Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of angle iron connectors, and particularly to an electrically driven rigid spacer for a two - split conductor on a high - voltage transmission line. Background Art
[0002] A split conductor refers to a conductor erection method adopted for high - voltage or extra - high - voltage transmission lines to suppress corona discharge and reduce line reactance. That is, each phase conductor consists of several smaller - diameter sub - conductors, and the groups of sub - conductors are spaced at a certain distance. A two - split conductor refers to a split conductor composed of two sub - conductors, which is usually applied to transmission lines with a voltage level of 220 kV.
[0003] Since the two sub - conductors of a two - split conductor are very close to each other, they often vibrate under the influence of wind. Under special meteorological conditions and topographical features, the conductor will have rare large - amplitude jumps, commonly known as galloping, which can cause conductor short - circuiting, air insulation breakdown, and in severe cases, damage to line insulators, fittings, cross - arms or tower components. Therefore, a spacer must be used to separate the sub - conductors of a two - split conductor to suppress the mutual galloping between the sub - conductors.
[0004] Traditional spacers mostly adopt mechanical locking or manual adjustment methods, which require manual high - altitude operations to install on the two - split conductor. Manual high - altitude operations have great safety hazards and require power outage operations, which have a large impact. Even without manual high - altitude operations, robots are needed for installation. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN119050895A discloses a two - split spacer installation robot and its on - line method on November 29, 2024, which uses a special robot for installation, and when installing, a drone is also needed to hoist the robot onto the two - split conductor. Whether these installation methods are manned or robotic, they all require power outage operations, resulting in a relatively large impact. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a two - split spacer that can perform unmanned high - altitude operations and install without power outage. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides an electrically driven rigid spacer for a two - split conductor. This spacer can clamp or release the sub - conductors through electric drive, with simple operation, high efficiency, and stable and reliable structure.

[0013] In some embodiments, a cushion block is arranged in the hook bending groove and the fork bending groove. The cushion block is made of a polymer material, and the cushion block has a cable groove.
[0014] In some embodiments, the transmission pair is one or a combination of a worm and worm gear pair, a gear pair, a screw pair, and a sliding pair.
[0015] In some embodiments, the motor is a reduction motor or a corner motor with a reduction gear head.
[0016] In some embodiments, a motor protective cover is covered on the motor. The motor protective cover is made of metal and covers all of the motor and its output shaft.
[0017] In some embodiments, a magnetic attraction power supply connector is arranged on the motor protective cover, and the magnetic attraction power supply connector is electrically connected.
