Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a clip for an indirect hot wire method used in an indirect hot wire work for a high-voltage electric facility or the like.

  In the indirect hot wire work, an operator performs various work on the charged high-voltage distribution line (electric wire) by using an indirect hot wire tool such as an insulated Yatco. In indirect hot wire work, for example, by using an indirect hot wire clip (insulating sheet sandwiching tool), the electric shock prevention insulating sheet placed on the charged portion of the electric wire is sandwiched and fixed together with the electric wire, or by cutting It is necessary to take safety measures such as temporarily fixing the free wire to other parts. This indirect hot wire method clip is generally operated using an insulating jacket provided with a long handle portion.

FIG. 6A is a configuration example of a conventional indirect hot wire method clip (hereinafter referred to as a clip). The clip 100 supports two pressing pieces 101 by an opening / closing support member 105 so as to be opened and closed. In addition, a spring (not shown) that constantly biases (closes) the tip 101a of each pinching piece is provided. When the front end is closed, the rear end 101b is in a separated state as shown in the figure, and as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the rear end 101b is sandwiched in the direction in which the rear end 101b approaches each other. Thus, each tip 101a can be opened.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, the work can be performed while holding the clip in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the insulating jacket and in other crossing directions.

However, there is a problem that the work position and approach method of the worker are limited when the conventional clip is sandwiched between the insulation sheets attached to the electric wires or removed from the insulation sheet. Even in a work on a bucket 140 extending from an aerial work vehicle, the work is often limited by the influence of the surrounding environment.
In particular, when an aerial work vehicle cannot be used due to surrounding conditions, it will be climbed on a pillar, but in that case it will be difficult to perform efficient work while maintaining a stable posture on the pillar There are many cases. For example, since the scaffolding, posture, and body movement are not free on the pillar, the clip attaching / detaching operation is further restricted.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a state where the indirect hot-line work is performed on the bucket of an aerial work vehicle. The disadvantages of the conventional clip will be described with reference to FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 7, one worker A tries to remove the clip 100 sandwiching the insulating sheet 135 containing the electric wire 130 using the insulating jacket 120, but the rear end of the clip is Since it is facing upward, it is not easy to open the clip leading end by sandwiching the trailing end of the clip with the leading end of the insulating jacket by work from below. Moreover, since the width direction (short side direction) of the rear end portion of the clip is substantially parallel to the electric wire, when the insulating jacket is made to approach the rear end portion of the clip from the direction intersecting with the electric wire as illustrated, It becomes more difficult to sandwich the rear end portion of the clip with the front end portion of the insulating jacket.

FIGS. 8A and 8B illustrate such a situation, and it is assumed that an operator is located on the front side of the sheet of FIG. 8A and on the right side of FIG. In this case, the rear end portion of the clip 100 is hooked by the front end of the insulating jacket 120 and pulled toward the front side to rotate the clip around the electric wire so that the rear end portion of the clip faces the front side, and then the rear end portion of the clip. Is sandwiched between the tips of the insulating jacket and released to release it. However, this operation is extremely inefficient and causes fatigue.
Alternatively, it has been necessary to change the position of the operator to the right or left in FIG. 8A and sandwich the rear end of the clip with the insulating jacket substantially parallel to the electric wire. However, if the surrounding situation does not allow such work, the work of removing the clip becomes extremely difficult.

In addition, it is more complicated to perform the operation of sandwiching the insulating sheet 135 that is hung on the electric wire with the clip using the insulating jacket. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, in order to sandwich the clip in the insulating sheet by working obliquely downward or laterally, the insulating sheet portion corresponding to the electric wire is the tip of the clip held by the insulating jacket from obliquely downward or laterally. It is necessary to perform a troublesome operation of inserting and sandwiching the insulating sheet containing the electric wire between the pressing clip pieces of the opened clip while pushing and deforming the insulating sheet.
Alternatively, the clip can be attached after the holding direction of the clip with respect to the longitudinal direction of the insulating Yatco is 90 degrees as shown in FIG. 6C. In order to open the clip end held at such an angle and sandwich it between the upper sides of the insulating sheet hung on the electric wire, the operator is raised to almost the same height as the electric wire, while holding the insulating Yoko substantially parallel to the electric wire. It is necessary to work while. However, there is a limit to the height at which the bucket of an aerial work vehicle can be raised.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the end 131 of the electric wire that has become free by cutting is fixed with a clip along the electric wire 132 of the same phase. There is a problem that the work position and the approach method are limited due to the shape of the head.

