Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of line maintenance technology, and in particular to a small ladder for offline maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] Line maintenance refers to the work carried out on power transmission lines based on problems discovered during inspections, tests, and examinations. The aim is to eliminate defects, improve equipment health, prevent accidents, and ensure the safe operation of the lines. The importance of line maintenance is mainly reflected in the following aspects: preventing potential faults: regular maintenance can promptly identify and address these potential safety hazards, thereby avoiding power outages caused by sudden faults; extending equipment lifespan: regular maintenance not only helps identify potential problems but also allows for necessary maintenance and upkeep of equipment, slowing down its aging process and extending its lifespan, saving power companies significant replacement costs; improving system safety: power lines are a crucial component of the power system, and their safety directly affects the stable operation of the entire power system. Regular maintenance ensures the normal operation of the lines, thereby improving the overall safety of the power system.

[0003] During line maintenance, because the insulator strings of branch lines are nearly 3 meters long, maintenance personnel often step on the insulator skirts and equipotential rings when going down the line for maintenance, which often causes damage to the skirts and equipotential rings. This results in a reduction in the overall creepage distance of the insulator and uneven distribution of induced voltage at both ends of the insulator. This hidden danger can easily cause insulator flashover, breakdown, and grounding, leading to line tripping. In particular, tripping of important interconnecting lines can easily cause regional power supply imbalance, resulting in significant production losses. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the small ladder includes a main structure and a hook structure. The main structure consists of an insulated foot pedal 1 and a first connecting belt 2.

[0027] The top and bottom of the insulated foot pedal 1 are respectively provided with a second connecting belt 3 and a third connecting belt 5, and a tensioner 4 is provided on the side of the second connecting belt 3 away from the first connecting belt 2.

[0028] Specifically, there are several insulated foot pedals 1, all of the same size and shape. The number of first connecting straps 2 is one less than the number of insulated foot pedals 1. The number of insulated foot pedals 1 can be freely increased or decreased according to usage needs, making it more practical.

[0029] In addition, a stepping part is provided in the middle of the interior of the insulated foot pedal 1. Fixing holes are provided at the top and bottom of the interior of the insulated foot pedal 1. The first connecting strap 2, the second connecting strap 3 and the third connecting strap 5 are respectively provided inside the corresponding fixing holes. Several insulated foot pedals 1 are connected to each other through fixing holes and the first connecting strap 2.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fixing hole facilitates the installation of the first connecting strip 2 and prevents the first connecting strip 2 from accidentally falling off.

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the hook structure consists of a connecting ring 6, a hook 7, and a self-locking device 8. The connecting ring 6 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the third connecting band 5, the hook 7 is located at the bottom of the outer surface of the connecting ring 6, and the self-locking device 8 is located inside the hook 7. The hook 7 is movably connected to the third connecting band 5 through the connecting ring 6. The self-locking device 8 includes a pin and a baffle. The pin is located inside the hook 7 and both ends extend to the outside of the hook 7. The baffle is located inside the hook 7 and both ends are connected to the two ends of the pin.

[0032] It should be noted that the hook 7 has a torsion spring inside that is connected to the pin. The side of the baffle near the pin has enough room for movement. Under the action of the torsion spring, the baffle abuts against the inside of the hook 7.

[0033] In this embodiment, the self-locking device 8 enables the hook 7 to be automatically locked, thus enhancing security.

[0034] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the hook structure also includes an unlocking device 9, which consists of a pull tab and a pull rod. There are two pull tabs, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the outer surface of the baffle. The pull rod is located between the opposite sides of the pull tabs.

[0035] It should be noted that a locking bar is also provided on the opposite side of the unlocking device 9, which fits against the outer surface of the hook 7. The positions of the pull tab and the stop tab correspond to each other to avoid affecting the normal use of the hook 7 due to obstruction.

[0036] In this embodiment, the unlocking device 9 facilitates the opening of the self-locking device 8 and makes it convenient to use.

[0037] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0038] After the workers climb the tower, they hang the hook 7 at the insulator suspension point on the tower crossarm and place the insulated foot pedal 1 at the conductor. The maintenance personnel can then go up and down from there. By pulling the unlocking device 9, the self-locking device 8 can be moved, which can easily open the self-locking device 8.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
