Description

The quality of overhead conductor compression is very important, which has a very important significance for ensuring the reliable operation of the line and ensuring safe power supply. The compression quality of high-tension clamps belongs to hidden engineering, and X-ray detection is mostly used to detect the compression quality, to determine whether there is a broken strand phenomenon, to check whether the image inside the compression pipe has a gap or uneven gray distribution, to determine whether the connection is good, and to find potential defects, damages or fault hazards in time to ensure the reliable and stable operation of the transmission line. The spacing between different numbers of split lines is different, and the self-walking unmanned detection equipment is not easy to match the detection needs of multiple spacing split lines.

At the same time, high-altitude work is greatly disturbed by wind, which may cause the detection equipment to fall during the detection process, even to fall, resulting in damage to the high-cost detection equipment, and on the other hand, may not be able to guarantee the clarity of the detection image.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11An embodiment of the present invention provides a variable-distance tension clamp X-ray detection device, comprising a body capable of being raised to a high altitude. The body is equipped with an X-ray detection assembly for detecting sub-conductors, and a variable-distance travel assembly 4 for carrying the body on the sub-conductors. The variable-distance travel assembly 4 includes at least four travel wheels 402, which are arranged in a square and rest on two adjacent sub-conductors. The variable-distance travel assembly 4 also includes an adjustment structure for adjusting the spacing between two adjacent travel wheels 402, each of which is located on a sub-conductor. In this embodiment, an unmanned ground-to-air detection method is used to remotely detect split wires in the tension clamp. A self-propelled structure with a variable wheelbase is used to meet the detection requirements for different numbers of split sub-conductors. Specifically, the device includes a body and multiple components, each of which 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-conductors, and a variable-distance walking component. In addition to being able to carry the body to walk on high-altitude sub-conductors, it also has an adjustment structure and a driving structure. The adjustment structure can adjust the spacing between the walking wheels so that it can be used on two sub-conductors with different spacings, which is flexible and changeable, and the driving structure can facilitate the sub-conductors to enter the walking wheels. When the body is just lifted to a high altitude, the carbon fiber box shell 2 contacts the sub-conductor first. Under the action of the carbon fiber box shell, the walking wheel does not contact the sub-conductor temporarily. At this time, the walking wheel is in a suspended state. The position of the walking wheel can be adjusted by adjusting the structure. After the position is adjusted, the driving structure is used to drive the walking wheel to rise and fall, thereby replacing the carbon fiber box shell 2 to contact the sub-conductor. The walking wheel 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-conductor. During 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: Figure 10 As shown, the X-ray imaging plate 34 can be thought of as the swing plate, with the lifting frame 31 acting as the swing rope. The X-ray imaging plate 34 and the X-ray machine 33 can swing synchronously, but the lifting frame 31 differs from the rope in that it is non-bendable. Furthermore, the lifting frame 31 includes a positioning assembly that can independently adjust the movement of the X-ray imaging plate 34 to ensure detection accuracy. The following embodiments will further detail the structure of each component.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1 to 11 The embodiment of the present application also provides a high-altitude strain clamp sub-conductor ray detection method, which is used for the device and comprises the following steps: S1, hoisting the body to a high-altitude strain clamp sub-conductor by using a UAV; S2, adjusting the position of the walking wheel of the variable-distance walking assembly so that the walking wheel is placed on the sub-conductor; S3, moving the variable-distance walking assembly with the X-ray detection assembly to a designated detection position; and S4, after adjusting the detection posture of the X-ray detection assembly, performing ray detection on the split conductor in the strain clamp by using the X-ray detection assembly.

[0041] Preferably, in the method, the detection can be realized by cooperating with a horizontal calibration assembly, a position adjusting assembly, a anti-falling assembly and the like.

