Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of ultra-high voltage transmission line maintenance technology, and more specifically, to multi-functional defect elimination robots. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of the power grid, transmission lines play a crucial role in ensuring the safe, economical, and reliable operation of the grid. However, due to their wide distribution and the complex geographical environments they often face, transmission lines are highly susceptible to various adverse conditions, leading to operational failures. These failures not only directly threaten the safe and reliable operation of the lines but can also, in severe cases, cause large-scale power outages, resulting in significant losses to social life and economic development.
[0003] Of particular note is that low-frequency vibrations caused by light winds (also known as secondary span vibrations or galloping) pose a serious challenge to the long-term reliability of transmission lines. This vibration has a significant negative impact on critical components such as connecting hardware, spacers, and counterweights. These hardware components are essential for ensuring the proper securing of conductors and insulator strings, and loose or missing nuts and pins can significantly reduce the tightness of the hardware, thereby affecting conductor stability and increasing the risk of line faults.
[0004] Currently, the maintenance of power transmission lines mainly relies on manual live-line work. This not only requires operators to perform high-intensity labor in harsh working environments, but also poses a significant threat to the personal safety of the operators due to the strong electric field. Especially during equipotential work, the difficulty and danger of manual operation are significantly increased due to the limitations of the distance between crossarms and phases.
[0005] To overcome these challenges, research and practice have begun on using automated and remote technologies such as drones and electric lifting equipment for live-line work on power transmission lines. However, these technologies are currently mostly applied only to simple tasks such as inspection or cleaning foreign objects. For more complex repair work, although some devices and technologies have been developed, they are often only applicable to single work scenarios and lack comprehensive solutions.
[0006] Therefore, in view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention aims to provide a multi-functional defect elimination robot to overcome the limitations of the prior art and meet the urgent needs of practical applications.

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a multi-functional defect elimination robot includes a frame 1. The frame 1 is equipped with a drone mounting part for mounting a drone, allowing the drone to lift the robot to the power transmission line. The drone mounting part is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The defect elimination robot is also equipped with multiple cameras to monitor the robot's working status in real time and to adjust the drone's flight attitude on the lifting device. This will also not be described in detail here. A spacing adjustment structure 60 is installed on the frame 1, and a line spacing adjustment structure 60 is installed on the spacing adjustment structure 60. The spacing adjustment structure 60 allows the overall size or shape of the robot to be adjusted according to the working environment and task requirements, improving its adaptability to the spacing of power transmission lines.
[0041] The line spacing adjustment structure 60 includes a first electric push rod 4, a first support leg 5 and a second support leg 6 mounted on the spacing adjustment structure 60. The first support leg 5 and the second support leg 6 are hinged to a mounting base 7. A pressure wheel 8 is mounted on the mounting base 7. A traveling wheel 9 is mounted above the pressure wheel 8. The traveling wheel 9 is connected to a first motor 10 that provides power to it.
[0042] The walking wheel 9 is composed of two truncated cones joined together and connected at the joint by a guide post 11. Teeth are provided on the truncated cone closest to the frame 1, with the teeth positioned on the side with the larger diameter. The walking wheel 9 is connected to the first power motor 10 via a fourth gear 12, which meshes with the teeth on the truncated cone. Four walking wheels 9 are provided and installed at the four corners of the frame 1, with a corresponding clamping wheel 8 installed below each walking wheel 9. The first electric actuator 4 starts working, adjusting the distance between the walking wheel 9 and the clamping wheel 8 to fix the robot to the high-voltage power line. Then, the first motor 10 starts, driving the walking wheel 9 to move along the power line. The unique design of the walking wheel 9 and its meshing with the fourth gear 12 ensure smooth and accurate movement. Simultaneously, the clamping wheel 8 maintains contact with the power line, preventing the robot from slipping.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] This embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that the extension structure 13 is described in more detail. The robotic arm 2 is installed on the frame 1 and is located at the front end of the frame 1. The robotic arm 2 is connected to a defect elimination tool or a pin repair tool. The defect elimination tool is modified by the worker using an existing electric wrench, which will not be described in detail here. The robotic arm 2 is an existing structure applied to the defect elimination robot. The robotic arm 2 can turn in multiple directions, which allows the robot to flexibly cope with various complex working environments, such as different angles and positions of power transmission lines.
[0045] By connecting to defect elimination or repair fixtures, robotic arm 2 can perform a variety of tasks, improving the robot's versatility and practicality.
[0046] The robotic arm 2 is provided with an extension structure 13 at its front end. The extension structure 13 is slidably connected to the robotic arm 2. This slidable connection between the extension structure 13 and the robotic arm 2 allows the extension structure 13 to extend and retract as needed, thereby adapting to different working distance requirements.
[0047] A second motor 14 is installed on the robotic arm 2. A screw 15 is provided between the second motor 14 and the extension structure 13. One end of the screw 15 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the second motor 14, and the other end is threadedly connected to the extension structure 13. The extension mechanism is provided with an installation interface for installing a replacement pin fixture at the end away from the robotic arm 2. Both the defect elimination fixture and the replacement pin fixture are connected to the robotic arm 2 through the installation interface.
