Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rope threading technology, and more particularly to a rope threader and a flight traction device. Background Technology

[0002] When performing high-altitude operations, it is necessary to provide safety belt suspension points or fall arrestor connection points for the workers. These points can serve as manual attachment points to facilitate subsequent high-altitude work for the operators.

[0003] In related technologies, the safety belt suspension point or fall arrestor connection point requires the operator to climb to a preset height area to manually attach the safety belt or fall arrestor.

[0004] Manual hanging of points has the problems of low efficiency and high risk. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a rope threader and a flight traction device, which can solve the problems of low efficiency and high risk of manual attachment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, this application provides a rope threader, comprising:

[0008] The cover is used to attach an external drone. The cover has a placement cavity and an opening communicating with the placement cavity.

[0009] The first end of the traction rope is located inside the placement cavity, and the second end of the traction rope is located outside the cover through an opening.

[0010] The drive assembly is located inside the placement cavity and is connected to the traction rope drive. The drive assembly is used to drive the traction rope to move.

[0011] The counterweight is connected to the second end.

[0012] In some implementations, the driving component includes:

[0013] The driving component has a mounting end and an output shaft, with the mounting end connected to the inner wall of the cover.

[0014] The rotating component is fixedly connected to the output shaft, and the outer peripheral wall of the rotating component abuts against the traction rope.

[0015] In some implementations, it also includes:

[0016] The rope-pressing assembly is located inside the placement cavity and is connected to the traction rope;

[0017] Along the radial direction of the traction rope, the rope pressing assembly and the rotating component are spaced apart to form a placement gap, within which the traction rope is placed.

[0018] In some embodiments, the rope pressing assembly includes:

[0019] A spring is attached to the inner wall of the cover.

[0020] The abutment has one end connected to the spring and the other end connected to the traction rope; the abutment is located on the side of the spring away from the cover.

[0021] In some implementations, it also includes:

[0022] The reel is rotatably mounted inside the placement cavity, and the traction rope is wound around the outer ring of the reel.

[0023] In some embodiments, the cover includes:

[0024] Lower deck;

[0025] Hatch cover, located in the lower hold;

[0026] The lower compartment and hatch cover enclose a storage cavity;

[0027] The opening is located in at least one of the bottom compartment and / or hatch cover.

[0028] In some implementations, the end of the hatch facing away from the bottom compartment has a towing unit for attaching an external drone.

[0029] In some implementations, it also includes:

[0030] A placement assembly, located in at least one of the lower deck and / or hatch cover, for opening or closing the opening.

[0031] In some implementations, the placement component includes:

[0032] An electric door, located in at least one of the lower deck and / or hatch cover, the electric door covering the opening;

[0033] The control unit is electrically connected to the electric door and is used to control the opening or closing of the electric door.

[0034] Secondly, this application provides a flight traction device, including a rope threader.

[0035] This rope threader structure, with its cover, protects the traction rope and drive assembly, and facilitates connection to a drone, allowing the drone to lift the threader to a preset height. The drive assembly and traction rope ensure that when the threader reaches the preset height, the drive assembly moves the traction rope. The counterweight moves downwards under its own weight, further reducing the traction rope's sway in the air and allowing it to be wound around a preset installation position. This results in high installation efficiency, eliminates the need for manual climbing to the preset height, reduces the risk compared to traditional manual hanging points, and protects operator safety.

[0036] Therefore, the rope threading device provided in this application can solve the problems of low efficiency and high risk of manual hanging. Attached Figure Description

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0050] In related technologies, when manually attaching ropes to the top of equipment such as iron towers or high-voltage busbar structures in substations, manual rope threading requires maintenance workers to climb high-risk areas or be limited by the work space. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low work efficiency, but also poses personal safety hazards.

[0051] When performing live-line work on conductors in the middle of the span and far from the tower, the workers need to first throw the guide rope over the conductor, then use the guide rope to pull the rope ladder to the work point, and then climb the rope ladder to carry out the work. Overhead lines are often tens or hundreds of meters in the air. This manual rope throwing is difficult to complete and has a high risk factor and low work efficiency.

