Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pruning, and in particular to a complete set of auxiliary devices for tree felling on overhead lines of a distribution network. Background Art

[0002] When trees grow too high or their branches are too long, they are likely to come into contact with overhead power lines, causing problems such as short circuits and grounding faults, which in turn cause line tripping and power outages. By cutting down trees and pruning them, we can effectively avoid the interference of trees on the lines, reduce the occurrence of line faults, and ensure the stable supply of power from the overhead power lines of the distribution network.

[0003] In the prior art, pruning tools are usually used for pruning, such as the "convenient and labor-saving branch pruning device" disclosed in patent announcement number CN106111922B, which can use an operating rod to prune branches around the overhead lines of the distribution network on the basis of having sufficient electrical insulation capacity;

[0004] However, due to the uneven output torque during the tree felling process, the existing pruning tools cannot maintain a stable working output point during the tree felling process, causing the operator to expend a lot of force to maintain the position during the tree felling process, and even more easily accidentally damaging the insulation layer of the line conductor, making the tree felling work time-consuming, labor-intensive and dangerous.

[0005] Therefore, it is usually necessary to set up an auxiliary support device on site for support. According to the actual tree growth conditions at the work site, the auxiliary pole type is selected in a targeted manner to cooperate with the tree felling device to work. There are usually two types of existing auxiliary support devices.

[0037] Example:

[0041] The third rotating shaft 17 is provided with external spline teeth on both the left and right parts, and the first one-way wheel 18 and the second one-way wheel 19 are provided with internal spline grooves. The external spline teeth and the internal spline grooves are adapted to each other, and the first one-way wheel 18 and the second one-way wheel 19 rotate in opposite directions.

[0042] like Figure 3 , 4As shown, the supporting clamp 3 includes a U-shaped clamp 31, and grooves are provided on opposite sides of the U-shaped clamp 31 near its opening, and corresponding movable plates 33 are rotatably connected in the grooves through a first rotating shaft 32, and the first rotating shaft 32 is relatively located in the middle of the movable plate 33, and a first sliding groove 35 is provided on the side wall of the U-shaped clamp 31, and the top plate 36 is located inside the U-shaped clamp 31 and linearly approaches or moves away from the inner side wall of the U-shaped clamp 31 away from the opening under the guidance of the first sliding groove 35, and the limiting plate 34 is linearly slidably connected to the outer side wall of the U-shaped clamp 31 along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 32, and a return spring (not shown in the accompanying drawings) is connected between the limiting plate 34 and the outer side wall of the U-shaped clamp 31, and a guide wheel is installed on the outer side wall of the U-shaped clamp 31, and a pull rope 37 guided by the guide wheel is connected between one end of the limiting plate 34 and the top plate 36.

[0043] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the clamping structure 4 includes a U-shaped frame 41, which is rotatably connected to a baffle 43 on one side of the opening of the U-shaped frame 41 through a second rotating shaft 42, and a pressure plate 46 is slidably connected to the side of the U-shaped frame 41 close to the baffle 43, and a spring sheet is provided between the pressure plate 46 and the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 41, and a push rod 44 is linearly slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 41, and a connecting rod 45 is hinged at the right end of the push rod 44, and the other end of the connecting rod 45 away from the push rod 44 is hinged to the pressure plate 46, and a plurality of groups of card grooves are evenly opened on the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 42 around its axis, and the card grooves are adapted to the free ends of the push rod 44.

[0044] How it works:

[0045] When ground support mode is needed: Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the lower end of the telescopic rod 1 is placed on the bottom surface through the clamping structure. At this time, the opening of the U-shaped clamp 31 faces upward, and the movable plate 33 freely hangs down under the action of its own gravity and is hidden in the groove of the side wall of the U-shaped clamp 31. At this time, the movable plate 33 will not close the opening of the U-shaped clamp 31, and the rod of the pruning tool can be placed in the U-shaped clamp 31 for support. With the support of the auxiliary device, the pruning tool can save effort in cutting branches of trees with extreme angles and bare trunks, and provide strong support for the force bearing point of the tree cutting device under trees with extreme angles and bare trunks.

