[0044] As Figures 1 to 11Further, the slider assembly 34 includes a first lifting slider 341 and a second lifting slider 342 arranged on the lead screw assembly 32 in sequence from bottom to top. The swing arm part 43 includes two rocker seats 431 arranged on the top of the rotating seat 41 on both sides respectively, and the swing arm rocker 432 is hinged on the rocker seat 431, and the free ends of the two swing arm rockers 432 are connected through the rotating shaft 433. The rotating shaft 433 is rotationally connected with the second lifting slider 342, and one side of the rocker seat 431 is rotationally connected with the first lifting slider 341. The lifting frame 31 is provided with the track guide plate 35 on both sides respectively, and the track guide plate 35 is provided with the wheel set track guide groove 36. The hinged part of the swing arm rocker 432 and the rocker seat 431 is slidingly connected with the wheel set track guide groove 36 through the guide rod 434. When the lead screw assembly 32 drives the first lifting slider 341 and the second lifting slider 342 to slide upward, the second lifting slider 342 pulls one end of the swing arm rocker 432 through the rotating shaft 433, so that the other end of the swing arm rocker 432 can pull the rocker seat 431. The rocker seat 431 drives the rotating seat 41 to do a flip action with the first lifting slider 341 as the rotating shaft 433 point under the pulling action of the swing arm rocker 432, so that the rotating seat 41 flips towards the opening direction of the wire inlet channel 11 until the rotating seat 41 flips to the horizontal state, that is, the swing arm rocker 432 reaches the dead zone swing angle, and the swing arm rocker 432, the first lifting slider 341 and the second lifting slider 342 keep a relatively stable state.

[0048] As​ As shown, the application also correspondingly provides a deicing method for working control of the asymmetric fold-breaking deicing robot for the aircraft-mounted cable, comprising:

[0049] 101, the hook part 5 is connected with the aircraft 9 in advance, and the cable deicing robot is moved to the cable 7 to be worked on by the aircraft 9;

[0050] 102, when the aircraft 9 approaches the cable 7 to be worked on, the inlet channel 11 is controlled to approach the cable 7 to be worked on from top to bottom until the deicing wheel assembly 2 is mounted above the cable 7 to be worked on;

[0051] In this embodiment, the aircraft 9 is connected with the hook part 5 by the hanger, and gradually approaches the cable 7 to be worked on according to the position of the cable to be worked on in a preset travel route; when the cable deicing robot reaches the predetermined position, the inlet channel 11 gradually approaches the top of the cable 7 to be worked on, and the inlet channel 11 approaches the cable 7 to be worked on from top to bottom until the deicing wheel assembly 2 is mounted above the cable 7 to be worked on, so as to complete the mounting task of the cable deicing robot. In this way, the difficulty of mounting the cable deicing robot can be reduced.

[0052] 103, the turning angle of the walking wheel assembly 4 is adjusted by the lifting assembly 3 until the walking wheel assembly 4 is turned to the lower side of the cable 7 to be worked on;

[0053] 104, the walking wheel assembly 4 is driven by the lifting assembly 3 to press against the lower side of the cable 7 to be worked on until the cable 7 to be worked on forms a certain bending degree between the walking wheel assembly 4 and the two deicing wheel assemblies 2, so as to extrude and break the ice on the periphery of the cable 7 to be worked on;

[0054] 105, the two deicing wheel assemblies are driven to rotate by the two driving assemblies respectively, so that the cable deicing robot travels along the length direction of the cable 7 to be worked on.

[0055] In the embodiment, when the deicing wheel assembly 2 is hung on the cable 7 to be operated, the lifting assembly 3 drives the walking wheel assembly 4 to turn in the direction of the entry channel 11 until the walking wheel assembly 4 is turned to the dead angle, so that the lower opening of the entry channel 11 is closed. Then, the lifting assembly 3 drives the walking wheel assembly 4 to press against the bottom of the cable 7 to be operated, so that the cable 7 to be operated is bent upward. The cable 7 to be operated is extruded and deformed under the action of the walking wheel assembly 4 and the two deicing wheel assemblies 2, so that the accumulated ice wrapped around the cable 7 to be operated is broken, and the accumulated ice is peeled off the cable 7 to be operated. In this way, the deicing effect is achieved. Then, the driving assembly drives the deicing wheel assembly 2 to move along the length direction of the cable 7 to be operated. The deicing wheel assembly 2 breaks the ice on the surface of the cable 7 to be operated during the movement, so that the accumulated ice on the surface of the cable 7 to be operated is completely removed. In this way, the accumulated ice and residual ice on the cable 7 to be operated can be effectively removed, the ice removal rate is improved, and the repeated ice accumulation on the cable is reduced.

[0056] In summary, the walking wheel assembly 4 can be turned to vertically hang the cable deicing robot on the cable. When the cable 7 to be operated vertically enters the entry channel 11 and the deicing wheel assembly 2 is hung, the lower opening of the entry channel 11 is closed by the turning action of the walking wheel assembly 4. Then, the lifting assembly 3 drives the walking wheel assembly 4 to press against the bottom of the cable 7 to be operated, so that the cable 7 to be operated is bent upward. The cable 7 to be operated is extruded and deformed under the action of the walking wheel assembly 4 and the two deicing wheel assemblies 2, so that the accumulated ice layer 8 wrapped around the cable 7 to be operated is broken, and the accumulated ice on the cable 7 to be operated is removed. In this way, the deicing effect is achieved. Then, the deicing wheel assembly 2 breaks and extrudes the ice on the surface of the cable 7 to be operated during the movement. For the ice with a larger volume, the ice on the surface of the cable 7 to be operated is cut by the two sides of the deicing wheel assembly 2, so that the accumulated ice on the surface of the cable 7 to be operated is completely removed. In this way, the accumulated ice and residual ice on the cable 7 to be operated can be effectively removed, the ice removal rate is improved, and the repeated ice accumulation on the cable is reduced.
