AI Technical Summary
The existing wedge-shaped tension clamps rely on the increased friction from the reverse teeth, which is insufficient to withstand the tension of the conductor, potentially causing the conductor to detach and posing a safety hazard.
A wedge-shaped tension clamp was designed, which adopts a structure in which the left and right wedge cores fit together. The clamping groove is provided with reverse teeth and spikes. When the left and right wedge cores clamp the conductor, the spikes pierce into the conductor, and the conductor undergoes tooth-like deformation and embeds itself between the reverse teeth, increasing the friction. The staggered reverse teeth and the clamping plate limit structure prevent slippage.
It significantly increases the friction between the conductor and the wedge core, preventing the conductor from slipping and falling off, and improving the safety and stability of the connection.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power fittings technology, specifically a wedge-shaped tension clamp. Background Technology
[0002] Wedge-shaped tension clamps are a type of hardware used in power lines. Their main function is to fix overhead insulated aluminum conductors or bare aluminum conductors to insulators on corner or terminal tension poles, thereby fixing or tightening the overhead conductors.
[0003] Existing wedge-shaped tension clamps typically have reverse teeth on the wedge core to increase friction with the conductor, making the conductor more securely fixed. For example, Chinese patent number 202320575359.6 discloses a pull rod type wedge-shaped insulated conductor tension clamp. This utility model increases the friction between the wedge core and the insulated conductor by setting a clamp groove with reverse teeth. However, the friction increased by the reverse teeth alone is relatively limited. When the friction between the wedge core and the conductor is insufficient to withstand the tension of the conductor, the conductor will fall off, which poses a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wedge-shaped tension clamp to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wedge-shaped tension clamp, comprising a housing and a pull rod passing through the housing. The housing has a left wedge core and a right wedge core that fit together inside. Each of the left and right wedge cores has a clamping groove on an adjacent side. The clamping groove has back teeth and spikes inside. The back teeth are staggered. Each of the left and right wedge cores has an alignment block integrally formed on one side. The right wedge core has a retaining plate on one side, and the left wedge core has a protrusion on one side.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two ends of the pull rod are respectively threaded with a first nut and a second nut.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the thread direction of the first nut is opposite to that of the thread direction of the second nut.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a flat washer is fitted onto the pull rod.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the clamping groove is an arc-shaped structure.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the spikes provided can penetrate into the wire, and when the left and right wedges clamp the wire, the wire will undergo tooth-like deformation and embed itself between the reverse teeth, thereby greatly increasing the friction between the wire and the left and right wedges, preventing the wire from slipping and avoiding the phenomenon of the wire falling off, thus improving safety.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a wedge-shaped tension clamp, including a housing 1 and a pull rod 2 passing through the housing 1. The housing 1 has a left wedge core 3 and a right wedge core 4 that fit together inside. The housing 1 also has a wedge-shaped groove inside, with one end gradually narrowing. The left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 are slidably installed within the wedge-shaped groove inside the housing 1. Both the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 are wedge-shaped structures. Under the tension of the conductor, the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 move towards the narrowing part of the wedge-shaped groove, causing them to move closer together and clamping the conductor more firmly. Each side of the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 has a clamping groove 11, and the inside of the clamping groove 11 has an inverted... The teeth 12 and spikes 13 are used to penetrate the wire when the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 clamp the wire. The spikes 13 can penetrate the wire, and the wire will deform into a tooth shape and embed between the inverted teeth 12, which greatly increases the friction between the wire and the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4, so that the wire will not slip and the wire will not fall off. The inverted teeth 12 are staggered. One side of the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 are integrally formed with alignment blocks 9. One side of the right wedge core 4 is provided with a locking plate 8. The locking plate 8 is used to lock between the protrusion 7 and the alignment block 9, thereby limiting the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 and preventing the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 from shifting. One side of the left wedge core 3 is provided with a protrusion 7.
[0018] The two ends of the pull rod 2 are respectively threaded with a first nut 5 and a second nut 6, which serve to prevent loosening.
[0019] In this case, the thread direction of the first nut 5 is opposite to that of the second nut 6. When the first nut 5 and the second nut 6 are tightened, an interactive pressure is generated between them. This pressure makes it difficult for them to rotate relative to each other. When subjected to vibration, if the first nut 5 tends to loosen, its loosening direction is exactly the tightening direction of the second nut 6. Therefore, the tightening force of the second nut 6 will prevent the first nut 5 from loosening, thereby maintaining the tightness of the connection and preventing loosening.
[0020] The pull rod 2 is fitted with a flat washer 10, which can prevent the first nut 5 from loosening under vibration or torque, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection.
[0021] The clamping groove 11 has an arc-shaped cross-section, which allows the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 to better fit the wire.
[0022] Specifically, during use, the wire is passed through the clamping groove 11. Under the action of the outer shell 1, the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 move closer to each other to clamp the wire. The spike 13 will pierce into the wire, and the wire will undergo tooth-like deformation and embed itself between the reverse teeth 12, thereby greatly increasing the friction with the wire. At the same time, the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 will move towards the narrowing part of the wedge groove under the pulling force of the wire, so that the left wedge core 3 and the right wedge core 4 move closer to each other, making the clamping of the wire more secure.