[0042] The following is a detailed detection method:

[0043] Step one, when the ray detection device is used, first hoist the carbon fiber platform 1 to above the cable by using a large load-carrying UAV, so that the limiting groove 11 is clamped on the surface of the cable, then the third stepper motor 415 is started and driven under the cooperation of the belt pulley 416 and the belt, so that the driving rod 410 rotates, the left reciprocating screw rod 411 rotates through the left one-way bearing 412 in the process of rotation of the driving rod 410, the threaded sleeve 413 slides on the surface of the reciprocating screw rod 411 in the process of rotation of the reciprocating screw rod 411 through the threads on the surface of the reciprocating screw rod 411, so that the threaded sleeve 413 drives the roller frame 401, the walking wheel 402 and the limiting wheel 51 to displace, the positioning laser head 414 moves synchronously in the process of displacement of the walking wheel 402, the position of the cable is found by using the positioning laser head 414, after the positioning laser head 414 is aligned with the position of the cable, the third stepper motor 415 reverses to rotate, so that the right reciprocating screw rod 411 rotates, thereby the right walking wheel 402 is aligned, after the walking wheels 402 on both sides are aligned, the third stepper motor 415 stops running.

[0044] When the driving rod 410 drives the reciprocating wire rod 411 to rotate, under the effect of the one-way bearing 412, when the driving rod 410 rotates forward, the driving rod 410 drives the reciprocating wire rod 411 to rotate through the left one-way bearing 412, at this time, the inner and outer rings of the left one-way bearing 412 rotate simultaneously, the inner ring of the right one-way bearing 412 rotates with the driving rod 410, and the outer ring remains static with the reciprocating wire rod 411 on the right; when the driving rod 410 rotates reversely, the driving rod 410 drives the reciprocating wire rod 411 to rotate through the right one-way bearing 412, at this time, the inner and outer rings of the right one-way bearing 412 rotate simultaneously, the inner ring of the left one-way bearing 412 rotates with the driving rod 410, and the outer ring remains static with the reciprocating wire rod 411 on the left;

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

[0046] Step three, then, the balanced gravity sensor 68 senses the gravity of the carbon fiber platform 1 given to the top of the carbon fiber box shell 2 on both sides, and obtains the gravity difference on both sides, then the fourth stepper motor 64 is turned on through the motor controller, the fourth stepper motor 64 drives the transmission rod 61 to rotate through the two bevel gears 65, the transmission rod 61 drives the second gear 62 to rotate during rotation, the second gear 62 displaces on the surface of the rack 63 engaged therewith during rotation, thereby enabling the carbon fiber platform 1 to be displaced as a whole, so that the carbon fiber platform 1 slides on the top of the carbon fiber box shell 2, thereby enabling the carbon fiber platform 1 to drive the X-ray machine 33 to be located at the center position of the two walking wheels 402, and at the same time, to be the center position of the two cables, the variable moment algorithm used here is as follows:

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

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

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

[0050] If ΔS = 0, it means that both sides of the gravity balance;

[0051] Runtime: ΔS ≠ 0, S1 > S2, positive rotation; S2 > S1, reverse rotation, until ΔS = 0, stop running;

[0052] Step four, then, the second step motor 409 is started and the driving pin 404 is rotated, the driving pin 404 drives the walking wheel 402 to walk on the surface of the cable, after the walking wheel 402 reaches the strain clamp 8, because the strain clamp 8 has a certain slope at the connection with the cable, the walking wheel 402 climbs to the surface of the strain clamp 8 by the rubber anti-skid strip 403 acting on the end of the strain clamp 8 in the process of rotation, until the carbon fiber platform 1 reaches the specified detection position, the electric telescopic rod 57 is started and pushes the connecting plate 56 downward to rotate, so that the five-angle rotating rod 55 rotates and drives the five-angle rotating cylinder 53 to rotate in the inner cavity of the fixed tube 54, at the same time, the supporting rod 52 drives the limiting wheel 51 to rotate, so that the limiting wheel 51 extrudes the bottom of the cable obliquely upward, thereby limiting and locking the detection position of the carbon fiber platform 1;

[0053] Step five, 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 ray imaging position, then uses the X-ray machine 33 and the X-ray imaging plate 34 to detect the cable inside the strain clamp 8.

[0054] In summary: the variable pitch strain clamp sub-conductor ray detection device and method, through the setting of the variable pitch walking assembly 4, the ray detection device is adapted to different pitch cable detection, and the carbon fiber box shell 2 has the ability to walk on the line, through the cooperation of the carbon fiber box shell 2 and the horizontal calibration assembly 6, the center of gravity of the ray detection device is located between the two cables, at the same time, through the setting of the anti-falling assembly 5, the ray detection device is stable after walking and reaching the position, finally, through the setting of the X-ray detection assembly 3, the cable is detected, which can achieve the purpose of adapting to different cable pitch detection, automatic center of gravity calibration and stable operation.
