DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] See also Figure 1-5, an innovative drone-mounted gravity mechanical grounding wire installation device, brings a new solution to the field of power operations. The device is mainly composed of a drone 1 and a rope 2, which work closely together to complete the installation task of the grounding wire. The drone 1 is firmly connected to the rope 2 below, which is like a bridge connecting the drone to the key components below. A hook 3 is installed below the rope 2, which plays an important role in connecting the upper and lower parts of the entire device.

[0031] Inside the drone 1, a battery 4 is carefully installed. The battery 4 is the power source of the entire drone system. It provides continuous and stable power for the flight of the drone and various devices involved in subsequent related operations, ensuring that the drone will not be interrupted or malfunction due to insufficient power during the execution of the ground wire installation task. A well-designed bracket 5 is installed at the bottom of the drone 1. The bracket 5 is one of the key elements for the structural stability of the entire device.

[0032] The support frame 5 is provided with a drone base plate 101, and a support plate 507 is provided below the drone base plate 101. This double-layer structure design makes the device more stable and reliable when carrying and fixing other components. The support frame 5 is provided with a first threaded hole 502 and a second threaded hole 506 in the vertical direction and the vertical direction respectively, and the first threaded hole 502 is coaxially matched with the threaded rod 501. This threaded hole and threaded rod matching mode can accurately adjust and fix the position of each component, ensuring that the structure of the device remains stable in a complex working environment without loosening or displacement, thereby ensuring the smooth installation of the grounding wire.

[0033] In some more detailed embodiments, a threaded column 503 is provided directly below the second threaded hole 506, and the threaded column 503 is precisely mounted on the fixed arc plate 504 below it. A clamping arc plate 505 is installed on one side of the fixed arc plate 504. The two arc plates cooperate with each other to effectively clamp and fix the relevant components, further enhancing the stability of the entire device. An internal threaded tube 6 is installed below the fixed arc plate 504, and the internal threaded tube 6 works closely with other components during the installation of the grounding wire. A hook 7 is installed below the hook 3, and the cooperation between the hook 7 and the internal threaded tube 6 plays a vital role in the installation and fixation of the grounding wire.

[0034] From the structure of the hook 3, the top is a link 303, which is like a solid hub, tightly connecting the hook with the rope above, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the entire lifting system. The link 303 is installed on the shell 304 below it. As an important component of the hook 3, the shell 304 provides protection and support for other internal components. A driving plate 305 is installed below the shell 304, and a diagonal brace plate 301 is provided between the shell 304 and the driving plate 305. The existence of the diagonal brace plate 301 enhances the connection strength between the two, so that the driving plate 305 can play a more stable role during the working process. A clamping claw 302 is installed below the driving plate 305. The clamping claw 302 is a key component for grabbing the grounding wire. Its design and material have been carefully considered, and it can firmly grasp the grounding wire to ensure that the grounding wire will not fall off during the lifting process. A cover plate 306 is installed on the front side of the shell 304. The cover plate 306 can not only protect the components inside the hook from erosion by the external environment, but also improve the safety of the entire hook system to a certain extent. The internal threaded tube 6 and the hook 7 are connected coaxially with each other by threads. This connection method ensures a close fit between the two, so that the grounding wire can be stably hung in a suitable position during the installation process.

[0035] Using drones to replace workers in climbing can effectively reduce the psychological pressure of tower climbers, completely avoid the risk of falling during the climbing process, and effectively ensure the safety of tower climbers to avoid falling from heights and electric shock accidents. Drone installation and disassembly of grounding is ready for use, has a wide range of applications, strong practicality, and low maintenance costs. It has obvious advantages over traditional operation methods, significantly shortening the time for traditional hanging grounding wires to less than 40 minutes, reducing the number of operators, greatly improving work efficiency, and avoiding accidents caused by long installation time and high physical exertion of personnel, with significant safety benefits.

[0036] The gravity mechanical installation grounding wire also has the characteristics of the drone remote control technology installation grounding wire device. The material is made of aluminum alloy, which is not affected by strong electromagnetic interference and distance signal interruption, and this device is used in conjunction with the electric remote control. The gravity mechanical installation grounding wire device adopts a single hook double tongue tensioning type made of aluminum alloy. The splint is fixed on the ring, and the double tongue is installed on the splint to lock. There is a movable wheel in the splint. One end of the steel wire is fixed to the upper part of the splint, and the other end tightly clamps the wire between the double tongues to lock it. After the grounding wire is installed, the weight of the grounding wire itself will cause the movable locker to lock the wire.

[0037] Working principle: The drone 1 carries the installation equipment and flies to the target location. A rope 2 is connected to the bottom of the drone, and the end of the rope is connected to the hook 3. The drone is powered by a built-in battery 4 to ensure the continuous operation of the equipment. The bracket 5 at the bottom of the drone provides structural support, and the drone base plate 101 and the bracket 507 are arranged on the bracket to stabilize the equipment. The bracket is provided with a first threaded hole 502 and a second threaded hole 506 for fixing the threaded rod 501 and the threaded column 503 to ensure the stability of the equipment in the vertical and horizontal directions. The hook 3 is fixedly connected to the shell 304 below through the top link 303, and the driving plate 305 is connected to the shell through the diagonal brace plate 301. The driving plate 305 grabs the ground wire through the clamp 302, and the assembly is protected by the front cover 306 of the shell 304. The internal threaded tube 6 for ground wire installation is connected to the hook 7 by threading to ensure the stability of the installation process. The clamp system is fixed on the ring, and a double-tongue locking device is installed on the clamp to ensure that the wire is locked by the movable wheel and the steel wire. After installation, the weight of the grounding wire triggers the active lock, which firmly locks the wire and securely fixes the grounding wire. After the grounding wire is installed, the drone can be safely withdrawn, leaving the installed grounding wire behind. This method greatly shortens the installation time of the grounding wire, reduces the need for operators, and improves work efficiency. This system combines drone technology with mechanical devices to achieve an efficient and safe grounding wire installation process, avoiding the risk of operators climbing the tower in traditional methods.

[0038] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the present invention; however, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solution and its improved conception within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
