Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable marker technology, and in particular to a rapid laying device for buried cable markers. Background Technology
[0002] In complex power or communication systems, cables are numerous and varied, with different uses, connection methods, and operating environments. As these systems expand and technology advances, cable management and maintenance become increasingly important, necessitating the use of cable markers. A cable marker is a device used to identify cables, designed to improve identification efficiency and security. Through clear, durable labels or coding systems, it enables workers to quickly identify the type, purpose, and connection location of cables.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent "An Auxiliary Device for Embedding Electronic Identifiers" (authorization announcement number CN207424893U). This utility model discloses an auxiliary device for embedding electronic identifiers, comprising a hollow probe and a T-shaped handle. A stud is fixed to the lower end of the probe, and a threaded sleeve is screwed onto the stud. A pressure plate is fixed to the lower end of the threaded sleeve. A column is fixed to the upper end of the probe, with a groove extending through both sides on the upper surface of the column. A shaft hole communicating with the inner cavity of the probe is formed in the middle of the column. The crossbar of the handle is placed in the groove of the column, and the connecting post of the handle extends into the inner cavity of the probe through the shaft hole of the column. A locking head is provided at the lower end of the outer peripheral wall of the probe, comprising a connecting part and a hook part. A connecting ring is fixed in the middle of the connecting part, and a traction rope is attached to the connecting ring. All traction ropes corresponding to the locking heads pass through rope holes on the probe and are connected to a main rope. The main rope is connected to the connecting post through a first spring. It has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, easy use and strong practicality, which can improve the standardization of electronic tag installation and the working performance after installation.
[0004] While the aforementioned auxiliary devices can help personnel bury the markers, the burying depth is determined by the personnel themselves using a hand probe, lacking a reference depth standard. Furthermore, in actual use, one person must maintain the preset depth of the marker while another person pre-fills the soil onto the surface of the marker to ensure that the marker is at the specified depth. Therefore, the overall process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, and human error can easily lead to inconsistent burying depths of the markers. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a rapid laying device for buried cable markers to address the problem that the aforementioned marker auxiliary burial devices lack depth reference standards, which easily leads to inconsistent marker burial depths.
[0006] A rapid laying device for buried cable markers includes: a laying pole and a mechanical claw at its lower end, wherein the marker body is installed inside the mechanical claw;
[0007] An auxiliary component is disposed on the surface of the laying pole and can limit the laying depth of the marker body, while also pre-stabilizing the marker body.
[0008] The auxiliary component includes a grounding plate disposed on the surface of the laying pole, and a pressing rod disposed inside the grounding plate, the lower end of which contacts the marker body.
[0009] In one embodiment, the auxiliary component further includes a pressing sleeve that slides vertically on the surface of the laying rod. The upper end of the pressing rod is fixedly connected to the pressing sleeve. A spring is fixedly connected to the upper part of the pressing sleeve. A fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper end of the spring. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the laying rod.
[0010] In one embodiment, four pressing rods are arranged in a circular array around the laying rod as the axis, and the pressing rods are located between the two grippers of the mechanical claw.
[0011] In one embodiment, the surface of the grounding plate is provided with a groove, and an extension plate slides horizontally in the groove, and four extension plates are provided.
[0012] In one embodiment, a sleeve fitted onto the surface of the laying rod is fixedly connected to the lower part of the grounding plate, and a locking device is provided at the lower part of the sleeve.
[0013] In one embodiment, the surface of the sleeve is threaded with a threaded sleeve, the upper part of the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to a sliding sleeve by a bearing, the surface of the sliding sleeve is movably connected to a support rod by a rotating shaft, and the upper end of the support rod is movably connected to an extension plate by a rotating shaft.
[0014] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the groove is provided with a sliding groove, and a protrusion is provided in the sliding groove, the protrusion being located on the side of the extension plate.
[0015] In one embodiment, a button is provided at the upper end of the laying rod, and the button is electrically connected to the mechanical gripper.
[0016] Beneficial effects
[0017] 1. By setting auxiliary components such as sleeves, locking devices, and grounding plates, workers can easily limit the depth of the laying rod extending into the pre-buried hole, ensuring that the lowering depth of the marker body remains consistent. Furthermore, by using the grounding plate to overlap at the hole opening to limit the laying rod, it is possible to keep the laying rod and the marker body below it vertical. At the same time, by using threaded sleeves, sliding sleeves, and support rods, multiple extension plates can be extended outward from the groove of the grounding plate, thereby increasing the contact area between the grounding plate and the pre-buried hole opening, thus making it suitable for pre-buried holes of different sizes.
[0018] 2. After the workers use the laying rod and mechanical claw to lower the marker body to the bottom of the pre-buried hole, by pressing down the pressing sleeve, the lower ends of the four pressing rods can simultaneously squeeze the marker body into the soil of the pre-buried hole, so that the lower part of the marker body penetrates into the soil to achieve the pre-positioning effect, which can keep the marker body vertical during subsequent burial operations.

[0027] 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.
[0028] The following is combined Figure 1 - Figure 5 This invention describes a rapid laying device for buried cable markers.
[0029] In one embodiment, the buried cable marker rapid laying device includes: a laying pole 2 and a mechanical claw 3 at its lower end, wherein the marker body 1 is disposed inside the mechanical claw 3;
[0030] Auxiliary component 4 is disposed on the surface of laying rod 2 and can limit the laying depth of marker body 1, and can also pre-stabilize marker body 1.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary component 4 includes a grounding plate 403 disposed on the surface of the laying pole 2;
[0032] First, the staff used a drilling device to drill holes at the locations where the pre-embedded parts needed to be installed;
[0033] Then, the staff can adjust the height of the grounding plate according to the depth of the pre-buried hole. When the depth of the pre-buried hole reaches the pre-buried depth, the staff can use the mechanical claw 3 to clamp the marker body 1, and then insert the lower end of the laying rod 2 into the pre-buried hole and lower it. When the bottom of the grounding plate 403 contacts the ground of the pre-buried hole, the marker body 1 will also touch the bottom in the pre-buried hole. At this time, the horizontally set grounding plate 403 contacts the ground, which can keep the laying rod 2 vertical.
