Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power equipment, and in particular to a lightweight, portable, adaptive pole-climbing robot. Background Art

[0002] Pole-climbing robots are widely used as an important tool in power maintenance and repair work. These robots can automatically climb utility poles to transport and install electrical equipment. However, most of the existing pole-climbing robots are large and heavy, which limits their application in narrow spaces and complex terrains.

[0003] At present, a general pole climbing robot uses a spring tensioning mechanism to make the friction wheels distributed on both sides of the pole hold the pole tightly, and relies on the active rotation of the friction wheels and the friction between the friction wheels and the pole to generate a climbing motion.

[0004] However, in different application scenarios, due to the different distances between utility poles, pole-climbing robots cannot be used flexibly in narrow or special environments, which limits the application of pole-climbing robots. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the versatility and practicality of the robot, the present application provides a lightweight, portable, adaptive pole-climbing robot.

[0006] The present application provides a lightweight portable adaptive pole climbing robot, which adopts the following technical solution: A lightweight portable adaptive pole climbing robot, comprising: A connecting plate, the two ends of which are connected to two electric poles respectively and used for installing electrical equipment; There are two groups of mobile components, which are respectively located at the two ends of the connecting plate, and the two ends of the mobile components are respectively connected to the connecting plate and the electric pole, and the mobile components are used to drive the electrical equipment to move; The clamping assembly is provided with two groups, and the two groups of the clamping assemblies are respectively arranged on the two ends of the connecting plate, and the clamping assemblies are used to enhance the connection stability between the connecting plate and the electric pole.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving component enables the robot to adaptively move between utility poles at different spacings, thereby improving the robot's scope of application. The clamping component is in close contact with the utility pole and applies pressure, thereby greatly enhancing the connection stability between the connecting plate and the utility pole, ensuring the safety of the power equipment, and thereby improving the robot's versatility and practicality.

[0008] Optionally, two movable assemblies are provided, and the two movable assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the electric pole, and the movable assemblies include: A connecting block, with one end fixedly connected to the connecting plate; Two rotating plates, respectively hinged to both sides of the connecting block through torsion springs; Two rollers, arranged along the axis of the telegraph pole and respectively rotatably connected to the two rotating plates, and the rollers are in contact with the telegraph pole; Wherein, a driving member for driving the roller to rotate is provided on the roller.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the robot needs to move on telegraph poles of different specifications, the rotating plates will adjust the angles accordingly, so that the rollers always remain in contact with the surface of the telegraph pole, and the driving member drives the rollers to rotate, enabling the robot to actively move on the telegraph pole, thereby ensuring the stability and mobility of the robot.

[0010] Optionally, the clamping assembly includes: A fixing plate, fixedly arranged on the connecting plate; A clamping plate, rotatably connected to the fixing plate; A spring, with both ends fixedly connected to the fixing plate and the clamping plate respectively. In the initial state, the spring is in a stretched state; A clamping wheel, rotatably connected to the clamping plate and in contact with the telegraph pole.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the distance between the telegraph poles changes, the clamping plate can adaptively adjust the angle under the action of the spring to ensure that the clamping wheel always remains in close contact with the telegraph pole, so that the clamping assembly can always apply a certain pressure to the telegraph pole, thereby easily ensuring the connection stability between the connecting plate and the telegraph pole, and further making it difficult for the robot to slip during operation.

[0012] Optionally, an adjusting assembly is arranged between the driving member and the connecting plate. There are two groups of the adjusting assemblies, and the two groups of the adjusting assemblies are respectively located at both ends of the connecting plate. The adjusting assembly is used to adjust the clamping angle between the roller and the telegraph pole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the roller can be adaptively adjusted according to the diameter, shape or surface conditions of the telegraph pole. By changing the clamping angle, the roller can fit more closely to the telegraph pole, improving the stability and grip of the robot.

[0014] Optionally, the adjusting assembly includes: A connecting rod, with one end fixedly connected to the two driving members in one group, and the other end connected to the connecting plate through an adjusting telescopic rod; A bracket, with one end fixedly connected to the connecting plate and the other end hinged to the connecting rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod can swing and adjust within a certain range. At the same time, the bracket provides a stable support point for the connecting rod, enabling the driving member to stably transmit power to the roller while maintaining the connection stability with the connecting plate.

[0016] Optionally, the connecting plate is made of a rigid material.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rigid material has high strength and stiffness, can withstand large external forces and pressures, and can ensure that the robot has sufficient support force and stability during operation, preventing deformation or damage due to external forces.

[0018] Optionally, the driving member is a motor, and the motor is electrically connected to an external controller.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, precise control of the motor can be achieved, including speed, steering, start and stop, etc., enabling the robot to maintain stable driving force and speed during operation, thereby improving operation efficiency and accuracy.

[0020] Optionally, the roller and the clamping wheel are made of rubber material.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber material has good wear resistance. During long-term use, the roller and the clamping wheel can reduce the friction loss with the electric pole or other contact surfaces, thereby extending the service life. In addition, the surfaces of the rubber roller and the clamping wheel usually have a certain friction coefficient, which enables them to better fit the surface of the electric pole and provide stronger grip. This grip helps the robot maintain a stable posture on the electric pole, preventing slipping or tipping, thereby improving the safety and stability of the operation.

