Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spacer installation technology, and particularly to a spacer installation assembly and a drone device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, ultra-high voltage power transmission typically involves erecting several transmission lines between two towers for power transmission. However, these transmission lines often sway under wind conditions, causing excessive tension. Over time, this tension leads to fatigue accumulation and potential line derailment. In severe cases, it can even cause the tower to collapse. Traditional methods often involve placing a fixing device between adjacent transmission lines. By securing this device, the spacing between adjacent transmission lines is fixed, increasing the overall stability of the transmission lines and reducing the frequency of swaying in individual lines.

[0003] Currently, there are drone installation solutions available on the market, but existing drone equipment has problems such as insufficient structural compactness and excessively high center of gravity during flight and installation when carrying spacer mounting components, making it difficult to control the drone's flight attitude.

[0013] Preferably, the first support leg and the side opposite to the V-shaped support leg are respectively provided with an insulating layer; the second support leg and the side opposite to the V-shaped support leg are respectively provided with an insulating layer.

[0014] The present invention also provides a drone device, including the spacer mounting assembly as described above and a drone disposed on top of the spacer mounting assembly.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the spacer mounting assembly and UAV equipment provided by the present invention have the following advantages: 1. This invention provides a spacer mounting assembly. By integrating a first clamping module and a retractable second clamping module, the second clamping module can be positioned differently during transportation and operation, resulting in a more compact structure and reducing the flight difficulty for external drones transporting the spacer mounting assembly to the power line. Simultaneously, by placing the drive module and battery module within the inner frame, the center of gravity of the entire spacer mounting assembly is located at the bottom, facilitating adjustments to the flight attitude of the external drone during spacer mounting. Specifically, the outer frame provides a support platform, and the nested design of the outer and inner frames provides rigid support, ensuring the assembly is not easily shaken during flight. The drive module and battery are located inside the inner frame, placing the center of gravity below the assembly and improving drone flight stability. The first clamping module is used to stably clamp the spacer during transportation to prevent it from falling off. The retractable nature of the second clamping module allows it to retract during transportation to reduce space occupation and extend during operation to assist in fixing the power line. The drive module uniformly controls the actions of both, ensuring stable transportation and accurate installation.

[0016] 2. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention, the first clamping module is divided into a connecting bracket and a quick-release module, which facilitates the quick replacement of different types of clamps to adapt to different types of spacers. Simultaneously, the first and second clamping components on the quick-release module, through the coordinated action of hydraulic rods and grippers, clamp the spacer in multiple directions, avoiding shaking during transportation. Specifically, the connecting bracket provides a stable base, and the quick-release module achieves one-click disassembly through the quick-release bracket; the first gripper is located at both ends of the quick-release bracket for clamping the spacer body, and the second gripper is located at the other end and cooperates with the connecting bracket to form a surrounding fixation; the first hydraulic rod drives the first gripper to rotate, and the second hydraulic rod drives the second gripper to swing; the two are controlled by the drive module to achieve synchronous action, ensuring uniform distribution of clamping force.

[0017] 3. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention, the contact method with the spacer is optimized through the arc-shaped mating surface at the bottom of the quick-release bracket, the clearance notch of the first gripper, and the roller and spring clip of the second gripper. This enhances clamping stability and facilitates quick release during installation. Specifically, the arc-shaped mating surface conforms to the curved surface at the top of the spacer, increasing friction; the clearance notch avoids interference with protruding parts such as spacer bolts; the roller reduces resistance during the movement of the second gripper; and the spring clip uses elasticity to press the movable blades of the spacer, preventing the blades from loosening, and the spring clip can automatically spring back and release during installation.

[0018] 4. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the main structure and oil port position of the first hydraulic rod and the second hydraulic rod are designed for the grippers with different force directions, so as to adapt to the motion requirements under complex installation postures.

