[0002] Cables are widely used in power transmission and distribution, and cable inspection plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe operation of basic power equipment. Traditional cable inspection tasks require inspectors to climb high up the cables to conduct daily inspections. The entire inspection process is carried out at height, which is extremely dangerous and inefficient.
[0003] Currently, when cable damage is discovered during inspections, in order to avoid personal injury or death from electric shock, or short circuits causing overheating and fires, the damaged area must be repaired. The traditional method is to manually climb to a high place to repair the cable. This method has a low safety factor, is prone to causing injury to cable repair personnel, and is inefficient.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a cable repair robot with wind resistance capabilities to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The technical effects and advantages provided by the present invention in the above technical solution are as follows:
[0023] 1. This invention controls the movement of the flight mechanism and uses a clamping part of the positioning and cleaning mechanism to hold the cable to improve the stability of the movement. At the same time, the cleaning part cleans the dust on the surface of the cable. During the movement, a camera is used to capture images and inspect the cable. The cutting mechanism can remove the outer layer of the damaged area and peel off the cut outer layer of the cable. The repair mechanism repairs the cable, so that a new outer layer is formed at the damaged area. This invention can complete the inspection of the cable and the repair of the damaged area without the need for manual cable repair, which is not only safer but also more efficient.
[0024] 2. By starting the drive motor and controlling the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw, the nut seat drives the sliding part to move closer together, and the sliding part drives the moving bracket to move closer together, so that the two clamping wheels clamp the cable, which can make the movement of the device more stable. At the same time, the cleaning brush on the cleaning wheel contacts the cable surface, which can automatically clean the dust on the cable surface. In addition, the air ejected from the air jet hole blows away the falling dust, and the air ejected from the air jet hole can also blow away the dust adhering to the cleaning brush, which can effectively prevent the dust on the cleaning brush from adhering to the cable surface, and further improve the cleaning effect.
[0025] 3. When cutting off the outer sheath of the damaged part of the cable, the arc-shaped repair piece can be used to clamp the cable, which can improve stability and thus improve wind resistance.
[0026] 4. By bolting the assembled protective cover to the outside of the blade, the blade can be protected. Compared with the traditional one-piece protective cover, if a part of the protective cover is damaged during use, the damaged part can be directly replaced without replacing the entire protective cover, thus saving resources.

[0049] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] This invention provides, for example Figure 1-19 The cable repair robot shown includes a body 1. A flight mechanism is installed on the upper part of the body 1. The flight mechanism includes four connecting frames 14 and propellers 15. A protective cover 3 is provided on the outer side of the propellers 15. Landing gears 4 are symmetrically installed on the bottom of the body 1. A camera 2 is installed at the top edge of the body 1. Sliding grooves 11 are symmetrically opened on the bottom plate of the body 1. Two sets of guide grooves 12 are symmetrically opened on one side of the sliding grooves 11. A strip hole is opened on one side of the guide grooves 12.
[0051] The positioning and cleaning mechanism 8 is located between the two landing gears 4. The positioning and cleaning mechanism 8 includes a drive motor 81, a two-way lead screw 82, a clamping part, and a cleaning part located opposite the clamping part. The two-way lead screw 82 is rotatably located inside the body 1. Both the clamping part and the cleaning part are located at the bottom of the body 1.
[0052] The cutting mechanism 6 and the repair mechanism 7 are disposed on one side of the cutting mechanism 6. The cutting mechanism 6 and the repair mechanism 7 are disposed between the clamping part and the cleaning part. The cutting mechanism 6 is used to cut off the outer sheath of the damaged part of the cable, and the repair mechanism 7 is used to repair the damaged part of the cable.
[0053] Specifically, during use, the movement of the flight mechanism control device is controlled by the clamping part set by the positioning and cleaning mechanism 8 to improve the stability of the movement. At the same time, the cleaning part is used to clean the dust on the surface of the cable. During the movement, the camera 2 is used to capture images to inspect the cable. The controller compares the captured images with the images of intact cables stored in the database. If the cable is damaged, the cutting mechanism 6 cuts off the outer skin of the damaged part, and then the repair mechanism 7 repairs the cable to form a new outer skin on the damaged part.
[0054] To improve the stability of the device during inspection, one end of the bidirectional lead screw 82 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 81. Two nut seats 83 with opposite directions of movement are meshed on the outer wall of the bidirectional lead screw 82. Each nut seat 83 has a sliding part on one side that slides into the sliding groove 11. A movable bracket 86 is installed at the bottom of each sliding part. An clearance opening is provided in the middle of the movable bracket 86 to facilitate the operation of the cutting mechanism 6 and the repair mechanism 7. Two through slots are provided on the movable bracket 86, through which the sliding parts slide... The device is equipped with a sliding member 88, and an adaptive spring 87 is installed on one side of the sliding member 88. One side of the sliding member 88 is connected to the movable bracket 86 through the adaptive spring 87. The clamping part consists of two symmetrically arranged clamping wheels 84. A shaft is rotatably provided at the center of each of the two clamping wheels 84. The two shafts are inserted and fixed at the center of the two sliding members 88 located in front. The cross-sectional shape of the clamping wheel 84 is set to V-shape. The drive motor 81 is fixedly installed inside the body 1. The clamping wheel 84 is a rubber wheel to avoid damage to the cable.
