Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to geophysical electrical prospecting technical field, concretely relates to a kind of electrical prospecting instrument cable and electrode connection protection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Resistivity method is one of the commonly used detection methods in present engineering geophysical prospecting, which can effectively serve engineering geological survey, goaf detection and other underground space detection work. The mainstream high-density electrical prospecting instrument at present is mainly distributed instrument, and its structure is that system host is connected with multi-core cable connected with multiple electrodes. In order to facilitate the connection of electrodes, the multi-core cable generally has multiple connection modules, and the remaining positions are waterproof and dustproof. This connection module can be connected with the wire on the polarized electrode or the non-polarized electrode. But in order to facilitate work, the part connected with the electrode in the connection module is open metal (mostly copper alloy or iron alloy).
[0003] And resistivity method working environment is often accompanied by high humidity, high salt and other conditions, which can easily rust the exposed part of the connection module and the electrode extension line connected therewith. This not only limits the power supply current, but also affects the electrode connection, thereby affecting the detection depth and observation results. During acquisition, the connection module is usually placed on the ground, and the insulation condition is poor, which leads to the increase of error in the observation system. In today's increasingly complex electromagnetic noise, the identification difficulty of electrical anomaly increases. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model aims at the deficiency of prior art, and provides a kind of electrical prospecting instrument cable and electrode connection protection device, under the premise of not changing original cable and electrode, increase the protection device of cable interface and electrode, facilitate actual operation, prolong the service life of cable, stabilize observation system, reduce observation system error.
[0005] The utility model is realized by the following technical schemes:
[0006] A kind of electrical prospecting instrument cable and electrode connection protection device, characterized by: including waterproof shell, the waterproof shell includes two shell bodies of half type assembly, spring connecting structure is arranged between two shell bodies, the spring connecting structure can control the opening or closure between two shell bodies, two shell bodies are respectively fixedly provided with metal tab, two shell bodies are buckled by being provided with buckle structure.
[0007] The waterproof shell material can be rubber, polyethylene or other insulating waterproof materials.
[0008] The inner wall of the waterproof shell is attached with a metal film, such as copper or iron. The metal film is in communication with the metal tab, improving the connectivity between the electrode and the cable and expanding the application scenarios of the connection device.
[0009] The joints between the shells can be a straight joint, a broken line structure or a stepped joint to meet the waterproof performance and various design requirements.
[0010] The spring connection structure is passed through by the rotating shaft, and its main purpose is to connect and clamp the waterproof housing for easy use.
[0011] An anti-slip module is provided on the outside of the handle portion of the spring connection structure, which further facilitates use.
[0012] The shape of the metal contact matches the connector on the cable to ensure stable contact. The metal contact is made of a conductive metal such as copper or silver. Considering the relative softness of pure metal contacts, a strong, retaining material such as polyethylene can be used to wrap the metal contact, or a high-strength, highly conductive alloy can be used as the metal contact material. To further ensure a stable connection, the spring connecting the contact to the housing is also made of a conductive metal and connects the contact to the spring.
[0013] The clip structure can be integrally formed with the housing using the same material. However, considering factors such as mold opening during production, the clip can also be made of a pre-made elastic pipe clip, with no special material requirements.
[0014] Advantages of this utility model:
[0015] 1) This connection device does not require cable modification. By adding a waterproof insulating shell at the connection between the electrode and the cable, the connection between the electrode and the cable can be ensured and stabilized when the observation environment changes (such as rain or snow).
[0016] 2) The device is not limited to the type of collection electrodes and can be applied to polarized or non-polarized electrodes at the same time, with strong scalability.
[0017] 3) The device can be recycled and reused and is easy to disassemble. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
