Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric power equipment tools and particularly relates to a terminal locking device for a maintenance grounding wire. Background Art
[0002] Installing grounding wires is one of the technical measures to ensure safe power work. It is an important task to be completed when working on electrical equipment during a total or partial power outage. It is a reliable safety measure to protect maintenance personnel at the workplace by eliminating residual pressure and induced electricity from equipment and preventing the risk of electric shock caused by sudden power outages. It is the "lifeline" to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel.
[0003] If the grounding wire is not installed securely, is loose, or falls off, the induced voltage generated by the proximity to the live body may endanger the safety of the equipment and may even pose a threat to the lives of maintenance personnel. In special operation sites with complex maintenance intersections and dense personnel traffic, people may accidentally touch it, causing the connection between the end of the maintenance grounding wire and the conductor to loosen or even fall off, the grounding wire spring to fail, and the grounding wire to be removed without the authorization of the operating personnel, etc., creating the risk of electric shock.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0023] See attached Figures 1 to 3 A grounding wire terminal locking device for maintenance, wherein the first locking portion is composed of two locking iron plates 1, which fix the connection between the grounding wire terminal and the conductor from two mutually symmetrical directions. A first through hole 2 is provided on the locking iron plate 1, and the number of the first through holes 2 is an even number, preferably four, which are evenly distributed around it. The adjustment portion includes a threaded rod 3 and a locking ring 4. The threaded rod 3 matches the number of first through holes 2 on the locking iron plate 1, preferably four. The threaded rod 3 passes through the first through holes 2 on the locking iron plate 1 and connects the two locking steel plates into one. The locking ring 4 is provided with two second through holes 5 in the radial direction. The center line of the two second through holes 5 passes through the center of the locking ring 4. One of the second through holes 5 is provided with an internal thread that cooperates with the threaded rod 3. The second through hole 5 of the locking ring 4 is passed through the threaded rod 3. The threaded rod 3 is provided with a locking ring 4 on both sides. Through the cooperation of the second through holes 5 on the two locking rings 4 and the threaded rod 3, the two locking iron plates 1 gradually approach each other as the locking rings 4 rotate on the threaded rod 3 until they are fixed to the connection between the grounding wire end and the conductor. The two locking iron plates 1 fix the grounding wire end and the conductor, and lock them together through the cooperation of the locking ring 4 and the threaded rod 3. The locking iron plates 1, the locking rings 4 and the threaded rod 3 are all independent parts, which can be well fixed even in some places with complex intersections during maintenance operations.
[0024] When securing the ground wire end and the conductor, the four locking rings 4 on the outside of any locking plate 1 are adjusted so that two adjacent locking rings are on the same horizontal plane, i.e., axially parallel to each other. The remaining two locking rings 4 are similarly adjusted to be on the same horizontal plane. After the adjustment is complete, a second locking portion, namely a padlock 8, or what is known in the industry as a dedicated operation lock, is inserted through the through-holes 6 of the two co-planar locking rings 4 and locked. This arrangement prevents unauthorized personnel from arbitrarily rotating the locking rings 4, which could cause the two locking plates to move away from each other, loosening the connection between the ground wire end and the conductor, or even causing it to fall off.
[0025] Furthermore, two third through holes 7 are provided in another radial direction of the locking ring 4. The center line of the two third through holes 7 passes through the center of the locking ring 4 and is perpendicular to the center line of the two second through holes 5. That is, a through hole is provided at every ninety-degree interval on the locking ring 4. With this structural arrangement, after the two locking iron plates 1 are fixed to the grounding wire end and the conductor, and the position of the locking ring 4 is adjusted, that is, the two adjacent locking rings 4 are located in the same horizontal plane, and the other two locking rings 4 on the same side are also located in the same horizontal plane, the third through holes 7 of the two locking rings 4 located in the same horizontal plane are now in a straight line. Then, the padlock 8 is passed through the third through holes 7 on the two locking rings 4, respectively, and the two third through holes 7 that are closest to each other. This also achieves locking of the locking ring 4, preventing other unauthorized persons from privately rotating the locking ring 4, thereby causing the two locking iron plates to move away from each other, causing the connection between the grounding wire end and the conductor to become loose or even fall off.
[0026] Further, one of the threaded holes of the third through hole 7 is provided with an internal thread that matches the threaded rod 3, which can make it more convenient for the operator, that is, there is no need to first find the first through hole 2 with an internal thread and then align it with the threaded rod 3. If all through holes are provided with internal threads, any through hole can be aligned with the threaded rod 3, which makes the operation faster.
[0027] The four first through holes 2 are evenly arranged around the locking iron plate 1 and away from the center of the locking iron plate 1, which can ensure that the locking is more stable and is not prone to misalignment or the two locking iron plates 1 being non-parallel, resulting in insufficient fixation of the grounding wire end and the conductor.
