Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of power transmission line warning and protection equipment, specifically to a conductor light warning device with a flip-top locking protective cover and its live installation method. Background Technology

[0002] The overhead power transmission and distribution lines laid throughout urban and rural areas have effectively ensured a stable power supply. However, the large-scale installation of these lines has also had a serious negative impact on the habitat of wild birds, and is a major cause of abnormal bird deaths. According to industry surveys, a large number of birds die globally each year due to collisions with or electrocution from power transmission lines. Bird accidents involving power lines are mainly divided into two categories: electrocution and collision. Electrocution occurs when birds of prey, while perching or crossing power lines, easily cross two phases of overhead lines or connect overhead lines to tower structures. Additionally, damp, conductive branches inside nests can easily come into contact with live conductors, easily causing short circuits and resulting in electrocution. Collision occurs when birds have poor visibility during their migrations at dawn, dusk, and night, making it difficult for them to accurately identify thin overhead conductors and lightning rods. At high speeds, they are highly susceptible to colliding with power lines. Furthermore, distracting behaviors such as courtship battles and territorial patrols further increase the probability of collisions.

[0003] In addition, in the operation and maintenance of high-voltage transmission lines and distribution lines, exposed conductors are constantly exposed to the elements, making pedestrians and vehicles highly susceptible to accidental contact with or collisions due to visual negligence. Furthermore, the visibility of high-altitude lines is low, and the warning effect is poor at night and in rainy or foggy weather, posing a significant safety hazard. Currently, most conductor warning devices on the market are fixed structures, cumbersome to install, unable to achieve rapid installation while energized, and have a limited range of compatible conductor diameters.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing warning devices lack adaptive clamping and automatic locking structures, making them susceptible to loosening and detachment due to wind and line vibration after installation. The wire wrapping is poorly sealed, resulting in insufficient protective stability. Furthermore, most of them lack self-powered flashing warning functions, leading to poor all-weather warning effects and failing to meet the current needs of safe operation and maintenance of transmission lines. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the numerous technical deficiencies in existing overhead line warning and protection equipment by providing a conductor light warning device with a flip-top locking protective cover and its live installation method.

[0006] This invention optimizes the overall structural layout, integrates an adaptive clamping structure, a linkage flip-locking structure, and a solar-powered flashing warning structure. It can effectively achieve core functions such as rapid lateral installation with power on, adaptive wire clamping, automatic locking to prevent detachment during installation, and all-weather active light warning, thereby significantly improving the safety of line operation and maintenance, equipment compatibility, and ecological protection.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: This invention discloses a wire light warning device with a flip-type locking protective cover, comprising an insulating cover, an internally mounted flashing warning light assembly, a wire receiving channel for threading a wire, and a wire insertion slot on the side wall of the insulating cover connected to the wire receiving channel, allowing the wire to be laterally inserted into the wire receiving channel via the insertion slot. A clamping mechanism that can slide longitudinally along the wire receiving channel is provided within the wire receiving channel. A flip-type locking device is connected to the insulating cover. When the wire is laterally inserted into the wire receiving channel via the insertion slot, it pushes the clamping mechanism towards the bottom of the wire receiving channel and triggers the flip-type locking device to seal the insertion slot, preventing the wire from detaching. After the flip-type locking device seals the insertion slot, the clamping mechanism can move towards the flip-type locking device to clamp the wire.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a slider, the bottom of which is connected to the top of a pagoda spring, and the bottom of the pagoda spring is fitted to the bottom of the wire receiving channel; a baffle is provided on the opening edge of the wire inlay slot, the baffle being used to restrict the slider from being pushed out of the wire inlay slot by the pagoda spring.

[0009] Preferably, the insulating cover is equipped with a left end cover and a right end cover at its left and right ends respectively; the left end cover and the right end cover are respectively provided with end cover grooves with openings; the end cover grooves are connected to the wire receiving channel, and the opening direction of the end cover grooves is consistent with the opening direction of the wire embedding groove.

