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

[0015] 1. The flexible grounding wire clamp is provided with an adjustment component. When the contact finger in the clamp body clamps the cross bar of the cable contact point, the contact finger will generate a clamping force under the torsion force of the torsion spring, and when it is necessary to adjust the clamping force of the contact finger on the cable contact point, the movable plates on both sides of the clamp body are moved downward, thereby driving the telescopic rod 1 connected to the movable plate and the connecting frame at the end of the telescopic rod 1 to move downward together, and under the elastic force of the connecting spring 1, the abutting roller rotatably connected inside the connecting frame will always fit with the outer side of the contact finger, thereby strengthening the clamping force of the contact finger on the cable contact point, and the more the telescopic rod 1 and the connecting frame are moved downward, the greater the clamping force applied to the contact finger, thereby realizing the adjustment of the clamping force of the grounding wire clamp on the cable contact point, so that the grounding wire clamp is suitable for different working environments.

[0016] 2. The flexible grounding wire clamp is provided with a downward pressure component. When the jacking device lifts the clamp body upward, the cable release point of the support plate will be released first during use, and as the lifting movement continues, the cable release point will generate downward pressure on the support plate, thereby pushing the support plate to move downward and contracting the telescopic rod 2 connected to its bottom. At the same time, in the process of the downward movement of the support plate, the fixed racks connected on both sides of the support plate will also be driven to move downward, and the spur gear meshing with the fixed rack will be driven to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft coaxially fixedly connected to the spur gear and the roller brush coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby cleaning the cable contact point, and in the process of releasing the clamping and contracting the wire clamp, the roller brush will be driven in the reverse direction to reverse, thereby cleaning the cable contact point again, so that the wire clamp can clean the cable contact point while clamping it.

[0017] 3. The flexible grounding wire clamp is provided with a fixing component. When the grounding wire clamp is installed in use, first, the push rod is pushed so that one end of the push rod squeezes one end of a sliding block, thereby pushing it to move toward the center of the connecting base along the track of the fixed track, and under the action of the rotating rod, the other sliding block will also move toward the center of the connecting base, so that the two abutment blocks are close to each other, and then one end of the plug-in rod connected to the clamp body is inserted into the plug-in seat, and then the abutment between one end of the push rod and the sliding block is released, and then the two sliding blocks will move in the opposite direction along the track of the fixed track under the action of the telescopic rod three and the connecting spring three, and the abutment block will abut against the groove on the inner wall of one end of the plug-in rod, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the plug-in rod and the clamp body connected to its end, and the fixation can be quickly released by repeating the above operation in reverse.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention.

Through the linkage design of the movable plate 3, the telescopic rod 4, the connecting frame 5 and the abutting roller 6, the clamping force of the contact finger 2 on the cable contact point can be easily adjusted. When the clamping force needs to be enhanced, it is only necessary to move the movable plate 3 downward to apply additional pressure to the contact finger 2 through the abutting roller 6, thereby ensuring the stability of the clamping, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the grounding wire clamp, and enabling it to cope with cables of different diameters and materials.

[0029] Among them, both sides of the clamp body 1 are rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 12, and the rotating shaft 12 is coaxially fixedly connected with a spur gear 13, and one end of the rotating shaft 12 is coaxially installed with a roller brush 14, and the brushes of the roller brush 14 overlap with each other. The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected on both sides of the clamp body 1, and the spur gear 13 and the roller brush 14 are coaxially fixedly connected. When the rotating shaft 12 rotates under the drive of the fixed rack 11, the roller brush 14 rotates accordingly.

[0030] Among them, fixed rails 18 are fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the connecting base 17, and the two fixed rails 18 are slidably connected with sliding blocks 19.

[0031] Among them, both ends of the connecting shaft 15 are coaxially fixed with connecting plates, the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a torsion spring 16, one end of the torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamp body 1, when the contact finger 2 contacts the cable contact point and moves to the outside of the clamp body 1 under its squeezing action, the torsion spring 16 can provide partial basic clamping force for the contact finger 2.

