Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wire turning radius measurement, and particularly relates to a cable turning radius automatic measuring instrument based on laser measurement. BACKGROUND

[0002] The power cable routing has corresponding design standards at the beginning of design. If the actual construction routing is not performed according to the design standards, for example, the cable is excessively bent, the cable strength is changed, the cable cannot reach the use strength, and even the heating condition is generated under the normal current operation. In the engineering acceptance, the cable turning radius measurement uses the conventional ruler measurement and the on-site calculation. This method requires that the measurement personnel have professional geometric knowledge, and the human measurement error is large, and the on-site calculation efficiency is low. More than that, the acceptance personnel often simplify the process and directly complete the acceptance by simple visual inspection.

[0003] There is no tool for conveniently using and quickly calculating the cable routing parameters, and it is difficult to judge whether the construction routing turning radius meets the standards. The above problems undoubtedly increase the difficulty of engineering acceptance and leave hidden dangers for line operation.

[0004] The traditional cable radius measurement method is Figure 5 As shown by the Pythagorean theorem: R*R=(R-A)*(R-A)+B*B; in the actual cable turning radius measurement, the traditional method only needs to measure the actual lengths of A and B to obtain the value of R through the first-order quadratic equation.

[0005] The traditional measurement method mainly has the following defects and deficiencies:

[0006] 1. Complex operation. In practice, when measuring the values of A and B, the length of 2B is first calculated, and then the length of A is measured. In the process of measuring A and B, it is necessary to ensure that A and B are perpendicular, and it is necessary to determine the center point to ensure that the center is on the A straight line.

[0007] 2. Time-consuming and laborious, and has a certain danger. In actual complex working conditions, due to the limitation of the terrain and the laying environment of the cable, some cables are laid in the air, and some cables are laid in the underground cable well, which makes the measurement very difficult. The measurement personnel need to climb to the high tower or go down to the well to measure, and most of the time, the measurement needs to be carried out under the voltage, which has a high danger coefficient.

[0008] 3. Low precision. In actual manual measurement, the length and the perpendicular angle are measured by using the tape measure and the protractor, and the manual operation and the environmental restriction will produce a large measurement error.

[0009] 4. Complex calculation. After the measurement is completed, complex first-order quadratic equation operation is still needed, which has a large amount of operation and a huge workload.

[0010] In view of this, there is a need for a laser measurement-based cable turn radius automatic measuring instrument. SUMMARY

[0011] The embodiment of the present application provides a laser measurement-based cable turn radius automatic measuring instrument to at least solve the technical problem of inconvenient measurement of conductor turn radius in the related art.