[0052] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a cover is installed to protect the traction rope and drive assembly, and also facilitates connection to a drone. This allows the drone to lift the rope threader to a preset height. By incorporating the drive assembly and traction rope, the drive assembly moves the traction rope when the rope threader reaches the preset height. A counterweight allows the counterweight to move downwards under its own weight, thus moving the traction rope downwards. This reduces the traction rope's swaying in the air and allows it to be wound around a preset installation position. This significantly improves the efficiency of traction rope installation, eliminates the need for manual climbing to the preset height, reduces the risk compared to traditional manual hanging points, and protects the operator's safety.

[0053] Therefore, the rope threading device provided in this application can solve the problems of low efficiency and high risk of manual hanging.

[0054] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this application embodiment provides a rope threader, including: a cover 100, a traction rope 200, a drive assembly 300, and a counterweight 400. The cover 100 is used to connect an external drone 10. The cover 100 has a placement cavity 101 and an opening 102 communicating with the placement cavity 101. The first end of the traction rope 200 is disposed in the placement cavity 101, and the second end of the traction rope 200 is disposed outside the cover 100 through the opening 102. The drive assembly 300 is disposed in the placement cavity 101 and is connected to the traction rope 200 in a transmission manner. The drive device is used to drive the traction rope 200 to move. The counterweight 400 is connected to the second end.

[0056] The following sections provide a detailed description of the specific structure of the rope threader and the flight traction device, as well as various possible implementation methods.

[0057] It should be noted that the preset installation position 20 can be a load-bearing beam, a rope hole, a sliding surface, or other components that can support the traction rope 200. There are no restrictions here, and it can be selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0058] It should be noted that the drive assembly 300 is used to drive the traction rope 200 to move. The drive assembly 300 can drive the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 to move to the outside of the cover 100 through the opening 102, or the drive assembly 300 can drive the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 to move, and drive the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 to enter the placement cavity 101 through the opening 102.

[0059] It should be noted that when the drive assembly 300 drives the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 to move to the outside of the cover 100 through the opening 102, the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 can move toward the preset installation position 20.

[0060] It should be noted that the drive assembly 300 drives the traction rope 200 inside the placement cavity 101 to move, and drives the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 to enter the placement cavity 101 through the opening 102. The length of the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 can be adjusted, and the counterweight 400 can also be pulled to reduce the chance of the counterweight 400 falling off before the cover 100 is lifted to the preset height by the drone 10.

[0061] Understandably, before the drone 10 moves the cover 100 to the preset height, the drive assembly 300 drives the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 to move, and drives the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 to enter the placement cavity 101 through the opening 102. In this case, the counterweight 400 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the cover 100. When the drone 10 moves the cover 100 to the preset height, the drive assembly 300 drives the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 to move to the outside of the cover 100 through the opening 102, so that the traction rope 200 can be wound around the preset installation position 20.

[0062] It should be noted that the counterweight 400 can be a plastic counterweight, a cast iron counterweight, a stone counterweight, or other components that can serve as counterweights. There are no restrictions on the type of counterweight and it can be selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0063] The drive assembly 300 provided in the embodiments of this application includes a drive member 301 and a rotating member 302. The drive member 301 has a mounting end and an output shaft. The mounting end is connected to the inner wall of the cover 100. The rotating member 302 is fixedly connected to the output shaft. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating member 302 abuts against the traction rope 200.

[0064] It is understood that the driving component 301 can drive the rotating component 302 to rotate. When the rotating component 302 rotates, it can drive the traction rope 200 to move, so that the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 can move to the outside of the cover 100 through the opening 102, or the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 can be stored in the placement cavity 101 after passing through the opening 102.

[0065] It should be noted that the driving component 301 can be a motor, electric motor or other device that can drive the rotating component 302 to rotate. There are no restrictions here, and it can be selected according to the actual use requirements.

[0066] It should be noted that the rotating component 302 can be a pressure roller, a rubber wheel, or other device that can rotate under the drive of the driving component 301. There are no restrictions here, and it can be selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0067] In one embodiment, the driving component 301 is a motor, and the rotating component 302 is a pressure roller, which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor.

[0068] It is understandable that the motor can drive the pressure roller to rotate. When the pressure roller rotates, it can drive the traction rope 200 to move, so that the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 can move to the outside of the cover 100 through the opening 102, or the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 can be put into the placement cavity 101 after passing through the opening 102.

