[0028] Working Principle: This device is installed at various connection points of power lines to monitor and alarm for overheating at line connections in real time. The temperature at the conductor monitoring point in the power line is set to T. When temperature T is within the normal operating range T0 (20℃~30℃), the elastic modulus E0 keeps the spring compressed, preventing the indicator 203 from popping out. When temperature T rises above the set warning temperature threshold T1 (85℃), the elastic modulus E0 of the memory spring 31 changes, causing the spring to return to its original shape and pop out the indicator 203.

No more than The wiring device uses arc-shaped gaskets and is fixed by high-pressure crimping with bolts. Warning displays for different temperature ranges: Mild high temperature warning: When the joint temperature reaches 85-95℃, the shape memory alloy spring will partially recover its deformation and output driving force. satisfy: in This is the equivalent stiffness of the transmission system. This is half the length of the indicator pop-out corresponding to the first stage displacement. When the temperature exceeds 95-105℃, the spring completes a full phase change and outputs maximum driving force. : in For shape memory alloys, the recovery stress is ≥300 MPa. The red indicator section is clearly visible, representing the effective cross-sectional area of ​​the spring, enabling a high-level alarm. Inspectors can visually identify the hot spot, indicating that the line connection point has experienced a certain degree of temperature abnormality, but it has not yet reached a serious level.

[0030] Severe heatwave warning: When the temperature Further increase, exceeding When within the specified range, the indicator light fully pops up, i.e., the pop-up length. The more prominent red warning sign reminds inspection personnel that the temperature of the hot spot is already very high and needs to be addressed immediately to prevent the line fault from worsening.

[0031] When the temperature at the connection point of the line decreases, the indicator plate will not retract due to the special material properties and structural design of the memory spring. This is to ensure that inspection personnel can clearly see the hot spots that have occurred during subsequent inspections, which facilitates the recording and analysis of fault history, allows for the early resolution of potential fault points, and effectively shortens the total time for power outage maintenance.

When within a range, the length of the indicator pop-up. Total length of the indicator plate of When the temperature Exceeding When the temperature reaches the specified range, all indicator plates pop out, causing them to extend beyond the outer wall of the high-temperature warning block.

The following conditions must be met: at temperature Within normal working range At that time, elastic modulus The spring is compressed to prevent the indicator from popping out; when the temperature T rises above the set warning temperature threshold... At that time, the elastic modulus of the memory spring The change occurs, and the change satisfies the formula ,in The constant value of the spring material ensures that the spring returns to its original shape, ejecting the indicator plate, and that the indicator plate does not retract when the temperature decreases.

No more than It can work reliably and ensure the stability of power transmission.

Where K is the tightening torque coefficient, and its value range is... ; This is the preload of the bolt, and its value is determined based on the specifications of the clamp and the conductor.

Not less than To ensure no electromagnetic loss; the material's resistance to salt spray corrosion time Not less than 1000 hours, and subjected to oxidation environment After a 500-hour oxidation test, the thickness of the surface oxide layer should not exceed 0.01 mm to achieve corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.

[0037] Visual high-temperature early warning wiring devices are distributed and installed at various connection points of power lines to monitor and alarm for overheating at line connections in real time. When a high-temperature fault occurs at a line connection, it can quickly assist maintenance personnel in locating the fault point.

[0038] The simplified design of the visual high-temperature warning wiring device requires no additional testing instruments. It can alert to high temperatures at wire connections simply by visually observing the pop-up status of the indicator. Maintenance personnel can then determine the timing of the fault based on the indicator's status. No more than 5 minutes.

[0039] By using a visual high-temperature early warning wiring device, the inspection time during faults is shortened. Compared with traditional inspection methods, the inspection time is reduced by a significant percentage. satisfy This reduces the workload of maintenance personnel, minimizes losses caused by power outages, and improves the stability of the power grid system, thus reducing power outage time caused by faults in the power grid system. Compared to when the system is not used, it reduces above.

[0040] Inspection personnel can visually monitor the indicator light status of the high-temperature warning wiring device to identify overheated areas in advance, resolve fault points, and reduce the total time spent on power outage maintenance. Compared with traditional maintenance methods, it shortens maintenance time by more than 40%, improves power supply reliability, and achieves a power supply reliability rate R of over 99.9%.

[0041] Working principle of the visual high-temperature warning wiring device and system: The visual high-temperature warning wiring device mainly consists of wire clamps, wire connection parts, a visual high-temperature warning block, and a built-in memory spring. The wire clamps are used for reliable connection with the wires, and operate normally. During normal power transmission, the current in the line flows stably within the rated current range, and the temperature at the line connection points remains within the normal operating range. At this point, the elastic modulus of the memory spring... In a relatively stable state, the spring is compressed under appropriate preload, keeping the indicator plate in a non-pop-out position. The entire device is in normal monitoring mode and does not issue any warning signals.

[0042] When the contact resistance at a line connection point increases due to installation or construction quality issues, or when there are fluctuations in the power system load or short-term overloads, the temperature at the connection point gradually rises. When the temperature T rises above the set warning temperature threshold... At that time, the elastic modulus of a memory spring changes as the temperature increases. According to the formula... in These are constants related to the properties of the spring material. The spring force changes due to variations in the elastic modulus, which is the average value within the normal operating temperature range. When the spring force reaches a certain level, it returns to its original shape, causing the visual high-temperature warning block to pop out.

[0043] When the temperature at the connection point of the line decreases, the indicator plate will not retract due to the special material properties and structural design of the memory spring. This is to ensure that inspection personnel can clearly see the hot spots that have occurred during subsequent inspections, which facilitates the recording and analysis of fault history, allows for the early resolution of potential fault points, and effectively shortens the total time for power outage maintenance.

[0044] During system operation, each visual high-temperature warning wiring device independently monitors the temperature of its installed wiring connection point. The wiring device itself does not require additional testing instruments or complex data acquisition equipment; it relies solely on the mechanical movement of memory springs and indicator plates to reflect temperature changes.

[0045] When a high-temperature fault occurs at a line connection point, the indicator light of the corresponding visual high-temperature warning wiring device pops up, forming a clear visual warning signal. This visual alarm method does not require a complex signal transmission and processing system. During inspections, personnel can quickly obtain abnormal temperature information at line connection points and determine the location of overheated areas by directly observing the status of the indicator lights on each wiring device.

[0046] Based on the fault location information provided by the inspection personnel, maintenance personnel quickly arrived at the site to handle the fault. After repairing the fault, a new visual high-temperature early warning wiring device was installed, restoring the system to normal monitoring status and continuing real-time monitoring of all connection points of the power line to ensure the stability and reliability of power transmission.

[0047] Because the visual high-temperature early warning wiring device can directly and intuitively display overheated areas, maintenance personnel can determine the fault point within 5 minutes based on the status of the indicator plate. Compared with traditional inspection methods, the inspection time is reduced by more than 50%, improving the efficiency of fault diagnosis. There is no need to use complex testing instruments for point-by-point testing; maintenance personnel can complete the inspection of a large number of line connection points simply by visual inspection, reducing labor intensity.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of the present invention.