[0034] When the depth of the pre-embedded hole is relatively deep, the grounding plate 403 can limit the downward movement of the length of the laying rod 2 after it is inserted into the pre-embedded hole and reaches a certain depth;
[0035] If the above method is used, then after the marker body 1 is lowered to the specified depth and limited by the grounding plate 403, the personnel need to backfill a portion of the soil into the pre-embedded hole in advance, so that the amount of soil backfill reaches the lower end face of the marker body 1, and the desired pre-embedded hole depth can be achieved, so that the pre-embedded depth of the marker body 1 remains consistent.
[0036] The surface of the grounding plate 403 is provided with a groove, and an extension plate 404 slides horizontally in the groove. Four extension plates 404 are provided. The lower part of the grounding plate 403 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 407 that is fitted onto the surface of the laying rod 2. A locking device 406 is provided at the lower part of the sleeve 407. A threaded sleeve 409 is threadedly connected to the surface of the sleeve 407. A sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper part of the threaded sleeve 409 through a bearing. A support rod 408 is movably connected to the surface of the sliding sleeve through a rotating shaft. The upper end of the support rod 408 is movably connected to the extension plate 404 through a rotating shaft. A groove 410 is provided on the inner wall of the groove. A protrusion 411 is provided in the groove 410. The protrusion 411 is located on the side of the extension plate 404.
[0037] When encountering some larger pre-embedded holes, the staff can also screw the threaded sleeve 409 upwards. At this time, the sliding sleeve will drive the support rod 408 to push outwards. Then the extension plate 404 at the other end of the support rod 408 will move horizontally outwards along the groove, thereby expanding the grounding area of the grounding plate 403 to achieve the effect of adapting to different pre-embedded holes.
[0038] The grounding plate 403 has a pressing rod 405 inside, and the lower end of the pressing rod 405 contacts the marker body 1; the auxiliary component 4 also includes a pressing sleeve 401 that slides vertically on the surface of the laying rod 2, the upper end of the pressing rod 405 is fixedly connected to the pressing sleeve 401, the upper part of the pressing sleeve 401 is fixedly connected to a spring 402, the upper end of the spring 402 is fixedly connected to a fixing sleeve, and the inner wall of the fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the laying rod 2; four pressing rods 405 are arranged in a circular array with the laying rod 2 as the axis, and the pressing rods 405 are located between the two grippers of the mechanical claw 3;
[0039] When the marker body 1 is placed at the bottom of the pre-buried hole, the worker presses down the pressing sleeve 401, which simultaneously causes the lower ends of the four pressing rods 405 to squeeze the marker body 1 into the soil of the pre-buried hole, so that the lower part of the marker body 1 penetrates into the soil to achieve the pre-positioning effect. Finally, the worker presses the button, which causes the mechanical claw 3 to release the marker body 1 and backfill the pre-buried hole, thus completing the laying operation of the marker body 1.
[0040] A button is provided at the upper end of the laying rod 2, and the button is electrically connected to the mechanical claw 3;
[0041] When gripping the marker body 1, first press the button on the top of the laying rod 2, then generate an electrical signal and transmit it through the wire to the power unit of the mechanical claw 3 to control the mechanical claw 3 to clamp and release the marker body 1.
[0042] The button is a waterproof, accident-proof, and self-resetting button. A multi-core cable is pre-embedded inside the laying pole 2. The main control unit is a relay module.
[0043] When installing the marker body 1, the following specifications should be noted: one marker should be buried every 25 meters directly above the cable; the marker body 1 should be kept away from metal pipes to avoid electromagnetic interference; it is recommended that the direct burial depth be between 50 and 80 centimeters, with the characters facing upwards and buried vertically; if encountering loose soil areas, PVC pipes should be added for reinforcement.
[0044] Working principle: In actual use, the staff first drills a hole at the location to be buried using a drilling device. Then, the staff adjusts the height of the grounding plate according to the depth of the burial hole. When the depth of the burial hole reaches the burial depth, the staff uses the mechanical claw 3 to clamp the marker body 1. Then, the lower end of the laying rod 2 is inserted into the burial hole and lowered. When the bottom of the grounding plate contacts the ground at the burial hole opening, the marker body 1 will also touch the bottom in the burial hole. At this time, the horizontally set ground plate 403 contacts the ground, which keeps the laying rod 2 vertical. Then, the staff presses down the pressing sleeve 401, which simultaneously causes the lower ends of the four pressing rods 405 to squeeze the marker body 1 into the soil of the burial hole, so that the lower part of the marker body 1 penetrates into the soil to achieve the pre-positioning effect. Finally, the staff presses the button, which causes the mechanical claw 3 to release the marker body 1 and backfill the burial hole, thus completing the laying operation of the marker body 1.
[0045] It should be noted that the mechanical claw 3, button, locking device 406, threaded sleeve 409, spring 402, and marker body 1 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the mechanical claw 3, button, and marker body 1 are all powered by built-in power supplies. In addition, the electronic marker used in the marker body 1 in this field is mainly a column, consisting of upper and lower shells and a working unit set in the shell. The specific model can be selected as appropriate. The usage steps and operating principles can be found on the webpage and will not be described in detail here.
[0046] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
