Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power equipment technology, and in particular to a drone-mounted grounding ring installation device and a drone. Background Technology

[0002] During power transmission line maintenance, installing grounding wires is a crucial step in ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel. Current grounding installation methods involve manually lifting and tightening the grounding ring onto the exposed overhead conductor using various auxiliary tools.

[0003] Specifically, current grounding installation methods require manual execution of steps such as lifting, alignment, and tightening. Each step is time-consuming, and in complex scenarios like three-phase distribution lines, repetitive work is necessary, resulting in a cumbersome process and significantly reduced efficiency. Secondly, the work must be performed while the line is energized, requiring close contact with live overhead conductors. This poses a high risk of electric shock due to tool slippage or accidental contact, and lacks automated safety mechanisms, relying heavily on human skill for risk control, leading to poor reliability. Furthermore, current grounding installation methods are complex and inconsistent in quality, demanding precise alignment and tightening control from personnel. This is difficult for beginners and is susceptible to environmental factors such as strong winds or obstructed views, leading to grounding ring misalignment or insecure tightening, creating potential hazards for line operation. Therefore, current grounding installation methods can no longer meet the demands for efficient, safe, and stable power maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drone-mounted grounding ring installation device and a drone to address the problems of low efficiency, significant safety hazards, and poor stability of grounding installation methods.

[0005] This invention provides a drone-mounted grounding ring installation device, comprising: The bracket is provided with a mounting groove; A moving mechanism is disposed in the mounting slot and is used to move on the overhead conductor to be grounded; An electronic control module is connected to one side of the bracket, and the moving mechanism is electrically connected to the electronic control module; A drive module is connected to the other side of the bracket, and the drive module is electrically connected to the electronic control module; A grounding assembly includes a first grounding ring, a second grounding ring, and a fastener. The first grounding ring and the second grounding ring are movable toward or away from each other via the fastener. A drive module is drivenly connected to the fastener and is used to drive the fastener to clamp or loosen the first grounding ring and the second grounding ring.

[0006] In one embodiment, the drive module includes a traversing mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism.

The third mounting bracket is connected to the second slider, the third drive unit is mounted on the third mounting bracket, the transmission assembly is drivenly connected to the third drive unit, and the transmission assembly is drivenly connected to the fastener. The third drive unit drives the first grounding ring and the second grounding ring to clamp or release the overhead conductor through the transmission assembly and the fastener.

[0010] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a drive gear, a transmission gear, and a connector. The drive gear and the transmission gear are rotatably mounted on the third mounting bracket and are meshed together. The third drive unit is driven to the drive gear. One end of the transmission gear is driven to the connector, and the other end of the connector is detachably driven to the fastener.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first grounding ring is provided with a first connecting groove, and the second grounding ring is provided with a second connecting groove. The groove walls of the first connecting groove and the second connecting groove are both provided with piercing teeth. When the first grounding ring and the second grounding ring are connected, the first connecting groove and the second connecting groove form a wire-passing channel.

The drone-mounted grounding ring installation device can also avoid the problems of loose connection or damage to overhead wires caused by uneven manual force, ensuring good grounding conductivity and stability. The unmanned operation method can isolate the human from direct contact with the live and high-altitude environment, greatly reducing safety risks. Moreover, the drone-mounted grounding ring installation device can replace the manual experience-based judgment installation method, which can lower the operation threshold and significantly improve the consistency, stability and reliability of grounding installation.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic of the structure of a UAV suspended grounding ring installation device according to an embodiment of the present application. The UAV suspended grounding ring installation device includes a bracket 100, a moving mechanism 200, an electronic control module 300, a drive module 400, and a grounding component 500. The bracket 100 is provided with an installation groove 110, and the moving mechanism 200 is disposed in the installation groove 110. The moving mechanism 200 is used to move on the overhead conductor 10 to be grounded.

[0029] The electrical control module 300 is connected to one side of the support 100, and the moving mechanism 200 is electrically connected to the electrical control module 300. The electrical control module 300 is used to control the movement of the moving mechanism 200 on the overhead conductor 10.

