Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric power equipment, and in particular to a transmission line power tower climbing robot. Background Art

[0002] During the long-term operation of high-voltage transmission lines, due to external factors such as lightning strikes, icing, wind deflection, and problems with their own materials, manufacturing, and installation processes, defects such as oxidation corrosion of hardware and loose joints are prone to occur, thus threatening the safe operation of the transmission system. For a long time, there has been a lack of effective detection methods for defects in the internal materials and mechanical structures of transmission line clamps and other components, making it difficult to accurately assess their harmfulness to line operation.

[0003] At present, it is generally necessary to cut off power supply and manually climb the tower to bring the equipment up for fixed inspection. Not only is there a risk of high-altitude operations, but the inspection cost is also high. In addition, the traditional tower climbing method is to climb upwards manually, and the ascent efficiency is relatively slow. If the judgment is wrong, the climbing time will be extended. For this reason, we propose a transmission line power tower climbing robot to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
