[0002] After long-term operation, electrical equipment (such as transformers, lines, and switches) may develop hidden dangers due to aging, wear, or external factors (such as lightning strikes or animal damage). Regular maintenance can detect and repair problems in advance, preventing large-scale power outages caused by sudden equipment failures. Power maintenance is a key link in ensuring the safe, stable, and efficient operation of the power system. Its necessity is reflected on multiple levels, concerning not only basic public welfare but also economic, environmental, and technological development.

[0003] Currently, the maintenance of electrical equipment typically requires manual operation. However, some electrical equipment malfunctions are quite dangerous, posing serious safety threats to operators. Furthermore, when damaged equipment is in harsh environments, manual repair is less efficient, leading to delays in maintenance, further damage to the equipment, and energy waste. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an intelligent maintenance device for power equipment to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent maintenance device for power equipment, comprising a vehicle body, a drive system on the vehicle body, and four travel wheels on the drive system.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides an intelligent maintenance device for power equipment, including a vehicle body 1, a drive system 3 on the vehicle body 1, and four travel wheels 2 on the drive system 3. A universal rotator 4 and a maintenance positioning component 6 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the vehicle body 1. The universal rotator 4 is located on one side of the maintenance positioning component 6 and is placed on the side of the device's running direction. A visual pathfinding system 5 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the universal rotator 4. An equipment maintenance system 7 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the maintenance positioning component 6. The equipment maintenance system 7 includes a first telescopic component 71, which is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the maintenance positioning component 6. A fixed track frame 72 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the first telescopic component 71. Two sliding blocks 73 are slidably arranged on the fixed track frame 72. Each sliding block 73 is fixedly mounted with a clamping plate 74. The two clamping plates 74 are mirror images of each other, and a climbing maintenance mechanism 76 is clamped between the two clamping plates 74. In a preferred embodiment, when the power system detects damage to power equipment at a certain location, it sends a route trajectory to the visual pathfinding system 5. The visual pathfinding system 5 drives the drive system 3, and the system reaches the location of the power equipment by moving the wheels 2. The vehicle body 1 contains commonly used equipment for power equipment repair (wires, screwdrivers, accessories, etc.). The equipment repair system 7 is activated first and grabs some commonly used accessories from the storage compartment that pops out of the vehicle body 1. Then, the equipment repair system 7 is sent to the power equipment by the repair positioning component 6 (if the power equipment is at a high place or on a utility pole, the equipment repair system 7 is placed on the utility pole first), and it clamps the target. Then, the position is adjusted, and the repair operation is performed. If the carried tools are not compatible, the tools are replaced after scanning all problems until all problems are repaired. Then, the system returns to the original position on the target, stores the tools with the assistance of the repair positioning component 6, and then returns to the initial position and returns.

[0017] The first telescopic member 71 can extend to increase the placement range of the climbing maintenance mechanism 76, allowing the device to deliver the climbing maintenance mechanism 76 to the target location within a certain range. This enables the device to freely choose a suitable parking position within a certain range, avoiding situations where the planned route location cannot be stopped nearby due to environmental issues, resulting in low maintenance efficiency or even inability to maintain the power equipment. At the same time, it reduces the potential risks of the device and increases its service life. The two sliding blocks 73 do not slide synchronously; they can slide freely according to the actual situation. While increasing the placement range of the climbing maintenance mechanism 76, they can also change the horizontal width of the climbing maintenance mechanism 76, allowing it to be better clamped onto the target, providing better maintenance services, and improving maintenance quality and efficiency.

[0018] Furthermore, the maintenance positioning component 6 includes a scissor lift 61, a first rotator 63 is horizontally arranged on the upper surface of the scissor lift 61, and a driving hydraulic cylinder 62 is arranged at both ends of the lower side of the scissor lift 61. In a preferred embodiment, the maintenance positioning component 6 can accurately deliver the equipment maintenance system 7 to the target location within a certain range, avoiding situations where the planned route location cannot be stopped nearby due to environmental issues, thus resulting in low maintenance efficiency or even inability to maintain the power equipment. At the same time, it reduces the potential risks of the device and improves its service life.

[0019] Furthermore, a magnetic block 75 is embedded in the clamping plate 74, and the magnetic block 75 is positioned at the clamping position with the climbing and maintenance mechanism 76. In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic block 75 is rotatably mounted on the clamping plate 74, and the magnetic block 75 is an electromagnetic block. It can rotate to help the climbing maintenance mechanism 76 change and clamp tools. At the same time, the state of the climbing maintenance mechanism 76 can be determined by whether it is energized or not. When energized, the climbing maintenance mechanism 76 is relatively fixed to the clamping plate 74 and can be adjusted and moved. When not energized, the clamping plate 74 no longer has a fixing effect on the climbing maintenance mechanism 76, and the climbing maintenance mechanism 76 can move on the target equipment, thereby better performing maintenance work.