Patent Document 1 discloses a holding member that is configured so that two clip pieces can be opened and closed around a single fulcrum portion like a ridge, and the leading end portion of the insulating jacket is securely held at the rear end portion of each clip piece. A clip for an indirect hot wire method is provided. According to this indirect hot wire method clip, it is possible to prevent the indirect hot wire method clip from falling off from the insulating Yatco without being affected by deterioration of the work environment such as during snowfall or rainy weather. Have been described.
However, it is clear that this indirect hot wire method clip has the same defects as the conventional clip shown in FIG.

JP2012-200089

The conventional clip for indirect hot wire method is operated using a long insulating jacket, and is used for work such as fixing or removing the insulation sheet etc. from the electric wire, but the position of the worker and the approach method are Since it is limited, the attaching / detaching operation of the clip is complicated.

An indirect hot wire method clip (hereinafter referred to as a clip) 1 includes a base member 2 having two shaft support portions 3 and 4 at a front portion and a fixed operation piece 6 at a rear portion, and two shaft support portions 3 and 4, the proximal portion of the proximal end portion is pivotally supported, and when approaching, the two sandwiching members 20, 21 approaching the distal sandwiching portions 20 a, 21 a and the respective sandwiching members are attached in a direction to approach each other. The elastic member 30 to be energized, the actuated parts 20b and 21b as long holes provided at the base end parts of the pinching members 20 and 21, respectively, and the actuating parts 41 to be engaged with the actuated parts 20b and 21b, respectively. And T extending rearward from the operating portion 41 and projecting backward beyond the fixed operation piece 6 and supported by the base member 2 so as to be able to advance and retract in the front-rear direction between a position close to the fixed operation piece and a separated position. A movable operation member 40 having a letter-shaped movable operation piece 43; The has.
Each of the clamping members 20 and 21 is curved in a substantially C shape as shown, and when closed as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 3 (a), an insulating sheet or the like is held by the clamping portions 20a and 21a. It is comprised so that the clamping target object may be clamped. When each clamping member is opened as shown in FIG. 3B, it can be attached to the insulating sheet and detached from the insulating sheet.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the clamping members 20 and 21 communicate with two shaft support portions (shaft holes) 3 and 4 provided on the base member and are supported by the shaft member 5 so as to be rotatable. The shaft support portions (shaft holes) 20c and 21c are provided at the front portion of the base end portion, and the operated portions 20b and 21b are provided at portions closer to the base end portion than the respective shaft support portions 20c and 21c. In addition, spring fixing portions 20d and 21d for fixing each end portion of each elastic member 30 as a torsion spring are provided between the respective supported shaft portions 20c and 21c and the operated portions 20b and 21b. .
When assembling each of the clamping members 20 and 21 to the base member 2, the operating portion 41 provided on the movable operation member 40 is both long in a state where the two operated portions 20 b and 21 b that are elongated holes are in communication. Fit loosely in the hole.
When the elastic member 30 brings the holding portions 20a and 21a of the holding members close to each other, the movable operation piece 43 maintains the posture of protruding backward by the pressing force received by the operating portion 41 from the operated portions 20b and 21b. (FIG. 2 (a), FIG. 3 (a)).

Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the movable operation member 40 is moved relatively forward by sandwiching the operation pieces against the elastic member 30 by the insulating jacket 50 having the operation pieces 6 and 43 sandwiched therebetween. When pressed, the pressing members 20 and 21 are rotated in the direction of separating the holding portions 20a and 21a by the pressing force from the operating portion 41 to the operated portions 20b and 21b (FIG. 3B).
In the present embodiment, the actuated parts 20b and 21b are elongated holes provided in the respective base end parts of the clamping members, and the actuating part 41 is provided in the movable operation member 40 and is loosely fitted in each elongated hole. It is a pin-shaped member (moving in the long hole). For this reason, the above behavior is possible.

The movable operation piece 43 is configured to advance and retreat in the front-rear direction along a straight line L connecting the operating parts 41 from the contact positions of the holding parts 20a and 21a.
Furthermore, the fixed operation piece 6 and the movable operation piece 43 have projecting portions 6a and 43a extending from the contact positions of the holding portions 20a and 21a in a direction intersecting (orthogonal) with the straight line L connecting the operation portions 41. . In this example, the overhang portions 6a and 43a protrude on both sides of the clip 1, that is, in the same direction as the direction in which each of the pinching members 20 and 21 is opened, but are orthogonal (intersect) to the opening direction of each of the pinching members. It may be projected in the direction to be directed or may be projected in all directions (illustrated by a broken line in FIG. 2B).
The overhang portions 6a and 43a are portions that serve as clues for sandwiching the operation pieces 6 and 43 by the distal end portion of the insulating jacket 50, and since the overhang portions exist in all directions, the outer peripheral edge of each operation piece It is possible to sandwich any part of the clip by the insulating jacket, and the operability of the clip by the insulating jacket can be improved (FIG. 5A).

In addition, protrusions 6b and 43b are provided on the two opposing long sides of the fixed operation piece 6 and the two opposing long sides of the movable operation piece 43, respectively, to prevent the tip of the insulating jacket from dropping off. However, these ridges are not essential.
All the above components are made of an insulating material such as resin. Only the elastic member 30 can be made of metal.

The procedure for operating the clip 1 for indirect hot wire construction having the above configuration with the YATCO 50 is as follows.
When the clip 1 is attached to the electric wire through the insulating sheet with the insulating sheet folded in half on the electric wire (see FIG. 7), the fixing operation piece 6 as shown in FIG. And the overhang | projection parts 6a and 43a provided in the movable operation piece 43 are pinched | interposed by the front-end | tip part of the insulating Yatco50. At this time, since the two pinching members 20 and 21 are oriented in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the insulating jacket, the two pressing members 20 and 21 are pressed by sandwiching the two pressing members with the insulating jacket. The wire is opened in the direction in which the electric wire is easily sandwiched (direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the electric wire). For this reason, the operator located in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of an electric wire can pinch | interpose a clip with respect to the folding | returning part of an insulating sheet from the position.
In other words, since the overhanging portions 6a and 43a that can be sandwiched by the insulating jacket protrude from the side perpendicular to the electric wire, the overhanging portion can be easily formed by the insulating jacket for the operator located in the direction orthogonal to the electric wire. It is possible to operate by being sandwiched between the two.

Moreover, also when removing the clip 1 in the state attached to the insulation sheet covered with the electric wire using an insulating jacket, the operator located in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the electric wire protrudes toward self. Since it becomes easy to hold | maintain each overhang | projection part 6a, 43a with an insulating jacket, removal work becomes easy.
By using not only the overhang portions 6a and 43a positioned in the opening / closing direction of the pinching members 20 and 21 but also two end edges positioned in a direction perpendicular to the opening and closing direction of the pinching members 20 and 21 as the overhang portions, Needless to say, the detachability of the clip is improved. That is, the projecting portions 6a and 43a in FIG. 2 are formed by projecting the left and right end edges of the operation pieces 6 and 43, but projecting the other two opposite other end edges of the operation pieces 6 and 43. By holding the overhanging portion provided at the other end edge with an insulating jacket, the operator located on the extension in the longitudinal direction of the electric wire can attach and detach the clip to the folded portion of the insulating sheet. Can be increased.
Or the same operation | work can be implemented also by the operator who exists in the direction orthogonal to an electric wire pinching the overhang | projection part which protrudes in the longitudinal direction of an electric wire with an insulating jacket.
As described above, according to the clip of the present invention, the clip can be opened and closed smoothly without performing complicated work such as changing the work position of the operator who operates the insulating jacket or changing the direction of the body. It can be attached to and detached from the pinched object.

