TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-voltage transmission line protection fittings, in particular to a spacer for high-voltage transmission lines. BACKGROUND
[0002] During the operation of high-voltage transmission lines, due to factors such as wind and icing, conductor galloping often occurs. This galloping not only aggravates the mechanical wear of the conductor, but also may lead to problems such as fitting fatigue fracture and insulator damage, seriously affecting the safety and stability of the power transmission system. Although the traditional spacer can fix the distance between the split conductors to some extent, it has limitations in suppressing conductor galloping.

However, these schemes usually do not fully consider the problem of amplitude difference at different positions, i.e. the amplitude is larger in the middle position of the two towers and smaller near the towers. Therefore, when designing a spacer that can adjust the prestress, how to flexibly adjust the parameters of the energy consumption device according to the different installation environments and positions becomes the key to improving its galloping suppression performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The present application can be explained in detail by the following examples, and the purpose of disclosing the present application is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present application. In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by terms such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right" and the like only corresponds to the drawings of the present application, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation.
[0030] Example 1, combined with the attached Figures 1-3A spacer bar for high-voltage transmission lines includes an insulating frame 1 with a polygonal structure. Each corner of the insulating frame 1 is equipped with a clamp 2 for connecting to a cable. Both the insulating frame 1 and the clamp 2 are existing structures. The insulating frame 1 is used to fix the spacing between the split conductors of the high-voltage transmission line, and its shape is usually quadrilateral, hexagonal or octagonal.
[0031] Hinged seats 3 are provided at the corners and midpoints of the edges of the insulating frame 1, and at least one hinged seat is equipped with an energy dissipation device 4 that can adjust the prestress. The prestress of the energy dissipation device 4 can be adjusted according to the installation environment and location.
[0032] Typically, high-voltage transmission lines experience larger amplitude vibrations in the middle position between two towers because this location experiences the least constraint; while closer to the towers, the amplitude is relatively smaller due to the influence of the tower structure. Therefore, increasing prestress in areas with larger amplitudes helps to quickly dissipate energy, while reducing prestress in areas with smaller amplitudes enhances the sensitivity to vibration response, ensuring effective energy absorption even under slight vibrations, preventing the amplification of high-voltage transmission line galloping, and thus effectively suppressing high-voltage transmission line galloping.
[0033] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the energy dissipation device 4 includes a connecting seat 4-1, which is connected to the hinge seat 3 via a hinge shaft 4-2. A torsion spring 4-5 is fitted onto the hinge shaft 4-2 to keep the connecting seat 4-1 vertical. When the high-voltage transmission line swings left and right, the torsion spring 4-5 will dissipate energy through deformation, suppressing the left and right swing of the line.
[0034] To limit the sway angle of the entire energy-consuming device 4 and prevent accidental collisions with the insulating frame 1 or high-voltage transmission lines, limiting components are provided at both ends of the connecting base 4-1. Each limiting component includes a limiting stud 4-7 threadedly connected to the connecting base 4-1. The limiting stud 4-7 contacts the insulating frame 1 to limit the maximum sway angle of the energy-consuming device 4. By adjusting the distance between the limiting stud 4-7 and the insulating frame 1, the maximum amplitude of the entire energy-consuming device 4 can be controlled.
[0035] In addition, locking nuts 4-8 are provided at the top and bottom of the limiting stud 4-7 to secure the limiting stud 4-7 and prevent it from loosening. The end of the limiting stud 4-7 near the hinge shaft 4-2 is equipped with an anti-collision ball head 4-9, which is made of soft materials such as nylon or rubber to protect the insulating frame 1 from damage.
[0036] The bottom of the connecting seat 4-1 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 4-3, and a heavy hammer 4-4 is slidingly fitted on the guide rod 4-3, and each side of the heavy hammer 4-4 is provided with a spring 4-5. When the high-voltage transmission line appears up and down vibration, the heavy hammer 4-4 and the two springs 4-5 cooperate to dissipate vibration energy and suppress the up and down movement of the line.
[0037] The two ends of the guide rod 4-3 are threadedly connected with adjusting nuts 4-6, which are used to adjust the position of the heavy hammer 4-4 and the pre-tightening force of the springs 4-5. By changing the relative distance between the two adjusting nuts 4-6, the pre-tightening force of the springs 4-5 can be adjusted: the smaller the distance, the greater the pre-tightening force; otherwise, the smaller the pre-tightening force. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the two adjusting nuts 4-6 on the guide rod 4-3, the height of the heavy hammer 4-4 can be adjusted, thereby affecting the bending moment borne by the connecting seat 4-1. The lower the position of the heavy hammer 4-4, the greater the bending moment exerted on the connecting seat 4-1 when it swings left and right, so that the energy consumption device 4 is more sensitive to left and right swings.
