Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power facility maintenance technology, and in particular relates to a novel voltage detection and insulation operating rod. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards and the increase in electricity demand, electricity consumption in rural areas has also increased, placing higher demands on the efficiency of line fault repair. Therefore, the importance of improving the efficiency of line fault repair work is becoming increasingly prominent. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent live line testing during line fault repair, which could threaten the personal safety of workers.

[0003] The traditional steps for fault repair and line testing include:

[0004] 1. Visually inspect the vacuum circuit breaker for 1 minute to see if it has tripped;

[0005] 2. Prepare climbing equipment, which will take 5 minutes;

[0006] 3. Testing for electricity at height takes 5.5 minutes;

[0007] 4. Once the power is confirmed to be off, personnel can descend the pole, which takes 8.5 minutes.

[0008] 5. Testing the circuit by hanging the wire with an insulating rod takes 6.1 minutes.

[0009] Traditional fault repair and line measurement methods are time-consuming, primarily due to the need for climbing to heights for inspection. Therefore, the key to improving the efficiency of traditional fault repair and line measurement lies in effectively reducing the time spent at heights. One solution is to assign skilled pole-climbing personnel, but such personnel are limited, and excessively pursuing climbing speed poses safety hazards.

[0010] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, designing a new type of voltage detection insulating operating rod has become an urgent and important task in the industry. Utility Model Content

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and design a new type of voltage testing and insulation operating rod. This new type of voltage testing and insulation operating rod has a simple structure and is easy to use; it solves the problem that the existing fault repair and line testing takes a long time.

[0012] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

The connecting tube connects the voltage testing tube and the operating tube, and a voltage testing head is provided at the end of the voltage testing tube. The main functions of the voltage testing tube, connecting tube, and operating tube are to support and fix the device for performing voltage testing and the device for opening and closing the circuit breaker.

[0032] This new type of voltage testing pole eliminates the need for pole climbing, reducing the safety risks and time associated with pole climbing for distribution network professionals. The testing time has been successfully controlled within the target value of 5 minutes.

[0045] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples:

[0046] It should be noted that the structures, colors, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0047] Meanwhile, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" used in this specification are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0048] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model discloses a novel insulating operating rod for voltage testing, comprising a voltage testing tube, a connecting tube, and an operating tube. The connecting tube connects the voltage testing tube and the operating tube, and a voltage testing head is provided at the end of the voltage testing tube. The main functions of the voltage testing tube, connecting tube, and operating tube are to support and fix the device for performing voltage testing and the device for opening and closing the circuit breaker, ensuring portability while withstanding certain external forces. The connecting tube can be telescopic or a connecting tube composed of multiple connecting tubes connected by threads, adapting to conductors of different heights.

[0049] In practice, the operator holds the operating tube, extends its length through the connecting tube, and then connects the end to the voltage testing tube, so that the voltage testing head at the end of the voltage testing tube contacts the wire to complete the voltage testing work.

[0050] The voltage tester includes a connector, which connects to the voltage test tube. A voltage test rod is installed on the side of the connector, which performs the voltage testing work. An operating rod is installed on the side of the voltage test rod, which is used to perform the opening and closing operations.

[0051] The voltage testing tube contains a PCB circuit board, which extends out of the voltage testing tube and connects to the voltage testing rod. The voltage testing operation is completed through the combination of the PCB circuit board and the voltage testing rod.

[0052] The side of the voltage detector is equipped with a charging port, a speaker, an indicator light, and a self-test switch, all of which are connected to the PCB circuit board. This enables the device to have self-test and audible / visual alarm functions.

[0053] The PCB circuit board is selected from those already available on the market. It connects the charging port, speaker, indicator light, lighting, light switch and self-test switch, and can perform the corresponding functions.

[0054] The end of the voltage testing tube is provided with a first connecting sleeve, the two ends of the connecting tube are provided with a second connecting sleeve and a third connecting sleeve, and one end of the operating tube is provided with a fourth connecting sleeve.

[0055] The first connecting sleeve has a first internal thread, the second connecting sleeve has a first external thread corresponding to the first internal thread, the third connecting sleeve has a second internal thread, and the fourth connecting sleeve has a second external thread corresponding to the first internal thread. This allows both ends of the connecting tube to be connected to the voltage testing tube and the operating tube via threaded connections, facilitating disassembly, assembly, and transportation.

[0056] An insulated handle is provided at the other end of the operating tube. When in use, the operator holds the insulated handle to perform voltage testing and switching operations.

[0057] Preferably, the insulation layer of the watch has raised protrusions that conform to the human body, increasing the comfort of gripping and the stability of the grip for the operator, and preventing the device from falling.

[0058] A light is installed on the side of the connector, and the light is powered by a PCB circuit board. A corresponding light switch is installed on the side of the voltage test tube. The light is aimed at the wires and the circuit breaker to facilitate voltage testing at night.

[0059] The voltage testing tube is 1m long, while the connecting tube and operating tube are both 1.5m long. Multiple tests were conducted based on the actual conditions at the substation site to verify that the rod-like structure, consisting of several 1.5m voltage testing tubes, 1m connecting tubes, and 1m operating tubes, can ensure that circuit breaker switching operations are completed simultaneously with voltage testing.

[0060] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe consists of several threaded adjusting rods. Through comparative testing, it was found that although the connecting pipe composed of several threaded adjusting rods has a longer operation time, it has significant advantages in load-bearing capacity and fixing effect, and its cost is lower than that of the telescopic type. Therefore, the connecting pipe composed of several threaded adjusting rods is preferred.

[0061] The voltage testing tube, connecting tube, and operating tube are all made of insulating material. In this embodiment, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is selected because it has excellent insulation properties, effectively isolating current and preventing leakage. Simultaneously, the PVC insulation layer has high tensile strength and wear resistance, enabling it to withstand certain external forces.

[0062] The steps for using this utility model device include:

[0063] 1. Visually inspect the vacuum circuit breaker for 1 minute to see if it has tripped;

[0064] 2. Assemble the voltage testing insulating rod, which takes 1 minute;

[0065] 3. Test for electricity to confirm there is no power, which takes 1 minute;

[0066] 4. Testing the circuit by hanging the wire with an insulating rod takes 6.1 minutes.

[0067] During the comprehensive maintenance of the distribution network, the practical application effect of the new tool was further verified. In conjunction with emergency repairs and planned maintenance 15 times, the voltage testing time was successfully controlled within the target value of 5 minutes, and the working efficiency was improved by 65.1%. Based on actual operation, it can be concluded that the device has successfully achieved the goal of "shortening the voltage testing time of overhead line maintenance and emergency repair within 5 minutes".

[0068] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