[0030] The drive module 400 is connected to the other side of the bracket 100, and the drive module 400 is electrically connected to the electronic control module 300. The electronic control module 300 is used to control the movement of the drive module 400.

[0031] The grounding assembly 500 includes a first grounding ring 510, a second grounding ring 520, and a fastener 530. The first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 are movable to move closer or further apart via the fastener 530. The drive module 400 is driven to the fastener 530 and is used to drive the fastener 530 to clamp or loosen the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 on the overhead conductor 10.

[0032] The UAV-mounted grounding ring mounting device described in this embodiment of the application, after the UAV-mounted grounding ring mounting device is mounted on the overhead conductor 10 to be grounded, the electronic control module 300 controls the moving mechanism 200 to move on the overhead conductor 10, so that the moving mechanism 200 can drive the entire UAV-mounted grounding ring mounting device to move autonomously to the designated position on the overhead conductor 10 without manual repeated adjustments. After reaching the designated position, the electronic control module 300 continues to control the drive module 400 to move the grounding component 500 to the position to clamp the overhead conductor 10, and the drive module 400 then drives the fastener 530 to clamp the first grounding ring body 510 and the second grounding ring body 520 on the overhead conductor.

[0033] The UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device described in this application embodiment has an electrical control module 300 and a drive module 400 respectively located on both sides of the bracket 100. This opposing arrangement ensures the overall balance of the UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device during operation, preventing tipping or installation interruptions due to center of gravity shift. This eliminates the need for a balancing module, thus avoiding structural redundancy. The UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device also avoids problems such as loosening or damage to the overhead wire 10 caused by uneven manual force application, ensuring good grounding conductivity and stability. The unmanned operation method isolates personnel from direct contact with live and high-altitude environments, resulting in a high degree of automation and significantly reducing safety risks. Furthermore, replacing manual experience-based installation with the UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device lowers the operational threshold and significantly improves the consistency, stability, and reliability of grounding installation.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive module 400 includes a lateral movement mechanism 410, a lifting mechanism 420, and a clamping mechanism 430. The lateral movement mechanism 410 is connected to one side of the bracket 100, the lifting mechanism 420 is connected to the lateral movement mechanism 410, and the clamping mechanism 430 is connected to the lifting mechanism 420.

[0035] In this embodiment, the drive module 400 integrates a horizontal movement mechanism 410, a lifting mechanism 420, and a clamping mechanism 430. The coordinated action of the horizontal movement mechanism 410 and the lifting mechanism 420 achieves precise alignment between the grounding component 500 and the overhead conductor 10, replacing manual aiming and adjustment and avoiding alignment deviations caused by manual operation. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 430 automatically drives the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 to clamp the overhead conductor, eliminating the need for manual tightening throughout the process and significantly improving the automation level of the operation.

[0036] In one exemplary embodiment, in a spatial rectangular coordinate system, the overhead conductor of the UAV-mounted grounding ring mounting device extends along the X-axis, the mounting groove 110 is set along the X-axis, and the moving mechanism 200 moves along the X-axis. In the drive module 400, the lateral movement mechanism 410 moves along the Y-axis, and the lifting mechanism 420 is set along the Z-axis, so that the moving mechanism 200, the lateral movement mechanism 410, and the lifting mechanism 420 work together to move the grounding component 500 to precisely align with the overhead conductor 10.

