Description

Technical Field

[0002] High-voltage power transmission is a common method of power transmission. Among them, the use of high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage overhead power transmission lines is the main form of long-distance power transmission and distribution. High-voltage cables and their accessories are exposed to the external environment for a long time, and are exposed to the wind and sun for many years. The materials are very easy to age and the cables are easy to break. At present, most of them still use manual inspection methods, which are labor-intensive, and it is difficult to ensure the safety of inspections in high-altitude, high-voltage, and high-risk working environments, which can easily cause workers to be electrocuted and fall from heights.

Compared with drone inspection, the advantage of this robot is that it can carry certain equipment, such as visual inspection and X-ray machine, and has better stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0019] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, a cable inspection robot proposed in one embodiment of the present application includes: An articulated frame 1, wherein the number of the articulated frames 1 is multiple and they are movably connected via a connector 2, two mounting frames 3 are symmetrically and slidably mounted on the articulated frame 1, a mechanical arm assembly 4 is mounted on the mounting frame 3, and a manipulator 5 is mounted on the mechanical arm assembly 4, which is used to drive the articulated frame 1 to move on the cable; The trigger mechanism 6 is installed on the articulated frame 1 and acts on the mounting frame 3. When the trigger mechanism 6 is triggered by the outside, the trigger mechanism 6 drives the mounting frame 3 to move in a direction away from the cable. The reset mechanism 7 is installed on the articulated frame 1, and the mechanical arm assembly 4 is located between the reset mechanism 7 and the trigger mechanism 6. When the obstruction passes through the trigger mechanism 6 and contacts the reset mechanism 7, the reset mechanism 7 drives the mechanical arm assembly 4 to move and reset, that is, the mounting frame 3 moves and resets to form a contact between the mechanical hand 5 and the cable again. That is, when in use, multiple articulated frames 1 can be connected through the connector 2. The number of articulated frames 1 can be more than three, and it has good stability. Then, the mechanical arm assembly 4 is used to make the mechanical hand 5 contact with the cable, so that the mechanical hand 5 is driven by remote control to move the articulated frame 1 on the cable. When multiple articulated frames are moving on the cable, when encountering a shock-absorbing hammer, the articulated frame 1 continues to move to make the trigger mechanism 6 When the shock-absorbing hammer contacts the two mounting frames 3, the triggering mechanism 6 drives the two mounting frames 3 to move away from each other, thereby causing the mechanical arm assemblies 4 to move away from each other. At this time, the mechanical arms 5 on other articulated frames 1 are still in contact with the cable, so the entire device will not fall off the cable. As the other articulated frames 1 continue to move, the shock-absorbing hammer will gradually pass between the moved mechanical arms 5. After the shock-absorbing hammer passes through the mechanical arms 5, it will then contact the reset mechanism 7, and then the reset mechanism 7 will move and reset the mechanical arm assembly 4, thereby causing the mechanical arm 5 to contact the cable again, thereby automatically avoiding contact between the shock-absorbing hammer and the mechanical arm 5 during the continuous movement of multiple articulated frames 1, thereby improving the efficiency of cable inspection, reducing the tediousness of operation for staff, and making it more convenient to use.

[0020] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the trigger mechanism 6 includes a toggle plate 601 symmetrically and horizontally rotatably mounted on the articulated frame 1, a torsion spring 602 is installed between the articulated frame 1 and the toggle plate 601, specifically, a convex rod is vertically structured on the articulated frame 1, the toggle plate 601 is rotatably sleeved on the convex rod, the torsion spring 602 is sleeved on the convex rod, one end of the torsion spring 602 is connected to the convex rod, and the other end is connected to the toggle plate 601, the free ends of the two toggle plates 601 are fitted to each other and are in an outer arc shape, the toggle plate 601 is located below the cable, and a linkage assembly 603 acting on the toggle plate 601 and the mounting frame 3 is installed on the articulated frame 1, when the toggle plate 601 is rotated When the articulated frame 1 moves, the linkage assembly 603 is used to drive the two mounting frames 3 away from each other. That is to say, when the articulated frame 1 moves, the two toggle plates 601 will first contact the shock-absorbing hammer. As the articulated frame 1 continues to move, the toggle plates 601 will rotate due to contact with the shock-absorbing hammer. When the toggle plates 601 rotate, the linkage assembly 603 will drive the mounting frame plate 501 to move, so that the two mounting frame plates 501 are moved away from each other. As the articulated frame 1 moves, the manipulator 5 on the articulated frame 1 will avoid contact with the shock-absorbing hammer, thereby effectively preventing the shock-absorbing hammer from contacting the manipulator 5, and will not affect the movement of the articulated frame 1.

