Specific implementation mode

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] A cable maintenance drone, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, includes a fuselage 1, wings 2, support blocks 3, a micro camera 4 and a maintenance mechanism 5. Two front and rear wings 2 are connected to both the left and right parts of the fuselage 1. Four support blocks 3 are connected to the lower part of the fuselage 1. A micro camera 4 is connected to the lower side of the right part of the fuselage 1. A maintenance mechanism 5 capable of adjusting and guiding is provided between every two adjacent support blocks 3 on the left and right.

[0022] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the maintenance mechanism 5 includes an adjustment column 50, a motor 51, a push rod 52, a cleaning block 53, a guiding clamp 54 and a spring 55. Motors 51 are connected to both the front and rear support blocks 3 on the left. Adjustment columns 50 are connected to the output shafts of the motors 51. The adjustment columns 50 are rotatably connected to the adjacent support blocks 3. Sliding blocks are slidably provided on both the upper and lower parts of the adjustment columns 50. Push rods 52 are rotatably connected to the sliding blocks. Guiding clamps 54 are connected to the outside of the push rods 52. The guiding clamps 54 are all arc-shaped, facilitating clamping of the cable. The guiding clamps 54 are rotatably connected to the adjacent adjustment columns 50. Eleven cleaning blocks 53 are connected to the inner sides of the guiding clamps 54. The cleaning blocks 53 are made of nylon material, which is soft, has a certain elasticity, good wear resistance and is not easy to damage the surface of the cable. Springs 55 are connected between the sliding blocks and the adjacent adjustment columns 50.

[0023] When using this device, first, the wing 2 drives the fuselage 1, the support block 3, and the micro camera 4 to move to the cable maintenance area. Then, start the motor 51 to drive the adjusting column 50 to rotate, so that the guiding pliers 54 are aligned with the cable. Then, rotate the guiding pliers 54 outwards to drive the push rod 52 to rotate, so that the sliding block moves on the adjusting column 50, and the spring 55 is compressed and contracted. Then, put the guiding pliers 54 on the cable. Then, release the guiding pliers 54, and the spring 55 resumes its original state, driving the sliding block to move back to its original position, so that the guiding pliers 54 rotate back to their original position, and the cleaning block 53 contacts the cable. Then, move this device to drive the guiding pliers 54 to move, guide through the guiding pliers 54, and clean the surface of the cable through the cleaning block 53. Then, perform maintenance through the micro camera 4. At the same time, clamp on the cable through the guiding pliers 54 to ensure the stability of the mobile maintenance of this device. Thus, the guiding pliers 54 can be adjusted to facilitate adaptation to different usage requirements, and this device can be firmly fixed on the cable through the guiding pliers 54, reducing the shaking of this device and improving the stability during maintenance.

[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, it further includes a snow removal mechanism 6. The snow removal mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 61 and a snow removal plate 62. The left part of the fuselage 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 61, and the left part of the rotating shaft 61 is rotatably connected to the snow removal plate 62. The snow removal plate 62 is arc-shaped.

[0025] When using the snow removal mechanism 6 of this device, the snow on the surface of the cable can be scraped off. When there is snow on the cable, the rotating shaft 61 can be rotated outwards, and then the snow removal plate 62 is rotated so that the snow removal plate 62 is aligned with the cable. Then, drive the snow removal plate 62 to move through the movement of this device, and scrape off the snow through the snow removal plate 62. Thus, it can facilitate scraping off the snow on the surface of the cable and avoid the snow affecting the maintenance of the cable.

[0026] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
