[0001] The utility model relates to a catenary, in particular to a catenary insulation gap regulator. Background Art
[0002] In the catenary of ordinary-speed railways, the sag of the overhead contact wire in the common tunnel may be affected by seasonal temperature changes or other factors, resulting in insufficient insulation gaps, which may cause tripping and wire breakage or electrical burns to the wire. In addition, the lead wire of the device type phase separation switching device is affected by temperature changes or wind swing factors, resulting in insufficient insulation distance, which may cause tripping and wire breakage and affect the power supply of the catenary. At present, on-site adjustment often only involves adding or adjusting the position of the catenary wire clamp to adjust the wire sag. This method has poor flexibility and cannot eliminate the potential safety hazards of tripping, wire breakage or wire burns caused by insufficient insulation gaps due to the stretching of the wire or the vibration of the pantograph in the later stage.

[0018] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] AsFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , an embodiment of the utility model provides a catenary insulation gap adjuster, which includes a male branch terminal clamp 1, a female branch terminal clamp 2, an adjuster body 3 and an anti-slip pin 4. The adjuster body 3 is integrally in an O shape, and its upper and lower ends are nut structures, each threadedly connected to a screw rod 6, and the two screw rods 6 have opposite thread rotation directions. The end of the screw rod 6 located outside the adjuster body 3 is in a U shape, the female branch terminal clamp 2 is in a U shape, and the female branch terminal clamp 2 is connected to the outer end of the screw rod 6 through a fastening bolt 7. The anti-slip pin 4 is inserted between the fastening bolt 7 and the catenary / lead wire to prevent the insulation gap adjuster from sliding. The male branch terminal clamp 1 is in a U shape and has two opposite clamps adapted to the dovetail groove of the contact wire. The male branch terminal clamp 1 is fixed on the contact wire by using the clamps and is connected to the outer end of the screw rod 6 through a fastening bolt 7. In addition, an open pin socket 5 is provided at the end of the screw rod 6 located inside the adjuster body 3 for inserting an open pin to prevent the screw rod 6 from detaching from the adjuster body 3.
[0022] In this embodiment, the adjustable length range of the insulation gap of the insulation gap adjuster is 450 - 750 mm. The materials of the male branch terminal clamp 1, the female branch terminal clamp 2, the adjuster body 3, and the screw rod 6 are CuNi2Si, the material of the anti-slip pin 4 is T2, and the material of the fastening bolt 7 is stainless steel.
[0023] The insulation gap adjuster has two structural forms. When male and female branch terminal clamps are respectively arranged at both ends, it is a male-female structure, as shown in Figure 1 ; when female branch terminal clamps are arranged at both ends, it is a female-female structure, as shown in Figure 2 . Figure 1 shown; when female branch terminal clamps are arranged at both ends, it is a female-female structure, as shown in Figure 2 shown.
[0024] For the male-female structure insulation gap adjuster, the sliding load between the male branch end and the contact wire is greater than or equal to 1.0 kN, and the sliding load between the female branch end and the catenary is greater than or equal to 1.0 kN. For the female-female structure insulation gap adjuster, the sliding load between the female branch end and the catenary is greater than or equal to 1.0 kN. The breaking load of the insulation gap adjuster is not less than 3 kN, and the maximum vertical working load of the insulation gap adjuster is 1.3 kN.
[0025] The male-female structure insulation gap adjuster is suitable for adjusting the insufficient gap between the lead wire and the mid-anchor insulator at the position of the mid-anchor crossing bridge in the tunnel of the catenary system of electrified railways at normal speed. The insulation gap of the tunnel mid-anchor crossing bridge is adjusted by connecting the male branch end to the contact wire and the female branch end to the mid-anchor crossing bridge lead wire or the catenary. After connecting the relevant objects, fix the male and female branch end bolts (25 N.m), turn the adjuster body 3 to adjust the insulation gap of the object with insufficient insulation. After confirming the adjustment length, insert the anti-slip pin 4 to complete the adjustment.
[0026] The mother-mother structure insulation gap regulator is applicable to adjusting the positions with insufficient gaps between the lead wire and the mid-anchor insulator in the mid-anchor overbridge in the tunnel of the conventional catenary system of electrified railways, as well as the positions with insufficient insulation distance of the lead wire of the device-type phase separation section disconnector. The adjustment of the insulation gap of the mid-anchor overbridge in the tunnel is achieved by connecting the mid-anchor overbridge lead wire or the catenary through the two end mother branches. The insulation gap adjustment is achieved by connecting the lead wire of the section disconnector and the feeder. Specifically, the mother-mother structure insulation gap regulator connects the lead wire or the catenary through one end mother branch, and connects the catenary or the lead wire through the other end mother branch. After connecting the relevant objects, fix the bolts of the two mother branches (25 N.m), turn the regulator body 3 to adjust the insulation gap of the object with insufficient insulation. After confirming the adjustment length, insert the anti-slip pin 4 to complete the adjustment.
[0027] The schematic installation diagram of using the insulation gap regulator for the electric connection of the mid-anchor overbridge in the tunnel is as Figure 3 shown. The current schematic diagram of the section disconnector of the conventional railway is as Figure 4 shown. The existing lead wires of the device-type phase separation section disconnectors often have insufficient distance from the insulator due to seasonal temperature changes or wind swing, resulting in the risk of tripping or wire breakage. The schematic installation diagram of using the insulation gap regulator is as Figure 5 shown.
[0028] The insulation gap regulator provided by the present utility model utilizes the two end wire clips to be installed at the positions where the insulation distance needs to be adjusted, ensures a sufficient insulation distance (450 mm to 750 mm) for the energized part of the catenary by adjusting its own length, can change the orientation angle of the installed lead wire (0° to 180°), and enables physical isolation of the positions that need to adjust electrical insulation. After installation, it ensures the normal operation of the mid-anchor overbridge and the section disconnector of the catenary tunnel.
