Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of insulator live detection, in particular to an insulator live detection and cleaning robot. Background Art

[0002] Insulator live detection is a technology used in power systems to detect whether insulators are live. Insulators are devices used in power lines to support conductors and prevent them from coming into contact with other structural parts. They are essential to the safety and reliability of power systems because they ensure the insulation between power conductors and the ground or other conductors.

[0003] Live inspection of insulators often requires high-altitude work. To ensure the safety of workers, robots are often used instead of manual labor. However, existing robots may encounter harsh environments such as strong winds during inspection, which may cause the robots to fall. At the same time, the existing robots' unstable movement during inspection may also easily cause them to fall. In addition, insulators are placed outdoors for a long time, and a lot of debris may remain on the surface, which may easily affect the inspection results. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings existing in the background technology and to propose an insulator live detection and cleaning robot.

[0008] Preferably, the notched gears are respectively meshed and connected with a plurality of sets of bevel gears.

[0009] Preferably, multiple groups of small motors are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the interior of the rotating cabin, and the output ends of the multiple groups of small motors are fixedly installed with fixed plates. A limiting cabin is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed plate. A limiting plate is rotatably installed inside the limiting cabin, and a spring is fixedly installed on the end of the limiting plate. The bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the limiting cabin.

[0010] Preferably, the first rotating rod is connected to the second rotating rod via a belt.

[0011] Preferably, two groups of hollow shafts are rotatably mounted in the middle of the second rotating rod, a cleaning rod is fixedly mounted in the middle of the hollow shaft, and a cleaning ball is fixedly mounted at the end of the cleaning rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The fixed frame on the turntable is rotated 180° through meshing transmission, so that only the position of the fixed frame is changed each time meshing, thereby driving the overall movement, so that the fixed frame moves between the insulator grooves with a turntable diameter. The detection needle detects the insulator during each movement. At the same time, the movement of the misaligned angle ensures stability during high-altitude operations, and detection work can be carried out even in harsh environments such as strong winds. During the movement, the hollow shaft on the second rotating rod makes a circular motion, so that the cleaning ball swings up and down to clean the surface of the insulator, ensuring that the surface of the insulator is free of debris during detection, which affects the detection results of the robot and ensures the quality of work.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 7 An insulator live detection and cleaning robot shown includes a shell assembly 100, a rotating cabin 101, and a rotating cabin 101 fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating cabin 101, a partition 104 fixedly installed between the rotating cabins 101 and the rotating cabins 101, a fixing seat 105 fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the interior of the rotating cabin 101, and detection needles 103 fixedly installed on both sides of the middle of the rotating cabin 101, and the detection needles 103 detect the insulator during each movement.

[0026] The moving assembly 200 includes a rotating shaft 201 rotatably mounted on both sides of the middle of the two groups of fixed seats 105, a rotating disk 202 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the multiple groups of rotating shafts 201, and a fixing frame 207 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the rotating disk 202. A first gear 203 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the rotating disk 202, and a bevel gear 204 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the first gear 203. A first rotating rod 205 is rotatably mounted on one adjacent side of the two groups of fixed seats 105, and a notched gear 206 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the first rotating rod 205. The notched gears 206 are respectively meshed with the multiple groups of bevel gears 204. The two notched gears 206 on the first rotating rod 205 are firstly meshed with the bevel gears 204 on the left rear side and the right front side, and the fixing frame 207 on the rotating disk 202 is rotated 180° through meshing transmission, and then the notched gear 206 is respectively meshed with the bevel gears 204 on the right rear side and the left front side. The first gear 203 is meshed with the bevel gear 204, and the bevel gear 204 drives the first gear 203 to rotate. The limit plate 211 in the limit cabin 210 is blocked by the solid part of the limit cabin 210 and cannot rotate, thereby fixing the first gear 203 to prevent it from rotating. The first rotating rod 205 is connected to the second rotating rod 302 by a belt 303.

[0027] The cleaning assembly 300 includes a servo motor 301 fixedly installed on the front side of the driving cabin 102, a second rotating rod 302 is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor 301, two groups of hollow shafts 304 are rotatably installed in the middle of the second rotating rod 302, a cleaning rod 305 is fixedly installed in the middle of the hollow shaft 304, a cleaning ball 306 is fixedly installed at the end of the cleaning rod 305, two groups of slide grooves 307 are respectively provided on both sides of the driving cabin 102, the hollow shaft 304 on the second rotating rod 302 makes a circular motion, so that the cleaning rod 305 drives the cleaning ball 306 to shake, and at the same time the cleaning rod 305 rotates in the slide groove 307, so that the cleaning ball 306 swings up and down to clean the surface of the insulator, thereby ensuring that the surface of the insulator is free of debris during detection, which affects the detection result of the robot and ensures the work quality, the two groups of slide grooves 307 are rotatably connected with the cleaning rod 305, and the second rotating rod 302 is two sections of U-shaped rods fixed to each other.

[0028] The robot is placed between two strings of insulators, and the fixing frame 207 is engaged with the groove of the insulator. At this time, the servo motor 301 is started, and its output end drives the second rotating rod 302 to rotate. The second rotating rod 302 is driven by the belt 303 to rotate the first rotating rod 205. The two notched gears 206 on the first rotating rod 205 are firstly meshed with the bevel gears 204 on the left rear side and the right front side respectively. Through the meshing transmission, the fixing frame 207 on the turntable 202 is rotated 180°, and then the notched gears 206 are respectively meshed with the bevel gears 204 on the right rear side and the left front side. The bevel gears 204 on the front side are meshed, and the fixed frame 207 on the turntable 202 is rotated 180° through meshing transmission, so that only the position of the fixed frame 207 is changed each time the meshing is achieved, thereby driving the overall movement, so that the fixed frame 207 moves between the insulator grooves with a diameter of the turntable 202. The detection needle 103 detects the insulator during each movement. At the same time, the movement method of the misalignment angle ensures stability during high-altitude operations, and detection work can be carried out even in harsh environments such as strong winds.

[0029] At the same time, when the notched gear 206 is not meshed with the bevel gear 204, the bevel gear 204 will drive the first gear 203 to rotate, and the limit plate 211 in the limit cabin 210 is blocked by the solid part of the limit cabin 210 and cannot rotate, thereby fixing the first gear 203 to prevent it from rotating. After the detection is completed, the small motor 208 is started so that its output end drives the fixed disk 209 to rotate 180°, and the reverse limit of the limit plate 211 allows the robot to return to the original path.

[0030] During the movement, the hollow shaft 304 on the second rotating rod 302 makes a circular motion, so that the cleaning rod 305 drives the cleaning ball 306 to shake, and at the same time the cleaning rod 305 rotates in the slide groove 307, so that the cleaning ball 306 swings up and down to clean the surface of the insulator, thereby ensuring that there is no debris on the surface of the insulator during inspection, which will affect the inspection results of the robot and ensure the work quality.