[0019] 5. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention, the second clamping module is tilted and, in conjunction with its telescopic function, can retract to a compact state during transport by the drone, avoiding interference with the connection between the spacer and the external power line. After the drone transports the spacer mounting assembly to the external power line and completes the connection between the spacer and the external power line, the second clamping module can extend close to the spacer, thereby completing the installation of the spacer onto the external power line. Specifically, the distance between the ends of the two second clamping modules closest to the first clamping module is greater than the distance between the ends furthest away. When the second clamping module is in a retracted state, its entire assembly is located at the end of the second clamping module furthest from the first clamping module.

[0020] 6. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in the embodiments of the present invention, since the second clamping module is inclined and will be subject to greater resistance during the installation of the spacer to the external wire, the second clamping module will generate greater stress during operation. By setting a stress-absorbing component in the connector, the stress can be effectively absorbed, the loss can be reduced, and the service life of the second clamping module can be extended.

[0021] 7. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention, a fixed frame and a rotating frame are respectively provided on the inner frame. The fixed frame securely mounts the drive module, reducing the impact of vibration on the accuracy of the operation. The battery is mounted on the rotating frame, allowing for quick rotation and battery replacement, significantly shortening the downtime of operation.

[0022] 8. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in this embodiment of the invention, by setting an M-shaped side bracket, the outer frame can be directly placed on two parallel external wires, while the V-shaped support foot in the middle can separate external wires with smaller spacing, thereby completing the placement of the spacer mounting assembly; and by setting an insulating inner bracket on the top bracket to contact the external wires, a good insulation effect can be achieved; combined with the composite structure of the insulating inner bracket and the metal clamp, the assembly can be directly placed on the wires, while having excellent insulation and load-bearing capacity.

[0023] 9. In the spacer mounting assembly provided in the embodiments of the present invention, by providing an insulating layer on the adjacent surfaces of the first support foot and the V-shaped support foot, insulation from external wires can be further achieved during the placement of the spacer mounting assembly.

[0024] 10. The present invention also provides a drone device that has the same beneficial effects as the spacer rod mounting assembly described above, which will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

[0045] In ultra-high voltage power transmission, several transmission lines are typically erected between two towers for power transmission. However, these transmission lines often sway under wind conditions, causing excessive tension. Over time, this tension leads to fatigue and potential line drops. In severe cases, it can even cause the tower to collapse. Traditional methods typically involve installing spacers between adjacent transmission lines. By fixing these spacers, the spacing between adjacent transmission lines is stabilized, increasing the overall stability of the transmission line and reducing the swaying of individual lines.

[0046] Currently, there are drone installation solutions available on the market, but existing drone equipment has problems such as insufficient structural compactness and excessively high center of gravity during flight and installation when carrying spacer mounting components, making it difficult to control the drone's flight attitude.

At the same time, by setting the drive module 5 and the battery module 6 in the inner frame 2, the center of gravity of the entire spacer mounting assembly 20 is located at the bottom, which facilitates the external drone 10 to adjust its flight attitude during the spacer mounting assembly 20 process.

[0073] Understandably, in the spacer rod mounting assembly 20 provided in the embodiments of the present invention, the main structure and oil port position of the first hydraulic rod 3221 and the second hydraulic rod 3231 are designed for the grippers with different force directions, so as to adapt to the motion requirements under complex installation postures.

[0074] In one embodiment, the quick-release bracket 321 has an arc-shaped mating surface 3211 at its bottom, and the first gripper 3222 has a clearance notch 32221 at its bottom; the second gripper 3232 has a roller 32321 at its bottom, and a spring clip gripper 32322 is provided on the side of the second gripper 3232, with the spring clip gripper 32322 facing the bottom of the first gripper 3222.