[0010] Preferably, the flip-type locking mechanism includes a symmetrically arranged left side plate and a right side plate; the left side plate and the right side plate are rotatably connected to the left end cover and the right end cover, respectively; (the left side plate and the right side plate are rotatably connected to the left end cover and the right end cover, respectively, in an eccentric manner); a cover plate is connected between the left side plate and the right side plate, and the cover plate can cover the wire-inserting groove; the left side plate and the right side plate are respectively provided with irregularly shaped grooves with openings; when the wire enters the wire-receiving channel laterally and squeezes the slider to move towards the bottom of the wire-receiving channel, the slider can squeeze the lower edge of the irregularly shaped groove, thereby driving the left side plate and the right side plate to rotate clockwise synchronously; the upper edge of the irregularly shaped groove can block the end cover groove as it rotates, and the cover plate covers the wire-inserting groove, thereby preventing the wire from leaving the wire-receiving channel.

[0011] Preferably, the left and right side plates are provided with a locking mechanism; the locking mechanism includes a receiving cavity provided on the left and right side plates, and an elastic element and a pin driven by the elastic element are assembled in the receiving cavity; the left and right end caps are respectively provided with through holes, and the pin can be driven by the elastic element to abut against the outer end face of the left and right end caps, preventing the left and right side plates from rotating when there is no external force pressing the lower edge of the irregular groove; when the upper edge of the irregular groove covers the end cap groove and the cover plate seals the wire embedding groove, the pin can extend into the corresponding through hole to fix the position of the left and right side plates. At this time, the wire is stably wrapped and locked inside the wire receiving channel.

[0012] Preferably, the irregular groove includes a U-shaped groove, the upper edge of which is recessed inward to form a first semicircular groove; the upper surface of the slider is recessed to provide a second semicircular groove; the first and second semicircular grooves can cooperate to clamp the wire, and the first semicircular groove can hook the wire and constrain the wire from coming out of the U-shaped groove.

[0013] Preferably, the warning light assembly includes a flashlight, a rechargeable battery, a solar panel, and a control board; the flashlight is electrically connected to the control board, the solar panel is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, and the light from the flashlight can be emitted outward through an insulating cover to achieve the warning.

[0014] Preferably, after the slider is pressed down by the wire, the left and right side plates rotate clockwise to the locked position. Then, the pressure of the wire on the slider is removed, and the pagoda spring can drive the slider to reset, so that the second semicircular groove on the slider and the first semicircular groove on the U-shaped groove cooperate to clamp the wire.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the wire receiving channel is provided with a slot; the pagoda spring can slide into the slot from one end opening of the wire receiving channel, and the pagoda spring can be adjusted in position along the slot; the pagoda spring can be compressed within the slot. Therefore, the slider can be made to fit snugly against the bottom of the wire receiving channel, allowing the pagoda spring to provide more movement space for the slider. When encountering a larger diameter wire, the slider fits snugly against the bottom of the wire receiving channel and engages with the upper edge of the U-shaped groove to clamp the wire.

[0016] The present invention discloses a live installation method for a wire light warning device with a flip-type locking protective cover, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Use a linker to hold the insulating cover and deliver it below the wire to be installed; Step S2: Align the opening of the irregular groove with the wire to be installed above, move the insulating cover upwards so that the wire enters the wire receiving channel laterally, and move the wire squeezing slider towards the bottom of the wire receiving channel; Step S3: The slider moves downward to contact and press the lower edge of the irregular groove, causing the left and right side plates to rotate clockwise. The cover plate rotates and seals the inlay groove. At the same time, the pin of the clamping mechanism extends into the through hole under the action of the elastic element, locking the position of the left and right side plates. Step S4: Remove the link bar, the pagoda spring drives the slider to reset, and the second semicircular groove of the slider and the first semicircular groove of the U-shaped groove cooperate to clamp the wire, completing the live installation of the device.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The present invention features a lateral wiring structure, which enables live lateral assembly without the need to disassemble the wires. Combined with a flip-type automatic locking structure, the wiring process automatically triggers the cover plate to seal and the plate to lock, making installation convenient and work efficiency high, and suitable for high-altitude live work scenarios. The sliding clamping mechanism, combined with the double semi-circular groove alignment and clamping structure, can adaptively fit the outer wall of the wire, providing strong clamping stability. At the same time, the pagoda spring is adjustable in position to accommodate wires of different diameters, making it highly versatile. The flexible pin clamping mechanism can achieve mechanical self-locking of the flip plate, preventing the device from loosening and flipping due to external vibration or wind, eliminating the risk of wire falling off, and ensuring high protection reliability. The integrated solar-powered flashing warning structure can be self-powered and provide all-weather flashing warnings, improving line visibility and effectively avoiding accidental collisions with people and vehicles, thus enhancing safety.

