Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for removing vines that can remove vines such as kuzu, which are wound around branch lines that support utility poles, without residue at high places.

In order to support the utility poles, vines such as kudzu are easily rolled up and entangled with metal branch lines installed obliquely downward from the appropriate upper part of the utility pole toward the ground. Vineous plants can cause short circuits and ground faults, and tend to hinder the stable supply of power. Further, if a vine plant entangled with a branch line is left unattended, the branch line is likely to corrode over time due to moisture such as rainwater retained by the vine.
For this reason, work for removing vines has been appropriately carried out in the past, but it is easy to completely remove vines that reach a height of several meters to 10 meters through work from the ground. It was not.

Specifically, after cutting and removing the part of the vine that is in the lower reach of the worker, if you try to grab the remaining part and pull down the whole vine plant, The vines that are entangled in a spiral form tend to shrink and try to adhere to the branch line, so if you pull it down forcibly, it will be cut off in the middle, and a considerable part from the top will often remain on the branch line . Moisture retained by the remaining vine plant parts corrodes the branch line.
Since the vines are strong enough to get tangled in the branch line, and it is necessary to pull down and remove the vines by working from below, it is injured by the workers falling down due to the recoil of the vines. There are many things.
Moreover, if the worker climbs the utility pole or the branch line and removes the remaining part, the labor is further increased and there is a risk of falling. If a safety belt for working at high places is used to avoid danger, the labor required to carry and carry the safety belt increases.

Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 propose means for cutting a vine plant entangled with a power pole branch line using a jig in which a metal blade such as a sickle or a saw is attached to the tip of an insulating rod. However, it is difficult to cut the pin accurately after extending the insulation rod to a height of several meters to 10 meters from the ground and aligning the blade tip to the required part of the vine plant at a pinpoint, and the branch line is often damaged by the blade. is there. Since the number of cuts required to completely remove the vines by cutting is usually from several to a dozen or so, the removal work and labor by cutting are enormous, and the work is inefficient.
In particular, in Patent Document 1, in order to cut a vine, it is necessary to operate a long operation rod from the ground and reciprocate a saw blade at the tip, which makes the cutting operation more difficult. In addition, the blade may cause injury to the worker.

  In addition, since the metal blade is heavy including the support member and requires a strong force for the cutting operation, it is necessary to use a material having sufficient strength as a long insulating rod. The weight must be increased. For this reason, workability | operativity worsens further. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to make the insulating rod to be used short, and it becomes difficult to remove vines at high places.

In Patent Document 3, a suppressor that prevents the vine plant from rolling up is mounted in advance over almost the entire length of the utility pole branch line, and when the vine plant rolls up, an opening provided in the suppressor is provided. A method of cutting a vine by using a cutting tool attached to the tip of a long insulating rod is disclosed.
However, since it is necessary to attach a restraining tool in advance to every utility pole branch line where vine plants can grow, not only the work number and cost increase, but also the branch line is used because it uses a blade. The risk of damage cannot be eliminated.

Furthermore, the “rotary vine plant roll-up prevention device” of Patent Document 4 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-325420) has a roll-up prevention device permanently installed in advance at a predetermined position of a branch line, and the case portion is moved by wind and rain. It is the structure which prevents the vine plant from rolling up by rotating. However, it prevents the vines that are trying to grow upward beyond the height of the branch line where this prevention device is placed, and removes the vines that have already rolled up to the height of the branch line. I can't do it. In addition, when there is not enough wind power to rotate the case part, vine plants are entangled with the branch line including the prevention device, and the case part cannot be rotated.
In addition, the malfunction which a vine plant gives to an electrical installation is not restricted to a utility pole branch line, but brings the same malfunction to wires, such as an electric wire, a columnar thing, a rod-shaped thing, etc.

FIG. 3 is a top side perspective view, a bottom side perspective view, and an open side perspective view showing the configuration of the removing device main body, and FIGS. 3A, 3B, and 3C are front views showing the main part of the removing device; FIG. 4 is a side view and a bottom view, and FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a configuration according to a modified embodiment.

