[0002] Power line clamps are used to connect the main line end and the secondary line end in the power system, so as to achieve connection and conduction between the two. The selection of power line clamps must meet the requirements of wire diameter and power performance. At the connection point of the line clamp, the conduction between the line ends should be maintained. In the prior art, general line clamps are only used to clamp and connect wires of one wire diameter. When it is necessary to clamp transmission lines of multiple wire diameters, multiple line clamps of different specifications are required. This requires a high investment cost, and the simultaneous use of line clamps of multiple specifications will increase the labor intensity of the staff. Moreover, when a line clamp fails, it is impossible to accurately and quickly obtain the location of the faulty line clamp, resulting in low maintenance efficiency, which affects people's electricity usage. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a universal connector and an automatic monitoring and positioning method, which can adapt to cable clamping connections of different sizes, and can accurately locate the position of the connector through a GPS locator. When a fault occurs, it can be accurately located for inspection, repair or replacement, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and fully ensuring that people's electricity use is not affected.

[0028] In order to make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, this embodiment provides a universal connector, including: a shell 1, a conductive member 2, a locking assembly 3, a blocking assembly 4 and a GPS locator 5, wherein a receiving space is formed inside the shell 1, and two penetrating wire holes are provided on the surface of the shell 1, and an opening 102 corresponding to the two wire holes is provided on the side thereof; the conductive member 2 is arranged in the receiving space, and the conductive member 2 includes a first wire fixing portion 201 and a second wire fixing portion 202 arranged diagonally, the first wire fixing portion 201 and the second wire fixing portion 202 are respectively opposite to the two wire holes, the first wire fixing portion 201 and the second wire fixing portion 202 are both in an arc shape, and the curvature of the first wire fixing portion 201 is greater than or equal to that of the second wire fixing portion 202 The locking assembly 3 is installed on the shell 1, and the locking assembly 3 can move between a locking position and an unlocking position. When in the locking position, the locking assembly 3 can press the wire core placed on the first wire fixing part 201 or the second wire fixing part 202, thereby locking the wire core; when in the unlocking position, the locking assembly 3 is separated from the surface of the wire core; the blocking assembly 4 is installed on the side of the shell 1, and the blocking assembly 4 can move between the first position and the second position. When the blocking assembly 4 moves to the first position, the opening 102 is closed; when the blocking assembly 4 moves to the second position, the opening 102 is opened; the GPS locator 5 is installed in the shell 1.

[0032] Based on the above scheme, the cables to be connected are respectively passed through the two wire holes of the housing 1, and the wire core of the cable will contact the first wire fixing portion 201 and the second wire fixing portion 202 of the conductive member 2. Since the first wire fixing portion 201 and the second wire fixing portion 202 are both arc-shaped, they can adapt to cable cores of different sizes, provide a certain clamping force, and ensure good contact between the cable and the conductive member 2. Move the locking assembly 3 to the locking position, and the locking assembly 3 will press the wire core placed on the first wire fixing portion 201 or the second wire fixing portion 202, further enhancing the clamping force between the cable and the conductive member 2, and ensuring the stability and conductivity of the connection. When the cable needs to be disassembled, move the locking assembly 3 to the unlocking position, the locking assembly 3 is detached from the surface of the wire core, and the cable can be easily removed from the wire hole. When the position where the wire core of the connected cable is exposed is relatively close to the end of the cable, the cable can be passed through the wire hole so that the wire core is in contact with the conductive member 2 and locked. However, when the wire core is in a relatively middle position of the cable, the method of passing the cable through the wire hole will make the installation time too long. Therefore, the blocking component 4 can be moved to the second position so that the opening 102 is opened, and the position where the wire core of the cable is exposed can directly enter the first fixed wire part 201 or the second fixed wire part 202 from the opening 102, and then the blocking component 4 is moved to the first position to close the opening 102, so as to achieve the preliminary closure of the cable and ensure that the position of the wire core is in corresponding contact with the conductive member 2, and finally the locking operation is performed through the locking component 3. More importantly, the GPS locator 5 is installed in the housing 1, and the position information of the connector can be recorded in real time. When the connector fails, the position of the connector can be quickly and accurately obtained through the GPS locator 5, so that the maintenance personnel can quickly arrive at the site for detection, maintenance or replacement. The connector has good conductivity and stability, which can ensure reliable connection and conduction between the main line cable and the auxiliary line cable in the power system. It has the characteristics of strong versatility, easy operation, precise positioning and ensuring safe electricity use. It is of great significance to improve the reliability and safety of the power system.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the shell 1 is an insulator. As the outer protective layer of the connector, the insulating shell 1 can effectively isolate the internal conductive parts from the external environment to prevent current leakage and short circuit risks. In the power system, electrical safety is of vital importance. The use of the insulating shell 1 greatly enhances the electrical safety performance of the connector, ensuring the personal safety of the operation and maintenance personnel and the stable operation of the power system. Since the insulating shell 1 has good insulation and weather resistance, the connector can be used in various harsh environments, such as humid, dusty, high temperature and other environments, which makes the application range of the connector wider and can meet the use requirements in different scenarios. Moreover, the insulating shell 1 not only has excellent electrical properties, but also has good mechanical strength and durability. It can withstand certain external forces and impacts to protect the internal conductive parts from damage. Therefore, the connector can maintain stable performance during long-term operation and reduce the possibility of failure.

