Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power line clip technology, specifically a U-shaped power line clip. Background Art
[0002] The connection of power grounding wires is a crucial safety device for power outage maintenance of power lines, circuit breakers, transformers, etc., in the power grid. The reliability of grounding wire connection significantly impacts the personal safety of maintenance personnel. Therefore, real-time detection and monitoring of the grounding wire connection status are of paramount importance. The key factor affecting the reliability of grounding wire connection is whether the contact resistance at the connection point between the clamp and the power line is zero. Only when the contact resistance is zero can it be considered a secure connection of the grounding wire; otherwise, the grounding wire clamp may be loosely connected or have poor contact with the power line, potentially causing equipment burnout and the formation of ground voltage, resulting in personal injury or death. In practice, because the power line contact points are often exposed to the elements, metal surface corrosion can occur, leading to poor contact between the power line contact points and the clamps (generating contact resistance). Furthermore, the operating head of the double-tongue clamp hook is a single hook and a single clamp. When it is attached to the power line that needs to be grounded, the connection is judged only by manual observation or monitoring of the contact position. People cannot know whether the clamp and the power line are in reliable contact, and therefore cannot know whether the grounding wire is reliably grounded. This poses a safety hazard to the maintenance of power lines and equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a U-shaped power line clip, which solves the problem that existing power line contact points are often exposed to the elements, causing metal surface corrosion and resulting in poor contact between the power line contact points and the clip (generating contact resistance). Furthermore, the double-tongue clip hook operating head uses a single hook and a single clip, meaning that when it is hung on a power line requiring grounding, the contact is only determined by manual observation or monitoring of the contact position. This makes it impossible to determine whether the clip is reliably in contact with the power line, and consequently, whether the grounding wire is reliably grounded, posing a safety hazard to the maintenance of power lines and equipment.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a U-shaped power line clamp, comprising a U-shaped double clamp and a handle, wherein the handle is fixedly installed at the end of the U-shaped double clamp, the U-shaped double clamp comprising an insulated hook frame and a detection box, the insulated hook frame comprising a front frame, a middle frame, and a rear frame, wherein a connecting plate is fixedly installed at the center of the gap between the front frame and the middle frame and at the center of the gap between the middle frame and the rear frame, the detection box is fixedly installed between the handle and the front frame, the middle frame, and the rear frame, the detection box being provided with an end cap, and clamping components are respectively provided in the gap between the front frame and the middle frame and in the gap between the middle frame and the rear frame.
[0005] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a power line clamp plate, which is hinged to the gap between the front frame and the middle frame and the gap between the middle frame and the rear frame. The upper end of the power line clamp plate is exposed outside the insulated hook frame. A torsion spring is installed in the gap between the front frame and the middle frame and the gap between the middle frame and the rear frame, and located on one side of the power line clamp plate. The torsion spring is in contact with the power line clamp plate.
[0006] Preferably, a front hanging clip is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the front frame, and a rear hanging clip is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rear frame. Copper strips are fixedly installed on the front and rear hanging clips respectively, and the copper strips are fixedly connected to the through end of the power line clamp.
[0007] Preferably, a copper bar is fixedly installed between the two side walls inside the detection box, and the two ends of the copper bar pass through the detection box and are connected to the front and rear clamps.
[0008] Preferably, the detection box is equipped with an AC signal generator circuit, an AC detection circuit, and an audio-visual display circuit. The coil of the AC signal generator circuit is mounted on a copper horizontal bar, and the coils of the AC detection circuit and the audio-visual display circuit are also mounted on the copper horizontal bar.
[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the detection box is provided with a ground wire terminal.
[0010] Beneficial effects
[0011] This invention provides a U-shaped power line clamp, solving the problems of existing power line contact points being constantly exposed, leading to metal surface corrosion and poor contact (resistance) between the power line contact points and the clamp; and the double-tongue clamp hook operating head being a single hook and single clamp, where contact is judged only by manual observation or monitoring of the contact position when it is hung on a power line requiring grounding, making it impossible to know whether the clamp and power line are reliably in contact, and consequently, whether the grounding wire is reliably grounded, thus posing a safety hazard for power line and equipment maintenance. This invention forms a circuit loop through the contact between the U-shaped clamp and the power line, and inserts input and output AC transformers into the circuit loop. By injecting a fixed-frequency AC coupling signal through the input transformer, current is generated in the closed circuit loop. When the output AC transformer in the circuit loop detects the fixed-frequency AC signal, it intelligently measures whether the grounding wire contact resistance is zero, thereby realizing the detection and monitoring of the grounding wire connection status.

Clamping components are respectively provided in the gap between the front frame 3 and the middle frame 4 and in the gap between the middle frame 4 and the rear frame 5.
[0019] The U-shaped double clamps are hung on the power cables, and the clamping components between the front frame 3, middle frame 4, and rear frame 5 clamp and fix the power cables.
[0020] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a power line clamp plate 8, which is hinged to the gap between the front frame 3 and the middle frame 4 and the gap between the middle frame 4 and the rear frame 5. The upper end of the power line clamp plate 8 is exposed in the insulated hook frame. A torsion spring 9 is installed in the gap between the front frame 3 and the middle frame 4 and the gap between the middle frame 4 and the rear frame 5 and located on one side of the power line clamp plate 8. The torsion spring 9 is in contact with the power line clamp plate 8.
[0021] Under the action of the torsion spring 9, the power line clamp 8 clamps and fixes the power cable.
[0022] In this embodiment, a front hanging clip 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the front frame 3, and a rear hanging clip 11 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rear frame 5. Copper strips 12 are fixedly installed on the front hanging clip 10 and the rear hanging clip 11, respectively, and the copper strips 12 are fixedly connected to the through end of the power line clamp plate 8.
[0023] In this embodiment, a copper bar 13 is fixedly installed between the two inner walls of the detection box 2. The two ends of the copper bar 13 pass through the detection box 2 and are connected to the front clip 10 and the rear clip 11.
[0024] In this embodiment, the detection box 2 is further configured to include an AC signal generator circuit 14, an AC detection circuit, and an audio-visual display circuit 15.

The AC detection circuit and the sound and light display circuit 15 can emit sound and light to provide a prompt.
[0029] When this invention is not connected to a power line, no circuit loop is formed, and the detected current is zero.
