DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] The specific implementation of this application is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of this application, a variety of structural methods and implementation methods can be replaced with each other by those skilled in the art without changing the essential spirit of this application. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of this application and should not be regarded as the entire application or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of the application.
[0032] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly mentioned in this specification are defined relative to the structure shown in the drawings. They are relative concepts and may vary depending on the location and usage of the device. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.
[0033] The present application provides a power equipment inspection device, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power equipment inspection device includes:
[0034] The annular guide rail 4 comprises at least two detachably connected guide rail sections, the inner diameter of the annular guide rail being suitable for being sleeved on the outer wall of the utility pole and a set interval being reserved between the annular guide rail and the outer wall; the climbing assembly, of which there is at least one, is arranged on the annular guide rail 4 and abuts against the outer wall; the climbing assembly has a built-in power drive component, and the climbing assembly drives the annular guide rail 4 to climb upward along the utility pole while the power drive component climbs upward, and the position and climbing direction of the climbing assembly can be limited by the annular guide rail 4; the camera 2 is arranged at the top of the climbing assembly to capture the image of the power transmission line above the climbing assembly; the robotic arm is arranged at the top of at least one of the climbing assemblies, and a contact sensor 17 is provided at the end of the robotic arm; the communication module is connected to the output ends of the camera 2 and the contact sensor 17, and reports the detection data of the camera 2 and the contact sensor 17 to the host computer.
[0035] The electric power equipment inspection device provided in the above embodiment of the present application utilizes a climbing assembly to drive the annular guide rail 4 to climb up along the electric pole. A camera 2 and a contact sensor 17 are also provided on the climbing assembly to collect data on the transmission line, and the collected data is reported to the host computer using a communication module. This solution replaces the process of inspection personnel climbing the electric pole with a climbing assembly, replaces the workers' visual observation of the external situation of the transmission line with the image of the transmission line captured by the camera 2, and can collect the internal data of the transmission line through the contact sensor 17. The above data is reported to the host computer through the communication module to realize the timely discovery of fault information. Through the solution of the present application, the inspection efficiency is greatly improved, the labor cost is reduced, and the device is simple to use and has high accuracy.
[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 1As shown in the figure, in the power equipment inspection device, the climbing components include four, and the four climbing components are evenly distributed on the annular guide rail 4. This solution uses four climbing components for upward climbing. When the four climbing components are evenly distributed on the annular guide rail 4, the interval between two adjacent climbing components is 90 degrees. This arrangement can ensure the stability of the climbing components and the balance of the climbing process.
[0037] Preferably, in the power equipment inspection device, the mechanical arm is connected to the driving end of the power drive component. That is, this solution can drive the climbing component and the mechanical arm through a set of power drive components, simplifying the product structure.
[0038] Furthermore, the electric power equipment inspection device in the above scheme also includes a distance sensor, which is arranged at the top of the climbing component. The distance sensor detects the climbing height of the climbing component and reports the climbing height to the host computer through the communication module. Through this scheme, the climbing component can automatically stop when it climbs to a certain height. The distance sensor can include a laser distance sensor, which can emit a laser beam to the ground. The laser beam is reflected by the ground and returns. The laser distance sensor can calculate the laser travel distance. The climbing distance can be obtained by dividing the laser travel distance by 2. When the climbing distance is close to the height of the utility pole, it can be considered that the climb has reached the limit position. At this time, the host computer can directly control the power drive component to stop. Through this scheme, it can be avoided that the climbing component climbs too high, causing the camera to contact the transmission line and other problems.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the annular guide rail 4 comprises two sections, which are connected by a guide rail connector 9. When an inspection is required, the guide rail connector 9 can be opened first, allowing the inspector to conveniently slide the annular guide rail 4 over the pole and then tighten the guide rail connector 9. In the structure of the present application, the provision of the guide rail connector 9 allows for fine-tuning of the inner diameter of the annular guide rail 4 according to the diameter of different poles, adapting it to poles of varying specifications. This solution is easy to operate and can improve inspection efficiency.
