Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power equipment operation and maintenance technology, and in particular to a rapid heating and long-term energy storage antifreezing and de-icing device for power poles and a temperature control method. Background Technology
[0002] In low-temperature winter conditions, rain and snow easily condense into ice on the surface of utility poles, significantly reducing the friction on the pole's outer wall and posing a serious safety hazard to power workers climbing the poles. De-icing utility poles is a crucial task to ensure the safety of workers. Relevant industry regulations clearly require that ice on the pole surface be removed promptly and quickly to prevent accidents caused by slipping on ice during climbing.
[0003] Currently, traditional de-icing methods mostly rely on manual ice breaking, which suffers from low efficiency, high safety risks, and a tendency for secondary icing. This not only consumes significant manpower and resources but also prolongs power outages, causing economic losses such as industrial production halts and reduced commercial revenue, while also affecting power supply reliability. Existing de-icing devices also struggle to balance rapid heating and de-icing with long-term energy storage, and cannot dynamically adjust control strategies according to environmental changes, thus failing to meet the actual needs of winter power pole anti-freezing and de-icing.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical challenges, ensure the safety of power workers, reduce power outage losses, improve power supply reliability, and meet the power industry's requirements for anti-icing and de-icing, developing a rapid-heating and long-lasting energy storage device for power poles, along with a temperature control method, has become an urgent technical issue to be resolved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the technical challenges of high safety risks for workers climbing icy utility poles in winter, low efficiency of traditional de-icing methods, and the difficulty of existing devices in balancing rapid heating and long-term energy storage. This invention provides a utility pole anti-freezing and de-icing device and temperature control method that provides rapid heating and long-term energy storage, achieving precise anti-freezing and de-icing, ensuring operational safety, reducing power outage losses, and improving power supply reliability.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A fast-heating and long-lasting energy storage anti-freezing and de-icing device for utility poles includes a control box. A solar panel is installed on the top of the control box, and a clamp for assembly with the utility pole is fixedly connected to one side. A storage battery is installed inside the control box, and two power supply wires are led out from the bottom. The ends of the two power supply wires are respectively connected to arc-shaped heating elements. The two arc-shaped heating elements are fixed to the outer wall of the utility pole by bolts through extension connecting plates at both ends.
[0008] Furthermore, a remote communication module and a temperature sensor are also installed on the top of the control box, with the detection probe of the temperature sensor facing the utility pole.
[0009] Furthermore, the arc-shaped heating element has a layered composite structure, consisting of a heat-conducting inner layer, a heating wire, and a heat-insulating outer layer from the inside out.
[0010] Furthermore, the solar panel, battery, arc heating element, remote communication module, and temperature sensor are all electrically connected to the control unit inside the control box, and the power supply and working status are uniformly controlled by the control box.
[0011] A temperature control method for a rapid heating and long-term energy storage anti-freezing and de-icing device for utility poles includes the following:
[0012] S1: Real-time temperature data of the outer wall of the utility pole is collected through a temperature sensor; local weather forecast data is obtained through a remote communication module; the current remaining power and real-time voltage of the battery are obtained through the power detection unit in the control box; and real-time power generation is obtained through the output terminal of the solar panel.
[0013] S2: Based on the data obtained in S1, the control unit in the control box calls the built-in icing growth heat balance model to calculate the theoretical heat load required to prevent the utility pole from icing or to melt the existing icing; and generates a dynamic heating strategy based on the theoretical heat load, the current remaining battery power, the real-time voltage, the real-time power generation of the solar panel, and the preset range requirements.
[0014] S3: Based on the dynamic heating strategy generated by S2, the control unit uses PWM regulation technology to drive the arc heating element to start / stop and power output, thereby achieving rapid heating response;
[0015] S4: When the temperature suddenly drops and ice forms, the estimated ice thickness exceeds the standard, or a manual de-icing command is received, the rapid de-icing mode is activated, the battery supplies power at the rated maximum power, and after the temperature reaches the standard and is maintained for a preset time, it switches to the heat preservation mode; the entire de-icing process operation data is recorded simultaneously, and the ice growth thermal balance model is iteratively optimized.