The vine plant removing apparatus 1 according to the present invention substantially eliminates the vine plant 110 spirally wound around the outer periphery of a long protection object 100 (for example, a utility pole branch line) 100 extending in the vertical direction without being cut. It is a means for removing by pushing down from the top, and is roughly composed of a removal device main body 2 made of a non-metallic material and an operation insulating rod 50 that supports the removal device main body.
The removal apparatus main body 2 moves in the axial direction (longitudinal direction) along the protection object in a state where the protection object 100 is fitted in the opening part 4 provided on the outer peripheral surface and located inside the opening part. A base portion provided with a fitting portion 10 that freely supports and a guide surface 5 that is formed on two opposing tapered inner wall surfaces 4a of the opening portion 4 and guides the protection object 100 into the fitting portion 10. 3 and a sleeve portion 30 that protrudes from the lower surface of the base portion 3 and has a hollow portion 30A that communicates with the fitting portion, and an opening 35 that communicates with the opening portion on the outer peripheral surface corresponding to the opening portion 4; It has.

Further, at least a part of the sleeve portion 30 is in close contact with the outer surface of the object to be protected, and can be slidably contacted with the outer surface of the object to be protected along with the movement of the removing device main body. It has the structure which can peel and remove foreign substances, such as a plant.
Furthermore, the base part 3 is provided with a guide member 40 that smoothly guides the protection object 100 into the fitting part 10 via the opening 35 and presses down the vine plant 110. Furthermore, a push-down member 42 that pushes down the vine plant 110 in cooperation with the guide member 40 is provided at another part of the base portion 3.

  The vine plant according to the present invention has a structure using an insulating resin material that is lightweight and has sufficient strength, such as a reinforced plastic, without using a metal blade, and a utility pole branch line by a pull-down operation from the ground. It is possible to remove all the vines that have grown to the height of the protected object.

Hereinafter, the vine plant removing apparatus (hereinafter referred to as a removing apparatus) of the present invention will be described in more detail. In the following description, the utility pole branch line 100 will be described as an example of the protection target.
As shown in each drawing, the removal device 1 has a configuration in which the removal device main body 2 is attached to the distal end portion of the operation insulating rod 50. In the operation of the removal apparatus 1, first, as shown in FIG. 1A, an operator located on the ground grasps the insulating rod 50 and positions the removal apparatus main body 2 above the uppermost part of the vine plant 110. The electric pole branch line is lifted to the portion where the vine plant does not exist, the portion of the electric pole branch line 100 is introduced into the open portion 4 of the base portion 3, and finally fitted into the fitting portion 10. At this time, the utility pole branch line 100 is simultaneously fitted to the inside of the sleeve portion 30 (hollow portion 30A) via the opening 35 of the sleeve portion 30.

The opening part 4 (fitting part 10) of the base part and the opening part 35 of the sleeve part have a structure that can be opened and closed elastically, and the utility poles fitted inside these parts are connected to the fitting part and the sleeve part. It is held by the pressure contact force and will not fall out. Therefore, by pulling down the insulating rod in this state, the removing device main body 2 starts to descend along the utility pole branch line 100 as shown in FIG. 1B, and the vine plant 110 is moved along with the descending of the removing device main body. It is made to detach | leave from a utility pole branch line by the lower opening (other contact site | part) of a sleeve part sequentially from the uppermost part. The part of the vine plant that has been detached is loosened as it is pressed downward and expands in the outer diameter direction, and the separation from the utility pole branch line proceeds. Furthermore, when the removing device main body 2 continues to descend, the vine plant part having a reduced degree of adhesion with the utility pole branch line is pushed down by the guide member 40 and the push-down member 42.
The sleeve portion 30 is formed by arcing a resin plate having sufficient strength and elasticity. Lowering the inner periphery of the lower opening of the sleeve part or the inner peripheral surface of the sleeve part while coming into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the utility pole branch line, so that the vine plants that are in close contact with the power pole are relaxed while being detached from the utility pole branch line. Thus, the removal apparatus main body 2 can be smoothly lowered to a low place where a worker can reach.

The removal device 1 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.
The base portion 3 constituting the removing device main body 2 is made of reinforced plastic, and may be hollow in order to reduce the weight. In this example, the overall shape of the base portion is a disc shape. However, this is only an example, and a portion for attaching the sleeve portion 30 and the insulating rod can be secured, and the opening portion 4 and the fitting portion 10 can be secured. Any form may be used as long as it can be provided.

