Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of live-line working equipment for power distribution networks, specifically to a human-machine collaborative dual-arm auxiliary robotic arm system and working method for live-line working in power distribution networks. Background Technology

[0002] Live-line work on power distribution networks is a core operational method to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the power grid. The existing mainstream operation modes are divided into two categories: short pole operation mode and robot operation mode. Both of these modes have significant technical defects.

[0003] The short-pole operation method relies on an insulated bucket truck and a short insulated pole, allowing workers to directly hold the pole to perform delicate operations such as cable alignment, insulation stripping, and surge arrester installation. While this method offers a short transmission chain and fast response, it requires workers to maintain a suspended position at height for extended periods in confined spaces or complex obstructions, resulting in extremely high labor intensity. Furthermore, the uncontrollable tremors caused by manual operation pose safety hazards, and tool compatibility and operational efficiency are significantly limited.

[0004] Existing power distribution network operation robots possess multi-degree-of-freedom and automated operation capabilities, which can reduce the safety risks of direct human operation to a certain extent. However, these robots have poor adaptability to unstructured working environments, and their operation paths often rely on offline planning and complex perception systems, resulting in insufficient fault tolerance. In addition, the robot systems are expensive, bulky, and have high deployment and maintenance costs, making it impossible to widely promote and apply them on the working buckets of ordinary insulated bucket trucks.

[0005] Given the shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a collaborative auxiliary operation equipment that can retain the core advantages of "human participation in decision-making and precise control" in the short pole operation method, while also sharing the heavy load and repetitive labor through mechanical structures, ultimately improving the safety and efficiency of the operation.

[0016] A method for operating a human-machine collaborative dual-arm assisted robotic arm system for live-line working in power distribution networks includes the following steps:

[0017] S1. System Installation:

[0018] The support plate for the fixed installation structure is laid horizontally on the top surface of the working bucket of the insulated bucket truck. A triangular stable support surface is formed by the rectangular tube support. The G-clamp adjusting nut of the heavy-duty G-clamp is rotated to drive the upper clamping part to move closer to the fixed lower clamping part, clamping the support plate and the edge of the working bucket of the insulated bucket truck. The hexagonal rotating tube is rotated to drive the two positive and negative threaded screws to feed towards each other along the bearing seat, so that the first circular foot pad is pressed against the inner wall of both sides of the working bucket of the insulated bucket truck. The hexagonal screw of the guide clamping component is rotated, and the push plate is driven to feed along the slide rail 1 through the threaded engagement of the threaded bushing. This causes the second circular foot pad at the front end of the hexagonal screw and the round rod to press against the inner wall of the front end of the working bucket of the insulated bucket truck, completing the multi-directional clamping and fixing.

[0019] S2. Equipment debugging:

[0020] Select the automatic operation tool according to the operation requirements and install it on the end of the insulating rod through the quick-release buckle structure; start the clamping motor of the fixture, drive the lead screw to rotate, drive the slider connecting pad and connecting bracket to move, so that the V-shaped roller self-centers and clamps the insulating rod; the operator pulls the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm to verify the force signal acquisition accuracy of the six-dimensional force control sensor and the action response of the robotic arm; debug the load-bearing arm system through the remote terminal, start motor one, motor two, motor three and the motor to ensure that the pitch, rotation, extension and retraction of the linear module two and the rotation of the insulating rod two are precise and controllable;

[0021] S3, Dual-arm coordinated operation:

[0022] The operator continuously pulls the dexterous arm system, using automated tools to perform precise actions such as cable alignment, insulation stripping, or surge arrester installation; a six-dimensional force control sensor collects hand force signals in real time, and the dexterous arm system amplifies human force and filters out posture tremors; at the same time, the operator controls the load-bearing arm system via remote control, with the second insulating rod undertaking heavy-load support, lifting, and high-torque auxiliary operations. The dexterous arm system and the load-bearing arm system complete live-line work through the coordinated distribution of spatial position and force.

[0023] S4. System Disassembly:

[0024] After the operation is completed, rotate the hexagonal screw and hexagonal rotating tube in the opposite direction to detach the two circular foot pads and one circular foot pad from the inner wall of the insulated bucket truck. Rotate the G-clamp adjusting nut in the opposite direction to loosen the heavy-duty G-clamp and disassemble the installation and fixing structure, the dexterous arm system and the load-bearing arm system from the insulated bucket truck's working bucket and store them separately.