[0037] Combination Figure 3The diagram shows a schematic of the drive module 400 of the UAV hanging grounding ring mounting device according to an embodiment of this application. In an optional embodiment, the lateral movement mechanism 410 includes a first mounting frame 411, a first drive unit 412, a first guide rail 413, a first transmission rod 414, and a first slider 415. The first mounting frame 411 is connected to the side of the bracket 100 away from the electronic control module 300. The first guide rail 413 is disposed on the first mounting frame 411. The first drive unit 412 is mounted on the first mounting frame 411. The first drive unit 412 is drivenly connected to the first transmission rod 414. The first transmission rod 414 is drivenly connected to the first slider 415, and the first slider 415 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 413.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first drive unit 412 drives the first transmission rod 414 to move the first slider 415 smoothly along the first guide rail 413, providing precise guidance and stable power support for the lateral movement of the grounding component 500, effectively avoiding deviation or jamming during movement. Simultaneously, the compact integrated structure adapts to the installation layout of the bracket 100, ensuring efficient and controllable power transmission and precise adjustment of the lateral position of the grounding component 500. This lays the foundation for accurate alignment with the overhead conductor 10, further enhancing the automation level and operational stability of the UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the first transmission rod 414 is a first lead screw, which passes through the first slider 415, and the first lead screw and the first slider 415 are connected by a first threaded pair.

[0040] Furthermore, the first drive unit 412 is a first drive motor, which is also connected to the first lead screw via a first coupling.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lifting mechanism 420 includes a second mounting bracket 421, a second drive unit 422, a second guide rail 423, a second transmission rod 424, and a second slider 425. The second mounting bracket 421 is connected to the first slider 415, the second guide rail 423 is disposed on the second mounting bracket 421, the second drive unit 422 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 421, the second drive unit 422 is drivenly connected to the second transmission rod 424, the second transmission rod 424 is drivenly connected to the second slider 425, and the second slider 425 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 423.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second mounting bracket 421 is connected to the first slider 415 of the horizontal movement mechanism 410, enabling precise vertical movement and adjustment of the grounding component 500. The second guide rail 423 guides and limits the movement of the second slider 425, ensuring smooth and stable lifting and avoiding jamming or offset. The second drive unit 422 drives the second transmission rod 424 to move the second slider 425, precisely controlling the lifting height of the grounding component 500. This works in conjunction with the horizontal movement mechanism 410 to achieve precise two-dimensional positioning of the grounding component 500 in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This lays a solid foundation for the efficient alignment and clamping of the grounding component 500 with the overhead conductor 10, further enhancing the automation and precision of the UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the second transmission rod 424 is a second lead screw, which passes through the second slider 425, and the second lead screw and the second slider 425 are connected by a second threaded pair.

[0044] Furthermore, the second drive unit 422 is a second drive motor, which is also connected to the second lead screw via a second coupling.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping mechanism 430 includes a third mounting bracket 431, a third drive unit 432, and a transmission assembly 433. The third mounting bracket 431 is connected to the second slider 425. The third drive unit 432 is mounted on the third mounting bracket 431. The transmission assembly 433 is driven to connect with the third drive unit 432 and is driven to connect with the fastener 530. The third drive unit 432 drives the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 to clamp or release the overhead conductor 10 through the transmission assembly 433 and the fastener 530.

[0046] In this embodiment, by connecting the third mounting bracket 431 to the second slider 425 of the lifting mechanism 420, after the lateral movement mechanism 410 and the lifting mechanism 420 complete the precise alignment of the grounding component 500 with the overhead conductor 10, the third drive unit 432 drives the fastener 530 through the transmission component 433. The fastener 530 drives the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 to automatically clamp and loosen, eliminating the need for manual operation throughout the process and significantly reducing workload. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 430 ensures uniform and controllable clamping force, avoiding damage to the overhead conductor or loosening and detachment of the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 due to uneven force, ensuring the reliability of the grounding connection, and further improving the automation level and installation quality stability of the UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device.

[0047] In an exemplary embodiment, the third drive unit 432 is an electric wrench, and the fastener 530 is a bolt and a nut. The bolt passes through the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 and is connected to the nut. The electric wrench tightens the bolt or nut through the transmission assembly 433, thereby adjusting the distance between the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520.

