Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spacers, and more particularly to an electrically detachable spacer. Background Technology
[0002] The main purpose of spacers is to limit the relative movement between sub-conductors and maintain the geometry of split conductors under normal operating conditions. They can also play a certain role in suppressing oscillations and aerobatic vibrations in the secondary span.
[0003] Under extreme natural conditions, such as rain, snow, ice, high altitude, strong ultraviolet radiation, and frequent strong winds (e.g., Ganzi, Aba, Northeast China), spacers are subjected to greater mechanical stress and radiation, which may shorten their service life. Regular inspections are required to check for wear on the spacer hardware, cracks in the insulation layer, and other issues. If serious defects are found, the spacer needs to be replaced in time. A spacer that can be used for live installation and disassembly of drones needs to be designed. Currently, existing products on the market only consider the ease of installation for drones, but do not consider the ease of disassembly. After installation, disassembly can only be done manually, which greatly increases the difficulty of later operation and maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design an electrically detachable spacer to solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A detachable spacer with electrical charge, comprising:
[0007] Spacer bar body;
[0008] Two connecting seats; the two connecting seats are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the spacer body;
[0009] Two removable mounting pieces; one removable mounting piece for removable securing of a connector to a cable; each removable mounting piece includes;
[0010] First clamping end; the first clamping end is fixed on the connecting seat;
[0011] Second clamping end; when the spacer body is connected to the cable, both sides of the cable are pressed and contacted with the clamping surfaces of the first clamping end and the second clamping end respectively, and the second clamping end is installed on the connector.
[0012] Adjusting element; the adjusting element is used to adjust the distance between the clamping surfaces of the first clamping end and the second clamping end;
[0013] Drive connector; the drive connector is used to transmit an external power source to the regulating component.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: An external power source can be transmitted to the adjusting component via the drive connector. When installing the spacer, the drone hoists the spacer to the installation position, with the cable positioned between the clamping surfaces of the first and second clamping ends. Then, the drone applies power as an external power source to drive the adjusting component, reducing the distance between the clamping surfaces of the first and second clamping ends until both sides of the cable are pressed into contact with the clamping surfaces of the first and second clamping ends, thus fixing the spacer. When disassembling the spacer, the drone applies power as an external power source to drive the adjusting component, increasing the distance between the clamping surfaces of the first and second clamping ends until the distance between the first and second clamping ends allows the cable to pass through, thus disassembling the spacer. The entire process requires no power interruption and no manual climbing for disassembly. Furthermore, after disassembly, all components except the spacer body can be reused.

[0037] Drive connector; the drive connector is used to transmit an external power source to the regulating component.
[0038] The adjusting components include:
[0039] At least one threaded rod 5; the threaded rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 2, the first clamping end 3 is provided with at least one threaded through hole, one threaded rod 5 is threadedly connected to one threaded through hole of the first clamping end 3, and the first clamping end 3 is movably mounted on the connecting seat 2;
[0040] At least one worm gear 6; the rotation center of one worm gear 6 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 5, and the worm gear 6 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 2;
[0041] Worm 7; Worm 7 is rotatably mounted on connecting seat 2. Worm 7 is meshed with worm wheel 6. The drive connector is used to transmit an external power source to worm 7 and drive worm 7 to rotate.
[0042] There are two threaded rods 5, and the two sides of the worm 7 are respectively engaged with two worm gears 6.
[0043] The threads of the two threaded rods 5 are in opposite directions, and the threads of the two threaded through holes are in opposite directions.
[0044] The drive connector includes a polygonal prism 8 and a strong magnet 9. The rotation center of the polygonal prism 8 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the worm gear 7, and the polygonal prism 8 is fixedly connected to the strong magnet 9.
[0045] The connecting seat 2 is provided with a mounting cavity 10, and the adjusting component is installed in the mounting cavity 10. The connecting seat 2 is provided with a lifting ring 11. When the spacer is installed or removed, the lifting ring 11 is used for hoisting and connecting the UAV.
[0046] The clamping surfaces of the first clamping end 3 and the second clamping end 4 are V-shaped structures. Mounting pads 12 are fixedly installed on the clamping surfaces. The mounting pads 12 are vulcanized rubber products, which are resistant to aging and play a buffering role in the process of clamping the cable.
[0047] An electrically detachable spacer also includes two sets of insulating connectors, one set of which is used for a fixed connection between a connector 2 and one end of the spacer body 1.
[0048] Each set of insulating connectors includes a first insulating rod 13 and a second insulating rod 14. The first end of the first insulating rod 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the spacer body 1. The second end of the first insulating rod 13 and the first end of the second insulating rod 14 are each provided with a row of connecting holes 15. The row of connecting holes 15 includes at least two connecting holes 15. The second end of the first insulating rod 13 and the first end of the second insulating rod 14 are fixedly connected by insulating bolts.

[0050] The working principle of this utility model of a detachable, electrically powered spacer is as follows:
[0051] The external power source can be transmitted to the adjusting component through the drive connector. When installing the spacer, the drone hoists the spacer to the installation position. The cable is located between the clamping surfaces of the first clamping end 3 and the second clamping end 4. Then, the drone applies power as an external power source to drive the adjusting component to start, reducing the distance between the clamping surfaces of the first clamping end 3 and the second clamping end 4 until both sides of the cable are pressed into contact with the clamping surfaces of the first clamping end 3 and the second clamping end 4, thus fixing the spacer. When disassembling the spacer, the drone applies power as an external power source to drive the adjusting component to start, increasing the distance between the clamping surfaces of the first clamping end 3 and the second clamping end 4 until the distance between the first clamping end 3 and the second clamping end 4 is large enough for the cable to pass through, thus disassembling the spacer. The entire process does not require power interruption and does not require manual climbing for disassembly. After disassembly, except for the spacer body 1, the other parts can be reused.
[0052] The connector 2 uses the self-locking principle of the worm gear 6 and worm 7 in conjunction with the threaded rod 5 to reliably clamp the cable. Considering the convenience of drone installation, the connector 2 can be customized with the insulating rod at an angle of 0~270 degrees through the setting of the adjustment hole 16. This effectively solves the problem that the spacer rod is not convenient for drone operation when it is installed in a "triangular" or "vertical" position.
[0053] The technical solution of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. All technical modifications made based on the technical solution of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
