[0002] In mine operations, electric locomotives, as crucial transportation equipment, are prone to bending and deformation due to the long-term effects of the tunnel environment (such as humidity, dust, and mechanical vibration) and frequent movement. Since underground electric locomotive overhead lines are typically bare wires without insulation, deformation not only increases transmission loss and affects power supply stability, but can also lead to breakage or short circuits due to localized stress concentration in the exposed conductors, directly threatening mine electrical safety. Furthermore, working with bare cables while they are energized poses a higher risk of electric shock to operators. Therefore, safe and efficient straightening and maintenance of cables has become a critical challenge in mine equipment management. Utility Model Content

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the underground locomotive overhead line straightening tool in this embodiment mainly consists of a rod 1, a roller mounting frame 2, rollers 5, and a high-voltage detector 8. The components are mechanically connected and functionally integrated to achieve the dual functions of cable straightening and voltage detection.

[0023] The rod body 1 serves as the main body of the tool, with an insulating sleeve 9 at its end to ensure operator safety. A fixing clamp 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rod body 1 for detachable installation of the high-voltage detector 8, and a roller mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to one end. The roller mounting bracket 2 has an L-shaped structure, and a reinforcing rib 6 is provided at the connection between the roller mounting bracket 2 and the rod body 1 to improve structural strength.

[0024] The roller mounting bracket 2 has a single mounting hole 4 at one end to fix a roller 5, and multiple mounting holes 4 (such as 3-5 evenly distributed holes) at the other end to connect another roller 5 with bolts, so as to realize the position adjustment of the roller 5 at this end.

[0025] The middle part of roller 5 is machined into an arc-shaped concave structure, with the curvature matching the outer diameter of common mining cables, such as Φ20-Φ50mm, to ensure that the cable is not easily slipped after being embedded. A through hole 3 is opened at the end, which is aligned with the mounting hole 4 and fixed by bolts. The rollers at the multi-hole end of the roller mounting bracket 2 can adjust the spacing by selecting different hole positions. The adjustment of the position of roller 5 can adapt to various bending sections on the cable.

[0026] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The high-voltage detector 8 consists of a handle 81, a telescopic sleeve 82, a circuit module 83, and a detection probe 84. The handle 81 is made of insulating material and can be detachably installed in the fixing block 7 of the pole body 1. The telescopic sleeve 82 adopts a multi-stage sleeve structure and can be manually stretched and adjusted in length ranging from 0.3 to 1.2m to meet different working distance requirements. The detection probe 84 is made of metal and is connected to alarm devices such as LED lights and buzzers through the voltage detection chip in the circuit module 83 to realize the live detection function.

[0027] The mounting structure of the fixing block 7 is as follows Figure 4 The fixing clamp 7 adopts a split design, including clamp block one 71, which is fixedly welded to the middle of the rod body 1, with a semi-cylindrical groove 73 on its inner side; and clamp block two 72, which is connected to clamp block one 71 by bolts, with another semi-cylindrical groove 73 on its inner side at a corresponding position. The two together form a complete cylindrical chamber. The handle 81 of the high-voltage detector is inserted into the groove 73, and the bolts are tightened to clamp the handle 81 with clamp block one 71 and clamp block two 72, achieving detachable fixing.

[0028] Working principle: 1) Cable straightening operation: Adjust the position of the rollers at the multi-hole end of the roller mounting bracket 2 according to the cable diameter: After adjusting the rollers to the appropriate hole positions, fix them. Hold the rod 1 and insert the cable into the arc-shaped recess of the two rollers, then turn the tool like a wrench to straighten the bent part of the cable.

[0029] 2) Voltage detection function: Before straightening, stretch the telescopic sleeve 82 to the required length. Place the detection probe 84 in contact with the cable. If the circuit module 83 detects an induced voltage, it will trigger an audible and visual alarm to indicate that the cable is energized, ensuring operational safety.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
