TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of power grid safety protection equipment, and particularly relates to a concentrated air cannon for removing the influence of freezing rain on power grid safety. BACKGROUND
[0002] Freezing rain disaster is one of the main natural disasters affecting the safe operation of power grids. The economic losses caused by power grid failures due to freezing rain each year amount to hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide. In southern China, long periods of low-temperature rain, snow and freezing weather often occur in winter, and the problem of power grid icing is particularly prominent. Large-scale power grid icing tower collapse and wire breakage accidents have occurred many times in history, seriously affecting the stable supply of electricity.
[0003] To address the problem of power grid icing, domestic and foreign scientific research institutions and enterprises have carried out a large number of related technical research. The existing deicing technologies each have limitations: manual knocking deicing is primitive, not only inefficient, but also may damage the wires and insulators due to improper operation; mechanical deicing equipment is bulky and has poor mobility, making it difficult to meet the deicing needs of power grid equipment in complex terrain; thermal deicing technologies such as direct current deicing and alternating current deicing require a large amount of electrical energy and are only suitable for specific types of transmission lines, and are not very versatile; and chemical deicing methods such as spreading deicing agents can corrode power grid metal components and pollute the soil and water sources, which does not meet environmental protection requirements.
[0004] Air cannon technology was initially applied in the mining, cement and other industries to remove material blockages in silos and pipelines. With the development of technology, its application in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation has gradually expanded. The core principle of air cannon deicing is to use the shock wave generated by the instantaneous release of high-pressure air to achieve the breaking and peeling of ice layers through impact force, vibration resonance and shearing action. Compared with traditional deicing technologies, air cannon deicing has significant technical advantages. However, existing air cannon equipment is mostly designed to be large-scale and is mainly used in the fields of mining and construction, lacking special designs tailored to the characteristics of power grid equipment. There are problems such as large size, poor mobility, complex operation, and inability to adapt to the deicing needs of different key power grid equipment.
[0005] At the same time, existing air cannons still have deficiencies in air supply stability, shock wave concentration effect, and remote control precision, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of equipment damage-free, safe and reliable, and efficient and fast in power grid deicing operations. For example, some air cannons use a single air supply method, the detonation effect is unstable, and the shock wave intensity is difficult to control accurately; some equipment lack flexible angle adjustment mechanisms and cannot accurately remove ice at different heights and locations; some equipment requires on-site close-range operation, increasing the safety risks of workers in harsh weather conditions.
[0006] Therefore, developing a miniaturized, universal, flexible, and adaptable energy-concentrating air cannon suitable for various key power grid equipment, and addressing the aforementioned deficiencies in existing technologies, is of significant practical importance and application value for improving the power grid's resistance to freezing rain disasters and ensuring its safe and stable operation. This invention is based on this principle and designs an energy-concentrating air cannon specifically designed to eliminate the impact of freezing rain on power grid safety. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing power grid de-icing technologies and the inadequacies of existing air cannons in power grid de-icing applications, and to provide a focused air cannon for eliminating the impact of freezing rain on power grid safety. This focused air cannon features a miniaturized and universal design, simple operation, stable performance, and flexible control. It can be customized with launch tubes for different key power grid equipment, achieving non-destructive, efficient, and safe de-icing operations through shock wave mechanics and vibration effects. It also possesses environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and highly adaptable characteristics, effectively solving the problem of power grid icing during freezing rain and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a shaped-energy air cannon for eliminating the impact of freezing rain on power grid safety, comprising a detonation chamber, a launching tube, a gas supply system, an electrical system, and a chassis. The detonation chamber, launching tube, gas supply system, and electrical system are all mounted on the chassis. One end of the detonation chamber is sealed to the launching tube, and the other end is connected to the gas supply system. The electrical system is electrically connected to the gas supply system and the detonation chamber, respectively, and is used to control gas supply, detonation triggering, and equipment status monitoring.
