Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of cable technology, are a kind of high-tension cable defect quick diagnosis devices particularly.
Background technique
High-tension cable in the power system using more and more extensive, ensure that the safe operation of cable run is to power train
The basic demand of system operation, with being constantly progressive for economic technology, the electricity demand of people is increasing, to power supply quality
It is required that power industry development speed under the competitive pressure of new era in China's is also getting faster, electric power enterprise pair there has also been raising
The demand of high-tension cable is also increasing.Since the form of construction work of direct buried high-tension cable is more economical, then by each electricity
Power enterprise is widely used.But the disadvantage is that high-tension cable crust of the direct-burried in underground usually can after running a period of time
It is broken by the teeth or destroyed by other external force by mouse, cause insulating properties to decline, then the one point earth of shielded layer is changed to multiple spot
Ground connection, once the phenomenon that circulation fever occur is easy for that cable is caused to be burnt, so as to cause electric power accident.
When the prior art detects buried high-tension cable, since it is often embedded in underground, the outer surface of cable is just
It can remain there are many fixed structure that soil leads to high-tension cable detector, a large amount of soil can be infected in fixed cable,
After fixed one end time, not only influences whether the stability in later period and the influence by clay solidifying be easy to cause disassembly difficult,
It is also cleaned when fetching, it is time-consuming and laborious.
Summary of the invention
In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a kind of high-tension cable defect quick diagnosis device.
To achieve the goals above, the present invention is to realize by the following technical solutions: a kind of high-tension cable defect is fast
Fast diagnostic device, structure include industrial personal computer, fixed mechanism, filter, and the industrial personal computer is electrically connected with filter, in industrial personal computer
Left side be arranged with fixed mechanism, the fixed mechanism includes activity clamping opening, closing lid, clip slot, swivel, fixing end, the fixation
The outer surface at end is equipped with screw thread, and the swivel is integrated with clip slot, is combined with activity clamping opening in the upper end of clip slot, described
Using being articulated and connected, the inside of the clip slot includes groove body, net trough rim, groove body Ka Jiao, suction pump, rotation for activity clamping opening and closing lid
Motor, spout, skirt, the groove body are buckled into circular configuration by groove body Ka Jiao, are equipped with net trough rim in its inside wall edge, described
Suction pump is from top to bottom installed with rotating electric machine, and uniform welding has several skirts and the two on the outer circumference surface of the suction pump
Intercommunication opens up the spout of promising zigzag structure in the inside of skirt.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the net trough rim and turntable coincide up and down, and pass through funnel disk between the two
It communicates.
As a further improvement of the present invention, connecting rod is welded between the turntable and rotating electric machine.
As a further improvement of the present invention, confluence chamber and negative pressure mouth is provided on the skirt, in the confluence chamber
Equipped with negative pressure mouth, the confluence chamber is matched by skirt with suction pump.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the bottom of the confluence chamber and funnel disk welds together.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the swivel is docked between groove body by being connected steel body, the linking steel
It is equipped with shock-absorbing spring, bearing in vivo, there are two the shock-absorbing spring is set, and each both ends are respectively and fixedly provided with bearing.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the groove body Ka Jiao is made of pin and pulling block, two pins and drawing
Block constitutes concave-shaped structure.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the card slot for being matched with pin equipped with bolt to interface of the groove body.
As a further improvement of the present invention, the net trough rim quartering is accepted by funnel disk in each equal part.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1, the net trough rim and cable appearance being equipped in the inside edge of clip slot of the present invention fit closely together, are placed in cable
When inside fixed mechanism, the soil of cable outer surface is struck off by net trough rim and is allowed to fall in confluence chamber, by setting
Some net trough rims can further separate the soil of cable surface, influence the later period so as not to remain in the inside of fixed mechanism
Fixed stability.
2, the diameter between the inside and turntable of net trough rim of the present invention is equal, and cooperates funnel disk in coincideing up and down, therefore,
Soil after striking off is fallen in confluence chamber along funnel disk, can be docked, be utilized with external water source by fixing end in suction pump
Water source is evacuated in confluence chamber by skirt, is done and is diluted to the soil in confluence chamber, so that will not be easy blocking pipeline and remittance after discharge
The degree of adhesion for flowing cavity wall also can relative reduction.
3, water source can be impacted in the jet stream that nozzle generates and be drawn by the zigzag spout being equipped with inside skirt by the present invention
Pipe and the soil in confluence chamber, not only may be implemented the dirt of cleaning skirt inner wall while can also break the stickiness between soil,
It is allowed to preferably complete dilution.
4, groove body of the invention and net trough rim are integrated, and at the same time, groove body is common by funnel disk and turntable
Effect, and docking is stablized using linking steel body between the two, in turntable high-speed rotation, groove body synchronous rotary drives net indirectly
Remaining dirt throws away fall in funnel disk under the influence of centrifugal force trough rim in its net slot under high-speed rotation, effectively improves
The leakage mud efficiency of net trough rim.
5, to be mainly groove body provide to stablize with turntable present invention linking steel body is connected effect, since the two is not integrated,
Adjacent groove body and turntable generate non-movement in the same direction and collision under high speed rotation, so as to cause biggish opposite position is generated between the two
It moves, the shock-absorbing spring being equipped in linking steel body can guarantee the stable relative displacement of the two, and reduces collision and generate.
6, groove body of the present invention groove body Ka Jiao with two semicircular structures is composed, wherein on groove body Ka Jiao and groove body
Card slot fixed for embedded, and operate only have a pulling block can realize, convenient for groove body dismantle.