[0018] The clamping mechanism of this invention has two interchangeable implementation structures: an automatic locking structure with elastic pins or a mechanical locking structure with lever 17. The structure is highly selectable and adaptable to different processing, assembly and usage conditions, making the product more widely applicable. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention.

[0034] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] Technical solution / principle: Existing traditional warning devices have rigid structures and cumbersome overall installation, making them unsuitable for high-altitude live-line work scenarios and difficult to assemble quickly without power interruption. They also generally lack self-adaptive clamping structures and automatic mechanical interlocking structures, making them prone to loosening, shifting, or even falling off after installation due to line vibration and outdoor wind disturbances. Furthermore, the sealing of the wire wrapping and clamping stability are poor. In addition, traditional equipment has a narrow wire compatibility range, unable to accommodate different wire diameters, resulting in weak versatility. Most also lack self-powered operation and all-weather flashing warning capabilities, relying solely on passive visual cues, which have extremely low visibility at night, in rain or fog, and during dawn and dusk migration periods. This fails to effectively prevent accidental electric shock accidents to humans and animals, and also fails to reduce the ecological damage caused by bird strikes and electrocution deaths.

[0036] Example 1: This invention discloses a conductor light warning device with a protective cover flip-lock, which mainly consists of an insulating cover 1, a clamping mechanism, a flip-lock 4, a locking mechanism, and a warning light assembly. The whole device adopts an insulating protective structure and is suitable for live installation and protection of high-voltage transmission lines.

[0037] The insulating cover 1 is an integral insulating protective substrate, with an integrated flashing warning light assembly inside. The warning light assembly consists of a flashing light, a rechargeable battery, a solar panel, and a control board. The solar panel can autonomously collect light energy to charge the rechargeable battery, and the control board controls the flashing light to flash intermittently. The flashing light can penetrate the insulating cover 1 and diffuse outwards, achieving all-weather line warning during the day and night, and greatly improving the visibility of high-altitude conductors.

[0038] The insulating cover 1 has a wire receiving channel 11 through the middle, which is a wire assembly and accommodating area. The insulating cover 1 has a wire embedding slot 12 on the side, which is completely connected to the wire receiving channel 11. During operation, the wire can be laterally embedded into the wire receiving channel 11 through the wire embedding slot 12, which abandons the traditional end-threading installation method and meets the requirements of live rapid assembly.

[0039] The wire receiving channel 11 is equipped with a clamping mechanism that can slide up and down longitudinally along the wire receiving channel 11. The clamping mechanism consists of a slider 2 and a pagoda spring 3. The bottom end of the pagoda spring 3 is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the wire receiving channel 11, and the top end of the pagoda spring 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slider 2. A baffle 13 is integrally provided on the edge of the opening of the wire embedding slot 12. The baffle 13 is located on the movement path above the slider 2 and can effectively limit the maximum ejection stroke of the slider 2, preventing the slider 2 from falling out of the wire embedding slot 12 under the elastic force of the pagoda spring 3, thus ensuring the stability of the structure during operation.

[0040] The left end cover 9 and the right end cover 10 are fixedly assembled at the left and right ends of the insulating cover 1, respectively. The left end cover 9 and the right end cover 10 are symmetrically arranged. Both the left end cover 9 and the right end cover 10 have end cover grooves 15 with openings. The end cover grooves 15 are connected to the wire receiving channel 11, and the opening direction of the end cover groove 15 is consistent with the opening direction of the wire embedding groove 12, ensuring that there is no structural obstruction when the wire is inserted laterally. At the same time, it can be used with the locking structure to achieve all-round wrapping protection.

[0041] A flip-type locking mechanism 4 is installed on top of the insulating cover 1. The flip-type locking mechanism 4 is an automatic sealing and locking structure, including a symmetrically arranged left side plate 5 and a right side plate 6. The left side plate 5 and the right side plate 6 are respectively mounted on the outside of the left end cover 9 and the right end cover 10 by eccentric rotation, ensuring that the plate can achieve eccentric displacement during the rotation of the plate body, and completing the automatic sealing and locking action. A cover plate 7 is fixedly connected between the left side plate 5 and the right side plate 6. The cover plate 7 spans across the wire embedding slot 12 and can completely cover the wire embedding slot 12 with the rotation of the plate body, realizing the closed protection of the wire embedding slot 12 and preventing the wire from coming out laterally.

