Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment technology, and more specifically, to a climbing device. Background Technology
[0002] A power tower is an iron tower used to support various electrical devices. It is typically a trapezoidal or triangular tower-shaped structure, usually 25-40 meters high, and consists of multiple interconnected steel members. Power towers are often built near power plants and substations in suburban areas. They are important facilities for the power sector, providing support and protection for overhead power lines.
[0003] The design, manufacture, installation, maintenance, and inspection of power towers and the electrical equipment mounted on them are crucial for the operation and development of modern power systems. Because power towers are often exposed to the elements, they are susceptible to corrosion. Traditional methods of tower inspection rely on manual climbing, which is unreliable, inefficient, and carries the risk of workers falling. With advancements in science and technology, automated inspection climbing devices have been developed. These devices can replace manual labor, allowing workers to climb towers with inspection equipment. Typically, these devices connect to the tower magnetically. However, when parts of the tower structure are corroded, the magnetic connection becomes unreliable, posing a potential hazard. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a climbing device to solve the problem of insufficient reliability in the connection between climbing devices and iron towers in related technologies.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a climbing device for climbing an iron tower, the iron tower comprising a plurality of interconnected steel members. The climbing device includes: a main body portion, which is telescopically configured to adjust its length; a first connecting component disposed at a first end of the main body portion, the first connecting component being capable of connecting or separating from the steel members; and a second connecting component disposed at a second end of the main body portion, the second connecting component including a base, a magnetic attraction structure, and a clamping structure. The base is connected to the main body portion, the magnetic attraction structure is disposed on the base and is capable of magnetically connecting or separating from the steel members, and the clamping structure is movably disposed on the base. The second connecting component has a first working state and a second working state. When the second connecting component is in the first working state, the clamping structure is spaced apart from the steel members; when the second connecting component is in the second working state, the clamping structure clamps the steel members.
[0006] Furthermore, the second connecting assembly also includes a first driving unit, which includes a drive motor and a threaded rod. The threaded rod is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and rotates synchronously. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the clamping structure. When the threaded rod rotates, it drives the clamping structure to move, so that the clamping structure switches between a position spaced apart from the steel and a position clamping the steel.
[0007] Furthermore, the clamping structure includes a first telescopic motor, a first gripper, and a second gripper. The first gripper and the second gripper are connected to the two ends of the first telescopic motor and are arranged opposite to each other. The first telescopic motor can drive the first gripper and the second gripper to move towards or away from each other along a first direction, so that the first gripper and the second gripper can clamp or release the steel.
[0008] Furthermore, the first gripper includes a first connecting plate, a first limiting member, a second limiting member, and a second telescopic motor. The first connecting plate is connected to the first telescopic motor, the first limiting member is connected to the first connecting plate, and the second limiting member is connected to the first connecting plate via the second telescopic motor so that the second limiting member can move toward or away from the first limiting member in a second direction, thereby enabling the first gripper to grip the steel. The first direction and the second direction are set at an angle.
[0009] Furthermore, the steel material includes a first steel plate and a second steel plate arranged at an angle. The magnetic structure can be magnetically connected to the first steel plate. The first limiting member is a first limiting plate, and the second limiting member is a second limiting plate. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are arranged in parallel and can clamp the first steel plate. And / or, the second gripper includes a second connecting plate, a third limiting plate, a limiting block, and a third telescopic motor. The second connecting plate is connected to the first telescopic motor, and the third limiting plate is connected to the second connecting plate. The limiting block is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting of the second steel plate. The limiting block is connected to the second connecting plate through the third telescopic motor so that the limiting block can move in a second direction toward or away from the third limiting plate, thereby enabling the second gripper to clamp the second steel plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the climbing device also includes a second drive unit. The main body is a tubular structure. The second drive unit can drive the base to rotate, and the rotation axis of the base is parallel to the axial direction of the main body.
[0011] Furthermore, the climbing device also includes a third drive unit. The base includes a mounting seat and a first plate and a second plate arranged at an angle. The first plate is connected to the second drive unit, and the third drive unit is connected to the second plate and can drive the second plate to rotate relative to the mounting seat. The rotation axis of the mounting seat is perpendicular to the second plate. The magnetic suction structure and the clamping structure are both connected to the mounting seat.
[0012] Furthermore, the climbing device also includes a fourth drive unit. The main body includes a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a transmission structure. The second sleeve is sleeved on one end of the first sleeve and can slide relative to the first sleeve. The second connecting assembly is connected to the second sleeve. The fourth drive unit is disposed on the first sleeve. The transmission structure is connected between the second sleeve and the fourth drive unit. The fourth drive unit drives the second sleeve to move through the transmission structure to adjust the length of the main body.
