Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power grid maintenance, and in particular to an optical cable tagging tool and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] The power communication network, as the foundational network for grid dispatching and the production, operation, and management of power grid enterprises, plays a crucial role. With the continuous development of smart grids, the requirements for the stability and reliability of power communication networks are becoming increasingly stringent. The high stability and reliability of fiber-optic communication will serve as a key technical support for smart grids. Currently, power fiber optic cables cover nearly all substations, power plants, power grids at all levels, and business outlets. The rapid growth of fiber optic cable lines has placed higher demands on their operation, maintenance, and management. Early construction projects lacked clear cable signage at station cable terminals and along cable lines. Later, supplementary cable signage was typically installed in conjunction with related line projects. Signage was added after power outages, or, when operating at a safe distance without power outages, required workers to ascend to a height. These heightened safety risks were exacerbated by the need for such operations.

[0003] Currently, power and telecommunication optical cables are typically suspended at heights of 3m-7m. Hanging a sign on a running cable requires either the use of climbing tools or the removal of the cable to the ground. Therefore, research is needed to develop tools that can hang signboards high above a running cable without requiring climbing or removing the cable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical cable hanging tool and a method of using the same, which is suitable for when the optical cables on the frame in the substation and the urban optical cable lines are not marked, and can change the original optical cable identification plate completion working mode. With this tool, only one operation and maintenance personnel needs to stand on the ground to fix the optical cable identification plate to the high-altitude optical cable, reducing the hanging time of the identification plate. The equipment has a high degree of automation, changing the current time-consuming and labor-intensive situation of relying entirely on manual climbing to dismantle the optical cable and then install the identification plate. For hanging large quantities of identification plates, it can greatly reduce the operation time and improve labor efficiency, while avoiding the safety hazards caused by climbing operations during the hanging of identification plates.

[0005] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solutions:
