Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power maintenance auxiliary tools, in particular to an adjustable tool for assisting in and out of a tension insulator. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the demand for electricity has greatly increased, and the 220kV transmission line as an ultra-high voltage can no longer meet the requirements, and 500KV, 800KV and even 1000kV ultra-high voltage transmission lines have appeared. The 500KV, 800KV and even 1000kV ultra-high voltage transmission lines use 4-8 split conductors, and their transmission lines use 2-4 strings of insulators respectively, and the weight is sharply increased compared with the previous 220kV transmission lines. For example, the 500KV ultra-high voltage transmission line uses 2-4 strings, 28-31 pieces / string, and a single weight of 8KG / piece insulators, the 800KV ultra-high voltage transmission line uses 3-4 strings, 78 pieces / string, and a single weight of 28-30KG / piece insulators, and the 1000KV ultra-high voltage transmission line uses 3-4 strings, 5, 60 pieces / string, and a single weight of more than 20KG / piece insulators, and the total weight increases sharply. This puts higher demands on the power supply reliability, live working, and live replacement of insulator strings of UHV transmission lines.

[0003] For example, in the past, when replacing the tension insulator strings of a 220kV transmission line, because they used 2-4 strings, 28-31 pieces / string, and 8KG / piece of insulators, when replacing the insulator strings under power, the insulator strings could be easily loosened by using a motorized capstan, so that they slowly fell off and drooped to the ground, and then reset after the insulator strings were repaired or replaced.

[0004] As mentioned above, as the transmission lines are gradually developed and improved, the weight of the tension insulator strings on them becomes heavier and cannot be loosened by manpower. Even if a motorized winch is used, the operation is inconvenient and laborious. When replacing the tension insulator strings, two or three connecting plates must be used to connect multiple strings of insulator strings with a total weight of several tons for a second time before loosening and replacing them. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on the connection of the connecting plates, which must have a simple structure and be easy to assemble and disassemble. In addition, due to the limitations of existing production specifications, usage habits, and manufacturing cost requirements, the existing connecting plates or clamps used as the main connecting components for live replacement of insulator strings are standardized isosceles triangles or isosceles trapezoids with hypotenuses, which makes the operation of the tension insulator strings unstable and easy to slip out, making it difficult to easily replace the 1000KV tension insulator strings. In severe cases, it may even lead to safety accidents. Therefore, a tool that can assist operators in stabilizing the working platform is needed.

[0005] At present, all new tension towers are equipped with adjustment plates to extend the distance between the insulator and the tower cross arm. Due to the connection structure between the cross arm and the tension insulator, the tower climbing workers are in a complex and inconvenient process and are also very dangerous when entering and exiting the tower cross arm and the tension insulator. The current technical design and engineering application lack special tools for simply temporarily adding connecting components between the cross arm and the tension insulator. The tower climbing workers are prone to lose balance when they rely on a single string of connecting hardware to enter and exit the tower cross arm and the tension insulator. As disclosed in the publication number CN206099155U, an auxiliary tool for replacing tension insulators during a power outage is disclosed, comprising two support rods, the two support rods are arranged in parallel, a plurality of cross bars perpendicular to the support rods are fixed between the two support rods, the cross bars are evenly spaced, both ends of the support rods are retractable rods, a cross bar is connected between the ends of the retractable rods, one cross bar between the retractable rods is connected with a hook for hanging on the conductor, the hook is rotatably connected to the cross bar, the other cross bar between the retractable rods is fixed on the cross arm, the auxiliary tool is flush with the insulator string, the staff sits on the auxiliary tool to operate, but its on-site adjustment device is relatively complicated and difficult; or as disclosed in the publication number CN101174761B Disclosed are a method for live replacement of a tension insulator string of a high-voltage transmission line and a two-plate device. The method uses special tools such as end wing-shaped clamps and insulating pull plates to first loosen the insulator string and utilize pulleys and screw rods on the cross arm side and the conductor side to completely detach both ends of the insulator string. Finally, with the help of the pulley on the ground wire support, the porcelain bottle string is rotated from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The two-plate device for live replacement of the tension insulator string of a high-voltage transmission line comprises two wing-shaped clamps and two screw rods, and also comprises two pairs of insulating pull plates. The ends of the two pairs of insulating pull plates are respectively connected to the two wings of the wing-shaped clamps, and the other ends are respectively connected to a screw. The other ends of the two screw rods are respectively connected to the two wings of the other wing-shaped clamps. The structure is relatively large, which will generate additional burden for the operators.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the invention is that in view of the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art, an adjustable tool for assisting the entry and exit of tension insulators has been developed. The tool has a simple structure and is convenient for assembly and disassembly. The additional connection structure not only ensures the personal safety of the operators, but also improves the operation safety and labor efficiency, thereby turning complex operations into simpler operations, greatly shortening the equipotential operation time, and ensuring the safe operation of the line. Summary of the invention

