Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable conduit construction technology, specifically relating to a visual cable conduit auxiliary device. Background Technology
[0002] In power construction or maintenance work, cable installation in conduits often relies on manual operation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is prone to problems such as cable tangling and jamming, increasing installation costs and difficulty.
[0003] Moreover, since cables are not visible during the cable laying process, operators often cannot accurately judge the state of the cable inside the pipe, which can easily lead to cable damage or improper installation, affecting the cable's service life and safety.
[0004] Therefore, we have improved upon the traditional cable pulling method on site and proposed a visual cable pulling auxiliary device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a visual cable conduit installation aid to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A visual cable conduit installation aid includes a detachable clamp unit that is fixedly fitted around the outside of a conductive cable. Several support legs are installed around the circumference of the conductive cable on the outside of the clamp unit to support the conductive cable and prevent the conductive cable from contacting the inner wall of the cable conduit. A camera assembly is installed on the front side of the clamp unit by screws.
[0008] Furthermore, the support leg includes a base, a ball bearing seat, a spring, and steel balls; the bottom end of the ball bearing seat is slidably inserted into the inner side of the base, and a ball bearing groove is provided at the middle position of the top of the ball bearing seat; the spring is disposed between the bottom of the ball bearing seat and the base.
[0009] Furthermore, the steel ball is semi-enclosed and rotated in the ball groove, and the base is provided with several positioning grooves around the circumference of the ball seat. On the outer side of the bottom of the ball seat, corresponding to the position of the positioning groove, there is a positioning ear that slides and engages with the corresponding positioning groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the positioning groove has an L-shaped structure design.
[0011] Furthermore, the clamp unit includes a left clamp and a right clamp, one end of the left clamp and the right clamp are hinged by a pin, and the other end of the left clamp and the right clamp are detachably connected by bolts; rubber pads are fixed on the inner side of both the left clamp and the right clamp.
[0012] Furthermore, both sides of the left clamp and the right clamp are integrally formed with arc-shaped grooves, and the grooves are designed as concentric arcs with the left clamp and the right clamp.
[0013] Furthermore, both sides of the bottom of the base are integrally formed with sliding catches that slide in conjunction with the sliding groove, and locking screws are threaded on both sides of the base.
[0014] Furthermore, the left clamp and the right clamp are integrally formed with mounting ears for mounting camera components on the same side.
[0015] Furthermore, the camera assembly includes a camera mounting base, in which a miniature wireless camera is installed, and a power storage module for powering the miniature wireless camera is installed at the bottom of the camera mounting base. Several brackets are mounted on the outer side of the camera mounting base in a circumferential manner, and the end of the bracket away from the camera mounting base is fixedly connected to the mounting ear by screws.
[0016] Beneficial effects:
[0017] This invention employs an openable clamp to secure the cable, with a rubber pad inside the clamp. This allows the clamp to accommodate cables of different sizes while effectively protecting the cable surface. Furthermore, the overall design incorporates several supporting legs arranged circumferentially around the conductive cable, providing support around the cable's circumference and reducing friction between the cable and the inner wall of the cable conduit. This facilitates rapid cable insertion. The supporting leg design also reduces friction during insertion, making it easier and allowing the device to adapt to conduits of varying diameters. Additionally, a detachable bracket houses a miniature wireless camera, enabling convenient observation of the conduit's interior during the insertion of large conductive cables. This allows for timely adjustments to the insertion speed and angle, preventing cable entanglement and jamming, and significantly improving insertion efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the present utility model will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.
[0023] Example:
[0024] Traditional manual cable pulling in power construction or maintenance is time-consuming and labor-intensive, prone to problems such as cable tangling and jamming, increasing installation costs and difficulty. Furthermore, the cable is not visible during the pulling process, making it difficult for operators to accurately assess its condition within the conduit, potentially leading to cable damage or improper installation, affecting cable lifespan and safety. Therefore, based on traditional on-site cable pulling methods, we have designed a visual cable pulling auxiliary device; the specific solution is shown below:
[0025] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a visual cable conduit installation auxiliary device, specifically including a detachable clamp unit that is fixedly fitted onto the outside of the conductive cable 7. The clamp unit includes a left clamp 1 and a right clamp 2. One end of the left clamp 1 and the right clamp 2 are hinged by a pin 3, and the other end of the left clamp 1 and the right clamp 2 are detachably connected by bolts 9. Rubber pads 11 are fixed on the inner side of both the left clamp 1 and the right clamp 2. The clamp unit with an open and closed design is used to fix the conductive cable 7, and the rubber pads 11 are set on the inner side of the clamp unit. This allows the clamp unit to adapt to the fixing of conductive cables 7 of different sizes, while also effectively protecting the surface of the cable.
