Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cable maintenance, in particular to power supply line inspection equipment and an inspection method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a power connection device, the power supply line is usually composed of multiple cables and connected between two groups of power equipment. At the same time, the multiple cables are usually arranged equidistantly through wire racks at the head and tail to ensure the safety of the cables. The surface of the cables is usually wrapped with an insulating layer. During long-term use, the cables will inevitably be damaged due to aging, so maintenance personnel are required to conduct regular inspections.

[0003] The traditional method is to use power equipment to conduct regular measurements to check for leakage and to replace cables regularly. However, during the service life of the cable, the cable may be damaged due to some extreme environments, but the damage may not necessarily cause leakage, which makes it impossible to detect directly. Therefore, inspection equipment is needed for detection.

[0004] Traditional inspection equipment is mounted on the cable, moves on wheels, and then uses a camera to observe the surface of the cable. However, in actual application, the operator is required to install the equipment from the cable rack at one end to the outer surface of the cable, and after it moves to the end of the cable, it is allowed to return automatically, and then the operator transfers it to the next group of cables. In this process, the return trip of the inspection equipment is an empty run, which results in its effective inspection mileage being almost halved based on limited power storage. At the same time, multiple cable inspections require the operator to transfer them one by one, which is cumbersome to operate. After the inspection, the specific damaged location of the wire cannot be accurately marked. During the subsequent wire maintenance, the operator needs to perform a manual secondary search, then cut off the damaged section and reconnect the wires, which is very troublesome. For this purpose, a power supply line inspection device and an inspection method thereof are specially provided. Summary of the invention

When in use, the entire inspection equipment moves along a cable to one end of the cable to the end, and after completing the complete detection of the cable, the control host is connected through an external mobile terminal, and the position of the line-changing unit is observed by using an observation lens, and a control signal is sent to the control host according to the position of the line-changing connection track. In this way, the observation lens is used as a control observation, and the line-changing connection track is remotely controlled to rotate to the bottom end close to the adjacent cable, and then another group of line-changing mounting parts is controlled to be mounted on the adjacent cable. At this time, the line-changing connection track is suspended on the two adjacent groups of cables, and then the control host moves to the other group of cables through the line-changing motor to complete the line change, and then the inspection equipment moves back from the end of the second group of cables and detects, thereby realizing automatic line change of the entire device, and there is no idle operation during the opening and closing process, thereby realizing a longer effective inspection mileage based on limited power storage.

[0081] 2. The power supply line inspection equipment and the inspection method thereof are provided with a walking unit, and a detection unit and an opening and closing spraying unit are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the walking unit.

At the same time, the visual module is controlled and connected with the spraying module through the control host. The visual module controls the three groups of cameras respectively, and provides image processing and visual positioning for the three groups of cameras. When the three groups of cameras detect the damaged area, the visual module provides the output spraying signal and image coordinates to the control host, and sends them to the spraying module. The spraying module parses the coordinate signal and controls the sliding nozzle to move, thereby realizing the spraying of the damaged area, so as to facilitate the rapid positioning of the damaged area in the subsequent maintenance process.

[0082] 3. The power supply line inspection equipment and the inspection method thereof are configured with a push rod and a push frame so that the detection unit and the opening and closing spraying unit are both connected to the walking unit in a transmission manner. When changing the line, as the flip walking part on the top of the walking unit moves up and flips to one side, the opening and closing spraying unit is automatically opened and separated from the original cable by the push rod, and at the same time, the two groups of second cameras are automatically flipped and stored by the push frame, so as to automatically separate from the first group of cables when changing the line, and avoid obstructions and collisions when changing the line while ensuring effective detection and spraying operations.

[0120] Working principle: When the device is in use, a group of cables at the side of multiple parallel cables is selected for mounting. At this time, the control host 1 is held by hand, and the suspension seat 31 is brought close to the target cable from below, and then the flip motor 35 is controlled to start, so that the flip frame 331 flips inward, so that the flip frame 331 is buckled on the top of the cable, and the control host 1 is released. At this time, the entire control host 1 is mounted on the target cable using the walking wheel 332. At this time, the linear motor 32 is started, so that the suspension seat 31 moves downward in the control host 1, and the bottom end of the suspension seat 31 pushes the power piston cylinder 36 The output shaft of the power piston cylinder 36 moves downward, so that the air pressure inside the power piston cylinder 36 increases, and the air pressure pushes the output shaft of the output piston cylinder 37 to move upward, thereby driving the lifting block 341 to move upward, so that the U-shaped wheel seat 342 is inserted into the inside of the flip frame 331. At this time, under the action of the elastic connecting piece 344, the auxiliary roller 343 is close to the bottom of the cable. At this time, the travel motor 336 is started, driving a set of travel drive gears 334 to rotate, and at the same time, using multiple transmission gears 335, multiple sets of travel wheels 332 are synchronously rotated, so that the entire control host 1 starts to move along the target cable;

[0121] During the above operation, as the suspension seat 31 moves downward, it drives the flip driving rack 56 to move downward through the push frame 52, and the flip driving rack 56 engages with the flip gear 55, so that the flip arm 57 drives the two sets of second cameras 53 to flip out from the storage bin 51, and at the same time cooperates with the first camera 54 on the flip frame 331, and forms a visual intersection through three sets of cameras, forming a complete visual inspection plan for the outer wall of the entire cable. At this time, the control host 1 is locked to move, and the three sets of cameras perform continuous appearance inspection;

