Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power operation, and specifically relates to a modular structure for assembling an insulated stool. Background Technology
[0002] Insulated stools are protective devices specifically designed for electrical work, such as those used in substation maintenance, communication base station maintenance, and machining operations where insulation or working at height is required.
[0003] Most existing insulated stools are one-piece structures, which have the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Heavy and difficult to move: The overall structure results in a large weight, making it difficult for a single person to move, especially when moving between high-altitude work sites, where efficiency is low.
[0005] 2. Height is not adjustable: A single height cannot adapt to different working scenarios (such as circuit breaker maintenance, busbar wiring, etc., which require different heights).
[0006] 3. Large storage space required: Multiple sizes of insulated stools require additional storage space;
[0007] 4. Insulation risk: Frequent handling can cause wear and tear on the surface insulation layer, reducing safety.
[0008] In view of the above, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0037] The following description provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various features of the present invention. The elements and arrangements described in the specific examples below are only for concise expression of the present invention and are merely examples, not intended to limit the present invention.
[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0039] This embodiment provides a modular structure for assembling an insulated stool, including a modular platform 10 and modular support legs 20, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the modular platform 10 is provided with a slot 30 for connecting the modular support leg 20, such as... Figures 6-7 As shown, the modular support leg 20 is provided with a protrusion 40 for connecting with the slot 30, and is assembled into an insulated stool by at least one modular platform 10 and at least four support legs.
[0040] It should be noted that both the modular platform 10 and the modular support leg 20 are made of insulating materials.
[0041] For example, the modular support leg 20 of this utility model has two specifications: 30cm and 50cm in length, and the protrusion 40 is of a uniform specification. The modular support leg 20 includes specifications with protrusions 40 at both ends and specifications with protrusions 40 at only one end. The modular platform 10 can be set in multiple specifications. The modular platform 10 of multiple specifications includes multiple flat plates with gradually decreasing planar areas. Each of the four corners of the bottom surface of the multiple flat plates is provided with a slot 30, and the top surface of the multiple flat plates is provided with four slots 30 arranged in a rectangle. The modular platforms 10 of multiple specifications can be assembled into a stepped insulated stool. Multiple heights from 40cm to 2m can be achieved through modular combination (increasing in 30cm / 50cm modules). For multiple heights from 40cm to 2m, a set of modular support legs 20 plus modular platform 10 of 30cm is the lowest height of 40cm. Multiple sets of modular support legs 20 plus modular platform 10 can be continuously stacked according to needs, up to a maximum height of 2m for safety reasons.
[0042] When the modular platform 10 is configured with two specifications, the modular platform 10 includes a first insulating platform and a second insulating platform. The planar area of the first insulating platform is larger than that of the second insulating platform. The four slots 30 on the top surface of the first insulating platform correspond to the slots 30 on the four corners of the bottom surface of the second insulating platform.
[0043] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, this figure is a top view of the first insulating platform. Four slots 30 are provided at one end of the upper surface of the first insulating platform, as... Figure 2 As shown, this figure is a bottom view of the first insulating platform, with four slots 30 provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the first insulating platform. It should be noted that... Figure 1 , Figure 2 This could also be a schematic diagram of the second insulating platform. It should be noted that if the purpose is simply to assemble an insulating staircase with a maximum of two layers, then the upper surface of the second insulating platform may not have the slots 30. However, for large-scale mass production, the slots 30 on the lower surface of all modular platforms 10 are located at the four corners, and the four slots 30 on the upper surface are located at... Figure 1 As shown, at one end, that is, at two adjacent corners of the modular platform 10, no slots 30 are provided, while slots 30 are provided at the other two corners. At the middle of the modular platform 10, two slots 30 are provided that correspond to the slots 30 provided at the two corners.
[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the slot 30 and the protrusion 40 are fixed together by an insulating bolt 60. This has the advantage of improving the connection stability of the modular platform 10 and the modular support leg 20. For example, the slot 30 and the protrusion 40 are reinforced by screwing in the insulating bolt 60 (torque ≤ 10 N·m).
[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a screw hole 50 with a through slot 30 is provided on the side of the modular platform 10. This has the advantage of improving the ease of connection.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, a threaded hole 50 is provided through the protrusion 40 on its side. This has the advantage of improving the ease of connection.
[0047] In some embodiments, the slot 30 is configured as a rectangle. This has the advantage of further improving the stability of the connection between the slot 30 and the protrusion 40.
[0048] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the slot 30 is adapted to the outer diameter of the protrusion 40.
[0049] In some embodiments, the modular support leg 20 is internally filled with lightweight insulating foam. This reduces the weight of the modular support leg 20, making it easier to handle, install, and disassemble.
[0050] In some embodiments, the modular support leg 20 is integrally formed with the protrusion 40.
[0051] In some embodiments, the card slot 30 and the protrusion 40 are fully insulated; this can be achieved by covering the card slot 30 and the protrusion 40 with insulating material or by spraying insulating material; this ensures that no metal is exposed and improves safety.
[0052] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, this is a stepped insulated stool assembled using the modular platform 10 and modular support legs 20 of this utility model.
