[0023] Move the movable seat along the wire. The part of the insulation sheath gradually passing through the rear of the movable seat will gradually self-roll.

These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed implementation manners

[0039] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation manners described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation manners consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] In the related art, an insulating sheath is often used to protect the exposed wire, as Figure 1 shown. The insulating sheath includes a sheath body 10, which is made of an elastic insulating material and has a cross - section in a curled structure to form an outer edge side 11 located outside the insulating sheath and an inner edge side 12 located inside the insulating sheath; during installation, after the staff gradually manually wraps the insulating sheath around the wire, the inner edge side 12 is turned outwards and the inner edge side 12 is pressed against the outer surface of the outer edge side 11.

[0041] However, when protecting the wire in the above - mentioned manner, it is necessary to manually turn out the inner edge side 12 of each part along the length direction of the insulating sheath in sequence, so that the construction efficiency of installing the insulating sheath is low and the operation difficulty is great.

[0042] Accordingly, the embodiments of the present application provide an installation tool and an installation method. The installation tool includes: a moving seat configured to move along the extension direction of a wire; the moving seat has an installation channel that extends around the wire, and the installation channel is open at both ends in the moving direction of the moving seat. The installation channel is used to thread an insulating sheath so that the outer edge side and the inner edge side of the insulating sheath are distributed on both sides of the wire; a restricting member disposed at the end of the moving seat along the moving direction, the restricting member is used to support on the inner side of the inner edge side, so that after the moving seat moves relative to the wire and the insulating sheath, the outer edge side and the inner edge side are successively wound towards the wire; a glue storage cavity for filling sealant is formed on the moving seat, and the glue storage cavity is used to automatically apply the sealant to the inner surface of the inner edge side. Accordingly, during installation, only need to move the moving seat close to the wire, and at the same time unfold one end of the insulating sheath and insert it into the installation channel, so that the outer edge side and the inner edge side of this end of the insulating sheath are respectively located on both sides of the wire. Secondly, move the moving seat along the wire. During this period, the moving seat also moves relative to the insulating sheath. The part of the insulating sheath that gradually passes through the rear of the moving seat will gradually self-roll, so that the insulating sheath is wrapped around the wire. During the self-rolling process, under the action of the restricting member, for the inner edge side of the same part of the insulating sheath, the winding will lag behind the winding of the outer edge side, that is, the outer edge side and the inner edge side are successively wound towards the wire, so that the inner edge side can tightly abut against the outer surface of the outer edge side, thereby completing the installation of the insulating sheath, making the entire installation process more convenient, and solving the problems of low construction efficiency and large operation difficulty in protecting wires in the prior art; and, the sealant in the glue storage cavity will bond the outer edge side and the inner edge side to each other, thereby further increasing the stability of the installed insulating sheath.

[0043] The following uses specific embodiments to elaborate in detail on the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems. These specific embodiments below can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The following will describe the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings.

[0044] As Figure 2 shown, the embodiments of the present application provide an installation tool, including:

[0045] A moving seat 100 configured to move along the extension direction of a wire;

[0046] The moving seat 100 has an installation channel 200 that extends around the wire, and the installation channel 200 is open at both ends in the moving direction of the moving seat 100. The installation channel 200 is used to thread an insulating sheath so that the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 of the insulating sheath are distributed on both sides of the wire;

[0047] The limiting member 300 is arranged at the end of the moving seat 100 along the moving direction. The limiting member 300 is used to support the inner side of the inner edge side 12 so that after the moving seat 100 moves relative to the wire and the insulating sheath, the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 are successively wound towards the wire.

[0048] During installation, only need to move the moving seat 100 close to the wire, and at the same time unfold one end of the insulating sheath and insert it into the installation channel 200, so that the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 of this end of the insulating sheath are respectively located on both sides of the wire. Secondly, move the moving seat 100 along the wire. During this period, the moving seat 100 moves relative to the insulating sheath at the same time. The part of the insulating sheath that gradually passes through the rear of the moving seat 100 will gradually self-wind, so that the insulating sheath is wrapped around the wire.