[0021] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the linkage assembly 603 includes two mounting tubes 6031 symmetrically slidably mounted on the articulated frame 1, and the two mounting tubes 6031 are both penetrated by a plug rod 6032 for sliding insertion, and the opposite ends of the plug rod 6032 are provided with inclined surfaces, and two strip frame plates 6034 are symmetrically slidably mounted on the articulated frame 1, which are respectively used to contact the inclined surfaces of the plug rod 6032, and a rod body 6038 is hinged between the strip frame plate 6034 and the toggle plate 601, and the plug rod 6032 is located in the mounting tube. A convex plate 6033 is constructed on one side of the interior of 6031, a connecting spring 6037 is installed between the convex plate 6033 and the mounting tube 6031, a driving plate 6035 located outside is constructed on one side of the convex plate 6033, a convex block 6036 for contacting the driving plate 6035 is installed on the mounting frame 3, and a fastening member 8 is installed on the articulated frame 1. In normal state, the fastening member 8 provides a resisting force toward the cable direction to the two mounting frames 3, that is, when the manipulator 5 contacts the cable, the fastening member 8 effectively To prevent the manipulator 5 from accidentally detaching from the cable when the connecting frame 801 moves, when the toggle plate 601 rotates due to contact with the shock-absorbing hammer, the rotation of the toggle plate 601 will drive the bar frame plate 6034 to move through the rod body 6038, and the bar frame plate 6034 will contact the inclined surface of the plug rod 6032, so that the plug rod 6032 moves, and the plug rod 6032 will drive the drive plate 6035 to move when moving, and the movement of the drive plate 6035 will push the bump 6036 to move, so that The installation frame 3 is moved, and as the toggle plate 601 rotates, the strip frame plate 6034 will continue to move. However, at this time, the end of the connecting rod 6032 with the inclined surface will move to one side in the length direction of the strip frame plate 6034, so that even if the toggle plate 601 continues to rotate, the connecting rod 6032 will not continue to move. Therefore, when the toggle plate 601 is driven to rotate by shock-absorbing hammers of different sizes, the moving distance of the connecting rod 6032 is fixed, preventing the installation frame plate 501 from moving too far and affecting the subsequent resetting.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the reset mechanism 7 includes a moving frame 701 horizontally slidably mounted on the articulated frame 1, a spring telescopic rod 702 is installed between the moving frame 701 and the articulated frame 1, a wedge rod 703 is vertically slidably mounted on the moving frame 701, which is used to contact with obstacles, a return spring 704 is installed between the wedge rod 703 and the moving frame 701, the elastic force of the return spring 704 is greater than the elastic force provided by the spring telescopic rod 702, the mounting frame 3 is located between the wedge rod 703 and the toggle plate 601, and a transmission member 705 acting on the mounting frame 3 is installed on the articulated frame 1. When the moving frame 701 moves in a direction away from the corresponding mounting frame 3, the transmission member 705 drives the mounting frame 3 to move and reset. When the shock-absorbing hammer passes through the toggle plate 601 and the corresponding manipulator 5, the shock-absorbing The hammer will come into contact with the wedge rod 703, and as the articulated frame 1 continues to move, because the elastic force of the return spring 704 is greater than the elastic force of the spring telescopic rod 702, the internal spring of the spring telescopic rod 702 will be stretched, so the movable frame 701 will move at this time, while the wedge rod 703 has not moved at this time. At this time, the movable frame 701 will move away from the corresponding mounting frame 3 due to the movement of the shock-absorbing hammer, so that the transmission member 705 can drive the mounting frame 3 to move and reset, thereby causing the manipulator 5 to move and reset. After the movable frame 701 moves to the maximum limit, the continued movement of the articulated frame 1 will force the wedge rod 703 to move downward until the shock-absorbing hammer passes through the wedge rod 703, thereby automatically resetting the manipulator 5. No additional operation is required and the continued movement of the articulated frame 1 is not affected.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission member 705 includes a push plate 7051 symmetrically and slidably installed on the articulated frame 1, and the push plate 7051 is opposite to the corresponding mounting frame 3. When the two manipulators 5 are in a state of releasing the cables, the mounting frame 3 is in contact with one side of the push plate 7051, and a linkage rod 7052 is hinged between the push plate 7051 and the movable frame 701. That is to say, when the movable frame 701 moves, the plate 7051 is pushed to move through the linkage rod 7052, so that the two push plates 7051 on the articulated frame 1 are close to each other, thereby simultaneously pushing the two moved mounting frames 3, so that the two manipulators 5 are reset at the same time, and then the reset is completed, thereby simultaneously driving the two manipulators 5 to move and reset.