. Then, taking the first indicator block 1002 as the dividing point, every two terminal sleeves 1003 are grouped together in the circumferential direction. The two terminal sleeves 1003 in the same group are connected by the conductive wire 1004. Next, the mounting bracket 2 is placed on the right end of the outer insulating layer 1. Then, the mounting bracket 2 is pushed to the left, which causes the connecting rod 3 and the elastic conductive sheet 4 to move to the left, so that the wires 102 are inserted into the corresponding elastic conductive sheets 4. In this way, the power supply 6 and the light bulb 9 are connected in series by the connecting wire 7, terminal block 31, connecting rod 3, elastic conductive sheet 4, wire 102, terminal sleeve 1003 and conductive wire 1004, so that the power supply 6 supplies power to the light bulb 9 and the light bulb 9 lights up. When the outer insulating layer 1 is damaged, the wire 102 will also be damaged, causing the power supply 6 to disconnect from the light bulb 9, and the corresponding light bulb 9 will go out. If any light bulb 9 goes out, it means that the outer insulating layer 1 has been damaged, and people can deal with it in time to prevent the cable from being damaged.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a clamping mechanism 11, which includes a first knob 1101, a sliding frame 1102, and a return spring 1103. The first knob 1101 is threaded onto the mounting bracket 2, and the sliding frame 1102 is slidably connected inside the mounting bracket 2. The sliding frame 1102 contacts the first knob 1101. The elastic conductive sheets 4 slide through the sliding frame 1102. When the sliding frame 1102 moves to the left, it can squeeze the elastic conductive sheets 4 to contract and clamp the wire 102. Figure 7 As shown, the reset spring 1103 connects the sliding frame 1102 and the mounting frame 2 to allow the sliding frame 1102 to elastically reset. When the wire 102 is inserted into the corresponding elastic conductive sheet 4, the first knob 1101 can be rotated. The first knob 1101 will move to the left, squeezing the sliding frame 1102 to move to the left. The reset spring 1103 will stretch, and the sliding frame 1102 will move to the left, squeezing the elastic conductive sheet 4 to contract, so that the elastic conductive sheet 4 clamps the wire 102, preventing the elastic conductive sheet 4 from becoming loose from the wire 102.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, it also includes a locking mechanism 12, which includes a second knob 1201, a clamping spring 1202, and an alignment assembly. The second knob 1201 is threadedly connected to the mounting bracket 2 and is located to the left of the first knob 1101. Multiple clamping springs 1202 are spaced apart on the left side of the mounting bracket 2. One of the clamping springs 1202 is provided with an alignment assembly for aligning the auxiliary wire 102 with the elastic conductive sheet 4. The alignment assembly includes a second indicator block 1203, such as... Figure 9 As shown, a second indicator block 1203 is connected to one of the clamping springs 1202, and the second indicator block 1203 corresponds to the positioning groove 101.

[0038] If the wire 102 is not connected to its corresponding elastic conductive sheet 4, the bulb 9 will not be able to conduct electricity normally. Therefore, when the mounting bracket 2 is placed on the right end of the insulating outer layer 1, the position of the mounting bracket 2 needs to be adjusted. First, rotate the mounting bracket 2 to drive the second indicator block 1203 to rotate, so that the second indicator block 1203 is aligned with the positioning groove 101. Then push the mounting bracket 2 to the left, so that the elastic conductive sheet 4 moves to the left, so that the wire 102 is inserted into the corresponding elastic conductive sheet 4. In this way, the wire 102 can be connected to its corresponding elastic conductive sheet 4. Then, the second knob 1201 can be rotated, and the first knob 1101 will move to the left to squeeze the clamping spring 1202, so that the clamping spring 1202 deforms to the side that is close to each other. The clamping spring 1202 can clamp the insulating outer layer 1 to prevent the mounting bracket 2 from moving at will, thereby preventing the wire 102 from detaching from the elastic conductive sheet 4.
