Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an overhead snow resistant snow protection tube that can reduce the adhesion of snow to an overhead line.

  In snowfall areas, for example, electric wires (bare wires, covered wires) are installed on steel towers or concrete columns to prevent snow from landing on overhead power lines such as overhead power transmission lines and overhead distribution lines. It has been practiced to install snow-resistant protective tubes such as covers and wire protectors around the overhead wire.

  As an example of this type of conventional snowfall protection tube, there is, for example, a streamlined tubular electric wire cover (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This electric wire cover is composed of a large-diameter portion that rotates around the electric wire and an acute-angled portion that has a sharp tip that can be opened and closed, and is configured to cover the outer periphery of the electric wire by opening the acute-angled portion. . This conventional electric wire cover reduces the wind pressure load which an electric wire receives by rotating with a wind force.

  As another example of a conventional hard snow protection tube, there is an overhead wire protector made of, for example, a cylindrical net (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This overhead wire protector has a pair of bent pieces bent inwardly so as to be openable and closable along the axial direction of the cylindrical mesh body, and opens the pair of bent pieces to cover the outer periphery of the electric wire. It is configured as follows. This conventional overhead wire protector is intended to improve the mounting properties and mounting maintenance properties for overhead wires.

  Still another example of the conventional hard-to-snow protection tube is, for example, a power line snow removal device in which a plurality of projecting blades are provided along the outer periphery in the axial direction of a tubular trunk (for example, a patent) Reference 3). This snow removal device for a power transmission line has a separation part formed along the axial direction of the tubular trunk part, and is configured to open the separation part and cover the outer periphery of the transmission line. . This conventional snow removal device for a power transmission line prevents snow from landing on the power transmission line by rotating the tubular trunk by receiving the wind force from the projecting blades.

  As yet another example of the conventional hard-to-snow protection tube, for example, there is a cylindrical electric wire protection tube in which first and second split members having a semicircular arc cross section are coupled to each other (see, for example, Patent Document 4). The electric wire protective tube covers the outer circumference of the electric wire with the first split member and the second split member, and then extends over the semicircular end surface of the first split member and the semicircular end surface of the second split member. The arcuate plate piece composed of two split members is fixed by screwing. This conventional electric wire protective tube improves the mounting workability with respect to the electric wire.

  However, the conventional streamlined cylindrical electric wire cover described in Patent Document 1 maintains a posture in which the acute angle portion is always directed toward the ground due to the weight of the electric wire cover when there is no wind. For this reason, it is difficult for snow to slip off from the rounded cylindrical large-diameter part, and it is difficult to sufficiently exhibit the difficult snow landing effect that effectively removes the snow attached to the large-diameter part and prevents snow accumulation. There was a problem. Further, since the structure has a streamlined shape (acute angle portion), there is a possibility that the overhead wire may cause galloping up and down during a strong wind, and a sufficient low wind pressure effect cannot be obtained.

  On the other hand, the conventional overhead wire protector described in Patent Document 2 promotes the adhesion of snow, melts snow due to the difference in temperature and becomes a ice lump, and the ice lump is generated in a state where it is caught in the mesh of the cylindrical mesh body. Is done. According to this configuration, there is a problem in that the ice block is liable to freeze and adhere to snow.

  In addition, the conventional snow removal device for a transmission line described in Patent Document 3 accumulates snow by adhering to the corners formed between the protruding blades and the peripheral surface of the tubular body during snowfall. Cheap. According to this configuration, it is difficult to shake off snow that has landed on snow simply by rotating the tubular body by receiving the wind force, and there is a problem that it promotes snow accumulation on the blade and its surroundings. It was.

  Furthermore, since the conventional electric wire protection tube described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 4 has a rounded cylindrical shape and the entire shape thereof is an arc shape like the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the arc-shaped tube While the snow adhering to the upper surface grows along the arc, it gradually turns downward and remains without falling. In some cases, it will cause damage to people and buildings. According to this configuration, there is a problem that it is difficult to promote snowfall before growing into a large snow mass or ice mass.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a hard-to-attach snow protection tube for overhead wires that can reduce the adhesion of snow to overhead wires (overhead power transmission lines, overhead distribution lines) with a simple shape and structure. is there.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a cylindrical member having a predetermined length that is rotatably mounted on the outer periphery of the overhead wire, and the inner diameter of the cylindrical member is larger than the outer diameter of the overhead wire. And forming the cylindrical member in contact with the outer periphery of the overhead wire so that the cylindrical member rotates by its own weight, and the cylindrical member has a regular hexagonal outer peripheral shape. Provide a protective tube.