[0048] In one exemplary embodiment, the third mounting bracket 431 is also connected to the first grounding ring 510 by screws to ensure the stability of the relative position of the first grounding ring 510.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission assembly 433 includes a drive gear 4331, a transmission gear 4332, and a connector 4333. The drive gear 4331 and the transmission gear 4332 are rotatably mounted on the third mounting bracket 431 and are meshed together. The third drive unit 432 is driven to drive the drive gear 4331. One end of the transmission gear 4332 is driven to drive the connector 4333, and the other end of the connector 4333 is detachably driven to drive the fastener 530.

[0050] This embodiment employs a gear meshing transmission method between the drive gear 4331 and the transmission gear 4332 to achieve stable and precise power transmission. This ensures that the driving force of the third drive unit 432 can be efficiently transmitted to the fastener 530, making the clamping or loosening action of the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 smooth and controllable. Simultaneously, the connector 4333 and the fastener 530 adopt a detachable drive connection structure, significantly improving the compatibility of the transmission component 433 with fasteners 530 of different specifications. This facilitates component replacement and maintenance, further ensuring the automation level and operational flexibility of the UAV suspended grounding ring installation device.

[0051] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fastener 530 includes two fasteners, and the transmission gear 4332 and the connector 4333 each include two fasteners. Both transmission gears 4332 are meshed with the drive gear 4331, and the two transmission fasteners 530 are connected to the two transmission gears 4332 in a one-to-one transmission manner through the two connectors 4333, so that the drive gear 4331 can synchronously turn the fasteners 530, thereby achieving stable and precise power transmission.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the first grounding ring 510 is provided with a first connecting groove 511, and the second grounding ring 520 is provided with a second connecting groove 521. The groove walls of the first connecting groove 511 and the groove walls of the second connecting groove 521 are both provided with piercing teeth 540. When the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 are connected, the first connecting groove 511 and the second connecting groove 521 form a wire-passing channel.

[0053] In this embodiment, the connection of the first grounding ring 510 and the second grounding ring 520 forms a threading channel adapted to the overhead conductor. Piercing teeth 540 are provided on the walls of both the first connecting groove 511 and the second connecting groove 521. This not only allows for precise positioning of the overhead conductor 10 through the threading channel, preventing displacement of the overhead conductor 10 during clamping, but also allows the piercing teeth 540 to pierce the insulation layer of the overhead conductor 10 during clamping, eliminating the need for additional wire stripping and simplifying the installation process. Simultaneously, the close contact between the piercing teeth 540 and the conductor of the overhead conductor 10 ensures the conductivity and robustness of the grounding connection, effectively improving the grounding reliability and installation efficiency of the grounding assembly 500.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the moving mechanism 200 includes a traveling wheel 210 and a fourth drive unit 220. The traveling wheel 210 is rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 110, and the fourth drive unit 220 is mounted on the bracket 100. The fourth drive unit 220 is drivenly connected to the traveling wheel 210, and the traveling wheel 210 is movably disposed on the overhead conductor 10. Specifically, the fourth drive unit 220 is a drive motor.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting a walking wheel 210 driven by the fourth drive unit 220 in the mounting groove 110 of the bracket 100, and making the walking wheel 210 adapt to the diameter of the overhead conductor 10, the entire UAV suspended grounding ring installation device can be driven to move autonomously and smoothly along the overhead conductor 10 without manual traction or positioning adjustment, which greatly reduces the labor intensity and safety risks of high-altitude live work, and further improves the automation level and overall efficiency of the UAV suspended grounding ring installation device.

[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, the moving mechanism 200 further includes a positioning aid, which may be an anti-detachment buckle or an alignment mark, to ensure that the UAV hanging grounding ring mounting device does not fall off after being mounted on the overhead wire 10.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drone-mounted grounding ring mounting device also includes a hook 120, which is connected to the bracket 100 and is used to connect the drone's mounting components.

