Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power transmission line inspection robots, in particular to a falling prevention device for power transmission line inspection robots. Background Art

[0002] A line inspection robot refers to a robot that uses a mobile robot as a carrier, a visible light camera, an infrared thermal imager, and other detection instruments as a load system, and a multi-field information fusion of machine vision-electromagnetic field-GPS-GIS as a navigation system for autonomous movement and autonomous inspection of the robot. It uses an embedded computer as the software and hardware development platform of the control system. It has the functions of obstacle detection, identification and positioning, autonomous operation planning, autonomous obstacle crossing, autonomous inspection of transmission lines and their corridors, automatic storage and remote wireless transmission of inspection images and data by the robot body, remote wireless monitoring and remote control on the ground, real-time online power supply, background inspection operation management and analysis and diagnosis. The robot inspection method generally uses the ground wire as the robot's travel track. The transmission wire has a certain curvature and will dance under the action of the wind. The inspection robot moves on the dancing wire, which can easily cause the clamping mechanism on the transmission line inspection robot to detach from the wire, causing the transmission line inspection robot to fall rapidly. The distance between the wire and the ground of the high-voltage overhead transmission line is generally tens of meters, and the environment of the transmission line corridor is harsh and complex. The transmission line inspection robot will cause serious damage after falling.

[0003] Existing power transmission line inspection robots, such as the prior art with application number CN202020935680.7, include a device box, a robot body, a robot arm, cables, a protective net, a fixed bracket, a support column, a support inner ring and a shock absorber, etc. The protective net is used to protect the robot body to prevent damage to the robot body from objects thrown from high altitudes from above. The fixed bracket is used to fix the device box. The triangular fixed bracket is stable, firm and pressure-resistant.
