Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of overhead line equipment technology, specifically relating to an automated overhead line device and method for power line poles and wires. Background Technology

[0002] Power line poles consist of concrete or metal poles, power lines, and electrical components for securing the lines. When erecting power lines, a manual method of raising the poles and pulling the lines is often used. This requires securing the power lines to the poles and then manually lifting them to the top so that workers on the poles can install the lines. This entire operation is labor-intensive and requires a high degree of coordination among workers, which hinders the speed of power line erection.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application number CN2020111383648 discloses an automated wire-laying device for power poles. It involves setting up a wire-laying pipe that can be bound to the power pole, with a laying pipe inside the pipe for automatically raising the wire to the top of the power pole. A wire-laying mechanism for pulling the wire is set at the top of the laying pipe. This wire-laying method is cumbersome and complex, especially since setting up the wire-laying mechanism on two adjacent power poles is itself a huge workload, particularly when there are many power poles, and the installation of the wire-laying pipe and laying pipe is also costly. Chinese utility model patent application number CN2021227026674 discloses an automated wire-laying device for power poles. This utility model uses the relative movement of clamping blocks on both sides to fix the device to the pole body. Multi-stage telescopic rods can move the wire to a suitable height, and conveying rollers can fix and convey wires of different sizes. This solution requires setting up the wire-laying device on the power pole, which is labor-intensive, and because the wire is a flexible structure, its conveying effect is not very good.

[0004] Therefore, how to erect power poles and wires more efficiently and quickly, and significantly reduce the erection cost, has become the key technical problem to be solved in this solution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated wiring device and method for power poles and wires, which solves the technical problem of how to install power poles and wires more efficiently and quickly, significantly reduces the installation cost, and is convenient and fast, greatly reducing the cost of wire installation.

[0006] An automated power line pole and wire erection device includes a drone, a support set at the bottom of the drone, a pressing structure set on the support, a roller structure connected to the pressing structure and used for conveying the wire, and a bending structure linked to the roller structure. The wire is threaded through the pressing structure, the roller structure and the bending structure.

[0011] The other ends of the first and second rotating rollers are open for the entry and exit of wires.

[0012] The first rotating roller is fitted with an airbag sleeve two, and the second rotating roller is fitted with an airbag sleeve one. The first airbag sleeve one is connected to the second airbag sleeve through a connecting pipe. The first airbag sleeve one is connected to an inflator through an air pipe. The inflator is set on the rotating plate.

[0013] The bending structure includes a U-shaped rod disposed near the first rotating roller and the second rotating roller, a drive shaft connected at one end to the U-shaped rod, and a transmission belt connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft is connected to the first rotating roller or the second rotating roller through the transmission belt.

[0014] The opening of the U-shaped rod is positioned facing the other end of the first and second rotating rollers;

[0015] The drive shaft is hinged to the fixed rod via a positioning seat.

[0016] An arc plate is provided on the side of the rotating plate and on one side of the wire groove, and an arc plate is provided on the side of the support plate and on one side of the wire groove. The arc plate and the arc plate can be detachably snapped together to form a cylindrical structure, and the wire is threaded through the cylindrical structure.

[0017] The limiting structure includes a rotating rod one with one end connected to one end of the hinge shaft, a limiting cylinder with one end perpendicularly connected to the other end of the rotating rod one via a threaded post, a rotating rod two with one end connected to the other end of the hinge shaft, and a limiting screw with one end perpendicularly passing through the other end of the rotating rod two.

[0018] The limiting cylinder is connected to the wire reel separately.

[0019] The support includes a horizontally arranged crossbar, two vertically arranged uprights at both ends of the crossbar, and bolts at both ends of the crossbar. The two ends of the crossbar are connected to the support legs of the UAV by bolts, and uprights or uprights are connected to the crossbar by bolts.

[0020] The bottom end of the electric actuator is hinged to the bottom end of the second upright, and one end of the rotating plate is hinged to the bottom end of the first upright.

[0021] A high-definition camera is mounted on the bracket, and the high-definition camera is wirelessly connected to the display screen, which is set on the ground.

[0022] An automated method for stringing power lines on power poles includes the following steps:

[0023] Step S1: Design the pressing structure, using a rotating plate and a support plate to press the wires together;

[0024] Step S2: Fix the pressing structure to the bracket, and fix the bracket to the support leg under the drone. Use the drone's lifting and lowering to drive the wire to rise and fall.