[0025] Preferably, in step S3, when the automatic working tool is a wire stripper, motors one, two, and three of the support arm system are first started via remote control command. The position of the insulating rod two is adjusted and it is aligned with the cable to be worked on. The motor is started to drive the insulating rod two to rotate and clamp the cable. The operator pulls the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm of the dexterous arm system, which drives the wire stripper to cut into the cable insulation layer and moves at a constant speed along the axial direction to complete the stripping of the insulation layer. When the automatic working tool is a surge arrester installation tool, the operator uses the dexterous arm system to drive the surge arrester installation tool to grab the surge arrester and accurately align it with the cable terminal. The support arm system is remotely controlled to make the insulating rod two contact the fastening end of the surge arrester. The motor outputs a preset torque to assist in the fastening installation of the surge arrester.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

It retains the core advantages of human decision-making and environmental understanding, and significantly reduces the physical burden and high-torque operation risk of operators by sharing the heavy load and high torque operation tasks through the heavy-duty arm.

[0028] (2) The dual-arm auxiliary robotic arm system for live-line operation of power distribution network of the present invention adopts a multi-directional clamping design of external and internal components for installation and fixing structure. It can be directly integrated into the working bucket of the existing insulated bucket truck without modifying the bucket structure. It takes into account both lightweight and high rigidity, and can achieve quick assembly and disassembly. It is suitable for large-scale promotion and application in power distribution network operation scenarios.

[0029] (3) The dual-arm auxiliary robotic arm system for live-line operation of power distribution network of the present invention has force amplification and vibration filtering functions through the dexterous arm, which can complete fine operations such as high-precision cable alignment and stripping; the load-bearing arm has multi-degree-of-freedom motion capability, which can realize heavy load support and high torque operation.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] like Figure 1-8 As shown, this invention proposes a human-machine collaborative dual-arm assisted robotic arm system for live-line working in power distribution networks. The system includes a mounting and fixing structure 1, a dexterous arm system 2, and a load-bearing arm system 3. These components are integrated and mounted on the working bucket 4 of an insulated bucket truck. The three work together to form an integrated operational framework of "human-machine collaboration + dual-arm cooperation," retaining the ability for precise human control while also enabling heavy-duty operation assistance. Its specific structure is as follows:

[0050] (I) Installation and fixing structure:

[0051] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the mounting and fixing structure 1 serves as the mounting carrier for the entire system, used to stably fix the dexterous arm system 2 and the load-bearing arm system 3 onto the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck. It includes an external clamping component 11 and an internal clamping component 12, which work together to achieve multi-directional, high-strength clamping and fixing, taking into account both installation convenience and structural stability, without requiring modification to the structure of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck.

[0053] like Figure 2As shown, the external clamping assembly 11 includes a support plate 111, rectangular tube supports 112, and heavy-duty G-clamps 113. These components work together to achieve the external clamping function. The support plate 111 is horizontally laid on the top surface of the insulated bucket truck's working bucket 4, serving as the installation base for the dexterous boom system 2 and the load-bearing boom system 3. Its dimensions are adapted to the top surface of the insulated bucket truck's working bucket 4 to ensure a flat installation. Multiple rectangular tube supports 112 are provided, all welded between the lower end face of the support plate 111 and the outer wall of the insulated bucket truck's working bucket 4, forming a triangular stable support surface. This triangular support structure effectively improves the load-bearing capacity and stability of the support plate 111, preventing deformation under stress.

By rotating the G-clamp adjusting nut 1134, the up and down position of the movable upper clamp 1132 along the high-strength screw 1131 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance and clamping degree between the movable upper clamp 1132 and the fixed lower clamp 1133, adapting to bucket edge structures of different thicknesses, and the clamping is firm and reliable.

At the same time, in order to further improve the clamping stability, the internal clamping assembly 12 also includes a guide clamping component 126, which is used to achieve front and rear clamping and fixing inside the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck. The left and right clamping and front and rear clamping cooperate to achieve all-round internal clamping.

