Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The embodiment of the present application relates to the technical field of power equipment maintenance and repair, in particular to an overhead line bird damage prevention device and an overhead line bird damage prevention method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Current power line operation status: At present, most 10-kilovolt rural network lines are scattered in fields, and most of them adopt overhead bare conductors. During the bird breeding period in spring every year, birds build nests on cross arms, and the twigs, especially iron wires, are hung between the conductors and cross arms, which can easily cause grounding and short circuit faults of the line, and even cause the occurrence of fire accidents.

[0003] Current bird damage prevention measures are mostly divided into four kinds. One is to install bird repellers and bird repelling plates, etc. Although this kind of device is convenient to install, it is easily damaged by adverse weather such as strong wind after a period of operation, and even some bird repelling devices are covered by birds with twigs, etc., and cannot play the role of repelling birds. Two is to replace the overhead insulated wire by power off, which can effectively avoid bird damage, but the rural network line is scattered and wide, and cannot be developed in a large area due to the influence of funds. Three is to install needle type insulator sheath by power off, which can insulate the top of the insulator and the conductor near the insulator, so as to form insulating isolation between the bare conductor and the cross arm. However, the sheath is single in form, and the insulator types are various in the rural network site, which cannot form matching insulation treatment. Four is that due to the uncertainty of the nest building site of birds every year, the insulating sheath needs to be installed by power off, and the bird damage prevention effect is not obvious.

In the case of no conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, according to the first aspect of the embodiments of the present application, an overhead line bird damage prevention device is provided, comprising: an aircraft 110; a clamp 120, the clamp 120 is arranged on the aircraft 110, the clamp 120 is used for clamping an insulating sleeve 140; a pulling member 130, one end of the pulling member 130 is connected to the aircraft 110, the other end is used for being connected to the insulating sleeve 140, the pulling member 130 is used for applying stress to the insulating sleeve 140 to make the opening of the insulating sleeve 140 open.

[0043] The aerial line bird damage prevention device provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a flying device 110, a clamp 120 and a pulling device 130. In use, an insulating sleeve 140 is connected to the clamp 120, and then the pulling device 130 is connected to the insulating sleeve 140. The pulling device 130 applies stress to the insulating sleeve 140 to open an opening on the insulating sleeve 140. The flying device 110 is controlled to fly above the aerial line and the insulator. Then the flying device 110 is controlled to press down, so that the insulating sleeve 140 is sleeved on the insulator and / or the aerial line. Finally, the pulling device 130 is relaxed to remove the stress applied to the insulating sleeve 140, so that the insulating sleeve 140 wraps the insulator and / or the aerial line, thereby achieving the effect of preventing bird damage. The aerial line bird damage prevention device provided by the embodiment of the present application installs the insulating sleeve 140 by the flying device 110. During installation, only the insulating sleeve 140 contacts the power equipment, so that the insulating sleeve 140 can be assembled under the live condition, and the installation of the insulating sleeve 140 does not need to be climbed, thereby reducing the installation cost of the insulating sleeve 140 and facilitating the installation of the insulating sleeve 140. The insulating sleeve 140 and the pulling device 130 are arranged. Before the insulating sleeve 140 is assembled, the pulling device 130 applies stress to the insulating sleeve 140 to open the opening on the insulating sleeve 140. After the insulating sleeve 140 is assembled in place, the stress applied to the insulating sleeve 140 is removed, so that the insulating sleeve 140 is sleeved on the insulator and / or the aerial line. The insulating sleeve 140 is more closely attached to the insulator and the aerial line. Even in bad weather such as strong wind, the insulating sleeve 140 can fully contact the insulator and the aerial line, thereby improving the service life and insulation effect of the insulating sleeve 140.

[0044] In a possible implementation, the inner wall contour of the insulating sleeve 140 is adapted to the outer wall contour of the aerial line. The insulating sleeve 140 is provided with an opening. The opening is opened under the stress applied by the pulling device 130 to the insulating sleeve 140, and the opening is closed when the stress applied to the insulating sleeve 140 is removed.

[0045] In the technical scheme, the style of the insulating sleeve 140 is further provided. The insulating sleeve 140 can comprise an opening. The opening facilitates the opening and closing of the insulating sleeve 140. After the insulating sleeve 140 is assembled, the insulating sleeve 140 is better attached to the insulator and the aerial line. The insulating sleeve 140 can adapt to bad weather adjustment, improve the effect of preventing bird damage, and improve the service life of the insulating sleeve 140.

