Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of overhead contact line power cable laying technology, specifically relating to a protective device for cable laying on bridge steel columns. Background Technology

[0002] In areas with favorable geological conditions, such as traction substations, AT stations, and sectioning stations of high-speed railways, power supply lines are generally erected. However, in mountainous areas where railway lines cross mountains, rivers, deep valleys, or other special terrains and are located on bridges or in tunnels, overhead lines are not feasible. Therefore, laying power supply lines using cables is the best option.

[0003] Currently, cable laying methods include direct burial, cable trench laying, and bridge pier laying. High-speed railways generally use direct burial in suburban areas and areas without vehicle traffic, shallow cable trenches are generally used outside the railway subgrade, and bridge piers are generally used for cable laying on bridges. Laying cables on bridges presents the following problems: after the cable piers are installed, the pulleys have no installation location due to clearance limitations; according to current designs, no contact wire cable trench is reserved, resulting in very little clearance between the bridge railings and the contact wire supports, which can scratch the cable sheath. Equipment is present at the cable laying location, and the installation of hardware further reduces the clearance between the bridge railings and the contact wire supports, and the equipment hardware also affects the appearance of the sheath. Before cable pier installation, exposed pre-embedded chemical anchors affect pulley arrangement; exposed pre-embedded chemical anchors are also prone to scratching the cable.

[0004] Hazards of cable outer sheath damage: It may lead to water ingress into the cable and failure of its anti-corrosion function; the metal armor layer of the power cable will generate induced current, and when the outer sheath of the cable is damaged, it will cause electrochemical corrosion or electric spark discharge to damage the metal armor layer; when a single-phase ground fault occurs in the power system, the fault current is very large, and the induced voltage on the metal armor layer will increase. If the sheath is damaged, it will be broken down and the metal layer will be burned, and it may even damage the main insulation of the cable; after the outer sheath is damaged and broken down, the cable line will form multiple grounding points, and circulating current loss will be generated on the metal armor, reducing the current carrying capacity of the cable and affecting power transmission.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, care must be taken during cable laying to prevent damage to the outer sheath and ensure good insulation performance. Therefore, using steel bridge columns and protective pulleys for cable laying can effectively protect the cable's outer layer from scratches by hard objects, avoiding quality problems during cable replacement caused by construction damage to the cable's outer layer.

The inner side of the support gradually increases from top to bottom. The inner side of the support is provided with a wedge-shaped pad. The wedge-shaped pad is connected by an adjusting rod. One end of the adjusting rod passes through the connection end between the support and the bracket.

[0009] Furthermore, the protective device also includes an adjusting handle, the center of which is provided with a sleeve that matches the adjusting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting ends of the bracket and the support are provided with through holes for the adjustment rod to pass through, and the four apex corners of the through holes are respectively provided with fixing holes, and fastening bolts are provided in the fixing holes.

[0011] Furthermore, a locking nut is provided at one end of the adjusting rod that passes through the bracket and the support, and a positioning retaining ring is provided on the locking nut.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjusting rod is provided with external threads, and the wedge-shaped pad is provided with a through hole with internal threads at its center, and the wedge-shaped pad is threadedly connected to the adjusting rod.

[0013] Furthermore, positioning retaining rings are provided on the upper and lower sides of the wedge-shaped pad.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By using this utility model, the cable is always inside the pulley after exiting the cable reel, and the cable is always within the clearance between the bridge railing and the contact wire support (equipment hardware), making full use of the working space;

[0016] 2. The installation position of the pulley was changed from the ground to the top of the column, so that the cable will not come into contact with any sharp objects during the cable laying process, thus achieving effective protection of the cable sheath;

[0017] 3. This utility model allows for the replacement of the lower support frame depending on the material selected for the upright, making it more practical;

[0018] 4. The lower support can be disassembled and replaced with the base for reuse in the roadbed and tunnel, saving construction costs;

[0019] 5. Installing protective pulleys for cable laying inside the steel bridge columns can reduce the mutual interference between fastening devices and cable hangers;

[0020] 6. Using this utility model to lay cables can reduce the risk of cable scratches and significantly reduce the number of monitoring personnel. Attached Figure Description