  The base portion 3 according to this example includes a fitting portion 10 in a disc-shaped (cylindrical) central portion (may be an eccentric position), and a taper cut that communicates with the fitting portion 10 on an outer peripheral surface. It has the opening part 4 which is a notch. The open part 4 and the fitting part 10 can be elastically deformed due to the properties of the resin material constituting the base part, and can accept utility pole branches having different outer diameters. That is, the fitting part 10 can be appropriately in contact with the outer surface of the utility pole branch line by flexibly deforming corresponding to the diameter of the utility pole branch line.

The opening portion 4 and the guide surface 5 are configured to have an opening angle or the like so as to guide the utility pole branch line smoothly into the fitting portion 10.
The opening amount of the opening portion 4 and the inner diameter of the fitting portion 10 may be configured so as not to be elastically deformed, and only the sleeve portion 30 may be configured to be elastically deformable.
The thin rod-shaped guide member 40 has at least a total of two protrusions on the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 3 (positions along both circumferential edges of the open portion) so as not to form a step with the guide surface 5 of the open portion. It is installed. The two guide members 40 serve as guides when the open portion is inserted into a specific portion of the utility pole branch line located at a high place by an operation from the ground. When the specific part of the utility pole branch line (the part located above the top of the vine plant) is inserted into the open part 4 by an operation from the ground using a long insulating rod, the open part 4 is more than the open part 4 Further, by using two guide members having a large opening angle as a clue, high alignment accuracy becomes unnecessary.
As a method for attaching the guide member 40 to the base portion, the male screw portion provided at the end portion of the guide member can be detachably attached to the female screw portion (hole) provided in the outer peripheral surface of the base portion. It is preferable to configure.

The shape, number, and location of the guide members are arbitrary as long as the above conditions are satisfied.
The sleeve portion 30 made of an elastically deformable resin plate material has an inner wall 31 extended from the inner wall of the fitting portion 10 and an opening 35 communicating with the opening portion 4. When entering the fitting portion 10, the utility pole branch line can smoothly enter the sleeve. The lower end peripheral edge 32 of the sleeve portion 30 has a configuration that can be elastically adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the utility pole branch line, and when the removing device main body 2 descends along the utility pole branch line as a whole, The vines that are in close contact with the outer surface of the utility pole branch line can be peeled off while closely sliding.
In addition, the sleeve part 30 should just peel off a vine by the lower end periphery 32 and other site | parts, and the whole shape does not need to be the taper shape which the downward taper tapered.

The sleeve portion 30 may be manufactured integrally with the base portion 3 in advance or may be fixed later. It may be configured to be detachable from the base portion so that the sleeve portion can be replaced when the sleeve portion 30 is worn out.
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing another configuration example of the lower edge 32 of the sleeve portion. In this example, the tip 32a of the lower edge 32 is bent in the inner diameter direction. Furthermore, if necessary, a pad 34 made of a resin material, a rubber material, or the like having a low frictional resistance and a high durability may be attached along the tip 32a. As for the thickness T of the pad 34, it is preferable to use a material having a small thickness T when the diameter of the utility pole branch line is large, and a material having a large thickness T when the diameter of the utility pole branch line is small. By using the pad 34, it becomes possible to efficiently peel the vines while improving the adhesion with the outer surface of the utility pole and reducing the resistance when the removing device descends. That is, as the material of the sleeve part itself, a material having an appropriate strength and elastic deformation for supporting the utility pole branch line is used, while a pad made of a material suitable for the part that contacts the utility pole branch line is used. Is preferred.

The push-down member 42 is preferably detachably attached to an attachment portion (attachment hole) provided on the outer peripheral surface of the base portion. Specifically, a male screw portion provided at an end portion of the thin rod-like push-down member 42 is screwed into a female screw portion (hole) provided on the outer peripheral surface of the base portion.
The guide member 40 and the push-down member 42 continue to be pushed down while supporting the spread vine plants on the lower surface in the process in which the removing device body 2 descends while peeling the vine plants on the outer peripheral surface of the utility pole by the sleeve portion 30. Means. For this reason, when an electric wire and other obstacles exist in the descending path, there is a possibility that the guide member 40 and the push-down member 42 interfere with each other. In this case, the arbitrary guide member 40 and the push-down member 42 are removed from the base portion, the mounting position on the base portion is changed, or the guide member 40 and the push-down member 42 having a short or different shape are attached. Can respond.