[0056] Specifically, two symmetrical connecting arms 121 are provided, respectively installed on the inner walls of both sides near the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck. The upper end of the connecting arm 121 is fixedly connected to the support plate 111, and the lower end extends into the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck, serving as a mounting bracket for the internal clamping assembly 12. Two threaded screws 123 are provided, with their structures adapted to each other. One threaded screw 123 has a positive thread at one end and a smooth shaft at the other end, while the other threaded screw 123 has a reverse thread at one end and a smooth shaft at the other end. The hexagonal rotating tube 122 has an internal thread. One end of the tube is threadedly fitted onto the positive thread end of the threaded screw 123, and the other end is threadedly fitted onto the reverse threaded screw 123. The reverse-threaded end of the screw can drive two forward and reverse-threaded screws 123 to move synchronously towards or away from each other by rotating the hexagonal rotating tube 122. The bearing seat 124 is fixed to the side of the connecting arm 121 facing the hexagonal rotating tube 122. The optical axis end of the forward and reverse-threaded screw 123 passes through the bearing seat 124 and slides with the bearing seat 124. The bearing seat 124 is used to guide and support the movement of the forward and reverse-threaded screw 123, ensuring that the movement of the forward and reverse-threaded screw 123 is smooth and avoids deviation. The circular foot pad 125 is fixed to the end of the optical axis end of the forward and reverse-threaded screw 123 and is used to press and fit against the inner walls of both sides of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck. The circular foot pad 125 is made of insulating and non-slip material, which can increase the friction with the bucket wall, improve the clamping stability, and avoid damage to the bucket wall.

[0057] The guide clamping component 126 includes a fixed plate 1261, a push plate 1262, a slide rail 1263, a slider 1264, a hexagonal screw 1265, a threaded bushing 1266, a round rod 1267, and a round foot pad 1268. Its specific structure and connection relationship are as follows: The fixed plate 1261 is fixedly connected between the two connecting arms 121, serving as the mounting base for the guide clamping component 126; two slide rails 1263 are provided, respectively installed on the two connecting arms 121 near the fixed plate 1261. On one end face, slide rail 1263 is arranged along the front-to-back direction; two sliders 1264 are provided, respectively mounted on the two slide rails 1263 and slidingly engaged with the slide rails 1263, allowing the sliders 1264 to slide smoothly along the slide rails 1263; push plate 1262 is parallel to fixed plate 1261, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the two sliders 1264 respectively, and the movement of sliders 1264 can drive push plate 1262 to move synchronously; hexagonal screw 1265 is installed through the middle of push plate 1262 via bearing. The hexagonal screw 1265 can rotate around its own axis; a threaded bushing 1266 is welded to the fixed plate 1261, and the rear end of the hexagonal screw 1265 is threadedly engaged with the threaded bushing 1266. By rotating the hexagonal screw 1265, the push plate 1262 can be driven to feed back and forth along the slide rail 1263 using the threaded engagement; at least two round rods 1267 are provided, which are parallel and symmetrically installed on both sides of the hexagonal screw 1265. The round rods 1267 are fixed through the push plate 1262 and fixed to the fixed plate 1261. 1. The round rod 1267 is used to guide the movement of the push plate 1262 and prevent the push plate 1262 from tilting or deviating during its movement. The hexagonal screw 1265 and the front end of the round rod 1267 are both equipped with a second round foot pad 1268. The second round foot pad 1268 is made of the same material as the first round foot pad 125. By rotating the hexagonal screw 1265, the second round foot pad 1268 can be pushed to press and fit against the inner wall of the front end of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck, so as to achieve clamping and fixing in the front and rear directions.

[0058] (II) Dexterous Arm System:

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the dexterous arm system 2 adopts a pure force-controlled human-machine collaborative mode. Its core function is to complete precision tasks such as cable alignment, insulation stripping, and surge arrester installation. It retains the decision-making ability and precision control advantages of human operation while amplifying human strength and filtering out posture vibrations, thus reducing the physical burden and operational difficulty for workers. It includes a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21, a six-dimensional force control sensor 22, and a gripper 23. Furthermore, to adapt to different operational needs, the dexterous arm system 2 also includes an insulating rod 24 and an automated work tool 25. All components work together to achieve precision operation functions.

