Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary tools for electrical equipment maintenance. Specifically, it is an adjustable tool for removing shorting pieces from terminals, specifically designed to safely, efficiently, and accurately remove shorting pieces from terminals in confined spaces. Background Technology
[0002] In today's widespread power systems, equipment such as distribution cabinets, control cabinets, AGV control boxes, and distribution boxes play a crucial role in industrial production, commercial operations, and residential electricity consumption. The terminal blocks inside these devices bear the important responsibility of circuit connection and distribution, while shorting clips are commonly used components to achieve short-circuit functionality in specific circuits. However, in real-world scenarios, terminal blocks are often installed in extremely confined spaces with complex component layouts.
[0003] Currently, when performing tasks such as removing shorting clips from terminals, power maintenance personnel mainly rely on conventional tools such as ordinary pliers and tweezers. However, due to their large size, ordinary pliers struggle to reach the shorting clips in narrow gaps. Even when they manage to get in, space constraints prevent them from rotating to adjust the gripping angle, making the operation extremely inconvenient. While tweezers are relatively small, they provide weak gripping force, and for firmly installed shorting clips, they are prone to slipping during removal, leading to operation failure and significantly impacting work efficiency.
[0004] More seriously, the electrical components are densely packed within the confined space, and existing tools lack effective positioning and collision prevention measures. During operation, even a slight mishap can cause the tool to collide with surrounding electrical components; such collisions can damage these components, leading to equipment failure, power outages, and severe disruption to production and daily life. Furthermore, repairs after equipment failure not only require greater manpower and material resources but also extend repair time, posing a significant challenge to the stable operation of the power system. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and provide an adjustable tool for removing shorting pieces from terminals in confined spaces. It aims to solve many problems faced by existing tools when operating in confined spaces, and to achieve fast, accurate and safe removal of shorting pieces, thereby greatly improving the quality and efficiency of power equipment maintenance work.
[0006] The technical solution provided by this utility model is: an adjustable tool for removing terminal shorting pieces, including a clamping body, wherein the clamping body has an anti-slip tooth groove on its inner side, and the two constitute an adjustable clamping assembly; an illumination assembly is installed on the clamping body; the illumination assembly is located at the far end of the anti-slip tooth groove, close to the operator's position; the illumination assembly consists of a set of high-brightness LEDs and a high-brightness LED power supply, which are connected by a circuit.
[0007] Furthermore, the adjustable clamping range of the adjustable clamping assembly is 1-20mm.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The lighting components allow maintenance personnel to clearly and intuitively observe the specific location of the shorting piece and the surrounding environment, greatly improving the precision and accuracy of operation; 2. The high-brightness LED light automatically turns on in dimly lit, confined spaces, offering excellent ease of operation and easily adapting to various complex and confined environments, significantly improving work efficiency; 3. The clamping length can be flexibly adjusted according to the depth requirements of different confined spaces, improving the adaptability to shorting pieces of different sizes. Attached Figure Description
[0009] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model.
[0010] In the picture: 1 Clamping body, 2 High-brightness LED light, 3 High-brightness LED light power supply, 4 Anti-slip groove. Detailed Implementation
[0011] To better understand and implement this utility model, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; the embodiments described are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0012] like Figure 1 As shown, an adjustable tool for removing shorting contacts from terminal blocks includes a clamping body 1. The clamping body 1 is made of high-strength stainless steel and is precisely formed through forging and CNC machining. It has anti-slip grooves 4 on its inner side to increase friction between the tool and the shorting contact, facilitating effective clamping. The clamping adjustment range is 1-20mm. The clamping body 1 and its inner anti-slip grooves 4 constitute an adjustable clamping assembly. A set of high-brightness LED lights 2 and a high-brightness LED power supply 3 are installed on the clamping body 1. These are connected by a circuit to form an illumination assembly. The illumination assembly is located at the far end of the anti-slip grooves 4, close to the operator's position. Maintenance personnel can clearly and intuitively observe the specific location of the shorting contact and the surrounding environment, greatly improving the precision and accuracy of the operation. The high-brightness LEDs automatically turn on in dimly lit, confined spaces.
[0013] This utility model discloses an adjustable tool for removing terminal block shorting pieces. It not only allows for flexible adjustment of the clamping length according to the depth requirements of different confined spaces, but also ensures structural strength and safety during operation, while reducing overall weight and minimizing fatigue for maintenance personnel during prolonged operation. In use, a high-brightness LED light automatically illuminates, allowing maintenance personnel to fully assess the position of the shorting piece, the layout of surrounding components, and the actual operating space, thus planning the tool's insertion path. Next, the maintenance personnel hold the tool and slowly insert it into the confined space. During operation, the clamping length of the tool can be adjusted in real time according to the different lengths of the shorting pieces. Once the tool accurately reaches the shorting piece position, the maintenance personnel operate the tool to clamp the shorting piece, successfully completing the removal of the shorting piece.
[0014] It should be understood that any technical features not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art. Although the embodiments of this utility model patent have been described, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make more forms under the guidance of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of protection of this utility model and the claims, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