Moreover, it is preferable that the guide member 40 and the push-down member 42 are attached to the base portion in a state where the guide member 40 and the push-down member 42 are inclined downward as shown in the drawing rather than the horizontal direction so that the vines can be securely held.
Further, the guide member 40 and the push-down member 42 need not be linear.

The insulating rod 50 is preferably made of a lightweight and strong insulating material such as reinforced plastic, and can be expanded and contracted in multiple stages like a fishing rod.
When the insulating rod 50 is detachably attached to the mounting portion 20 of the base portion 3, the male screw portion provided at the tip of the insulating rod is screwed to the female screw portion provided in the base portion as in the case of the guide member. It may be.
In the configuration example shown in FIG. 3, the male screw member 26 is fixed to a universal joint (ball joint) 25 provided on the side surface of the base portion 3 so that the male screw member can swing in any direction. Is inserted into the female screw portion 50a at the tip of the insulating rod and screwed. By fixing the angle of the universal joint 25 with a thumbscrew (not shown) or the like, the angle of the insulating rod with respect to the base portion can be changed and fixed.

By adopting the above configuration, the angle of the insulating rod with respect to the base can be changed according to changes in the standing position of the worker, etc., and the insulating rod is set so as not to interfere with the utility pole branch line and other obstacles. It becomes possible.
It should be noted that the object to be protected in the removal apparatus of the present invention is not only a utility pole branch line, but also wires, rods, steel materials, towers, etc., which are arranged from low to high, so that vines such as kudzu are wrapped around. It can be applied to objects that are easy to grow. Of course, it is necessary to change the shape (in particular, the inner surface shape) of the main body of the removing device in accordance with the shape of the object.

[Summary of Configuration, Action, and Effect of the Present Invention]
The apparatus for removing a vine plant according to the first aspect of the present invention is a means for removing a vine plant 110 wound around a protection object 100 extending in the up-down direction by pushing it down from the top, and is made of a non-metallic material. An apparatus main body 2 and an insulating rod 50 that supports the removing apparatus main body are provided.
The removal device main body 2 slides along the protection object in a state where the protection object is fitted in the opening part 4 for introducing the protection object part provided on the outer peripheral surface and positioned inside the opening part. A base portion 3 having a fitting portion (protection object holding portion) 10, a hollow portion 30A that protrudes from the lower surface of the base portion and communicates with the fitting portion, and is provided on the outer peripheral surface corresponding to the opening portion 4 A sleeve portion 30 having an opening portion 35 communicating with the opening portion, and at least a part of the sleeve portion has a configuration capable of sliding contact with the outer surface of the object to be protected.
Since the main body of the removal apparatus of the present invention is made of an insulating resin and does not have a metal blade, it is lightweight, and even if it is placed at the tip of an insulating rod, the operability from the ground does not deteriorate. Since it is lightweight as a whole, it is not necessary to climb a utility pole, and the work can be completed by operation from the ground.

Moreover, it is not necessary to perform the operation | work which cuts a blade edge | tip by applying to the specific site | part of a vine plant by operation using the insulation rod from the ground like the removal apparatus which consists of a blade. In the case of using a blade, there is a strong demand for directionality such as applying the blade edge toward the cutting point, but in the present invention, setting is completed simply by inserting the object to be protected into the open part of the base part. The demand for direction is low and convenient.
Moreover, since no blade is used, there is no possibility of damaging the utility pole branch line or other parts or damaging the operator.

The structure of the main body of the removal device is simple, and since a resin material having sufficient strength is used, there are few failures. In addition, if reinforced plastic is used as an insulating rod, it can be reduced in weight while maintaining its strength, so the insulating rod can be lengthened, and the removal device body is located above the vine plant at a high place. It is possible to work by reaching the position. For this reason, it becomes possible to remove the vines in high places as a whole.
Since the removal work proceeds in the process of lowering the removal device body along the protection object, it is easy to work from the ground using a long bar, and the vines are lowered along the protection object. Finally it can be removed.

