[0027] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-5 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figure 1 、 2 5, a copper busbar installation device in a narrow space, which is entirely located in the operating space 3 between the truss 2 and the wall 1, and includes:
[0029] a grid 9, which is detachably fixed to the truss 2 and the wall 1 and is located at a predetermined height within the operating space 3;
[0030] The tire frame 5 is detachably mounted on the grid frame 9;
[0031] An electric hoist 6 for lifting the copper busbar 4 is detachably mounted on the frame 5 and is connected to a lifting rope 7. The lower end of the lifting rope 7 is connected to a clamping claw 8 for clamping the copper busbar 4. The electric hoist 6 is used to retract the lifting rope 7 upward, thereby lifting the copper busbar 4 to the predetermined installation location;
[0032] The controller 12 is in a safe position, and the operator can control the process of lifting the copper busbar 4 through the controller 12 in a safe position. The electric hoist 6 is controlled by the controller 12 and can be connected in a wired or wireless manner.
[0033] Among them, such as Figure 3 、 4 As shown, the tire frame 5 includes an upper support body 5a and a plurality of legs 5b supporting and fixedly connected to the upper support body 5a. The electric hoist 6 is installed on the upper support body 5a, and the legs 5b are detachably fixedly connected to the grid 9.
[0034] In order to optimize the setting scheme, the upper support body 5a is set as a mesh plate, and the suspension rope 7 is movable through the mesh of the upper support body 5a and also through the mesh of the grid 9.
[0035] In order to enhance the structural strength of the tire frame 5, the legs 5b are provided with reinforcing rods 5c, both ends of which are fixedly connected to the lower side of the upper support body 5a and the legs 5b, respectively, and the reinforcing rods 5c obliquely support the upper support body 5a.
[0036] The tire frame 5 is mainly made of square tubes. The square tubes have high strength and stability and can bear the weight of the electric hoist 6 and the copper busbar 4. When selecting the specifications of the square tubes, the weight of the copper busbar 4 and the requirements of the installation environment were fully considered to ensure that the square tubes can provide sufficient support. The installation location of the tire frame 5 is selected on the grid 9 in the industrial plant. During the installation process, special connection methods such as welding and bolting are adopted to ensure that the connection between the tire frame 5 and the grid 9 is firm and reliable. At the same time, in order to avoid damage to the grid 9, protective measures such as buffer pads or reinforcement plates are also set at the connection points.
[0037] The shape and size of the cradle 5 are designed based on actual installation requirements. Generally speaking, the length and width of the cradle 5 should accommodate the installation and operating space of the electric hoist 6, while also taking into account the size and weight of the copper busbar 4. The height of the cradle 5 is adjusted based on the height difference between the grid 9 and the electrode position, ensuring that the jaws 8 of the electric hoist 6 can smoothly extend downward to lift the copper busbar 4.
[0038] The clamping jaws 8 are configured as automatic clamping jaws, which may be electric clamping jaws or hydraulic clamping jaws (or other types of automatic clamping jaws), and are controlled by the controller 12 , so that the clamping action of the clamping jaws 8 can be remotely controlled in a safe location.
[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping surface of the clamping jaw 8 is fixedly mounted with a non-slip rubber pad 8a to ensure that the edge of the copper busbar 4 (square) can be firmly clamped. Moreover, since the non-slip rubber pad 8a is made of flexible material, it can prevent the copper busbar 4 from being damaged during the clamping process.
[0040] In addition, in order to adapt to square copper busbars 4 of different sizes, the width of the clamping jaws 8 can be adjusted to improve the versatility of the clamping jaws 8.
[0041] As one of the options, Figure 5 As shown, a camera 11 and a force sensor 10 (optional depending on the specific situation) are mounted on the clamping jaw 8. The camera 11 and force sensor 10 monitor the position and weight of the copper busbar 4 in real time. The camera 11 and force sensor 10 then upload the monitoring data to a controller 12. The controller 12 can be a handheld controller with a control panel to improve the accuracy and safety of the lifting operation. The controller 12 is a remote control system that allows operators to operate from a safe location, further reducing operational risks. The structure of the tire frame 5 can be optimized by adding diagonal braces or adopting new quick-connect connectors, such as snap-on or magnetic connections. These connection methods are simple and fast to operate, making the tire frame more lightweight while maintaining stability and facilitating installation and removal.
[0042] When lifting the copper busbar 4, follow the steps below:
[0043] Preparation of copper busbar: Move the square copper busbar 4 to be installed to the vicinity of the hoisting position and check to ensure that the copper busbar 4 is not damaged or deformed.
[0044] Operating the electric hoist 6: The operator activates the electric hoist 6 via the controller 12, driving the jaws 8 down to the position of the copper busbar 4. The operator then adjusts the position of the jaws 8 so that they can securely grip the copper busbar 4. After confirming that the jaws 8 are firmly clamped, the operator slowly raises the electric hoist 6 and hoists the copper busbar 4 to the desired location.
[0045] Installing the copper busbar 4: After hoisting the copper busbar 4 to the electrode location (on the wall 1, below the grid 9), the operator installs the copper busbar 4. After installation, the electric hoist 6 is slowly lowered and the clamping jaws 8 are released, completing the hoisting and installation process of the copper busbar 4.
