  By the way, in the former indirect hot wire hydraulic cutter, since the grip portion is provided in the connecting portion of the hydraulic hose, the distance between the blade body and the grip portion is short, and the hydraulic cutter is intended when cutting the electric wire. There is almost no risk of deviation from the location.

  On the other hand, in the latter hydraulic cutter shown in FIG. 5, the operation switch portion to be remotely operated is located below the insulating operation rod, and the operation switch and the blade body are separated from each other. Even when the electric wire is cut, there is a disadvantage that the blade body of the cutter body is displaced from the intended location, and a location different from the intended location is cut.

  For this reason, an unexpected impact is applied to the indirect hot wire tool holding the electric wire in the vicinity of the cut portion due to the shift of the cut portion, and the electric wire comes off from the indirect hot wire tool holding and contacts the charging unit. However, there are concerns about inconveniences such as inducing a ground fault.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and in a hydraulic cutter in which a cutter body is provided at the tip of an insulating operation rod, the cutter body is securely fixed at an intended position of an overhead wire to be cut. The main challenge is to provide a hydraulic cutter that can be used.

  In order to achieve the above object, a hydraulic cutter according to the present invention supports a pair of blade bodies so as to be relatively rotatable around a common support shaft at each base end portion, and the pair of blade bodies are hydraulically supported. The cutter body is configured to be opened and closed by using and is configured by attaching the cutter body to the distal end portion of the insulating operation rod, and at the both end portions of the support shaft, on the distal end side of the pair of blade bodies. A lock fitting provided with a pair of arm pieces extending so as to open toward each other and a connecting portion for connecting the base end portions of these arm pieces so as to be rotatable at the portion of the connecting portion; The tip of one arm piece is brought close to the tip of one blade body of the cutter body, and the tip of the other arm piece of the lock fitting is brought close to the tip part of the other blade body of the cutter body. (The pair of cores The lock fitting is provided with a biasing means for biasing the turning force so that the gap between the tip ends of the pieces matches the gap between the tip ends of the pair of blade bodies, and is inserted between the pair of blade bodies. The lock metal fitting is rotated against the urging force of the urging means by pressing the electric wire against one arm piece, and thereby the electric wire is moved between the other arm piece and the one blade body. It is characterized by holding.

  Therefore, if the above-described hydraulic cutter is used, when the electric wire is inserted between the pair of blades, the electric wire is inserted between the pair of arm pieces at the same time, and when the electric wire is pressed against one arm piece, The lock fitting rotates against the urging force of the urging member, and the electric wire is sandwiched and held between the other arm piece and the one blade body. At this time, since the electric wire is pressed against one of the blade bodies, the blade body bites into the coating of the electric wire, and the electric wire does not shift along its own axis. For this reason, the hydraulic cutter is fixed to the location of the electric wire to be cut by the lock fittings provided on both sides of the pair of blade bodies, and in this state, the hydraulic cutter is operated to remove the pair of blade bodies. If closed, it is possible to reliably cut the intended portion of the electric wire.

  Here, when the support shaft for supporting the pair of blade bodies is supported by a pair of support plates provided on both sides of the blade body, the lock fitting is provided on the further outside of the pair of support plates. It is good to.

  By adopting such a configuration, the lock fitting can be provided without changing the configuration of the conventional hydraulic cutter, so that the cutting function of the electric wire is not affected, and the interval of the lock fitting that holds the electric wire is reduced. It becomes possible to ensure as large as possible, and it is possible to form a stable holding state of the electric wire.

  The other arm piece is preferably curved toward the one arm piece. The other arm piece may be shorter than the one arm piece, but the other arm piece is curved as described above to make it difficult for the electric wire to come off between the other arm piece and the one blade body. It becomes possible, and it becomes possible to hold | maintain an electric wire more firmly between the other arm piece and one blade body.