<Summary of Configuration, Action, and Effect of the Present Invention>
The clip 1 for indirect hot wire construction method according to the first aspect of the present invention has a base member 2 having two shaft support portions 3 and 4 at a front portion and a fixed operation piece 6 at a rear portion, and two shaft support portions 3 and The front end portions 20c and 21c are pivotally supported by 4 respectively so that the two holding members 20 and 21 for bringing the holding portions 20a and 21a at the distal end closer to each other and the holding members close to each other. Elastic members 30, 30 urging in the direction, actuated parts 20 b, 21 b provided at the respective base end parts of the clamping members, actuating parts 41 engaged with the actuated parts 20 b, 21 b, A movable operation piece 43 extending rearward from the operating portion and projecting rearward beyond the fixed operation piece 6 and supported by the base member 2 so as to be movable back and forth between a position close to and spaced from the fixed operation piece. A movable operation member 40 having an elastic member 30, When 0 is holding the holding portions 20a and 21a of the holding members close to each other, the movable operation piece 43 maintains a posture protruding backward by the pressing force received by the operating portion from the operated portion, and resists the elastic member. When the movable operation member is pressed forward, each pressing member is rotated in a direction in which each holding portion is separated by a pressing force from the operating portion to the operated portion.

  When the two clamping members sandwich the insulating sheet by the tip clamping portion, the fixed operation piece and the edge of the movable operation piece held by the insulation yoke are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the clip (the contact portion between the clamping portions and the contact portion). It extends in a direction intersecting with the straight line connecting the operating portion. For this reason, it becomes possible to operate the clip in a state in which the edge of the clamping member faces the worker, and the work of attaching and detaching the clip to the work object can be facilitated. Similarly, it is convenient to attach a clip held by an insulating jacket to an insulating sheet.

In the second invention, the actuated parts 20b and 21b are elongated holes provided in the respective base end parts of the respective pressing members, and the actuating part 41 is a pin that is loosely fitted in each elongated hole.
In a state where the pin 41 is loosely fitted into the two elongated holes simultaneously, the movable operating piece 43 is advanced and retracted with respect to the fixed operating piece 6, so that the pin 41 advances and retracts in both elongated holes, and each clamping member 20, 21 can be opened and closed.

In the third invention, the movable operation piece 43 advances and retreats in the front-rear direction along a straight line L connecting the contact positions of the holding portions 20 a and 21 a and the operation portion 41.
By constructing the operation pieces 6 and 43 so that the extending direction of the end edges (portions held by the insulating yoke) intersects the straight line L, each holding pressure when the operating pieces are held by the insulating jacket. The extending direction (protruding direction) of the members 20 and 21 can be a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the insulating jacket, so that the workability can be prevented from being lowered depending on the working conditions and working environment.
Even if the movable operation piece 43 is configured to advance and retract in a direction slightly deviated from the straight line L, there is no problem.

In the fourth aspect of the present invention, the fixed operation piece 6 and the movable operation piece 43 are extended portions 6a extending in a direction intersecting (orthogonal) with a straight line L connecting the contact positions of the sandwiching portions 20a and 21a and the operation portion 41. 43a.
The overhang portion may be formed by extending two end edges positioned in the direction in which each of the pinching members 20 and 21 is opened or closed, or may be formed by extending the end edges in other directions. . Or it is good also as extending part by extending all four edges. Furthermore, the projecting portion may be formed in a cross shape, or may have a circular shape, a polygonal shape, or the like.
By providing the overhang portion in all directions of each operation piece, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of the operator's position when operating the clip with the insulating jacket.
