Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0021] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, an insulating cap for a low-voltage line for live working comprises an insulating cap 1 with an opening at one end, a circular insulating sleeve 2 is fitted inside the insulating cap 1, an anti-loosening clip 3 is arranged at the open end of the insulating cap 1, and the anti-loosening clip 3 is connected to the insulating cap 1 by a fixing buckle 4; wherein, the insulating sleeve 2 is provided with a plurality of groups of annular structures of different diameters from small to large from the bottom end to the open end of the insulating cap 1, and the annular sleeves of different diameters of the insulating sleeve 2 are connected by a smooth curve; the anti-loosening clip 3 comprises an anti-loosening half clip 1 31 and an anti-loosening half clip 2 32, and both the anti-loosening half clip 1 31 and the anti-loosening half clip 2 32 are provided with meshing teeth 33 for meshing connection between the two;
[0022] When replacing the electric meter, the wiring harness and the electric meter are disassembled and assembled, and the exposed wire ends can be insulated by putting on the insulating cap 1. In addition, in order to make the contact between the wire ends inserted into the insulating cap 1 more compact and prevent the wire ends from falling off from the insulating cap 1 when being pulled, after the wire ends are inserted into the insulating cap 1, the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 is engaged with the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 through the meshing teeth 33, and the space between the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 and the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 is gradually tightened until the anti-loosening clamp 3 can be clamped on the outer insulating skin of the wire speed, and then the anti-loosening clamp 3 is pushed toward one side of the insulating cap 1 along the guide pin 37 until the hook 41 of the anti-loosening clamp 3 is buckled on the clamping plate 42 for connection, so that the connection between the wiring harness and the insulating cap 1 is tighter to prevent falling off;
[0023] In addition, the insulating sleeve 2 adopts annular sleeves of various diameters, so that one insulating cap 1 can meet the use needs of wire harnesses with different diameters and improve the flexibility of use. For example, the wire harness with the annular sleeve of the smallest diameter can be inserted into the bottom of the insulating cap 1, and the wire harness with the annular sleeve of the largest diameter can be inserted into the position of the largest annular sleeve of the insulating sleeve 2. However, no matter where the wire end is inserted into the annular sleeve, the exposed wire end can be fully wrapped to play an insulating role.
[0024] The insulating cap 1 is made of polyvinyl chloride, and the insulating sleeve 2 is made of rubber;
[0025] The insulating cap 1 is the external structure of the entire device and is made of polyvinyl chloride. On the one hand, it can play an insulating role, and on the other hand, it can play a supporting role. It can prevent the internal space from deforming and facilitate the insertion of the wiring harness. The insulating sleeve 2 is made of rubber material. On the one hand, it improves the insulation effect, and on the other hand, it can increase the friction with the wiring harness and reduce the problem of the wiring harness falling off.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a rubber liner 34 is provided on the inner arc surface of the anti-loosening half clamp 1, a rubber liner 35 is provided on the inner arc surface of the anti-loosening half clamp 2, a pin hole 36 is penetrated on the anti-loosening half clamp 1, a guide pin 37 is inserted in the pin hole 36, the lower end of the guide pin 37 is fixedly connected to the edge of the opening end of the insulating cap 1, and ejector pins 38 are inserted on both sides of the anti-loosening half clamp 1. The fixing buckle 4 includes a hook 41 fixedly installed on the outer bottom end of the anti-loosening half clamp 1 and a card plate 42 provided at the outer edge of the opening end of the insulating cap 1, and a clamping structure is formed between the hook 41 and the card plate 42;
[0027] A liner 1 34 and a liner 2 35 are respectively fitted on the inner arc surface of the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 and the inner arc surface of the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32, and are made of rubber material. On the one hand, when the wire harness is clamped, the friction with the outer insulation skin of the wire harness can be increased, making it easier to clamp the wire harness. On the other hand, the wire harness can be protected to prevent it from being clamped. When facing wire harnesses of different diameters, the tightness of the closure between the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 and the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 can be adjusted until the wire harness is clamped. After the wire harness is clamped, the anti-loosening clamp 3 is put on the guide pin 37 through the pin hole 36, and the anti-loosening clamp 3 clamping the wire harness is moved along the guide pin 37. The insulating cap 1 is pushed on one side to buckle the hook 41 on the anti-loosening clip 3 on the clamping plate 42 of the insulating cap 1, so that the anti-loosening clip 3 and the insulating cap 1 become a whole. The anti-loosening clip 3 is used to clamp the wiring harness to prevent it from falling off the insulating cap 1. When the insulating cap 1 needs to be removed from the wire head, the ejector pins 38 on both sides of the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 can be pressed, and the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 can be pushed by the ejector pins 38, so that the meshing teeth 33 between the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 and the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 are disengaged from each other, and then the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 is untied from the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31, and then the wiring harness can be pulled out of the insulating cap 1, and the insulating cap 1 can be reused in this way.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the insulating cap 1 is also provided with a connecting pin 5, and the connecting pin 5 includes a pin seat 51 and a pin column 52 respectively installed on both sides of the outer wall of the insulating cap 1, and a snap-fit structure is formed between the pin seat 51 and the pin column 52;
[0029] The connection pin 5 can be used to connect multiple insulating caps 1 together. During assembly, the pin 52 on one insulating cap 1 can be snapped onto the pin seat 51 of another insulating cap 1 for connection and assembly.
[0030] A strong magnet 6 is also installed on the outside of the insulating cap 1. When the distribution box is made of iron or other materials that can be adsorbed by magnets, the insulating cap 1 can be directly adsorbed on the distribution box to avoid the wire ends from curling up and affecting the operation.
[0031] Working principle: when replacing the electric meter, the wiring harness and the electric meter are disassembled and assembled, and the exposed wire ends can be insulated by putting on the insulating cap 1. In addition, in order to make the contact between the wire ends inserted into the insulating cap 1 tighter and prevent the wire ends from falling off from the insulating cap 1 when pulling the wire ends, after the wire ends are inserted into the insulating cap 1, the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 is engaged with the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 through the engaging teeth 33, and the space between the anti-loosening half clamp 1 31 and the anti-loosening half clamp 2 32 is gradually tightened until the anti-loosening clamp 3 can be clamped on the outer insulating skin of the wire speed, and then the anti-loosening clamp 3 is pushed to one side of the insulating cap 1 along the guide pin 37 until the hook 41 of the anti-loosening clamp 3 is buckled on the card plate 42 for connection, so that the connection between the wiring harness and the insulating cap 1 is tighter to prevent falling off.
