Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical engineering technology, and in particular to an electrical engineering cable protection device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical engineering is a core and key discipline in modern science and technology. The traditional, broad definition of electrical engineering refers to the sum of disciplines related to the creation of electrical and electronic systems. Electricity is a crucial material foundation for developing production and improving human living standards. The application of electricity is constantly deepening and developing. Electrical automation is an important symbol of the modernization of the national economy and people's lives. Cables are a general term for items such as optical cables and electrical cables. Cables have many uses, mainly for control installation, connecting equipment, and transmitting electricity, making them a common and indispensable item in daily life. Because cables are live, their installation requires special care. Existing electrical engineering cable protection devices are inadequate. Since cables are exposed to the outdoors for extended periods, impurities and dust easily adhere to their surfaces. Impurities can damage the cable sheath, while dust can spontaneously combust, leading to cable fires and affecting the cable's lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an electrical engineering cable protection device and its usage method.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: An electrical engineering cable protection device, comprising: Front-end sleeve, fitted onto the cable; The rear sleeve is located at the end of the front sleeve and is fitted onto the cable. The cleaning, drying, and marking components are all mounted on the rear sleeve. The cleaning component is used to wipe the surface of the cable, the drying component is used to remove dust and moisture from the cable surface, and the marking component is used to scan and inspect the cleaned cable surface and spray paint to mark the detected damaged areas, making it easier for subsequent maintenance by staff.

[0005] The front end sleeve includes: The upper and lower mounting plates interlock to form a tubular structure and are fixed to each other from the outside by mounting screws.

[0006] Airbag cushions are evenly distributed on the inner walls of the upper and lower mounting plates.

[0007] The present invention also includes a clamping and fastening mechanism, comprising: Two fixing plates are installed on the outside of the front sleeve, one above the other; Two clamping components are respectively set on the left and right sides of the front sleeve to clamp and fix the two fixing plates together.

[0008] The clamping assembly includes: Vertically installed connecting sleeve; Two bent inner rods are distributed vertically, and the vertical sections of the two bent inner rods are respectively inserted into the upper and lower ends of the connecting sleeve, and can slide in the connecting sleeve; The first spring is fitted onto the connecting sleeve, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the stabilizing plate on the upper bent inner rod, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the stabilizing plate on the lower bent inner rod. The bent sections of the two inner rods are respectively inserted into the corresponding holes on the fixed plate.

[0009] The invention also includes two driving mechanisms, respectively mounted on two fixed plates, for driving the front sleeve to move on the cable; The drive mechanism includes: The first and second connecting rods are arranged in parallel to each other, with their tail ends fixed to a fixed plate and their head portions provided with a first circular plate and a second circular plate. The drive wheel is positioned between the first and second circular plates; A drive motor is mounted on the first circular plate, and its connecting shaft is connected to the main shaft of the drive wheel. The counterweight is set on the second circular plate.

[0010] The rear end sleeve consists of two interlocking arc-shaped plates.

[0011] The cleaning component includes: Several connecting arc plates are distributed in a ring on the inner wall of the rear sleeve; A cleaning brush is installed on the inner wall of the connecting arc plate; The movable rod is fixedly connected at one end to the outer wall of the connecting arc plate, and at the other end passes through the wall of the rear sleeve and is set outside the rear sleeve, and is connected to the outer wall of the rear sleeve through the second spring.

[0012] The drying assembly includes: A curved conduit is installed on the inner wall of the rear sleeve. The air outlets are evenly distributed on the curved duct; An air pump is installed on the outer wall of the rear sleeve, and its outlet is connected to the air inlet of the curved duct via a connecting conduit. The tagging component includes: The outer casing has a discharge port at the bottom, which is located inside the rear sleeve, and the top is located outside the rear sleeve. An electric valve is installed at the discharge port; The scanner is located on the outside of the discharge port; The feed pipe is located on the side wall of the outer casing; The pressure plate is horizontally arranged inside the outer shell, dividing the interior of the outer shell into a material storage section and an extrusion operation section; The limiting guide rod has one end passing through the thin wall at the top of the outer shell and set inside the extrusion operation section, and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate. The other end is provided with a limiting block to prevent the limiting guide rod from completely entering the outer shell. The third spring is located inside the extrusion section of the housing and is fitted onto the limiting guide rod.