[0060] Specifically, the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21, serving as the motion carrier of the dexterous arm system 2, possesses multi-degree-of-freedom flexible movement capabilities, adaptable to complex workspaces. One end is fixed to the support plate 111 of the mounting and fixing structure 1, while the other end is used to mount a six-dimensional force control sensor 22. The six-dimensional force control sensor 22, fixed to the end of the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21, is used to collect real-time force signals from the operator's hand, transmitting the signals to the control system to control the movement of the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21, achieving force-controlled coordination. The clamp 23 is bolted to the six-dimensional force control sensor 22, ensuring a secure connection and facilitating disassembly and maintenance. It is used to clamp and fix the insulating rod 24. The insulating rod 24, clamped and fixed by the clamp 23, is made of high-strength insulating material to ensure safety during live-line work. The automatic working tool 25 is detachably mounted on the end of the insulating rod 24, allowing for the replacement of different tools according to operational needs, thus improving the system's versatility.

[0061] The six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21, specifically model Elite CS68F, allows the operator to move the arm by gripping the end of the insulated short rod (i.e., insulated rod 24) or directly holding the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 (during the force control phase, the robotic arm can move any joint arbitrarily). The operator applies force with their hand to pull the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21, and the six-dimensional force control sensor 22 collects the force signal from the hand in real time. The control system drives the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 to follow the movement based on the signal, achieving precise motion execution. Simultaneously, the system amplifies human strength, reducing the operator's effort burden, and filters out posture vibrations caused by manual operation, improving operational accuracy. It is particularly suitable for long-term, high-precision precision work scenarios.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, the clamp 23 is used to achieve self-centering clamping and loosening of the insulating rod 24, ensuring that the insulating rod 24 is firmly fixed and coaxial, and preventing the insulating rod 24 from shifting or shaking during operation. Its specific structure includes a fixing plate 231, a slide rail 233, a connecting component 235 and a V-shaped roller 236. In addition, it also includes a lead screw 232, a slider 234 and a clamping motor. All components work together to achieve the clamping function.

[0063] The fixing plate 231 is fixedly connected to the six-dimensional force control sensor 22 by bolts, serving as the mounting base for the clamp 23. Two parallel slide rails 233 are provided, both fixed to the end face of the fixing plate 231, arranged in a left-right direction, to provide motion guidance for the sliders 234. Each slide rail 233 has two sliders 234 installed on it, which slide smoothly along the corresponding slide rail 233. The connecting component 235 includes four slider connecting pads 2351 and four connecting brackets 2352. Four slider connecting pads 2351 are provided, each fixedly connected to one of the four sliders 234, connecting the sliders 234 to the connecting brackets 2352. Two symmetrical connecting brackets 2352 are provided, each fixedly connected to two sliders 234 on the upper and lower slide rails 233. Movement of the sliders 234 drives the connecting brackets 2352 to move synchronously. At least two sets of V-shaped rollers 236 are provided, with two rollers in each set. The two V-shaped rollers 236 in each set are respectively installed in two connecting brackets 2352. The V-shaped structure can accommodate insulating rods 24 of different diameters, ensuring the coaxiality of the insulating rods 24 when clamped. The insulating rods 24 are clamped between the two V-shaped rollers 236 in each set, and are fixed by the clamping force of the V-shaped rollers 236.

[0064] A lead screw 232 is threaded through the two slider connecting pads 2351 on at least one of the two slide rails 233. The lead screw 232 has two symmetrical external threads with opposite directions, which mesh with the threaded holes on the corresponding slider connecting pads 2351. A clamping motor is mounted on the fixing plate 231, and its output end is fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw 232. When the clamping motor drives the lead screw 232 to rotate, the two external threads of the lead screw 232 move synchronously towards or away from each other, causing the two slider connecting pads 2351 to move synchronously towards or away from each other. The movement of the slider connecting pads 2351 causes the connecting bracket 2352 to move synchronously, which in turn causes the two V-shaped rollers 236 in each group to clamp or open relative to each other, ultimately achieving the self-centering clamping or releasing of the insulating rod 24.