[0042] Both the left side plate 5 and the right side plate 6 have upward-facing irregularly shaped grooves 8. The irregularly shaped grooves 8 are U-shaped, and the opening edges of the grooves 8 can be cut with beveled edges to facilitate the insertion of wires. The upper end of the U-shaped groove is recessed inward to form a first semi-circular groove 82, and the upper end of the slider 2 is correspondingly recessed to form a second semi-circular groove 81. When the wire is laterally embedded into the wire receiving channel 11, the outer wall of the wire presses the slider 2 downward. During the downward movement of the slider 2, it presses the lower edge of the irregularly shaped groove 8, thereby driving the left side plate 5 and the right side plate 6 to rotate clockwise synchronously. During the rotation of the plates, the upper edge of the irregularly shaped groove 8 gradually covers the end cap groove 15, and at the same time, the cover plate 7 rotates synchronously to close the wire insertion groove 12, limiting the wire from both the side and the end, and completely preventing the wire from leaving the wire receiving channel 11. At the same time, the first semi-circular groove 82 can hook and limit the wire, further restricting the wire from leaving the U-shaped groove range and improving assembly stability.

[0043] Both the left side plate 5 and the right side plate 6 are equipped with locking mechanisms on their inner sides. The locking mechanisms include receiving cavities 16 formed on the plate body. Elastic elements and ejector pins are assembled inside the receiving cavities 16. The ejector pins are continuously pushed by the elastic elements and are normally pressed against the outer end faces of the left end cover 9 and the right end cover 10, which can prevent the plate body from rotating accidentally when there is no external pressure. The left end cover 9 and the right end cover 10 are respectively provided with through holes 14. When the plate body rotates clockwise to the locking position, the ejector pins are precisely aligned with the through holes 14 and extend into the through holes 14 under the drive of the elastic elements, realizing the mechanical locking and fixation of the left side plate 5 and the right side plate 6. After locking, the plate body cannot rotate freely, ensuring that the cover plate 7 continuously seals the wire embedding slot 12. The wire is completely wrapped and locked inside the wire receiving channel 11, preventing the problem of loosening and falling off.

[0044] The bottom of the wire receiving channel 11 has a slot. The bottom end of the pagoda spring 3 can slide into the slot through the end opening of the wire receiving channel 11, and its assembly position can be adjusted laterally along the slot to adapt to different installation conditions. The pagoda spring 3 can be compressed and stored inside the slot, allowing the slider 2 to fit the bottom of the wire receiving channel 11 to the maximum extent, effectively increasing the longitudinal movement stroke of the slider 2. For installation scenarios with large-diameter wires, after the slider 2 sinks down to fit the bottom, it can work together with the first semi-circular groove 82 at the upper end of the U-shaped groove to clamp the wire, greatly improving the wire diameter adaptability range of the device. To improve the movement stability of the slider 2 and provide greater elasticity, it is preferable to use two pagoda springs 3.

[0045] In actual operation, this invention can achieve long-distance live-line installation through the matching link bar. The top of the link bar can be equipped with an elastic clamping structure. During operation, the elastic clamping force of the elastic clamping plate is used to firmly clamp the outer wall of the insulating cover 1, thereby achieving rapid docking and fixing of the link bar and the insulating cover 1. This application does not limit the specific connection structure between the link bar and the insulating cover 1. Any connection method that can achieve high-altitude long-distance clamping, precise delivery, and rapid separation after the operation is completed is within the protection scope of this invention.

[0046] The specific live-line installation process of the device is as follows: First, the worker holds a link bar on the ground and uses the elastic clip at the top of the link bar to clamp the outer wall of the insulating cover 1. The elastic pre-tightening force of the elastic clip achieves a stable clamping, ensuring that the insulating cover 1 will not shift or fall off during transportation, thus completing the docking and assembly of the tool and the equipment. Then, the insulating cover 1, which is clamped and fixed, is smoothly transported to a position directly below the conductor to be installed at high altitude using the link bar, thus completing the equipment positioning. Next, the angle of the link bar is finely adjusted so that the openings of the irregular grooves 8 on the left side plate 5 and the right side plate 6 are precisely aligned with the conductor to be installed above. The link bar is continuously raised upward, causing the insulating cover 1 to move upward as a whole, so that the conductor is laterally embedded into the conductor receiving channel 11 through the wire insertion slot 12. The outer wall of the conductor continuously presses against the slider. 2. Push slider 2 to move longitudinally downward along wire receiving channel 11; during the downward movement of slider 2, continuously squeeze the lower edge of the irregular groove 8, and use mechanical transmission force to synchronously drive the left side plate 5 and right side plate 6 to rotate clockwise around the eccentric connection point. The cover plate 7 flips synchronously with the plate body, gradually sealing the wire embedding groove 12; when the plate body rotates to the locking position, the pins inside the clamping mechanism on the left side plate 5 and right side plate 6 are automatically inserted into the corresponding through holes 14 of the left end cover 9 and right end cover 10 under the drive of the elastic element, realizing the mechanical self-locking fixation of the left side plate 5 and right side plate 6. At this time, the upper edge of the irregular groove 8 completely covers the end cover groove 15, the cover plate 7 completely closes the wire embedding groove 12, and the wire is fully wrapped and limited inside the wire receiving channel 11, completing the device locking and positioning.