  According to the present invention, when snow falls on and adheres to the hexagonal cylindrical member, an unbalance of rotational moment is generated in the cylindrical member around the contact point where the cylindrical member is in contact with the outer periphery of the overhead wire, The cylindrical member rotates due to the weight of the snow. As a result, it is possible to provide a snowfall protection tube for overhead wires that can cause the snow that has snowed on the tubular member to fall naturally without growing into a large lump and can reduce the amount of snowfall on the overhead wire. .

  Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  1-5, the code | symbol 1 which shows the whole has shown typically the example of 1 structure of the difficult snow accretion protection tube for overhead wires. The hard snow protection tube 1 according to the illustrated example includes a cylindrical member 12 having an outer shape of a regular hexagon, and the cylindrical member 12 includes a first half member 10 and a second half member 10. A cylindrical structure is formed, and the inside is formed in a circular shape. The inner diameter of the tubular member 12 is formed larger than the outer diameter of the overhead wire 2, and is in contact with the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2 so that the tubular member 12 rotates due to the weight of the snow 15.

  The material of the cylindrical member 12 is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to use, for example, polycarbonate resin, FRP resin (fiber reinforced plastic resin), etc. from the viewpoint of weather resistance and weight reduction. Examples of other materials of the cylindrical member 12 include metals such as aluminum and steel.

A pair of half member 10,10 by the example of illustration consists of the same structure. For this reason, in this embodiment, only one half member 10 will be described. In addition, regarding the other half member 10, the same member name and code | symbol are attached | subjected to the substantially same member as one half member 10. FIG.

  The main characteristic part of this embodiment is that a force in the circumferential direction is applied to the difficult snow protection tube 1 by its own weight so that a large amount of snow 15 does not adhere to the overhead wire 2, The difficult snow accretion protection tube 1 is to rotate the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2. That is, on the left and right sides of the contact point where the inner surface of the cylindrical member 12 contacts the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2, the amount of snow on the left and right sides is biased, and the balance is lost and unbalanced. And the rotation moment which rotates in the direction with much amount of snow adhesion acts, and the cylindrical member 12 rotates in the circumferential direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the outer shape of the half member 10 is formed into a regular hexagonal half trapezoidal shape that is divided into two along a straight line connecting opposite vertices of the regular hexagon. In addition, the inner surface of the half member 10 is formed in a semicircular arc shape. Each of the pair of opening end portions formed along the axial direction of the half member 10 is a joining surface 11, 11 that joins the pair of opening ends of the other half member 10. A cylindrical member 12 having a regular hexagonal outer shape is obtained by joining these half members 10 and 10 to each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), both ends of the half member 10 in the axial direction have a pair of mounting seats 14 and 14 formed in a concave shape that does not protrude inside. Mounting holes for the mounting bolts 3 are formed on the support surfaces of the mounting seats 14. After the outer circumference of the overhead wire 2 is covered with the pair of half members 10, 10, the mounting seats 14, 14 of the pair of half members 10, 10 are joined to each other and fastened by the mounting bolt 3 through the mounting holes. By doing so, it attaches to the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2 as shown in FIGS. In addition, without forming the mounting seat 14, only the bolt mounting holes are formed at both ends in the axial direction of the half member 10, so that the pair of half members 10, 10 are joined to each other and attached via the mounting holes. The bolt 3 may be tightened and fixed.

  The inner diameter of the cylindrical member 12 is set larger than the outer diameter of the overhead wire 2 as shown in FIGS. The inner surface of the tubular member 12 is always kept in contact with a part of the outer surface of the overhead wire 2 while passing through the overhead wire 2. A gap 4 is formed between the inner surface of the tubular member 12 attached to the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2 and the overhead wire 2, and the tubular member 12 can be freely rotated around the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2.

  Table 1 below collectively shows an example of the dimensions of the hard snow protection tube 1 and the overhead wire 2 made up of bare wires according to this embodiment. In Table 1, the air gap refers to the circumferential interval between the difficult snow accretion protection tube 1 and the overhead wire 2. The thick part of the cylindrical member 12 constituting the hard snow protection tube 1 is the maximum dimension of the apex part of the regular hexagon, and the thin part is the minimum dimension of the opposite side part of the regular hexagon.

  The length, the inner diameter, the thickness, the number of arrangements, the installation position, the gap distance between the overhead wire 2 and the like of the difficult snow protection tube 1 are not particularly limited, and the outer diameter and the length of the overhead wire 2 are not limited. It may be set appropriately according to the above. Even in the tightening position and the number of arrangement of the mounting bolts 3 in the hard-to-snow protection tube 1, it can be appropriately set according to the outer diameter and length of the overhead wire 2.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, the difficult-to-snow protection tube 1 configured as described above is stationary at an arbitrary position in the rotation range of the cylindrical member 12 in the initial stage of snowing. If the amount of snow attached on the left and right of the contact point where the inner surface of the tubular member 12 contacts the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2 is uneven, the tubular member 12 is unbalanced and unbalanced, and the snow 15 is attached to the right. Rotating moment that works. Then, the cylindrical member 12 rotates around the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2 as shown in FIGS. And the snow 15 adhering to the cylindrical member 12 slips down naturally from the cylindrical member 12 toward the ground, as shown in FIG.5 (d), and the cylindrical member 12 stops.