[0048] The extension structure 13 is precisely moved by rotating the screw 15 driven by the second motor 14. This design not only improves the stability of the extension structure 13 but also makes operation simpler and more accurate. An installation interface is provided at the end of the extension structure 13 facing away from the robotic arm 2, allowing for easy connection of the defect removal tooling and the pin replacement tooling to the robotic arm 2, improving work efficiency and flexibility. The second motor 14, as the power source, provides stable and reliable power output for the movement of the extension structure 13. The defect removal tooling and the pin replacement tooling are used to perform different tasks, such as eliminating defects in the power transmission line and replacing missing pins. The combined use of these two toolings enables the robot to handle a variety of tasks.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] This embodiment provides a more detailed description of the horizontal displacement structure. The replacement pin fixture includes a mounting platform 3 and a horizontal displacement structure mounted on the mounting platform 3. A guide rail 16 is provided between the horizontal displacement structure and the mounting platform 3. Two guide rails 16 are installed, and the two guide rails 16 are installed parallel to each other on both sides of the mounting platform 3. A rack 18 is provided between the two guide rails 16. The horizontal displacement structure includes a base plate 19, which is located above the guide rails 16. A slider adapted to the guide rails 16 is installed on the base plate 19.
[0051] A third motor 20 is mounted on the base plate 19. A power gear 21 is mounted on the power output end of the third motor 20. A driven gear 22 is provided between the power gear 21 and the rack 18, and the driven gear 22 is rotatably connected to the base plate 19. Through the cooperation of the guide rail 16 and the slider, high-precision horizontal displacement of the pin-repairing fixture is achieved. The parallel installation of the guide rail 16 and the precise setting of the rack 18 ensure the stability and accuracy of the horizontal translation structure. The third motor 20, as the power source, provides a strong driving force for the horizontal translation structure through the transmission of the power gear 21 and the driven gear 22. The rotation of the driven gear 22 causes the base plate 19 to slide on the guide rail 16 and move horizontally along the direction of the rack 18. Due to the cooperation of the guide rail 16 and the slider, and the precise setting of the rack 18, the stability and accuracy of the movement of the base plate 19 are ensured. When the base plate 19 moves to the designated position, the operator stops the rotation of the third motor 20 via a remote control or a preset program.
[0052] Example 4
[0053] This embodiment provides a more detailed description of the vertical translation structure and the pin clamps. The vertical translation structure, installed on the horizontal displacement structure, includes a fourth motor 24 mounted on the top plate 23 of the horizontal translation structure. A lifting rod 25 is provided between the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 19. The two ends of the lifting rod 25 are rotatably connected to the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 19, respectively. A thread is provided in the middle of the lifting rod 25. There are two lifting rods 25. Each lifting rod 25 has a pulley 26 at one end on the top plate 23. The pulley 26 is connected to the power output end of the fourth motor 24 through a transmission belt 27. Two guide rails 16 are provided between the bottom plate 19 and the top plate 23. The two guide rails 16 are located behind the two lifting rods 25, respectively.
[0054] A fifth motor 28 is disposed between the two guide rails 16, and the two sides of the fifth motor 28 are slidably connected to the guide rails 16 through the sliding members respectively. The fourth motor 24 drives the pulley 26 and the transmission belt 27 to rotate the lifting rod 25. Since the lifting rod 25 has a thread in the middle, the lifting platform 29 can be raised and lowered precisely. This design ensures high-precision movement of the pin clamp in the vertical direction.
[0055] Two lifting rods 25 are arranged in parallel and achieve synchronous lifting through pulleys 26 and drive belts 27, providing stable support for the lifting platform 29. At the same time, the two guide rails 16 further enhance the stability of the vertical translation structure.
[0056] The rotatable connection between the lifting rod 25 and the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 19, as well as the threaded connection between the lifting platform 29 and the lifting rod 25, enable the vertical translation structure to flexibly adjust its height to adapt to different working environments and task requirements.
[0057] The vertical translation structure is equipped with pin grippers, which include a lifting platform 29 that is threadedly connected to the two lifting rods 25. A first rotating rod 30 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the fifth motor 28. Two clamping arms 31 are hinged on the lifting platform 29. A connecting rod 32 is hinged between the two clamping arms 31. The connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 30 through the connecting member. The two clamping arms 31 are arranged in a figure-eight shape on the side near the guide rail 16.
[0058] Two clamping arms 31 are connected to the first rotating rod 30 via a connecting rod 32. When the fifth motor 28 drives the first rotating rod 30 to rotate, the clamping arms 31 can quickly open or close, achieving efficient clamping of the pin. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the fifth motor 28, precise control of the opening and closing of the clamping arms 31 can be achieved, making the operation simple and easy to automate.
[0059] Working principle of vertical translation structure:
[0060] When the height of the pin clamp needs to be adjusted, the operator starts the fourth motor 24 via remote control or a preset program. The fourth motor 24 drives the pulley 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting rod 25 to rotate via the transmission belt 27. Because the lifting rod 25 has a thread in the middle, its rotation can cause the lifting platform 29 to rise and fall along the thread direction.
