Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric power operation and maintenance, and in particular to a vertical clamping type busbar clamp. Background Art

[0002] The busbar clamp is a special tool used to connect busbars or other conductors in power systems. Its main function is to provide a reliable and stable electrical connection without welding. The busbar clamp is usually used in high voltage or high current environments to ensure the continuity and safety of power transmission.

[0003] The clamping assembly of the existing busbar clamp usually includes an upper clamping part and a lower clamping part. The upper and lower clamping operations of the two clamping parts require more lateral space. When working in a narrow space, the clamping assembly is often difficult to enter, which eventually leads to wiring failure.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing busbar clamps to solve the problem that they require more lateral clamping space and cannot be used for power connection operations in narrow spaces.

[0016] Optionally, the control circuit board is provided with a charging interface for charging the lithium battery.

[0017] Optionally, an alarm device electrically connected to the control circuit board is provided at the bottom of the fixed base.

[0018] When the two extended vertical clamps are connected, the control circuit board controls the alarm device to send out a preset warning message.

[0019] Optionally, the alarm device includes:

[0020] An indicator light, when the two extended vertical clamps are disconnected, the indicator light is red; when the two extended vertical clamps are connected, the indicator light is green;

[0021] The speaker broadcasts a warning sound of "disconnected" when the two extended vertical clamps are switched from being connected to being disconnected; and the speaker broadcasts a warning sound of "connected" when the two extended vertical clamps are switched from being disconnected to being connected.

Furthermore, the control circuit board 6 is provided with a charging interface 601 for charging the lithium battery 7, and the lithium battery 7 can be charged through the charging interface 601.

[0063] The working process of the vertical clamping busbar clamp provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0064] (1) Operation preparation:

[0065] The telescopic adjustment is performed according to the height of the working space, and the insulating rod 1 is adjusted to a suitable length. The excess knob wire will be tightened by the automatic wire take-up device 9 to avoid the wire being tangled and causing the telescopic obstruction;

[0066] (2) Adjust the clamping force:

[0067] According to the working requirements, the adjusting knob 5 is turned to adjust the output torque of the direct drive mechanism 4, so as to preset the size of the clamping force.

[0068] (3) Clamping operation:

[0069] The extended vertical clamping plate 301 is extended into a narrow space and aligned with the busbar or other conductors.

[0070] Press the adjustment knob 5 to start the direct drive mechanism 4, and the rotating screw 401 rotates under the drive of the driving motor 402. Since the threads are in opposite directions, the two extended vertical clamping plates 301 will approach each other and clamp the conductor.

[0071] (4) Electrical connection:

[0072] After the clamping assembly 3 clamps the busbar or other conductor, it can be electrically connected to other equipment (such as other busbars or test instruments, etc.) through conductive wires.

[0073] (5) Status confirmation:

[0076] (6) Release the clamping assembly 3:

[0077] After the operation is completed, click the adjustment knob 5 again, the rotating motor reverses, and the two extended vertical clamps 301 move away from each other; when the two vertical clamps are separated from the clamped busbar, the indicator light 801 shows red, and the speaker 802 broadcasts a "disconnected" warning sound.

[0078] (7) Charging and maintenance:

[0079] The lithium battery 7 is charged via the charging interface 601 to ensure continuous use of the bus clamp.

[0080] Through the above steps, the vertical clamping busbar provided in this embodiment can efficiently and safely perform electrical connection operations in a narrow space, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the operation.

[0081] In some other embodiments, a forward jog button for jogging and controlling the two extended vertical clamping plates 301 to move closer to each other, and a reverse jog button for jogging and controlling the two extended vertical clamping plates 301 to move away from each other may also be provided.

[0082] Optionally, the upper portion of the extended vertical clamping plate 301 is a conductive component (the terminal 302 is located on the upper conductive component) and the lower portion is an insulating component to prevent the current from being transmitted to the rotating screw 401 and the fixed base 2.

[0083] In summary, the vertical clamping busbar provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0084] ① Spatial adaptability: The design of the extended vertical clamp 301 enables the busbar clamp to adapt to the operation requirements of narrow spaces, solving the problem that traditional busbar clamps cannot be used when there is insufficient lateral space.

[0085] ② Convenience of operation: The output torque of the direct drive mechanism 4 is controlled by adjusting the knob 5, which is simple to operate and easy to control the size of the clamping force, making the operation more convenient.

[0086] ③ Intelligent level: The use of the control circuit board 6 makes the function of the busbar clamp more intelligent, and can monitor the clamping plate status and provide feedback, thereby improving the intelligent level of the equipment.

[0087] ④ Compact structure: The design of the hollow telescopic rod allows the current clamp to be retracted when not needed, saving space and making it easy to carry and store.

[0088] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