[0033] Telescopic rod 28 in this application Figure 7 In this case, the telescopic rod 8 is configured to be composed of two linear rods which are nested with each other, and the telescopic movement is achieved by relative sliding between the two linear rods.

[0034] Among them; a fixed block 24 is fixedly installed on the top of one end of the connecting base 17, the fixed block 24 is movably connected to a push rod 25, a fixed disc 26 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the push rod 25, the fixed disc 26 is fixedly connected to a connecting spring four 27, and one end of the connecting spring four 27 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 24, and the push rod 25 passes through the interior of the connecting spring four 27.

[0035] Among them; the top of the connecting base 17 is fixedly installed with a socket 28, the socket 28 is plugged with a plug rod 29, and one end of the plug rod 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamp body 1, and the inner wall of the other end of the plug rod 29 is provided with a groove.

[0036] The clamp body 1 is U-shaped, and the contact finger 2 is made of a flexible material.

[0037] Among them, the grounding wire clamp cooperates with the existing lifting device to play the functions of automatic clamping, hanging state detection and conductor detection.

[0038] Working principle: when in use, first push the push rod 25 so that one end of it applies pressure to one of the sliding blocks 19, causing the sliding block to slide along the predetermined path of the fixed track 18 toward the center of the connecting base 17. At the same time, due to the linkage mechanism of the rotating rod 21, the other sliding block 19 will also move accordingly toward the center of the connecting base 17, causing the two abutment blocks 20 to approach each other. Next, the user accurately inserts one end of the plug-in rod 29 equipped with the clamp body 1 into the plug-in seat 28. After the insertion is completed, release the push rod 25 so that it no longer applies pressure to the sliding block 19. At this time, the two sliding blocks 19 will move in opposite directions along the fixed track 18 under the rebound force of the telescopic rod three 22 and the elastic action of the connecting spring three 23 until their respective abutment blocks 20 are tightly fitted with the groove on the inner wall of one end of the plug-in rod 29, thereby achieving stable installation of the plug-in rod 29 and the clamp body 1 connected thereto.

[0039] Secondly, the connection base 17 and the device on the top are lifted by the supporting lifting rod to ground and clamp. When the contact finger 2 in the clamp body 1 clamps the crossbar of the cable contact point, the contact finger 2 will naturally generate a certain clamping force with the help of the torsion force of the torsion spring 16. If the clamping tightness of the contact finger 2 on the cable contact point needs to be adjusted according to actual needs, the operator can simply push down the movable plates 3 on both sides of the clamp body 1. This action will link the telescopic rod 14 and the connection frame 5 at its end to move downward synchronously. Under the elastic restoring force of the connection spring 17, the flexibly rotating abutting roller 6 inside the connection frame 5 will fit closely to the outer surface of the contact finger 2, forming a dynamic reinforcement mechanism, which effectively increases the clamping pressure of the contact finger 2 on the cable contact point. It is worth noting that as the downward movement distance of the movable plate 3, the telescopic rod 4 and the connecting frame 5 increases, the additional clamping force applied to the contact finger 2 by the abutting roller 6 will also be correspondingly enhanced, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the clamping force. At the same time, as the lifting action proceeds, the cable contact point will naturally exert downward pressure on the support plate 9, and this pressure pushes the support plate 9 to move downward. The downward movement of the support plate 9 is not only accompanied by the contraction of the telescopic rod 8 connected to its bottom, but also transmits power through the racks 11 fixed on both sides. The downward movement of the rack 11 drives the spur gear 13 meshing with it to rotate, and the rotation of the spur gear 13 further drives the coaxially fixed rotating shaft 12 to rotate, and the roller brush 14 at one end of the rotating shaft 12 also begins to rotate. This rotation action effectively performs a preliminary cleaning of the cable contact point and removes possible dust or impurities, thereby maintaining a good transmission effect of the cable contact point.