[0061] The lifting movement of the lifting platform 29 is guided and supported by the guide rail 16 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the lifting process.
[0062] Working principle of pin clamps:
[0063] When a pin needs to be clamped, the operator starts the fifth motor 28 via remote control or a preset program. The fifth motor 28 drives the first rotating rod 30 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 32 to rotate via a connector. The rotation of the connecting rod 32 causes relative movement between the two clamping arms 31 at the hinge point, causing the clamping arms 31 to open or close rapidly. When the clamping arms 31 are closed, they can clamp the pin; when they are open, they can release the pin. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the fifth motor 28, precise control of the opening and closing of the clamping arms 31 can be achieved.
[0064] Example 5
[0065] This embodiment focuses on a more detailed description of the pin box, which is located inside the mounting platform 3. The pin box includes a seventh motor 42 installed in the middle of the mounting platform 3 and a pin holder connected to the seventh motor 42 via a conveyor belt 43. The pin holder is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting platform 3. The pin holder includes a pin box 45 and a rotating wheel 46. The pin box 45 is provided with pin holes 47 for storing pins. The rotating wheel 46 is located on one side of the pin box 45 and is fixedly connected to the pin box 45.
[0066] The conveyor belt 43 drives the rotating wheel 46 to rotate, thereby rotating the pin box. The vertical translation structure, the horizontal translation structure, and the pin clamping claw work together to clamp the pin out of the pin box (see reference). Figure 8 and Figure 9 (Work status diagram).
[0067] Example 6
[0068] This embodiment provides a more detailed description of the overhead device and the nut clamp. The mounting platform 3 has an overhead device and a nut clamp installed at its front end, with the nut clamp located above the overhead device.
[0069] The nut clamp includes a sixth motor 33 installed inside the mounting platform 3. A lever 34 is rotatably connected to the power output end of the sixth motor 33. A push-pull rod 35 is hinged to the lever 34. A first limiting block 36 is provided on the push-pull rod 35. A first stop block 37 adapted to the first limiting block 36 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting platform 3. A first connecting rod 3832 is installed at the front end of the mounting platform 3. Two clamping plates 39 are installed at the front end of the mounting plate. One end of the two clamping plates 39 is hinged to the mounting platform 3. A second rotating rod 40 is hinged to the other end of the push-pull rod 35. A pull rod 41 is provided between the second rotating rod 40 and the clamping plate 39. The pull rod 41 is hinged to the first connecting rod 38. Both ends of the pull rod 41 are respectively hinged to the second rotating rod 40 and the clamping plate 39. When it is necessary to clamp the nut, the sixth motor 33 is started, driving the lever 34 to rotate.
[0070] When the lever 34 rotates, the hinged push-pull rod 35 pushes the first limit block 36 to contact the first stop block 37, thereby driving the push-pull rod 35 to move.
[0071] When the push-pull rod 35 moves, the two clamping plates 39 rotate relative to each other through the hinged second rotating rod 40 and pull rod 41, thus clamping the nut. When it is necessary to release the nut, the sixth motor 33 reverses, driving the lever 34 to rotate in the opposite direction, and through the same principle, the clamping plates 39 release the nut.
[0072] The device includes a housing 48 mounted on the front end of the mounting platform 3. The housing 48 is hinged to the first connecting rod 38. An eighth motor 49 for vertical displacement is installed inside the mounting platform 3. A second connecting rod 50 is connected to the power output end on one side of the eighth motor 49. The two ends of the second connecting rod 50 are respectively hinged to the housing 48 and the power output end on one side of the eighth motor 49. A second limiting block 51 is provided on the power output end on the other side of the eighth motor 49. A second stop block 52 adapted to the second limiting block 51 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting platform 3.
[0073] A ninth motor 53 is mounted on the outer casing 48. A first gear 54 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the ninth motor 53. The first gear 54 meshes with a second gear 55. The second gear 55 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 48. There are two second gears 55 with opposite rotation directions. Each of the two second gears 55 has a third gear 56, and each of the two third gears 56 meshes with a bending block 57. The bending block 57 has a slot 58 for fixing the pin. A fixing plate 59 is fixedly mounted on the outer casing 48, located between the third gear 56 and the bending block 57. The bending block 57 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 59. The ninth motor 53 drives the two bending blocks 57 to rotate in opposite directions, thus bending the pin. When the ninth motor 53 starts, it drives the first gear 54 to rotate.
[0074] When the first gear 54 rotates, the meshing second gear 55 drives the two third gears 56 to rotate. Since the two second gears 55 rotate in opposite directions, the two third gears 56 also rotate in opposite directions.
[0075] The pin is inserted into pin hole 47 through the cooperation of the vertical translation structure, the horizontal translation structure, and the pin clamp. (See reference) Figure 8 and Figure 9 When the two third gears 56 rotate, they drive the meshing bending block 57 to rotate, thereby bending the pin. The slot 58 on the bending block 57 is used to fix the pin and prevent it from moving during the bending process.
