Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of de-icing devices, and more particularly to a de-icing device for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage cables, as the core carriers of power transmission, are widely distributed in areas with complex terrain, such as plains, mountains, and high altitudes. In winter, under conditions of low temperature, high humidity, and light winds, ice easily forms on the cable surface. The ice layer gradually thickens as the environment remains cold. When the mechanical load on the cable and supporting towers exceeds a certain threshold, it can lead to accidents such as tower tilting and cable breakage, resulting in regional power outages and severely impacting industrial production, residential life, and emergency response. Currently, drones equipped with tools such as hammers and ice scrapers are used to remove ice from cable surfaces. However, this method requires drone operators to control the drone's movement and maintain a specific attitude to remove the ice.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments described are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 8As shown, a de-icing device for a drone according to the present invention includes: a support assembly 2, including a limiting frame 23, the limiting frame 23 including a first limiting plate 25 and a second limiting plate 251, the first limiting plate 25 and the second limiting plate 251 forming a limiting space; a moving assembly 3, including a connecting frame and a first rolling element 33, the first rolling element 33 being rotatably connected to the connecting frame, the connecting frame being hinged to the end of the first limiting plate 25, and the connecting frame also being able to abut against the end of the second limiting plate 251, the connecting frame being connected to a baffle 36, the baffle 36 being able to be located within the limiting space; and a plugging assembly 7, connected to the limiting frame 23, the plugging assembly 7 including a movable locking block 7. 7. The locking block 77 can engage with the baffle 36; the de-icing assembly includes a vibration mechanism 5 and a second rolling element 6. The vibration mechanism 5 includes a movable frame, a first elastic element 57, a second elastic element 53, and a vibration block 54. The movable frame is hinged to the limiting frame 23. The two ends of the first elastic element 57 are respectively connected to the movable frame and the limiting frame 23. The two ends of the second elastic element 53 are respectively connected to the movable frame and the vibration block 54. The second rolling element 6 is rotatably connected to the movable frame. The end of the second rolling element 6 is connected to a striking element 62. The striking end of the striking element 62 can abut against the vibration block 54. A clamping space is formed between the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6.
[0030] In this embodiment, a de-icing device for a drone is described. During de-icing, a limiting frame 23 is connected to a drone 8. The drone 8 drives the de-icing device to rise, causing the cable 9 to be de-iced to abut against a baffle 36. The de-icing device continues to rise, causing the connecting frame to rotate until it abuts against a second limiting plate 251. At this point, the cable 9 to be de-iced passes through the limiting space, and both the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6 abut against the cable 9. Then, a locking block 77 engages with the baffle 36, fixing the baffle 36 and the limiting frame 23. The drone 8 then drives the de-icing device to move along the cable 9 to be de-iced, causing both the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6 to rotate. Simultaneously, the striking element 62 rotates, causing its striking end to abut against a vibrating block 54. At this point, the second elastic element 53 causes the vibrating block 54 to vibrate, thereby causing the movable frame to vibrate through the first elastic element 57. This causes the second rolling element 6 to continuously strike the cable, breaking the ice on the cable. Through the cooperation of the baffle 36 and the connecting frame, the drone 8 drives the de-icing device to move up and down, allowing the cable 9 to be de-iced to pass through the limiting space and be clamped between the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6. This allows the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6 to guide the movement of the de-icing device, facilitating the operation of the drone 8. Through the cooperation of the striking element 62 and the vibrating block 54, and the connection between the limiting frame 23 and the movable frame through the first elastic element 57, the second rolling element 6 can drive the striking element 62 to abut against the vibrating block 54 during rotation. The vibrating block 54 can generate vibration, which in turn causes the movable frame to vibrate. The second rolling element 6 can continuously strike the cable, causing the ice to fall off. The way the second rolling element 6 strikes the cable can avoid scratching the side wall of the cable, thereby preventing damage to the cable during the de-icing process.
[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support assembly 2 includes a limiting frame 23, which includes a first limiting plate 25 and a second limiting plate 251. The plane of the first limiting plate 25 and the plane of the second limiting plate 251 form an acute angle, making the cross-sections of the first limiting plate 25 and the second limiting plate 251 V-shaped. The first limiting plate 25 and the second limiting plate 251 together form a limiting space for limiting the cable 9 to be de-iced.