[0034] The design of the insulating housing 1 makes the installation and maintenance of the connector easier. The operation and maintenance personnel do not need to worry about electrical safety issues caused by improper operation, and can focus more on the installation and commissioning of the connector. At the same time, the insulating housing 1 is also easy to clean and maintain, extending the service life of the connector.

[0035] Further, at least two inductive sensors 6 are also provided in the housing 1, one of which is used to detect the current carrying capacity of the core placed on the first fixed line part 201, and the other inductive sensor 6 is used to detect the current carrying capacity of the core placed on the second fixed line part 202. The inductive sensor 6 can monitor the current carrying capacity of the core in real time, and provide key operation data for the operation and maintenance personnel. By monitoring the current carrying capacity, the operation and maintenance personnel can timely understand the load of the power system and prevent the occurrence of faults such as overload and short circuit. Since the inductive sensor 6 can monitor the current carrying capacity in real time, the operation and maintenance personnel can more accurately determine the operating status of the connector. Once a fault or abnormal situation occurs, the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly locate and take measures to deal with it, thereby improving the operation and maintenance efficiency. By monitoring the current carrying capacity in real time, the operation and maintenance personnel can timely discover potential electrical safety hazards, such as overload, short circuit, etc., which helps the operation and maintenance personnel to take timely measures to prevent and deal with it, thereby enhancing the safety of the power system. At the same time, the current carrying capacity data provided by the inductive sensor 6 can help the operation and maintenance personnel to more reasonably allocate power resources and optimize the operating efficiency of the power system. For example, during peak hours, operation and maintenance personnel can adjust the load distribution of the power system based on the current carrying capacity data to ensure the stable operation of the power system.

[0036] Among them, the inductance sensor 6 is a method for calculating the current carrying capacity of wires and cables by measuring the induced electromotive force of the wires and cables. When current flows through the wires, a magnetic field is generated around them, and the change of this magnetic field will cause the change of inductance. By measuring the change of inductance, the current in the wire can be calculated, and then the current carrying capacity can be evaluated. The inductance sensor 6 has the characteristics of high precision and wide measurement range, and is suitable for monitoring the current carrying capacity of various wires and cables. But similarly, this method also requires professional measurement equipment and calculation process.

[0037] Furthermore, a temperature sensor 7 is also provided in the housing 1. The inductive sensor 6 can monitor the current carrying capacity of the core in real time, providing key operating data for the operation and maintenance personnel; at the same time, the temperature sensor 7 can monitor the temperature inside the connector in real time to ensure that the connector operates within a safe temperature range. Through the cooperation of these two sensors, the operation and maintenance personnel can fully understand the operating status of the connector. Since the inductive sensor 6 and the temperature sensor 7 can monitor the current carrying capacity and temperature in real time, the operation and maintenance personnel can more accurately determine the operating status of the connector. Once a fault or abnormal situation occurs, such as overload, short circuit or overtemperature, the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly locate and take measures to deal with it, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of operation and maintenance.

[0038] In some embodiments, a receiving groove 101 is provided in the side wall of the housing 1, and the side of the receiving groove 101 opposite to the opening 102 is connected to the opening 102, and the blocking assembly 4 includes a baffle 401 slidably mounted on the receiving groove 101, and a push-pull portion 402 connected to the baffle 401, and the push-pull portion 402 at least partially extends out of the housing 1. Through the push-pull portion 402, the operation and maintenance personnel can easily slide the baffle 401 to achieve the closing and opening of the opening 102, which not only simplifies the installation and removal process of the cable, but also improves the convenience and efficiency of the operation. At the same time, when the baffle 401 is in the closed position, it can effectively prevent the cable from escaping from the opening 102, thereby enhancing the stability and safety of the connector. The design of the receiving groove 101 and the blocking assembly 4 makes the internal structure of the connector more compact and orderly, which not only improves the overall aesthetics of the connector, but also helps to reduce space occupancy and reduce costs. In addition, maintenance personnel can determine the status of the baffle 401 by observing the position of the push-pull portion 402, thereby quickly understanding the cable management status of the connector. This intuitive design enhances the user experience and makes the maintenance process smoother and more efficient.

