Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conductor protection technology, specifically a color-changing conductor warning device. Background Technology

[0002] During power transmission, if the load is too large and the current exceeds the rated carrying capacity of the conductor and its insulation sheath, significant overheating will occur. Overheating not only accelerates the aging of the conductor material and reduces its insulation performance, but may also cause the conductor insulation sheath to melt or even burn, leading to serious electrical safety hazards such as short circuits and fires.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a color-changing wire warning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, a color-changing wire warning device includes a thermochromic wire tube 1. An inlet 5 is provided on one side of the thermochromic wire tube 1 along its length. The edges of the thermochromic wire tube 1 on both sides of the inlet 5 extend outward to form sealing edges 8. A slot 6 and a block 7 are respectively provided on the corresponding side of the two sealing edges 8. The slot 6 and the block 7 are engaged to close the inlet 5. An elastic thermally conductive liner 2 is provided on the inner side of the thermochromic wire tube 1.

[0023] In use, the inlet 5 is opened and the thermochromic conduit 1 is fitted onto the outside of the wire. The two sealing edges 8 are pressed to make the locking block 7 snap into the slot 6. The elastic thermally conductive liner 2 is compressed and deforms elastically to fit tightly against the wire. When the wire heats up, the heat is conducted to the thermochromic conduit 1 through the elastic thermally conductive liner 2. The thermochromic conduit 1 heats up and changes color, thus providing a visual warning to help operators detect potential overheating problems in time, prevent equipment failures and safety accidents, and improve the safety and reliability of power transmission.

[0024] Specifically, the inner diameter of the thermochromic tube 1 should not be less than the diameter of the wire to be covered.

[0025] Due to the difference in wire diameter, in order to ensure the heat transfer effect between the wire and the thermochromic tube 1.

[0026] In some embodiments, the elastic thermally conductive liner 2 includes elastic strips 4, with multiple elastic strips 4 evenly distributed circumferentially along the thermochromic tube 1. After the thermochromic tube 1 is fitted over the outside of the wire, the elastic strips 4 undergo elastic deformation to fill the gap between the thermochromic tube 1 and the wire, thereby ensuring the heat transfer effect between the wire and the thermochromic tube 1 and ensuring that the thermochromic tube 1 produces accurate and timely color changes.

[0027] In some embodiments, the elastic thermally conductive liner 2 includes elastic protrusions 9, and a plurality of elastic protrusions 9 are uniformly distributed inside the thermochromic tube 1. By setting the granular elastic protrusions 9, after the thermochromic tube 1 is fitted onto the outside of the wire, the elastic strip 4 is compressed and generates elastic deformation to fill the gap between the wires, improves the fit, ensures the heat transfer effect between the wire and the thermochromic tube 1, and ensures that the thermochromic tube 1 produces color changes accurately and in a timely manner.

[0028] To ensure the stability of the connection between the two sealing edges 8, the cross-section of the locking block 7 is umbrella-shaped, and the locking groove 6 is adapted to the locking block 7. By using the locking block 7 with an umbrella-shaped cross-section, the locking block 7 is easy to insert into the locking groove 6, while making it difficult for it to fall out of the locking groove 6, thus ensuring the fastening connection effect.

[0029] Specifically, the thermochromic tube 1 is a reversible thermochromic silicone tube. When the temperature reaches a preset threshold, the color of the thermochromic tube 1 will change from its original state to another color, thus providing an immediate visual warning; it can return to its original color after the temperature drops. This means that once the temperature of the wire or equipment drops back to a safe range, the warning device will automatically return to its initial state without manual intervention, facilitating continuous monitoring of the equipment's temperature changes.

[0030] In summary, this color-changing conductor warning device is easy to install, as it can be directly attached to the surface of the conductor in question. Furthermore, this device requires minimal maintenance, needing only periodic checks to ensure the color change is normal. Due to its color-changing properties, this warning device provides an additional layer of protection for the safe operation of equipment. It reduces the need for manual monitoring, lowers the risk of equipment damage and safety accidents caused by overheating, and thus improves the safety of power transmission.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