  When the biasing means is constituted by an elastic member that biases the other arm piece of the lock fitting in a direction away from the one blade body, the electric wire inserted between the pair of blade bodies is connected to the pair of arms. In order to ensure insertion between the pieces, a restricting member for restricting a rotation range of one arm piece to the other blade body side may be further provided on one blade body side.

With such a configuration, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the lock fitting is excessively rotated by the biasing means toward the other blade body and the electric wire is difficult to be inserted between the pair of arm pieces.
In order to suppress the slip of the arm piece with respect to the electric wire, an anti-slip means such as a knurling may be provided on the inner surface of the pair of arm pieces.

  As described above, according to the hydraulic cutter according to the present invention, a pair of extension blades that are open at both ends of the support shaft that supports the pair of blade bodies so as to open toward the distal end side of the pair of blade bodies. The lock brackets with arm pieces are pivotably mounted, and the rotational force is applied to each lock bracket so that the gap between the tip portions of the pair of arm pieces matches the gap between the tip portions of the pair of blade bodies. The urging means is provided, and the lock fitting is rotated against the urging force of the urging means by pressing the electric wire inserted between the pair of blades against one arm piece, and the electric wire is moved to the other arm piece. Therefore, it is possible to securely fix the position of the hydraulic cutter to the intended position of the electric wire.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a hydraulic cutter according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In FIG. 1, a hydraulic cutter according to the present invention is shown. This hydraulic cutter 1 insulates a cutter body 2 having a pair of blade bodies (first blade body 11 and second blade body 12) from an insulating operation rod 3. It is attached to the front end of this via an adapter 4.

The adapter 4 includes a star seat 41 connected to the tip of the insulating operation rod 3 at one end, and a connection head 42 that supports the cutter body 2 is provided at the other end.
The connecting head 42 is provided with an angle adjustment knob 43 so that the cutter body 2 can be fixed by adjusting the angle to 0 degrees, 45 degrees, or 90 degrees. A coupling 44 for connecting the hydraulic hose 5 is provided on the lower surface of the coupling head 42, and the hydraulic hose 5 is connected to the coupling 44. The base end of the hydraulic hose 5 can be connected to a hydraulic pump (not shown) via a coupler 6. The hydraulic hose 5 is fixed along the insulating operation rod 3 with a support band 7.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cutter body 2 has a pair of blade bodies (a first blade body 11 and a second blade body 12) rotatably attached to a distal end portion thereof, and a base end thereof. On the side, a pair of blade bodies are operated in the closing direction by the pressure oil supplied via the hydraulic hose 5, and a pair of blade bodies are operated in the opening direction by releasing the hydraulic pressure of the pressure oil. Is provided.

A pair of blade bodies (the first blade body 11 and the second blade body 12) provided at the tip of the cutter body 2 are attached so as to be relatively rotatable around a common support shaft 13. In this example, the first blade body 11 is rotated integrally with the reinforcing body 15, and the second blade body 12 is rotated between the first blade body 11 and the reinforcing body 15. It is configured.
A pair of support plates 14 are disposed outside the first blade body 11 and the reinforcing body 15 so as to sandwich them, and the first blade body 11 and the second blade body are disposed on the pair of support plates 14. The vicinity of both end portions of the support shaft 13 that supports 12 is supported.

  Each blade body 11.12 is formed in a curved shape such that the inner sides facing each other are recessed most in the middle portion, and are provided adjacent to each other on the support shaft 13, and the inner sides facing each other are sharp. The blade edges 11a and 12a are formed at the portions so as to be slidable with each other.

A lock fitting 20 for holding and fixing the electric wire inserted between the first blade body 11 and the second blade body 12 is provided on the outer side of the pair of support plates 14.
The lock fitting 20 is rotatably attached to both end portions protruding from the support plate 14 of the support shaft 13, and is attached to the respective front end portions of the first blade body 11 and the second blade body 12. V provided with a first arm piece 21 and a second arm piece 22 extending so as to open toward the open side, and a connecting portion 23 that connects these arm pieces and is rotatably mounted on the support shaft 14. It is formed in a letter shape.

