[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so as to more clearly understand the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are only intended to explain that the technical solution of the present invention is not limited to one implementation method.

[0017] Combined with Figures 1 to 7 The special sensor for cable overheat detection described in the specification has alarm rings 5 ​​respectively arranged at the parts of the cable 1 that are prone to overheating, and the two ends formed by the lower disconnected position of the alarm ring 5 are provided with connecting plates 15, and the screws 16 respectively pass through the through holes 24 of the connecting plates 15 at the two ends of the alarm ring 5 and are locked by nuts 17. The clamping plate 3 is an inverted U-shaped structure, and the inner sides of the two vertical plates of the clamping plate 3 of the inverted U-shaped structure are respectively provided with protruding blocks 21, and the two vertical plates of the clamping plate 3 are respectively located on the outer sides of the two vertical plates 13 of the alarm ring 5, and the protruding blocks 21 on the inner sides of the two vertical plates of the clamping plate 3 are clamped with the bayonet 14 of the two vertical plates 13 of the alarm ring 5, and the bayonet 14 is provided in the middle of the two vertical plates 13 of the alarm ring 5, and the clamping plate 3 is arranged between the upper ends of the two vertical plates 13, and a hot melt adhesive block 19 is arranged in the opening 18 between the two vertical plates 13, and the lifting rod 11 and the connecting plate 20 are one. The body structure is as follows: the lower surface of the connecting plate 20 is connected to the hot melt adhesive block 19 by adhesive 25, the upper part of the lifting rod 11 is passed through the through hole 26 in the middle of the clamping plate 3, and the upper and lower ends of the spring 4 sleeved on the outer edge of the lifting rod 11 are respectively pressed on the connecting plate 20 at the lower part of the clamping plate 3 and the upper part of the hot melt adhesive block 19, and a raised ring 23 is arranged at the upper opening of the through hole 26 in the middle of the upper surface of the clamping plate 3, and the lower copper ring 12 is connected to the outside of the raised ring 23 and the upper surface of the clamping plate 3 by adhesive, wherein the height of the raised ring 23 is slightly lower than that of the lower copper ring 12, and the upper copper ring 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the lifting rod 11; the power line A6 is fixedly connected to the lower copper ring 12 by multiple power branch lines A10; the power line B7 is connected to the upper copper ring 2 by multiple power branch lines B22, and the power line A6 and the power line B7 are connected to the signal transmitter 8.

[0018] Combined with Figure 1 , 6 Or 7, the signal transmitter 8 has a No. 5 battery 28 and a single-chip microcomputer 27 built in. The single-chip microcomputer 27 is provided with a power-on information collection module, a power-on information acquisition module and a signal transmission module. The signal transmission module of the single-chip microcomputer 27 transmits the information to a remote terminal. The remote terminal is a monitoring host 29 in the 24-hour duty room of the power department. The monitoring host 29 is a computer terminal with a display. The computer terminal has a built-in remote communication module. After the monitoring host 29 performs signal-related processing, it notifies the mobile phone 30 of the specific power-on time information and location information by SMS. As a simplified solution, if the signal transmitter 8 of the present invention is installed in a manned duty room, each hot melt adhesive block 19 of the power line A6 led out from the positive electrode of the battery 28 can be melted and connected to the power line B7, and then the power line B7 is connected to the speaker. At this time, the negative electrode of the battery 28 connected to the speaker makes the speaker work and emits a warning sound to prompt that the cable is overheated at a certain point, and then the on-duty personnel will check and provide information for repair.

[0019] The dedicated sensor for cable overheat detection according to the present invention is implemented in combination with the attached Figures 1 to 7 The hot melt adhesive block 19 of the present invention can use granular low-viscosity hot melt adhesive for furniture edge sealing, preferably with a melting point temperature between 70-84 degrees, and use a mold slightly smaller than the opening 18 of the ring 5 to melt and produce a rectangular block; the clamping plate 3 and the lifting rod 11 and connecting plate 20 of the integrated structure are made of nylon material with a higher melting point temperature; the ring 5 is made of steel material.

At this time, spring 4 moves downward against connecting plate 20, and upper copper ring 2 also begins to approach lower copper ring 12. When upper copper ring 2 contacts lower copper ring 12, positive line of battery 28 is connected to single-chip microcomputer 27.