[0058] This embodiment, by setting a hook 120 adapted to the drone mounting component on the bracket 100, allows the drone-mounted grounding ring installation device to be hoisted to the overhead power line using a drone, replacing the traditional manual climbing operation mode. This fundamentally avoids the safety risks of falls and electric shock associated with high-altitude climbing, significantly improving operational safety. Simultaneously, it eliminates the cumbersome steps of manual climbing to the location, shortens the deployment time of the drone-mounted grounding ring installation device, simplifies the high-altitude operation process, and further improves the overall efficiency and convenience of grounding installation.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bracket 100 also includes a first leg 130 and a second leg 140. The first leg 130 and the second leg 140 are respectively disposed on both sides of the bracket 100, so that the first leg 130 and the second leg 140 have the dual functions of support and balance. The first leg 130 and the second leg 140 can provide stable support for the UAV suspended grounding ring installation device when it is debugged or stored on the ground, which facilitates the preliminary preparation operation. When the UAV suspended grounding ring installation device is erected on the high-altitude overhead conductor 10 for grounding operation, it can effectively adjust the overall balance of the UAV suspended grounding ring installation device, avoid the device from tipping over or the installation interrupted due to the shift of the center of gravity, and further ensure the safety and stability of high-altitude live work.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electronic control module 300 includes a fourth mounting bracket 310, an electronic control box 320, an electronic control board, and a battery. The fourth mounting bracket 310 is connected to the side of the bracket 100 away from the drive module 400. The electronic control box 320 is mounted on the fourth mounting bracket 310. The electronic control board and the battery are located inside the electronic control box 320. The first drive unit 412, the second drive unit 422, the third drive unit 432, the fourth drive unit 220, and the battery are all connected to the electronic control board. The electronic control board can coordinate the actions between various components, improving the automation level and overall efficiency of the UAV hanging grounding ring installation device.

[0061] Specifically, the electronic control module 300 can achieve dual adaptive adjustment functions. On the one hand, it can output electronic control signals to fine-tune the stroke of the lateral movement mechanism 410 and the lifting mechanism 420, accurately adapting to the alignment requirements of overhead conductors 10 of different specifications, and ensuring precise contact between the grounding component 500 and the overhead conductor 10. On the other hand, it can adaptively control the torque of the electric wrench, dynamically adjusting the tightening torque according to the insulation thickness of the overhead conductor 10, effectively avoiding damage to the overhead conductor 10 due to excessive torque or detachment of the grounding component 500 due to insufficient torque. This achieves comprehensive protection for overhead conductors 10 of different diameters and insulation thicknesses, significantly improving the versatility and adaptability of the UAV-mounted grounding ring installation device, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the grounding connection, reducing the operational difficulty and risk of damage to the overhead conductor during operation.

[0062] In one exemplary embodiment, the side of the electrical control box 320 is provided with multiple heat dissipation holes for heat dissipation of the power control board and battery, thereby improving the stability of the UAV hanging grounding ring mounting device.

[0063] On the other hand, this application also provides a drone, which includes a mount and a drone suspended grounding ring mounting device according to any one of claims 1-9, wherein the drone suspended grounding ring mounting device is detachably connected to the mount.

[0064] This embodiment uses a drone to lift the drone-mounted grounding ring installation device to the overhead power line at a high altitude, replacing the traditional manual climbing operation mode. This fundamentally avoids the safety risks of falls and electric shocks associated with high-altitude climbing, significantly improving operational safety. Furthermore, the electrical control module 300 and drive module 400 of the drone-mounted grounding ring installation device are respectively located on both sides of the support 100. Their opposing arrangement ensures the overall balance of the drone-mounted grounding ring installation device during operation, preventing tipping or installation interruptions due to center of gravity shift. This eliminates the need for a balancing module, thus avoiding structural redundancy. The drone-mounted grounding ring installation device also avoids the problem of loosening or damaging the overhead power line 10 due to uneven manual force, ensuring good grounding conductivity and stability. The unmanned operation method isolates humans from direct contact with live electricity and the high-altitude environment, resulting in a high degree of automation and significantly reducing safety risks. Moreover, replacing manual experience-based judgment with the drone-mounted grounding ring installation device lowers the operational threshold and significantly improves the consistency, stability, and reliability of grounding installation.

[0065] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0066] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
