Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power transmission line deicing, and in particular to a power transmission line self-adaptive deicing device, method and deicing robot. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a low-temperature and high-humidity natural environment, a power transmission line is easily affected by weather conditions such as rain, fog and snow, causing ice crystals to rapidly accumulate on the surface of the conductor, forming a thick ice layer. These ice layers significantly increase the weight of the power transmission line, causing the sag of the conductor to increase, which may cause the conductor to break, the tower to overturn or even collapse, and other serious accidents, seriously threatening the safe and stable operation of the power system.
[0003] Existing power transmission line deicing technologies mostly rely on mechanical deicing devices or deicing robots to physically break the ice. A more typical approach is to forcibly break the ice layer using a metal deicing blade or a vibration mechanism. Although this approach has certain efficiency in dealing with thick ice, it also has the following significant problems:
[0004] (1) Poor safety: the metal deicing blade is prone to accidentally damaging the power transmission line during ice removal, which may cause electrical breakdown, surface damage and other potential hazards, especially in high-voltage power transmission scenarios;
[0005] (2) Poor adaptability: existing deicing blades are mostly designed for thick ice and are difficult to effectively handle thin ice or initial ice layers, resulting in limited deicing effect;
[0006] (3) Poor maintainability: metal blades are prone to rusting during long-term operation or storage, affecting subsequent use and increasing maintenance costs;
[0007] (4) Unable to adjust in real time: traditional deicing structures are mostly rigid structures and lack the ability to adapt to different ice layer thicknesses, power transmission line diameters or working conditions, making it impossible to achieve flexible and efficient deicing.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flexible, adaptable and adjustable power transmission line deicing device to address the technical shortcomings of existing deicing technologies in terms of safety, versatility and maintainability, and to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the power transmission system.

[0053] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Identical parts are denoted by identical reference numerals in the following description. It should be noted that the words "front", "back", "left", "right", "upper" and "lower" used in the following description refer to the directions in the drawings, and the words "bottom surface" and "top surface", "inner" and "outer" refer to the directions towards or away from the geometric center of a particular part.
[0054] Embodiment 1, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , is the first embodiment of the present application, which provides a power transmission line adaptive deicing device, which can realize adaptive dynamic adjustment of deicing state according to different line diameters and ice thickness, realize precise and efficient deicing, comprising:
[0055] The outer cavity wall 1, the inner cavity wall 2, and the inflation chamber 3 formed by the outer cavity wall 1 and the inner cavity wall 2;
[0056] The inner cavity wall 2 is a flexible body, and the inner side surface thereof away from the outer cavity wall 1 is provided with a spiral deicing part 201 and a heating part 202;
[0057] The cross-sectional shape of the inflation chamber 3 is semicircular, circular or sector-shaped, and is configured to change the distance between the inner cavity wall 2 and the surface of the power transmission line 4 by adjusting the inflation amount.
[0058] In specific applications, the cross-sectional shape of the inflation chamber 3 is selected according to the installation mode and icing state of the power transmission line 4.
[0059] Preferably, when the cross-section of the inflation chamber 3 is circular, the outer cavity wall 1 and the inner cavity wall 2 are both flexible materials, such as silicone, TPU thermoplastic elastomer or high molecular synthetic rubber material, which have certain deformation ability; and the inflation chamber 3 is provided with a through-type open structure for accommodating the power transmission line 4, which facilitates the insertion of the power transmission line 4 from the through-type open structure to realize 360° full wrapping deicing.
[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the spiral deicing part 201 includes alternating spiral protruding structures and spiral groove structures for disturbing and peeling off the ice layer during the axial movement of the device; the protruding structure is made of flexible rubber material (such as thermoplastic polyurethane TPU or silica gel), which has good deformation ability and can automatically adapt to the surface morphology of the power transmission line 4 under different fitting pressures; the heating part 202 is embedded in the spiral protruding structure and is an electric heating wire structure that generates heat for ice melting through power supply. The heating part 202 is made of multiple thin nickel-chromium wires or carbon fiber heat-conducting wires, which are coiled and arranged as a whole inside the flexible structure, and local heating and softening of the ice layer in contact are achieved by controlling the current.
[0061] Installation method: the power transmission line self-adaptive deicing device is directly sleeved outside the power transmission line 4 by using the through opening in the middle of the chamber. Since the chamber wall material is soft, the entire circular chamber can reset after slight expansion and deformation, realizing the rapid covering of the power transmission line 4.