[0025] Step S3: Near the rotating plate and support plate, set up a rotating roller structure to realize the conveying process of the wire using rotating roller one and rotating roller two;

[0026] More preferably, an airbag sleeve two is fitted on the first rotating roller, and an airbag sleeve one is fitted on the second rotating roller. By inflating the airbag sleeve one and the airbag sleeve two, the pressure of the wire roller can be adjusted.

[0027] Step S4: A bending structure is set near the positions of roller one and roller two to achieve the bending process of the wire.

[0028] This invention achieves the following significant effects:

[0029] (1) It is equipped with a pressing structure. A wire groove one is provided on the bottom surface of the rotating plate and a wire groove two is provided on the upper surface of the support plate. The wire can be clamped into the wire groove one and the wire groove two to achieve the clamping and fixing of the wire.

[0030] In addition, the pressing of the wires by the rotating plate and support plate, together with the rotating roller assembly, also helps in the straightening process of the wires.

[0031] Finally, an arc plate one is provided on the rotating plate, and an arc plate two is provided on the support plate. When the wire is thick, the distance between the rotating plate and the support plate is adjusted by the electric push rod. At the same time, the arc plate one and the arc plate two limit the wire.

[0032] (2) A rotating roller structure is provided, and airbag sleeve 2 and airbag sleeve 1 are respectively provided on rotating roller 1 and rotating roller 2. On the one hand, it helps to adjust the squeezing force of rotating roller 1 and rotating roller 2 on the wire, and the wire conveying speed can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0033] In addition, it can be used for wires with different outer diameters, that is, the inflation intensity of airbag sleeve 2 and airbag sleeve 1 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the wire.

[0034] Finally, the inflation process of airbag sleeve two and airbag sleeve one also serves to limit the power cord.

[0035] (3) It is equipped with a bending structure. When the wire needs to be bent, it is inconvenient for the person to bend it in the air. At this time, the wire is passed through the U-shaped rod, and the U-shaped rod is rotated under the action of the rotating roller structure, so as to achieve the bending of the wire.

[0036] (4) This solution is equipped with a limit structure, which can be used to set the wire reel in the limit cylinder and use the limit bolt to abut against the wire reel, so that the wire reel can be raised and lowered. It can be used in complex erection environments.

[0037] In addition, when the lifting cable reel is not needed and only the cable needs to be lifted, the limiting cylinder and the limiting screw are temporarily removed from the rotating rod one and rotating rod two respectively. The rotating rod one and rotating rod two are rotated upwards, and the limiting cylinder and the limiting screw are reinstalled. At this time, the limiting cylinder and the limiting screw are set above the horizontal bar. Together with the electric push rod, they play the role of strengthening the connection between the horizontal bar and the vertical rod one and vertical rod two.

[0038] (5) This solution adopts a brand-new invention concept and uses drones to lift and erect power lines. There is no need to set up additional erection equipment on the power poles, and the erection distance is not limited. This can greatly improve the erection efficiency and has high safety.

The first gear 73 and the second gear 74 are meshed with each other.

[0054] The other ends of roller 71 and roller 72 are open for the entry and exit of wires.

[0055] Airbag sleeve 183 is fitted on roller 71, and airbag sleeve 182 is fitted on roller 72. Airbag sleeve 182 is connected to airbag sleeve 183 through connecting pipe 184. Airbag sleeve 182 is connected to inflator 18 through air pipe 181. Inflator 18 is mounted on rotating plate 4.

[0057] The opening of the U-shaped rod 61 is positioned facing the other end of the first rotating roller 71 and the second rotating roller 72;

[0058] The drive shaft 62 is hinged to the fixed rod 76 via a positioning seat.

[0059] An arc plate 41 is provided on the side of the rotating plate 4 and on one side of the wire groove 1, and an arc plate 51 is provided on the side of the support plate 5 and on one side of the wire groove 2. The arc plate 41 and the arc plate 51 can be detachably snapped together to form a cylindrical structure, and wires are threaded through the cylindrical structure.

[0060] The limiting structure 20 includes a rotating rod 9 with one end connected to one end of the hinge shaft 15, a limiting cylinder 8 with one end connected perpendicularly to the other end of the rotating rod 9 via a threaded post, a rotating rod 16 with one end connected to the other end of the hinge shaft 15, and a limiting screw 17 with one end perpendicularly passing through the other end of the rotating rod 16.

[0061] The limiting cylinder 8 is connected separately from the wire reel.

[0062] The support includes a horizontally arranged crossbar 1, vertical poles 3 and 11 respectively arranged at both ends of the crossbar 1, and bolts 2 respectively arranged at both ends of the crossbar 1.

