Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-altitude tension clamp ray detection, and in particular to a variable-distance tension clamp X-ray detection device and method. Background Art

[0002] The conductor and ground wire of the overhead transmission line are generally connected by crimping fittings such as tension clamps and joint pipes, and the connection method is generally crimping. During the operation of the overhead transmission line, the crimping type tension clamp must not only bear the conductive function of the conductor but also bear the full tension of the conductor. The quality of the crimping of the overhead conductor is very important, which is of great significance to ensure the reliable operation of the line and ensure safe power supply. The crimping quality of the tension clamp is a hidden project, and most of them use X-rays to detect the crimping quality, determine whether there is a broken strand phenomenon, and check whether there are gaps or uneven grayscale distribution in the image inside the crimping tube to determine whether the connection is good, so as to promptly discover potential defects, damage or hidden faults, and ensure the reliable and stable operation of the transmission line. There are differences in the spacing between different numbers of split lines, and self-propelled unmanned detection equipment is not easy to match the detection requirements of split lines with various spacings.

However, due to the different forces on the sub-conductors and the differences in the spacing between different numbers of split wires, the spacing between the sub-conductors varies greatly, resulting in a mismatch between the walking structure and the wheel-track. Different line spacings require the inspection equipment to have walking wheels of adaptable sizes to meet the inspection needs. At the same time, high-altitude operations are greatly disturbed by wind. During the inspection process, the equipment may cause the inspection equipment to fall or even fall, causing damage to the expensive inspection equipment. On the other hand, the clarity of the inspection image may not be guaranteed. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 11The embodiment of the present invention provides a variable-distance tension clamp X-ray detection device, including a machine body that can be raised to a high altitude, the machine body is provided with an X-ray detection component for detecting sub-conductors and a variable-distance walking component 4 for carrying the machine body to walk on the sub-conductors, the variable-distance walking component 4 includes at least four walking wheels 402, the four walking wheels 402 are arranged in a square and fall on two adjacent sub-conductors, the variable-distance walking component 4 also includes an adjustment structure for adjusting the distance between two adjacent walking wheels 402, the two adjacent walking wheels 402 are respectively located on two sub-conductors. In this embodiment, the ground-to-air unmanned detection method is adopted to remotely detect the split wires in the tension clamp, and the self-propelled structure with a variable wheelbase is adopted to meet the detection requirements of different numbers of split sub-conductors. Specifically, the device includes a body and multiple components, each of which specifically includes an X-ray detection component, which includes an X-ray machine 33 and an X-ray imaging plate 34, which can use X-rays to detect sub-wires, and a variable-distance walking component, which, in addition to being able to carry the body to walk on the high-altitude sub-wires, also has an adjustment structure and a driving structure, wherein the adjustment structure can adjust the spacing between the walking wheels so that it can be used on two sub-wires with different spacings, which is flexible and changeable, and the driving structure can facilitate the sub-wires to enter the walking wheels. When the body is just lifted to a high altitude, the carbon fiber box shell 2 contacts the sub-wire first. Under the action of the carbon fiber box shell, the walking wheels do not contact the sub-wires temporarily. At this time, the walking wheels are in a suspended state, and the position of the walking wheels can be adjusted by adjusting the structure. After the position is adjusted, the driving structure is used to drive the walking wheels to rise and fall, thereby replacing the carbon fiber box shell 2 to contact the sub-wires. The walking wheels can extend from the carbon fiber box shell 2 to the outside of the carbon fiber box shell 2, and the carbon fiber box shell 2 will be lifted up and no longer contact the sub-wires. In the process of adjusting the position of the walking wheel, the position can be determined by positioning the laser head 414 to ensure that the sub-wire is found accurately. In addition to the above components, there is also a horizontal calibration component 6, which is used to adjust the position of the X-ray detection component, and an anti-slip component 5, which can prevent the sub-wire from slipping out of the walking wheel 402. In addition, there is a calibration component, which can adjust the detection posture of the X-ray detection component, which is more conducive to the detection of the sub-wire. Specifically, the adjustment of the posture can be divided into two parts, one part is to drive the X-ray detection component to rise and fall, and the other part is to drive the X-ray detection component to swing. The direction of the swing is as follows Fig.10 As shown, the X-ray imaging plate 34 can be regarded as the swing plate by rotating with the direction of the extension of the sub-conductor as the rotation axis, and the lifting frame 31 is like the rope of the swing. The X-ray imaging plate 34 and the X-ray machine 33 can swing synchronously, but the difference between the lifting frame 31 and the rope is that the lifting frame 31 cannot be bent. In addition, there is a positioning component that can adjust the movement of the X-ray imaging plate 34 separately, in order to ensure the accuracy of the detection. The following embodiments will specifically refine the structure of each component.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 11 , an embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for detecting the X-ray of the conductor of a high-altitude tension wire clamp, which is used for the above-mentioned device, and includes the following steps: S1, using a drone to lift the body to the conductor of the high-altitude tension wire clamp; S2, adjusting the position of the walking wheel of the variable pitch walking assembly to place the walking wheel on the sub-conductor; S3, the variable pitch walking assembly moves the X-ray detection assembly to a designated detection position; S4, after adjusting the detection posture of the X-ray detection assembly, the X-ray detection assembly is used to perform X-ray detection on the split wire in the tension wire clamp.

