Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable deicing, and in particular to a cable deicing and snow removing device. Background Art

[0002] High-voltage power lines may malfunction in winter due to accumulation of snow or frost. Especially in cold weather, water vapor or snow condenses on power lines to form a thick layer of ice. The use of rotary cutter discs to de-ice cannot guarantee the completeness of de-icing. In order to ensure the stable operation of the power system and prevent potential risks and damage caused by snow and frost, it is necessary to improve the existing de-icing technology.

[0003] Existing deicing technologies, such as the patent disclosed with application number 202411021201.X, complete the deicing of high-voltage lines through the cooperation of a deicing device, a moving device, a lifting and clamping device, a drone lifting device, a power supply module device, and a power storage and control module. Although the deicing work can be completed, the device needs to be manually lifted every time it works, which is a bit cumbersome. In terms of deicing, the invention uses a rotating cutter disc for deicing. When facing a thick ice layer, the deicing efficiency of the cutter disc is low. Summary of the invention

[0004] Therefore, the present invention solves the technical problem that the cable de-icing and snow removing devices in the prior art need to be manually hoisted every time they work, which is a bit cumbersome, and the de-icing efficiency of the cutter disc is low when facing a thick ice layer; the cable de-icing and snow removing device provided by the present invention adopts double de-icing and snow removing technology. The four-wing drone is fixed to the entire device to control its movement on different cables, avoiding manual hoisting back and forth, installing safety protection devices, improving the safety of the device operation, and can also feedback the de-icing effect through real-time monitoring technology.

[0005] The present invention provides a cable deicing and snow removing device, which specifically includes a drone component, an deicing and snow removing mechanism, a real-time monitoring module, a safety protection mechanism, and moving parts; the entire device is symmetrical in space, and the drone component includes a four-wing drone and a camera, which are installed above the entire device and connected to a mobile platform through a connecting block; ensuring that the device can fly.

[0006] Furthermore, the ice and snow removal mechanism is installed in front of the mobile platform, facing in the same direction as the moving direction of the entire device, the front mounting plate is installed in front of the mobile platform, the large rotating curved rod and its driving motor are installed in the middle of the front mounting plate, and the small rotating curved rod and its driving motor are installed on both sides of the front mounting plate. When the driving motor starts to work, the large rotating curved rod and the small rotating curved rod periodically hit the ice layer. On the back of the front mounting plate, a long snow removal brush and a short snow removal brush are installed on the front mounting plate through screws and nuts. When the device moves forward, the long and short snow removal brushes jointly clean the ice and snow on the cables.

[0007] Furthermore, the real-time monitoring module is composed of a measuring probe, a spring and a pressure sensor, which are installed on both sides of the middle of the mobile platform. By transmitting back the spring pressure data, the thickness of the ice layer on the cable is reflected and compared with the initial diameter of the cable, so as to monitor the de-icing effect in real time.

[0008] Furthermore, the safety protection mechanism is installed on both sides of the rear part of the mobile platform. When an emergency occurs or the entire device slides down along the line, the electric cylinder works quickly to drive the draw rod to lift up, thereby driving the safety clamp to clamp the cable to prevent the device from falling;

[0009] Furthermore, the moving parts are divided into active and driven parts. The driving motor is installed on one side of the rear part of the moving platform, which drives the active gear to work, thereby driving the driven gear to work, the active wheel starts to rotate, and the entire device starts to move forward. The driven wheel is connected to the shaft and the bearing and is installed at the front part of the moving platform. The rear mounting plate is installed at the rear of the moving platform. The auxiliary wheel is connected to the rear mounting plate through screws and nuts. The auxiliary wheel ensures the stability of the device operation.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present invention are:

[0011] 1. The cable deicing and snow removal device provided by the present invention improves the deicing and snow removal efficiency through double deicing and snow removal technology; controls the movement of the entire device on different cables through a drone, thus avoiding manual lifting back and forth; installs a safety protection device to improve the safety of the device operation; and real-time monitoring technology can provide feedback on the deicing effect.

[0012] 2. The present invention provides a cable de-icing and snow-removing device, which periodically strikes the ice layer through a large rotating curved rod and a small rotating curved rod. When the device moves forward, long and short snow-removing brushes jointly clean the ice and snow on the cable, thereby improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0013] 3. The present invention provides a cable de-icing and snow-removing device. When the device moves, the contact head is pressed against the cable by the pressure of the spring. When the contact head encounters ice accumulation, it is equivalent to the diameter of the cable becoming larger, further compressing the spring, and the pressure sensor can sense the pressure change of the spring. After signal processing, it can achieve the effect of real-time monitoring of de-icing. When encountering an emergency during work, the electric cylinder drives the pull-out rod to lift up, and the pull-out rod drives the lifting plate to lift up, and finally drives the safety clamp to contract, clamp the cable, achieve the fixing function, and prevent the device from falling.