[0065] The automatic tool 25 includes a stripper and a surge arrester installation tool, which can be flexibly replaced according to operational needs. Both are detachably connected to the insulating rod 24 via a quick-release buckle structure. This quick-release structure facilitates rapid tool replacement, saving operation time and improving efficiency. The quick-release buckle structure includes a claw fixed to the end of the insulating rod 24 and a slot fixed to the tail of the automatic tool 25. The claw and slot engage securely and are easy to disassemble, enabling rapid replacement of the automatic tool 25. Simultaneously, a positioning structure is provided between the claw and the slot to ensure that the automatic tool 25 is coaxial with the insulating rod 24 after installation, avoiding any impact on operational accuracy.

[0066] (III) Weight-bearing arm system.

[0067] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, the lifting arm system 3 adopts a remote control operation mode. Its core function is to undertake heavy-load support, lifting, and high-torque operations, reducing the physical burden on operators. It works in conjunction with the dexterous arm system 2 to achieve dual-arm collaborative operation. It includes a dual linear module structure, possessing multi-degree-of-freedom motion capabilities such as pitch, rotation, extension, and rotation of the insulating rod. It can flexibly adjust its working position and posture to adapt to different heavy-load operation scenarios. Specifically, the lifting arm system 3 includes a support mechanism 31, linear module one 32, a connecting rod rotation assembly 33, linear module two 34, and insulating rod two 35. These components work together to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom motion and heavy-load operation functions.

[0068] The support mechanism 31 serves as the installation base for the boom system 3, used to fix components such as the linear module 32 and the connecting rod rotation assembly 33 to the mounting and fixing structure 1, ensuring the stability of the boom system 3. It includes a support plate 311 and a support base plate 312: the support plate 311 is vertically fixed to the support plate 111 and arranged in the vertical direction, used to install the linear module 32; the support base plate 312 is fixed to the outer wall of the insulated bucket truck working bucket 4 on one side of the support plate 311, and is vertically matched with the support plate 311 to form an L-shaped support structure, which improves the load-bearing capacity and stability of the support mechanism 31 and prevents the boom system 3 from shaking during operation.

[0069] Linear module 1 32 drives the linkage rotation assembly 33 to move, thereby driving linear module 2 34 to achieve pitch motion. It includes a slide rail 321, a slider 322, and a lead screw 2 323, as well as a motor 324 and a coupling 325. The slide rail 321 is arranged along the height direction of the support plate 311 and fixed to the support plate 311 and the support base plate 312, providing motion guidance for the slider 322. The slider 322 is mounted on the slide rail 321 and slides along the slide rail 321, allowing it to move along the slide rail 321. The linear module 324 moves up and down. The lead screw 2 323 is arranged along the length of the slide rail 321 and is threadedly engaged with the slider 322. The rotation of the lead screw 2 323 can drive the slider 322 to move up and down along the slide rail 321. The motor 1 324 is installed at one end of the lead screw 2 323. Its output shaft is fixedly connected to the lead screw 2 323 through the coupling 325. When the motor 1 324 starts, it drives the lead screw 2 323 to rotate through the coupling 325, thereby driving the slider 322 to move up and down along the slide rail 321, providing power for the pitching motion of the linear module 2 34.

[0070] The connecting rod rotation assembly 33 connects linear module one 32 and linear module two 34, converting the linear motion of linear module one 32 into the pitch motion of linear module two 34, and simultaneously realizing the rotational motion of linear module two 34. It includes a connecting plate 331, a bearing connecting rod 332, a bearing housing one 333, a bearing housing two 334, a motor two 335, and a reducer two 336. Bearing housing one 333 is fixed to the support base plate 312. The lower end of the connecting plate 331 is rotatably connected to the support base plate 312 via bearing housing one 333, and the connecting plate 331 can rotate relative to bearing housing one 333. One end of the bearing connecting rod 332 is hinged to the upper end of the connecting plate 331, and the other end is hinged and fixed to slider three 322. When slider three 322 moves up and down, it drives the connecting plate 331 to rotate around bearing housing one 333 via the bearing connecting rod 332. Bearing housing two 334 is a bearing structure where the inner and outer rings can rotate relative to each other. The outer ring of bearing housing two 334... The bearing is fixedly installed in the bearing mounting hole provided in the connecting plate 331, or the outer ring of the bearing housing 334 is fixedly installed on the connecting plate 331 and the outer ring of the bearing housing 334 is coaxial with the bearing mounting hole provided in the connecting plate 331. The module base plate 341 of the linear module 34 is fixedly installed on the inner ring end face of the bearing housing 334 through a flange, which can ensure that the linear module 34 is firmly fixed. The motor 335 and the reducer 336 are fixedly connected and installed on one side of the connecting plate 331. The reducer 336, which is installed on the outer side of the other end face of the inner ring of the bearing housing 334, has its output shaft passing through the bearing mounting hole of the connecting plate 331 and the center hole of the inner ring of the bearing housing 334 and then fixedly connected to the module base plate 341. When the motor 335 starts, it can drive the linear module 34 to rotate around the center axis of the inner ring of the bearing housing 334 after being reduced by the reducer 336, thereby realizing the rotary motion of the linear module 34.