[0032] The movable component 3 includes a connecting frame and a first rolling element 33. The connecting frame includes two parallel first mounting plates 32 arranged opposite to each other, connected by a connecting plate 31 located at the top of the connecting frame. The first rolling element 33 is located between the two first mounting plates 32, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the first mounting plates 32. The first rolling element 33 is cylindrical and made of rubber. A first connecting shaft 35 is connected to the bottom center of one of the first mounting plates 32 in the connecting frame. The first connecting shaft 35 passes through the top end of the first limiting plate 25, thereby hinged the connecting frame to the end of the first limiting plate 25. During the rotation of the connecting frame, the first mounting plate 32 in the connecting frame away from the first connecting shaft 35 can abut against the end of the second limiting plate 251. A baffle 36 is connected to the connecting frame, and the baffle 36 can be located within the limiting space. Specifically, the first connecting shaft 35 passes through one end of the baffle 36. The baffle 36 is composed of two blocking parts with an obtuse angle. The end of the baffle 36 is connected to the first mounting plate 32, so that the connecting frame can be rotated by moving the baffle 36. The first limiting plate 25 is provided with a first clearance groove 27 corresponding to the moving path of the baffle 36, and the second limiting plate 251 is provided with a second clearance groove 271 corresponding to the position of the first clearance groove 27. By rotating the connecting frame, the baffle 36 can be located in the first clearance groove 27. At this time, the connecting frame abuts against the end of the second limiting plate 251, and the moving component 3 is in a closed state.
[0033] A limiting block 26 is provided on the side of the first limiting plate 25 away from the second limiting plate 251, and the limiting block 26 is located near the top of the first limiting plate 25. The limiting block 26 is magnetic and can be regarded as a magnet. The connecting frame is made of a metal material that can be attracted by a magnet, as shown in the figure. Figure 10 As shown, when the connecting frame abuts against the limiting block 26, the limiting block 26 can attract the connecting frame, thereby fixing the position of the connecting frame. At this time, the moving component 3 is in the open state. The setting of the limiting block 26 can limit the extreme rotation position of the connecting frame and also prevent the connecting frame from rotating due to vibration during the movement of the de-icing device.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the insertion assembly 7 is connected to the limiting frame 23. The insertion assembly 7 includes a movable locking block 77, which can engage with the baffle 36. Specifically, the insertion assembly 7 includes a second driving member 71, which is a linear driving member and can be considered as an electric push rod mechanism. The second driving member 71 is connected to the side wall of the first limiting plate 25, and the locking block 77 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 71. The side wall of the baffle 36 is provided with a positioning hole 37. When the baffle 36 is located in the first clearance groove 27, the locking block 77 can engage with the positioning hole 37. Specifically, the first limiting plate 25 has a receiving groove 28 on one side near the moving path of the baffle 36. The plug-in assembly 7 also includes a connecting rod 74 and a third elastic element 76, which can be regarded as a spring. The connecting rod 74 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 71. The bottom of the receiving groove 28 has a through hole 29, through which the connecting rod 74 passes. The locking block 77 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 74 away from the second driving member 71, and the locking block 77 can be located inside the receiving groove 28. The third elastic element 76 is sleeved on the connecting rod 74 and is located inside the receiving groove 28. The two ends of the third elastic element 76 are respectively connected to the locking block 77 and the bottom of the receiving groove 28. When the third elastic element 76 is in the normal state, the locking block 77 is located outside the receiving groove 28. At this time, the locking block 77 is engaged with the positioning hole 37 of the baffle 36, fixing the position of the baffle 36 and locking the plug-in assembly 7. When the baffle 36 needs to move, the second drive member 71 drives the locking block 77 to move, so that the locking block 77 is located in the receiving groove 28. At this time, the third elastic member 76 is compressed, and the plug-in assembly 7 is in the unlocked state. The plug-in assembly 7 also includes a guide member 72, which includes a guide groove. The end of the connecting rod 74 away from the locking block 77 is connected to a guide block 75. The guide block 75 is slidably connected to the guide groove. The edge of the open end of the guide member 72 is connected to a stop block 73. The guide block 75 can abut against the stop block 73. The stop block 73 is used to restrict the movement path of the guide block 75 and prevent the guide block 75 from disengaging from the guide groove. There is a gap between the guide block 75 and the side wall of the guide groove. The output end of the second drive member 71 is connected to the guide member 72. The width of the locking block 77 gradually decreases in the direction away from the third elastic member 76, so that the locking block 77 is wedge-shaped as a whole, thereby guiding the locking block 77 during the locking process with the positioning hole 37. By setting the guide member 72, the third elastic member 76 drives the locking block 77 to disengage from the receiving groove 28. The third elastic member 76 can be offset radially by a certain distance, so that the locking block 77 can also engage with the positioning hole 37 when there is a certain offset between the locking block 77 and the positioning hole 37.
