Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of overhead cable maintenance, in particular to a walking device of an overhead line coating robot. Background Art
[0002] Overhead lines are generally responsible for the transmission of long-distance electrical energy and are often located high in the sky in the suburbs. Troubleshooting overhead conductors not only faces harsh environments (strong winds, ice, dirt, etc.), but also involves certain risks.
[0003] With the development of automation technology, overhead line maintenance has evolved from manual inspections performed by intelligent inspection robots to multifunctional ones. Intelligent inspection devices are replacing manual high-risk operations, significantly improving work efficiency while ensuring safety. Currently, wheeled walking robots are widely used and come in a variety of styles. However, wheeled walking mechanisms are prone to slipping when climbing steep slopes. This slippage can cause speeds to drop below normal when climbing uphill and exceed normal speeds when descending. For example, for coating robots, which are required to operate at a constant speed, the actual operating speed may not match the theoretical speed. This can result in uneven thickness of the sprayed insulating coating layer. Utility Model Content

The walking is stable and not easy to slip, and the climbing ability is significantly improved. It solves the technical problems of the existing walking structure due to slippage, such as the driving speed is lower than the normal speed when going uphill and the speed is higher than the normal speed when going downhill, resulting in uneven thickness of the sprayed insulating coating layer.

[0009] Preferably, the output end of the motor module is connected to a transmission shaft, the driving wheel is mounted on the transmission shaft, and driving wheel bearings mounted on the inner side of the hanging portion are provided at both ends of the transmission shaft corresponding to the driving wheel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the common meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which this utility model belongs.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a specific embodiment of the utility model provides a walking device of an overhead line coating robot, including a walking mechanism and a walking bracket 100; the walking mechanism includes a horizontally arranged walking track 200, the outer peripheral surface of the walking track 200 is provided with a contact groove 210 with a V-shaped cross-section, and the inner side of the walking track 200 is provided with a driving wheel 300 and a driven wheel 400 arranged in a front-to-rear interval, and the driving wheel 300 is transmission-connected to a motor module 500 fixed on the walking bracket 100; the upper end of the walking bracket 100 is provided with a hanging portion 110 with an inverted U-shaped longitudinal cross-section, and the walking mechanism is arranged on the inner side of the hanging portion 110.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the walking mechanism of the walking device in this embodiment adopts a walking track 200 to contact the overhead cable. Compared with the transmission pulley structure, the crawler structure can increase the contact area and friction with the cable, and the contact groove 210 arranged on the surface of the walking track 200 can further increase the stability of the contact. The walking track 200 is composed of a driving wheel 300 and a driven wheel 400 to form a synchronous drive mechanism. The walking is stable and not easy to slip, and the climbing ability is significantly improved; cable robots equipped with wheeled walking devices in the prior art are widely used and have various styles. This device can solve the problem that the existing walking structure has a travel speed lower than the normal speed when going uphill and a speed higher than the normal speed when going downhill due to slipping. It can be applied to overhead line coating robots to solve the problem of uneven thickness of the sprayed insulating coating layer due to slipping of the walking device in the prior art.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment further optimizes the structure of the walking track 200 to improve walking stability. The walking track 200 includes a transmission layer 220 and a walking layer 230 arranged from the inside to the outside. The inner circumference of the transmission layer 220 is provided with evenly arranged transmission grooves, which are adapted to the transmission teeth provided on the outer periphery of the driving wheel 300 and the driven wheel 400. The contact groove 210 is provided on the outer surface of the walking layer 230. The inner layer of the track structure, serving as the transmission layer 220, can be adapted through the tooth grooves and the latch teeth, so that the track structure, the driving wheel 300, and the driven wheel 400 form a synchronous pulley structure, thereby improving the stability of the walking track 200. At the same time, the walking layer 230 of the outer layer of the track structure increases the contact area between the walking structure and the cable by means of the contact groove 210, further improving the contact friction of the walking track 200 and preventing the cable from slipping during travel. To further improve the stability of the track and wheel body and prevent the track structure from falling off, this embodiment is provided with a limit portion 600 at both ends of the driving wheel 300 and the driven wheel 400, which abuts against the end surface of the transmission layer 220 of the walking track 200. The limit portion 600 is a disc-shaped structure. In this way, the edge of the walking track 200 is located inside the limit portion 600, and the limit portion 600 prevents the walking track 200 from falling off from the driving wheel 300 or the driven wheel 400.
[0026] Example 2
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment further optimizes the transmission structure. The output end of the motor module 500 is connected to a transmission shaft 700, and the driving wheel 300 is mounted on the transmission shaft 700. The transmission shaft 700 is provided with driving wheel bearings mounted on the inner side of the hanging portion 110 at both ends of the driving wheel 300. The transmission shaft 700 is assembled on the inner side of the hanging portion 110 through the driving wheel bearings. The transmission shaft 700 is directly driven by the output end of the motor module 500, improving the transmission efficiency. In order to improve the stability of the transmission connection, this embodiment is provided with a connecting plate 710 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor module 500 at one end of the transmission shaft 700. The connecting plate 710 is provided with a fixing bolt 720 arranged around the transmission shaft 700. The end of the transmission shaft 700 is connected to the output end of the motor using the connecting plate 710 structure, and a stable connection is formed by the fixing bolt 720. At the same time, the upper end of the traveling bracket 100 is provided with a through hole 120 for the transmission shaft 700 to pass through. The driving wheel bearing located at the end of the transmission shaft 700 is assembled with the connecting plate 710 and fixed in the through hole 120. The through-hole 120 provided on the traveling support 100 ensures stable operation of the transmission structure. The placement of a driving wheel bearing within this through-hole further enhances transmission stability at the assembly position and prevents vibration at the connection point. Furthermore, the driven wheel 400 is assembled with a driven shaft 800, with driven wheel bearings at both ends. These driven wheel bearings are mounted in bearing grooves on the sidewalls of the mounting portion 110. The driven wheel 400 structure is assembled using the driven shaft 800 and mounted to the traveling support 100 via the bearing structure, ensuring stability.