[0037] The technical solution of this patent is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0038] 1. The present invention is composed of the following main parts and components:

[0039] It consists of a front fixing plate, a front steering head, a sleeve, a threaded rod, an adjustment handle, a rear steering head, and a rear fixing assembly;

[0040] 2. The front fixing plate has a bent opening formed by a first fixing plate at the head end of the fixing rod, and a first threaded hole at the tail end of the fixing rod. During use, the first fixing plate at the head end needs to buckle the five-hole connecting plate connected to the tension insulator;

[0041] 3. The front end of the front steering head is open and has two screw holes, and the rear end is a disc with one screw hole. The open end of the front steering head is connected to the rear end of the front fixing plate by bolts, so that the front fixing plate connected to the front fixing plate can rotate horizontally with the connecting bolts as the axis, increasing the adaptability and operability of the device;

[0042] 4. The first end of the sleeve is cylindrical and has a screw hole, and the tail end is open and the inner wall of the opening is a threaded structure. The first end is connected to the tail end of the front steering head by bolts, so that the front steering head can rotate axially with the connecting bolt as the axis;

[0043] 5. The threaded rod is connected to the sleeve by a threaded structure, so that the threaded rod can reciprocate in and out of the tail end opening of the sleeve by axial rotation;

[0044] 6. The head and tail ends of the adjustment handle are both cylindrical, and the bottom of the tail end cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the head end cylinder. The top of the head end cylinder of the adjustment handle is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod, so that when the tail end of the adjustment handle rotates around the head end, it can drive the threaded rod to rotate axially. The bottom of the head end cylinder of the adjustment handle is fixedly connected with a bolt;

[0045] 7. The front end of the rear steering head is open and has two screw holes, and the rear end is a disc with one screw hole. The rear end of the rear steering head is connected to the bottom of the cylinder at the front end of the adjustment handle by bolts;

[0047] The above are the structural connections and movement principles of the main components;

[0048] The installation steps for tower climbers before entering the tension insulator from the cross arm are as follows:

[0049] First, adjust the device casing to a longer state, and the open end of the rear fixing plate buckles the plate body of the cross-arm tower material component. Adjust the tool as a whole to make the open end of the front fixing plate larger, so that it can easily approach and buckle the five-hole connecting plate connected to the tension insulator. Turn the adjustment handle to rotate the threaded rod into the casing until the connection between the front fixing plate and the five-hole connecting plate, and the rear fixing plate and the cross-arm tower material are not loose. Only then can the tower climbers enter the tension insulator from the cross-arm.

[0050] The disassembly steps for tower climbers after returning to the crossarm from the tension insulator are as follows:

[0051] After the tower climber returns to the crossarm from the tension insulator, he turns the adjusting handle to rotate the threaded rod out of the bushing until the head end of the front fixing plate is completely separated from the five-eye connecting plate, disengages the two, and then tightens the device to complete the disassembly of the tool.
