Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power transmission line maintenance, in particular to a power transmission line maintenance platform up / down device and a power transmission line unmanned maintenance system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of China's power industry, the power transmission line operation and maintenance technology continues to improve. However, the increase in long-distance transmission mileage increases the burden of grassroots inspection and operation and maintenance costs, and there is an urgent need for automated and intelligent maintenance technology.

[0003] At present, bolt fastening and tension clamp flaw detection and other operations mainly rely on manual high-altitude operation, which has low efficiency and high risk. With the exploration of "drone + live maintenance" technology, based on computer vision, mechanical arm control, electromagnetic shielding and other key technologies, building an intelligent automatic maintenance system has become an inevitable trend of power grid development.

[0004] For example, the patent document with application number 2020100351709 discloses a power transmission line bolt fastening robot, which moves along the wire through walking wheels and equipotential wheels, and tightens the bolt through a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm and a flexible end fastening device. However, this scheme does not provide a corresponding upline scheme.

[0005] Take the "modular live working robot system and its working method" disclosed in the Chinese patent document with application number 2022112615868 as an example. It uses a drone to hang a carrying hook on the wire, and then uses an insulating rope winding and unwinding device to automatically raise and lower the working robot (equivalent to the maintenance platform in this application). However, after in-depth analysis, it was found that this up / down device has a significant limitation: its working process relies on the drone to complete the initial suspension, and still needs the maintenance platform that arrives later to perform the "hook taking" operation. This design lacks a hook release structure that can automatically separate the hook from the wire after the work is completed. This defect makes the up / down device highly dependent on the maintenance platform, and when used with other operation platforms that do not have the function of taking hooks with mechanical arms, it is limited, and the mechanical arm taking hook is unstable, thereby weakening the universality of its technical solution. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a power transmission line maintenance platform up / down device and a power transmission line unmanned maintenance system with high universality, simple structure, high reliability and low cost.

[0007] The technical solution of the present application is as follows: The power transmission line maintenance platform up-and-down device comprises a hook assembly and a power lifting mechanism. The lower end of the hook assembly is provided with a plurality of ropes at intervals. The lower ends of the plurality of ropes pass through the power lifting mechanism. The power lifting mechanism is used to drive the power transmission line maintenance platform to ascend or descend along the ropes or to be positioned. The power transmission line maintenance platform is provided with a walking arm device. The working end of the walking arm device is used to automatically clamp the conductor and move transversely on the conductor. A potential energy storage structure is arranged between the hook assembly and the power transmission line maintenance platform. The potential energy storage structure is used to push the hook assembly to go up and to be separated from the conductor when the walking arm device clamps the conductor.

[0008] Preferably, the potential energy storage structure comprises a butt joint sleeve which is sleeved on the rope and a limiting rope sleeve which is fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the rope and connected with the hook assembly. The butt joint sleeve is fixed on the power transmission line maintenance platform through an elastic expansion cylinder. The limiting rope sleeve and the butt joint sleeve are nested to make the butt joint sleeve abut against the limiting rope sleeve when the power transmission line maintenance platform is in the high position, and the power transmission line maintenance platform extrudes the elastic expansion cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the power lifting mechanism comprises a climbing mounting seat which is fixed relative to the power transmission line maintenance platform. A friction main wheel is rotatably mounted on the climbing mounting seat. A friction auxiliary wheel is also rotatably mounted on the climbing mounting seat to form an action wheel surface for passing through the rope in cooperation with the friction main wheel.

[0010] Preferably, the number of the friction main wheels is at least one-to-one corresponding to each rope. The climbing mounting seat is provided with a plurality of driving motors. Each friction main wheel is provided with at least one driving motor for independent driving. A gyroscope is mounted on the climbing mounting seat close to the center of the friction main wheel.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the rope which is attached to the corresponding friction main wheel is at least half of the circumference of the friction main wheel.

[0012] The power transmission line unmanned maintenance system comprises the above-mentioned power transmission line maintenance platform up-and-down device and the power transmission line maintenance platform.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the power transmission line unmanned maintenance system has the following beneficial effects: The application provides a suspension and disengagement up-and-down device which is efficient, automatic and does not interfere with subsequent operations; the up-and-down device allows the hook assembly to be suspended on the target conductor wire through various carrying modes such as unmanned aerial vehicles, climbing robots or high-altitude maintenance kits; during the suspension process, a plurality of lifting ropes are arranged to realize one-time overall suspension positioning, which is simple and efficient to operate; after the suspension is completed, the existing arbitrary or specified power line maintenance platform can be stably and accurately transported to the specified working position on the conductor wire through the power lifting mechanism; during the platform rising process, the built-in potential energy storage structure (such as a spring or an elastic body) is synchronously compressed, so that the mechanical energy is converted into elastic potential energy and stored; when the maintenance platform completes the upline and needs to be disengaged from the hook, the elastic potential energy accumulated in the potential energy storage structure is rapidly converted into kinetic energy to generate sufficient restoring force to drive or jolt the hook assembly to disengage from the conductor wire; the design ensures that the platform does not need to be continuously intervened by external power during the installation and disengagement process on the conductor wire, so as to avoid the hindrance of the hook to the subsequent power line maintenance operation activities.

