Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment protection technology, and in particular to a protective cover for parallel groove wire clamps. Background Technology
[0002] Parallel trench clamps are electrical engineering hardware used for connecting conductors to each other and for jumper connections on non-straight-line towers. Exposed conductors require adequate protection with protective covers. If the protective covers for parallel trench clamps are inadequate, power supply companies need to increase the frequency of inspections, increasing operating costs. If a parallel trench clamp malfunctions or causes an accident, it can lead to widespread power outages and threaten the personal safety of urban and rural residents. However, current protective covers for parallel trench clamps require operators to use lifts or ladders to install them at heights, which increases the risk of falls from heights and electric shock, potentially resulting in injuries or fatalities.
[0003] To address this, patent number 202122721660.7 discloses an insulating protective cover for live transformer installation and an installation tool. The cover has wire holes at both ends and a through slit running through the upper and lower surfaces to wrap exposed wires. A spring-loaded structure is also provided to close the slit and wrap the exposed wires. The protective cover can be installed simply by using an installation tool with an insulating rod to open and close the slit. Operators do not need to use lifts or ladders for installation at heights, thus avoiding injuries or fatalities caused by working at heights or electric shock.
[0004] However, the aforementioned protective cover is prone to deviation in its opening angle, and it is easy to slip when it is opened at the cut, making the installation process still not convenient enough.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new type of parallel grooved wire clamp protective cover to solve the above problems, such as the traditional parallel grooved wire clamp protective cover having an easy deviation in opening angle, easy slippage when opening at the cut, and inconvenient installation process. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This utility model provides a protective cover for parallel grooved wire clamps, which solves the problems of traditional parallel grooved wire clamp protective covers having an easily shifted opening angle, slippage when opened at the cut seam, and inconvenient installation process.
[0007] The technical problem solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: A protective cover for a parallel grooved cable clamp includes a protective cover made of elastic material. The protective cover has through holes at both ends that allow cables to pass through. The protective cover has a slit that passes through the through holes at both ends. The protective cover has a cavity inside for accommodating the parallel grooved cable clamp. The cross-section of the cavity in the vertical length direction is octagonal, and the slit is located on the bottom edge of the octagon.
[0008] Furthermore, the protective cover includes a cover body and a phase sequence identification part. The cover body has openings at both ends. One end of the phase sequence identification part has an interface connected to the opening. The other end of the phase sequence identification part has the through hole. The phase sequence identification part gradually shrinks from the interface to the through hole.
[0009] Furthermore, the cover is provided with a card hole near the opening, and the phase sequence identification part is provided with a card block near the interface for engaging with the card hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the card hole includes an upper card hole and a lower card hole, and the card block includes an upper card block and a lower card block. The upper card hole is located on the two adjacent sides of the top edge of the octagon, and the upper card hole engages with the upper card block. The lower locking hole is located on the two adjacent sides of the bottom edge of the octagon, and the lower locking hole engages with the lower locking block.
[0011] Furthermore, the card block includes a protrusion extending outward from the phase sequence identification part, and the bottom of the protrusion is provided with a groove to accommodate the edge of the card hole.
[0012] Furthermore, the groove is inclined from the outside to the inside towards the locking block near the bottom and top edges of the octagon; The card hole is inclined from the outside to the inside towards the card hole near the bottom and top edges of the octagon.
[0013] Furthermore, the through hole is an elongated hole, and the extension direction of the through hole is connected to the cut.
[0014] Furthermore, the cut is provided with a notch for accommodating the end of the installation tool chuck.
[0015] Furthermore, the notch is rectangular.
[0016] Furthermore, the protective cover is provided with mounting holes for installing temperature sensors.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention utilizes an elastic material to create a protective cover. The cover has through holes at both ends allowing cables to pass through. A slit runs through these holes. Inside the cover is a cavity for accommodating a parallel groove clamp. The cavity has an octagonal cross-section along its length, with the slit located on the base of the octagon. When the installation tool opens the slit, the tool's clamping head is perpendicular to the slit, further preventing slippage. The octagonal cross-section of the cover provides a stable structure at the corner when opened, preventing angular deviation. This solves the problems of traditional parallel groove clamp protective covers, such as easy angular deviation during opening, slippage at the slit, and inconvenient installation.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] See Figures 1 to 5 A protective cover for a parallel grooved cable clamp includes a protective cover 100, which is made of an elastic material. The protective cover 100 has through holes 20 at both ends to allow cables to pass through. The protective cover 100 has a slit 10 that passes through the through holes 20 at both ends. The protective cover 100 has a cavity 11 inside for accommodating the parallel grooved cable clamp. The cross-section of the cavity 11 in the vertical length direction is octagonal, and the slit 10 is located on the bottom edge of the octagon.
