Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of de-icing technology, and more particularly to a multi-cable compatible de-icing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the power industry, the geographical environments through which power lines pass have become more complex, leading to frequent icing disasters on transmission lines. During winter and early spring, temperatures are relatively high in some southern regions, and snowfall is often a mixture of rain and snow, causing many high-voltage lines to be covered with icicles. Severe icing of transmission lines can cause problems such as line breaks, tower tilting and collapse, and insulator flashover. At the same time, uneven icing of transmission lines and icing at different times can easily cause power outages and other accidents, seriously affecting agricultural, industrial, and commercial production activities.

[0003] Existing anti-icing devices for cables have several drawbacks. Most current anti-icing spraying devices have poor adaptability and struggle to meet the operational needs of cables of varying specifications. Many devices use fixed-specification contact components, making it impossible to effectively adjust the contact state when dealing with cables of different thicknesses. For example, some devices use simple brush heads that cannot fully cover the cable surface when encountering thicker cables, resulting in poor spraying effects. Furthermore, some devices are not designed to accommodate variations in cable thickness; when the cable thickness exceeds their preset range, the entire device may not even be able to install or function properly, requiring replacement of the spraying equipment for further use, demonstrating poor adaptability.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a de-icing device that is compatible with multiple cables and can accommodate cables of different sizes, compared to existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art and provides a de-icing device that is compatible with multiple cables.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A multi-cable compatible de-icing device includes a drive control mechanism, a spraying roller brush mechanism, a guide arm, a hoisting mechanism, and a guide channel. The guide channel is located at the lower end of the drive control mechanism, the guide arm is located below the guide channel, the hoisting mechanism is located on the drive control mechanism, and the spraying roller brush mechanism is connected to a set of opposite side walls of the drive control mechanism.

[0008] The spraying roller brush mechanism includes a servo motor, multiple gear grippers, and roller brushes. The lower end of the servo motor is connected to multiple gear grippers, and multiple roller brushes are arranged below each gear gripper. The servo motor is used to control the opening and closing of the multiple gear grippers.

[0009] The guide channel includes a guide housing and a support assembly. The support assembly is disposed inside the guide housing. The upper end of the support assembly abuts against the cable. The support assembly is used to support the cable.

[0010] Furthermore, the support assembly includes an electric push rod and a support concave wheel. The electric push rod is disposed on the inner side wall of the guide arm, and the output end of the electric push rod is connected to the support concave wheel. The support concave wheel abuts against the cable.

[0011] Furthermore, the guide arm includes a guide housing and a water tank, the water tank is disposed on the inner wall of the guide housing, the water tank has a concave space inside the water tank, and the electric push rod is disposed in the concave space.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive control mechanism includes a drive component, a fluid control component, and a main housing. The drive component is mounted on the main housing, and the fluid control component is disposed inside the main housing. One end of the fluid control component is connected to the water tank, and the other end is connected to the spraying roller brush mechanism. The drive component is used to drive the de-icing device to move along the cable.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a main control board, a geared motor, and a drive wheel. The main control board is disposed inside the main body housing and is electrically connected to multiple geared motors. The output end of each geared motor is fixedly connected to a drive wheel. The drive wheel passes through the lower wall of the main body housing and is in contact with a cable.

[0014] Furthermore, two guide channels and two guide arms are provided, with the two guide channels spaced apart. The distance between the two guide arms gradually increases from the end closer to the guide channel to the end farther away from the guide channel. Each guide arm is provided with a water tank.

[0015] Furthermore, the fluid control assembly includes a tee connector and a peristaltic pump. One connector of the tee connector is connected to a water tank, another connector is connected to another water tank, and the remaining connector is connected to the peristaltic pump. The other end of the peristaltic pump is connected to the spraying roller brush mechanism via a water pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, the other end of the peristaltic pump is connected to a solenoid valve, which is connected to the spraying roller brush mechanism via a water pipe. By energizing or de-energizing the solenoid valve, water flows into different spraying roller brush mechanisms.

[0017] Furthermore, the spraying roller brush mechanism also includes a spraying housing and an atomizing nozzle. The servo motor is disposed inside the spraying housing, the gear gripper is disposed below the spraying housing, and the atomizing nozzle is disposed below the spraying housing, with the atomizing nozzle positioned corresponding to the position of the cable.