[0062] Adaptive adjustment: the inflatable chamber 3 is connected with an inflation port and an exhaust port, and the inflation port and the exhaust port are respectively connected with an inflation device and a suction device. The inflation device is connected to the inflation port to inflate the chamber, and the degree of the inner chamber wall 2 bulging inward is adjusted, so as to control the contact pressure and distance between the inner chamber wall 2 and the surface of the power transmission line 4, so that the device can adapt to power transmission lines 4 of different diameters and ice layers of different thicknesses.
[0063] Working principle of embodiment 1:
[0064] The self-adaptive deicing device is fixed on the power transmission line 4 deicing robot through clamping structures, guide rail mechanisms or magnetic attraction devices, etc. The robot moves on the wire to drive the device to move forward. The controller sets the initial target fitting distance according to the thickness of the ice layer, controls the air pump to inflate the inflatable chamber 3, and makes the inner chamber wall 2 bulge inward to approach the power transmission line 4. The spiral deicing part 201 on the inner chamber wall 2 approaches or lightly presses the ice layer, and the ice layer is peeled off by the mechanical disturbance of the spiral structure. At the same time, the heating part 202 is powered on to work, and the ice layer at the contact point is softened or melted through heat conduction, forming a synergistic effect of mechanical ice breaking and hot melting deicing. The ice slag is discharged through the opening or falls naturally due to gravity. The device structure in this embodiment is flexible, light and easy to quickly install and disassemble, and is very suitable for temporary or large-scale inspection operations; the circular full-wrapping design can simultaneously remove the ice around the wire, and is particularly suitable for scenarios where the ice is uniformly distributed on the surface of the cylindrical power transmission line 4.
[0065] Through the cooperation of the flexible chamber wall and the air pressure adjustment, the problem of surface damage caused by the direct contact of the deicing knife with the metal wire can be avoided; it is suitable for preventive deicing of thin ice layer (ice layer thickness ≤10mm) and moderate ice layer, and has good engineering adaptability; it can be expanded and integrated into the existing power transmission line 4 route inspection robot or deicing platform system, and has intelligent transformation potential.
[0066] Preferably, when multiple adjacent air-filled chambers 3 abut to form a composite structure with a semicircular or sector cross-section, the outer cavity wall 1 is made of a hard material, such as engineering plastic, carbon fiber plate, or lightweight aluminum alloy plate, to support and define the shape and stability of the device; the inner cavity wall 2 is made of a flexible material, such as rubber or silicone, which has a deformable fitting property, and the composite structure is configured to wrap the upper surface of the power transmission line 4.
[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment, the composite structure with a semicircular or sector cross-section is designed to adapt to the deicing device wrapping only the upper surface of the power transmission line 4, which is suitable for typical cases where ice layers preferentially adhere to the upper part of the conductor under weather conditions such as glaze and rime; compared to a circular full-enclosure structure, this embodiment only needs to fit and deice the upper half, which is highly operable and adaptable in the field, suitable for wide-range movement and low-power operation; after deicing the upper surface, the lower ice layer loses structural support and can naturally fall off under gravity without the need for active removal, saving energy and being highly efficient.
[0068] This embodiment is particularly suitable for light or medium ice areas where ice is mainly on the top, and can quickly intervene for preventive removal at the initial stage of ice formation on the power transmission line 4; due to its simple structure and non-coating of the lower surface, it is suitable for long-distance inspection operations with robots, effectively reducing energy consumption and frictional resistance; the hard outer cavity wall 1 provides higher deicing stability and is suitable for harsh overhead power transmission line 4 environments with strong wind disturbances.
[0069] Preferably, the outer surface of the spiral protruding structure is provided with a hard blade made of hard plastic or metal, such as high-strength engineering plastic (e.g., PA66+GF30) or stainless steel sheet, which is fixed by in-mold insert injection molding or surface adhesion, and the hard blade extends continuously in the spiral direction.
[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hard blade is arc-shaped or corrugated, partially embedded in the flexible material, retaining a certain amount of elastic allowance, which can enhance the mechanical peeling effect and reduce the risk of damage to the conductor body.