[0013] Furthermore, the transmission structure includes a meshing gear and a rack, with the gear connected to the output shaft of the fourth drive unit and the rack mounted on the second sleeve.
[0014] Furthermore, the first sleeve is provided with a first stop block, and the second sleeve is provided with a second stop block that can cooperate with the first stop block to prevent the second sleeve from coming off the first sleeve.
[0015] Applying the technical solution of this invention, the first connecting component and the second connecting component are respectively located at both ends of the main body. Both the first and second connecting components can be connected to or separated from the tower. The main body is telescopically adjustable to adjust its length, thereby enabling the climbing device to move upward or downward. Specifically, taking the upward movement of the climbing device as an example, the first connecting component is located above the second connecting component. First, the first connecting component is connected to the tower while the second connecting component is separated from the tower. Then, the main body is retracted to allow the second connecting component to move upward. Next, the first connecting component is separated from the tower while the second connecting component is connected to the tower. Then, the main body is extended to allow the first connecting component to move upward, thereby achieving the effect of the climbing device moving upward as a whole. The second connecting component includes a base, a magnetic structure, and a clamping structure. The base is connected to the main body, and the magnetic structure is provided. The second connecting component is magnetically connected to or separated from the steel structure on the base. The magnetic structure allows for rapid connection or separation between the second connecting component and the steel. A clamping structure is movably mounted on the base. The second connecting component has a first working state and a second working state. When the second connecting component is in the first working state, the clamping structure is spaced apart from the steel. In this state, the clamping structure does not clamp the steel, allowing the second connecting component to connect to the steel solely through the magnetic structure. This enables the second connecting component to quickly switch between connected and separated states. When the second connecting component is in the second working state, the clamping structure moves closer to the steel and clamps it, thus achieving a stable connection between the second connecting component and the steel. Compared to related technologies that rely solely on magnetic connection, this application achieves a more stable connection, reducing the possibility of the climbing device detaching. Therefore, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem of insufficient reliability in the connection between the climbing device and the tower in related technologies.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this application provides a climbing device for climbing an iron tower 1. The iron tower 1 includes a plurality of interconnected steel members 2. An embodiment of the climbing device of this application includes: a main body 10, a first connecting component 20, and a second connecting component 30. The main body 10 is telescopically configured to adjust its length. The first connecting component 20 is disposed at a first end of the main body 10 and can be connected to or separated from the steel members 2. The second connecting component 30 is disposed at a second end of the main body 10 and includes a base 31, a magnetic structure 32, and a clamping structure 33. The base 31 is connected to the main body 10. The magnetic structure 32 is disposed on the base 31 and can be magnetically connected to or separated from the steel members 2. The clamping structure 33 is movably disposed on the base 31. The second connecting component 30 has a first working state and a second working state. When the second connecting component 30 is in the first working state, the clamping structure 33 is spaced apart from the steel members 2. When the second connecting component 30 is in the second working state, the clamping structure 33 clamps the steel members 2.
[0035] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the first connecting component 20 and the second connecting component 30 are respectively located at both ends of the main body 10. Both the first connecting component 20 and the second connecting component 30 can be connected to or separated from the iron tower 1. The main body 10 is telescopically configured to adjust its length, thereby enabling the climbing device to move upward or downward. Specifically, taking the upward movement of the climbing device as an example, the first connecting component 20 is located above the second connecting component 30. First, the first connecting component 20 is connected to the iron tower 1 and the second connecting component 30 is separated from the iron tower 1. Then, the main body 10 is retracted to allow the second connecting component 30 to move upward. Next, the first connecting component 20 is separated from the iron tower 1 and the second connecting component 30 is connected to the iron tower 1. Then, the main body 10 is extended to allow the first connecting component 20 to move upward, thereby achieving the effect of the climbing device moving upward as a whole. The second connecting component 30 includes a base 31, a magnetic structure 32, and a clamping structure 33. The base 31 is connected to the main body 10, and the magnetic structure 32 is used for clamping. Structure 32 is mounted on base 31 and can be magnetically connected to or separated from steel 2. The magnetic structure 32 enables the second connecting component 30 to be quickly connected to or separated from steel 2. Clamping structure 33 is movably mounted on base 31. The second connecting component 30 has a first working state and a second working state. When the second connecting component 30 is in the first working state, clamping structure 33 is spaced apart from steel 2. At this time, clamping structure 33 does not clamp steel 2, so the second connecting component 30 is connected to steel 2 only by magnetic structure 32. This allows the second connecting component 30 to quickly switch between the state of being connected to steel 2 and the state of being separated from steel 2. When the second connecting component 30 is in the second working state, clamping structure 33 is moved closer to steel 2 and clamps steel 2, thereby completing a stable connection between the second connecting component 30 and steel 2. Compared with related technologies that rely solely on magnetic connection, this embodiment can achieve a more stable connection and reduce the possibility of the climbing device falling off. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can effectively solve the problem of insufficient reliability in the connection between the climbing device and the iron tower in related technologies.