[0046] When you need to use the branch clamp mode: Figure 2 , 4As shown, the clamping structure 4 is located at the upper end of the telescopic rod 1, and the supporting clamp 3 is located at the lower end of the telescopic rod 1. First, the U-shaped frame 41 with an opening on the side wall is put on a thicker branch. During this process, the baffle 43 can rotate without interfering. The pressure plate 46 is relatively pressed on the upper surface of the branch. Under the action of the overall gravity of the auxiliary device, the pressure plate 46 moves upward a short distance relative to the U-shaped frame 41 and causes the spring sheet to generate elastic force. During the upward movement of the pressure plate 46, the connecting rod 45 drives the push rod 44 to move leftward, so that the left end of the push rod 44 is inserted into a slot of the second rotating shaft 42, thereby fixing the second rotating shaft 42. The fixation of the second rotating shaft 42 realizes the fixation of the baffle 43 relative to the U-shaped frame 41, so that the baffle 43 closes the upper half of the opening of the U-shaped frame 41, thereby preventing the branch from escaping from the inside of the U-shaped frame 41; thereby realizing the auxiliary device being suspended on the branch.

[0047] When the branch needs to be separated from the U-shaped frame 41, an external force is first used to lift the auxiliary device upward, so that the pressure plate 46 is separated from the branch. The pressure plate 46 moves downward and resets under the action of the spring sheet, so that the push rod 44 moves rightward and resets and is pulled out of the slot of the second rotating shaft 42. At this time, the baffle 43 can rotate freely without hindering the separation of the branch.

[0048] At this time, the opening of the U-shaped clip 31 is facing downward. Figure 4 As shown, the movable plate 33 rotates downward under the action of its own gravity, and a part of the movable plate 33 rotates to the opening of the U-shaped clamp 31, and the other part of the movable plate 33 abuts against the limit plate 34 during the upward rotation process; in this state, the two groups of movable plates 33 substantially close the opening of the U-shaped clamp 31, and at this time, the rod of the pruning tool can push the two groups of movable plates 33 upward in one direction to move into the U-shaped clamp 31, and then, the rod of the pruning tool is restricted by the two groups of movable plates 33 and cannot be separated from the U-shaped clamp 31. At this time, the rod of the pruning tool is restricted to the inside of the U-shaped clamp 31 to achieve support, which provides convenience for subsequent pruning work and provides strong support for the force points of the tree felling device under trees with extreme angles and bare trunks;

[0049] After the rod of the pruning tool is separated from the pressure plate 46, the limit plate 34 is reset and moved to the rotation path of the movable plate 33 under the push of the reset spring.

[0050] like Figure 1 When the telescopic rod 1 is extended, the pruning tool pressed thereon will not be shortened; Figure 2 When the telescopic rod 1 is in the state of being stretched, the telescopic rod 1 can only be shortened, so that the pruning tool mounted thereon will not be extended;

[0051] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, since both working states of the telescopic rod 1 are vertical, the counterweight 16 in the second slide slot 15 moves downward to the lower limit position under the action of its own gravity;

[0052] One of the states is Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the N pole at the upper end of the counterweight 16 and the S pole of the third rotating shaft 17 are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby driving the third rotating shaft 17 to move horizontally to the left relative to the first rod 11. At this time, the inner spline groove of the first one-way wheel 18 is meshed with the outer spline teeth on the left part of the third rotating shaft 17, and the inner spline groove of the second one-way wheel 19 is separated from the outer spline teeth on the right part of the third rotating shaft 17. Therefore, when the second rod 12 moves relative to the first rod 11 to adjust its component length, the gear 14 is driven to rotate by the rack part 13, and the rotation of the gear 14 drives the third rotating shaft 17 to rotate. During the rotation of the third rotating shaft 17, it is restricted by the first one-way wheel 18 to rotate in one direction, so that the second rod 12 can only expand its component length relative to the first rod 11 at this time;

[0053] When the telescopic rod 1 rotates 180° and stands upside down, the counterweight 16 in the second slide groove 15 moves downward to the lower limit position under the action of its own gravity; at this time, the S pole at the upper end of the counterweight 16 and the S pole of the third rotating shaft 17 magnetically repel each other, thereby driving the third rotating shaft 17 to move horizontally to the right relative to the first rod 11. At this time, the inner spline groove of the first one-way wheel 18 is separated from the outer spline teeth on the left part of the third rotating shaft 17, and the inner spline groove of the second one-way wheel 19 is engaged with the outer spline teeth on the right part of the third rotating shaft 17. Therefore, the third rotating shaft 17 is restricted from rotating in one direction by the second one-way wheel 19 during its rotation, so that the second rod 12 can only shorten its length relative to the first rod 11 at this time.

[0054] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