[0071] In moderate or severe icing scenarios (e.g., ice layer thickness ≥ 10 mm):
[0072] The heating wire embedded structure provides continuous heat energy, which can soften the ice layer before deicing and reduce the structural strength;
[0073] The flexible protruding structure provides controllable fitting and cushioning to prevent concentrated pressure on the power transmission line 4;
[0074] The hard blade functions as a cutting / peeling tool, which can effectively enhance the ice-breaking efficiency, especially in areas with hard or strongly adhered ice layers, reducing the problem of incomplete deicing and sliding.
[0075] Embodiment 2, refer to Figure 3 For the second embodiment of the present application, unlike the previous embodiment, the inner cavity wall 2 is made of hard material (such as engineering plastic, carbon fiber composite material, etc.) to provide stable support shape and overall rigidity, ensuring that the deicing blade has strong structural stability and force transmission capability. The outer cavity wall 1 is made of flexible material (such as silicone, TPU, etc.), which has good elasticity and deformation ability, and can be inflated or contracted under air pressure adjustment, thereby adjusting its contact state with the ice layer surface. Referring to the figure, a plurality of deicing blade devices are arranged circumferentially, forming a circular, semicircular or fan-shaped structure combination, which can be laid out according to the deicing needs of different wire coverage.
[0076] Working principle of embodiment 2:
[0077] The deicing blade structure in embodiment 1 needs to be sleeved on the surface of the power transmission line 4, so it is only suitable for light ice areas with thin ice thickness (such as ≤10mm), or cases where the ice layer thickness is uniform and the wire form is regular.
[0078] The structural design of this embodiment can achieve external pressure deicing by sticking, without completely covering the wire, so it is more suitable for the following cases:
[0079] 1. The ice layer thickness is greater than the second threshold value (for example, ≥20mm), which is common in heavy ice areas;
[0080] 2. The ice layer thickness is uneven or partially inflated, which may cause difficulties in covering or uneven sticking;
[0081] 3. The space near the wire is limited and does not have complete sleeve conditions.
[0082] Both the deicing blades of this embodiment and embodiment 1 can be integrated on the same power transmission line 4 deicing robot, forming a dual-mode deicing system:
[0083] Configuration mode: The two deicing blades are fixed at different positions of the robot, and can be independently expanded / contracted or rotated to switch;
[0084] Selection logic: The control system selects the deicing mode according to the ice layer thickness value predicted by the image recognition module; when the ice layer thickness value is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the light covering deicing blade of embodiment 1 is started; when the ice layer thickness value is greater than the second threshold value, switch to the sticking thick ice deicing blade of this embodiment, and the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value; for the intermediate region where the ice layer thickness value is between the first threshold value and the second threshold value, it can be processed by weighting strategy or composite operation, or the embodiment is preferred to ensure the crossing performance.
[0085] The structure direction reverse design (hard inside and soft outside) of the embodiment effectively solves the adhesion problem of the traditional sleeve type deicing structure in the thick ice and special-shaped ice layer environment; meanwhile, the modular layout supports multi-angle distributed deicing and is more adaptable; in addition, the multi-mode linkage intelligent scheduling mechanism improves the working efficiency and versatility of the robot in different ice conditions; meanwhile, the original spiral structure heating cooperative deicing mechanism is retained to ensure the deicing quality.
[0086] Embodiment 3, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The third embodiment of the present application is different from the previous embodiment, which provides a power transmission line adaptive deicing method applied to the power transmission line adaptive deicing device described above, comprising:
[0087] Step S1, by adjusting the inflation amount of the inflation chamber 3, the distance between the inner cavity wall 2 and the surface of the power transmission line 4 or the surface of the ice layer is controlled, and the distance adjustment is based on the currently identified ice layer thickness to set the initial distance;
[0088] Step S2, based on the mechanical peeling of the spiral deicing part 201 and the heating ice melting of the heating part 202, the thin ice layer on the surface of the power transmission line 4 is cooperatively deiced, and the deicing device moves at a constant speed along the wire under the driving of the robot, realizing continuous and synchronous deicing.
[0089] Working principle of embodiment 3:

[0100] The deicing force in the deicing process is obtained by the force sensor on the spiral deicing part;
[0101] The system records the actual operating power of the heating part and the deicing force as real-time feedback parameters.
[0102] In step S13, the initial distance is dynamically corrected according to the power deviation value and the force deviation value to obtain the working distance. In the calculation process of the working distance, the controller updates once every deicing distance, and the fit state is fine-tuned by adjusting the air pressure to realize dynamic adaptive control.
[0103] The calculation formula of the working distance is configured as:
