[0027] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 4The utility model provides a temperature measuring fastener that improves the stability of the connection between a wire and a terminal, comprising a copper tube 10 and a temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve 20. The copper tube 10 comprises a copper tube body 11, a plurality of outer anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 12, a plurality of inner anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 13, and an outer convex edge 14. Each of the outer anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 12 is arranged on the upper part of the outer wall of the copper tube body 11, each of the inner anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 13 is arranged on the upper part of the inner wall of the copper tube body 11, and the outer convex edge 14 is arranged on the lower edge of the copper tube body 11. The upper part 201 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve is arranged on the lower part of the outer wall of the copper tube 10. In use, the stripped end of the wire is inserted into the copper tube 10 through the lower part 202 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve, and the stripped end of the wire, i.e. the core, is located at the position of the inner anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 13. Then, the upper part of the copper tube 10 is compressed with a wire crimping tool, the core of the wire and the inner anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 13 on the upper part of the copper tube 10 are tightly engaged, the fastening of the connection between the copper tube 10 and the wire is improved, the wire end that is crimped with the temperature measuring fastener of the utility model is inserted into the air switch terminal slot, and after the air switch terminal screw is locked, the outer anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 12 are tightly engaged with the terminal slot of the air switch, ensuring the fastening of the connection between the copper tube 10 and the terminal slot. The copper tube 10 with the outer anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 12 and the inner anti-escape horizontal stripe convex rings 13 arranged on the upper end is used as the fastener for the connection between the wire and the terminal or the terminal slot, so that the wire is tightly engaged with the terminal when the wire is installed, and the problem of easy loosening and falling of the wire is solved. The outer convex edge 14 has the following functions: 1. fixing the sleeve; 2. tightly connecting the upper part 201 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve with the copper tube body 11, so that the temperature of the core can be quickly detected, the color change is started preferentially, the lower part 202 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve is not in direct contact with the copper tube body 11, the lower part 202 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve is mainly heated through the heat conduction of the upper part 201 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve, and the lower part 202 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve has the feature of slow heating, so that different scenarios that cause the wire to heat up can be determined according to the colored range of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve 20. For example, if the entire sleeve is completely colored, it indicates that the wire is continuously heated, the heating problem is serious, and hidden dangers need to be carefully investigated. If only the upper part 201 of the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve is colored, it indicates that the short-time power is too large, and the user can be reminded. It should be noted that the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve 20 of the utility model is based on heat-conducting silica gel as a matrix, and after heating and melting, color-changing temperature indicating powder is added, then poured into a mold, and cooled to become the temperature-sensing color-changing insulating sleeve 20.

[0029] Key reference Figure 3Exemplarily, the height h of each of the outer anti-off transverse ridge convex ring 12 and the inner anti-off transverse ridge convex ring 13 is 0.1 mm. Each of the outer anti-off transverse ridge convex rings 12 is distributed at equal intervals, and the interval value d1 between two adjacent outer anti-off transverse ridge convex rings 12 ranges from 1 mm to 1.2 mm. Each of the inner anti-off transverse ridge convex rings 13 is distributed at equal intervals, and the interval value d2 between two adjacent inner anti-off transverse ridge convex rings 13 ranges from 1 mm to 1.2 mm. The slightly raised transverse ridges combined with the convex rings of certain density can neither affect the insertion of the wire into the copper pipe 10 nor the insertion of the copper pipe 10 into the terminal, but can improve the connection firmness and stability through the multi-ring compression, and enhance the anti-off effect.

[0030] Further, in order to improve the smoothness of the installation of the wire and the access to the terminal of the switch, the lower part of the outer surface of the inner anti-off transverse ridge convex ring 13 is a first guide surface 131, which is inclined upward, and the upper part of the outer surface of the outer anti-off transverse ridge convex ring 12 is a second guide surface 121, which is arranged in a downward inclined manner.

[0031] More preferably, the inner diameter of the copper pipe body 11 matches the diameter of the wire to be inserted. The outer convex edge 14 is a trumpet-shaped ring, and the upper part 201 of the temperature-sensitive color-changing insulation sleeve matches the lower part of the outer shape of the copper pipe 10. Through such design, the outer convex edge 14 not only can fix the temperature-sensitive color-changing insulation sleeve 20, but also can make the trumpet mouth just press against the wire insulation outer skin part, so as to avoid the close contact between the wire insulation outer skin and the copper pipe body 11, and prevent the copper pipe 10 from being pressed to the insulation skin to cause poor contact.

