[0062] By making adjacent track units have gaps and be connected by flexible connecting members, the curvature and concave-convex of the surface of the pole can be adaptively fitted, local stress concentration caused by irregular pole body can be avoided, and contact stability can be enhanced. Meanwhile, since the supporting cylinder is cylindrical, making adjacent track units have gaps and be connected by flexible connecting members can make the track units in the first track 3 and the second track 4 inside the supporting cylinder gather together, and the track units in the first track 3 and the second track 4 outside the supporting cylinder separate, so that the first track 3 and the second track 4 can adapt to the cylindrical supporting cylinder.
[0063] Among them, the multiple track units are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the supporting cylinder, and each track unit is attached to the outer peripheral wall of the supporting cylinder.
[0064] Among them, adjacent track units are connected by flexible connecting members such as steel wire ropes.
[0065] One end of the first half cylinder 1 and one end of the second half cylinder 2 are hingedly connected by a rotating shaft 9, and the other end of the first half cylinder 1 and the other end of the second half cylinder 2 are detachably connected by a lock catch or a fixed shaft 10.
[0066] The first half-tube 1 and the second half-tube 2 are hinged at one end by a pivot 9, and the other end is detachably connected by a buckle. Maintenance personnel can easily open the device, quickly put it on the utility pole, and then fix the other end by the buckle, which greatly shortens the installation time and improves efficiency.
[0067] The locking mechanism provides reliable fastening force, ensuring a tight fit between the two halves of the cylinder during climbing. This prevents the device from wobbling or slipping due to loosening, effectively improving operational safety. Furthermore, by adjusting the tightness of the locking mechanism, it can be adapted to utility poles of different diameters, expanding the applicability of the pole climbing device.
[0068] The first half-cylinder 1 has a pair of ear plates extending from one end, with corresponding coaxial circular perforations on the ear plates. The second half-cylinder 2 also has a pair of matching ear plates and perforations at its corresponding end. The rotating shaft 9 is cylindrical, with its diameter precisely matching the perforations on the ear plates. Along the axial direction of the support cylinder, it passes sequentially through the perforations on one side of the ear plate of the first half-cylinder 1 and the corresponding perforations on the ear plate of the second half-cylinder 2.
[0069] The rotating shaft 9 and the through hole are fitted with a clearance to ensure that the rotating shaft 9 can rotate flexibly in the through hole without generating excessive wobbling clearance.
[0070] In one embodiment, when the first half-tube 1 and the second half-tube 2 are detachably connected at the other end by a latch, a latch fixing plate is provided at the end of the first half-tube 1 away from the rotating shaft 9. The plate has a pin hole or a slot, etc. The corresponding end of the second half-tube 2 is provided with a matching latch or a boss. The latch is inserted into the hole or the engaging slot along the axial direction of the support tube. The connection and separation of the two half-tubes are achieved by inserting or engaging the latch. This structure forms a symmetrical support with the axial rotating shaft 9, ensuring that the two half-tubes fit tightly when closed. At the same time, it is easy to install and disassemble quickly, and adapts to the clamping requirements of utility poles of different diameters.
[0071] In another embodiment, the first half-cylinder 1 and the second half-cylinder 2 are detachably connected at the other end by a fixed shaft 10. Perforated ear plates extend from both sides of the end of the first half-cylinder 1 away from the rotating shaft 9. The axis of the perforation of the ear plate is consistent with the axis of the support cylinder. Similarly, the corresponding end of the second half-cylinder 2 is also provided with an ear plate with a coaxial perforation. A fixed shaft 10 is inserted axially into the perforation of the ear plates on both sides. The two ends of the fixed shaft 10 are fixed by limiting structures such as nuts and snap rings to prevent axial movement, thereby locking the two half-cylinders together. During installation, the fixed shaft 10 is inserted into the perforation and fixed. During disassembly, the limiting structure is removed and the fixed shaft 10 is pulled out. The axial fixed shaft 10 achieves a stable connection and convenient disassembly of the two half-cylinders.
[0072] A first platform 11 is provided on the first half-cylinder 1, and a second platform 12 is provided on the second half-cylinder 2. The planes on which the first platform 11 and the second platform 12 are located are staggered and are both perpendicular to the central axis of the support cylinder.
[0073] The first platform 11 and the second platform 12 are arranged to provide standing positions for personnel and to place articles, and to lift the articles. The first platform 11 and the second platform 12 are arranged to be staggered to avoid interference between the first platform 11 and the second platform 12 when the first half cylinder 1 and the second half cylinder 2 rotate relative to each other.
[0074] The first platform 11 and the second platform 12 are substantially trapezoidal. The first platform 11 and the second platform 12 can be symmetrical structures.