[0020] Furthermore, the climbing maintenance mechanism 76 includes: A fixed frame 761 is mounted on a clamping plate 74. A telescopic frame 762 is telescopically mounted at a position parallel to the fixed track frame 72. Telescopic beams 763 are telescopically mounted at positions perpendicular to the fixed track frame 72 on both the fixed frame 761 and the telescopic frame 762. An intelligent climbing component 764 is fixedly mounted at the other end of the telescopic beam 763, and the two intelligent climbing components 764 are mirror images of each other. The maintenance component 765 is rotatably mounted on the side of the fixed frame 761 away from the sliding block 73; In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic arrangement of the fixed frame 761 and the telescopic frame 762 can be changed when needed to alter the shape of the climbing maintenance mechanism 76, allowing it to clamp wider electrical equipment. The telescopic beam 763 can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the electrical equipment, thereby reserving sufficient space for the maintenance component 765 to carry out maintenance work, further ensuring maintenance quality and efficiency.

[0021] Furthermore, a tension spring is provided between the fixed frame 761 and the telescopic frame 762; In a preferred embodiment, the tension spring can maintain a certain tension between the fixed frame 761 and the telescopic frame 762, thereby ensuring the clamping state of the climbing maintenance mechanism 76.

[0022] Furthermore, the intelligent climbing component 764 includes a second rotator 7641, which is fixedly mounted on the telescopic beam 763. A fixing block 7642 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second rotator 7641. Connecting rods 7643 are rotatably arranged at both ends of the fixing block 7642. A fixing plate 7644 is provided at the other end of each connecting rod 7643. A plurality of adjusting contactors 7645 are fixedly arranged on the fixing plate 7644. A climbing wheel 7646 is provided on each adjusting contactor 7645. In a preferred embodiment, when the clamping surface of the power equipment is a plane, the included angle between the two connecting rods 7643 is 180°. When the clamping surface of the power equipment is not a plane, the two connecting rods 7643 will rotate to form a certain included angle, so that the traveling climbing wheel 7646 contacts the surface of the clamping surface, thereby ensuring a better movement effect. The setting of the adjusting contactor 7645 can adjust the climbing wheel 7646 in contact with the clamping surface.

[0023] Furthermore, each of the climbing wheels 7646 is equipped with a unidirectional motor, and the rotation directions of adjacent climbing wheels 7646 on each fixed plate 7644 are opposite. In a preferred embodiment, the climbing wheels 7646 on each fixed plate 7644 are divided into forward wheels and backward wheels, and the unidirectional motors inside can only rotate in one direction. Therefore, when the forward wheel rises, the characteristics of the unidirectional motor can effectively prevent it from slipping.

[0024] Furthermore, the repair component 765 includes: The second telescopic member 7651 is rotatably mounted on the side of the fixed frame 761 away from the sliding block 73. A third rotator 7652 is fixedly mounted on the other side of the second telescopic member 7651. A rotating plate 7653 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the third rotator 7652. Four maintenance part holders 7654 are arranged circumferentially on the rotating plate 7653. The visual positioning module 7655 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the rotating plate 7653 and placed between the four maintenance part holders 7654. In a preferred embodiment, the second telescopic member 7651 can provide a larger maintenance range for the rotating plate 7653 by rotating and telescopically extending. At the same time, the third rotator 7652 can change the position of the repair part holder 7654, thereby more efficiently carrying out comprehensive repair work on the damaged position. The repair part holder 7654 can hold repair tools, so that the device can adapt to most repair situations, thereby improving the practicality of the device. The visual positioning module 7655 can find and scan the position to be repaired, judge it, mark the position, and adjust the appropriate repair part holder 7654 to hold the tool for repair work.

[0025] In practice, the following steps are included: When the power system detects damage to power equipment at a certain location, it sends a route trajectory to the visual pathfinding system 5. The visual pathfinding system 5 drives the drive system 3, and the vehicle reaches the location of the power equipment by moving the wheels 2. The vehicle body 1 contains commonly used equipment for power equipment repair (wires, screwdrivers, accessories, etc.). The equipment repair system 7 is activated first and grabs some commonly used accessories from the storage compartment that pops out of the vehicle body 1. Then, the equipment repair system 7 is sent to the power equipment through the repair positioning component 6 (if the power equipment is at a high place or on a utility pole, the equipment repair system 7 is placed on the utility pole first), and it clamps the target. Then, the position is adjusted and the repair operation is performed. If the carried tools are not compatible, the tools are replaced after scanning all problems until all problems are repaired. Then, the system returns to the original position on the target and stores the tools with the assistance of the repair positioning component 6. Then, it returns to the initial position and returns.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