[0049] During the self-winding process, under the action of the limiting member 300, for the winding of the inner edge side 12 of the same part of the insulating sheath, it will lag behind the winding of the outer edge side 11, that is, the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 are successively wound towards the wire, so that the inner edge side 12 can tightly abut against the outer surface of the outer edge side 11, thus completing the installation of the insulating sheath, making the whole installation process more convenient, and solving the problems of low construction efficiency and large operation difficulty in protecting the wire in the prior art; and, the sealant in the glue storage cavity 500 will bond the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 to each other, thereby further increasing the stability of the insulating sheath after installation.

[0050] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the moving seat 100 is provided with a receiving groove 110 for receiving the wire, and the installation channel 200 is wound around the receiving groove 110.

[0051] The installation channel 200 includes a first channel 210 and a second channel 220 that communicate with each other. The first channel 210 and the second channel 220 are located on opposite sides of the wire. The first channel 210 is used to receive the outer edge side 11, and the second channel 220 is used to receive the inner edge side 12.

[0052] Specifically, the receiving groove 110 is opened in the middle of the moving seat 100, and the upper end of the receiving groove 110 and both ends along the moving direction of the moving seat 100 are of open structures, so that when the moving seat 100 approaches the wire and moves relative to the wire, the wire can be located in the receiving groove 110, ensuring that the insulating sheath can be more stably wrapped around the wire.

[0053] The overall contour of the installation channel 200 is in a U-shaped structure and extends around the receiving groove 110. It can be understood that the installation channel 200 includes a first channel 210 and a second channel 220 that communicate with each other, and the first channel 210 and the second channel 220 are located on both sides of the receiving groove 110.

[0054] At this time, the limiting member 300 is disposed on the side of the receiving groove 110 facing the second channel 220.

[0055] When the insulating sheath is inserted into the installation channel 200, the outer edge side 11 will be located in the first channel 210, and the inner edge side 12 will be located in the second channel 220, so that the part of the insulating sheath corresponding to the moving seat 100 is in an unfolded state. And after the moving seat 100 approaches the wire, the wire will be located inside the insulating sheath. Finally, only need to pull the moving seat 100 and move it relative to the wire and the insulating sheath at the same time.

[0056] In some embodiments, the limiting member 300 includes a baffle, the baffle is connected to the moving seat 100, and the baffle is correspondingly disposed on the inner edge of the second channel 220.

[0057] In this embodiment, the baffle is integrally formed with the moving seat 100. Of course, the baffle can also be connected to the moving seat 100 by welding or other means. The baffle is located between the receiving groove 110 and the second channel 220, and the baffle extends towards the rear end of the moving seat 100.

[0058] During the installation process, for the part of the insulating sheath that passes through the rear of the moving seat 100, the baffle will limit the winding of the inner edge side 12, so that the outer edge side 11 is wound first, and the inner edge side 12 is wound later and pressed against the outer edge side 11, thereby completing the installation of the insulating sheath.

[0059] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, a glue storage cavity 500 for filling sealant is formed on the moving seat 100. The glue storage cavity 500 is communicated with the second channel 220, and the glue storage cavity 500 is located on the side wall of the second channel 220 opposite to the inner surface of the inner edge side 12.

[0060] Specifically, a glue storage cavity 500 is formed on the inner wall of the second channel 220 close to the receiving groove 110. The glue storage cavity 500 is used for filling sealant. One end of the glue storage cavity 500 facing the second channel 220 is of an open structure. The opening of the glue storage cavity 500 is covered with a cover plate 510. The cover plate 510 can be detachably connected to the moving seat 100 by pin connection, snap connection, screw connection or other means, so as to limit the sealant in the glue storage cavity 500 through the cover plate 510. One end of the cover plate 510 is arranged with a gap from the opening edge of the glue storage cavity 500, so that a glue outlet hole 520 is formed at this place; in addition, one end of the bottom surface of the glue storage cavity 500 facing the glue outlet hole 520 extends obliquely downward. Thus, it is convenient for the sealant in the glue storage cavity 500 to flow towards the glue outlet hole 520 in the natural state and be smeared on the inner surface of the inner edge side 12.