[0075] Understandably, in the spacer mounting assembly 20 provided in this embodiment of the invention, the contact method with the spacer 200 is optimized through the arc-shaped mating surface 3211 at the bottom of the quick-release bracket 321, the clearance notch 32221 of the first gripper 3222, and the roller 32321 and spring clip gripper 32322 of the second gripper 3232. This enhances clamping stability and facilitates quick release during installation. Specifically, the arc-shaped mating surface 3211 fits against the top curved surface of the spacer 200, increasing friction; the clearance notch 32221 avoids interference with protruding parts such as bolts on the spacer 200; the roller 32321 reduces resistance when the second gripper 3232 moves; and the spring clip gripper 32322 uses elasticity to press the movable blades of the spacer 200 to prevent the blades from loosening, and the spring clip can automatically spring back and release during installation.

[0076] Please combine Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram showing the interaction between the second clamping module 4 and the spacer 200. Figure 10 This is a top view of the spacer mounting assembly 20 resting on the wire 300.

[0077] In one implementation, the second clamping module 4 is inclined, and the distance between the two second clamping modules 4 near the end of the first clamping module 3 is greater than the distance between the two second clamping modules 4 away from the first clamping module 3.

[0078] Understandably, in the spacer mounting assembly 20 provided in this embodiment of the invention, the second clamping module 4 is tilted and, in conjunction with its telescopic function, can retract to a compact state during transport by the drone 10, avoiding interference with the connection between the spacer 200 and the external power line 300. When the drone 10 transports the spacer mounting assembly 20 to the external power line 300 and completes the connection between the spacer 200 and the external power line 300, the second clamping module 4 can extend close to the spacer 200, thereby completing the installation of the spacer 200 onto the external power line 300. Specifically, the distance between the two second clamping modules 4 near the end of the first clamping module 3 is greater than the distance away from the end. When the second clamping module 4 is in a retracted state, its entire structure is located at the end of the second clamping module 4 furthest from the first clamping module 3.

[0079] In one implementation, the second clamping module 4 includes a third clamping component 41.

[0080] Please see Figure 9 In the figure, the third clamping component 41 on the left is in the extended state, and the third clamping component 41 on the right is in the retracted state. It should be noted that in actual operation, the two third clamping components 41 can move synchronously or sequentially, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0081] Please combine Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 ; Figure 11 This is a structural schematic diagram of connector 42; Figure 12 This is an exploded view of connector 42.

[0082] In one embodiment, the second clamping module 4 further includes a connector 42, and the third clamping assembly 41 is connected to the top of the outer frame 1 through the connector 42; the connector 42 is provided with a stress-absorbing component 421.

[0083] Understandably, in the spacer mounting assembly 20 provided in the embodiments of the present invention, since the second clamping module 4 is inclined and will be subject to greater resistance during the process of installing the spacer 200 to the external wire 300, the second clamping module 4 will generate greater stress during operation. By providing a stress absorbing component 421 in the connector 42, the stress can be effectively absorbed, the loss can be reduced, and the service life of the second clamping module 4 can be extended.

[0084] In one embodiment, the connector 42 includes a first connecting portion 422, a stress-absorbing member 421, and a second connecting portion 423; the first connecting portion 422 is connected to the mounting rod 13, the second connecting portion 423 is connected to the third clamping assembly 41, the first connecting portion 422 and the second connecting portion 423 are connected, and the stress-absorbing member 421 is located between the first connecting portion 422 and the second connecting portion 423.

[0085] Specifically, one end of the first connecting part 422 is provided with a sleeve 4221, the sleeve 4221 is provided with a receiving groove 4222, the bottom of the receiving groove 4222 is provided with a through hole, the stress absorbing component 421 is a rubber component, the rubber component is provided in the receiving groove 4222, and the rubber component is provided with a clearance hole corresponding to the through hole; the top of the second connecting part 423 is provided with a threaded rod 4231, the threaded rod 4231 passes through the through hole and the clearance hole in sequence and is connected and fixed with the nut 4232.

[0086] Please see Figure 13 The second embodiment of the present invention also provides a drone device 100, including the spacer rod mounting assembly 20 as described above and a drone 10 disposed on top of the spacer rod mounting assembly 20.