  The first arm piece 21 is formed such that the distance from the support shaft 13 at the tip portion thereof is substantially equal to the distance from the support shaft 13 at the tip portion of the first blade body 11, and the second arm piece 22 is also formed. In addition, the distance from the support shaft 13 of the tip portion is formed to be substantially equal to the distance from the support shaft 13 of the tip portion of the second blade body 12. In this example, the first arm piece 21 is formed in a straight line, while the other arm piece 22 is formed shorter than the first arm piece 21, and the first arm piece 21 is also formed. It is formed in a shape curved toward the surface.

  Further, the first arm piece 21 and the second arm piece 22 are arranged so that the distal end portion of the first arm piece 21 is close to the distal end portion of the first blade body 11 when viewed from the axial direction of the support shaft 13. When positioned, the tip of the second arm piece 22 is formed so as to be positioned in the vicinity of the tip of the second blade body 12. Accordingly, the separation distance between the respective distal end portions of the first arm piece 21 and the second arm piece 22 is such that the distal end of each blade body in the state where the first blade body 11 and the second blade body 12 are opened. It is formed approximately equal to the separation distance of the parts.

  In such a lock fitting 20, the second arm piece 22 is provided with a biasing member that biases the second arm piece 22 toward the second blade body 12. In this example, the urging member is constituted by a tension spring 30, one end is fixed to a pin 31 provided at the intermediate portion of the second arm piece 22, and the other end is a support shaft 13 on the side surface of the support plate 14. It is fixed to a pin 32 provided at a position shifted to the second blade body side.

  Therefore, as long as the pair of lock fittings 20 is not subjected to a rotational force in the opposite direction that overcomes the urging force of the tension spring 30 with respect to the first arm piece 21, the second arm piece 22 faces the second blade body 12 side. When the rotational force acts on the first arm piece 21 in the opposite direction to overcome the urging force of the tension spring 30, the lock fitting 20 rotates against the urging force of the tension spring 30. In addition, the second arm piece 22 can be turned to the first blade body 11 side.

  The range in which the first arm piece 21 is rotated toward the second blade body (the range in which the lock fitting 20 is rotated toward the second blade body by the tension spring 30) is the first blade body. 11 and the pin 33 provided on the side surface at the tip of the reinforcing body, and the lock fitting 20 is rotated more than necessary so that the openings of the pair of arm pieces do not deviate from the openings of the pair of blades. ing. Further, a knurl 25 is formed on the inner portions of the first arm piece 21 and the second arm piece 22 facing each other.

  In this example, when the first arm piece 21 is in contact with the pin 33 (the second arm piece 22 is the most separated from the first blade body 11), the second arm piece 22 is viewed from the side. The distance L1 between the distal end portion and the distal end portion of the first blade body 11 is larger than the diameter R of the electric wire 100 to be cut (L1> R), and the inner side surface (inner side) of the first arm piece 21 2) in a state where it is rotated until it substantially coincides with the cutting edge 11a of the first blade body 11 in a side view (the state in FIG. 2B), the tip of the second arm piece 22 in a side view The distance L2 from the tip of the first blade 11 is smaller than the diameter R of the electric wire 100 (L2 <R).

  Further, in a state where the first arm piece 21 is in contact with the pin 33, the inner side surface (inner edge) of the first arm piece is on the inner side (second blade side) than the cutting edge of the first blade body. The electric wire 100 inserted between the pair of blade bodies comes into contact with the first arm piece 21 before contacting the first blade body 11.

  An operation switch 8 is attached to the grip portion 3a provided at the lower portion of the insulating operation rod 3. A remote control cord 9 is connected to the operation switch 9, and the base end of the cord 9 is connected to a metal. It is connected to a hydraulic pump (not shown) through an outlet 10. By operating this operation switch 8, the hydraulic pump is operated, and the compression mechanism in the cutter body is operated by the pressure oil supplied through the hydraulic hose 5, and a pair of blade bodies (first blade body 11, first blade body 11, 2 blade bodies 12) can be closed, the hydraulic pump can be stopped to release the hydraulic pressure, and the pair of blade bodies can be opened.