[0039] In particular, a locking position is provided on one end face of the opening 102 away from the receiving groove 101, and a locking portion that cooperates with the locking position to lock is provided on the baffle 401. The cooperation design of the locking position and the locking portion enables the baffle 401 to be firmly locked at the opening 102 in the closed state, effectively preventing the cable from accidentally coming out of the opening 102, which not only enhances the safety of the connector, but also improves its stability in harsh environments. The operation and maintenance personnel can slide the baffle 401 by operating the push-pull portion 402, and when the baffle 401 slides to the closed position, the locking portion will automatically cooperate with the locking position to lock. Similarly, when the opening 102 needs to be opened, the operation and maintenance personnel only need to push or pull the push-pull portion 402 with a little force, and the locking portion can be unlocked from the locking position, so that the opening 102 can be easily opened. This convenient locking and unlocking operation greatly simplifies the installation and removal process of the cable.

[0040] Generally speaking, the locking assembly 3 includes a fastener 301 connected to the housing 1 by threading, a pressing portion 302 arranged at the first end of the fastener 301, the pressing portion 302 is located in the accommodating space, and the second end of the fastener 301 extends out of the housing 1. The fastener 301 is the core component of the locking assembly 3, which is connected to a specific part of the housing 1 by threading. The fastener 301 can be a bolt, a screw or other types of threaded connectors, depending on the design requirements and the size of the connector. The pressing portion 302 is arranged at the first end of the fastener 301 and is located in the accommodating space. When the fastener 301 is tightened, the pressing portion 302 will apply pressure to the wire core inside the connector, thereby ensuring that the wire core is in a locked state. The shape and size of the pressing portion 302 vary depending on the design to adapt to different locking requirements and wire core size shapes. The second end of the fastener 301 extends out of the housing 1, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can use tools (such as screwdrivers or wrenches) to tighten or loosen. The second end includes a head, which is designed with a shape suitable for tool operation (such as hexagonal, straight or cross-shaped, etc.). When the wire core needs to be locked, the operation and maintenance personnel will use the tool to tighten the second end of the fastener 301 extending out of the housing 1. As the fastener 301 rotates, it will gradually penetrate along the threaded hole of the housing 1, while driving the top pressure part 302 to apply pressure to the wire core in the accommodating space. When the top pressure part 302 is in close contact with the wire core and generates sufficient friction or locking force, the wire core is locked in the accommodating space. When the cable needs to be disassembled, the operation and maintenance personnel only need to use the tool to reversely rotate the second end of the fastener 301 and twist it out of the housing 1 to release the pressure of the top pressure part 302 on the wire core, thereby unlocking the cable.

[0041] In the above scheme, the design of the threaded fastener 301 and the top pressure part 302 ensures the stability and reliability of the wire core in the locked state. The second end of the fastener 301 extends out of the shell 1, which is convenient for operation and maintenance personnel to use tools to operate, thereby improving work efficiency. The design of the locking component 3 can be adjusted and optimized according to different wire core sizes and locking requirements.

[0042] In the design of the universal connector, the locking assembly 3 ensures the stable locking of the wire core in the accommodating space, thereby ensuring the overall stability and safety of the connector. Specifically, the locking assembly 3 includes a fastener 301 connected to the housing 1 by threading, and a pressing portion 302 arranged at the first end of the fastener 301. The design of the pressing portion 302 is particularly critical. It adopts an arc-shaped design on the side relative to the wire core. This design can not only better fit the surface of the wire core, increase the contact area, and improve the stability of locking, but also reduce the local pressure of the pressing portion 302 on the wire core to avoid damage or deformation of the wire core. When the fastener 301 is tightened, the pressing portion 302 will apply appropriate pressure to the wire core, so that it is in close contact with the wall of the first fixed wire portion 201 or the second fixed wire portion 202 to achieve a locking effect. Since the pressing portion 302 has a certain elasticity and adaptability, it can adapt to the requirements of wire cores of different sizes and shapes to ensure the consistency of the locking effect. Therefore, the design of the top pressing portion 302 not only improves the stability and safety of the connector, but also enhances its adaptability and versatility, so that the connector can better adapt to various complex power system environments and ensure the reliability and safety of power transmission.

