Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to cable protection mechanisms, specifically a rodent-proof mechanism for cable protection. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, when power lines are installed in locations such as mountains and forests, guy wires are typically installed to secure the poles and prevent them from toppling under strong winds or external forces. While guy wires increase the stability of the poles, their presence also makes it easy for animals such as squirrels and rats to climb onto the cables, potentially chewing them and posing a serious safety hazard to the power lines, thus affecting their normal and safe operation. Therefore, a rodent-proof mechanism for cable protection is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rodent-proof mechanism for cable protection in order to solve the above problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rodent-proof mechanism for cable protection, characterized in that it includes a fixed sleeve assembled from parts, a protective part disposed on the outside of the fixed sleeve for protection, the protective part including a plurality of protective spikes disposed on the outside of the fixed sleeve and perpendicular to the axis of the fixed sleeve, and isolation plates disposed on both sides of the fixed sleeve for isolation and protection.

[0005] More preferably, the fixing sleeve is assembled from fixing sleeve one and fixing sleeve two, and fixing sleeve one and fixing sleeve two are provided with fixing structures for fixing and connecting fixing sleeve one and fixing sleeve two.

[0006] More preferably, the fixing structure includes positioning holes and positioning posts provided on the first fixing sleeve and the second fixing sleeve for positioning the first fixing sleeve and the second fixing sleeve during assembly, through holes provided on the first fixing sleeve and the second fixing sleeve at corresponding positions, and bolts installed at the through holes for locking the first fixing sleeve and the second fixing sleeve.

[0007] A further preferred embodiment includes a reinforcing structure disposed within the first and second fixing sleeves to enhance the mounting of the fixing sleeves onto the pull wire.

[0008] More preferably, the reinforcing structure consists of several elastic resistance-increasing elements disposed within the first and second fixed sleeves, wherein the elastic resistance-increasing elements are tapered.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when this device is used, it is installed on the pull line to prevent squirrels, rats and other animals from climbing onto the cable through the pull line and biting the cable, which would cause cable damage and failure. By installing isolation plates on both sides of the fixing sleeve, the isolation plates serve two purposes: firstly, they act as a barrier to prevent rodents from climbing, providing primary protection; secondly, they provide safety protection when construction workers install the fixing sleeve onto the cable, preventing the protective spikes from causing injury to the workers during the installation process. By setting several elastic resistance-increasing components inside the first and second fixed sleeves, when the first and second fixed sleeves are assembled and installed on the pull line, the elastic resistance-increasing components are squeezed, thereby increasing the frictional resistance between them and the pull line. This enhances the stability of the fixed sleeves installed on the pull line and prevents them from slipping off the pull line and failing to provide protection. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates a rodent-proof mechanism for cable protection according to this utility model.

[0013] It should be noted that all directional indicators such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc. in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture as shown in the attached figure. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0014] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly; for example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can also mean a mechanical connection, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0015] See Figures 1-3As shown, a rodent-proof mechanism for cable protection is characterized by including a fixed sleeve 1 assembled from parts, a protective part 2 disposed on the outside of the fixed sleeve 1 for protection, the protective part 2 including a plurality of protective spikes 21 disposed on the outside of the fixed sleeve 1 and perpendicular to the axis of the fixed sleeve 1, and isolation plates 22 disposed on both sides of the fixed sleeve 1 for isolation and protection. The isolation plate 22 can be integrally formed with the fixing sleeve 1 or fixedly installed on the fixing sleeve 1 by means of threads, screws, adhesives, etc. When the isolation plate 22 is integrally formed on the fixing sleeve 1, the isolation plate 22 is divided into two parts and set on the fixing sleeve 11 and the fixing sleeve 22. After the fixing sleeve 11 and the fixing sleeve 22 are assembled, the two semi-circular isolation plates 22 are combined into a whole circular isolation plate 22. By installing this device on the cable, it can prevent squirrels, rats, and other animals from climbing the cable and biting it, thus preventing cable damage and malfunctions. By setting isolation plates 22 on both sides of the fixed sleeve 1, the isolation plates 22 serve two purposes: first, to block rodents from climbing and provide primary protection; second, to provide safety protection when construction workers install the fixed sleeve 1 onto the cable, preventing the protective spikes 21 from causing injury to the construction workers during the installation process. The isolation plate 22 serves as a primary barrier against rodents. The presence of several protective spikes 21 causes stinging pain when rodents cross the isolation plate 22 and come into contact with the spikes, thus deterring them and providing secondary protection. Through these two levels of protection, the overall protective effect is effectively enhanced.

[0016] In one embodiment, the fixing sleeve 1 is assembled from fixing sleeve one 11 and fixing sleeve two 12, and fixing sleeve one 11 and fixing sleeve two 12 are provided with fixing structures for fixing and connecting fixing sleeve one 11 and fixing sleeve two 12. The fixing structure includes positioning holes 3 and positioning posts 31 provided on the fixing sleeve 11 and fixing sleeve 2 12 for positioning the assembly of the fixing sleeve 11 and fixing sleeve 2 12, through holes 32 provided on the fixing sleeve 11 and fixing sleeve 2 12 at corresponding positions, and bolts 33 installed at the through holes 32 for locking the fixing sleeve 11 and fixing sleeve 2 12. The positioning holes 3 and positioning pins 31 are used to position the assembly of the first fixing sleeve 11 and the second fixing sleeve 12. After assembly, the assembly and fixing of the first fixing sleeve 11 and the second fixing sleeve 12 are completed by locking one end of the bolt 33 through the through hole 32.

[0017] In one embodiment, a reinforcing structure is provided within the first fixing sleeve 11 and the second fixing sleeve 12 to enhance the mounting of the fixing sleeve 1 on the pull wire. The reinforcing structure is a plurality of elastic resistance-increasing elements 4 disposed within the fixing sleeve 11 and fixing sleeve 2 12 by bonding or integral molding. The elastic resistance-increasing elements 4 are tapered. The elastic resistance-increasing elements 4 may be made of rubber. By setting several elastic resistance-increasing components 4 inside the first fixed sleeve 11 and the second fixed sleeve 12, when the first fixed sleeve 11 and the second fixed sleeve 12 are assembled and installed on the pull line, the elastic resistance-increasing components 4 are squeezed, thereby increasing the frictional resistance between them and the pull line. The elastic resistance-increasing components 4 are set in a conical shape so that they are easier to deform after being compressed. After being compressed and deformed, the frictional force with the diameter of the pull line is further increased, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the fixed sleeve 1 on the pull line and preventing it from slipping off the pull line and failing to play a protective role.

[0018] When using this utility model: First, the first fixing sleeve 11 and the second fixing sleeve 12 are installed on the pull line through the cooperation of the positioning post 31 and the positioning hole 3, so that the pull line is in the groove of the fixing sleeve 1. Then, one end of several bolts 33 passes through the through hole 32 and is locked. During the locking process, the first fixing sleeve 11 and the second fixing sleeve 12 are driven to close. During the closing process, the first fixing sleeve 11 and the second fixing sleeve 12 compress several elastic friction-increasing elements 4. The elastic friction-increasing elements 4 deform after being compressed, increasing the friction between them and the pull line, until the first fixing sleeve 11 and the second fixing sleeve 12 are locked.

[0019] The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and their variations. Conventional modifications and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the content of these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of this utility model.