[0013] This invention also provides a method for using an electrical engineering cable protection device, comprising the following steps: placing an upper mounting plate and a lower mounting plate on the outer surface of the cable and connecting them with mounting screws, thus initially installing the device on the outer surface of the cable; then pulling out the bent inner rods on both sides of the connecting sleeve, extending the protruding portion of the bent inner rods, stretching the first spring, inserting the bent inner rods on both sides into the corresponding insertion holes, and releasing them. Under the elastic action of the first spring, the bent inner rods are subjected to tension, causing the fixing plates on the upper and lower mounting plates to tend to move in opposite directions, thereby making the upper and lower mounting plates fit more tightly and preventing the mounting screws from stripping after prolonged use, preventing loosening between the upper and lower mounting plates. After installation, the airbag is in place under the pressure of the cable. Under pressure, the elasticity of the airbag cushion allows the cable to be fully clamped by the upper and lower mounting plates, improving the tightness of the installation. At this time, the drive mechanism is in contact with the surface of the cable, and the cleaning component, drying component, and marking component are all on the outer surface of the cable. The drive mechanism drives the entire device to move along the outer surface of the cable. While the device moves, the cleaning component wipes the surface of the cable to clean away impurities. The airflow generated by the drying component can blow away dust on the surface of the cable and accelerate the drying of moisture on the surface of the cable, which can extend the service life of the cable and protect it. Then, the marking component scans and detects the cleaned surface of the cable and sprays paint to mark the detected damaged areas, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance by staff.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The drive mechanism facilitates the movement of the entire device along the outer surface of the cable, making it convenient for subsequent cleaning, drying, and inspection of the cable surface, thus playing a driving role. 2. Through the cleaning component, as the entire device moves under the action of the drive mechanism, the cleaning brush wipes away impurities on the cable surface through friction, preventing impurities from adhering to the cable surface for a long time and damaging the cable sheath, thus protecting the cable sheath; 3. The drying component can disperse the dust adhering to the cable surface to the greatest extent, preventing the dust from spontaneously combusting and causing the cable to catch fire, thus further protecting the cable and reducing safety hazards. 4. The marking component can scan and inspect the cleaned cable surface and spray paint to mark the detected damaged areas, making it easier for subsequent maintenance personnel.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an electrical engineering cable protection device includes: a front sleeve, fitted onto the cable; a rear sleeve, disposed at the tail of the front sleeve and fitted onto the cable; a cleaning component 7, a drying component 8, and a marking component 9, all disposed on the rear sleeve; wherein, the cleaning component 7 is used to wipe the surface of the cable, the drying component 8 is used to clean dust and moisture from the surface of the cable, and the marking component 9 is used to scan and detect the cleaned surface of the cable, and to spray paint to mark the detected damaged locations for subsequent maintenance by personnel.

[0019] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front end sleeve includes an upper mounting plate 1 and a lower mounting plate 2, which are interlocked to form a tubular structure and are fixed to each other from the outside by mounting screws 3.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, airbag cushions 10 are evenly distributed on the inner walls of the upper mounting plate 1 and the lower mounting plate 2.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a clamping and fastening mechanism, comprising: two fixing plates 4, which are disposed on the outside of the front end sleeve; and two clamping components, which are disposed on the left and right sides of the front end sleeve respectively, to clamp and fix the two fixing plates 4 together.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly includes: a vertically arranged connecting sleeve 13; two bent inner rods 12 distributed vertically, the vertical sections of the two bent inner rods 12 being inserted into the upper and lower ends of the connecting sleeve 13 respectively, and being able to slide within the connecting sleeve 13; a first spring 15, fitted onto the connecting sleeve 13, with its upper end fixedly connected to a stabilizing plate 14 disposed on the upper bent inner rod 12, and its lower end fixedly connected to a stabilizing plate 14 disposed on the lower bent inner rod 12; wherein, the bent sections of the two bent inner rods 12 are respectively inserted into the corresponding insertion holes 11 of the fixed plate 4.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention also includes two drive mechanisms 5, which are respectively mounted on two fixed plates 4, for driving the front end sleeve to move on the cable; the drive mechanism 5 includes: a first connecting rod 51 and a second connecting rod 52 arranged parallel to each other, with the tail end fixed on the fixed plate 4, and the head part provided with a first circular plate 53 and a second circular plate 54; a drive wheel 57, which is disposed between the first circular plate 53 and the second circular plate 54; a drive motor 55, which is disposed on the first circular plate 53, and its connecting shaft 56 is connected to the main shaft of the drive wheel 57; and a counterweight 58, which is disposed on the second circular plate 54.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the rear sleeve consists of two interlocking arc-shaped plates 6.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning component 7 includes: a plurality of connecting arc plates 72, which are distributed in a ring on the inner wall of the rear end sleeve; a cleaning brush 74, which is disposed on the inner wall of the connecting arc plates 72; and a movable rod 71, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting arc plates 72, and the other end passes through the wall of the rear end sleeve and is disposed outside the rear end sleeve, and is connected to the outer wall of the rear end sleeve through a second spring 73.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the drying assembly 8 includes: a curved conduit 83 disposed on the inner wall of the rear sleeve; an air outlet 84 evenly distributed on the curved conduit 83; and an air pump 81 disposed on the outer wall of the rear sleeve, with the air outlet connected to the air inlet of the curved conduit 83 via a connecting conduit 82. like Figure 7 As shown, the marking component 9 includes: a housing 91 with a discharge port at the bottom, located inside the rear sleeve and at the top outside the rear sleeve; an electric valve 96 located at the discharge port; a scanner 97 located outside the discharge port; a feed pipe 95 located on the side wall of the housing 91; a pressure plate 93 located laterally inside the housing 91, dividing the interior of the housing 91 into a storage section and an extrusion section; a limiting guide rod 92, one end of which passes through the top thin wall of the housing 91 and is located inside the extrusion section and is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 93, and the other end is provided with a limiting block to prevent the limiting guide rod 92 from completely entering the housing 91; and a third spring 94 located inside the extrusion section of the housing 91 and fitted onto the limiting guide rod 92. The scanner 97 is electrically connected to the electric valve 96 and is an ultrasonic scanner.

