Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pulling sheaves, and particularly relates to a device for a drone to lay a guiding rope through a sheave. Background Art

[0002] In the construction of overhead conductor pulling, after the construction section, the tension field is selected, and the sheave is suspended, it is necessary to suspend a guiding rope on the sheave. Generally, the guiding rope is segmented at 800m - 1200m, with plug-in end loops made at both ends, and coiled on a special guiding rope reel. The primary guiding rope is generally laid in the air, that is, using an aircraft or other equipment (launcher, etc.) to lay the primary guiding rope. According to the capabilities of the aircraft or launcher, the line is divided into laying sections for laying. The primary guiding rope is gradually lowered to the top of the tower, and then manually moved and transitioned into the pulling sheave of the required phase (pole). Each section is connected to make it continuously connected within the construction section. Currently, most construction units use drones to suspend the guiding rope, use the drones to pull the guiding rope to near the sheave, and manually open the side plate of the sheave to put the guiding rope into the sheave. However, when using this method, the efficiency is slow, and manual assistance on the tower is required. At the same time, the device cannot accurately guide the flight direction of the drone during the crossing process, and the center of gravity of one end of the guiding rope installed on the device is not stable enough.

[0003] In the Chinese patent document CN207442331U, "A direct-through type pulling sheave for primary guiding rope in the stage of laying primary guiding rope", although this solution uses the pulling sheave to lay the primary guiding rope without the cooperation of high-altitude personnel, saving manpower and avoiding potential safety hazards. However, due to the limited space of the drone direct-through frame in the solution, if not careful, the drone will collide with the drone direct-through frame when drilling through the pulling sheave. Moreover, the frame of the pulling sheave is easily stuck between the rotor structures of the drone, and there is still no reference when the drone drills through the pulling sheave, and the flight direction of the drone cannot be accurately controlled, which is prone to collisions, damaging the propellers or the fuselage, etc., causing economic losses. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a device for a drone to lay a guiding rope through a sheave, which can solve the problem of no direction guidance for the drone during the process of crossing the pulling sheave, reduce the risk of drone collision, and at the same time increase the overall stability of the device during use, and does not require the cooperation of high-altitude personnel, reducing labor costs and increasing work efficiency.

[0031] The attached drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as a limitation of this patent; for better illustrating this embodiment, some components in the attached drawings are omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the dimensions of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the attached drawings may be omitted. Detailed implementation manners

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the attached drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] Such as Figure 1-10As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a device for a drone to deploy a guiding rope through a pulley, which includes a drone 4, a first structural frame 1, and a second structural frame 2. There are three sets of traversing mechanisms 3 between the first structural frame 1 and the second structural frame 2. A connecting rod 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drone. The other end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly provided with a connecting soft rope 22, and the connection between the connecting rod 5 and the connecting soft rope 22 is the middle of the connecting soft rope 22. The two ends of the connecting soft rope 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the first structural frame 1. The device composed of the first structural frame 1, the second structural frame 2, and the traversing mechanism 3 can move under the drive of the drone 4.

[0034] As Figure 1-10 shown, a first guiding mechanism is fixedly provided at the front end of the first structural frame 1, and a second guiding mechanism is provided at the front end of the second structural frame 2. In this embodiment, the first guiding mechanism is a first guiding horn 6, and the second guiding mechanism is a second guiding horn 7. When the device does not contact the wire-pulling pulley, under the influence of gravity, the first structural frame 1 is located above the second structural frame 2, and the traversing mechanism 3 is in a vertical state. At this time, with the cooperation of the first guiding horn 6 and the second guiding horn 7, when looking from top to bottom, the two guiding horns form a "person" character, which is convenient for the side rod of the subsequent wire-pulling pulley to better pass through the traversing mechanism 3. A guiding rope connecting mechanism is fixedly provided at the tail end of the second structural frame 2. In this embodiment, the guiding rope connecting mechanism is a guiding rope connecting bent plate 8. The other end of the guiding rope connecting bent plate 8 is connected to a guiding rope. The guiding rope connecting bent plate 8 not only plays a role in connecting the guiding rope, but also can adjust the center of gravity of the entire device body, making the overall device run more smoothly.

[0035] As Figure 5-10As shown in the figure, the traversing mechanism 3 includes a first reset rod 9, a second reset rod 10, and a limiting component 15. One end of the first reset rod 9 is rotatably arranged in the first structural frame 1, and the other end is located in the second structural frame 2. A first reset mechanism 11 is provided at one end of the first reset rod 9 located in the first structural frame 1, and the other end of the first reset mechanism 11 is located on the first structural frame 1 for resetting the first reset rod 9. One end of the second reset rod 10 is rotatably arranged on the second structural frame 2, and the other end of the second reset rod 10 does not contact the first structural frame 1. A second reset mechanism 12 is provided at one end of the second reset rod 10 located on the second structural frame 2, and the other end of the second reset mechanism 12 is arranged on the second structural frame 2 for resetting the second reset rod 10. The limiting component 15 includes a U-shaped baffle 16 and a pin 17. The U-shaped baffle 16 is fixedly arranged on the second structural frame 2 and is located on one side of the first reset rod 9 close to the second structural frame 2. The pin 17 is inserted through the U-shaped baffle 16 from top to bottom, and the bottom end of the pin 17 is inserted into a limiting groove 20 opened at one end of the first reset rod 9 located in the second structural frame 2. A pressing plate 18 is fixedly arranged on the pin 17, and a compression spring 19 is fixedly connected between the upper surface of the pressing plate 18 and the top of the U-shaped baffle 16, and the compression spring 19 is sleeved on the pin 17. A dial block 13 is connected between the second reset rod 10 and the pin 17. One end of the dial block 13 is rotatably connected to the middle of the second reset rod 10. A chute 14 is opened on the dial block 13, and the pin 17 is arranged in the chute 14. The upper surface of the pressing plate 18 is attached to the upper surface of the dial block 13. There is a bend on the upper surface of the dial block 13, and the end close to the pin 17 is lower than the end close to the second reset rod 10. When the second reset rod 10 is forced to rotate backward, it drives the dial block 13 to move, so that the pin 17 and the pressing plate 18 move relative to the dial block 13 along the chute 14. When the pressing plate 18 moves to the bend on the dial block 13, the pressing plate 18 is lifted and drives the pin 17 to move upward, so that the pin 17 withdraws from the limiting groove 20 on the first reset rod 9.