[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first connecting component 20 and the second connecting component 30 have similar structures. The first connecting component 20 will not be described in detail here, but the second connecting component 30 will be described in detail.
[0037] Furthermore, the climbing device's "first working state" can be called the "rapid movement state." In this state, the climbing device primarily aims to achieve rapid upward or downward movement, with only the magnetic attraction structure 32 engaging with the steel 2 while the clamping structure 33 does not engage with the steel 2. This allows the second connecting component 30 to quickly switch between being connected to and separated from the steel 2. The magnetic attraction structure 32 is an electromagnet, and its magnetic attraction is controlled by whether it is conductive or non-conductive. The climbing device's "second working state" can be called the "stable connection state." When staff need to use the detection device on the climbing device to inspect electrical equipment, they can switch the climbing device to this state to ensure that the position of the climbing device remains unchanged. When staff need to change the position of the climbing device in the lateral direction, they can switch the climbing device to this state. One of the first connecting component 20 and the second connecting component 30 is stably connected to the steel 2, and the other of the first connecting component 20 and the second connecting component 30 is separated from the steel 2. This ensures that the end of the climbing device connected to the steel 2 can be stably connected when the climbing device rotates, preventing the climbing device from falling off.
[0038] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the second connecting assembly 30 also includes a first driving unit 34, which includes a drive motor 341 and a threaded rod 342. The threaded rod 342 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 341 and rotates synchronously. The threaded rod 342 is threadedly connected to the clamping structure 33. When the threaded rod 342 rotates, it drives the clamping structure 33 to move, so that the clamping structure 33 can switch between a position spaced apart from the steel 2 and a position clamping the steel 2. Specifically, the arrangement of the threaded rod 342 and the drive motor 341 realizes the movement of the clamping structure 33. The clamping structure 33 includes a flat plate structure with a threaded hole. The threaded rod 342 passes through the threaded hole. When the threaded rod 342 rotates, it drives the flat plate structure to move, thereby realizing the movement of the clamping structure 33, thus realizing the switching of the second connecting assembly 30 between a first working state and a second working state.
[0039] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, the clamping structure 33 includes a first telescopic motor 331, a first gripper 332, and a second gripper 333. The first gripper 332 and the second gripper 333 are connected to the two ends of the first telescopic motor 331 and are arranged opposite to each other. The first telescopic motor 331 can drive the first gripper 332 and the second gripper 333 to move towards or away from each other along the first direction a, so that the first gripper 332 and the second gripper 333 can clamp or release the steel 2. Specifically, there are two of each of the first telescopic motor 331, the first gripper 332, and the second gripper 333, which are located at one end of the flat plate structure. The first telescopic motor 331 is connected to the flat plate structure, and the first gripper 332 and the second gripper 333 are located at the two ends of the first telescopic motor 331, so that the first gripper 332 and the second gripper 333 can clamp the steel 2 in the first direction a.
[0040] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the first gripper 332 includes a first connecting plate 3321, a first limiting member, a second limiting member, and a second telescopic motor 3322. The first connecting plate 3321 is connected to the first telescopic motor 331, the first limiting member is connected to the first connecting plate 3321, and the second limiting member is connected to the first connecting plate 3321 via the second telescopic motor 3322, allowing the second limiting member to move towards or away from the first limiting member along the second direction b. This enables the first gripper 332 to grip the steel 2, wherein the first direction a and the second direction b are set at an angle. Specifically, the arrangement of the first and second limiting members enables the first gripper 332 to grip the steel 2 in the second direction b. Through gripping in the first direction a and the second direction b, the gripping effect of the clamping structure 33 on the steel 2 is improved. More specifically, the steel material 2 includes a first steel plate 3 and a second steel plate 4 arranged at an angle. The magnetic structure 32 can be magnetically connected to the first steel plate 3. The first limiting member is a first limiting plate 3323, and the second limiting member is a second limiting plate 3324. The first limiting plate 3323 and the second limiting plate 3324 are arranged in parallel, and the first limiting plate 3323 and the second limiting plate 3324 can clamp the first steel plate 3.
