Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a height adjustment member for a ground equipment base and a method of combining the same, and more specifically, to a height adjustment member for a ground equipment base installed on a base on which ground equipment, such as a ground transformer box, is installed to adjust the height of the ground equipment and a method of combining the same. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, due to the nature of power facilities that must supply electricity to numerous general customers from substations, KEPCO's power equipment is inevitably exposed to the external environment; among these, above-ground equipment used in underground supply areas is mostly placed at the boundary between sidewalks and roads for reasons such as facility operation and securing public access zones.

[0004] As such, ground-mounted power equipment is inevitably vulnerable to vehicle exhaust fumes, calcium chloride used for snow removal in winter, and frequent external impacts due to its proximity to roads, which can cause damage to the transformer enclosure and foundation. Therefore, it is necessary to install the foundation by setting the height so that the top of the foundation is as far as possible from the ground surface.

[0005] However, if the upper level of the foundation is installed at a level similar to the ground surface by workers during the construction process, problems arise such as internal contamination due to the inflow of rainwater and foreign matter, damage to cables and equipment, difficulty in opening and closing doors of above-ground equipment, and deterioration of aesthetics.

[0006] However, in the case of replacing foundations, equipment located above the foundations, such as switches and transformers, must first be disconnected from the underground lines before replacement. Consequently, there is a problem in that this requires massive costs, including power outages in the affected sections, disconnection and connection of underground cables, and removal and reinstallation of equipment.

[0007] To replace this, the method of lifting by inserting bricks between the foundation and the equipment presents problems such as inconvenient construction and prolonged project duration due to the non-standard construction method applied on-site. Prior art literature

[0031] In addition, the following embodiments are provided to explain more completely to those with average knowledge in the industry, and the shapes and sizes of the elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clearer explanation.

[0033] With reference to FIGS. 3 to 8, a height adjustment member for a ground equipment base according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0034] A height adjustment member for a ground equipment base according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lifting member (10) formed at a predetermined height, having one side surface in contact with the upper surface of the base (2) and an insertion groove (13) formed at one end; a fixing member (20) having one side surface in contact with the upper surface of the base (2) at a position spaced apart from the lifting member (10) and having a through hole (22) formed in its main body; and a fastening member (30) inserted to be fitted into the insertion groove (13) by passing through the through hole (22).

[0035] The above-mentioned foundation (2) is installed in the excavated ground so that the ground equipment (3) is maintained at a predetermined height from the ground surface (1). Conventionally, it was installed by pouring cement and curing it, but currently, to replace this, a method of installing it by pouring and curing a polymer is also used.

[0036] However, as the height of the foundation base (2) exposed on the ground surface (1) is insufficient due to installation conditions, the ground equipment is exposed to vehicle exhaust fumes, calcium chloride used for snow removal in winter, and frequent external impacts, so it is necessary to prevent this, and thus a lifting member (10) is installed.

[0037] The above lifting member (10) is installed so that one side contacts the upper surface of a foundation base (2) installed on the ground and has a predetermined height, and the lifting member body (11) constituting the above lifting member (10) may be formed to include metal, polymer, or ceramic as a material.

[0038] For the material of the impression member body (11) constituting the impression member (10), it is preferable to use a polymer that has high strength while being lightweight to improve portability and installation speed, and among them, it is most preferable to use polycarbonate (PC) which has excellent weather resistance.

[0039] In addition, the impression member body (11) may be formed in a matrix form containing carbon fibers or glass fibers inside and based on polyethylene or polypropylene, thereby achieving both lightweighting and strength improvement simultaneously.

[0040] In addition, the surface of the impression member body (11) is coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) to prevent surface contamination from external ultraviolet rays, and the effect of decomposing organic matter occurs due to electrons and holes generated by receiving ultraviolet rays from the carbon dioxide.

[0041] An insertion groove (13) is formed at one end of the above-mentioned lifting member (10) so that the above-mentioned fastening member (30) can be inserted, and if necessary, a screw thread (14) may be formed on the inner surface of the insertion groove (13).

[0042] The other end of the above-mentioned lifting member (10) is bent at a predetermined angle and extended in a direction toward the ground surface to form an extension part (12).

[0043] One side of the extension part (12) is formed to be in contact with the side (side surface) of the base (2) and serves to fix the entire lifting member (10).

[0044] For example, an additional auxiliary bolt is inserted to penetrate the extension (12) and fastened to the base (2), thereby preventing the base (2) from being separated by external impact.

[0045] Additionally, the fixing member (20) is formed to be in contact with one side of the upper surface of the base (2) at a position spaced apart from the lifting member (10), and a through hole (22) is formed in the fixing member body (21) as the main body so that the fastening member (30) can pass through.

[0046] The above fastening member (30) is inserted such that its end passes through the through hole (22) formed in the fixing member (20) and is fitted into the insertion groove (13) of the lifting member (10).

[0047] The above fastening member (30) may have a screw groove formed on the outer surface of the fastening member body (31) so as to be fastened by engaging with the screw thread (14) of the insertion groove (13).

[0048] The above fastening member (30) may be used to include at least one of a bolt, a washer, and a nut.

[0049] Additionally, the above-mentioned impression member (10) may include a first magnet (15) that is positioned to be attached to one end of the impression member body (11) and formed in a ring shape along the circumference of the insertion groove (13).

[0050] And the fixing member (20) may include a second magnet (24) that is positioned to be attached to one end of the fixing member body (21) facing the lifting member (10) and formed in a ring shape along the circumference of the through hole (22).

[0051] The first magnet (15) or the second magnet (24) may be formed from a magnet comprising neodymium, ferrite, or aluminum-nickel-cobalt.

[0052] The N pole of the first magnet (15) generates an attractive force with the S pole of the second magnet (24), and the S pole of the first magnet (15) generates an attractive force with the N pole of the second magnet (24), so the through hole (22) of the fixing member (20) can be easily aligned with the insertion groove (13) of the lifting member (10), thereby improving convenience.

[0054] Additionally, a method for combining a height adjustment member for a ground equipment base according to another embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lifting member combining step (S10) of placing a lifting member (10) on the upper part of a base (2); a fixing member placement step (S20) of placing a fixing member (20) on the upper part of a base (2) at a position spaced apart from the lifting member (10); and a fastening member insertion step (S30) of fastening the end of a fastening member (30) through the fixing member (20) to fasten it to the lifting member (10).

[0055] In the above fastening member insertion step (S30), a bolt is inserted through the through hole (22) of the fixing member (20) and into the insertion groove (13) of the lifting member (10).

[0056] In the above fixed member placement step (S20), in order to align the fixed member (20) with the lifting member (10), a second magnet (24) provided on the fixed member (20) is attached to a first magnet (15) provided on the lifting member (10).

[0058] Although the present invention has been described in detail through specific embodiments, this is for the purpose of specifically explaining the invention and is not limited thereto. It is evident that modifications or improvements to the present invention are possible by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the invention.

[0059] All simple variations or modifications of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention, and the specific scope of protection of the present invention will be clarified by the appended claims. Explanation of the symbols