[0035] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the de-icing assembly includes a vibration mechanism 5 and a second rolling element 6. The vibration mechanism 5 includes a movable frame, a first elastic element 57, a second elastic element 53, and a vibration block 54. The movable frame is hinged to the limiting frame 23. Specifically, the support assembly 2 also includes a connecting seat 21, which is connected to the bottom end of the support frame. A first connecting block 22 is connected to the side wall of the connecting seat 21. The movable frame includes two parallel second mounting plates 52 arranged opposite to each other. A second connecting shaft 55 is connected between the two second mounting plates 52. The second connecting shaft 55 passes through the first connecting block 22 and is rotatably connected to the first connecting block 22, thereby allowing the movable frame to be hinged to the limiting frame 23 via the connecting seat 21. The first elastic element 57 can be considered as a tension spring, and its two ends are connected to the movable frame and the limiting frame 23, respectively. Specifically, a third connecting shaft 56 is connected between the two second mounting plates 52, and the vibration mechanism 5 also includes a fourth connecting shaft 51. A second connecting block 24 is connected to the bottom side wall of the limiting frame 23, and the fourth connecting shaft 51 is connected to the second connecting block 24. The two ends of the first elastic member 57 are annular and respectively sleeved on the third connecting shaft 56 and the fourth connecting shaft 51, so that the two ends of the first elastic member 57 are respectively connected to the movable frame and the limiting frame 23. The second rolling member 6 is cylindrical in shape and rotatably connected between the two second mounting plates 52. Specifically, the two ends of the second rolling member 6 are connected to a fifth connecting shaft 61, which passes through the second mounting plate 52 and is rotatably connected to the second mounting plate 52. The two ends of the second elastic member 53 are respectively connected to the movable frame and the vibration block 54. A striking member 62 is connected to the end of the second rolling member 6, and the striking member 62 is connected to the end of the fifth connecting shaft 61. The rotation of the second rolling element 6 causes the striking end of the striking element 62 to abut against the vibrating block 54. Since the vibrating block 54 is connected to the second elastic element 53, the vibrating block 54 can vibrate, thereby causing the movable frame to vibrate through the first elasticity. Both ends of the second rolling element 6 are connected to the striking element 62, and both second mounting plates 52 are connected to the vibrating block 54 through the second elastic element 53. The movable frame is connected to multiple second elastic elements 53, and the striking element 62 includes multiple striking ends. The striking element 62 is located between multiple second elastic elements 53, so that the striking element 62 can abut against multiple vibrating blocks 54 simultaneously, thereby increasing the vibration amplitude of the movable frame. In this embodiment, the axial cross-section of the striking element 62 is T-shaped, and two vibrating blocks 54 arranged opposite each other are connected around the striking element 62 through two second elastic elements 53.