[0036] As Figure 5-10 shown, the first reset rod 9 is L-shaped, and the long side of the first reset rod 9 is located between the first structural frame 1 and the second structural frame 2, and the short side of the first reset rod 9 is located outside the first structural frame 1. A first reset mechanism 11 is provided between the short side of the first reset rod 9 and the first structural frame 1. The first reset mechanism 11 includes first columns respectively located on the first reset rod 9 and the first structural frame 1, and a first reset spring connected between the two first columns for resetting the first reset rod 9 after the side rod of the wire-releasing pulley passes through the first reset rod 9.

[0037] As Figure 5-10As shown, there is no contact between the other end of the second reset rod 10 and the first structural frame 1. A second reset mechanism 12 is provided between the end of the second reset rod 10 close to the second structural frame 2 and the second structural frame 2. The second reset mechanism includes second columns respectively located on the second reset rod 10 and the second structural frame 2, and a second reset spring connected between the two second columns. After the trolley side rod passes through the second reset rod 10, the second reset rod 10 is reset by the second reset spring.

[0038] As Figure 5-10 shown, the first reset rod 9 is located on one side of the limit groove 20 and a slope 21 is provided facing the second reset rod 10. The bottom end of the slope 21 protrudes forward and is flush with the lower surface of the first reset rod 9. After the trolley side rod completely passes through the first reset rod 9, the first reset rod 9 rebounds under the drive of the first reset mechanism 11. When the insertion pin 17 contacts the slope 21, the insertion pin 17 will move upward along the slope 21 under the action of the resilience of the first reset rod 9 until it moves into the limit groove 20, thereby limiting the first reset rod 9 again.

[0039] When the present invention is in use:

[0040] Control the drone 4 to drive the overall device to move. Under the action of gravity, the second structural frame 2 droops downward, causing the first guiding horn 6 and the second guiding horn 7 to respectively deviate to both sides of the side rod of the wire laying pulley. At the same time, control the "person" shape formed by the first guiding horn 6 and the second guiding horn 7 to pass through the side rod of the wire laying pulley, and continue to control the drone 4 to move forward. As the device gradually moves along the side rod of the wire laying pulley, the first structural frame 1 and the second structural frame 2 gradually turn and are located on the same horizontal plane. When the side rod of the wire laying pulley contacts the first set of passing mechanisms 3, the side rod of the wire laying pulley first contacts the second reset rod 10 and drives the second reset rod 10 to rotate. At the same time, while the second reset rod 10 rotates, it drives the slider 13 to move. When the bend on the slider 13 contacts the pressing plate 18, it gradually drives the pressing plate 18 to move upward. The upward movement of the pressing plate 18 drives the insertion pin 17 to move upward accordingly, so that the insertion pin 17 withdraws from the limit groove 20 on the first reset rod 9, releasing the limit on the first reset rod 9. Subsequently, the side rod of the wire laying pulley contacts the first reset rod 9 and drives the first reset rod 9 to rotate. At this time, the first reset rod 9 completely disengages from the contact with the second structural frame 2. Due to the existence of the subsequent two sets of passing mechanisms 3, the overall device remains stable. When the side rod of the wire laying pulley completely passes through the second reset rod 10 but has not completely passed through the first reset rod 9, the second reset rod 10 is driven by the second reset mechanism 12 to perform a reset rebound, and at the same time drives the slider 13 to move, causing the pressing plate 18 to gradually move downward and driving the insertion pin 17 to move downward. After the side rod of the wire laying pulley completely passes through the first reset rod 9, the first reset rod 9 rebounds under the drive of the first reset mechanism 11. When the slope 21 on the first reset rod 9 contacts the insertion pin 17, the insertion pin 17 moves along the slope 21 under the action of the resilience of the first reset rod 9 until the insertion pin 17 moves into the limit groove 20. At this time, the first reset rod 9 is reset, and the insertion pin 17 completes the limit on the first reset rod 9;

[0041] Subsequently, driven by the drone, the side rod of the wire laying pulley passes through the second set and the third set of passing mechanisms 3 in sequence. When passing through the second set of passing mechanisms 3, the first and third passing mechanisms 3 provide stability for the device. When passing through the third set of passing mechanisms 3, the first and second passing mechanisms 3 provide stability for the device, ensuring that the overall mechanism does not disperse when the device passes through each set of passing mechanisms. When the side rod of the wire laying pulley completely passes through the three sets of passing mechanisms 3, control the drone to drive the overall device to adjust the direction, thereby adjusting the position of the guiding rope on the guiding rope connecting bent plate 8, and completing the work of guiding the guiding rope through the wire laying pulley.