[0075] The first platform 11 can be welded to the first half cylinder 1, and the second platform 12 can be welded to the second half cylinder 2.
[0076] The pole climbing device includes a remote control part connected to the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly to control the start and stop of the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly. The maintenance personnel can remotely control the start and stop of the device on the first platform 11 and the second platform 12.
[0077] The remote control part is connected to the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly through a wireless communication module such as a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or special radio frequency module. The first driving assembly and the second driving assembly are internally provided with a signal receiving unit electrically connected to the motor controller of the driving assembly. When the remote control part sends a control instruction, the signal is transmitted wirelessly to the signal receiving unit of the driving assembly, and the receiving unit converts the instruction into an electrical signal and transmits it to the power part, thereby controlling the operation of the motor and other power equipment, realizing stable and efficient signal interaction and instruction execution between the remote control part and the driving assembly.
[0078] Specifically, when the maintenance personnel operate the remote control part, they press the start button, and the remote control part encodes the start instruction into a wireless signal and sends it out. The signal receiving unit of the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly receives the signal, decodes it, and transmits it to the motor controller. The motor controller then drives the first driving wheel 5 and the second driving wheel 7 to rotate synchronously, driving the first track assembly and the second track assembly to move axially along the support cylinder, using the friction between the track and the surface of the pole to push the pole climbing device to climb upwards. When reaching the designated position, the maintenance personnel send a stop instruction through the remote control part, and the signal is transmitted to the driving assembly. The motor controller stops power supply, the driving wheel loses power, the track stops rotating, and the device is stable and stays at the current position, providing a stable platform for maintenance work.
[0079] The pole climbing device comprises an automatic adjustment part, the automatic adjustment part comprises a detection unit and a control unit, the detection unit is arranged on the support cylinder and is used to obtain the levelness of the support cylinder, and the control unit is connected with the detection unit and the first track assembly and the second track assembly respectively to control the start and stop of the first track assembly and the second track assembly and adjust the levelness of the support cylinder.
[0080] The detection unit is used to monitor the levelness of the support cylinder in real time and transmit data to the control unit, the control unit controls the start and stop of the first track assembly and the second track assembly according to the data, the dynamic adjustment of the levelness of the support cylinder is realized, the problems of unilateral track slipping and uneven force caused by inclination can be effectively avoided, and the climbing stability is improved.
[0081] The detection unit is installed on the outside or inside of the support cylinder and adopts a high-precision inclination sensor or a gyroscope, etc. to monitor the change of the horizontal angle of the support cylinder in real time and transmit the collected angle data to the control unit through a data line or a wireless transmission module. The control unit establishes a data transmission link with the detection unit and is connected with the drive motors or controllers of the first track assembly and the second track assembly through an electrical circuit to receive detection data and send control instructions to the track assemblies, so that the closed-loop connection of detection and control is realized.
[0082] Specifically, during the pole climbing process of the pole climbing device, the detection unit continuously scans the levelness of the support cylinder, and once the inclination of the support cylinder is detected, the angle deviation data is transmitted to the control unit. After receiving the data, the control unit quickly calculates the adjustment strategy required by the track assemblies on both sides. If the first half cylinder 1 of the support cylinder is low, the control unit sends a deceleration or pause instruction to the drive motor of the second track assembly while keeping the first track assembly normally running. If the second half cylinder 2 of the support cylinder is low, the control unit sends a deceleration or pause instruction to the drive motor of the first track assembly while keeping the second track assembly normally running. By changing the start and stop states of the track assemblies on both sides, the support cylinder gradually recovers to the horizontal state until the detection unit feedbacks that the levelness meets the standard, and then the control unit makes the track assemblies on both sides run synchronously to continue climbing.
[0083] Specifically, the control unit can set a levelness threshold value, for example, ±1.5°. When the data transmitted by the detection unit shows that the angle deviation exceeds the threshold value, the control unit starts the automatic adjustment program. According to the deviation direction and angle, the control unit allocates control instructions according to the priority: first, determine the track assembly to be adjusted according to the inclination direction; then calculate the adjustment time or speed change according to the deviation angle, send a pulse width modulation signal or a start and stop instruction to the drive motor of the corresponding track assembly to realize accurate speed control. At the same time, the control unit also monitors the adjustment effect in real time, continuously receives the data of the detection unit for dynamic feedback adjustment to prevent over-adjustment from causing reverse inclination and ensure that the support cylinder always remains within a safe level range.
[0084] The battery assembly is arranged on the supporting cylinder and connected with the first track assembly and the second track assembly respectively, so as to provide power for the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly.
[0085] The battery assembly comprises a lithium battery and a wire, and the lithium battery is connected with the power-consuming component through the wire.
[0086] The battery assembly is arranged at the low end of the supporting cylinder.
