Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of power line inspection equipment and devices, and particularly relates to a device for trimming and cutting bamboo that affects power transmission lines during power line inspection. Background Technology

[0002] When bamboo grows too tall or is exposed to wind, power transmission lines are prone to flashover tripping or serious accidents such as fires caused by discharges due to the influence of bamboo below or near the transmission line corridor. Therefore, during the operation and maintenance of power transmission lines, bamboo below or near the transmission line corridor must be pruned in a timely manner to ensure that the transmission lines maintain a sufficient safe distance from them.

[0003] Currently, tree branch cutting devices based on drones mainly use lasers or small chainsaws to cut branches. For example, patent document CN114600658A discloses a tree branch cutting device based on a drone, whose cutter includes: a telescopic platform, an annular rail, and a laser emitter; the telescopic platform is set on the platform and can extend and retract forward and backward; the annular rail is set at the front end of the telescopic platform; the laser emitter is set on the platform, with its output end facing the front end. Further, a horizontally rotatable gimbal is set on the platform; the telescopic platform is set on the gimbal. Further, an annular groove is provided on the annular rail; the output end of the laser emitter is slidably set on the annular groove. Further, the laser emitter includes: a laser source, a first-stage amplifier, and a second-stage amplifier; the laser source is used to output a first laser beam; the first-stage amplifier is used to amplify the first laser beam into a second laser beam; the second-stage amplifier is used to amplify the second laser beam into a third laser beam. For example, patent document CN213819000U discloses a garden tree pruning device, which includes a drone body. The drone body has connecting columns fixedly connected to the outer walls of the four corners at the bottom, and bases fixedly connected to the outer walls of the bottom of the four connecting columns. The outer wall of the top of the base is provided with a hydraulic cylinder, and a U-shaped bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the hydraulic cylinder. The inner walls of both ends of the U-shaped bracket are provided with cutting motors, and cutting blades are fixedly connected to the output end of the cutting motors.

[0004] Using lasers to cut branches is highly efficient, but due to the hot and dry summer climate, bamboo is easily flammable, and the instability of drone flight may cause the laser to concentrate on a single point for an extended period, posing a fire risk. Using small chainsaws to cut bamboo is less flexible in complex environments such as bamboo forests; the bamboo's toughness may prevent it from being cut properly when using a chainsaw, and the impact of falling bamboo or branches on the safe flight of the drone is not considered. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems introduced in the background art, such as poor flexibility when facing complex environments such as bamboo forests, the possibility that the bamboo cannot be cut properly when cutting slender bamboo with a chainsaw due to the toughness of the bamboo, and the failure to consider the impact of the cut bamboo or branches falling on the safe flight of the drone.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0045] 1) Existing technology can achieve forward and backward movement of the cutting device by installing an electric push rod. However, the forward and backward movement alone cannot meet the needs in complex environments such as bamboo forests. To complete the cutting of bamboo in a specific area, the equipment needs to have greater flexibility. This invention uses an electric push rod and a rotating swing device, which can enable the bamboo fixed cutting device to move forward, backward, rotate and swing. The rotating part support device can reinforce the rotating part. These devices greatly improve the flexibility of the UAV when cutting bamboo and can meet the requirements of bamboo cutting in various environments.

[0046] 2) Existing technology can cut some branches with poor toughness and that are not easily displaced by installing an electric saw, but it cannot cut some slender bamboo with good toughness, which does not meet the requirements. The bamboo fixing and cutting device used in this invention is equipped with anti-sway branching to ensure that the device can work normally when the drone is unstable. The fixing semicircular ring of the device is equipped with a spring and a flexible material with a certain curvature to ensure that the fixing semicircular ring can fix bamboo of different sizes. After the installed pressure sensor comes into contact with the bamboo, it can ensure that the fixing semicircular ring can accurately fix the bamboo. After the bamboo is fixed, the saw blade is used for cutting, which can ensure that slender bamboo can also be cut normally.