[0055] Specifically, when the robot is manually controlled by the remote control device to fly onto the cable, the drive motor 81 is started, controlling the bidirectional lead screw 82 to rotate, causing the nut seat 83 to drive the sliding part to move closer together. The sliding part drives the moving bracket 86 to move closer together, so that the two clamping wheels 84 clamp the cable (the clamping wheels 84 are just in contact with the surface of the cable), which makes the movement of the device more stable. Then, the flying mechanism is used to move the device along the cable, and the camera 2 is used to take pictures to perform cable inspection. During the movement, when the clamping wheel 84 encounters a bulge or damaged position, the elasticity of the adaptive spring 87 and the space in the sliding groove 11 are used to realize the self-adaptation of the clamping wheel 84, so that the clamping wheel 84 can pass smoothly through the bulge or damaged position.
[0056] To clean the dust on the cable surface and further extend the cable's service life, the cleaning section of the structure consists of two symmetrically arranged cleaning wheels 85. Each cleaning wheel 85 includes two fixed discs 851 and a cleaning roller 852 fixedly installed between the two fixed discs 851. The outer wall of the cleaning roller 852 is radially arranged with multiple sets of cleaning brushes 853 and air jets in a circular array. The air jets are spaced apart from the cleaning brushes 853. An air inlet pipe 854 is connected to the center of one end of the cleaning roller 852. The air inlet pipe 854 passes through the center of one of the fixed discs 851. The top end of the air inlet pipe 854 passes through a strip hole and then through a sliding member 88 located at the rear. The air inlet pipe 854 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 88 through a bearing. A limit ring 855 is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the air inlet pipe 854.
[0057] Specifically, as the robot moves along the cable using its flight mechanism, it uses the cleaning brush 853 on the cleaning roller 852 to clean the dust on the cable surface. At the same time, it uses the air jets to blow away the falling dust, and the air jets can also blow away the dust adhering to the cleaning brush 853. This can effectively prevent the dust on the cleaning brush 853 from adhering to the cable surface, and can further improve the cleaning effect.
[0058] In order to cut off the outer sheath of the cable at the damaged location, the cutting mechanism 6 in the structure includes a cutting motor 61, a transmission rod, a cutting part 63, two electric push rods 65 and a locking part 635. The output shaft of the cutting motor 61 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission rod. The cutting motor 61 is fixed to the bottom of the top plate of the body 1. The transmission rod passes through the bottom plate of the body 1 and is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the body 1 through a bearing. A transmission gear 62 is installed at the lower end of the transmission rod.
[0059] In this structure, two electric push rods 65 are symmetrically arranged and both electric push rods 65 are fixed to the bottom of the machine body 1. Each electric push rod 65 has a movable frame 64 installed on its piston rod. Guide slide rails 66 are installed on both sides of the movable frame 64. The guide slide rails 66 are fixed to the bottom of the machine body 1. Two sliding rods 662 are slidably arranged inside the guide slide rails 66. The two sliding rods 662 are connected by a buffer spring 661. Each sliding rod 662 is fixedly connected to the corresponding movable frame 64.
[0060] In addition, the cutting section 63 in the structure is a ring structure, which includes two arc-shaped fixing platforms 631. An arc-shaped slide rail 632 is rotatably arranged on the inner side of the arc-shaped fixing platform 631. A cutting blade 634 is installed at the center of the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped slide rail 632. The cutting blade 634 includes two circular blades 6341 and a blade holder 6343 for fixing the circular blades 6341. The blade holder 6343 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 632 by screws. A peeling blade 6342 is arranged between the two circular blades 6341. One side of the peeling blade 6342 is fixedly connected to the blade holder 6343. Furthermore, an arc-shaped guide bar 6312 is installed on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped fixed platform 631. Several limiting wheels 636 for constraining the arc-shaped slide rail 632 are evenly distributed on one side of the arc-shaped fixed platform 631. An arc-shaped guide rod 633 is provided on the other side of the arc-shaped fixed platform 631. The arc-shaped guide rod 633 is rotatably set in the concave part of the arc-shaped fixed platform 631. Several meshing teeth that mesh with the transmission gear 62 are evenly distributed on the arc-shaped guide rod 633. One side of the arc-shaped guide rod 633 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped slide rail 632, and the other side is provided with an annular groove 6331 that cooperates with the arc-shaped guide rod 633.
[0061] Specifically, when the cutting mechanism 6 moves to the damaged position of the cable, the electric push rod 65 is activated. The electric push rod 65 drives the movable frame 64 to move closer together, so that the arc-shaped fixed platform 631 comes together to form the ring-shaped cutting part 63. At this time, the circular blade 6341 and the stripping blade 6342 on the cutting blade 634 cut into the surface of the cable. Then, the cutting motor 61 is activated, which controls the transmission rod to drive the transmission gear 62. The transmission gear 62 and the meshing teeth drive the arc-shaped guide rod 633 to drive the arc-shaped slide rail 632 to rotate, thereby causing the cutting blade 634 to rotate around the cable once. The circular blade 6341 cuts the surface of the cable, and the stripping blade 6342 peels off the cut-off outer layer from the cable, thus completing the cutting of the outer layer at the damaged position of the cable.
