Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model applies to the field of grounding wire technology, and particularly relates to a grounding wire with an alligator clip. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the grounding wire is the wire that is directly connected to the earth, and can also be called the safety return line. In case of danger, it directly transfers the high voltage to the earth, and is a lifeline.
[0003] However, currently, grounding wires are connected to corresponding terminals using hooks. This connection method is not only unstable but also incompatible with terminals of different diameters, resulting in poor overall applicability. Furthermore, the overall length of the connecting cable cannot be adjusted, leading to situations where the cable terminals cannot guarantee a sufficient and stable connection with the terminals. Therefore, we propose a grounding wire with alligator clips. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a grounding wire with an alligator clip, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A grounding wire with an alligator clip includes two sets of mounting plates. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted between the middle ends of the sides of the two sets of mounting plates via a bearing. A take-up roller is fixedly sleeved at the middle end of the outer side of the rotating rod.
[0007] A connecting cable is slidably inserted through the inside of the take-up roller. A conductive post is fixedly connected to the top of the side of the connecting cable. A first snap-fit shell is fixedly installed on the side of the conductive post. A second snap-fit shell is rotatably installed on the side of the first snap-fit shell. The inner sides of both the first snap-fit shell and the second snap-fit shell are provided with intersecting serrations.
[0008] Both sides of the take-up roller are provided with take-up guide mechanisms.
[0009] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, the winding guide mechanism includes a guide rod and a movable plate. A fixed plate is fixedly installed at the middle of both ends of the side of the mounting plate. A guide rod is fixedly installed between the middle ends of the sides of the two sets of fixed plates. A sliding sleeve is slidably sleeved at both ends of the outer side of each guide rod. A connecting column is vertically fixedly installed at the top of the outer side of each sliding sleeve. A movable plate is fixedly installed at the top of each connecting column. A movable groove is opened in the middle of each movable plate, and a connecting cable is slidably installed inside the movable groove.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding sleeve and movable plate are guided and slid by the guide rod, and the connecting cable inserted inside can move horizontally on the outside of the guide rod in sync. This allows for sliding adjustment of the winding position of the connecting cable on the take-up roller, so that the connecting cable can be evenly wound on the outside of the take-up roller. At the same time, it is convenient to adjust the connection length of the connecting cable to improve the applicability of the overall mechanism's grounding connection.
[0011] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, the winding roller has a snap-fit groove in the middle, and the connecting cable slides through and is inserted into the snap-fit groove in the middle.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting cable can be wound up through the structure of the snap-fit groove, so that when the winding roller rotates, both sides of the connecting cable can be wound up synchronously.
[0013] As an optional solution to the technical solution of this application, a transmission column is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting plate, and the middle part of the side of the transmission column and the top end of the side of the rotating rod are fixedly connected. A push plate is fixedly mounted on the middle of the outer side of the transmission column.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. A grounding wire with alligator clips according to the technical solution of this application, wherein a take-up roller is rotatably installed between the two sides inside the mounting plate, and a snap-fit groove is opened inside the take-up roller. After the connecting cable is inserted through the snap-fit groove, the operator can rotate the take-up roller and, with the guide rods located on both sides outside the mounting plate guiding the sliding sleeve, the sliding sleeve can drive the connecting cable inserted inside to move horizontally on the outside of the guide rods. This allows for sliding adjustment of the winding position of the connecting cable on the take-up roller, so that the connecting cable can be evenly wound on the outside of the take-up roller, while facilitating the adjustment of the connection length of the connecting cable and improving the applicability of the grounding connection of the overall mechanism.
[0016] 2. A grounding wire with alligator clips according to the technical solution of this application, by providing a first locking shell and a second locking shell that can rotate relative to each other on the side of the connecting cable, the first locking shell and the second locking shell can form a corresponding alligator clip. After the first locking shell and the second locking shell can rotate relative to each other, the first locking shell and the second locking shell can clamp on the outside of the terminals of different diameters, thereby enabling the grounding connection of the connecting cable and the terminals, and further improving the applicability of the grounding connection of the overall mechanism.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a grounding wire with an alligator clip, a rotating rod 11 is rotatably mounted between the middle of the sides of two sets of mounting plates 1 via a bearing, a take-up roller 12 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the outer side of the rotating rod 11, a connecting cable 13 is slidably inserted through the inside of the take-up roller 12, a conductive post 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the side of the connecting cable 13, a first snap-fit shell 15 is fixedly mounted on the side of the conductive post 14, a second snap-fit shell 16 is rotatably mounted on the side of the first snap-fit shell 15, and the inner sides of both the first snap-fit shell 15 and the second snap-fit shell 16 are provided with interlaced serrations.
[0022] In this technical solution (through Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a fixing plate 2 is fixedly installed at the middle of both ends of the side of the mounting plate 1. A guide rod 21 is fixedly installed between the middle ends of the two sets of fixing plates 2. A sliding sleeve 22 is slidably sleeved at both ends of the outer side of each guide rod 21. A connecting column 23 is vertically fixedly installed at the top of the outer side of each sliding sleeve 22. A movable plate 24 is fixedly installed at the top of each connecting column 23.
[0023] In this technical solution (through Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown), a transmission column 3 is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting plate 1, and the middle part of the side of the transmission column 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the side of the rotating rod 11. A push plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the middle of the outer side of the transmission column 3.
[0024] In this technical solution (through Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, each movable plate 24 has a movable groove 25 in the middle, and the connecting cable 13 is slidably installed inside the movable groove 25.
[0025] In some technical solutions (through Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the take-up roller 12 has a snap-fit groove 26 in the middle, and the connecting cable 13 slides through and is inserted into the snap-fit groove 26.
[0026] During operation, when grounding of the terminal block is required, both ends of the connecting cable 13 are pulled synchronously, allowing the connecting cable 13 to rotate and unfold from both sides of the take-up roller 12. This adjusts the position of the clamp formed by the first and second clamping shells 15 and 16 on the side of the connecting cable 13, extending the connection length of the connecting cable 13 until the first and second clamping shells 15 and 16 are close to the terminal block. Then, the first clamping shell 15 is pressed, causing its side to rotate and open from the side wall of the second clamping shell 16. After the first and second clamping shells 15 and 16 are fitted onto the outside of the grounding terminal block, the pressure on the first clamping shell 15 is released, and the torsion spring connecting the first and second clamping shells 15 and 16 returns to its original position. The first and second snap-fit shells 15 and 16 can be rotated back to their original positions and clamped to the outside of the grounding terminal. This allows the conductive post 14 to connect the connecting cable 13 and the snap-fit shells for electrical conduction. After the electrical conduction is completed, the first and second snap-fit shells 15 and 16 are pressed to separate them from the outside of the grounding terminal. Then, the push plate 31 is turned to rotate the take-up roller 12. Simultaneously, the guide rod 21 guides the sliding sleeve 22, which in turn moves the movable plate 24 horizontally. This allows the winding position of the connecting cable 13 to be adjusted by the translation of the movable plate 24, so that the take-up roller 12 can wind and rewind the connecting cable 13.
