Therefore, designing a track fall arrestor that can effectively prevent transmission lines from detaching is of great significance for ensuring the safety and stability of power transmission. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a fall arrestor to solve the technical problem that existing transmission towers lack effective protective structures against falling transmission lines, which makes the transmission lines prone to falling when subjected to external forces.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a fall arrestor, installed on a transmission tower to prevent transmission lines from falling, comprising:
[0005] The body used to connect the transmission tower;
[0006] The slider is slidably connected to the main body;
[0007] A support assembly for supporting the power transmission line, one end of which is fixedly connected to the slider;
[0008] A damping mechanism is used to generate sliding resistance between the slider and the body, so as to absorb the falling potential energy of the power transmission line through the damping effect between the slider and the body when the power transmission line overcomes the sliding resistance under the action of external force and drives the support assembly to fall, thereby continuously slowing down the falling speed of the power transmission line until it comes to a stop.

[0011] Friction pins are provided in the slide rail;
[0012] At least one wedge block, the slider having an internal movable groove for the wedge block to move in, the movable groove having an inclined section adapted to the inclined surface of the wedge block, when the inclined surface of the wedge block slides vertically upward along the inclined section, a horizontal force can be applied to the wedge block to cause the wedge block to press against the friction column relative to the other end of the inclined surface, thereby generating frictional resistance;
[0013] A spring is connected at one end to the bottom end of the wedge block, and the spring is used to push the inclined surface of the wedge block to slide vertically upward along the inclined section.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the side of the main body is provided with a plurality of mounting plates with first mounting grooves, the mounting plates are used to fit against the surface of the transmission tower, and the first mounting groove is provided with a connector for fixing the mounting plate and the transmission tower together.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connecting member includes a first bolt and a first nut adapted to the first bolt.
[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the supporting component includes:

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a fall arrestor, installed on a transmission tower to prevent power transmission lines from falling, includes: a body 1 for connecting to the transmission tower; a slider 7 slidably connected to the body 1; a support assembly for supporting the power transmission line, one end of which is fixedly connected to the slider 7; and a damping mechanism for generating sliding resistance between the slider 7 and the body 1, so that when the power transmission line overcomes the sliding resistance under the action of external force and causes the support assembly to fall, the damping effect between the slider 7 and the body 1 absorbs the falling potential energy of the power transmission line, thereby continuously slowing down the falling speed of the power transmission line until it comes to a stop.
[0035] The above technical solution can effectively prevent the transmission line from falling due to external force. In use, the main body 1 is fixed at the corresponding position on the transmission tower to ensure that the support component is connected to the transmission line. When the transmission line is subjected to external force and the external force exceeds the sliding resistance of the damping mechanism, the transmission line drives the support component to fall. The support component simultaneously drives the slider 7 connected to it to slide and fall relative to the main body 1. During the fall, the sliding resistance between the slider 7 and the main body 1 consumes the falling potential energy of the transmission line, which slows down the falling speed of the transmission line and eventually makes it stop, preventing the transmission line from falling from the height to the ground, thereby effectively avoiding the occurrence of accidents.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the body 1 is provided with a slide rail 6 that slides with the slider 7; one end of the slide rail 6 passes through the top end of the body 1.
[0037] The above technical solution can guide the movement of the slider 7 through the slide rail 6. Since the top of the slide rail 6 is through, the slider 7 can be easily removed from the top of the slide rail 6, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.
[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the damping mechanism includes: a friction column 20 disposed in the slide rail 6; at least one wedge block 16, the slide block 7 having an movable groove 15 for the wedge block 16 to move in, the movable groove 15 having an inclined section adapted to the inclined surface of the wedge block 16, when the inclined surface of the wedge block 16 slides vertically upward along the inclined section, a force that moves in the horizontal direction can be applied to the wedge block 16 to cause the wedge block 16 to press the friction column 20 relative to the other end of the inclined surface, thereby generating frictional resistance; a spring 17 connected to the bottom end of the wedge block 16, the spring 17 being in a compressed state, the spring 17 being used to push the inclined surface of the wedge block 16 to slide vertically upward along the inclined section; a bottom groove 19 disposed at the bottom end of the movable groove 15, the bottom groove 19 being adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the friction column 20, preferably, there are two wedge blocks 16 and they are symmetrically arranged about the slide block 7; a rubber block 18 is disposed at the other end of the wedge block 16 relative to the inclined surface.