[0047] 3) Existing technologies are all aimed at cutting tree branches, but they do not consider whether the cut branches will affect the normal flight of the drone. The bamboo fixing and cutting device used in this invention can fix the bamboo after cutting it, and through the fixing effect of the fixed semi-circular ring and the rotation effect of the rotating swing device, the direction of the cut bamboo can be reversed before it falls, thereby preventing the cut bamboo from damaging the drone.

[0110] In use, the drone 1 is equipped with a ranging device and a camera. After the ranging device measures the distance from the top of the bamboo to the power line and the distance between the drone and the bamboo, it automatically calculates the required cutting height of the bamboo and adjusts the drone's height above the ground and the distance between the drone and the bamboo. The drone maintains this height during the bamboo cutting process. The camera transmits the captured images to the operator on the ground. The operator can view the images captured by the drone through their operating device. The images can mark the bamboo, display the distance between the bamboo and the drone, and provide a preliminary assessment of the number of branches at the cutting point. If the operator determines from the images that there are too many branches at a particular point, they can use the pruning mode to trim the smaller branches (see...). Figure 14 The worm gear motor 25 drives the worm gear 26 to rotate, and the worm gear 26 drives four worm wheels 24 to rotate. The rotating worm wheels 24 cooperate with the gear grooves on the inner wall of the electric actuator housing 21 (see...). Figure 3This causes the electric push rod telescopic rod 23 to move forward. At this time, the first anti-sway branch 58 and the second anti-sway branch 59 of the bamboo fixing and cutting device 5 open to their maximum extent under the action of the first anti-sway branch rotation motor 514 and the second anti-sway branch rotation motor 516. The first bamboo fixing semicircular ring 54 and the second bamboo fixing semicircular ring 55 of the bamboo fixing and cutting device 5 (see...) Figure 11 Under the action of the bamboo fixing semicircular ring rotating motor 520, the opening is opened to the maximum.

The saw disc 57 rotates under the drive of the saw disc rotating motor 521. The saw disc fixing U-shaped plate 511 moves forward under the drive of the saw disc fixing U-shaped plate moving motor 519 and the second gear 513. The camera is used to locate the branches that may affect the operation of the bamboo fixing and cutting device. Then, the flexibility of the rotating swing device 4 is used to prune these branches. After the branches at the bamboo 8 cutting part are pruned, the rotating swing device 4 and the fixing cutting device 5 will move backward a distance under the drive of the electric push rod 2.

[0111] Use the cutting mode when cutting the main stalk of bamboo (see...) Figure 15 At this time, the opening of the first anti-sway branch 58 and the second anti-sway branch 59 of the bamboo fixing and cutting device 5 gradually decreases to the set position under the action of the first anti-sway branch rotation motor 514 and the second anti-sway branch rotation motor 516. The first bamboo fixing semicircular ring 54 and the second bamboo fixing semicircular ring 55 of the bamboo fixing and cutting device 5 (see...) Figure 11 Maintaining the maximum opening, the electric push rod 23 begins to move forward. When the pressure sensor 56 in the middle of the bamboo fixing device contacts the bamboo 8, the electric push rod 2 stops moving. The first bamboo fixing semicircular ring 54 and the second bamboo fixing semicircular ring 55 of the bamboo fixing and cutting device 5 (see...) Figure 11 The bamboo 8 begins to close under the action of the bamboo fixing semicircular ring rotating motor 520, and the opening gradually decreases to achieve the purpose of fixing the bamboo 8. After the bamboo 8 is fixed, the saw disc 57 starts to start under the drive of the saw disc rotating motor 521. The saw disc fixing U-shaped plate 511 moves forward under the drive of the saw disc fixing U-shaped plate moving motor 519 and the second gear 513, and finally cuts the bamboo 8 into two sections. After the bamboo 8 is cut, the rotating swing device 4 starts to rotate under the action of the first joint rotating motor 45, and turns the direction of the bamboo to prevent the bamboo 8 from hitting the drone 1. Then, under the drive of the bamboo fixing semicircular ring rotating motor 520, the first bamboo fixing semicircular ring 54 and the second bamboo fixing semicircular ring 55 begin to open, causing the bamboo to fall.
