AI Technical Summary
Existing power cable fault location detection rods are prone to injuring operators or damaging equipment when the torsion spring is in a charged state, and the torsion spring is also prone to fatigue, resulting in structural instability and a poor user experience.
The upper and middle rods are designed with an asymmetric flat straight cross section. Combined with the locking mechanism of the deformation plate and the fixed rod, the folding and unfolding state of the rods is locked by the deformation of the deformation plate, and the total length is adjusted by the insertion rod and the return spring.
It improves the structural stability and operational safety of the detection rod, enhances the user experience, expands the scope of application, and strengthens its applicability and practicality.