[0018] Furthermore, the hoisting mechanism includes a connector, a fixed shaft, and a hanging ring. The connector is fixed to the upper wall of the drive control mechanism, the fixed shaft is fixed inside the connector, and the hanging ring is connected to the fixed shaft.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] This invention uses a servo motor to control the gear gripper so that the roller brush fits into the cable. Within the maximum limit of gear meshing, it can accommodate cables of different specifications. In complex real-world situations, it can continuously perform anti-icing spraying operations on cables of different thicknesses without replacement. At the same time, the use of electric push rods and support concave wheels can support cables of different specifications and ensure the stability of the support for cables of different specifications.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a multi-cable compatible de-icing device, including a drive control mechanism 1, a spray brush mechanism 2, a guide arm 4, a hoisting mechanism 5, and a guide channel 6. The guide channel 6 is provided at the lower end of the drive control mechanism 1, and the guide arm 4 is provided at the lower end of the guide channel 6. The hoisting mechanism 5 is provided at the upper end of the drive control mechanism 1. A set of opposite sidewalls of the drive control mechanism 1 are connected to the spray brush mechanism 2, and the two spray brush mechanisms 2 are distributed along the length of the guide channel 6. The hoisting mechanism 5 is lifted by a drone, and then the lower end of the guide arm 4 passes through the cable 3 first, and then the de-icing device of this invention is lowered, so that the cable 3 enters the guide channel 6 and the spray brush mechanism 2. The guide channel 6 is used to support the cable 3. Then, the spray brush mechanism 2 is activated by the drive control mechanism 1 to perform de-icing operation on the cable 3.

[0030] Two guide rails 6 and two guide arms 4 are provided. There is a gap between the two guide rails 6. The two guide arms 4 are inclined. The distance between the two guide arms 4 and the end further away from the guide rail 6 is larger. The two guide arms 4 and the two guide rails 6 form a "Y" shape.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, the drive control mechanism 1 includes a drive assembly, a fluid control assembly, and a main housing 107. The drive assembly includes a main control board 101, a geared motor 102, and a drive wheel 103. The main control board 101 and the geared motor 102 are both located inside the main housing 107. The lower end of the drive wheel 103 passes through the main housing 107 and contacts the cable 3. Two geared motors 102 and two drive wheels 103 are provided. The geared motors 102 are right-angle geared motors. Each geared motor 102 is controlled to be switched on and off by the main control board 101. The output end of the geared motor 102 is rigidly connected to the corresponding drive wheel 103. The two drive wheels 103 are distributed at both ends of the movement direction, which is the extension direction of the cable 3. The lower wall of the main housing 107 has two openings. The lower ends of the drive wheels 103 extend out of the corresponding openings and contact the cable 3. The main control board 101 controls the geared motor 102 to start, driving the two drive wheels 103 to rotate in the same direction, and then driving the entire device to move along the extension direction of the cable 3.

[0032] The fluid control assembly includes a solenoid valve 104, a three-way connector 105, and a peristaltic pump 106. A water tank 403 is mounted on the guide arm 4. Each water tank 403 has an outlet connected to a water pipe. Two water pipes are connected to two ports of the three-way connector 105. The third port of the three-way connector 105 is connected to the peristaltic pump 106 via a water pipe. The other end of the peristaltic pump 106 is connected to the solenoid valve 104 via a pipe. Two additional water pipes are connected to the solenoid valve 104. One water pipe is connected to one spray brush mechanism 2, and the other is connected to another spray brush mechanism 2. By energizing and de-energizing the solenoid valve 104, the liquid in the water tank 403 flows to different spray brush mechanisms 2. The three-way connector 105 merges the liquids from the two water tanks 403 into one path. The peristaltic pump 106 provides power to the liquid, and the solenoid valve 104 controls the position of the liquid delivery. The liquid stored in the water tank 403 is paint.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the guide arm 4 includes a guide housing 401 and a water tank 403. The water tank 403 is disposed inside the guide housing 401. A battery 402 is also disposed inside the guide housing 401. The battery 402 is disposed below the water tank 403 and is used to provide power to the main control board 101. The inside of the guide housing 401 is the side closest to the other guide arm 4. The water tank 403 is a U-shaped water tank 403 with a concave space. The concave spaces of the two water tanks 403 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0034] The guide channel 6 includes a guide housing 601 and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a mounting base 602, support concave wheels 603, and an electric push rod 604. The mounting base 602 is provided inside the guide housing 601. Multiple support concave wheels 603 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 602. The axis of the support concave wheels 603 is perpendicular to the axis of the cable 3. An electric push rod 604 is provided in the concave space of each water tank 403. The electric push rod 604 extends along the inclined direction of the guide arm 4. The output end of the electric push rod 604 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting base 602. The guide housing 601 is fixed at the upper end of the guide housing 401. The upper end of the guide housing 601 is fixed below the drive control structure.

