Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cables, and in particular to a mobile cable capable of automatically crawling. Background Art

[0002] At present, construction machinery mainly uses cables to connect to power sources to obtain electricity during construction. Since construction machinery has a large working range and often needs to move, cables often fall in the middle of the road. In addition, construction work requires multiple construction machinery to work at the same time, and the cables scattered on the ground are often crisscrossed. When the construction machinery moves, it is easy to run over the cables, causing the cables to break and become dangerous.

[0003] Regarding the above problems, the main solution at present is to send special safety inspectors to conduct regular inspections. However, if there are many construction machinery, inspectors will often miss some items during the inspection, causing safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problems of the prior art and provide a mobile cable that can automatically crawl to solve the problem that the cable falls on the road and is crushed by construction machinery during power supply construction, causing danger.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A movable cable capable of automatically crawling comprises a cable body, on which is provided: a crawling movable device comprising an elastic body mounted on the cable body, and an internal control device located between the elastic body and the cable body, wherein the elastic body allows the cable body to bend in any specified circumferential direction, and the internal control device is used to control the bending movement of the elastic body; a power matching device, used to obtain electric energy from the inside of the cable body and provide it to the crawling movable device, thereby controlling the bending direction of the elastic body; and a signal acquisition device, used to obtain an action signal from the inside of the cable body and transmit the action signal to the crawling movable device.

[0007] It also includes an external monitoring device, which includes a visual device that can observe the position of the cable body and the surrounding environment of the cable body from the outside, a judgment device that judges the safety of the cable body position, and a command device that can send an action signal to the signal acquisition device according to the judgment result. The judgment device can obtain information on whether the cable is likely to be crushed by the engineering machinery based on the relative position of the cable and the engineering machinery, so as to make a judgment on whether the cable needs to be moved. The command device can send a high-frequency signal from the input end of the cable to the inside of the cable based on the information presented by the judgment device. The signal acquisition device located inside the cable receives the high-frequency signal and transmits the signal to the internal control device, while applying an electrical signal to the elastic body 21.

[0008] These devices installed on a certain part of the cable, in conjunction with an external monitoring device, can allow that part of the cable to stretch and bend in any specified direction, thereby controlling the cable to crawl and move like a snake. When construction machinery is working, inspectors can use external monitoring devices to obtain the location of the cable and the environment around the cable in real time, such as whether there are other construction machinery around, so as to determine whether there are safety hazards at the construction site, which greatly reduces the workload of safety inspectors. When safety inspectors believe that a certain cable may be crushed, they can remotely control the movement of the cable, which not only eliminates safety hazards at the construction site, but also increases the average life of the cable.

[0009] Preferably, the power matching device comprises a power supply end induction coil located inside the cable body and a power receiving end induction coil located outside the cable body. The power matching device is divided into two parts located inside and outside the cable. By electromagnetic induction, high-frequency electric energy is obtained from the input end of the cable to the inside of the cable to power the crawling moving device. The electric energy obtained by the power matching device is provided by the cable itself, and no additional power supply device is required.

[0010] Preferably, the visual device includes a certain number of wireless sensors installed on the cable body and the surrounding area. The wireless sensors in the surrounding area may be installed on the construction machinery or other objects. The wireless sensors send the relative position information of the cable and the construction machinery to the visual device. Based on the information provided by the visual device, the inspector can grasp the position of the cable in real time without going to the construction site.

[0011] Preferably, the internal control device includes a certain number of slider electromagnets, which are divided into two groups, front and rear, and each group of slider electromagnets is evenly surrounded on the cable body. After the slider electromagnet receives the control signal, the slider of the slider electromagnet is pushed toward the center of the cable, and different signals control the movement of different slider electromagnets, thereby pushing the elastic body to bend in different directions.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic body is an electro-biochemical muscle material, and is uniformly wrapped around the outside of the slider electromagnet. When the electro-biochemical muscle is stimulated by an electrical signal, the electro-biochemical muscle contracts, and when the electrical signal stimulation is canceled, the biochemical muscle returns to its original state.

[0013] Preferably, the number of the slider electromagnets is 24, 12 in each group, and the number of the elastic bodies is 12. The 12 elastic bodies can achieve contraction at different positions according to different electrical signal stimulations, and at the same time, cooperate with the movement of the slider electromagnets to bend the cable.

[0014] Preferably, the number of the power matching device, the crawling moving device and the signal acquisition device on the cable body is at least two. That is, at least two sets of the above devices are installed, and by operating the external monitoring system, the sets of devices are coordinated to make the bending directions of adjacent elastic bodies opposite, so that the cable can crawl and move in any direction in an "S" shape like a snake.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) The cable can be moved by remote control to control the cable to move in any direction, thereby preventing the cable from being crushed by engineering machinery and ensuring the safety of the construction site. (2) The cable can transmit electrical energy and signals, so that the crawling device does not need to carry an electrical energy and signal receiving device separately. The overall size of the device is compact and does not affect the normal retraction and release of the cable. (3) For some large and inconveniently movable electrical machinery, the cable can be allowed to find the electrical machinery, which is convenient for the use of the electrical machinery.