[0069] The rope threader provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: a rope pressing assembly 500, which is disposed in the placement cavity 101 and connected to the traction rope 200. The rope pressing assembly 500 and the rotating member 302 are spaced apart along the radial direction of the traction rope 200 to form a placement gap, and the traction rope 200 is disposed in the placement gap.

[0070] It is understandable that by setting the rope pressing assembly 500, the moving friction of the traction rope 200 can be increased, thereby slowing down the moving speed of the traction rope 200, so that the traction rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 can move more smoothly through the opening 102 to the outside of the cover 100, or the traction rope 200 outside the cover 100 can move more smoothly after passing through the opening 102 and being stored in the placement cavity 101.

[0071] It should be noted that the rope pressing assembly 500 includes a spring 501 and an abutment 502. The spring 501 is connected to the inner wall of the cover 100. One end of the abutment 502 is connected to the spring 501, and the other end of the abutment 502 is connected to the traction rope 200. The abutment 502 is located on the side of the spring 501 away from the cover 100.

[0072] Understandably, by setting the spring 501, the abutment 502 can be moved towards the side closer to the rotating member 302, so that the traction rope 200 can be clamped between the abutment 502 and the rotating member 302. The spring 501 can also move the abutment 502 away from the rotating member 302 to absorb the impact and vibration of the rope threader, thereby providing safety protection for the rope threader.

[0073] The rope threader provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: a spool 600, which is rotatably disposed in the placement cavity 101, and a traction rope 200 is wound around the outer ring of the spool 600.

[0074] Understandably, by setting up the reel 600, the traction rope 200 can be stored to reduce the occurrence of knots in the placement cavity 101.

[0075] The cover 100 provided in the embodiments of this application includes: a bottom compartment 103 and a cover 104. The cover 104 is disposed in the bottom compartment 103. The bottom compartment 103 and the cover 104 enclose a placement cavity 101. An opening 102 is disposed in at least one of the bottom compartment 103 and / or the cover 104.

[0076] Understandably, by providing the bottom compartment 103 and the hatch cover 104, it is convenient to install the towing rope 200 in the placement cavity 101 for storage.

[0077] It should be noted that the bottom compartment 103 and the hatch cover 104 are detachably connected. For example, the bottom compartment 103 and the hatch cover 104 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, or the bottom compartment 103 and the hatch cover 104 can be connected by bolts. There are no restrictions here, and the choice can be made according to the actual use requirements.

[0078] Understandably, the bottom compartment 103 and the hatch cover 104 are detachably connected. When the bottom compartment 103 and the hatch cover 104 are detached, it is convenient to install the towing rope 200 and to inspect the drive assembly 300 and the rope pressing assembly 500. When the bottom compartment 103 and the hatch cover 104 are connected, the drive assembly 300 and the rope pressing assembly 500 can be protected. In addition, it allows the rope threader to be connected to the UAV 10 so that the rope threader can be lifted to a preset height by the UAV 10.

[0079] It should be noted that the opening 102 can be opened in the bottom compartment 103, or the opening 102 can be opened in the hatch cover 104, or the bottom compartment 103 has a first opening 102 end and the hatch cover 104 has a second opening 102 end, and the first opening 102 end and the second opening 102 end surround each other to form the opening 102. The specific setting position of the opening 102 is not limited and can be selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0080] It is understandable that the above implementation method can improve the flexibility of setting the opening 102.

[0081] The hatch 104 provided in the embodiments of this application has a traction part at one end away from the bottom compartment 103, and the traction part is used to attach an external drone 10.

[0082] Understandably, by setting up a traction unit, the rope threader can be connected to the drone 10, so that the rope threader can be lifted to a preset height by the drone 10.

[0083] It should be noted that the traction unit can be a hook, suction cup, gripper or other device that can serve a connecting function, and there are no restrictions. It can be selected according to the actual use requirements.

[0084] In one embodiment, the traction unit is a hook, which is attached to the drone 10.