[0065] People on the ground can use the display screen to observe the situation at high altitude based on the results shown by the high-definition camera 14, ensuring the accuracy of the operation, preventing the drone from interfering with other power lines at high altitude, and ensuring the safety of the operators at high altitude.

[0066] An automated method for stringing power lines on power poles includes the following steps:

[0067] Step S1: Design the pressing structure 19, and use the rotating plate 4 and the support plate 5 to press the wires together;

[0068] Step S2: Fix the pressing structure 19 to the bracket, which is fixed to the support leg under the drone. Use the drone's lifting and lowering motion to drive the wires to rise and fall.

[0069] Step S3: Near the position of the rotating plate 4 and the support plate 5, set up the rotating roller structure 7, and use the rotating roller 1 71 and the rotating roller 2 72 to realize the transmission process of the wire;

[0070] More preferably, an airbag sleeve 183 is fitted on the first rotating roller 71, and an airbag sleeve 182 is fitted on the second rotating roller 72. By inflating the airbag sleeve 182 and the airbag sleeve 183, the pressure of the wire roller can be adjusted.

[0071] Step S4: A bending structure 6 is provided near the positions of roller 1 71 and roller 2 72 to achieve the bending process of the wire.

[0072] The specific working process of this invention:

[0073] In this solution, a bracket is set up, and the bracket is positioned on the support leg below the drone using bolt 2. A pressing structure 19 is set on the bracket, and the rotation adjustment of the rotating plate 4 can be achieved by using the electric push rod 10, which makes it convenient to place the wires in the wire groove 1 and wire groove 2.

[0074] In addition, the wire passes through the first rotating roller 71 and the second rotating roller 72 at the same time, and the airbag sleeve 18 and the second airbag sleeve 183 are inflated by the miniature inflator 18, which further compresses the wire and helps to increase the clamping force.

[0075] An arc plate 41 is provided on the rotating plate 4, and an arc plate 51 is provided on the support plate 5. When the wire is thick, the distance between the rotating plate 4 and the support plate 5 is adjusted by the electric push rod 10. At the same time, the arc plate 41 and the arc plate 51 limit the wire.

[0076] The device is equipped with a bending structure 6. When a wire needs to be bent, it is inconvenient for a person to bend it by hand in the air. At this time, the wire is manually passed through the U-shaped rod 61. Under the action of the rotating roller structure 7, the U-shaped rod 61 is rotated, thus achieving the bending of the wire.

[0077] In fact, during the normal transmission of the wire, the size design of the U-shaped rod 61 will not affect the transmission process. When it is necessary to bend the wire, manual adjustment is required.

[0078] This solution includes a limiting structure 20, which allows the wire reel to be placed in the limiting cylinder 8. By using the limiting bolts to abut against the wire reel, the wire reel can be raised and lowered. This is suitable for situations with complex installation environments. Specifically, the wire reel includes a hand handle 81 and a wire reel wheel 82. The hand handle 81 is connected to the wire reel wheel 82. The wire reel is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0079] In addition, when the lifting cable reel is not required and only the cable needs to be lifted, the limiting cylinder 8 and the limiting screw 17 are temporarily removed from the rotating rod 9 and the rotating rod 16 respectively. The rotating rod 9 and the rotating rod 16 are rotated upwards, and the limiting cylinder 8 and the limiting screw 17 are reinstalled. At this time, the limiting cylinder 8 and the limiting screw 17 are positioned above the horizontal bar 1. Together with the electric push rod 10, they serve to strengthen the connection between the horizontal bar 1 and the vertical rod 3 and the vertical rod 11.

[0080] This solution employs a novel inventive concept, utilizing a drone for lifting and lowering the power lines. This eliminates the need for additional erection equipment on the utility poles, and the erection distance is unrestricted, significantly improving efficiency and ensuring high safety. In actual operation, one person operates from a high position on the utility pole, while another operates the drone on the ground, working together to erect the power lines. Since the drone is existing technology, no accompanying drawings are provided for the sake of simplicity.

This eliminates the need for additional erection equipment on utility poles, and the erection distance is unrestricted, greatly improving erection efficiency and ensuring high safety. In actual operation, one person is positioned high on the utility pole while another operates the drone on the ground, working together to erect the power lines.

[0082] The technical features of this invention not described can be implemented by or using existing technology, and will not be repeated here. Of course, the above description is not a limitation of this invention, and this invention is not limited to the examples above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this invention should also be within the protection scope of this invention.