[0046] In a possible implementation, the inner wall of the insulating sleeve 140 is provided with anti-skid grooves or anti-skid protrusions.

[0047] In the technical scheme, the inner surface of the insulating sleeve 140 can be further provided with anti-skid grooves or anti-skid protrusions, so that the friction between the insulating sleeve 140 and the overhead line or the insulator is greater, the probability of the insulating sleeve 140 falling off is reduced, and the fixing of the insulating sleeve 140 is more reliable.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In an implementable embodiment, the pulling members 130 are two, the clamp 120 is arranged at the middle of the aircraft 110, and the pulling members 130 are arranged at the two sides of the aircraft 110.

[0049] In the technical scheme, the layout mode of the pulling members and the clamp 120 is further provided, the clamp 120 is arranged between the two pulling members, the insulating sleeve 140 is clamped by the clamp 120, stress can be applied to the insulating sleeve 140 at the two sides of the insulating sleeve 140 by the two pulling members, based on which the opening of the insulating sleeve 140 can be opened, the insulating sleeve 140 can be conveniently sleeved on the overhead line and / or the insulator, and then the installation of the insulating sleeve 140 can be completed by only canceling the stress of the pulling members 130 and relaxing the clamp 120, and meanwhile the insulating sleeve 140 can be more closely attached to the overhead line and / or the insulator, so that the insulating sleeve 140 can adapt to bad weather.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In an implementable embodiment, the pulling member 130 comprises a first connecting rod 131, one end of the first connecting rod 131 is hinged to the aircraft 110, a telescopic rod 132, one end of the telescopic rod 132 is connected to the first connecting rod 131, the other end of the telescopic rod 132 is connected to the aircraft 110, the telescopic rod 132 is used to swing the first connecting rod 131, and a positioning member is arranged at the other end of the first connecting rod 131, the positioning member is used to be connected to the insulating sleeve 140, and the positioning member is separated from the insulating sleeve 140 when the telescopic rod 132 swings the first connecting rod 131 beyond the limited position.

[0051] In the technical scheme, the style of the pulling member is further provided, the pulling member can comprise the first connecting rod 131, the telescopic rod 132 and the positioning member, the first connecting rod 131 can be swung by the extension or contraction of the telescopic rod 132, the positioning member is connected to the insulating sleeve 140, the telescopic rod 132 is controlled to swing the first connecting rod 131 away from the insulating sleeve 140, stress can be applied to the insulating sleeve 140 at the two sides of the insulating sleeve 140 by the two pulling members, the opening can be opened, and the insulating sleeve 140 can be clamped on the overhead line and / or the insulator by only canceling the stress of the pulling member 130 after the insulating sleeve 140 is assembled in place, so that the insulating sleeve 140 is stably fixed on the overhead line and / or the insulator.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the positioning element is a positioning rod 133 with a bend at the end.

[0053] In this technical solution, a positioning element is further provided. The positioning element can be a positioning rod 133 with a bent end. When the positioning element is connected to the insulating sleeve 140, the positioning rod 133 can be inserted into the notch. The first connecting rod 131 can be swung by the telescopic rod 132, which can open the notch. As the telescopic rod 132 extends further, the positioning rod 133 will slide out through the notch, and the notch will lose stress and close, so that the insulating sleeve 140 is engaged with the overhead line and / or insulator.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in one possible implementation, the positioning element is a cable 134, the other end of which passes through an insulating sleeve 140, and the cable 134 is pulled off if the first link 131 swings beyond the limited position.

[0055] In this technical solution, another style of positioning component is provided. The positioning component can be a cable 134. By controlling the extension of the telescopic rod 132, the first connecting rod 131 can be driven to swing. The first connecting rod 131 applies stress to the insulating sleeve 140 through the cable 134, causing the notch of the insulating sleeve 140 to open. As the telescopic rod 132 extends, if the swing amplitude of the first connecting rod 131 is too large, the cable 134 will be torn off, thus relieving the stress applied to the insulating sleeve 140, and the notch can be closed, so that the insulating sleeve 140 can be snapped onto the overhead line or insulator.

