TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power cable installation equipment, in particular to an angle-adjustable cable power tower cross arm. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the core bearing component of the power tower, the cross arm plays a key role in supporting the cable and ensuring the safety distance of the line, and its structural rationality directly affects the stability and adaptability of the power transmission system. In actual power transmission line erection, due to the influence of topographic conditions, line direction and environmental restrictions, such as mountainous areas, sloping land, corners, branches and other situations, the posture requirements of the cross arm show diversified characteristics, and the reasonable arrangement of the cable needs to be achieved through the installation of different angles.
[0003] However, the existing power tower cross arm generally has the problem of structural solidification: most cross arms are designed with integrated rigidity, and the posture is fixed after leaving the factory, only a single angle of cable support can be achieved, and the inclination angle cannot be adjusted according to the construction requirements on site. If complex terrain or special line arrangement requirements are encountered, special cross arms need to be customized for different angles, which not only prolongs the construction preparation period, but also significantly increases the equipment procurement cost and inventory management cost.
[0004] Therefore, the present application provides an angle-adjustable cable power tower cross arm. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide an angle-adjustable cable power tower cross arm to solve the problems raised in the background.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: an angle-adjustable cable power tower cross arm, comprising a support device and a cross arm device. The support device comprises a mounting panel, a support arm and an adjusting mechanism, and the cross arm device is installed on the support device. The adjusting mechanism is provided on the support device, and the relative position of the cross arm device and the support device is changed by using the adjusting mechanism, so that the cross arm device realizes multi-posture adjustment such as parallel, inclined support and vertical.
[0007] One end of the support arm is fixed to the upper part of the front side of the mounting panel, the other end extends outward, the end of the support arm away from the mounting panel is provided with a load-bearing hinge seat, a through slot is formed in the middle of the support arm, and the adjusting mechanism is located in the through slot.
[0008] The adjusting mechanism comprises a bottom rod and a telescopic rod, the telescopic rod is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the bottom rod, and the bottom rod is rotatably arranged at the lower part of the front side of the mounting panel.
[0009] The main body of the cross arm device is a lightweight frame, and the outer side is provided with a modular flat panel and a cover plate, and the top of the cross arm device is provided with a cable clamp.
[0010] Preferably, the mounting panel is a rectangular panel with mounting bolts at the four corners. The mounting panel is attached to the tower arm of the transmission tower and fixed with mounting bolts.
[0011] Preferably, dovetail bolts are screwed onto the base rod, and screw holes are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod extends and retracts within the inner cavity of the base rod, and is then locked and fixed using dovetail bolts.
[0012] The top of the telescopic rod is installed at the bottom of the crossarm device, and the tilt angle of the crossarm device can be adjusted by changing the length of the telescopic rod of the adjustment mechanism.
[0013] Preferably, two load-bearing hinge heads are provided at the bottom center of the crossarm device. One load-bearing hinge head is rotatably installed at the load-bearing hinge seat, and the other load-bearing hinge head is rotatably installed at the top of the telescopic rod, so as to realize the movable connection between the adjustment mechanism and the crossarm device.
[0014] A support plate is installed on the side of the top of the support arm away from the load-bearing hinge seat. The top surface of the support plate contacts the bottom of the crossarm device, and the support plate serves as a balance support point when the crossarm device is in a parallel posture.
[0015] Preferably, the main body of the crossarm device is a U-shaped frame, with flat plates installed on both the upper and lower sides of the frame, and cable clamps evenly installed on the top surface of the upper flat plate.

[0017] Preferably, cover plates are fixed on the front and rear sides of the frame to effectively prevent rainwater erosion. Limit heads are provided at both ends of the frame, and the limit heads are covered with insulating rubber heads.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0019] This solution features multi-position adjustment capabilities and strong adaptability. Through a telescopic adjustment mechanism and a double-hinge connection structure, the crossarm device achieves multi-position switching: using the load-bearing hinge seat as the rotation fulcrum, by changing the extension length of the telescopic rod, the crossarm device can be adjusted to switch between various positions such as parallel, diagonal, and vertical, adapting to the diverse needs of complex terrain and route alignment. Compared to traditional fixed crossarms, no custom-made special components are required, significantly improving the equipment's versatility.
[0020] The adjustment operation is convenient and efficient, reducing construction difficulty. The adjustment mechanism adopts a design that uses dovetail bolts and evenly distributed screw holes. The extension and retraction of the telescopic rod can be adjusted simply by loosening the bolts, and the bolts can be tightened after positioning to complete the fixation. The whole process does not require special tools and is suitable for high-altitude operation scenarios.
[0021] The flat panel adopts a modular design with bolted connections, and lightweight materials such as special plastics and acrylic sheets can be selected according to requirements. Combined with the U-shaped frame, it reduces the weight by 30%-40% compared to traditional all-metal crossarms, thus reducing the load on the transmission tower. At the same time, the standardized adjustment mechanism and diversified material selection reduce customization costs and inventory pressure, combining economic benefits with environmental value.

[0029] Traditional crossarms have a single structure and can only hold the cable in one position. If the position of the crossarm needs to be changed, it needs to be customized separately, which is very troublesome and inconvenient and increases the cost of use. This solution solves this problem. Through its own adjustment structure, the crossarm device 2 can be adjusted to multiple positions to meet the diverse installation needs of transmission tower cables.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 An adjustable-angle crossarm for a cable transmission tower includes a support device 1 and a crossarm device 2. The support device 1 includes a mounting panel 1-1, a support arm 1-3, and an adjustment mechanism. The mounting panel 1-1 is a rectangular panel with mounting bolts 1-2 at its four corners. The mounting panel 1-1 is attached to the tower arm of the transmission tower and fixed by screwing with the mounting bolts 1-2.