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the fastening member 8 includes a connecting frame 801 symmetrically mounted on the articulated frame 1, two articulated cylinders 802 are symmetrically connected on the connecting frame 801, a driving rod 803 is slidably inserted at the free end of the articulated cylinder 802, a rebound spring 804 is installed between the driving rod 803 and the articulated cylinder 802, the mounting frame 3 is located between the two driving rods 803, the free end of the driving rod 803 is hinged on the mounting frame 3, a first baffle 805 is constructed on the connecting frame 801, the first baffle 805 is used to limit the moving stroke of the mounting frame 3, and under normal conditions, the rebound spring 804 is in a compressed state, and at this time the articulated cylinder 802 and the mounting frame 3 are in a state of contact with each other. The mounting frame plates 501 are nearly parallel, so the plug-in rod 6032 only needs to move a certain distance slightly to cause the articulated tube 802 to rotate slightly, and the return spring inside the articulated tube 802 will continue to be compressed to a certain extent, and then the return spring will suddenly release the elastic force, and then the mounting frame plates 501 will move away from each other a small distance and then suddenly move quickly, so that the mounting frame plates 501 can move a small distance and then suddenly move a large distance, so that when the toggle plate 601 rotates a small distance, the mounting frame plates 501 will move a large distance, thereby ensuring that the articulated frame 1 can effectively prevent the shock-absorbing hammer from contacting the manipulator 5 when it continues to move.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the manipulator 5 includes a mounting frame plate 501 mounted on the mounting end of the manipulator arm assembly 4, and an arc plate 502 for contacting the cable is mounted on the mounting frame plate 501. A plurality of rotating rollers 503 are vertically and rotatably mounted on the mounting frame plate 501, and the outer peripheral side of the rotating roller 503 passes through the arc plate 502 and is located on the inner peripheral side of the arc plate 502, and is used to contact the cable. Synchronous wheels 504 are mounted on the plurality of rotating rollers 503, and the plurality of synchronous wheels 504 are connected by a transmission belt 505. Only one of the rotating rollers 503 needs to be remotely controlled to rotate. When one of the rotating rollers 503 rotates, the plurality of synchronous wheels 504 will be driven to rotate simultaneously through the plurality of transmission belts 505, thereby driving the plurality of rotating rollers 503 to rotate. Because the rotating roller 503 is in contact with the cable, the rotation of the rotating roller 503 will drive the movement of the articulated frame 1. Specifically, a motor is mounted on the mounting frame plate 501, and the motor is connected to one of the rotating rollers 503. The staff remotely controls the motor to start.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a balancing block 9 is installed at the middle position of the bottom of the articulated frame 1. The setting of the balancing block 9 can effectively prevent the articulated frame 1 from shaking in windy weather, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the robot arm assembly 4 includes a rotating seat 401 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 3, a mechanical lower arm 402 rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 401, a mechanical upper arm 403 rotatably mounted on the mechanical lower arm 402, the mechanical upper arm 403 is connected to the mounting frame plate 501, the mechanical upper arm 403 is mounted with a mounting plate 404, a support roller 405 located above the cable is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 404, the free end of the support roller 405 is an outer arc surface, and the design of the support roller 405 increases the contact area with the cable, further improving the stability. Moreover, when the robot arm assemblies 4 are reset close to each other, the outer arc surface of the support roller 405 can effectively move to the bottom of the cable again to provide support.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the connector 2 includes a connection shell 201 with a hollow interior, a knob 202 is rotatably mounted on the connection shell 201 through a torsion spring, two hinged rods 203 are hinged on the knob 202, and the free ends of the two hinged rods 203 are hinged with a sliding plate 204, the sliding plate 204 is horizontally slidably mounted on the connection shell 201, two transmission rods 205 are symmetrically hinged on the sliding plate 204, the free ends of the transmission rods 205 are hinged with a positioning rod 206, and the positioning rod 206 is vertically slidably mounted in the connection shell 201, and the articulated frame 1 is provided with two upper and lower divided The positioning holes 207 of the cloth are used for inserting the positioning rods 206. A plurality of connectors 2 cooperate with a plurality of articulated frames 1 to form a snake-like mimicking robot. When one of the connecting frames 801 is damaged, the knob 202 can be turned. When the knob 202 is turned, the two sliding plates 204 are driven to approach each other through the articulated rod 203. As the sliding plates 204 move, the transmission rod 205 drives the two positioning rods 206 in the same direction to approach each other, so that the positioning rods 206 are quickly disengaged from the positioning holes 207, thereby realizing a quick replacement of one of the connecting frames 801.