[0041] Preferably, in this method, detection can also be achieved through the cooperation of a horizontal calibration component, a positioning component, an anti-slip component, etc.

[0042] The following is the detailed detection method:

[0043] Step 1: When the ray detection device is in use, the carbon fiber platform 1 is first lifted to the top of the cable by a large load-carrying drone, so that the limiting groove 11 is engaged with the surface of the cable. Then, the third stepper motor 415 is turned on and the driving rod 410 is driven to rotate with the cooperation of the pulley 416 and the belt. During the rotation of the driving rod 410, the reciprocating screw rod 411 on the left is driven to rotate through the left one-way bearing 412. During the rotation of the reciprocating screw rod 411, the threaded sleeve 413 is driven to slide on the surface of the reciprocating screw rod 411 through its surface thread. , so that the threaded sleeve 413 drives the roller frame 401, the running wheel 402 and the limiting wheel 51 to move, and in the process of the running wheel 402 moving, drives the positioning laser head 414 to move synchronously, and finds the cable position through the positioning laser head 414. After the positioning laser head 414 and the cable position are aligned and calibrated, the third stepper motor 415 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the reciprocating screw rod 411 on the right side to rotate, so that the running wheel 402 on the right side can be aligned and calibrated. After the running wheels 402 on both sides are aligned and calibrated, the third stepper motor 415 stops running;

[0044] When the driving rod 410 drives the reciprocating screw rod 411 to rotate, due to the one-way locking effect of the one-way bearing 412, when the driving rod 410 rotates in the forward direction, the driving rod 410 drives the reciprocating screw rod 411 to rotate through the left one-way bearing 412, at this time, the inner and outer rings of the one-way bearing 412 on the left rotate at the same time, and the inner ring of the one-way bearing 412 on the right rotates along with the driving rod 410, and its outer ring and the reciprocating screw rod 411 on the right remain stationary. When the driving rod 410 rotates in the reverse direction, the driving rod 410 drives the reciprocating screw rod 411 to rotate through the right one-way bearing 412, at this time, the inner and outer rings of the one-way bearing 412 on the right rotate at the same time, and the inner ring of the one-way bearing 412 on the left rotates along with the driving rod 410, and its outer ring and the reciprocating screw rod 411 on the left remain stationary;