[0030] By using an elastic material to make the protective cover 100, the protective cover 100 has through holes 20 at both ends to allow cables to pass through. The protective cover 100 has a slit 10 that passes through the through holes 20 at both ends. The protective cover 100 has a cavity 11 for accommodating the parallel groove clamp. The cross-section of the cavity 11 in the vertical length direction is octagonal. The slit 10 is located on the bottom edge of the octagon. When the installation tool opens the slit 10, because the slit 10 is on the bottom edge of the octagon, the end of the installation tool's clamp will be perpendicular to the slit 10 of the protective cover, which can further prevent slippage. The octagonal cross-section of the protective cover 100 provides a more stable structure when it is opened at the corner, which can prevent the angle from shifting when opened. This solves the problems of traditional parallel groove clamp protective covers, such as easy angle shifting when opened, easy slippage when opened at the slit, and inconvenient installation process.
[0031] The protective cover 100 includes a cover body 1 and a phase sequence identification part 2. The cover body 1 has openings 14 at both ends. One end of the phase sequence identification part 2 has an interface 21 connected to the opening 14, and the other end of the phase sequence identification part 2 has the through hole 20. The phase sequence identification part 2 gradually shrinks from the interface 21 to the through hole 20.
[0032] Preferably, the cover 1 is made of transparent material, which can help to observe whether it is installed in place during installation; the phase sequence identification part 2 can be set to the corresponding color as needed to help mark the phase.
[0033] The cover 1 has a locking hole 15 near the opening 14, and the phase sequence identification part 2 has a locking block 22 near the interface 21 for engaging with the locking hole 15. The cover 1 and the phase sequence identification part 2 can be connected by engaging the locking hole 15 and the locking block 22, making assembly and disassembly quick.
[0034] The card hole 15 includes an upper card hole 151 and a lower card hole 152, and the card block 22 includes an upper card block 221 and a lower card block 222. The upper card hole 151 is located on the two adjacent sides of the top edge of the octagon, and the upper card hole 151 is engaged with the upper card block 221. The lower locking hole 152 is located on the two adjacent sides of the bottom edge of the octagon, and the lower locking hole 152 is engaged with the lower locking block 222.
[0035] The upper locking hole 151 is located on the two adjacent sides of the top edge of the octagon. After engaging the upper locking block 221, it stabilizes the structure of the two adjacent sides of the top edge of the octagon, further enhancing the angular stability of the protective cover 100 when it is opened. The lower locking hole 152 is located on the two adjacent sides of the bottom edge of the octagon. After engaging the lower locking block 222, it stabilizes the structure of the two adjacent sides of the bottom edge of the octagon, further enhancing the angular stability of the protective cover 100 when it is opened. When opened, the top edge and the left and right sides of the octagon will open first, which helps the protective cover 100 to open stably and with sufficient range.
[0036] The locking block 22 includes a protrusion 23 extending outward from the phase sequence recognition part 2, and the bottom of the protrusion 23 is provided with a groove 24 to accommodate the edge of the locking hole 15. This can prevent the locking block 22 from disengaging from the locking hole 15 and further enhance the connection stability between the phase sequence recognition part 2 and the cover 1.
[0037] The groove 24, near the bottom and top edges of the octagon, slopes from the outside inward toward the locking block 22; the locking hole 15, near the bottom and top edges of the octagon, slopes from the outside inward toward the locking hole 15. This ensures that when the cover 1 is opened, the locking block 22 maintains a strong engagement with the locking hole, preventing the locking block 22 from disengaging due to deformation of the cover 1.
[0038] The through hole 20 is an elongated hole, and its extension direction is connected to the slit 10. This allows parallel and staggered wires of the wire clamp to pass through the through hole 20.
[0039] The cut 10 is provided with a notch 12 for accommodating the end of the installation tool chuck. This further prevents the end of the installation tool chuck from slipping when it is opened.
[0040] The notch 12 is rectangular. This facilitates the accommodation of the end of the installation tool chuck, allowing it to easily extend into the cut 10.
[0041] The protective cover 100 is provided with mounting holes 13 for installing temperature sensors. This allows for temperature monitoring of components inside the protective cover 100, enabling the timely detection of problems with wires and parallel groove clamps.
[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