[0016] Furthermore, in S1, temperature sensors at different heights collect the temperature of the outer wall of the utility pole and take the average value to ensure data representativeness; a remote communication module obtains hourly weather forecast data such as ambient temperature, air humidity, wind speed, and solar radiation intensity for the next 24 hours to assist in icing judgment and heat load calculation; a power detection unit collects the remaining battery power and real-time voltage to monitor the working status of the energy storage system; a power sensor collects the real-time power generation of the solar panels to understand the availability of clean energy; after all collected data is converted into digital signals, the control unit performs preprocessing such as outlier removal and smoothing filtering to ensure data accuracy.
[0017] Furthermore, in S2, the control unit, based on the preprocessed data collected in S1, calls the built-in icing growth heat balance model. Using the core formula of heat provided by the heating system = convective heat transfer loss + radiative heat transfer loss + latent heat demand for melting / anti-icing - solar radiation heat gain, and combining the calculation formulas for each heat item, it calculates the theoretical heat load required for antifreeze or melting ice, and corrects it using the heating system's thermal efficiency. Subsequently, the control unit, combining the corrected theoretical heat load, remaining battery power, real-time voltage, real-time solar power generation, and preset range requirements, generates a dynamic heating strategy. Specifically, this includes: adjusting the heating power within the range of 30% to 100% of the rated power; rationally allocating heating periods based on meteorological data; utilizing solar energy to assist in antifreeze to reduce energy storage consumption; and formulating a battery charging and discharging management strategy based on the difference between solar power generation and heating power to ensure a balance between heating demand and energy storage range.
[0018] Furthermore, in S3, the control unit, based on the dynamic heating strategy generated in S2, employs high-frequency PWM regulation technology to achieve precise start-up and power drive of the arc-shaped heating element, resulting in rapid heating response. Specifically, the PWM modulation frequency is first set to 10kHz, with its duty cycle linearly related to the heating power. The duty cycle is calculated using a corresponding formula and adjusted in 1% increments to achieve refined control of the heating power. In terms of heating control, when heating is started or the power is increased, the duty cycle is quickly adjusted so that the heating element reaches the target power within 1-3 seconds. When the temperature of the outer wall of the utility pole approaches the preset insulation temperature, the duty cycle is gradually reduced to stabilize the temperature and avoid energy waste. Simultaneously, the operating current and temperature of the heating element are monitored in real time. If the current or temperature exceeds the limit, the duty cycle is immediately adjusted or heating is stopped, and a fault signal is sent to the backend to ensure the safe operation of the device.
[0019] Furthermore, in S4, the control unit monitors various parameters in real time. When any of the following conditions are met—the outer wall temperature of the utility pole remains below freezing, the estimated ice thickness exceeds the threshold, or a manual de-icing command is received—the rapid de-icing mode is immediately activated. The battery is controlled to supply power at its rated maximum power, and the heating elements operate at full power to prioritize de-icing needs. Once the pole temperature reaches the target and remains there for the preset duration, the system automatically switches to heat preservation mode, maintaining the temperature according to the dynamic heating strategy of S2 to prevent re-icing. If the battery power is too low during de-icing, the power will be automatically reduced and a warning will be sent to ensure basic anti-freezing functions. The system simultaneously records the environmental, operational, and de-icing-related parameters throughout the entire de-icing process and uploads them to the backend server via a remote communication module. The server uses the least squares method to correct the parameters of the ice growth heat balance model to iteratively optimize the model and improve the accuracy of subsequent heat load calculations and the adaptability of the control strategy.
[0020] Furthermore, in S2, the icing growth heat balance model includes:
[0021] The core formula for heat balance is: Heat provided by the heating system = Convective heat transfer loss + Radiation heat transfer loss + Latent heat demand for melting ice / preventing icing - Solar radiation heat gain, that is:
