Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of insulating coating for overhead power lines. Background Art

[0002] Overhead power lines in distribution networks generally use bare conductors, which are prone to accidents such as accidental power outages. Therefore, it is necessary to retrofit the insulation of this part of the bare wire power grid and replace the overhead bare wires with insulated wires. Due to the complex terrain in China, the construction difficulty in some areas is large or even there are no construction conditions, making it difficult to carry out the operation of replacing insulated wires. With the development of technology, insulating coating robots have begun to be used for insulating coating operations.

[0003] The feeding devices of existing insulating coating robots are often driven by hydraulic rods or oil pressure rods. However, with the change of pressure, the discharging speed will change, resulting in uneven coating and easy formation of potential safety hazards. Moreover, existing robots often lack balance when moving on wires. At this time, if the moving robot loses balance, it may cause uneven coating or even damage to the wires. At the same time, insulating coating robots choose to use mechanical transmission methods and are driven by motors plus lead screws. However, a large pressure is required to extrude the coating material, and the motor transmission needs to use a speed reducer through a reduction ratio to provide sufficient pressure to drive the feeding device, resulting in a large weight and volume of the entire device, posing a very large safety hazard for coating operations on some old lines.