[0038] In order to more effectively suppress the galloping of the high-voltage transmission line, according to the different installation positions of the energy consumption device 4, the following adjustments are made: the energy consumption device 4 located at the middle position of the two towers should adjust the position of the heavy hammer 4-4 on its guide rod 4-3 to be higher, and increase the pre-tightening force of the springs 4-5 at both ends of the heavy hammer; for the energy consumption device 4 close to the tower, the position of the heavy hammer 4-4 on the guide rod 4-3 should be lowered, and the pre-tightening force of the springs 4-5 should be reduced. Such configuration can provide appropriate resistance to vibration at different positions, optimizing the overall performance.
[0039] Embodiment 2, in combination with the accompanying drawings Figure 1 , 2 and 4, a spacer for high-voltage transmission lines, which is different from embodiment 1 in that on the basis of embodiment 1, the clamping jaw 2 is flexibly and stably connected with the insulating frame 1 through the universal hinge device 5. This design allows the clamping jaw 2 to adapt to complex spatial torsion during the galloping of the high-voltage transmission line, effectively preventing damage caused by excessive torsion or improper stress.
[0040] The universal hinge device 5 includes a connecting ball head 5-1 and a connecting ball seat 5-2 installed between the clamping jaw 2 and the insulating frame 1. The connecting ball head 5-1 and the connecting ball seat 5-2 achieve precise universal connection, allowing the clamping jaw 2 to move freely in multiple directions while maintaining stable connection with the insulating frame 1. This design not only improves the flexibility of the system, but also enhances its response capability to different vibration modes.
[0041] To limit the random swing between the connecting ball head 5-1 and the connecting ball seat 5-2, a reset spring 5-3 is sleeved between the two. Through the pushing effect, the reset spring 5-3 can keep the connecting ball head 5-1 and the connecting ball seat 5-2 in a relatively stable position without external force. Specifically, when the external vibration disappears, the reset spring 5-3 will automatically return the connecting ball head 5-1 to the initial position, thereby avoiding the wear or fatigue damage caused by long-term random motion.
[0042] In addition, the connecting ball head 5-1 is provided with a limiting boss 5-4 corresponding to one end of the connecting ball seat 5-2, which is used to limit the movement of the reset spring 5-3 along the radial direction of the connecting ball head 5-1. The design of the limiting boss 5-4 ensures that the reset spring 5-3 is always in the correct working position and will not be offset or fall off due to external factors, further ensuring the reliability and safety of the whole.
[0043] Through the above-mentioned design of the universal hinge device 5, not only can it flexibly cope with various challenges brought by the high-voltage transmission line galloping, but also can effectively protect the jaw 2 from damage, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power transmission system, and providing a more reliable solution for high-voltage transmission lines.
[0044] Embodiment 3, in combination with the accompanying drawings Figure 1 、 2 and 5, a spacer for high-voltage transmission lines, based on embodiment 1 or 2, the universal hinge device 5 is connected to the insulating frame 1 through the adjusting rod 6. This design allows the relative position between the jaw 2 and the insulating frame 1 to be adjusted flexibly according to the specific spacing between the split conductors in the high-voltage transmission line, thereby significantly improving the application range in different application scenarios.
[0045] Specifically, the insulating frame 1 is provided with a socket that matches the adjusting rod 6, ensuring that the two can be connected stably. The adjusting rod 6 has a plurality of positioning holes 7 evenly distributed on its shaft, and the design of these positioning holes allows the operator to choose the most suitable installation position according to actual needs. At the same time, on the side of the insulating frame 1 corresponding to the socket, a limiting pin 8 is equipped, which can precisely dock with any one of the positioning holes 7 on the adjusting rod 6 to limit the movement range of the adjusting rod 6, ensuring that it remains stable and immobile in the working state.
[0046] Through such a design, not only is the precise control of the position of the jaw 2 achieved, but also the adaptability and reliability of the whole are enhanced. When facing different high-voltage transmission line configurations, the operator only needs to simply adjust the position of the adjusting rod 6 and lock it with the limiting pin 8, which can quickly complete the installation or reconfiguration without the need for complex tools or professional skills. This convenient adjustment method provides great convenience for on-site construction, and also ensures that the insulating frame 1 can effectively function under various conditions.
[0047] The present application is not limited to the details of the foregoing exemplary embodiments and can be practiced with modification and alteration within the scope and spirit of the present application. Accordingly, the specification is to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive.
