Abstract

[0002] In high-voltage power distribution systems, municipal power lines are typically laid overhead. Upon entering the project area, the overhead laying is changed to underground laying, using electrical switches on utility poles as nodes, leading to the project's substation. Due to the diversity of the external environment, factors such as lightning, rain, and humidity can often cause electrical switches to malfunction. Malfunctions will result in a power outage for the entire project, significantly impacting its normal operation. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly close the electrical switches to restore power.

However, in thunderstorms, rain, or humid environments, there are certain safety hazards when operators use the insulated operating rod in the air, which may result in electric shock.

In use, the device can be installed on the side of the utility pole. When closing the switch, the drive assembly is activated, causing the insulating operating rod to contact the electrical switch on the pole.

[0044] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by this invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.
[0045] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0046] Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0047] Considering that in normal environments, when an electrical switch malfunctions, the operator usually manually operates the switch on the utility pole using an insulated lever to return it to the closed position and restore power, the insulation resistance of all electrical components decreases in thunderstorms, rain, and humid environments. For operators, this reduced insulation resistance significantly increases the risk of electric shock. Therefore, minimizing direct contact between operators and electrical components in thunderstorms, rain, and humid environments is the most effective way to reduce the likelihood of electric shock.
[0048] Based on this, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment proposes a pole-mounted electrical switch closing device, including: a housing 110; a fixing part 120, the fixing part 120 being disposed on the top of the housing 110; an insulating operating rod 130, a portion of the insulating operating rod 130 passing through the fixing part 120 and disposed inside the housing 110; and a drive assembly 140, the drive assembly 140 being disposed inside the housing 110, the output end of the drive assembly 140 being connected to the insulating operating rod 130, for driving the insulating operating rod 130 to rise or fall relative to the housing 110.
[0049] The pole-mounted electrical switch closing device provided in this application includes a housing 110, a fixing part 120, an insulating operating rod 130, and a drive assembly 140. In use, the device can be installed on the side of the utility pole. When closing the switch, the drive assembly 140 is activated, causing the insulating operating rod 130 to contact the electrical switch on the pole. As the insulating operating rod 130 rises, the electrical switch closes. Similarly, when disconnecting the electrical switch, the drive assembly 140 is activated, causing the insulating operating rod 130 to descend, which in turn moves the electrical switch, disconnecting it. Therefore, the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device provided in this application can replace manual control of the pole-mounted electrical switch. Power can be restored by remotely or manually moving the insulating operating rod 130 to the closed position. During the closing process, staff participate remotely without directly contacting the insulated operating rod 130, which greatly reduces safety hazards in lightning, rain, and humid environments.
[0050] The pole-mounted electrical switch closing device provided in this application embodiment can reduce the frequency of direct contact between operators and electrical components, and minimize the occurrence of electric shock accidents.
[0051] Understandably, the enclosure 110 is made of insulating material to ensure the safe use of the device.
[0052] Understandably, in order to enable the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device to be adapted to utility poles of different heights or electrical switches located at different heights, the insulating operating rod 130 can be a telescopic rod.
[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, a display screen 150 is provided on the housing 110, and the display screen 150 is connected to the drive assembly 140 and the insulating operating rod 130. This arrangement facilitates the operator in confirming the status of the insulating operating rod 130.
[0054] It is understandable that the state of the insulating operating rod 130 can be equated to the state of the electrical switch on the pole. For example, when the insulating operating rod 130 is in the extended state, the electrical switch on the pole can be in the closed state. Conversely, when the insulating operating rod 130 is in the retracted state, the electrical switch on the pole is in the open state.
[0055] In one feasible embodiment, the fixing part 120 is a hollow columnar structure, and the insulating operating rod 130 passes through the fixing part 120 through the hollow columnar structure.