[0061] During construction, sealant or adhesive is pre-filled in the glue storage cavity 500, such as RTV sealant. When the moving seat 100 moves relative to the insulating sheath, the sealant in the glue storage cavity 500 will flow out from the glue outlet hole 520 and be self-applied on the inner surface of the inner edge side 12, so that when the inner edge side 12 presses against the outer edge side 11, the gap between the inner edge side 12 and the outer edge side 11 is also filled with sealant, thereby improving the connection stability between the inner edge side 12 and the outer edge side 11 and further improving the stability of the insulating sheath installed on the wire.

[0062] In other embodiments, bristles may also be provided at the glue outlet hole 520 to apply the sealant more evenly on the inner edge side 12 through the bristles. In addition, the glue storage cavity 500 may be provided at the rear end of the moving seat 100 along the moving direction.

[0063] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, an expansion head 400 is provided at the front end of the moving seat 100 along the moving direction, and an arc portion 410 is provided at one end of the expansion head 400 facing away from the moving seat 100;

[0064] The expansion head 400 is configured to gradually expand the part of the insulating sheath in front of the moving seat 100 when the moving seat 100 moves relative to the wire and the insulating sheath.

[0065] In this embodiment, the expansion head 400 is integrally formed with the moving seat 100, and the expansion head 400 extends at the front end of the moving seat 100 in the moving direction. At this time, the accommodation groove 110 penetrates through the expansion head 400 along the moving direction of the moving seat 100.

[0066] In addition, an arc portion 410 is provided at one end of the expansion head 400 facing away from the moving seat 100, so that one end of the expansion head 400 away from the moving seat 100 is a tip. In other embodiments, the expansion head 400 may also be connected to the moving seat 100 by welding, bonding or other means, and this is not limited.

[0067] When the moving seat 100 moves relative to the wire and the insulating sheath, the expansion head 400 will be inserted into the insulating sheath, and the process of gradually expanding the insulating sheath will be smoother through the guiding action of the arc portion 410, thereby improving the convenience of the insulating sheath penetrating into the installation channel 200.

[0068] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the moving seat 100 is provided with a traction portion 600 to control the movement of the moving seat 100 through the traction portion 600.

[0069] In this embodiment, the traction part 600 is a hook plate, which is connected to the moving seat 100 and is located at one end of the moving seat 100 away from the receiving groove 110. During construction, a traction rope, a traction cable or other traction members can be hooked on the hook plate, and then the moving seat 100 is pulled to move relative to the wire and the insulating sheath, so as to complete the installation of the insulating sheath.

[0070] In other embodiments, the traction part 600 can also be arranged at other positions on the moving seat 100, and the traction part 600 can also be set as a trolley that crawls along the wire. At this time, the trolley is connected to the moving seat 100, and there is no limitation on this.

[0071] In summary, for the installation tool provided by the embodiment of the present application, during installation, the moving seat 100 is close to the wire, and at the same time, one end of the insulating sheath is unfolded and inserted into the installation channel 200, so that the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 are respectively located on both sides of the wire. Secondly, the moving seat 100 is moved relative to the wire and the insulating sheath, and the insulating sheath gradually passes through the part behind the moving seat 100, and the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 are successively wound towards the wire, so that the insulating sheath is wrapped around the wire, solving the problems of low construction efficiency and great operation difficulty in protecting the wire in the prior art; at the same time, the inner edge side 12 will carry out the sealant in the glue storage cavity 500 and make the inner edge side 12 and the outer edge side 11 bond to each other, improving the stability of the insulating sheath after installation.

[0072] The embodiment of the present application also provides an installation method, which uses the installation tool described in any one of the above embodiments, and is characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0073] Unfold one end of the insulating sheath and insert it into the installation channel 200 on the moving seat 100 of the installation tool;

[0074] Move the moving seat 100 close to the wire, so that the outer edge side 11 and the inner edge side 12 of this end of the insulating sheath are respectively located on both sides of the wire;

[0075] Move the moving seat 100 along the wire, and the part where the insulating sheath gradually passes through the back of the moving seat 100 will gradually self-roll. Under the action of the limiting part 300 in the installation tool, the inner edge side 12 will lag behind the winding of the outer edge side 11, so that the inner edge side 12 can tightly abut against the outer surface of the outer edge side 11 to complete the installation of the insulating sheath.

[0076] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present invention after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. The present invention is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention, which follow the general principles of the present invention and include common general knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present invention. It is not limited to the exact structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present invention is only limited by the appended claims.