[0045] Step 2, at this time, the four walking wheels 402 are all aligned and calibrated, and the limiting wheel 51 moves accordingly, so that the walking wheels 402 and the limiting wheel 51 are respectively located above and below the cable, and then the first stepper motor 408 is turned on and drives the first gear 406 on the left side to rotate. During the rotation of the first gear 406, the arc-shaped slide plate 405 is driven to rotate through the teeth 407 meshing therewith, and the arc-shaped slide plate 405 drives the driving pin 404 to slide in the inner cavity of the teeth 407 during the rotation, so that the driving pin 404 can simultaneously drive the roller frame 401 to rotate, and the roller frame 401 drives the walking wheel 402 to rotate downward during the rotation, so that the bottom of the walking wheel 402 is lower than the inner wall of the limiting groove 11, and the walking wheel 402 is sleeved on the surface of the cable. Until the roller frame 401 rotates into place, the walking wheel 402 uses the cable as a support platform to lift the carbon fiber platform 1 and the carbon fiber box shell 2 upward, so that the inner wall of the limiting groove 11 is out of contact with the cable surface;

[0046] Step 3, then, the carbon fiber platform 1 is sensed by the balanced gravity sensor 68 to give the gravity on both sides of the top of the carbon fiber box shell 2, and the gravity difference on both sides is obtained, and then the fourth stepper motor 64 is turned on by the motor controller, and the fourth stepper motor 64 drives the transmission rod 61 to rotate through the two bevel gears 65, and the transmission rod 61 drives the second gear 62 to rotate during the rotation process, and the second gear 62 is displaced on the surface of the gear rail 63 meshing with it during the rotation process, so that the carbon fiber platform 1 is displaced as a whole, so that the carbon fiber platform 1 slides on the top of the carbon fiber box shell 2, and then the carbon fiber platform 1 can drive the X-ray machine 33 to the center position of the two walking wheels 402, which is also the center position of the two cables. The torque conversion algorithm used here is as follows:

[0047] Gravity difference algorithm: calculate the difference between the signals on both sides ΔS = S1-S2;

[0048] If ΔS>0, it means that the gravity on the left side is greater than that on the right side;

[0049] If ΔS < 0, it means that the gravity on the right side is greater than that on the right side;

[0050] If ΔS = 0, it means that the gravity on both sides is balanced;

[0051] During operation: ΔS≠0, when S1>S2, it rotates forward; when S2>S1, it rotates reversely until ΔS=0, then it stops;

[0052] Step 4, then, the second stepper motor 409 is turned on and drives the driving pin 404 to rotate, and the driving pin 404 drives the walking wheel 402 to walk on the surface of the cable. After the walking wheel 402 reaches the tension clamp 8, since the connection between the tension clamp 8 and the cable has a certain slope, the walking wheel 402 acts on the end of the tension clamp 8 through the rubber anti-slip strip 403 during the rotation process, so that the walking wheel 402 can climb to the surface of the tension clamp 8. Until the carbon fiber platform 1 reaches the designated detection position, the electric telescopic rod 57 is turned on and pushes the connecting plate 56 downward to rotate, so that the pentagonal rotating rod 55 rotates and drives the pentagonal rotating cylinder 53 to rotate in the inner cavity of the fixed tube 54. At the same time, the support rod 52 drives the limiting wheel 51 to rotate, so that the limiting wheel 51 squeezes the bottom of the cable obliquely upward, thereby limiting and locking the detection position of the carbon fiber platform 1;

[0053] Step 5. Finally, the lifting frame 31 drives the X-ray machine 33 and the X-ray imaging plate 34 to the specified detection position through the rotating frame 32, and rotates the X-ray machine 33 and the X-ray imaging plate 34 through the servo motor 35 to determine the X-ray imaging position. Then, the X-ray machine 33 and the X-ray imaging plate 34 are used in coordination to perform X-ray imaging detection on the cables inside the tension clamp 8.

[0054] To sum up: the variable-distance tension clamp sub-conductor X-ray detection device and method, through the setting of the variable-distance walking component 4, makes the X-ray detection device adapt to the detection of cables with different spacings, and enables the carbon fiber box shell 2 to have the ability to walk on the line. Through the coordinated use of the carbon fiber box shell 2 and the horizontal calibration component 6, the center of gravity of the X-ray detection device is located between the two cables. At the same time, through the setting of the anti-slip component 5, the X-ray detection device is stabilized after walking and in place. Finally, through the setting of the X-ray detection component 3, the cables are inspected, which can achieve the purpose of adapting to different cable spacing detection, automatic calibration of the center of gravity and stable and reliable operation.
