Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power supply line inspection, and in particular to a power supply line ice and snow removal robot. Background Art

[0002] In snowy weather, ice and snow accumulation on power supply lines often cause accidents such as line tripping, line breakage, pole fall, insulator flashover and communication interruption. Large amounts of ice on the lines are the main cause of these accidents, so power maintenance personnel are required to remove ice and snow from the cables in a timely manner.

[0003] Due to the lack of safety and efficiency in manual cable deicing operations, it has gradually been replaced by professional automated deicing equipment. However, the existing deicing equipment has low deicing efficiency, is not stable enough when moving along the cables, and lacks reliability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a power supply line ice and snow removal robot in response to the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, which can remove ice and snow while walking stably along the cables with high efficiency and strong reliability.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a power line snow and ice removal robot, comprising an arched mounting frame; a lifting ring is fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame; an arched wire rack is fixed to the upper inner side of the mounting frame; a clamping walking mechanism and a knocking snow and ice removal mechanism are provided on the outside of the wire rack;

[0006] The clamping walking mechanism includes an expander fixed to opposite sides of the mounting frame; the output end of the expander is horizontally arranged and connected to a wheel seat; a connecting shaft is connected to the wheel seat for vertical rotation; a guide wheel for contacting with the cable is sleeved and fixed on the connecting shaft; the guide wheel is a U-shaped groove wheel structure; one of the two wheel seats is connected to a walking motor; the output end of the walking motor is coaxially fixed to the corresponding connecting shaft;

[0007] The knocking and snow-removing mechanism includes a power motor fixed on the upper end of the mounting frame; a power shaft is coaxially fixed to the output end of the power motor along the channel direction of the mounting frame; and a plurality of force-applying rubber strips for knocking cables are evenly connected to the power shaft along the circumference.

[0008] To further optimize this technical solution, a pressure rod for bouncing the cable is arranged horizontally on the inner side of the mounting frame of the power supply line snow and ice removal robot; the two ends of the pressure rod are respectively connected to the two sides of the mounting frame through buffer springs; a working motor is fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame; and a cam for pushing the pressure rod downward is fixed to the output end of the working motor.

[0009] To further optimize this technical solution, the two telescopic devices of the power supply line snow and ice removal robot are respectively located at the two ends of the mounting frame.

[0010] To further optimize this technical solution, a roller is rotatably connected to the pressure rod of the power supply line snow and ice removal robot; the axes of the roller and the cam are parallel and corresponding; and the roller and the cam are in rolling contact.

[0011] To further optimize this technical solution, the output end of the telescopic device of the power supply line ice and snow clearing robot is connected to the wheel seat through a pressure sensor.

[0012] To further optimize this technical solution, a wireless communication module is fixed on the mounting frame of the power supply line snow and ice removal robot; the wireless communication module is connected to the control circuit of the telescopic device, the travel motor, the power motor, and the working motor.

[0013] To further optimize this technical solution, a battery for supplying power to the control circuit is fixed on the mounting frame of the power supply line ice and snow removal robot.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The arched mounting frame, with its lower opening, facilitates placement of the device on the cable, while also providing a more balanced weight distribution and greater stability when traveling over the cable. The cable support can be placed over the cable, allowing for more accurate positioning of the device relative to the cable, ensuring reliable operation of the clamping mechanism and the knocking mechanism for snow and ice removal.

[0016] Through the operation of the retractors on both sides, the two guide wheels can be clamped on both sides of the cable, and the travel motor drives one of the guide wheels, so that the device can move smoothly on the cable.