The walking arm device 300 comprises a support arm 320 movably installed on the power transmission line maintenance platform 200 through an angle adjusting assembly 310, and walking pulley sets 330 capable of approaching or moving away from each other are movably arranged on the support arm 320. The angle adjusting assembly 310 comprises a support arm base 311 fixedly installed on the power transmission line maintenance platform 200, the lower end of the support arm 320 is rotatably installed on the support arm base 311, a gear one 312 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the support arm 320, a servo motor 314 is installed on the support arm base 311 or the power transmission line maintenance platform 200, a gear two 313 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the servo motor 314, and the gear two 313 is engaged with the gear one 312.The walking pulley block 330 comprises a walking wheel 331 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the branch arm 320 close to the side of the wire, a driving motor 332 for driving the walking wheel 331 is mounted on the branch arm 320, a pulley block mounting seat 333 is reciprocatingly mounted on the branch arm 320 along the extending direction of the branch arm 320 so as to be opposite to the walking wheel 331, two auxiliary pinch wheels 334 are rotatably mounted on the pulley block mounting seat 333. A linear guide rail 335 is mounted on the branch arm 320, and the pulley block mounting seat 333 is fixed on the output end of the linear guide rail 335.

[0026] The working principle of the system is: the unmanned flight equipment 600 first hangs the circular adapter ring body 110 through the hook 610, controls the unmanned flight equipment 600 to suspend the hook combination body 120 fixedly connected with the adapter ring body 110 on the target wire, in this embodiment, the hook combination body 120 is a combination structure of a group of hooks connected by connecting rods, and the setting purpose is to realize the spacing of two ropes 130 in one suspension, so as to improve the stability of installation; then, the power lifting mechanism 150 starts, the single driving motor 152 of the power lifting mechanism 150 drives the two friction main wheels 153 through the gear line respectively, and the two friction sub-wheels 154 beside each friction main wheel 153 tightly paste the rope 130 on half of the circumference of the corresponding friction main wheel 153, so as to obtain sufficient friction force, it is noted that in this embodiment, the friction main wheel 153 and the corresponding rope 130 slide relative to each other, instead of the common setting mode of winding the rope 130, so that the rope-up mode does not need to wind the rope 130, which can avoid the increase of volume and weight of the friction main wheel 153, so as to improve the whole maintenance platform; when the platform rises, the limiting rope sleeve 141 sleeved outside the rope 130 will contact the butt joint sleeve 142, and when the platform continues to rise, the limiting rope sleeve 141 will compress the elastic expansion cylinder 143, and store energy in the elastic expansion cylinder 143, after the platform is in place, the servo motor 314 of the walking arm device 300 drives the branch arm 320 to rotate through the meshing of gear two 313 and gear one 312, so that the top end of the branch arm 320 approaches the wire, then the linear guide rail 335 pushes the pulley block mounting seat 333 and the auxiliary clamping wheel 334 upwards, and cooperates with the walking wheel 331 to tightly clamp the wire in the walking pulley block 330. After the platform is locked, the power lifting mechanism 150 reversely rotates to slightly release the rope 130, the restoring force of the pre-pressed elastic expansion cylinder 143 in the potential energy storage structure 140 pushes the limiting rope sleeve 141 and the butt joint sleeve 142 upwards, and then the hook combination body 120 is separated from the wire, so as to realize automatic unhooking, thereafter, the maintenance platform moves along the wire under the driving of the walking wheel 331, and the five-axis mechanical arm carries out the maintenance task by the bolt fastening equipment at the tail end, the hook combination body 120 is generally made of metal material, and dragging on the wire will cause a series of serious defects: it will scratch the surface of the wire, damage the anticorrosive layer and possibly damage the internal steel core, which not only weakens the mechanical strength of the wire and forms a hidden danger of fracture, but also causes local resistance to increase and overheating, increases the loss of electric energy; at the same time, dragging may also impact and damage the shock absorber and other line auxiliary equipment, and there is a risk of falling objects from high altitude, which finally seriously threatens the safety and reliability of the power transmission line; finally, the hook combination body 120 of the up and down line device 100 is suspended on the wire again through the unmanned flight equipment 600, the power lifting mechanism 150 is reversely rotated to compress the potential energy storage structure 140 again, and then the walking arm device 300 performs the actions of opening the wire and rotating away from the wire in turn, and the power lifting mechanism 150 is reversely rotated to lower the power transmission line maintenance platform 200 and unhook the wire.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown in the first embodiment: The difference between the above embodiment is that two driving motors 152 are arranged on the climbing mount 151, and the driving motor 152 drives the friction main wheel 153 one by one. The gyro 155 is installed near the center of the friction main wheel 153 of the climbing mount 151.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the slope of the wire exceeds the clamping range of the walking arm device 300, the power lifting mechanism 150 first adjusts its height on the two ropes 130 so that the slope of the power lifting mechanism 150 is consistent with the target wire, and then the clamping action of the walking pulley block 330 is performed. At the same time, the gyro 155 monitors the platform posture in real time. When the left and right gravity distribution of the maintenance platform is uneven, the left and right sides of the maintenance platform may be inconsistent in the climbing height of the rope 130. At this time, the lifting speed difference of the two friction main wheels 153 can be adjusted to keep the platform posture horizontal.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited thereto; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
