Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable cutting technology, and in particular relates to a cutting device for insulated overhead cables. Background Technology

[0002] Insulated overhead cables are a type of conductor widely used in power transmission and distribution systems. Their core characteristic lies in the multi-layered insulation material surrounding the conductor, retaining the advantages of overhead lines while significantly improving safety performance. Insulated overhead cables typically consist of a conductive core, an insulation layer, an optional shielding layer, and an outer sheath. The conductive core is often made of aluminum or aluminum alloy to balance conductivity and mechanical strength; the insulation layer commonly uses cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the former offering excellent high-temperature resistance and aging resistance, while the latter is less expensive; some medium- and high-voltage cables may include a metal shielding layer to ensure uniform electric field distribution; the outer sheath provides protection against ultraviolet radiation and corrosion. With advancements in materials technology, new products such as lightweight composite core insulated cables are gradually expanding their applications in special terrains and long-span scenarios. To achieve these applications, proper cutting of the insulated overhead cable is necessary.

[0003] Compared with Chinese Patent No. CN218192301U, which discloses a cable cutting device, this utility model provides a cable cutting device, including a first base, a second base, a fixing device, and a clamp. The first base has a flip-up cutting rod on its top, and both bases have fixing devices on their tops. The two fixing devices fix the two ends of the cable at the cut point. After the cable is cut by flipping the cutting rod, the two bases are pulled apart to straighten the cable and relieve the tension before removing the two ends of the cut cable. This prevents the unfixed end of the cable from springing up and causing a safety accident to the human body after being cut while the cable is straight.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patent requires the cable to be fixed by twisting and clamping before applying force to cut it. It is best to loosen and replace the cable, which increases the labor intensity of workers and the time spent on auxiliary disassembly and assembly. This is time-consuming and laborious, and seriously affects the speed of cable cutting operations. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cutting device for insulated overhead cables to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A cutting device for insulated overhead cables includes a frame assembly for supporting and limiting the insulated overhead cable, and a cutting component mounted on the frame assembly for pressing down and cutting the insulated overhead cable. Auxiliary clamping components for spring-loaded and stretched insulated overhead cables are provided on both sides of the bottom of the cutting component. The frame assembly includes a base, on which a limit block is mounted. An overtravel groove is provided in the middle of the limit block, and a cantilever frame is provided behind the base. The cutting component includes a blade holder, on which a cutting blade is mounted at the bottom, and a force-applying mechanism for pressing down and resetting is provided on the top surface of the blade holder. The auxiliary clamping components include two symmetrically arranged fixed rotating shafts, on which a rolling mechanism for swinging, rolling, stretching, and pre-pressing the insulated overhead cable is provided. Second springs are respectively installed between the two ends of the two rolling mechanisms.

[0008] Furthermore, the top surface of the limiting block is provided with a limiting groove, which is arc-shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, four anti-slip pads are evenly distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the base, and the anti-slip pads and the limiting blocks are respectively bolted to the base.

[0010] Furthermore: the force application mechanism includes two limiting slide rods symmetrically arranged on the tool holder seat, a first spring is provided on the outer periphery of the limiting slide rods, and a force application frame is installed between the top ends of the limiting slide rods, the top surface of the force application frame being arc-shaped.

[0011] Furthermore, the tool holder has four hinge seats evenly distributed at its four corners, the fixed rotating shaft is parallel to the cutting tool, and is rotatably mounted between two of the hinge seats.

[0012] Furthermore: the rolling mechanism includes two symmetrically mounted swing arms on the fixed rotating shaft, a central rotating shaft is installed between the bottoms of the swing arms, and a rolling roller is rotatably mounted on the central rotating shaft, the rolling roller being drum-shaped.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the swing arms is provided with a spring seat on its outer side, and the second spring is fixedly installed between the two corresponding spring seats.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects are:

[0015] 1. The roller adopts a step-by-step action of contacting first and then cutting, which avoids the cable from bouncing due to sudden force and reduces safety hazards; the mechanical linkage design integrates the cutting, pressing and resetting functions into one, which improves the operating efficiency and safety while ensuring the cutting quality, and is especially suitable for the rapid cutting needs in the construction of overhead cables.

[0016] 2. The waist-shaped roller of the auxiliary pressing component rolls the cable in both directions before cutting. By stretching to both sides, it eliminates internal stress and avoids cable twisting or local deformation. At the same time, the preload of the second spring ensures uniform pressing force. The arc-shaped groove of the limiting block matches the outer diameter of the cable to achieve natural fit and limit, preventing the cable from rolling or shifting during cutting.

[0017] 3. The design of the cutting blade and the limit block overtravel groove ensures that the blade can completely penetrate the cable when it is pressed down, avoiding the presence of uncut parts and improving the thoroughness of the cut; the cutting component integrates a spring return function (first spring), which automatically resets after operation, reducing manual intervention and improving the efficiency of continuous operation.

[0018] 4. The arc-shaped design at the top of the force-applying frame is ergonomic and facilitates manual pressing operation; the spring return system (the first spring cooperates with the cantilever frame) automatically rebounds, reducing operator fatigue; the rolling mechanism achieves rotation buffering through the central rotating shaft, reducing mechanical wear and extending service life.

[0029] In this embodiment: the cutting assembly includes a blade holder 201, a cutting blade 203 is mounted on the bottom of the blade holder 201, and a force-applying mechanism for applying downward force and resetting is provided on the top surface of the blade holder 201; the force-applying mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged limiting slide rods 204 on the blade holder 201, a first spring 205 is provided on the outer periphery of the limiting slide rods 204, and a force-applying frame 206 is installed between the top ends of the limiting slide rods 204, the top surface of the force-applying frame 206 being arc-shaped; four hinge seats 202 are evenly distributed at the four corners of the blade holder 201, the fixed rotating shaft 301 is parallel to the cutting blade 203, and is rotatably mounted on two of them. Between the hinge seats 202; the downward force-applying frame 206 compresses the first spring 205, and pushes the force-applying frame 206 to drive the cutting tool 203 to descend through the limiting slide rod 204, so that the cutting tool 203 presses down to cut the insulated overhead cable and passes through the overtravel groove 106 in the middle of the limiting block 104 to ensure the thorough cutting of the insulated overhead cable. The force-applying frame 206 is released, the cantilever frame 103 supports the first spring 205 to release the elastic force, and pushes the force-applying frame 206 to drive the knife holder seat 201 to reset through the limiting slide rod 204. The hinge seat 202 is used to drive the swing arm 302 to move down through the fixed rotating shaft 301.

[0030] In this embodiment: the auxiliary pressing assembly includes two symmetrically arranged fixed rotating shafts 301.

First, the insulated overhead cable is laid flat from the front and enters the limiting groove 105 of the upper limit block 104 of the base 101. Then, the force applying frame 206 is pressed down to compress the first spring 205. The limiting slide rod 204 pushes the force applying frame 206 to drive the cutting tool 203 to descend. At the same time, the force applying frame 206 pushes the fixed rotating shaft 301 through the hinge seat 202 to drive the swing arm 302 to press down.

And the two rolling rollers 304, under the support of the central rotating shaft 303 and the swing arm 302, move... Centered on the fixed rotating shaft 301, the insulated overhead cable is rolled out to both sides along the limiting block 104. At the same time, the second spring 306 is stretched through the spring seat 305. Then, the cutting tool 203 presses down to cut the insulated overhead cable and passes through the overtravel groove 106 in the middle of the limiting block 104 to ensure the thorough cutting of the insulated overhead cable.