[0039] The above technical solution utilizes sliding resistance to dissipate the falling potential energy of the transmission line, thereby slowing down its descent. During normal use, the bottom end of spring 17 abuts against the bottom end of the movable groove 15, and spring 17 is in a compressed state. This pushes the inclined surface of wedge block 16 to slide vertically upwards along the inclined section, applying a horizontal force to wedge block 16. This causes the rubber block 18 at one end of wedge block 16 to press against the friction column 20, generating frictional resistance. This resistance is relatively small. When the transmission line falls, due to the span of the transmission line... The larger size results in a greater self-weight, which overcomes the resistance and drives the slider 7 downward. The slider 7 drives the wedge block 16 downward along the friction column 20, causing the wedge block 16 to rub against the friction column 20. The friction column 20 will generate a relatively upward thrust on the wedge block 16. By utilizing the inclined surface of the wedge block 16 and the inclined section of the movable groove 15, the horizontal force of the wedge block 16 is further increased, causing the wedge block 16 to squeeze the friction column 20 more forcefully, increasing the sliding resistance, accelerating the loss of falling potential energy, and quickly slowing down the falling speed of the transmission line.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the side of the main body 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting plates 2 with first mounting grooves 3. The mounting plates 2 are used to fit against the surface of the transmission tower. The first mounting grooves 3 are provided with connectors for fixing the mounting plates 2 and the transmission tower together. Specifically, the connectors include first bolts 4 and first nuts 5 that are adapted to the first bolts 4.
[0041] The above technical solution can fix the main body 1 to the transmission tower by means of the first bolt 4 and the first nut 5.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the support assembly includes: a support rod 8 fixedly connected to the slider 7 at one end; and a fastening structure connected to the support rod 8 and used to clamp the transmission line. Specifically, the fastening structure includes: a fixed bracket 9 fixedly connected to the support rod 8 at one end; a movable bracket 10 hinged to the fixed bracket 9 at one end, which can be rotated relative to the fixed bracket 9 by rotating the movable bracket 10 to cause one end of the two to come into contact, thereby forming a contact surface. The movable bracket 10 and the fixed bracket 9 are provided with a clamping groove 11 adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the transmission line at the contact surface; and a limiting mechanism for limiting the rotation of the movable bracket 10 relative to the fixed bracket 9. Further, the limiting mechanism includes a second bolt 12 and a second nut 13 adapted to the second bolt 12. The second bolt 12 passes through a second mounting groove 14 opened at one end of both the fixed bracket 9 and the movable bracket 10.
[0043] The above technical solution can fix the power transmission line and the slider 7, so that the power transmission line can drive the slider 7 to slide along the slide rail 6. In use, the power transmission line is embedded in the clamping groove 11 at the upper end of the fixed bracket 9, and the movable bracket 10 is rotated to make it rotate relative to the fixed bracket 9 so that one end of the two are in contact. The second bolt 12 is passed through the second mounting groove 14 at one end of the fixed bracket 9 and the movable bracket 10, and the second nut 13 is screwed on the tail end of the second bolt 12.
[0044] Working principle: During installation, the main body 1 is fixed to the transmission tower by the first bolt 4 and the first nut 5. The transmission line is embedded in the clamping groove 11 at the upper end of the fixed bracket 9. The movable bracket 10 is rotated relative to the fixed bracket 9 to make one end of the two fit together. The second bolt 12 is passed through the second mounting groove 14 at one end of the fixed bracket 9 and the movable bracket 10, and the second nut 13 is screwed on the tail end of the second bolt 12.
[0045] Under normal circumstances, the bottom end of the spring 17 abuts against the bottom end of the movable groove 15, and the spring 17 is in a compressed state, thereby pushing the inclined surface of the wedge block 16 to slide vertically upward along the inclined section, applying a force to the wedge block 16 in the horizontal direction, causing the rubber block 18 at one end of the wedge block 16 to squeeze the friction column 20, thereby generating frictional resistance, which is relatively small in the initial state.
[0046] When the power transmission line falls, its large span and weight cause it to overcome resistance and move the slider 7 downwards. The slider 7 then moves the wedge block 16 downwards along the friction column 20, causing the wedge block 16 to rub against the friction column 20. The friction column 20 exerts a relatively upward thrust on the wedge block 16, which, through the inclined surface of the wedge block 16 and the inclined section of the movable groove 15, further increases the horizontal force of the wedge block 16. This causes the wedge block 16 to press harder against the friction column 20, increasing sliding resistance, accelerating the loss of falling potential energy, and quickly slowing down the falling speed of the power transmission line. This helps to slow down the falling speed of the power transmission line and eventually stop it from falling to the ground, effectively preventing accidents. In addition, due to the special shape of the wedge block 16, when the slider 7 rises and resets along the slide rail 6, the wedge block 16 can release the friction column 20, facilitating subsequent maintenance.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