[0122] During the above operation, as the suspension seat 31 moves downward, it pulls the double-sided rack 48 downward through the push rod 43. At this time, the double-sided rack 48 drives the opening and closing gear 47 to rotate, so that the two sets of arc-shaped slide rails 42 flip toward the middle to form a ring-shaped encirclement of the cable. At this time, when the three sets of cameras detect that there is damage on the surface of the cable, a spraying signal is given, and the damage position is determined by the three sets of cameras. At this time, the moving motor 410 is started, driving a set of moving gears 411 to rotate. At this time, the moving gear 411 is engaged with the arc-shaped rack 49, so that the sliding nozzle 45 moves along the arc-shaped slide rail 42 to the target position, and the walking motor 336 rotates at a uniform speed. , so that the entire walking unit 3 moves at a uniform speed, and the time for the opening and closing spraying unit 4 to move to the damaged position after the damaged position is found can be calculated through the straight-line distance between the opening and closing spraying unit 4 and the detection unit 5 and the moving speed of the walking unit 3, so that the opening and closing spraying unit 4 can complete the azimuth adjustment of the sliding nozzle 45 within the target time, and then at the end of the target time, the solenoid valve on the spraying pipe 46 is started, and the paint in the high-pressure paint tank 44 is sprayed outward through the spraying pipe 46, and finally sprayed on the damaged position on the cable surface through the sliding nozzle 45, so as to form a color mark, which is convenient for rapid positioning to the damaged position during subsequent maintenance;

[0123] When the device moves to the end of the target cable, the entire device is Figure 1 In the state shown, the rotating motor 233 is controlled to drive the rotating driving gear 234 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating gear 232 to rotate. At this time, the rotating gear 232 and the hanging plate 231 rotate, synchronously driving the entire line-changing connecting track 21 to rotate around the rotating shaft 236 as the axis, and finally making the other end of the line-changing connecting track 21 flip from the bottom to fit the bottom of an adjacent group of cables. At this time, the torsion driving motor 225 drives the torsion driving gear 226 to rotate, and the torsion driving gear 226 meshes with the torsion driven gear 224, thereby driving the line-changing The hanging arm 221 on the side of the connecting track 21 is flipped so that the hanging arm 221 is turned upward, and then the low-speed motor 227 is started to drive the low-speed gear 228 to rotate, so that the low-speed gear 228 drives the entire hanging arm 221 to slide along the linear slide 25, and finally the hook 222 at the top of the hanging arm 221 is hung on the surface of the cable to be replaced, and then the linear drive motor 223 drives the hook 222 to retract, so that the hook 222 is firmly connected to the target cable. At this time, the line-changing connecting track 21 is connected to the outer surfaces of the two adjacent groups of cables. Figure 2 Status shown;

[0124] At this time, the linear motor 32 starts, driving the suspension seat 31 to move upward. At this time, the entire control host 1 is supported by the hanging arms 221 on both sides and the cable suspension. At this time, the suspension seat 31 drives the flip walking part 33 to move upward. At the same time, as the suspension seat 31 moves upward, the auxiliary walking part 34 automatically moves down and moves out of the flip frame 331. At the same time, the suspension seat 31 drives the push rod 43 and the push frame 52 to move upward, so that the two groups of flip arms 57 drive the two groups of second cameras 53 to flip and store them in the storage bin 51 for storage. At the same time, the two groups of arc slide rails 42 flip outward and spread out, detaching from the cable surface, and then the flip motor 35 starts, driving the flip frame 331 to flip to one side from the cable surface, so that the walking unit 3, the opening and closing spraying unit 4 and the detection unit 5 on the top of the entire control host 1 are all separated from the first group of cables;

[0125] At this time, the line-changing motor 235 is started, and the line-changing gear 237 is driven to rotate through the rotating shaft 236, so that the line-changing gear 237 moves along the linear rack 24, so that the control host 1 moves along the line-changing connection track 21 through the hanging plate 231, and finally the control host 1 moves to the outer surface of the next group of cables. At this time, the linear motor 32 and the flip motor 35 are started, so that the walking unit 3, the opening and closing spraying unit 4 and the detection unit 5 are connected to the second group of cables. At this time, the linear drive motor 223 located on the first group of cables is started, driving the hook 222 to move upward, and then the low-speed motor 227 drives the hanging arm 221 from the surface of the first group of cables. The surface is moved away, and then the twisting drive motor 225 drives the line-changing connection track 21 to rotate with the rotating shaft 236 located on the second group of cables, so that the line-changing connection track 21 is flipped and reset to the vertical downward state on both sides of the control host 1. At this time, the upper and lower ends of the line-changing connection track 21 are reversed, but it does not affect the next flipping and use, thereby completing the line-changing operation of the device. At this time, the entire device moves back from the end of the second group of cables, and detects during the movement, thereby realizing automatic line changing of the entire device, and there is no idle running in the back and forth process, thereby achieving a longer effective inspection mileage based on limited power storage.

The control host 1 is essentially a microcomputer. When in use, the remote terminal realizes remote control connection with the control host 1 through the communication antenna 13.

[0127] When in use, the remote terminal observes the operation status of the entire control host 1 outside through the observation lens 14, and controls the walking unit 3 to move along the cable through the walking control module. After the detection unit 5 obtains the image, the detection image is processed through the visual module. At the same time, the visual module is controlled and connected with the opening and closing spraying unit 4 through the control host 1 and the spraying module. The visual module controls the three groups of cameras respectively, and provides image processing and visual positioning for the three groups of cameras. When the three groups of cameras detect the damaged area, the visual module provides the control host 1 with the output spraying signal and image coordinates, and sends them to the spraying module. The spraying module parses the coordinate signal and controls the sliding nozzle 45 to move, thereby realizing the spraying of the damaged area.

[0128] When changing lines, the remote terminal observes the position of the line changing unit 2 through the observation lens 14, and sends a control signal to the control host 1 according to the position of the line changing connection track 21. In this way, the observation lens 14 is used as a control observation to realize remote manual control of the line changing unit 2, and finally realize the line changing.