The removal device 1 is preferably made of an insulating material from the viewpoint of preventing accidents.
A part of the sleeve portion 30, in this example, the lower end peripheral edge 32 is elastically in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the object to be protected, and can be brought into sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the object to be protected as the removal device body is lowered. . For this reason, a part of the vine plant closely attached to the outer peripheral surface of the object to be protected can be pushed and spread by the lower edge 32.
In this example, the vine plant is peeled off by the lower edge 32 of the sleeve portion. However, a protrusion may be provided on the inner wall of the sleeve portion, and the protrusion may be peeled off by this protrusion.

The vine plant entangled with the outer surface of the object to be protected is more closely attached to the object to be protected by contracting inward if it is pulled down from below, but if it is pushed down from above and lowered, it will expand and be protected. It has been confirmed by actual rights that it is easy to leave.
Since the whole vine plant including the part in the high place can be removed from the utility pole branch line, the utility pole branch line is not corroded due to the remaining vine plants.

The second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the opening portion of the base portion and / or the opening portion of the sleeve portion elastically changes the opening angle.
In addition to wire rods such as utility pole branches, the objects to be protected include rods, cylinders (pillars), and other things that are easy to grow in a state of being entangled with vines. And since the opening part of a base part or / and the opening part of a sleeve part can be opened and closed elastically, it can contact | adhere to the outer surface of a protection target object, and can be press-contacted. For this reason, it can be used corresponding to a protected object having a different diameter and will not fall off.

The third aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the base portion is provided with an opening portion, and a guide member that guides the object to be protected into the opening portion and holds down the vine plant.
The guide member is disposed on the outer surface of the base portion so as not to form a step with respect to the open portion (guide surface) of the base portion. When an operator holding the insulating rod performs an operation for guiding the object to be protected into the open part by an operation from the ground, the guide member should be moved even if the position of the open part and the object to be protected is slightly shifted at the beginning. If the object to be protected can be contacted, the open part of the base part can be moved toward the object to be protected along the guide member, and as a result, the object to be protected can be easily moved into the opening part (fitting part). Can lead to. That is, by using the guide member, it is possible to roughly perform the operation of guiding the protection target object to the open portion. Once the object to be protected is guided into the open part, it can be fitted into the fitting part very easily.
The guide member is sufficient if it is a thin bar, but the shape is not limited. It may be plate-shaped. Moreover, the guide member does not need to be linear or flat, and may be curved or bent.
By making the guide member detachable from the base portion, it becomes possible to perform work in accordance with the surrounding environment and the presence or absence of obstacles.

The fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a push-down member that presses down the vine plant in cooperation with the guide member is provided in another part of the base portion.
By projecting the guide member and the push-down member radially from the base portion, it is possible to pull down the vine plant that has begun to be detached from the object to be protected without being missed.
By making the push-down member detachable from the base portion, it becomes possible to perform work in accordance with the surrounding environment and the presence or absence of obstacles.

The fifth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that a pad that is slidably in contact with the object to be protected is detachably provided at the lower peripheral edge of the sleeve portion.
By disposing a pad made of elastic rubber, resin, or the like on the periphery of the lower end of the sleeve, adhesion to the object to be protected can be enhanced. By increasing the adhesion, it is possible to prevent the vines from leaving the gap between the objects to be protected. Further, by configuring the pad from a material having a low frictional resistance, the removal device main body can be smoothly lowered along the protection target. If the diameter of the object to be protected changes, the pad can be replaced.
By configuring the pad so as to be replaceable, it is possible to selectively use different thicknesses corresponding to differences in the outer diameter and outer shape of the object to be protected, or to replace the pad when the pad is worn out.

In a sixth aspect of the present invention, the base portion is provided with an attachment portion that rotatably supports the insulating rod.
For example, even if there is a situation change such as changing the standing position of the worker with respect to the object to be protected by attaching the insulating rod to the base part using a universal joint or other movable joints, The work can be continued without removing the object to be protected from the fitting portion of the base portion.

In addition, by changing the angle and direction of the base portion with respect to the insulating rod so as to be fixed after being arbitrarily changed, it becomes possible to cope with changes in the work environment.
Instead of pulling down the main body of the removal device only with the insulating rod, a wire may be fixed at an appropriate position of the main body of the removal device, and the removal device may be pulled down by pulling the wire.