[0031] The crossbeam device 2 is mounted on the support device 1. The support device 1 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is used to change the relative position of the crossbeam device 2 and the support device 1, so that the crossbeam device 2 can achieve multi-position adjustment such as parallel, oblique, and vertical.
[0032] One end of the support arm 1-3 is fixed to the upper front side of the mounting panel 1-1, and the other end extends outward. The end of the support arm 1-3 away from the mounting panel 1-1 is provided with a load-bearing hinge seat 1-4. A through groove is opened in the middle of the support arm 1-3, and the adjustment mechanism is located in the through groove.
[0033] The adjustment mechanism includes a base rod 1-5 and a telescopic rod 1-6. The telescopic rod 1-6 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the base rod 1-5, and the bottom of the base rod 1-5 is rotatably positioned on the lower front side of the mounting panel 1-1.
[0034] Dovetail bolts 1-7 are screwed onto the base rod 1-5. Screw holes are evenly opened on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 1-6. The telescopic rod 1-6 is adjusted in position within the inner cavity of the base rod 1-5, and then locked and fixed by screwing the dovetail bolts 1-7 into the corresponding screw holes.
[0035] The top of the telescopic rod 1-6 is installed at the bottom of the crossarm device 2. The tilt angle of the crossarm device 2 can be adjusted by changing the length of the telescopic rod 1-6 of the adjustment mechanism, which is convenient and efficient.
[0036] Two load-bearing hinge heads 1-8 are provided at the bottom center of the crossarm device 2. One load-bearing hinge head 1-8 is rotatably installed at the load-bearing hinge seat 1-4, and the other load-bearing hinge head 1-8 is rotatably installed at the top of the telescopic rod 1-6, so as to realize the movable connection between the adjustment mechanism and the crossarm device 2.
[0037] A support plate 1-9 is provided on the side of the top of the support arm 1-3 away from the load-bearing hinge seat 1-4. The top surface of the support plate 1-9 contacts the bottom of the crossarm device 2. When the crossarm device 2 is in a parallel posture, the support plate 1-9 serves as the balance support point of the crossarm device 2.
[0038] The main body of the crossarm device 2 is a U-shaped frame 2-1. Flat plates 2-2 are installed on both the upper and lower sides of the frame 2-1. Cable clamps 3 are evenly installed on the top surface of the upper flat plate 2-2.
[0039] The flat plate 2-2 is installed by bolts and can be made of special plastic, acrylic sheet or metal material, depending on actual needs, which facilitates the diversification of materials and, together with the frame 2-1, effectively reduces the overall weight of the crossbeam device 2.
[0040] Cover plates are fixed to the front and rear sides of frame 2-1 to effectively prevent rainwater erosion, allowing the main body of frame 2-1 to be used for a longer period of time. Limit heads 2-3 are provided at the left and right ends of frame 2-1, and the limit heads 2-3 are covered with insulating rubber heads.
[0041] Working principle:
[0042] Mounting panel 1-1 is screwed onto the tower arm of the transmission tower by mounting bolts 1-2 at the four corners, providing a stable mounting base for the entire crossarm. One end of the support arm 1-3 is fixed to the upper front side of the mounting panel 1-1, and the other end extends outward and is equipped with a load-bearing hinge seat 1-4 for supporting the crossarm device 2. At the same time, the through groove in the middle of the support arm 1-3 provides space for the adjustment mechanism.
[0043] The bottom of the adjusting mechanism's base rod 1-5 is rotatably connected to the lower front side of the mounting panel 1-1, and the telescopic rod 1-6 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the base rod 1-5. The operator can adjust the length of the telescopic rod 1-6 extending beyond the base rod 1-5 as needed. After adjustment, the dovetail bolt 1-7 is screwed into the corresponding screw hole on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 1-6 to lock the relative position of the telescopic rod 1-6 and the base rod 1-5, thus fixing the overall length of the adjusting mechanism.
[0044] The two load-bearing hinge heads 1-8 at the bottom center of the crossarm device 2 are rotatably connected to the load-bearing hinge seat 1-4 at the end of the support arm 1-3 and the top of the telescopic rod 1-6, forming a triangular linkage structure. When the telescopic rod 1-6 of the adjustment mechanism extends or retracts to change its length, it will push or pull the crossarm device 2 around the load-bearing hinge seat 1-4 with the rotating connection point as the fulcrum, thereby changing the relative angle between the crossarm device 2 and the support device 1, and realizing the switching of multiple postures such as parallel, oblique support and vertical.
[0045] When the crossarm device 2 is adjusted to a parallel position, the support plate 1-9 at the top of the support arm 1-3 will contact the bottom of the crossarm device 2, becoming the balance support point of the crossarm, enhancing the load-bearing stability of the crossarm in a parallel state, and avoiding angular deviation caused by the weight of the cable.
[0046] The main body of the crossarm device 2, the U-shaped frame 2-1, has flat plates 2-2 installed on its upper and lower sides. Cable clamps 3 on the top surface of the upper flat plate 2-2 are used to fix the cables. The cover plates on the front and rear sides of the frame 2-1 can prevent rainwater erosion and extend its service life. The limiting heads 2-3 at both ends are covered with insulating rubber heads, providing insulation protection. Meanwhile, the flat plates 2-2 are bolted and their material is optional, working in conjunction with the U-shaped frame 2-1 to achieve a lightweight design and reduce the load on the support device 1.
[0047] The entire device adjusts the length of the mechanism to drive the crossarm device 2 to rotate around the hinge connection point. Combined with the locking structure and auxiliary support, it achieves stable adjustment of the crossarm in multiple postures to meet the diverse installation needs of cables.
