[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. The terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection between the internal parts of two elements. In addition, the term "multiple" refers to two or more. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable-suspended traveling vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 100 , a power mechanism 200 and four traveling mechanisms 300 .

[0039] The housing 100 defines an installation chamber 110 . The power mechanism 200 is disposed in the installation chamber 110 and is configured to output power from its output end. Four running mechanisms 300 are disposed in a rectangular array on the outer wall of the housing 100 .

[0040] Each running mechanism 300 includes a first wheel 310, a second wheel 320, and a connecting frame 330. The connecting frame 330 is connected to the outer side of the housing 100. The first wheel 310 and the second wheel 320 are mounted on the connecting frame 330 and are spaced apart in the vertical direction to clamp the suspension cable 500.

[0041] At least one first wheel 310 of the traveling mechanism 300 is connected to the output end of the power mechanism 200. Specifically, the output end of the power mechanism 200 can be directly connected to one first wheel 310, or indirectly connected to one first wheel 310 via an intermediate structure, or indirectly connected to multiple wheels via an intermediate structure.

[0042] When the cable traveler is in operation, the photovoltaic panel is connected to the housing 100, and the first wheel 310 and the second wheel 320 of the travel mechanism 300 clamp the cable 500. Two adjacent cables 500 each have two travel mechanisms 300, and the power mechanism 200 drives at least one first wheel 310 to rotate, so that the cable traveler travels on the cable 500 of the flexible photovoltaic support system and drives the photovoltaic panel to the installation location. Therefore, the cable traveler can transport photovoltaic panels on the cable 500 of the flexible photovoltaic support system, thereby replacing manual transportation and saving manpower. In addition, compared with manual transportation, the cable traveler does not need to travel on mountain roads during transportation, and the transportation speed is faster, thereby shortening the installation period of the photovoltaic panel.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 3 The cable-suspended traveling vehicle further includes a transmission mechanism 400 disposed in the mounting chamber 110 ; the transmission mechanism 400 is transmission-connected to the output end of the power mechanism 200 , and multiple output ends of the transmission mechanism 400 are respectively connected to the first wheel 310 of each traveling mechanism 300 .

[0044] The transmission mechanism 400 transmits the power of the output end of the power mechanism 200 to each first wheel 310. Each first wheel 310 can actively move on the suspension cable 500, so that the suspension traveling vehicle has a large transportation capacity, ensuring that the photovoltaic panels can be smoothly transported to the installation location on the suspension cable 500 with a large slope.

[0045] Further, continue to refer to Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 400 includes a transmission shaft 440, a first transmission assembly 410, a second transmission assembly 420, and a third transmission assembly 430. The transmission shaft 440 is disposed in the mounting chamber 110. The two ends of the transmission shaft 440 extend from both sides of the housing 100 and are connected to the two first wheels 310 that coincide with the rotation axis 3331. For example, Figure 3 The rotation axis 3331 line of the first wheel 310 located on the left front of the shell 100 coincides with the rotation axis 3331 line of the first wheel 310 located on the right front of the shell 100, and the first wheel 310 located on the left front of the shell 100 and the first wheel 310 located on the right front of the shell 100 are respectively installed at both ends of the transmission shaft 440.

[0046] The two ends of the first transmission assembly 410 are respectively connected to the output end of the power mechanism 200 and the transmission shaft 440, so that the power mechanism 200 drives the two first wheels 310 to rotate through the first transmission assembly 410 and the transmission shaft 440. One end of the second transmission assembly 420 and one end of the third transmission assembly 430 are both connected to the transmission shaft 440. The other ends of the second transmission assembly 420 and the other ends of the third transmission assembly 430 are respectively connected to the other two first wheels 310. The second transmission assembly 420 and the third transmission assembly 430 transmit the rotational motion of the transmission shaft 440 to the other two first wheels 310. It should be noted that the two first wheels 310 connected to the second transmission assembly 420 and the third transmission assembly 430 are respectively located on two suspension cables 500, and the rotation axes 3331 can be aligned or not aligned.

[0047] Specifically, when the power mechanism 200 is working, the power at the output end of the power mechanism 200 is transmitted to the transmission shaft 440 through the first transmission assembly 410, causing the first wheels 310 installed at both ends of the transmission shaft 440 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 440 drives the other two first wheels 310 to rotate respectively through the second transmission assembly 420 and the third transmission assembly 430, thereby realizing the simultaneous rotation of the four first wheels 310 to actively move on the suspension cable 500.

[0048] Figure 3 The first transmission assembly 410, the second transmission assembly 420, and the third transmission assembly 430 shown are all belt drive structures; specifically, the belt drive structure includes two pulleys and a belt wrapped around the pulleys, wherein the belt can be a flat belt, a synchronous belt, a V-belt, etc. Of course, the first transmission group, the second transmission assembly 420, and the third transmission assembly 430 can also adopt other structural forms such as chain drive structures and gear drive structures.

