[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings, and the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0017] For example, Figures 1 to 3As shown in the utility model embodiment provides a kind of catenary cable compensator, including compensator body and the fixed mechanism 2 for fixing compensator body, the fixed mechanism 2 includes as support's column 1 and two arc plates 21 by bolted on column 1, one of arc plate 21 is provided with the support 22 for installing compensator body;The compensator body includes rotatable installation on the fixed mechanism 2 on roller 32, the roller 32's roll shaft 31 is installed in the bearing seat on support 22, the roller 32 is provided with fixed ring 33, one end of the roller 32 is wound with cable, the other end of the roller 32 is wound with counterweight rope, one end of the cable and counterweight rope is fixed on fixed ring 33, the other end of the counterweight rope is connected with counterweight 5;The fixed mechanism 2 is equipped with the speed reducer mechanism for slowing down the descending speed of counterweight 5.Through setting fixed mechanism 2, roller 32, because cable and counterweight rope are all wound on roller 32, and counterweight rope is provided with counterweight 5 at the end away from roller 32, so when cable changes in length due to thermal expansion and contraction or weather, counterweight 5 can always provide corresponding tension to cable through counterweight rope and roller 32, so that the tension of cable is maintained;By setting fixed ring 33, one end of the cable and counterweight rope is fixed on fixed ring 33, so even if cable breaks unexpectedly, counterweight 5 and roller 32 remain connected, and counterweight 5 will not fall to the ground and cause damage;By setting speed reducer mechanism, when cable breaks unexpectedly, counterweight 5 will not fall suddenly, but slowly, thereby avoiding the possibility that the connection between counterweight rope and fixed ring 33 is damaged or broken due to the rapid descent of counterweight 5, and the slow descent of counterweight 5 is also safer for the facilities below.

[0018] Further, the speed reducer mechanism includes a ratchet wheel 41 fitted on the roller 32, the outer side of the ratchet wheel 41 is provided with an annular frame 44, the inner side of the annular frame 44 is hinged with a ratchet tooth 42 cooperating with the ratchet wheel 41, and a spring 43 is arranged between the annular frame 44 and the ratchet tooth 42;The annular frame 44 is rotatably arranged in a ring sleeve 45, the ring sleeve 45 is fixedly installed on the fixed mechanism 2 by a fixed seat 46, and a damping pad is arranged between the annular frame 44 and the ring sleeve 45. Figure 3 As shown, by setting the ratchet wheel 41, the ratchet tooth 42 and the damping pad, Figure 3As a reference, when the bearing cable is tightened to pull the drum 32 to rotate clockwise, the ratchet wheel 41 and the ratchet tooth 42 do not limit the rotation of the drum 32, and the counterweight 5 rises; when the bearing cable is loosened or even broken, the counterweight 5 pulls the drum 32 to rotate counterclockwise, at this time the ratchet wheel 41 and the ratchet tooth 42 are locked, but because the damping pad is arranged between the annular frame 44 and the ring sleeve 45, the annular frame 44 can still rotate counterclockwise slowly relative to the ring sleeve 45, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the counterweight 5, without affecting the adjustment of the tension of the bearing cable by the counterweight 5, and avoiding accidents caused by the rapid falling of the counterweight 5.

[0019] Further, the ratchet wheel 41 is sleeved on the middle part of the drum 32, the fixing ring 33 has two and is arranged on the drum 32 on both sides of the ratchet wheel 41 respectively, the bearing cable and the counterweight rope are wound on the drum 32 on both sides of the ratchet wheel 41 respectively, and one end of the bearing cable and the counterweight rope is fixed on the two fixing rings 33 close to each other respectively. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the bearing cable and the counterweight rope are symmetrically wound on the drum 32 on both sides of the ratchet wheel 41, which is not only beautiful, but also avoids the problem of disorderly winding of the counterweight rope and the bearing cable, and the stress on the drum 32 is also more balanced.

[0020] Further, the drum 32 is provided with a spiral groove for winding the bearing cable and the counterweight rope. Winding the bearing cable and the counterweight rope in the spiral groove avoids the friction between the ropes themselves and reduces wear.

[0021] Further, the fixing mechanism 2 is provided with a protective cover for protecting the body of the compensator. The protective cover can play a role in preventing rain and dust, so that the working state of each component of the body of the compensator is stable, and the service life is prolonged. Since the shape structure of the protective cover is not the focus of protection of the utility model, it is not shown in the drawing.

[0022] Working principle: by arranging the counterweight 5, the counterweight rope, the drum 32 and the fixing ring 33, the counterweight 5 and the bearing cable can pull the drum 32 to rotate, thereby compensating the tension of the bearing cable; at the same time, one end of the counterweight rope and the bearing cable is fixed on the fixing ring 33, so when the bearing cable is broken, the counterweight 5 is still connected through the counterweight rope and the fixing ring 33, avoiding the counterweight 5 from falling to the ground and causing accidents; by arranging the ratchet wheel and ratchet tooth structure and the damping pad, when the counterweight 5 falls, the damping pad can slow down the rotation speed of the drum 32 through the ratchet wheel and ratchet tooth structure, thereby slowing down the falling of the counterweight 5, which is safer.
