[0048] As Figure 11 shown, the present embodiment relates to an automatic tightening and dismounting of the above device and a method for clamping the drainage wire, which comprises automatic tightening of the wire clamp and automatic dismounting of the drainage wire clamp.

[0049] The automatic tightening of the wire clamp comprises:

[0050] Step 1) manually place the wire clamp with the drainage wire on the wire clamp clamping fixing block. When placing the wire clamp, first separate the L-shaped jaw pair from the sleeve of the pneumatic motor, then insert the two conical positioning pins on the wire clamp into the positioning holes of the fixing block, and then release the L-shaped jaw pair and the sleeve of the pneumatic motor in sequence. At this time, the L-shaped jaw pair fixes the wire clamp on the wire clamp fixing block under the action of the spring force. The center line of the sleeve on the pneumatic motor coincides with the center line of the outer hexagonal screw on the wire clamp. The sleeve needs to be manually rotated to embed the outer hexagonal screw on the wire clamp into the sleeve hexagonal groove. The pneumatic motor with the sleeve and the screw on the wire clamp are always in contact under the action of the spring force. At this time, the wire clamp is placed.

[0051] Step 2) Artificially place the fastening device with the clamp through the positioning hole on the workbench. Under the force of gravity, the clamp fastening device is always fixed on the positioning mechanism on the workbench. At this time, the quick-change mechanism interface on the clamp fastening device faces the opposite direction of gravity, facilitating automatic grabbing by the robot.

[0052] Step 3) The robot automatically grabs the clamp fastening device according to the pre-set position through the quick-change mechanism. After the quick-change mechanism at the robot end combines with the quick-change mechanism at the tool end, the gas circuit is automatically connected. At this time, the clamp clamping cylinder is in a retracted state, and the pneumatic motor movable cylinder is in a free state.

[0053] Step 4) The robot places the clamp fastening device with the clamp on the live cable that has been pre-insulated. The robot issues a clamp tightening instruction. At this time, the electromagnetic valve is powered on, the pneumatic motor gas circuit is connected, and the flow control valve opens the gas flow to the maximum value under the clamp tightening instruction. The specific control method is as follows:

[0054] Physical layer: RS485

[0055] Communication protocol: MODBUS protocol

[0056] Transmission format: 8-bit data, 1 stop bit, even parity, RTU mode.

[0057] Baud rate: 9600 bps

[0058] First, read the instantaneous flow

[0059] PC sends command TX: 01 03 00 10 00 02 C5 CE

[0060] PC accepts response RX: 01 03 04 XX XX XX XX XX XX

[0061] Then, set the control mode: 1 floating point number starting from address 116, representing what control mode to use (27 analog mode, 28 digital mode, default 27). Note: when writing the value, write 25 for analog mode and 26 for digital mode. The system will automatically add 2.

[0062] PC sends command TX: 01 10 00 74 00 02 04 00 00 41 D0 C4 B4

[0063] Finally, set the gas flow

[0064] PC sends command TX: 01 10 00 6A 00 02 04 XX XX XX XX XX XX

[0065] The pneumatic motor ventilation switch is always closed by the roller when it is assembled on the fastening device. The pneumatic motor will tighten the wire clamp screw at the maximum rotation speed.

[0066] Step 5) When the robot confirms that the screw tightening instruction duration is completed, the robot will clear the screw tightening instruction. At this time, the solenoid valve loses power, the pneumatic motor gas circuit is closed, and the flow control valve state is switched to standby state.

[0067] Step 6) When the robot confirms that the solenoid valve loses power signal and the flow control valve standby state are correct, the robot sends a wire clamp fastening device separation signal instruction. At this time, the L-shaped clamp jaw extends the clamp cylinder piston rod to separate the L-shaped clamp jaw pair by a certain distance. The pneumatic motor moving cylinder piston rod retracts to separate the sleeve on the pneumatic motor from the wire clamp screw by a certain distance. After the robot confirms that the L-shaped clamp jaw pair clamp cylinder extends to the correct position signal and the pneumatic motor moving cylinder retracts to the correct position signal are correct, it moves vertically downward by a certain distance to completely separate the positioning hole of the wire clamp fixed block from the wire clamp conical positioning pin, and then moves horizontally by a certain distance to completely separate the wire clamp fastening device from the wire clamp. The wire clamp fastening device is automatically placed on the positioning mechanism of the work platform.

[0068] The automatic disassembly of the drainage wire clamp comprises:

[0069] Step a) After the drainage line task is completed, the wire clamp needs to be disassembled. First, the robot automatically grabs the wire clamp fastening device and moves to the wire clamp. At this time, the L-shaped clamp cylinder is in the extended state, the pneumatic motor moving cylinder is in the retracted state, the robot moves horizontally to the wire clamp and makes the vertical wall of the wire clamp fixed block contact with the wire clamp. The robot moves vertically to automatically guide the two conical positioning pins of the wire clamp into the positioning hole of the wire clamp fixed block.

[0070] Step b) The robot sends a clamping instruction. The L-shaped clamp cylinder will retract to clamp the wire clamp. The pneumatic motor cylinder will be in a free state. The pneumatic motor moves towards the wire clamp screw direction under the action of spring force until it completely contacts. At this time, the wire clamp outer hexagonal screw and the sleeve hexagonal groove are in a non-docking state.

[0071] Step c) After the robot confirms that the L-shaped clamp cylinder retraction to position signal and the pneumatic motor cylinder free state signal are correct, it first sends a flow control valve adjustment instruction to adjust the flow control valve to a smaller flow, and then makes the solenoid valve get power. The gas circuit is connected, the pneumatic motor is reversely rotated at low speed after the reverse knob is rotated to the reverse position in advance, the sleeve is slowly rotated to be engaged with the wire clamp outer hexagonal screw, the pneumatic motor moving cylinder reaches the extended position under the action of spring force, the position sensor gets the signal, the robot sends a maximum flow instruction, the flow control valve automatically adjusts the flow to the maximum value, the pneumatic motor rotates at high speed to loosen the wire clamp screw, and the pneumatic motor cylinder is pushed back to the retracted state while the wire clamp screw is loosened.

[0072] Step d) when the robot confirms that the pneumatic motor activity cylinder retraction state signal is correct, the fastening device with the clamp is automatically separated from the live cable and placed on the work platform positioning mechanism, and the robot automatically disassembles the clamp task.

[0073] Through specific experiments, under the working environment of 10kV automatic overlapping of live line without power failure, the robot automatically grabs the clamp fastening device at a height of 13 meters from the ground, and the clamp fastening device performs the clamp screw tightening task under the pressure of 8MPa, and the tightening torque reaches 30NM.

[0074] Compared with the prior art, the pneumatic motor is used as the driving force device for tightening the screw, and the single drive mode is adopted, only one clamp screw is tightened, the clamp fastening device on the work platform is used to realize the tightening task of two clamp screws, the robot can automatically replace the clamp fastening device without manual intervention, the degree of automation is high, the phenomenon of clamp jamming when the fastening device is separated from the clamp and clamps the clamp is avoided, and the working efficiency of the clamp fastening device is improved. In summary, the application of the present application improves the automation degree and stability of the robot in the live working live line overlapping task.

[0075] The above specific embodiments can be adjusted in different ways by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles and purposes of the present application, the protection scope of the present application is subject to the claims and is not limited by the above specific embodiments, and each implementation scheme within the scope is subject to the constraints of the present application.