[0071] When motor 324 drives slider 322 to move up and down along slide rail 321, slider 322 drives connecting plate 331 to rotate relative to bearing seat 333 through bearing connecting rod 332. The rotation of connecting plate 331 drives linear module 34 to perform pitch movement as a whole, thereby adjusting the pitch angle of insulating rod 35 to adapt to different working height requirements.

[0072] Linear module 2 34 is used to realize the telescopic movement of insulating rod 2 35. It includes module base plate 341, slide rail 4 342, slider 4 343, and lead screw 3 344. It also includes motor 3 345, guide baffle 346, motor frame 347, and motor 348. Module base plate 341 is fixedly mounted on bearing seat 2 334, serving as the mounting base of linear module 2 34. Slide rail 4 342 is fixed on module base plate 341 and arranged in the front-to-back direction to provide movement for slider 4 343. The sliding guide is a slider 343 mounted on a slide rail 342 and slidingly engaged with it, allowing it to move linearly along the slide rail 342. The lead screw 344 is arranged along the length of the slide rail 342 and threadedly engaged with the slider 343. Rotation of the lead screw 344 drives the slider 343 to move linearly along the slide rail 342, achieving telescopic movement. The motor 345 is mounted at one end of the lead screw 344, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the lead screw 344, used to drive the lead screw 344 to rotate.

[0073] A guide baffle 346 is fixed to the end of the module base plate 341 away from the motor 345. A guide hole is provided on the guide baffle 346, and the insulating rod 35 is installed through the guide hole. A sliding bearing is installed in the guide hole, and the insulating rod 35 and the sliding bearing form a clearance fit. The sliding bearing is used to guide and lubricate the movement of the insulating rod 35, ensuring that the extension, retraction and rotation of the insulating rod 35 are smooth. The motor frame 347 is fixedly installed on the slider 343 and is used to install the motor 348. The motor 348 is fixedly installed on the motor frame 347, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the insulating rod 35. When the motor 348 is started, it can drive the insulating rod 35 to rotate 360° around its own axis to achieve high torque operation. The insulating rod 35 is made of high-strength insulating material, and its other end is used to bear heavy loads or install auxiliary tools, undertaking heavy load support, lifting and high torque fastening and other operation tasks.

[0074] The boom system 3 adopts a remote control operation mode. The operator sends commands through the remote terminal to control the start and stop of motor 1 324, motor 2 335, motor 3 345 and motor 348, and then controls the pitch, rotation and extension of linear module 2 34 and the rotation of insulating rod 2 35. This enables remote control of heavy-duty operations, avoids direct contact between operators and heavy-duty components, and reduces physical burden.

[0075] The dexterous arm system 2 and the load-bearing arm system 3 achieve coordinated distribution of spatial position and force through insulated rods and end-effector tools, forming a "human-machine collaboration and dual-arm cooperation" work structure: During operation, the dexterous arm system 2 completes precise work actions under manual traction, while the load-bearing arm system 3 cooperates with the dexterous arm system 2 through remote control operation to undertake heavy-load support, lifting and high-torque auxiliary operations. The two work together to give full play to the advantages of human precision control and decision-making, while using mechanical structure to share the heavy-load labor, greatly improving the safety, stability and efficiency of operation.

[0076] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the operating state of the present invention. For example... Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the application object (insulated bucket truck working bucket 4) and the installation boundary (detachable installation and fixing structure 1) are clearly defined, which can intuitively prove that the present invention can be integrated and deployed on the existing working bucket without modifying the bucket body and supports quick assembly and disassembly, thereby enhancing the evidence of "feasibility", "adaptability" and "engineering usability". At the same time, the figure also presents the task division of "precision operation - heavy load support / high torque assistance": the dexterous boom system 2 is used for precision actions such as cable alignment and stripping, while the load-bearing boom system 3 undertakes support, lifting and high torque assistance.