[0087] Understandably, the unmanned aerial vehicle device 100 has the same beneficial effects as the spacer rod mounting assembly 20 described above, which will not be elaborated here.

[0088] Please combine Figures 1 to 13 The working process / principle of the UAV device 100 in this embodiment of the invention is briefly described as follows: During the transportation phase, the UAV 10 carrying the spacer mounting assembly 20 flies above the target power line 300. At this time, the spacer mounting assembly 20 stably clamps the spacer 200 through the first clamping module 3. The quick-release module 32 is fixed to the top of the outer frame 1 through the connecting bracket 31. The first hydraulic rod 3221 of the first clamping assembly 322 drives the first gripper 3222 to rotate to clamp the main body of the spacer 200. The second hydraulic rod 3231 of the second clamping assembly 323 drives the second gripper 3232 to swing. The roller 32321 at the bottom of the second gripper 3232 and the spring clip gripper 32322 on the side work together to press the movable blades of the spacer 200. The arc-shaped mating surface 3211 at the bottom of the quick-release bracket 321 fits tightly against the curved surface at the top of the spacer 200. Meanwhile, the clearance notch 32221 at the bottom of the first gripper 3222 effectively avoids interference with protruding parts such as bolts on the spacer 200, thus ensuring secure clamping during transportation. At this time, the second clamping module 4 is in a retracted state, and its inclined arrangement makes the overall structure of the assembly compact.

[0089] Once the drone 10 identifies and locates the target wire 300, it smoothly places the entire assembly onto the wire 300. The two side supports 11 of the outer frame 1, with their M-shaped first support legs 112, V-shaped support legs 113, and second support legs 114, rest stably on the two parallel wires 300. The V-shaped support legs 113 appropriately separate the closely spaced wires 300, ensuring stability during placement. One wire 300 is positioned between the first support leg 112 and the V-shaped support leg 113, while the other wire 300 is positioned between the second support leg 114 and the V-shaped support leg 113. The top support 111 of the side supports 11 adopts a composite structure of an insulated inner support 1111 and a metal clamp 1112. Insulation layers 115 are provided on the opposing sides of the first support leg 112, the V-shaped support leg 113, and the second support leg 114, providing multiple layers of insulation protection during placement and ensuring operational safety.

[0090] Upon entering the installation phase, the drive module 5, mounted on the fixing bracket 21 of the inner frame 2, starts up via its built-in independent power supply. The drive module 5 controls the actions of the first clamping module 3 and the second clamping module 4 through a hydraulic circuit system. The third clamping component 41 of the second clamping module 4 extends outward through the connector 42, clamping the movable blades of the spacer 200 and thus fixing the spacer 200 to the wire 300. The stress-absorbing component 421 inside the connector 42 effectively buffers and absorbs the impact stress generated during installation, protecting the components from damage.

[0091] Simultaneously, the drive module 5 controls the movement of the first hydraulic rod 3221 and the second hydraulic rod 3231 of the first clamping module 3. Hydraulic oil is precisely controlled in flow and pressure through the first and second inlet / outlet ports 32212 and 32213 on the first hydraulic rod 3221, and the third and fourth inlet / outlet ports 32312 and 32313 on the second hydraulic rod 3231, driving the first and second grippers 3222 to release the spacer bar 200, ultimately completing the reliable connection between the spacer bar 200 and the wire 300. Throughout the installation process, the layout of the drive module 5 and the battery 6 on the inner frame 2 ensures that the center of gravity of the entire assembly is low, greatly improving the flight stability and control precision of the UAV 10 during operation.

[0092] After the installation is completed, the second clamping module 4 retracts back into its original position, and the first clamping module 3 completely detaches from the installed and fixed spacer 200. Subsequently, the drone 10 can carry the spacer mounting assembly 20 away from the power line 300.