[0035] When using a drone for hoisting, the drone will slightly tilt the front or rear of the device according to its center of gravity. This, via an electric push rod 604, pushes the mounting base 602, causing the support concave wheel 603 on the mounting base 602 to abut against the bottom of the cable 3, clamping the cable 3 and preventing the device from tilting forward or backward. When the cable 3 is not yet inside the guide channel 6, the electric push rod 604 is in a retracted state. Once the cable 3 enters the guide channel 6, the electric push rod 604 is in an extended state, causing the support concave wheel 603 to make hard contact with the cable 3, ensuring the stability of the device relative to the cable 3. This also allows for the clamping of cables 3 of different sizes.

[0036] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the spraying roller brush mechanism 2 includes a spraying housing 201, a servo motor 202, an atomizing nozzle 203, gear grippers 204, and a roller brush 205. The spraying housing 201 is movably connected to the side wall of the main housing 107 via a system support rod 207 and a damper 206. The servo motor 202 is installed inside the spraying housing 201, and two gear grippers 204 are connected below the servo motor 202. The servo motor 202 controls the opening and closing of the two gear grippers 204 and their opening and closing angle. Multiple roller brushes 205 are rotatably connected below each gear gripper 204. Each roller brush 205 has multiple bristles. Both the gear grippers 204 and the roller brushes 205 are located outside the spray coating housing 201. An atomizing nozzle 203 is also installed through the lower wall of the spray coating housing 201. The atomizing nozzle 203 is connected to the solenoid valve 104 via a water pipe. The atomizing nozzle 203 is positioned between two gear grippers 204, corresponding to the position of the cable 3. A limiting concave wheel 208 is provided below the system support rod 207, and the limiting concave wheel 208 contacts the cable 3.

[0037] When the device provided by this invention is not placed on the cable 3, the servo motor 202 controls the gear gripper 204 to be in an open state. When the device is placed on the cable 3, the servo motor 202 controls the gear gripper 204 to rotate and close, so that the bristles of the roller brush 205 are attached to the cable 3. The opening angle of the two gear grippers 204 is adjusted according to the different sizes of the cable 3. Combined with the structure of the electric push rod 604 and the support concave wheel 603, it can be applied to cables 3 of different sizes while ensuring the stability of the cable 3.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the hoisting mechanism 5 includes a connector 501, a fixed shaft 502, and a hanging ring 503. The connector 501 is fixed to the upper wall of the main body shell 107. There are multiple connectors 501, and each connector 501 is U-shaped. The fixed shaft 502 is fixedly connected inside the connector 501. The axis of the fixed shaft 502 is parallel to the outer upper wall of the main body shell 107. The hanging ring 503 is provided on the fixed shaft 502.

[0039] The working principle of the multi-cable compatible de-icing device provided by this invention is as follows: When the device is not installed on cable 3, the electric push rod 604 is in the retracted state, and the gear gripper 204 is in the open state, connecting the drone to the lifting ring to achieve drone hoisting. When it moves to the position of cable 3, the device provided by this invention under the drone allows cable 3 to first enter between the two guide arms 4. Due to the large opening at the lower end of the two guide arms 4, it is easier for cable 3 to enter. Under the guidance of the guide arms 4, cable 3 enters the guide channel 6 and the spray roller brush. Inside mechanism 2, the electric push rod 604 is then extended, causing the support concave wheel 603 to contact the bottom of the cable 3, thus achieving contact with the bottom of the cable 3. The servo motor 202 drives the two gear grippers 204 to close, causing the bristles of the roller brush 205 to contact the cable 3. Before the paint is delivered, the bristles of the roller brush 205 remove ice and clean the cable 3. After the de-icing and cleaning operation is completed, the peristaltic pump 106 is driven to control the solenoid valve 104, delivering paint to the spraying roller brush mechanism 2 on both sides. Under the action of the roller brush 205, the cable 3 is coated.

[0040] This invention uses a servo motor 202 to control a gear gripper 204 so that the roller brush 205 fits into the cable 3. Within the maximum limit of gear meshing, it can accommodate cables 3 of different specifications. In complex real-world situations, it can continuously perform anti-icing spraying operations on cables 3 of different thicknesses without replacement. At the same time, the electric push rod 604 and the support concave wheel 603 can support cables 3 of different specifications and ensure the stability of the support for cables 3 of different specifications.

Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of the present invention do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