[0049] Of course, the specific structure of the transmission mechanism 400 is not limited to the above. In other embodiments of the present application, the transmission mechanism 400 can also have other structural forms.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4A and Figure 4B As shown, the connecting frame 330 includes a first bracket 331, a second bracket 332, and a locking assembly 333. The first bracket 331 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing 100, the first wheel 310 is mounted on the first bracket 331, and the second wheel 320 is mounted on the second bracket 332. The locking assembly 333 is connected to the first bracket 331 and the second bracket 332 and is configured to detachably connect the first bracket 331 to the second bracket 332.

[0051] The first bracket 331 and the second bracket 332 are detachably connected by the locking assembly 333, which can facilitate the installation of the suspension traveling vehicle on the suspension cable 500. Specifically, when installing the suspension traveling vehicle on the suspension cable 500, first disconnect the locking assembly 333 of each connecting frame 330 from the first bracket 331 and / or the second bracket 332, remove the second bracket 332 from the first bracket 331, and then place the two first wheels 310 on the left side of the shell 100 on one of the suspension cables 500, and place the two first wheels 310 on the right side of the shell 100 on the other suspension cable 500, and finally connect each second bracket 332 to the first bracket 331 correspondingly through the locking assembly 333. After the suspension traveling vehicle is installed on the two suspension cables 500, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0052] In addition, when transporting the suspension traveler, the construction workers disassemble the second bracket 332 from the first bracket 331, and a separate person transports the second bracket 332, so that the suspension traveler can be disassembled and transported, and the weight transported by each transporter is relatively small.

[0053] like Figure 4A 、 Figure 4B and Figure 5 As shown, the first bracket 331 has a connecting rod 3311, and the second bracket 332 includes a hook portion 3321 and a bearing portion 3322. The hook portion 3321 is connected to one end of the bearing portion 3322 and is configured to be connected to the connecting rod 3311. The bearing portion 3322 is mounted with the second wheel 320, and the other end of the bearing portion 3322, opposite the hook portion 3321, is configured to be connected to the locking assembly 333.

[0054] When the second bracket 332 needs to be connected to the first bracket 331, the hook portion 3321 is first hooked on the connecting rod 3311, and then the locking assembly 333 is used to connect the supporting portion 3322 to the first bracket 331. When the second bracket 332 needs to be removed from the first bracket 331, the locking assembly 333 is first disconnected from the supporting portion 3322, and then the hook portion 3321 is detached from the connecting rod 3311.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 4A and Figure 4B The end of the bearing portion 3322 opposite the hook portion 3321 is provided with a notch 3323. The locking assembly 333 includes a rotating shaft 3331 and a screw 3332. One end of the rotating shaft 3331 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 331; the front end of the screw 3332 is threadedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 3331 away from the first bracket 331. The rear end of the screw 3332 is used to press against the side of the bearing portion 3322 facing away from the first bracket 331 when the screw 3332 is located in the notch 3323.

[0056] The above structure of the locking assembly 333 enables quick assembly and disassembly of the first bracket 331 and the second bracket 332. Specifically, when the locking assembly 333 connects the first bracket 331 and the second bracket 332, the screw 3332 is first rotated about the rotating shaft 3331 so that the screw 3332 enters the notch 3323, and then the screw 3332 is rotated about its own axis so that the rear end of the screw 3332 presses against the side of the bearing portion 3322 facing away from the first bracket 331, thereby locking the first bracket 331 and the second bracket 332. When the second bracket 332 needs to be disassembled from the first bracket 331, the screw 3332 is first rotated about its own axis so that the rear end of the screw 3332 is disengaged from the side of the bearing portion 3322 facing away from the first bracket 331, and then the screw 3332 is removed from the notch 3323, and finally the hook portion 3321 is detached from the connecting rod 3311.

[0057] In addition, the locking assembly 333 further includes a handle 3333, one end of which is connected to the screw 3332. The construction worker can quickly and easily rotate the screw 3332 through the handle 3333. Specifically, when the screw 3332 needs to be rotated, the handle 3333 is held and rotated around the axis of the screw 3332.

[0058] Of course, the specific structure of the connecting frame 330 is not limited to the above. In other embodiments of the present application, the connecting frame 330 can also have other structural forms.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Figure 2 The power mechanism 200 includes a battery 210, a controller 220, and a motor 230. The controller 220 and the motor 230 are both electrically connected to the battery 210; the motor 230 is signal-connected to the controller 220 and is configured to output power from its own output terminal under the control of the controller 220.

[0060] The battery 210 provides power for the controller 220 and the motor 230. The controller 220 stores the rotation speed and steering instructions for controlling the motor 230, thereby achieving control of the travel direction and speed of the cable-stayed vehicle.

[0061] The cable-stayed vehicle can use a motor 230 to drive each first wheel 310 through a transmission assembly 410, thereby achieving a lightweight design and facilitating construction workers to travel the cable-stayed vehicle at a uniform speed.

[0062] Furthermore, the battery 210 is detachably connected to the housing 100. When transporting the cable-stayed vehicle, construction workers can remove the battery 210 and transport it by a single person, so that the weight transported by each transporter is relatively small.

[0063] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0064] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