[0009] Furthermore, the detonation chamber is a circular canister structure made of high-strength alloy steel. The inner wall of the canister is coated with a wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coating. The two ends of the detonation chamber are respectively provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet is sealed to the air outlet of the gas supply system, and the air outlet is fixedly connected to the launch tube through a flange. An ignition device is provided in the detonation chamber, and the ignition device is electrically connected to the electrical system.
[0010] Furthermore, the launch tube adopts a flared design, including a connecting section, a contraction section, and a diffusion section connected in sequence. The connecting section is sealed to the outlet of the detonation chamber. The inner diameter of the contraction section gradually decreases from the end near the connecting section to the end near the diffusion section, and the inner diameter of the diffusion section gradually increases from the end near the contraction section outwards. The launch tube is made of lightweight, high-strength aluminum alloy material, and the inner wall is polished. Its length and diameter can be customized according to the de-icing requirements of different key equipment in the power grid.
[0011] Furthermore, the gas supply system includes a compressor, a propane tank, a mixing chamber, a flow control valve, and a pressure sensor. The outlets of the compressor and the propane tank are connected to the mixing chamber via pipelines. Both gas supply pipelines are equipped with flow control valves and pressure sensors. The outlet of the mixing chamber is connected to the inlet of the detonation chamber.
[0012] Furthermore, the electrical system includes a power supply system and a control system. The power supply system adopts an AC 380V power supply mode and includes a transformer, a voltage regulator, and a backup power supply, with the backup power supply being a lithium battery pack. The control system adopts wireless remote control and includes a controller, a remote control receiver, a status display module, and multiple control switches. The controller is electrically connected to the flow control valve, pressure sensor, ignition device, and compressor, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the chassis is welded from steel plates, with anti-slip and wear-resistant pads on the bottom. The chassis is equipped with a seat ring and connecting bolts. The energy-concentrating air cannon is fixedly connected to the seat ring through the connecting bolts. The bottom of the chassis is also equipped with a rotating mechanism and a braking mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor and a gear transmission assembly. The rotating motor is electrically connected to the controller.
[0014] Furthermore, the detonation chamber has a wall thickness of 10-15mm, an internal volume of 0.5-1.2m³, and can withstand instantaneous pressures of 0.8-1.2MPa.
[0015] Furthermore, the length of the connecting section of the launch tube is 20-30cm, the cone angle of the contraction section is 30°-45°, the cone angle of the diffusion section is 60°-90°, and the maximum diameter of the flare is 50-80cm.
[0016] Furthermore, the compressor output pressure of the gas supply system is 0.8-1.0 MPa, the working pressure of the propane tank is 1.0-1.5 MPa, and the mixing ratio of air to propane in the mixing chamber is 10:1-15:1.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a heating system, which comprises an electric heating plate and a temperature sensor. The electric heating plate is installed on the outer wall of the pipes connecting the detonation chamber and the gas supply system, and the temperature sensor is used to monitor the equipment temperature. The electrical system is also equipped with an emergency protection module. When the pressure sensor detects that the gas pressure exceeds a preset threshold, or the temperature sensor detects an abnormal equipment temperature, the emergency protection module automatically cuts off the power supply and issues an alarm signal.

Propane gas is used as an auxiliary combustion gas, with low consumption and no pollution from combustion products. It does not damage the surrounding soil, vegetation and water environment, and meets environmental protection requirements. At the same time, its energy consumption is far lower than that of thermal de-icing technology, achieving the dual goals of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0025] Strong low-temperature adaptability and all-weather operation: Equipped with a heating system, it automatically starts when the ambient temperature is below -5℃ to prevent gas liquefaction and pipeline icing, ensuring normal operation of the equipment in severe cold and freezing rain weather, realizing uninterrupted de-icing operation in all weather conditions, and improving the power grid's disaster resistance capability under extreme weather conditions.
[0026] Real-time status monitoring and convenient operation and maintenance: The status display module of the electrical system can display information such as valve working status, gas pressure, and power supply status in real time, allowing operators to keep abreast of the equipment's operating status and facilitate timely detection and handling of equipment faults; the simple structure of each component of the equipment makes disassembly convenient and subsequent maintenance easy, reducing operation and maintenance costs.
