Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grounding resistance detection technology for transmission line towers, and in particular to a grounding down conductor switching device for transmission towers that does not require secondary drilling. Background Technology
[0002] Regular testing of the grounding resistance of transmission line towers is a crucial step in ensuring the safe operation of the power grid. Currently, this testing requires disconnecting the grounding down conductor from the tower body (the grounding down conductor is bolted to the tower body before testing; during measurement, only one grounding wire should remain connected to the tower body, while the others should be disconnected). This operation commonly relies on the traditional method of removing the connecting bolts. Due to the harsh outdoor environment of the towers, the connecting bolts are often severely corroded, making disassembly extremely difficult. Furthermore, the grounding down conductor is prone to violent rebound due to stress release during disassembly, posing a serious safety threat to operators. After testing, reinstallation often results in misalignment of the mounting holes due to deformation or displacement of the grounding down conductor, making repositioning time-consuming and labor-intensive. The entire disassembly, assembly, and testing process typically takes more than three hours and requires multiple people, leading to low efficiency and high maintenance costs.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a grounding down conductor switching device for transmission towers that does not require secondary drilling to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a grounding down conductor switching device for transmission towers that does not require secondary drilling, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

The insulating base is an integral block structure. Two through-type T-shaped guide grooves are provided on the right side of the insulating base along the left and right directions. The two T-shaped guide grooves are independent and not connected. Both the rear and front connecting terminals are bosses, installed in the two T-shaped guide grooves respectively.
