Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power line de-icing technology, and specifically relates to a de-icing tool. Background Technology

[0002] During the harsh winter, power lines are highly susceptible to icing. Thick layers of ice adhering to these lines pose a significant threat, not only greatly increasing their load and potentially leading to serious accidents such as line breakage and pole collapse, but also affecting the stability and safety of power transmission. Therefore, workers must regularly remove ice from power lines to ensure their normal operation. De-icing tools are specifically designed to address this problem. These tools come in various types, and their core function is to effectively break the bond between ice and the surface through physical methods such as tapping, chemical melting, or thermodynamic heating. This allows for safe, efficient, and precise de-icing operations, safeguarding the stable operation of power facilities.

[0003] Currently, power line de-icing relies heavily on traditional methods, where operators use hand tools to tap and scrape the surface of the power lines in an attempt to remove the ice. However, this method has significant drawbacks. Firstly, the de-icing effect is often unsatisfactory; thick or stubborn ice layers are frequently difficult to remove completely, and residual ice may still pose a threat to power line safety. Secondly, the force and angle of manual tapping and scraping are difficult to control precisely. During the operation, improper force or operational errors can easily cause scratches, abrasions, or even breakage of the power lines, affecting their normal use and lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a de-icing tool to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to a highly efficient and intelligent de-icing tool, comprising a drone body with two symmetrically arranged movable frames slidably connected inside. These frames are precisely connected via bidirectional threaded rods, enabling synchronous and stable relative movement. Each movable frame is tightly connected to a heating element via a robust connecting rod, ensuring the stability and reliability of the heating element during movement. A slidably connected mobile bracket is also present on the mobile frame, featuring a rotating mounting structure on which an ice-breaking wheel is rotatably mounted. The ice-breaking wheel is fixedly mounted to the output end of a micro-motor via a precise mechanical connection, enabling efficient ice breaking driven by the micro-motor. The mobile bracket is connected to the output end of a drive cylinder, and its position is precisely controlled by the extension and retraction of the drive cylinder, thereby adjusting the working state of the ice-breaking wheel. An infrared camera is also fixedly mounted on the drone body for real-time monitoring of the ice layer, providing accurate data support for de-icing operations. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor. The rotation direction of the bidirectional threaded rod is controlled by the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor, thereby enabling the two moving frames to move closer or further apart.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive motor is securely mounted inside the drone body to ensure its stability during operation. One end of the connecting rod is firmly fixed to the mobile frame via welding or bolting, while the other end is reliably fixed to the heating assembly, forming a stable connection structure. The micro motor is also fixedly mounted inside the mobile frame to provide continuous and stable power output to the ice-breaking wheel.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to enhance the cushioning effect of the drone during landing, a first buffer plate is fixedly installed on the lower part of the drone body. The first buffer plate is connected to a second buffer plate through a buffer spring. One end of the buffer spring is fixedly installed on the first buffer plate, and the other end is fixedly installed on the second buffer plate, forming an effective buffer system to reduce the impact on the drone during landing.

[0009] Furthermore, the second buffer plate is connected to the landing gear via a connector. One end of the connector is fixedly installed on the second buffer plate, and the other end is fixedly installed on the landing gear to ensure the stability and reliability of the landing gear.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive cylinder is fixedly mounted on the connector, and the stable operation of the drive cylinder is ensured by the sturdy support of the connector. The surface of the ice-breaking wheel is made of a soft and wear-resistant material, which can effectively break ice while reducing damage to objects under the ice. The heating component is arc-shaped, a design that can better conform to the ice surface and improve heating efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to make full use of solar energy resources, a solar panel is fixedly installed on the top of the drone body. Several solar panels are provided and connected together in series or parallel to provide the drone with a continuous and environmentally friendly energy supply.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This de-icing tool utilizes multiple components mounted on a drone to achieve efficient de-icing. An infrared camera precisely locates the iced cable. After the drone lands, a drive motor rotates a bidirectional threaded rod, causing two moving frames to move relative to each other and tighten the cable. A heating component moves closer to the cable along with the moving frames and quickly melts the ice. Once the ice has softened, a micro-motor drives an ice-breaking wheel, while a drive cylinder pushes the moving frames. The position of the ice-breaking wheel is adjusted according to the cable thickness, and the soft-material ice-breaking wheel effectively removes any remaining ice. This design makes the de-icing process continuous and efficient, and adaptable to cables of different thicknesses, greatly improving the tool's applicability and operational efficiency.

[0014] 2. During the drone's descent, the first buffer plate initially cushions the impact upon contact with the landing surface. Then, the buffer springs compress to absorb the impact force, which is then transmitted through the second buffer plate and connecting components. Finally, the landing gear supports the drone for a smooth landing, effectively protecting its internal components and extending its service life. Furthermore, several solar panels mounted on the top of the drone continuously convert solar energy into electricity during de-icing operations, providing partial power to the drone, extending its flight time, ensuring the smooth progress of de-icing operations, and reducing operational interruptions due to insufficient energy.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a highly efficient and intelligent de-icing tool, including a drone body 1. Inside the drone body 1, two movable frames 2 are slidably connected, connected by a bidirectional threaded rod 3. Rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 3 allows for relative movement between the two movable frames 2. The movable frames 2 are connected to a heating component 5 via a connecting rod 4, which provides a stable connection and transmits power. A movable frame 6 is slidably connected to the movable frame 2, and an ice-breaking wheel 7 is rotatably mounted on the movable frame 6. The ice-breaking wheel 7 is fixedly mounted on the output end of a micro motor; the micro motor's operation drives the ice-breaking wheel 7 to rotate, thus achieving the ice-breaking function. The movable frame 6 is connected to the output end of a drive cylinder 8, which pushes the movable frame 6 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the ice-breaking wheel 7. An infrared camera 9 is also fixedly mounted on the drone body 1 for real-time monitoring of the ice surface. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 3 is fixedly mounted on the output end of a drive motor 10, which provides power for the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 3.