[0062] When not in use, in order to lock the arc-shaped guide rod 633, both locking parts 635 in the structure include an electric locking push rod 6351 that passes through the arc-shaped fixed platform 631. The piston rod of the electric locking push rod 6351 is connected to a connecting arm 6352. The side of the connecting arm 6352 near the arc-shaped guide rod 633 is equipped with multiple locking teeth 6353 that mesh with the meshing teeth. Furthermore, an obstacle 6311 is provided on the outer side of the electric locking push rod 6351. The two ends of the obstacle 6311 are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped fixed platform 631 and the movable frame 64, respectively. The obstacle 6311 facilitates the operation of the locking part 635.
[0063] Specifically, when no cutting work is being performed, the electric locking push rod 6351 is activated. The electric locking push rod 6351 drives the connecting arm 6352 to approach the arc-shaped guide bar 6312, so that the locking teeth 6353 lock the meshing teeth, thereby fixing the arc-shaped slide rail 632 and the arc-shaped guide rod 633 and preventing the arc-shaped slide rail 632 and the arc-shaped guide rod 633 from detaching from the arc-shaped fixing platform 631.
[0064] To repair cables, the repair mechanism 7 in the structure includes a servo motor 73, two symmetrically arranged upright plates 75, and an arc-shaped repair component 71. The servo motor 73 is fixed to the bottom of the top plate of the body 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 73 is sleeved and fixed with a transmission cam 74. The upright plates 75 are fixed to the inner bottom plate of the body 1. A guide rod 751 with a T-shaped cross section is fixedly installed on the lower part of the upright plate 75. A sliding plate 77 with a lower part cooperating with the guide groove 12 is slidably arranged on the outside of the guide rod 751. One side of the sliding plate 77 is in contact with the outer arc surface of the transmission cam 74, and the other side is connected to the upright plate 75 through a connecting spring 76. A crossbar is installed at the bottom end of the sliding plate 77.
[0065] In this structure, the outer arc surfaces of the two arc-shaped repair parts 71 are each equipped with a fixing arm 72, which is fixed to the bottom of the crossbar. Each of the two arc-shaped repair parts 71 is provided with a cooling cavity 713. A repair fluid inlet 715 is provided through the middle of each of the two arc-shaped repair parts 71. Coolant inlets 714 and coolant outlets connected to the cooling cavity 713 are respectively installed on both sides of the repair fluid inlet 715. Multiple guide posts 711 are arranged side by side on one of the arc-shaped repair parts 71, and guide post holes 712 adapted to the guide posts 711 are opened on the other arc-shaped repair part 71. The guide post holes 712 and guide posts 711 are used to position the two arc-shaped repair parts 71, so that the two arc-shaped repair parts 71 fit more tightly.
[0066] Specifically, during repair, the repair mechanism 7 moves to the damaged cable location, then the servo motor 73 is activated to control the transmission cam 74 to rotate 90°. At this time, the short side of the transmission cam 74 contacts the sliding plate 77. The elastic force of the connecting spring 76 causes the sliding plate 77 to drive the two arc-shaped repair parts 71 to come together, forming a complete sleeve. Then, the melt pump 172 is activated to send the repair fluid inside the material box 17 into the repair fluid inlet 715 through the repair fluid pipeline. The repair fluid flowing out of the repair fluid inlet 715 will fill the damaged area of the cable. After cooling and molding, a new protective layer is formed. Compared with traditional repair technology, the repair is more convenient and faster. Moreover, when cutting off the outer sheath of the damaged part of the cable, the arc-shaped repair parts 71 can be controlled to clamp the cable, which can improve stability and thus improve wind resistance.
[0067] In the above technical solution, an air pump 16 is installed inside the body 1. Activating the air pump 16 sends air into the cleaning roller 852, which is then ejected through the jet nozzle.

The inlet of the melt pump 172 is connected to the outlet of the material tank 17 through a pipeline. The outlet of the melt pump 172 is connected to the repair fluid inlet 715 through a repair fluid pipeline. When the melt pump 172 is started, the repair fluid inside the material tank 17 can be sent into the repair fluid inlet 715 through the repair fluid pipeline.
[0068] In this structure, the inlet of the circulating pump 131 is connected to the coolant outlet through a cooling pipe, and the outlet of the circulating pump 131 is connected to the inlet of the coolant storage tank 13. The outlet of the coolant storage tank 13 is connected to the coolant inlet 714 through a cooling pipe. By starting the circulating pump 131, the coolant circulates between the coolant storage tank 13, the cooling pipe, and the cooling chamber 713. The coolant accelerates the cooling of the repair fluid and improves the repair efficiency. A heater 171 is installed through one side of the material tank 17. The heater 171 is used to provide heat and maintain the temperature of the repair fluid.