[0085] It is understandable that by setting up hooks, the rope threader and the drone 10 can be easily disassembled and installed, thereby improving the efficiency of installation and disassembly between the rope threader and the drone 10. In addition, when the hook is attached to the drone 10, the drone 10 can drive the rope threader to move to a preset height, thereby reducing the difficulty of manual hanging. Moreover, the rope threader provided in this application can more safely hang the traction rope 200 at the preset installation position 20.

[0086] The rope threader provided in the embodiments of this application further includes: a placement component, which is disposed in at least one of the bottom compartment 103 and / or the hatch cover 104, and is used to open or close the opening 102.

[0087] Understandably, when the placement component opens the opening 102, the traction rope 200 can easily move through the opening 102 to the outside of the placement cavity 101. When the placement component closes the opening 102, the placement component can limit the movement of the opening 102. Before the drone 10 drives the rope threader to move to the preset height, the placement component can reduce the occurrence of the traction rope 200 coming off due to the placement cavity 101, thereby making the connection between the traction rope 200 and the placement cavity 101 more stable.

[0088] It should be noted that when the opening 102 can be opened in the lower compartment 103, the placement component is located in the lower compartment 103, and the placement component is used to open or close the opening 102.

[0089] It should be noted that when the opening 102 can be opened on the hatch 104, the placement component is located on the hatch 104, and the placement component is used to open or close the opening 102.

[0090] It should be noted that when the bottom compartment 103 has a first opening 102 end and the hatch cover 104 has a second opening 102 end, and the first opening 102 end and the second opening 102 end surround to form an opening 102, the placement component is located between the hatch cover 104 and the bottom compartment 103, and is connected to the first opening 102 end and the second opening 102 end respectively. The placement component is used to open or close the opening 102.

[0091] The placement components provided in the embodiments of this application include: an electric door and a control unit. The electric door is located in at least one of the bottom compartment 103 and / or the hatch cover 104, and covers the opening 102. The control unit is electrically connected to the electric door and is used to control the electric door to open or close the opening 102.

[0092] Understandably, by setting up an electric door and control components, it is easy to open or close the opening 102. When the electric door opens the opening 102, the towing rope 200 can pass through the opening 102 and move to the outside of the placement cavity 101 to be hung at the preset installation position 20. When the electric door closes the opening 102, the electric door and the bottom compartment 103 or the hatch cover 104 can cooperate to clamp the towing rope 200, so as to reduce the occurrence of the towing rope 200 coming off the placement cavity 101 before the UAV 10 moves the rope threader to the preset height, thereby making the connection between the towing rope 200 and the placement cavity 101 more stable.

[0093] It should be noted that when the opening 102 is located in the lower compartment 103, the electric door is connected to the lower compartment 103; when the opening 102 is located in the hatch cover 104, the electric door is connected to the hatch cover 104. When the lower compartment 103 has a first opening 102 end and the hatch cover 104 has a second opening 102 end, and the first opening 102 end and the second opening 102 end surround to form the opening 102, one end of the electric door is connected to the lower compartment 103 and the other end of the electric door is connected to the hatch cover 104. The setting position of the electric door only needs to ensure that it is the same as the setting position of the opening 102.

[0094] It should be noted that the connection between the electric door and the opening 102 can be either rotatably connected to the opening 102 or movablely connected to the opening 102. There are no restrictions here, and the choice can be made according to actual usage requirements.

[0095] It should be noted that the number of electric gates can be 1, 2, 3, or any other number greater than or equal to 1. There is no restriction on the number of gates, and the selection can be made according to actual usage needs.

[0096] In one embodiment, two electric doors are provided. Along the length of the towing rope 200, the electric doors are located in the lower compartment 103. The two electric doors are rotatably connected to the lower compartment 103. When the electric doors open the opening 102, the open ends of the two electric doors face each other along the length of the towing rope 200. When the electric doors close the opening 102, the two electric doors are connected.

[0097] Furthermore, two control units can be set up, with each control unit and the two electric doors having a corresponding conductive connection. The two control units can simultaneously control the two electric doors to open or close the opening 102.

[0098] It is understood that, through the above implementation method, when the two electric doors are opened at the same time, the friction between the towing rope 200 and the bottom compartment 103 can be reduced, thereby accelerating the speed at which the towing rope 200 is released from the placement cavity 101, and shortening the time it takes for the towing rope 200 to be hung to the preset installation position 20.