[0056] In some examples, a through hole may be provided on the insulating sleeve 140 for the cable 134 to pass through, thus facilitating the passage of the cable 134.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the aircraft 110 includes a drone.

[0058] In this technology, the aircraft 110 may include a drone. The drone is designed to facilitate the movement of the insulating sleeve 140. During the descent of the drone, stress can be applied to the insulating sleeve 140 so that the insulating sleeve 140 is snapped onto the insulator or overhead line.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for preventing bird damage to overhead power lines is proposed, which is applied to an overhead power line bird protection device as described in any of the above technical solutions. The method for preventing bird damage to overhead power lines includes:

[0060] Step 201: control the aerial vehicle to fly to the top of the overhead line in the bird hazard prone area with the insulating sleeve. It can be understood that the bird hazard prone area can be found through experience after the power equipment is put into use, or it can be determined by observing the bird dynamic through the cycle of the aerial vehicle to the power equipment.

[0061] Step 202: control the aerial vehicle to descend to press the insulating sleeve on the overhead line and / or insulator. It can be understood that by controlling the aerial vehicle to descend, the aerial vehicle can apply a downward force to the insulating sleeve, which facilitates the insulating sleeve to be sleeved on the overhead line and / or insulator.

[0062] Step 203: release the pulling member to wrap the insulating sleeve on the overhead line and / or insulator. After the insulating sleeve is assembled in place, the stress applied to the insulating sleeve by the pulling member can be removed, the gap on the insulating sleeve is closed, and the insulating sleeve can be more closely attached to the overhead line and / or insulator.

[0063] By the overhead line bird prevention method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the insulating sleeve can be connected to the clamp, and then the pulling member is connected to the insulating sleeve. By applying stress to the insulating sleeve through the pulling member, the gap on the insulating sleeve is opened. Then the aerial vehicle is controlled to fly to the top of the overhead line and the insulator. Then the aerial vehicle is controlled to press down to make the insulating sleeve sleeved on the insulator and / or the overhead line. Finally, the pulling member is released to remove the stress applied to the insulating sleeve, so that the insulating sleeve wraps the insulator and / or the overhead line, which can play a role in preventing bird hazards. The overhead line bird prevention device provided by the embodiment of the present application installs the insulating sleeve through the aerial vehicle. Only the insulating sleeve contacts the power equipment during installation. Therefore, the insulating sleeve can be assembled under the live condition, and the installation of the insulating sleeve does not need to be climbed. Therefore, the installation cost of the insulating sleeve can be reduced, and the installation of the insulating sleeve is facilitated. Through the setting of the insulating sleeve and the pulling member, stress can be applied to the insulating sleeve through the pulling member before the insulating sleeve is assembled, so that the gap on the insulating sleeve is opened. After the insulating sleeve is assembled in place, the stress applied to the insulating sleeve can be removed, so that the insulating sleeve is sleeved on the insulator and / or the overhead line. The insulating sleeve can be more closely attached to the insulator and the overhead line. Even in bad weather such as strong wind, the insulating sleeve can fully contact the insulator and the overhead line, which can improve the service life and insulation effect of the insulating sleeve.

[0064] In a feasible implementation, the overhead line bird prevention method further includes: controlling the aerial vehicle to fly above the overhead line and collecting image information; determining the bird hazard prone area based on the image information.

[0065] In the technical solution, the determination method of the bird damage prone area is further provided, a camera can be arranged below the aircraft, then the aircraft is controlled to fly in the area of the power equipment, and image information is collected, and then the image information is analyzed, so that the dynamic of the bird group and the distribution of the bird nest are determined, and based on this, the bird damage prone area can be determined.

[0066] In a feasible implementation, the insulating sleeve specification information is acquired based on the shape and size of the overhead line and the shape and size of the insulator in the bird damage prone area, and the insulating sleeve is prepared based on the insulating sleeve specification information.

[0067] In the technical solution, after the bird damage prone area is determined, the image information of the overhead line and the insulator in the bird damage prone area can be further collected by the aircraft, and the image information of the overhead line and the insulator is further analyzed, so that the shape and size of the overhead line and the shape and size of the insulator are determined, and the insulating sleeve specification information is further determined, and the insulating sleeve is prepared based on the insulating sleeve specification information, so that the insulating sleeve is more suitable for the shape of the overhead line and the insulator, and the insulating sleeve is more fitted to the overhead line and the insulator.