[0047] After the device is locked, slowly pull the link bar downwards. Applying downward force can overcome the clamping friction between the elastic clip and the outer wall of the insulating cover 1, causing the elastic clip to automatically detach from the outer wall of the insulating cover 1, realizing the rapid separation of the link bar from the device and removing the work tool. After the tool is removed, the squeezing force of the wire on the slider 2 is completely released, and the compressed pagoda spring 3 releases its elastic potential energy, driving the slider 2 to move upwards along the wire receiving channel 11, so that the second semi-circular groove 81 on the upper end of the slider 2 and the first semi-circular groove 82 on the upper end of the U-shaped groove are precisely aligned and engaged, clamping the wire in both directions. At the same time, the first semi-circular groove 82 forms a hook limit on the wire, effectively preventing the wire from coming out, and finally completing the entire live contactless installation of the device. After installation, the device can autonomously collect solar energy through solar panels and recharge the batteries. In conjunction with the control board, it drives the flashlight to flash continuously and intermittently, providing all-weather warning and protection for power transmission lines. The overall structure is self-locking and stable, with strong wire adaptability, and it is convenient and efficient for high-altitude live-line operations. It can effectively avoid safety accidents such as electric shock to people, accidental collisions with vehicles, and electric shocks from bird strikes. It is suitable for use in various overhead power transmission and distribution line operation and maintenance protection scenarios.

[0048] Example 2: This example provides a locking mechanism with an alternative structure. The rest of the structure is completely the same as in Example 1. The difference is that the traditional combination locking structure of accommodating cavity, elastic element and pin is abandoned. A mechanical lever 17 locking structure is adopted. The structure is simpler, the assembly failure rate is lower, and the aging resistance is stronger. It is suitable for long-term outdoor use in harsh working conditions.

[0049] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism includes a lever 17 disposed on the outer side of the left and right side plates. The left and right side plates are rotatably connected to the left and right end caps, respectively, forming a rotating part. One end of the lever 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating part, and the other end of the lever 17 is configured with a bent structure. The bent end passes through the left and right side plates and abuts against the outer wall of the left and right end caps. Under normal conditions, the lever 17 itself presses against the outer wall of the end cap, thereby achieving damping and limiting of plate rotation and preventing the left and right side plates from rotating arbitrarily or loosening and shifting without external force.

[0050] During the live installation of the device, the wire is laterally embedded into the wire receiving channel and squeezes the slider downward. The slider squeezes the lower edge of the irregular groove, driving the left and right side plates to rotate clockwise synchronously. The cover plate rotates synchronously with the plate body and gradually covers and seals the wire embedding groove. At the same time as the left and right side plates rotate to the fully locked position and the cover plate completely seals the wire embedding groove, the bent end of the lever 17 is precisely aligned and inserted into the through hole on the left and right end covers. The position of the left and right side plates is locked and fixed by the mechanical insertion limit of the lever 17.

[0051] This embodiment employs a mechanical locking structure with lever 17, eliminating the need for built-in elastic components and ejector pins. Automatic locking is achieved through purely mechanical linkage, resulting in fewer structural parts, enhanced resistance to weathering, and prevention of issues such as elastic component fatigue failure or ejector pin jamming. The locking action is synchronized with the plate's rotation, requiring no additional operation and ensuring high reliability. After locking, the plate angle is completely fixed, the cover plate continuously seals the wire insertion slot, and the wire is stably encased and secured within the wire receiving channel, effectively preventing wire detachment. This further enhances overall assembly stability and outdoor adaptability.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