[0032] In order to record and save the high temperature situation that has occurred at the conductor wiring, so that the inspector can not only check the conductor heating hidden trouble that is occurring at the moment, but also find the historical overheating event that does not occur at the time of inspection, the temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve 20 is selected from an irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve made of temperature sensing irreversible color-changing material combined with heat-conducting silica gel. When the temperature of the copper pipe 10 reaches a relatively high temperature color-changing critical value, the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve begins to change color, and when the temperature of the copper pipe 10 is lower than the color-changing critical value, the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve still maintains the changed color and does not change color again. In the field of electric power, the general early warning temperature value is about 60°C, therefore, a high-temperature color-changing irreversible color-changing material can be selected, and such a material is a prior art, for example, the “50-200°C multi-color irreversible temperature indicating material and its preparation method and application” disclosed in the patent with the publication number CN110698953A discloses a preparation method of an irreversible temperature material above 50°C. More preferably, the base color of the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve is generally white, and when the temperature of the conductor core reaches the warning value, the upper part of the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve closely attached to the copper pipe 10 changes color first (the color change can be selected to be red or purple, etc.). If it is a short-time overheating, such as a short-time overload of the line, and then the power use returns to normal, then the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve only has partial color change and the color change is irreversible. Subsequent inspection personnel can observe the color-changing sleeve through the naked eye from a distance and find that the line may have a fault. Measures can be taken, including visiting customers, suggesting reasonable power use or recording the place as an important inspection point and paying close attention. When the temperature of the conductor core reaches the warning value and the line continues to be high temperature, the lower part of the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve that does not contact the copper pipe 10 will gradually change color until it is fully color-changed and will not change back to the original color as the temperature decreases. Different strategies can be adopted in this case, such as power outage for maintenance. Therefore, through the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve and the connection mode that the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve is only partially attached to the copper pipe 10, the inspector can observe the color-changing degree of the irreversible temperature sensing color-changing insulating sleeve through the naked eye, intuitively understand and judge that the line has once heated to the highest upper limit and the duration, and promptly check the fault hidden trouble, effectively ensure the stable operation of the power grid, and avoid equipment burning and even fire accidents.

[0033] More preferably, the inner pipe wall and the outer pipe wall of the copper pipe body 11 are both provided with a tinning layer 15. When the external access is an aluminum conductor, the surface tinning layer 15 of the copper pipe body 11 contacts the aluminum conductor, avoiding the electrochemical corrosion reaction caused by direct contact between copper and aluminum to cause switch heating and burning.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the temperature measuring fastener capable of improving the connection stability of the conductor and the terminal solves the problems of the conductor and the terminal of the air switch not being in firm contact and being easy to fall off, and the problem that when the line is connected with the aluminum conductor, the copper terminal of the air switch directly contacts with the copper terminal, which causes the copper-aluminum electrochemical reaction, and the long time corrosion and heating cause the switch to burn out and even cause fire accidents.

[0035] The utility model discloses simple structure, safe and reliable, adopt the way of copper pipe 10 tin plating and temperature sensing discoloration insulating sleeve 20 combination, specifically, first, through the inside and outside anti -drop horizontal line design of copper pipe body 11, makes the conductor installation with the terminal of switch tight occlusion, solves the conductor access easy to fall off problem, second, the surface of copper pipe 10 tin plating treatment, makes the occasion of using aluminum conductor avoid the copper-aluminum electrochemical corrosion problem, third, the upper portion 201 of temperature sensing discoloration insulating sleeve of copper pipe 10 is closely attached when the line heating to early warning temperature value, and temperature sensing discoloration insulating sleeve of copper pipe 10 starts to change color first, when temperature continues to rise or high temperature duration is longer, the temperature of the lower portion 202 of temperature sensing discoloration insulating sleeve not contacted copper pipe 10 gradually rises, gradually discolor, finally completely discolor, through the discoloration degree of irreversible temperature sensing discoloration insulating sleeve, can intuitively understand the temperature state of terminal, play the hint function, and irreversible temperature sensing discoloration insulating sleeve can record the state after discoloration, and convenient for the patrol personnel to find historical temperature rise event in time, obtain fault early warning information, promptly develop fault hidden danger investigation and management, ensure the stable operation of power system, guarantee the power supply quality, comprehensively improve the reliability of power grid operation.

[0036] The above is only the specific implementation of the utility model, and does not limit the patent range of the utility model, and any equivalent structural transformation of the utility model specification and the drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection range of the utility model.