[0056] In this technical solution, the style of the fixing part 120 is further provided. The fixing part 120 has a hollow structure. The insulating operating rod 130 passes through the fixing part 120 through the hollow column structure. This arrangement facilitates the fixing of the insulating operating rod 130 by the fixing part 120. On the other hand, the fixing part 120 can limit the movement of the insulating operating rod 130. Furthermore, the hollow structure can guide the raising and lowering of the insulating operating rod 130, making the use of the electrical switch closing device on the pole more convenient and accurate.
[0057] In one feasible embodiment, a guide is formed on the inner wall of the fixing part 120, the guide being used to guide the movement of the insulating operating rod 130.
[0058] In this technical solution, a style of fixing part 120 is further provided. The inner wall of fixing part 120 forms a guide, and an opening can be formed on insulating operating rod 130. The guide extends into the opening. Based on limiting the lifting and lowering of insulating operating rod 130, the freedom of other directions is suppressed, making the use of the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device safer.
[0059] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the insulating operating rod 130 includes: a rod body 131, a portion of which passes through the fixing part 120 and is disposed within the housing 110; and an overlapping part 132, which is connected to one end of the rod body 131 away from the fixing part 120 and is used to overlap with an electrical switch on the rod.
[0060] In this technical solution, an insulating operating rod 130 is further provided. The insulating operating rod 130 may include a rod body 131 and an overlapping part 132. The overlapping part 132 may extend from the rod body 131. When the insulating operating rod 130 is raised or lowered, the overlapping part 132 can easily contact the electrical switch on the rod.
[0061] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the drive assembly 140 includes: a battery 141 disposed inside the housing 110; a drive member 142 to which the battery 141 is connected; and a transmission assembly 143 to which the output end of the drive member 142 is connected, and the output end of the transmission assembly 143 is connected to the insulated operating rod 130.
[0062] This technical solution further provides the structural composition of the drive assembly 140, which may include a battery 141 and a drive component 142. The battery 141 can supply power to the drive component 142, and the drive component 142 can drive the insulated operating rod 130 to rise and fall via the transmission assembly 143. The battery 141 enables independent and remote control of the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device, further reducing the probability of direct contact by operators and making the use of the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device safer.
[0063] In some examples, a voltmeter can also be formed on the housing 110 to display the remaining power of the battery 141, so that the operator can charge the battery 141 regularly.
[0064] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the transmission assembly 143 includes: a first transmission gear 1431, which is sleeved on the output end of the drive member 142, and the drive member 142 is used to drive the first transmission gear 1431 to rotate; a second transmission gear 1432, which meshes with the first transmission gear 1431; a cam 1433, which is sleeved on the second transmission gear 1432; and a connecting rod 1434, one end of which is connected to the cam 1433 and the other end of which is connected to the insulating operating rod 130, and is disposed in the fixing part 120.
[0065] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the transmission assembly 143 is further provided. The transmission assembly 143 may include a first transmission gear 1431, a second transmission gear 1432, a cam 1433, and a connecting rod 1434. During operation, the driving member 142 drives the first transmission gear 1431 to rotate, the first transmission gear 1431 drives the second transmission gear 1432 to rotate, the second transmission gear 1432 drives the cam 1433 to rotate, and the cam 1433 drives the connecting rod 1434 to rise and fall. Thus, the connecting rod 1434 can drive the insulating operating rod 130 to rise or fall, which facilitates the operation of opening and closing the electrical switch.
[0066] In one feasible implementation, the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device further includes a manual lever 160, which is connected to the second transmission gear 1432 and is used to drive the second transmission gear 1432 to rotate.
[0067] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the drive assembly 140 further includes: a signal receiver disposed inside the housing 110 and connected to the drive component 142; and a controller 144 connected to the signal receiver for controlling the start / stop and rotation direction of the drive component 142.
[0068] In this technical solution, the drive component 140 may also include a signal receiver and a controller 144. By sending a signal from the controller 144 to the signal receiver, the start-stop and rotation direction of the drive component 142 can be controlled, enabling remote control of the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device and making the use of the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device safer.
[0069] In one feasible implementation, the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device further includes a grounding cable 170, one end of which is connected to the housing 110, and the other end is used for grounding. This arrangement makes the use of the pole-mounted electrical switch closing device safer.