[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting the moving component, the robot can actively move on the electric pole, thereby ensuring the stability and mobility of the robot. 2. By setting the clamping component, the clamping component can always apply a certain pressure to the electric pole, thereby easily ensuring the connection stability between the connecting plate and the electric pole, and further preventing the robot from slipping during operation. 3. By setting the adjusting component, the driving member can stably transmit power to the roller while maintaining the connection stability with the connecting plate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The following further elaborates on the present application in conjunction with the attached Figure 1-2 drawings.

[0026] The embodiments of the present application disclose a lightweight and portable adaptive pole-climbing robot. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a lightweight and portable adaptive pole-climbing robot includes a connecting plate 1, a moving component 2, a clamping component 3, and an adjustment component 4. The two ends of the connecting plate 1 are respectively connected to two utility poles and are used for installing electrical equipment. There are two sets of moving components 2, and the two sets of moving components 2 are respectively located at the two ends of the connecting plate 1. The two ends of the moving component 2 are respectively connected to the connecting plate 1 and the utility pole, and the moving component 2 is used to drive the electrical equipment to move.

[0027] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , there are two sets of clamping components 3, and the two sets of clamping components 3 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the connecting plate 1. The clamping component 3 is used to enhance the connection stability between the connecting plate 1 and the utility pole. There are two sets of adjustment components 4, and the two sets of adjustment components 4 are respectively located at the two ends of the connecting plate 1. The adjustment component 4 is used to adjust the clamping angle between the moving component 2 and the utility pole.

[0028] During use, the moving component 2 drives the connecting plate 1 to move. During the movement, the clamping component 3 is in close contact with the utility pole and applies pressure, enhancing the connection stability between the connecting plate 1 and the utility pole. At the same time, as the distance between the utility poles changes, the adjustment component 4 adaptively adjusts the clamping angle between the moving component 2 and the connecting plate 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the power equipment and further improving the versatility and practicality of the robot.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , the connecting plate 1 is in the shape of a rectangular plate and is horizontally arranged. The two ends in the length direction of the connecting plate 1 are arc-shaped and are adapted to the utility pole. The connecting plate 1 is made of a rigid material.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, There are two moving components 2, and the two moving components 2 are respectively located on both sides of the electric pole. The moving component 2 includes a connecting block 21, two rotating plates 22 and two rollers 23. The connecting block 21 is in the shape of a circular rod, and one end is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting plate 1 in the length direction.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the two rotating plates 22 are respectively hinged to both sides of the connecting block 21 through torsion springs, and are arranged along the axis direction of the electric pole. The two rollers 23 are arranged along the axis direction of the electric pole, and are respectively rotatably connected to the two rotating plates 22. The roller 23 abuts against the electric pole.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a driving member 24 for driving the roller 23 to rotate is provided on the roller 23. The driving member 24 is a motor, the motor is electrically connected to an external controller, and the output shaft of the motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the roller 23.

[0033] During use, the external controller controls the motor to start. The output shaft of the motor drives the roller 23 to rotate. When moving on electric poles of different specifications, the rotating plate 22 adjusts the angle accordingly, so that the roller 23 always remains in contact with the surface of the electric pole, enabling the robot to actively move on the electric pole, thereby ensuring the stability and mobility of the robot.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the clamping assembly 3 includes a fixing plate 31, a clamping plate 32, a spring 33 and a clamping wheel 34. The fixing plate 31 is in the shape of a rectangular plate and is vertically arranged. The fixing plate 31 is fixedly arranged on the connecting plate 1. The clamping plate 32 is in the shape of a U-shaped plate and is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 31.

[0035] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , both ends of the spring 33 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 31 and the clamping plate 32 respectively. In the initial state, the spring 33 is in a stretched state. The clamping wheel 34 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 32 and abuts against the electric pole. Both the roller 23 and the clamping wheel 34 are made of rubber material.

[0036] During use, when the distance between the electric poles changes, the clamping plate 32 adaptively adjusts the angle under the action of the spring 33 to ensure that the clamping wheel 34 always remains in close contact with the electric pole, thereby easily ensuring the connection stability between the connecting plate 1 and the electric pole, and further preventing the robot from slipping during operation.

[0037] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the adjusting assembly 4 includes a connecting rod 41 and a bracket 42. One end of the connecting rod 41 is fixedly connected to two driving members 24 in a group, and the other end is connected to the connecting plate 1 through an adjusting telescopic rod. The fixed end of the adjusting telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 1, and the movable end is hinged to the connecting rod 41. One end of the bracket 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 1, and the other end is hinged to the connecting rod 41.

[0038] During use, during the movement process, as the distance between the electric poles changes, the connecting rod 41 swings and adjusts within a certain range. At the same time, the bracket 42 provides a stable support point for the connecting rod 41, enabling the driving member 24 to stably transmit power to the roller 23 while maintaining the connection stability with the connecting plate 1.

[0039] The implementation principle of a light portable adaptive pole-climbing robot in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the distance between the electric poles changes, the clamping plate 32 adaptively adjusts the angle under the action of the spring 33 to ensure that the clamping wheel 34 is always in close contact with the electric pole; The external controller controls the motor to start. The output shaft of the motor drives the roller 23 to rotate, and the rotating plate 22 correspondingly adjusts the angle so that the roller 23 always remains in contact with the surface of the electric pole, enabling the robot to actively move on the electric pole, thereby ensuring the stability and mobility of the robot; When the distance between the electric poles changes, the clamping plate 32 adaptively adjusts the angle under the action of the spring 33 to ensure that the clamping wheel 34 is always in close contact with the electric pole, ensuring the connection stability between the connecting plate 1 and the electric pole, thereby ensuring the safety of the power equipment and further improving the versatility and practicability of the robot.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