[0026] The working principle of the efficient and intelligent de-icing tool proposed in this utility model is as follows: When using this efficient and intelligent de-icing tool, the infrared camera 9 fixed on the main body 1 of the drone is first used to accurately lock onto the icy cable and determine its specific location and status. Then, the drone is controlled to fly to the location of the icy cable and land smoothly on the cable.

[0027] Next, the drive motor 10 is started, which drives the bidirectional threaded rod 3 fixed at its output end to rotate. Since two mobile frames 2 are slidably connected inside the main body 1 of the drone and are connected by the bidirectional threaded rod 3, the two mobile frames 2 will move relative to each other along the bidirectional threaded rod 3 under the action of the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 3, gradually approaching the icing cable and tightening it.

[0028] Then, the heating component 5, which is connected to the mobile frame 2 via the connecting rod 4, is activated. The heating component 5 generates heat to melt the tightened icy cable, gradually softening the ice layer on the cable surface.

[0029] After the ice has melted to a certain extent, the micro motor mounted on the movable frame 6 is activated, driving the ice-breaking wheel 7, which is fixed at its output end, to rotate. Considering the differences in cable thickness, the drive cylinder 8 comes into play. Its output end is connected to the movable frame 6, and the drive cylinder 8 pushes the movable frame 6 to move, thereby moving the ice-breaking wheel 7 to a suitable contact position with the cable surface. The high-speed rotating ice-breaking wheel 7 then sweeps away the softened ice layer on the cable, thoroughly removing any remaining ice. This completes the de-icing operation of the frozen cable.

[0030] In one embodiment, the drive motor 10 is fixedly installed inside the drone body 1 to ensure its stability during operation. One end of the connecting rod 4 is fixedly installed on the mobile frame 2, and the other end is fixedly installed on the heating component 5. This connection method ensures that the heating component 5 can move with the mobile frame 2. The micro motor is fixedly installed inside the mobile frame 6 to provide stable power output for the ice-breaking wheel 7.

[0031] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned drone body 1, a first buffer plate 11 is fixedly installed below the drone body 1, and the first buffer plate 11 plays a preliminary buffering role. One end of a buffer spring 12 is fixedly installed on the first buffer plate 11, and the other end of the buffer spring 12 is fixedly installed on a second buffer plate 13. When the drone lands, the buffer spring 12 can effectively absorb the impact force and protect the internal parts of the drone.

[0032] In one embodiment, for the second buffer plate 13, one end of the second buffer plate 13 is fixedly installed with a connector 14, which serves to connect and support, and the other end is fixedly installed with a landing gear 15, which is used to support the smooth landing of the UAV.

[0033] In one embodiment, the drive cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the connector 14, ensuring the stability of the drive cylinder 8 during operation. The surface of the ice-breaking wheel 7 is made of a soft material, which can effectively break ice while reducing damage to objects below the ice surface. The heating component 5 is arc-shaped, which increases the heating area and improves de-icing efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned drone body 1, a solar panel 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the drone body 1. Several solar panels 16 are provided. The solar panels 16 can convert solar energy into electrical energy to provide part of the power for the drone and extend the drone's flight time.

[0035] The working principle of the efficient and intelligent de-icing tool proposed in this utility model is as follows: When using this efficient and intelligent de-icing tool to carry out de-icing operations, the infrared camera 9 fixed on the main body 1 of the drone first locks the position of the icy cable, and then the drone is controlled to fly above the cable and land smoothly. At this time, the first buffer plate 11 under the main body 1 of the drone first contacts the landing surface, which plays an initial buffering role. Then, the buffer spring 12 on the first buffer plate 11 begins to compress, absorbing the impact force of landing. This force is transmitted through the second buffer plate 13 and the connecting piece 14, and finally supported by the landing gear 15, allowing the drone to land smoothly and protecting the internal parts of the drone.

[0036] After landing and stabilizing, the drive motor 10, which is fixedly installed inside the drone body 1, is activated. The drive motor 10 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 3 fixed at its output end to rotate. Since there are two movable frames 2 slidably connected inside the drone body 1, and the two are threadedly connected by the bidirectional threaded rod 3, the two movable frames 2 move relative to each other as the bidirectional threaded rod 3 rotates, gradually approaching and tightening the icing cable. Because one end of the connecting rod 4 is fixed to the movable frame 2 and the other end is fixed to the heating component 5, the heating component 5 will move closer to the cable as the movable frame 2 moves.

[0037] The heating component 5 is activated; its arc-shaped design increases the heating area, enabling rapid melting of ice on the cable. Once the ice has melted to a certain extent, the micro motor fixedly installed inside the moving frame 6 is activated, driving the ice-breaking wheel 7, which is fixed at its output end, to rotate. Since the drive cylinder 8 is fixedly installed on the connector 14, and its output end is connected to the moving frame 6, the moving frame 6 can be moved by the drive cylinder 8 to adjust the position of the ice-breaking wheel 7 for cables of different thicknesses. This ensures that the ice-breaking wheel 7, made of a soft material, makes proper contact with the cable surface, effectively cleaning away any remaining ice.

[0038] During the de-icing operation, several solar panels 16 on the top of the drone body 1 continuously convert solar energy into electrical energy, providing some power for the drone, extending its flight time, and ensuring the smooth progress of the de-icing operation.