  In the above configuration, the operation of cutting the overhead electric wire 100 using the hydraulic cutter 1 will be described. First, the operation switch 8 is turned OFF and the pair of blade bodies (the first blade body 11 and the second blade body 2) of the cutter body 2 are described. The blade 12) is left open. In this state, the lock metal fittings 20 provided at both ends of the support shaft 13 have the second arm piece 22 brought close to the second blade body 12 by the tension spring 30 and the first arm piece 21 is pinned. 33, the state in which the lock fitting 20 is brought close to the second blade body, that is, the gap between the first arm piece 21 and the distal end portion of the second arm piece 22 of the lock fitting 20 is The lock fitting 20 is rotated to a position that matches the gap between the tip portions of the first blade body 11 and the second blade body 12 as much as possible, and a pair of blade bodies (the first blade body 11 and the second blade body 12). Between the pair of arm pieces) and between the pair of arm pieces (between the first arm piece 21 and the second arm piece 22).

  When the electric wire 100 is inserted between the pair of blades in this state, the electric wire 100 is also inserted between the pair of arm pieces. At this time, even if the electric wire 100 abuts against the second arm piece 22 and is pressed against the second arm piece 22, the lock metal fitting 20 is brought into contact with the pin 33 so that the more than this Since the rotation is prevented, the electric wire 100 is brought close to the connecting portion 23 along the inner side surface (inner edge) of the second arm piece 22. On the other hand, when the electric wire 100 is pressed against the first arm piece 21, the lock fitting 20 rotates against the spring force of the tension spring 30, and the second arm piece is rotated by the rotation of the lock fitting 20. 22 is moved toward the first blade body 11 side.

  Therefore, when the cutter body 2 is approached to the overhead electric wire 100 with the insulating operation rod 3 of the hydraulic cutter 1 and the electric wire 100 is inserted between the pair of blades, the electric wire 100 is inserted between the pair of arm pieces at the same time. When the cutter main body 2 is moved so as to press the inserted electric wire 100 against the first arm piece 21, the lock fitting 20 rotates against the spring force of the tension spring 30, and the electric wire 100 is moved to the first blade. While being brought into contact with the body 11, it is sandwiched and held between the second arm piece 22 and the first blade body 11.

  At this time, since the first blade body 11 bites into the coating of the electric wire 100, in a state where the electric wire is held between the second arm piece 22 and the first blade body 11, the position of the cutter body relative to the electric wire is shifted. Disappears. Further, since the lock fittings 20 are provided at both ends of the support shaft 13 (because they are provided on both sides so as to sandwich a pair of blades between them), the lock metal fittings 20 hold the electric wires at two spaced positions. And a stable holding state is formed. Particularly in this example, since the second arm piece 22 is curved toward the first arm piece 21, the electric wire 100 disposed between the second arm piece 22 and the first blade body 11 is not provided. The holding state is unlikely to come off, and the displacement of the cutter body 2 can be more effectively suppressed.

  Therefore, the position of the cutter body 2 with respect to the electric wire 100 is fixed by the pair of lock fittings 20, and if the operation switch 8 is operated as it is, it is possible to reliably cut the intended portion of the electric wire 100 to be cut. Become.

  In the above-described configuration, the distal end portion of the first arm piece 21 of the lock fitting 20 is brought close to the distal end portion of the first blade body 11 of the cutter body 2 and the distal end portion of the second arm piece 22 is moved to the first position. As an urging means for urging the lock metal fitting 20 so as to be close to the tip end of the second blade body 12, it is constituted by a tension spring 30 provided between the second arm piece 21 and the support plate 14. However, the present invention is not limited to this as long as it is a configuration that can realize any function. For example, other configurations such as providing a tension spring between the first arm piece and the pin 33 are possible. May be substituted.