[0043] It should be noted that the housing 1 is also provided with a sleeve 8 and a sleeve cover 9, part of the fastener 301 is arranged in the sleeve 8, and the sleeve cover 9 is covered at the end of the sleeve 8. The sleeve 8 is a tubular structure arranged on the housing 1, and its internal space is used to accommodate a part of the fastener 301. The design of the sleeve 8 has several key functions: first, it provides a stable installation environment for the fastener 301 to ensure that the fastener 301 will not shake or misalign during the tightening process; second, the sleeve 8 can protect the fastener 301 from the erosion of the external environment, such as dust, moisture, etc., thereby extending the service life of the fastener 301; finally, the sleeve 8 can also serve as a transition structure between the fastener 301 and the housing 1, helping to disperse the pressure generated by the fastener 301 and avoid excessive stress concentration on the housing 1. The sleeve cover 9 is a component covered at the end of the sleeve 8, which is fixed to the sleeve 8 by threaded connection, snap connection or other means. The main function of the tube cover 9 is to close the opening 102 end of the sleeve 8 to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from entering the interior of the sleeve 8 and affecting the performance of the fastener 301. At the same time, the tube cover 9 can also provide certain protection, such as preventing people from accidentally touching the fastener 301 and causing injuries.

[0044] On the other hand, an automatic monitoring and positioning method for a universal connector is also provided, using the universal connector as described above, with one of the wire cores placed on the first wire fixing part 201, and the other wire core placed on the second wire fixing part 202, and locked by the locking assembly 3, to obtain the current carrying values ​​of the two wire cores, and compare the ratio a of the two current carrying values. If a>10%, it is determined that the universal connector has a fault, and the universal connector is further inspected or repaired and replaced by locating its position.

[0045] Based on the above scheme, a universal connector is used to fix the two wire cores on the first fixed wire part 201 and the second fixed wire part 202 respectively, and locked by the locking assembly 3 to ensure stable connection. The current carrying values ​​passing through the two wire cores are obtained by using the inductive sensor 6, and the ratio a of the two current carrying values ​​is calculated. If a>10%, it is considered that the universal connector may have faults such as poor contact, line aging or internal damage. Once the fault is identified, the position of the faulty connector is automatically located, and further inspection, repair or replacement is performed on it. In this scheme, by obtaining the current carrying value in real time and calculating the ratio, potential faults in the connector can be discovered in time to avoid the expansion of the fault and cause more serious consequences. The method can be integrated into an automated monitoring system to achieve all-weather, uninterrupted monitoring and fault warning, and improve maintenance efficiency and safety. In addition, it is only necessary to add an inductive sensor 6, a GPS locator 5 and a monitoring system to the existing connector, without major modifications to the connector itself.

[0046] In addition, to ensure the accuracy of current detection, the inductive sensor 6 should be calibrated and maintained regularly. At the same time, a fault database can be established to perform statistical analysis on historical fault data to identify fault modes and trends and provide a basis for preventive maintenance. Moreover, the selected inductive sensor 6 and monitoring system should match the type and specifications of the universal connector to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the detection results.

[0047] Furthermore, the current weather conditions are obtained through networking. When encountering hail, heavy rain or typhoon weather, the current carrying capacity parameters and temperature parameters of all the universal connectors in use are uniformly detected, and it is determined whether the corresponding universal connector is faulty based on the detected parameters. When it is determined that a fault occurs, the fault location is located through the GPS locator 5, and it is tested or repaired and replaced. The current weather conditions are obtained in real time through networking, especially paying attention to extreme weather warnings such as hail, heavy rain, and typhoons. After encountering extreme weather, all universal connectors in use are uniformly tested for current carrying capacity parameters and temperature parameters. According to the detected current carrying capacity and temperature parameters, combined with preset thresholds or standards, it is determined whether the connector is faulty. When it is determined that a connector is faulty, the fault location is quickly located through the GPS locator 5, and it is tested, repaired or replaced.

[0048] In general, the weather conditions obtained through the Internet can provide early warning of extreme weather and provide a time window for subsequent parameter detection and fault judgment. Current carrying capacity and temperature parameters are important indicators of connector performance. By detecting these two parameters at the same time, the status of the connector can be more comprehensively evaluated. The GPS locator 5 can quickly and accurately locate faulty connectors, improve maintenance efficiency, and reduce downtime. Through regular parameter detection and weather monitoring, potential faults can be discovered in time, and preventive measures can be taken to avoid failures.
