AI Technical Summary
The screws on the existing railway catenary clamps loosen during long-term use, leading to instability. Furthermore, the clamp width cannot be adjusted to accommodate lines of different distances, resulting in inconvenience and potential accident risks.
The first and second clamping blocks are connected by a mortise and tenon joint. Combined with the suspension fixing block and threaded hole, the stability is increased by the self-locking connection between the mortise and tenon block and the mortise and tenon groove. The clamping width can be adjusted by the suspension fixing block and the threaded hole, and the clamping effect is enhanced by fastening screws and fixing blocks.
The stability of the wire clamp has been improved, and the amplitude attenuation rate has been increased by 65%, making the device more stable when a train passes at 350km/h. It can also adapt to the wire clamping requirements at different distances, making it more convenient to use.

[0003] A search revealed that the document with announcement number "CN221497726U" mentions that "this utility model provides a wire clamp for railway contact networks, including clamping plates and locking components. Two clamping plates are provided, which can be joined together. After joining, the two clamping plates form a connecting part at the top for connection by a positioning pin, and a locking channel at the bottom for the contact wire to pass through and for limiting and clamping the contact wire. At least two locking components are provided, which can lock the joined clamping plates. The wire clamp for railway contact networks provided by this utility model has two structurally similar..." The clamping plate has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, saves manufacturing costs, and is highly practical. It clamps the contact wire using two clamping plates and secures it with locating pins and locking components, thus completing the contact wire clamping. Installation is convenient, and the structure is simple and easy to produce. However, in application, because it uses screws for fixing, these screws may loosen over long-term use, making the device unstable and potentially causing accidents. Furthermore, the device cannot adjust the clamping width when clamping wires of different distances, making it inconvenient to use.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a railway overhead contact line clamp. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, a fastening screw is provided below the first suspension fixing block, and one end of the fastening screw passes through the first clamping block and is fixedly connected to a fixing block.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0009] The grounding wire is clamped by the mutual clamping of the first clamping block and the second clamping block. The clamping width can be adjusted when clamping wires of different distances by means of the first suspension block and the first threaded hole, the second suspension block and the second threaded hole, so that the device is easy to use. The connection between the tenon block and the tenon groove, and the self-locking design of the tenon, improve the stability of the wire clamp by 65% higher amplitude attenuation rate than that of the screw when a train passes by at 350km / h.
[0010] By using fastening screws and retaining clips, the contact wire can be made more stable. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, a railway contact wire clamp includes a first clamping block 1 and a second clamping block 2. Fixing bolts 11 are provided at the four outer corners of the first clamping block 1. A first suspension fixing block 12 is provided on one side of the first clamping block 1, and a first threaded hole 13 is opened through the center of the first suspension fixing block 12. A threaded rod is provided inside the first threaded hole 13. A tenon block 14 is provided on the other side of the first clamping block 1, and a contact wire 15 is provided below the tenon block 14. A second clamping block 2 is provided on one side of the tenon block 14, and fixing threaded openings 21 are provided at the four corners of one side of the second clamping block 2. The inner diameter of the fixing threaded openings 21 matches the outer diameter of the fixing bolts 11. On the other side of the second clamping block 2, a second suspension fixing block 22 is provided. A second threaded hole 23 is opened through the center of the second suspension fixing block 22. A threaded rod is provided in the second threaded hole 23. A tenon groove 24 is opened on one side of the second clamping block 2.
