Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of bolt tightening robots, in particular to a power tower bolt tightening robot. Background Art

[0002] Transmission line towers are tower-shaped buildings used for power transmission. Their structural characteristics are that all tower types are spatial truss structures. The rods are mainly composed of single equilateral angle steel or combined angle steel. The materials generally used are Q235 (A3F) and Q345 (16Mn). Rough bolts are used to connect the rods, and the shear force is applied by the bolts. The entire tower is composed of angle steel, connecting steel plates and bolts. Individual components such as the tower foot are welded from several steel plates into an assembly. Therefore, hot-dip galvanizing is used for corrosion protection, and transportation and construction and erection are extremely convenient. In addition, the tightness of the bolts must be strictly controlled during the installation, inspection and maintenance process to eliminate safety hazards. When tightening the bolts, a bolt tightening robot will be used to tighten the bolts.

[0003] According to Chinese patent publication number CN114799845A, a transmission tower bolt tightening robot is disclosed. This invention realizes the robot's forward movement and straddling foot spikes by sequentially lifting, moving, and lowering the front, mid, and rear foot mechanisms. This allows the robot to climb obstacles and tighten bolts on the tower. During each movement, two pairs of electromagnetic suction cups are simultaneously attached to the surface of the tower angle steel to provide sufficient suction force to prevent the machine from overturning or sliding. The invention has the characteristics of simple structure and easy operation, and solves the problems of high risk and heavy labor in manual operations.

[0053] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: first, when the robot is used, the first electromagnet suction cup 5 can be made to fit with the surface of the iron tower angle steel, and the first electromagnet suction cup 5 can be started to generate magnetism when it is energized, and then it can be adsorbed on the surface of the iron tower angle steel. If the first electromagnet suction cup 5, the second electromagnet suction cup 14 and the third electromagnet suction cup 15 are all required to fit with the surface of the iron tower angle steel in order to improve the stability of the robot, the first motor 10 can be started, and the first motor 10 can drive the first screw rod 11 to rotate, so as to drive the first threaded seat 12 to move, and the first threaded seat 12 moves. The movement will drive the cross frame 13 to move, and then drive the bottom plate 1 and the first electromagnetic suction cup 5 to move. When the first electromagnetic suction cup 5, the second electromagnetic suction cup 14 and the third electromagnetic suction cup 15 are on the same horizontal line, the first motor 10 is turned off, and then the first electromagnetic suction cup 5, the second electromagnetic suction cup 14 and the third electromagnetic suction cup 15 are attached to the surface of the tower angle steel, and the first electromagnetic suction cup 5, the second electromagnetic suction cup 14 and the third electromagnetic suction cup 15 are started to generate magnetism when they are energized, so that they can be adsorbed on the surface of the tower angle steel, thereby improving the stability of the robot;

[0054] Then, the size of the socket to be used is determined according to the size of the bolt. When a large bolt needs to be tightened, the first socket 905 is used, and the second socket 906 is used for a medium-sized bolt. The third socket 907 is used for a small-sized bolt. When the second socket 906 is needed to tighten the screw, the first electric push rod 903 can be started to cause the piston rod to contract and thereby drive the first sleeve 905 to move upward, so that the second sleeve 906 leaks out, making it convenient to tighten the medium-sized bolt through the second sleeve 906. When using the third sleeve 907, the first electric push rod 903 and the second electric push rod 904 are started at the same time, so that the first sleeve 905 and the second sleeve 906 are both moved toward the mounting plate 901, making it convenient for the third sleeve 907 to leak out for use.

[0055] Then start the third motor 21. When the third motor 21 is working, it can drive the third screw rod 22 to rotate, and then drive the movable frame 23 to move, and drive the first sleeve 905, the second sleeve 906 and the third sleeve 907 to move, so that the corresponding sleeve is mounted on the bolt of the corresponding model. Then start the brushless motor 24. When the brushless motor 24 is working, it can drive the mounting plate 901 to rotate, and drive the sleeve to rotate, thereby driving the bolt to rotate, so as to tighten the bolt.