[0040] In some schemes, such as Figure 2As shown, the climbing assembly in the electric power equipment inspection device includes a box body 1, and two upper and lower sliders 12 are installed on the inner wall of the box body 1, and the upper and lower sliders 12 are fixed after being clamped on the upper and lower surfaces of the annular guide rail 4; an upper connecting frame 10 and a lower connecting frame 14 are provided in the box body 1; an upper connecting shaft 11 and a lower connecting shaft 12 are provided between the upper connecting frame 10 and the lower connecting frame 14, and the upper connecting shaft 11 and the lower connecting shaft 12 are fixed to the inner wall of the box body 1; the power drive component is arranged in the box body 1, and the power drive component includes a motor support seat 8, a motor 3 arranged in the motor support seat 8, a support base 16 and a climbing wheel 13 connected between the motor output shaft and the support base bearing, and the coupling in the motor support seat 8 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 3; the motor support seat 8 is arranged on the upper connecting frame 10, and the support base 16 is arranged on the lower connecting frame 14. Through the above-mentioned solution of the present application, a simple structure can be used to realize the power drive components, and the components are arranged inside the box 1, which can improve the integration of the device and make the appearance more beautiful.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the climbing wheel 13 is a spiral climbing wheel. The distance between the annular guide rail 4 and the utility pole is suitable for the spiral climbing wheel to contact the outer wall of the utility pole. When the spiral climbing wheel rotates, the spiral climbing wheel can climb up the utility pole due to the presence of the spiral.
[0042] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the robotic arm includes a robotic arm base 7, a robotic upper arm 5 and a robotic lower arm 6, and the robotic arm base 7, the robotic upper arm 5 and the robotic lower arm 6 are connected via a rotary joint. By rotating the rotary joint in conjunction with the two-section robotic arm structure, the robotic arm can be rotated at various angles. Preferably, a sensor base 19 and a sensor support frame 18 are installed at the end of the robotic upper arm 5, and the contact sensor 17 is installed at the top of the sensor support frame 18. Through this solution, a large-angle rotation of the contact sensor 17 can be achieved, and the contact sensor 17 can be adjusted to a suitable angle by utilizing the rotation of the robotic arm to detect whether there are problems such as short circuits and leakages inside the transmission line.
[0043] Preferably, the robotic arm drives the contact sensor for 360° rotation at the top of the housing. The control principle and structure of the robotic arm can be implemented using existing structures and control principles in the prior art. The robotic arm is simply mounted on the top of the housing 1, and the control structure is integrated into the housing, along with the power drive components. As another possible implementation, the control portion of the robotic arm can be integrated into the robotic arm base 7. The appropriate robotic arm configuration can be selected based on the degree of freedom. The 360° rotation control will not be discussed further here.
[0044] According to the above-mentioned scheme of the present application, after the inspection personnel install the annular guide rail 4 of the power equipment inspection device to the bottom of the utility pole, they start the power equipment inspection device. The climbing component can drive the power equipment inspection device to climb up along the utility pole. When the distance sensor detects that the climbing component has reached the top of the utility pole, the climbing component can automatically stop, and the camera 2 starts to collect image information of the transmission line. The mechanical arm rotates and adjusts the contact sensor 17 to the appropriate position to collect data such as the current and voltage of the transmission line. The camera 2 and the contact sensor 17 transmit the collected information to the host computer using the communication module for analysis. If a fault is determined, the communication line can be used to notify the relevant staff and repair the fault location and fault information. If there is no fault, the inspection personnel can control the power equipment inspection device to return. When the power equipment inspection device rises and returns, it only needs to control the driving direction of the motor 3 to change. After the power equipment inspection device returns, it will inspect the next location. The power equipment inspection device provided by the scheme of the present application solves the problem that the power equipment inspection process requires a lot of manual operation, low efficiency and poor safety.
[0045] As needed, the above technical solutions can be combined to achieve the best technical effect.
[0046] The above are only the principles and preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, on the basis of the principles of the present application, several other modifications can be made, which should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present application.