[0036] A clamping space is formed between the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6. Specifically, the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6 can simultaneously abut against the cable 9 to be de-iced, thereby clamping the cable 9 within the clamping space. Preferably, the first rolling element 33 has a first groove circumferentially located at the middle of its side wall, and the second rolling element 6 has a second groove corresponding to the first groove circumferentially located on its side wall. The first and second grooves can simultaneously engage with the side wall of the cable 9 to be de-iced, thereby ensuring stability of the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6 as they move along the cable 9. Preferably, the connecting frame connects at least two first rolling elements 33, and at least two de-icing components are connected to the support component 2. In the de-icing components, the second rolling element 6 corresponds to the position of the first rolling element 33. In this embodiment, the connecting frame connects two first rolling elements 33, the baffle 36 is located between the two first rolling elements 33, and the two de-icing components are connected to the opposite sides of the support component 2, thereby making the de-icing device more stable as it moves along the cable 9.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the de-icing device for drones also includes a drive assembly 4, which includes a first drive component 41 and a transmission component 42. The first drive component 41 is a rotary drive component, which can be considered as a motor. The transmission component 42 can be considered as a synchronous belt. The first drive component 41 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 31 in the connecting frame. The two ends of the first rolling component 33 are connected to the sixth connecting shaft 34. The two sixth connecting shafts 34 are rotatably connected to the first limiting plate 25 and the second limiting plate 251, respectively. The output end of the first drive component 41 is connected to the sixth connecting shaft 34 at one end of the first rolling component 33 through the transmission component 42, so that the first drive component 41 can drive the first rolling component 33 to rotate. Thus, the de-icing device can move along the cable 9 to be de-iced without the need for the drone 8 to drive it, saving the power of the drone 8.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly 2 also includes an assembly frame 1, which is connected to the connecting seat 21. The assembly frame 1 is used to connect to the top of the drone 8, thereby allowing the drone to be connected to the drone 8 using a de-icing device. The assembly frame 1 can connect to a battery, which is connected to the first drive member 41 and the second drive member 71, thereby supplying power to the first drive member 41 and the second drive member 71.
[0039] Reference Figure 9As shown, in use, the assembly frame 1 is connected to the top side of the drone 8. The drone 8 drives the de-icing device to rise, causing the cable 9 to be de-iced to abut against the baffle 36. Then, the de-icing device continues to rise, and the cable 9 to be de-iced abuts against the baffle 36, driving the connecting frame to rotate until the connecting frame abuts against the second limiting plate 251. At this time, the cable 9 to be de-iced passes through the limiting space and abuts against the first limiting plate 25 and the second limiting plate 251. The first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6 both abut against the cable 9 to be de-iced. The baffle 36 is located in the first clearance groove 27, and the output end of the second driving element 71 approaches the baffle 36. The third elastic element 76 moves the locking block 77, causing it to engage with the positioning hole 37 of the baffle 36. At this point, the connecting frame is fixed in position. Then, the first driving element 41 drives the first rolling element 33 to rotate, causing the de-icing device to move along the cable 9 to be de-iced. Simultaneously, the second rolling element 6 rotates, thereby causing the striking element 62 to rotate, so that the striking end of the striking element 62 abuts against the vibrating block 54. The second elastic element 53 causes the vibrating block 54 to vibrate, which in turn causes the movable frame to vibrate through the first elastic element 57. This causes the second rolling element 6 to continuously strike the cable, breaking the ice on the cable 9 to be de-iced. After all the ice on the cable 9 to be de-iced is broken, the second driving element 71 moves the locking block 77 into the receiving groove 28. At this point, the movable frame can rotate, and the drone 8 lowers the de-icing device, causing the cable to disengage from the limiting space.
[0040] This invention discloses a de-icing device for drones. Through the cooperation of a baffle 36 and a connecting frame, the drone 8 drives the de-icing device to move up and down, allowing the cable 9 to be de-iced to pass through the limiting space and be clamped between the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6. This allows the first rolling element 33 and the second rolling element 6 to guide the movement of the de-icing device, facilitating the operation of the drone 8. Through the cooperation of a striking element 62 and a vibrating block 54, and the connection between the limiting frame 23 and the movable frame via a first elastic element 57, the second rolling element 6 can drive the striking element 62 to abut against the vibrating block 54 during rotation. The vibrating block 54 can generate vibration, which in turn causes the movable frame to vibrate. The second rolling element 6 can continuously impact the cable, causing the ice to fall off. The way the second rolling element 6 impacts the cable can avoid scratching the side wall of the cable, thereby preventing damage to the cable during the de-icing process. The first driving member 41 drives the first rolling member 33 to rotate, thereby enabling the first driving member 41 to drive the de-icing device to move. Thus, the de-icing device can move along the cable 9 to be de-iced without the need for the drone 8 to drive it, saving the power of the drone 8.
[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