[0077] Figure 8 The system includes an insulated bucket truck 100 and outriggers, an upper slewing / telescopic boom, and an insulated bucket truck working bucket 4. The working bucket 4 integrates a detachable mounting structure 1 and supports two execution units: a dexterous arm system 2 and a weight-bearing arm system 3. The six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 has a six-dimensional force control sensor 22 and a clamp 23 at its end, allowing operators to perform precise positional adjustments. This system can be used for precise alignment of cables 200 and stripping of their insulation. The weight-bearing arm system 3 has pitch, slewing, telescopic, and self-rotation capabilities of the insulating rod 35. Through the insulating rod 35 and the end tool, it provides support and torque assistance to the cable / fastening end, adapting to the close clamping and axial operation of the stripper, as well as the alignment and fastening assistance during surge arrester installation. This diagram clearly illustrates the implementation method of "two arms completing spatial position and force distribution through the insulating rod and working tools," and the positional relationship between the mounting structure, the dexterous arm, the weight-bearing arm, the insulating rod / tool, and the work object (cable / tower)."

[0078] Based on the above-described structure of a human-machine collaborative dual-arm assisted robotic arm system for live-line working in power distribution networks, this invention also discloses a working method based on the above-described human-machine collaborative dual-arm assisted robotic arm system for live-line working in power distribution networks. The core steps are as follows, ensuring convenient system installation, proper debugging, standardized operation, and safe disassembly:

[0079] S1. System Installation:

[0080] First, the support plate 111 of the mounting and fixing structure 1 is laid horizontally on the top surface of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck, ensuring that the support plate 111 is laid flat and the rectangular tube support 112 is in contact with the outer wall of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck to form a triangular stable support surface; then, the G-clamp adjusting nut 1134 of the heavy-duty G-clamp 113 is rotated to drive the upper clamping part 1132 to approach the fixed lower clamping part 1133, clamping the support plate 111 and the edge of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck, thus completing the external clamping and fixing;

[0081] Next, rotate the hexagonal rotating tube 122, and use the thread engagement between the hexagonal rotating tube 122 and the two positive and negative thread screws 123 to drive the two positive and negative thread screws 123 to feed towards each other along the bearing seat 124, so that the circular foot pad 125 is pressed and adhered to the inner walls on both sides of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck, thus completing the internal clamping in the left and right directions.

[0082] Finally, the hexagonal screw 1265 of the rotary guide clamping component 126 drives the push plate 1262 to feed along the slide rail 1263 through the threaded engagement between the hexagonal screw 1265 and the threaded bushing 1266. This causes the circular foot pads 1268 at the front end of the hexagonal screw 1265 and the round rod 1267 to press and adhere to the inner wall of the front end of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck, completing the internal clamping in the front and rear directions. Through multi-directional clamping from the outside and inside, the system is firmly fixed, preventing shaking during operation.

[0083] S2. Equipment debugging:

[0084] Based on the requirements of this operation, select the corresponding automatic operation tool 25 (stripper or surge arrester installation tool), and install the automatic operation tool 25 onto the end of the insulating rod 24 through the quick-release buckle structure, ensuring that the claws are firmly engaged with the slots and the positioning is accurate.

[0085] The clamping motor of the fixture 23 is started, driving the lead screw 232 to rotate, which in turn moves the slider connecting pad 2351 and the connecting bracket 2352, so that the V-shaped roller 236 self-centers and clamps the insulating rod 24, ensuring that the insulating rod 24 is firmly fixed and the coaxiality meets the standard. Then, the operator pulls the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 to verify the force signal acquisition accuracy of the six-dimensional force control sensor 22 and the action response of the robotic arm, ensuring that the robotic arm follows smoothly and the force control is accurate, which can effectively amplify human strength and filter posture vibration.

