[0040] The working principle of the present application will be described below in combination with the drawings:
[0041] The high-voltage line inspection robot adopting the present application is hung on the line, at this time, the clamping mechanism is in an open state, the high-voltage line inspection robot only contacts the high-voltage transmission line 4 through the walking wheel 3-8, when the slope of the high-voltage line is small, the clamping mechanism can be kept in an open state or a semi-clamping state, through the forward and reverse rotation of the walking motor 3-5, the walking wheel 3-8 is driven to rotate forward and reversely, so that the high-voltage line inspection robot advances or retreats on the high-voltage line to perform the inspection operation.
[0042] When encountering a large slope of the high-voltage line, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 12 To avoid the slipping phenomenon of the walking wheel 3-8 of the inspection robot due to insufficient friction, the clamping motor 2-1 drives the screw rod 2-5 to rotate through the shaft coupling 2-4, and then drives the clamping jaw 2-9 connected with the screw rod nut 2-6 to move upward, so that the pressing wheel 2-10 appropriately clamps the high-voltage transmission line 4, and the friction between the walking wheel and the line is increased, so as to ensure the normal inspection operation of the robot, when the slope of the high-voltage transmission line 4 changes, the clamping mechanism 2 will automatically rotate around the walking wheel shaft 3-1, so that the inspection robot can completely adapt to the angle change of the high-voltage line.
[0043] When it is necessary to cross obstacles such as towers, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 13 The clamping motor 2-1 is reversely rotated, the screw rod 2-5 is driven to rotate through the shaft coupling 2-4, and then the clamping jaw 2-9 connected with the screw rod nut 2-6 is driven to move downward, the tower is clamped by the clamping jaw 2-9 and the walking motor support 3-3, and the circular arc upper surface of the walking motor support 3-3 can ensure that the clamping force always passes through the walking wheel shaft 3-1.