[0026] To avoid excessive frictional resistance between the conductive cable 7 and the inner wall of the conduit during the conduit insertion process, which could cause damage due to excessive tension on the conductive cable 7, such as... Figure 1-2As shown, several support legs 4 are installed around the circumference of the conductive cable 7 on the outside of the clamp unit to support the conductive cable 7, so as to prevent the conductive cable 7 from contacting the inner wall of the cable sleeve 8. In order to improve the speed of pipe pulling and reduce the difficulty of pipe pulling, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the support leg 4 includes a base 401, a ball bearing seat 404, a spring 405, and a steel ball 407. The bottom end of the ball bearing seat 404 is slidably inserted into the inner side of the base 401, and a ball groove 406 is formed at the middle of the top of the ball bearing seat 404. The spring 405 is disposed between the bottom of the ball bearing seat 404 and the base 401. The steel ball 407 is rotatably mounted in the ball groove 406 in a semi-enclosed manner. The base 401 has several positioning grooves 403 formed around the circumference of the ball bearing seat 404, and the outer side of the bottom of the ball bearing seat 404 is correspondingly positioned. Each slot 403 has a fixed positioning ear 408 that slides and engages with the corresponding positioning slot 403; the left clamp 1 and the right clamp 2 have integrally formed mounting ears 10 for mounting the camera component 6 on the same side. At the same time, it should be further noted that the visual cable conduit auxiliary device described in this utility model can be used in combination with multiple devices according to the length of the conduit, and fixed at equal distances on the outside of the conductive cable 7, while the camera component 6 only needs to be installed on the visual cable conduit auxiliary device at the front end.
[0027] To provide timely feedback on the internal condition of the conduit during the conduit installation process, allowing operators to adjust the installation speed accordingly, a camera assembly 6 is installed on the front side of the clamp unit via screws 5. The camera assembly 6 includes a camera mounting base 601, within which a miniature wireless camera 603 is installed. A power storage module for the miniature wireless camera 603 is installed at the bottom of the camera mounting base 601. Several brackets 602 are rotatably mounted around the outer side of the camera mounting base 601. The end of each bracket 602 away from the camera mounting base 601 is fixedly connected to the mounting ear 10 via screws 5. This design allows for real-time monitoring of the movement of the conductive cable 7 within the conduit during installation. The camera wirelessly transmits image signals to a display terminal, allowing the operator to clearly see the real-time video of the cable installation process. This enables the operator to know the real-time position of the conductive cable 7 within the conduit, helping them determine if the cable is stuck or if adjustments to the guide angle are needed.
[0028] To facilitate the insertion of the device into the sleeve, its positioning groove 403 is designed with an L-shaped structure. Before inserting the device into the sleeve, the ball bearing seat 404 can be pressed into the base 401, and the positioning ear 408 can be locked at the bottom of the positioning groove 403 by twisting the ball bearing seat 404. After all the support legs 4 on the device have entered the inner wall of the sleeve, the positioning ear 408 can be pried off the positioning end at the bottom of the positioning groove 403 by using a tool, so that the ball bearing seat 404 carrying the steel ball 407 can be reset and abut against the inner wall of the sleeve.
[0029] In order to improve the flexibility of the device and its adaptability to various installation scenarios during the entire use of the device, the position of the support leg 4 on the clamp unit is adjustable. Specifically, arc-shaped sliding grooves 12 are integrally formed on both sides of the left clamp 1 and the right clamp 2, and the sliding grooves 12 are concentric arcs with the left clamp 1 and the right clamp 2. The bottom sides of the base 401 are integrally formed with sliding catches 402 that slide with the sliding grooves 12, and locking screws are screwed on both sides of the base 401.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