[0086] The load-bearing arm system 3 was debugged via remote terminal. Motor 1 324, Motor 2 335, Motor 3 345 and Motor 348 were started respectively to verify whether the pitch, rotation and extension movements of linear module 2 34 and the rotation movement of insulating rod 2 35 were accurate and controllable, ensuring that each movement was smooth and without jamming, the remote control signal transmission was stable, and the heavy load capacity met the standard. After debugging, the system entered the work preparation state.

[0087] S3, Dual-arm coordinated operation:

[0088] The operator continuously pulls the dexterous arm system 2, using the automatic work tool 25 to complete precise actions such as cable alignment, insulation stripping, or surge arrester installation. During this process, the six-dimensional force control sensor 22 collects the hand force signal in real time. The dexterous arm system 2 amplifies the human force and filters out posture vibrations to ensure work accuracy. At the same time, the operator controls the load-bearing arm system 3 through remote control commands. The insulating rod 35 undertakes heavy-load support, lifting, and high-torque auxiliary work. The dexterous arm system 2 and the load-bearing arm system 3 complete the live-line work through the coordinated distribution of spatial position and force.

[0089] When the automatic tool 25 is a cable stripper, the operation process is as follows: First, the motors 324, 335, and 345 of the support arm system 3 are started by remote control command. The position of the insulating rod 35 is adjusted and it is made to fit the cable to be stripped. Then, the motor 348 is started to drive the insulating rod 35 to rotate and clamp the cable, providing stable support for the stripping operation. The operator pulls the six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 21 of the dexterous arm system 2 to drive the stripper to cut into the cable insulation layer and move at a constant speed along the axial direction to complete the stripping of the insulation layer. During the stripping process, the support arm system 3 keeps the cable fixed and the dexterous arm system 2 ensures the stripping accuracy.

[0090] When the automatic work tool 25 is used as a surge arrester installation tool, the work process is as follows: The operator uses the dexterous arm system 2 to drive the surge arrester installation tool to grab the surge arrester and accurately align it with the cable terminal; then, the operator remotely controls the load-bearing arm system 3 to adjust the position of the insulating rod 35 so that it contacts the fastening end of the surge arrester; the operator starts the motor 348 to output the preset torque to assist in completing the fastening installation of the surge arrester. During this process, the dexterous arm system 2 maintains accurate alignment, and the load-bearing arm system 3 undertakes the high-torque fastening operation, reducing the physical burden on the operator.

[0091] S4. System Disassembly:

[0092] After the operation is completed, first rotate the hexagonal screw 1265 in the opposite direction to drive the push plate 1262 to move backward, so that the circular foot pad 1268 is separated from the inner wall of the front end of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck; then rotate the hexagonal rotating tube 122 in the opposite direction to drive the two positive and negative thread screws 123 to move back and forth, so that the circular foot pad 125 is separated from the inner walls on both sides of the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck.

[0093] Finally, rotate the G-clamp adjusting nut 1134 in the opposite direction to loosen the heavy-duty G-clamp 113, release the external clamping fixation, and remove the installation and fixing structure 1, the dexterous arm system 2 and the load-bearing arm system 3 as a whole from the working bucket 4 of the insulated bucket truck. Then, clean, inspect and store them separately for easy use next time.

[0094] This invention discloses a human-machine collaborative dual-arm assisted robotic arm system for live-line work in power distribution networks. It adopts a dual-arm collaborative architecture of "dexterous arm + weight-bearing arm," balancing the needs of precision operation and heavy-duty work. The dexterous arm system 2 retains the advantages of human decision-making and precise control, achieving high-precision operation through a pure force-controlled human-machine collaborative mode, while amplifying human strength, filtering posture vibrations, and reducing the physical burden on operators. The weight-bearing arm system 3 is remotely controlled, undertaking heavy-duty support, lifting, and high-torque operations. The two systems work together to solve the technical problems of high labor intensity and safety risks in traditional short-pole operations, as well as the poor adaptability and high cost of existing robots.

[0095] The present invention discloses a human-machine collaborative dual-arm auxiliary robotic arm system for live-line work in power distribution networks. The installation and fixing structure 1 is reasonably designed, highly adaptable, and highly stable. It adopts a multi-directional clamping method with external clamping component 11 and internal clamping component 12, which eliminates the need to modify the existing insulated bucket truck working bucket 4 structure, and can quickly realize the installation and disassembly of the system, making deployment convenient.
