Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment maintenance technology, and in particular to a simulated conductor heating device. Background Technology

[0002] In cold regions, ice accumulation on power transmission lines can lead to safety hazards such as excessive tower loads and conductor galloping.

[0003] Existing technology, such as the Chinese patent announcement number CN218040713U, discloses a simulated wire heating device, including a fixed bracket, a crossbeam, and a distribution cabinet. The fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the middle of the crossbeam, with a connecting rod fixedly connected to its front end. A tension sensor is located at the lower end of the connecting rod, and a wire locking device is located at the lower end of the tension sensor. The interior of the wire locking device is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the wire, and heating rods are located at both ends of the wire locking device. The distribution cabinet has an ARM controller on its rear wall and a battery on its bottom. The input of the ARM controller is electrically connected to the output of the battery, and the output of the ARM controller is electrically connected to the input of the heating rods. The output of the tension sensor is electrically connected to the input of the ARM controller. This simulated wire heating device can monitor the de-icing progress online, allowing personnel to understand and control the de-icing progress in a timely manner, facilitating management.

[0004] While this device can indirectly measure icing amount using a tension sensor, it has a significant drawback: using a real conductor as the measured object makes it susceptible to wind-induced conductor swaying, causing the tension sensor to generate oscillation signals and resulting in inaccurate measurement data. To address this drawback, we propose a simulated conductor heating device. Utility Model Content

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. A simulated conductor with the same diameter as the real conductor is used as the simulated test object.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a simulated conductor heating device, including an L-shaped fixed bracket 10 clamped on a transmission tower, and also including a conductor icing monitoring device, which is symmetrically arranged below the two L-shaped fixed brackets 10, and includes a tension sensor 20, a clamping mechanism, a conductor simulation component, and an antifreeze protection system.

[0029] Support plates 80 are bolted to the upper surfaces of the two L-shaped fixed brackets 10. Tension sensors 20 are vertically mounted on the lower ends of the two L-shaped fixed brackets 10 via flange structures. The tension sensors 20 are vertically mounted on the lower ends of the brackets and fixed by flanges. The two L-shaped fixed brackets 10 are symmetrically clamped at the predetermined position of the transmission tower. The upper surfaces of the two L-shaped fixed brackets 10 are reinforced by bolts to ensure structural stability and enhance wind load resistance.

[0030] The clamping mechanism includes a first semi-circular clamping part 30 coaxially connected below the tension sensor 20, and a second semi-circular clamping part 31 forming a tubular clamping structure with the first semi-circular clamping part 30 by a high-strength bolt group. The inner surfaces of the first semi-circular clamping part 30 and the second semi-circular clamping part 31 are both provided with a flame-retardant layer 70, and the flame-retardant layer 70 is made of flame-retardant silicone sheet.

[0031] The conductor simulation assembly consists of a simulated conductor 40 clamped in the axial direction of the clamping mechanism. The simulated conductor 40 has the same diameter and material as the external transmission tower conductor. The first semi-circular clamping part 30 is connected to the sensor and coaxially clamps the simulated conductor 40 with the second semi-circular clamping part 31. It is fastened with high-strength bolts to form a tubular structure to ensure that the flame-retardant layer 70 adheres to the surface of the conductor.

[0032] A simulated conductor 40 with the same diameter as the real conductor is used as the simulated test object. Under the same environment, the simulated conductor 40 will be covered with ice and snow of the same weight as the conductor of the same length. The two ends of the simulated conductor 40 can be reinforced by two L-shaped fixing brackets 10 and clamping devices, which can ensure the stability of the simulated conductor 40 and avoid the signal oscillation of the tension sensor 20 caused by the wind swing of the real conductor, thus significantly improving the accuracy of the ice accretion tension data.

[0033] The antifreeze protection system includes a stainless steel protective shell 50 and a layered insulation structure disposed inside the stainless steel protective shell 50. The layered insulation structure includes, from the outside to the inside, an intermediate insulation layer 51, a self-regulating heat tracing cable 52, and an inner heat-conducting interface 53. The intermediate insulation layer 51 and the inner heat-conducting interface 53 form a closed cavity with a high-temperature resistant adhesive. The intermediate insulation layer 51 is made of high-temperature resistant rock wool to insulate against extreme external temperatures. The joint between the inner heat-conducting interface 53 and the tension sensor 20 is sealed with rubber sponge 60 to prevent moisture from entering. The inner heat-conducting interface 53 is made of copper heat-conducting sheet, which is uniformly attached to the surface of the tension sensor 20.

[0034] The self-regulating heating cable 52 automatically adjusts its power through an external temperature controller. Both the tension sensor 20 and the self-regulating heating cable 52 are connected to an external ARM controller via wires. By connecting the tension sensor 20 and the self-regulating heating cable 52 to the external ARM controller and configuring the external temperature controller, adaptive power adjustment can be achieved. Both the tension sensor 20 and the self-regulating heating cable 52 are powered by an external battery. The anti-freeze protection system is linked with the external ARM controller through the self-regulating heating cable 52 to adjust the internal temperature in real time. Combined with the copper inner thermal interface 53 and the high-temperature resistant rock wool intermediate insulation layer 51, the stable operation of the tension sensor 20 is ensured under extreme low temperatures.

[0035] Both the simulated conductor 40 and the transmission tower conductor are connected to the external conductor de-icing system (the external de-icing system is existing technology and will not be described in detail). The tension sensor 20 monitors the changes in the ice-covered tension of the simulated conductor 40 in real time. After the monitoring is completed, the external ARM controller drives the external conductor de-icing system to heat the simulated conductor 40 and the external transmission tower conductor to complete the de-icing, which is convenient for secondary measurement.

[0036] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] Simulated conductor 40 replaces real conductor: The diameter of simulated conductor 40 is the same as that of real conductor. Under the same environmental conditions, its surface ice weight and shape are equivalent to those of real conductor. Both ends are rigidly fixed by L-shaped fixed bracket 10 and clamping mechanism to avoid wind swing interference and ensure that the tension sensor 20 only detects the vertical tension change caused by the ice weight.

[0038] Flame retardant and clamping protection: The inner surface of the clamping mechanism is provided with a glass wool flame retardant layer 70 to prevent the simulated wire 40 from catching fire due to high temperature, and a tubular stable structure is formed by high-strength bolt group to ensure uniform axial force on the simulated wire 40.

[0039] Data acquisition by tension sensor 20: After the simulated wire 40 is covered with ice, its gravity is transmitted to the vertically installed tension sensor 20 through the clamping mechanism. The tension sensor 20 converts the ice-covered tension signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the external ARM controller (the external ARM controller can analyze the amount of ice, and the data algorithm of the external ARM controller is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail).

[0040] Thermal insulation and heat conduction work together: In the anti-freeze protection system, the copper inner thermal interface 53 evenly distributes the surface heat of the tension sensor 20, the self-limiting heat tracing cable 52 adjusts its power according to the instructions of the external temperature controller, and combined with the high-temperature resistant rock wool middle insulation layer 51 to isolate the external low temperature, ensuring that the sensor can still work accurately in extreme low temperature environments.

[0041] ARM controller decision: When the tension sensor 20 detects that the icing load has reached a preset threshold, the ARM controller triggers the following action:

[0042] The external de-icing system is activated to de-ice the simulated conductor 40 and the transmission tower conductors. This device can be equipped with an external camera to observe the progress of conductor de-icing.

[0043] Cyclic working mode: After the simulated conductor 40 and the conductor have finished melting ice, the device is reset and re-monitors the icing status to achieve multiple continuous measurements.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the technical solution and concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