[0017] The power motor can drive the power shaft to rotate, thereby continuously knocking the cable through the force-applying rubber strip, thereby achieving the effect of knocking and clearing ice and snow while the device is moving. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the power line snow and ice removal robot includes an arched mounting frame 1; a lifting ring 2 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame 1; an arched wire rack 3 is fixed to the upper inner side of the mounting frame 1; and a clamping walking mechanism and a knocking snow and ice removal mechanism are provided on the outside of the wire rack 3;

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping travel mechanism includes a telescoping device 4 fixed to opposite sides of the mounting frame 1; the output end of the telescoping device 4 is horizontally arranged and connected to a wheel seat 5; a connecting shaft 6 is connected to the wheel seat 5 for vertical rotation; a guide wheel 7 for contacting with the cable is sleeved and fixed on the connecting shaft 6; the guide wheel 7 is a U-shaped groove wheel structure; one of the two wheel seats 5 is connected to a travel motor 8; the output end of the travel motor 8 is coaxially fixed to the corresponding connecting shaft 6;

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the knocking ice and snow removal mechanism includes a power motor 9 fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame 1; the output end of the power motor 9 is coaxially fixed with a power shaft 10 along the channel direction of the mounting frame 1; a plurality of force-applying rubber strips 11 for knocking cables are evenly connected along the circumference of the power shaft 10.

[0025] The robot can be hoisted onto a high cable using a lifting ring 2, using a drone-like suspension method. The cable rack 3 is then hung on the cable to achieve preliminary positioning of the cable. The guide wheels 7 are then controlled by the retractors 4 to smoothly contact the cable. The two guide wheels 7 clamp the cable, and the travel motor 8 is then activated. This controls the rotation of one guide wheel 7, driving the entire robot along the cable.

[0026] While the robot moves along the cable, the power motor 9 works and the force-applying rubber strip 11 continuously strikes the cable, thereby breaking up and knocking off the ice and snow adhering to the cable. When the robot moves, the cable is continuously cleared of ice and snow, ensuring efficiency.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, a pressure rod 12 for bouncing the cable is arranged horizontally on the inner side of the mounting frame 1; the two ends of the pressure rod 12 are respectively connected to the two sides of the mounting frame 1 through buffer springs 13; a working motor 14 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame 1; the output end of the working motor 14 is socketed and fixed with a cam 15 for pushing the pressure rod 12 downward.

[0028] The cam 15 is driven to rotate by the working motor 14, and the cam 15 can push the pressure rod 12 downward cyclically. The pressure plate can continuously bounce with the elastic force of the buffer spring 13, continuously colliding and hitting the cable, further improving the effect of clearing ice and snow on the cable.

[0029] like Figure 1-2 As shown, two expansion joints 4 are located at either end of the mounting frame 1. The staggered arrangement of the expansion joints 4 provides a higher tolerance for cable clamping. Furthermore, when the cable vibrates during snow and ice removal, restraining the cable at each end of the mounting frame 1 effectively prevents one end of the mounting frame 1 from becoming excessively disengaged from the cable, making it difficult to reset itself and affecting subsequent snow and ice removal.

[0030] The pressure bar 12 is rotatably connected to a roller 16. The roller 16 and the cam 15 are axially parallel and corresponding. The roller 16 and the cam 15 are in rolling contact. When the cam 15 rotates to apply pressure to the pressure bar 12, the corresponding rotation of the roller 16 effectively reduces friction and improves the smoothness of the movement.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the output end of the retractor 4 is connected to the wheel seat 5 via a pressure sensor 17. The pressure sensor 17 can monitor the pressure when the guide wheel 7 abuts the cable, and through the monitored data, ensure that the guide wheel 7 can clamp the cable stably.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a wireless communication module 18 is fixed to the mounting frame 1; the wireless communication module 18 is connected to the control circuits of the expansion joint 4, the travel motor 8, the power motor 9, and the working motor 14. The wireless communication module 18 can remotely transmit the operating data of each component, facilitating remote control and monitoring by power maintenance personnel.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a battery 19 for supplying power to the control circuit is fixed on the mounting frame 1. The battery 19 supplies power to various components in the control circuit, making it convenient for the remote high-altitude operation of the device.

[0034] It will be understood that the present invention is described by way of some embodiments, and it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are intended to be protected by the present invention.