  As the mounting bolt 3 according to the illustrated example, an extremely small and lightweight mounting bolt (for example, M3 bolt) of about several grams compared to the weight of the cylindrical member 12 itself is used. The mounting bolt 3 has a weight that generates a rotational moment around the overhead wire that is smaller than the rotational moment around the overhead wire caused by the weight of the snow 15 that has accumulated on the cylindrical member 12. It does not interfere with rest.

  In the illustrated example, the distance between the snow attachment position and the overhead line center position is longer than the distance between the bolt mounting position and the overhead line center position. When snow falls on the surface of the cylindrical member 12, the rotational moment around the overhead line caused by the weight of the snow 15 becomes larger than the rotational moment of the reaction force around the overhead line caused by the weight of the mounting bolt 3. Therefore, an unbalance of the rotational moment due to the weight of the snow 15 occurs in the cylindrical member 12. Thereby, since the circumferential force is applied to the cylindrical member 12 by the weight of the snow 15, the cylindrical member 12 can be rotated, and a large amount of snow does not adhere to the surface of the cylindrical member 12.

  As shown in FIGS. 1A to 5D, the apex of the regular hexagon has a sharp corner portion 13 without chamfering in an arc shape. If the regular hexagonal apex has an arc shape, the apex does not function effectively for snow removal. The apex of the regular hexagon is preferably a sharp corner that is excellent in snow detachability.

  Below, the effectiveness of the difficult snow accretion protection tube 1 which concerns on the said embodiment is further demonstrated.

(Effect of embodiment)
According to the hard snow protection tube 1 having the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) Since the cylindrical member 12 having a regular hexagonal outer peripheral shape is in contact with the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2, the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2 is rotated due to the unbalance of the rotational moment due to the weight of the snow 15. With the structure, it is possible to reduce the amount of snow on the overhead wire 2.
(2) By causing the cylindrical member 12 to contact the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2, the amount of the snow 15 attached to the overhead wire 2 can be reduced by rotating with the own weight of the snow 15.
(3) By rotating the cylindrical member 12 to prevent a large amount of snow from adhering, the snowfall is smoothly promoted, and the snowfall is frequently repeated, so that the overall landing on the overhead line 2 (an overhead line) is achieved. The amount of snow can be reduced.
(4) Even in relatively wet snow that cannot exhibit the effect of difficult snowfall in the conventional snowfall ring, it is possible to naturally fall snow from the tubular member 12 by the weight of the snow 15, so that it depends on snowfall conditions. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the overall amount of snowfall on the overhead line 2.

[Other embodiments]
The hard-to-snow protection tube 1 configured as described above exemplifies a configuration example, and the shape and structure thereof are not limited to the illustrated example.

(1) As another embodiment of the difficult snow protection tube 1, for example, the mounting seat 14 of the half member 10 is formed only on one half member 10, and the mounting bolt 3 is attached to the other half member 10. Even in the configuration in which only the mounting hole is formed, the initial object of the present invention can be sufficiently achieved.
(2) As still another embodiment of the hard-to-snow protection tube 1, for example, the axially opposed surfaces of the pair of half members 10, 10 are hinged so as to be openable and closable, and one axially opposed surface can be removed. It can also be set as the structure which carries out uneven | corrugated fitting. Even in this configuration, it is possible to sufficiently exhibit the effect of difficult snowfall.
(3) As still another embodiment of the difficult snow accretion protection tube 1, for example, flanges having mounting holes are formed at both ends in the axial direction of the joint surface 11 of the half member 10, and these flanges are in contact with each other. It is good also as a structure which fixes a pair of half member 10 and 10 by tightening with a mounting bolt and a nut so that it may contact | connect, and can fully exhibit a difficult snow accretion effect.

  As is clear from the above description, in the difficult snow accretion protection tube 1 of the present invention, the cylindrical member 12 having a regular hexagonal outer peripheral shape has a rotational hexagonal moment due to the weight of the snow 15. It is important that the outer circumference of the overhead wire 2 is in contact with the outer periphery of the overhead wire 2 so as to be freely rotatable.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment and illustration example, Naturally also includes the technical range which those skilled in the art can change easily from those embodiment and illustration example. It is.