[0041] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, the second gripper 333 includes a second connecting plate 3331, a third limiting plate 3332, a limiting block 3333, and a third telescopic motor 3334. The second connecting plate 3331 is connected to the first telescopic motor 331, and the third limiting plate 3332 is connected to the second connecting plate 3331. The limiting block 3333 is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting of the second steel plate 4. The limiting block 3333 is connected to the second connecting plate 3331 through the third telescopic motor 3334 so that the limiting block 3333 can move towards or away from the third limiting plate 3332 along the second direction b, thereby enabling the second gripper 333 to clamp the second steel plate 4. Specifically, under normal circumstances, steel 2 is angle steel, and the first steel plate 3 and the second steel plate 4 are arranged perpendicular to each other. When clamping the second steel plate 4 in the second direction b, the first end of the second steel plate 4 (that is, the end connected to the first steel plate 3) is limited by the cooperation of the third limiting plate 3332 with the first steel plate 3, and the second end of the second steel plate 4 (that is, the free end) can be inserted into the limiting groove of the limiting block 3333 to cooperate with the limiting groove. The first gripper 332 and the second gripper 333 can clamp the first steel plate 3 and the second steel plate 4 respectively from the second direction b, so that the clamping effect of the clamping structure 33 is better.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the climbing device also includes a second drive unit 35. The main body 10 has a tubular structure, and the second drive unit 35 can drive the base 31 to rotate. The rotation axis of the base 31 is parallel to the axial direction of the main body 10. Specifically, this arrangement increases the flexibility of the climbing device because the rotation axis of the base 31 is parallel to the axial direction of the main body 10. Figure 3 In this state, the extension direction of the main body 10 is consistent with the extension direction of the steel 2, so the second drive unit 35 can adjust the angle between the first connecting component 20 and the second connecting component 30 relative to the steel 2 with the extension direction of the steel 2 as the axis.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the climbing device also includes a third drive unit 36. The base 31 includes a mounting base 313 and a first plate 311 and a second plate 312 arranged at an angle. The first plate 311 is connected to the second drive unit 35. The third drive unit 36 is connected to the second plate 312 and can drive the second plate 312 to rotate relative to the mounting base 313. The rotation axis of the second plate 312 is arranged perpendicular to the second plate 312. The magnetic suction structure 32 and the clamping structure 33 are both connected to the mounting base 313.
[0044] This configuration allows for lateral movement of the climbing device; specifically, as shown... Figure 3The part of the steel 2 connected to the magnetic structure 32 (which is also the first steel plate 3 in this embodiment) is parallel to the second plate 312. The first connecting component 20 is separated from the steel 2 and the second connecting component 30 is connected to the steel 2. Then the third driving part 36 drives the second plate 312 to rotate relative to the mounting base 313, thereby causing the base 31 to drive the main body 10 to rotate, thereby realizing the lateral movement of the climbing device.
[0045] like Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the climbing device also includes a fourth drive unit 37. The main body 10 includes a first sleeve 11, a second sleeve 12, and a transmission structure 13. The second sleeve 12 is fitted onto one end of the first sleeve 11 and can slide relative to the first sleeve 11. The second connecting assembly 30 is connected to the second sleeve 12. The fourth drive unit 37 is disposed on the first sleeve 11. The transmission structure 13 is connected between the second sleeve 12 and the fourth drive unit 37. The fourth drive unit 37 drives the second sleeve 12 to move through the transmission structure 13 to adjust the length of the main body 10. Specifically, the transmission structure 13 has the advantage of simple structure. The fourth drive unit 37 can drive the second sleeve 12 to move through the transmission structure 13, thereby realizing the adjustment of the length of the main body 10.
[0046] like Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the transmission structure 13 includes a meshing gear 131 and a rack 132. The gear 131 is connected to the output shaft of the fourth drive unit 37, and the rack 132 is disposed on the second sleeve 12. Specifically, the gear 131 and rack 132 have the advantages of simple structure and easy processing. The rotation of the gear 131 drives the rack 132 to move, which in turn drives the second sleeve 12 to move. In this embodiment, the main body 10 also includes a third sleeve. The third sleeve and the second sleeve 12 are respectively located at both ends of the first sleeve 11. A rack is disposed on the third sleeve. The rack and the rack 132 are respectively located on both sides of the gear 131. In this way, the rotation of the gear 131 can drive the third sleeve and the second sleeve 12 to move towards each other or away from each other.
[0047] like Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the first sleeve 11 is provided with a first stop block 111, and the second sleeve 12 is provided with a second stop block 121 that can cooperate with the first stop block 111 to prevent the second sleeve 12 from dislodging from the first sleeve 11. Specifically, when the rack 132 moves to a certain distance, the second stop block 121 moves to a position where it abuts against the first stop block 111, at which point the second sleeve 12 can no longer move.
[0048] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is generally based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0049] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0050] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.
[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