[0027] In this device, the drive mechanism 5 drives the drive motor 55 to rotate the connecting shaft 56, causing the drive wheel 57 to rotate. Under the action of friction between the drive wheel 57 and the cable, the drive wheel 57 drives the entire device to move along the outer surface of the cable, facilitating subsequent cleaning, drying, and inspection of the cable surface. The drive motor 55 can also drive the connecting shaft 56 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, allowing the device to move back and forth along the surface of the cable. By providing a counterweight 58, the weight of the counterweight 58 is the same as that of the drive motor 55, which helps to balance the force on both sides of the drive wheel 57 and prevents the drive wheel 57 from shifting during movement.

[0028] When the cleaning component 7 is installed on the surface of the cable, the connecting arc plate 72 is compressed, causing the movable rod 71 to move outward. The second spring 73 is in a stretched state, and the cleaning brush 74 adheres to the outer surface of the cable. When the entire device moves under the action of the drive mechanism 5, the surface of the cleaning brush 74 adheres to the surface of the cable. The impurities on the cable are wiped clean by the friction between the cleaning brush 74 and the surface of the cable. When the impurities are reduced, the cleaning brush 74 can adhere further to the surface of the cable under the elastic action of the second spring 73, which facilitates thorough cleaning of the cable. Since both the second spring 73 and the connecting arc plate 72 are elastic, the cleaning brush 74 can adhere more fully to the surface of the cable, improving the cleaning effect and preventing impurities from adhering to the surface of the cable for a long time and damaging the cable sheath.

[0029] By using the drying component 8, the air pump 81 is activated, allowing airflow to enter the curved duct 83 through the connecting duct 82 and be blown out through the air outlet 84. Since the air outlet 84 is distributed around the cable, it can disperse the dust adhering to the surface of the cable to the greatest extent, preventing the dust from spontaneously combusting and causing the cable to catch fire, further protecting the cable and reducing safety hazards.

[0030] Before use, paint is injected into the housing 91 through the feed pipe 95 via the marking component 9. As the amount of paint increases, the pressure plate 93 is pushed and slides along the inner surface of the housing 91. The limiting guide rod 92 moves outward, and the third spring 94 is compressed and stored until the third spring 94 is compressed to its maximum limit, at which point the addition of paint stops. During the movement of the device, the scanner 97 scans the cleaned cable surface. When a break is detected on the cable surface, the scanner 97 transmits a signal to the electric valve 96, causing the electric valve 96 to open. Under the elastic force of the third spring 94, the pressure plate 93 pushes the paint, causing the paint to be sprayed out quickly, marking the location of the cable break with paint, making it easy for subsequent maintenance personnel to quickly find the break location.

[0031] This invention also provides a method for using an electrical engineering cable protection device, comprising the following steps: First, the upper mounting plate 1 and the lower mounting plate 2 are fitted onto the outer surface of the cable and connected by mounting screws 3, so that the device is initially installed on the outer surface of the cable; then, the bent inner rods 12 on both sides of the connecting sleeve 13 are pulled out to both sides, the extended portion of the bent inner rods 12 is extended, the first spring 15 is stretched, and the bent inner rods 12 on both sides are inserted into the corresponding insertion holes 11. After release, under the elastic action of the first spring 15, the bent inner rods 12 are subjected to tension, causing the fixing plates 4 on the upper mounting plate 1 and the lower mounting plate 2 to tend to move in opposite directions, thereby making the upper mounting plate 1 and the lower mounting plate 2 fit more tightly, and also preventing the mounting screws 3 from stripping after long-term use, preventing loosening between the upper mounting plate 1 and the lower mounting plate 2. After installation, the airbag... The pad 10 is in a state of being squeezed by the cable. The elasticity of the airbag pad 10 itself can fully clamp the cable by the upper mounting plate 1 and the lower mounting plate 2, improving the tightness of the installation. At this time, the drive mechanism 5 is attached to the surface of the cable, and the cleaning component 7, drying component 8 and marking component 9 are all on the outer surface of the cable. The drive mechanism 5 drives the entire device to move along the outer surface of the cable. While the device moves, the cleaning component 7 wipes the surface of the cable to clean the impurities on the cable surface. The airflow generated by the drying component 8 can blow away the dust on the surface of the cable and accelerate the drying of the moisture on the surface of the cable, which can extend the service life of the cable and protect the cable. Then, the marking component 9 scans and detects the cleaned cable surface and sprays paint to mark the detected damaged positions, which is convenient for subsequent maintenance by the staff.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
