Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cable processing devices in the electric power industry, and in particular relates to a mechanical device for preprocessing horizontal high-voltage cables. Background Art
[0002] In power systems, generator sets typically rely on ultra-high voltage cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables for power transmission. The safety and reliability of these cables are crucial to the stable operation of power stations. Due to long-term use and the unique effects of high-voltage environments, high-voltage cables require regular replacement. High-voltage cables are arranged vertically or horizontally. Due to their length, their position cannot be changed on-site. During replacement, new cable connectors must be fabricated on-site. Limited space and transportation access preclude the use of large-scale equipment, necessitating the use of compact, modular processing equipment.
[0003] Currently, pretreatment of high-voltage cable joints relies primarily on manual labor, lacking standardized appearance standards. The quality of the joint surface polishing depends primarily on the worker's individual experience and skills, leading to inconsistent quality standards. Substandard polishing can impact the safe operation of transmission lines.
[0004] At the same time, since the cable connector in the horizontal section is too long and has natural curvature, the cable interface is not a standard cylindrical shape and will be deformed due to gravity. Traditional turning processing cannot be used and the corresponding processing method needs to be matched according to the actual cable shape.
[0005] At present, cable pretreatment mainly adopts two methods: manual production and large-scale equipment processing, each of which has the following disadvantages:
[0006] First, the quality of handmade cable joints is unstable, and it is difficult to form a unified standard. There are certain safety hazards, which may affect the normal operation of the transmission line.
[0007] Second, manual labor is labor-intensive and inefficient, and in some scenarios, there are risks associated with working at heights.
[0008] Third, large machining equipment cannot be transported to the site for maintenance due to limited space conditions.
[0009] Fourth, traditional turning processing equipment cannot cope with the winding deformation of the horizontal section cable and cannot perform adaptive processing. Utility Model Content
[0010] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a horizontal section high-voltage cable pretreatment mechanical device, which replaces manual grinding and polishing operations on the surface of cable joints by machinery to form a unified and stable joint terminal, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the transmission line.
[0011] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0034] This utility model utilizes a six-axis robot 6 in conjunction with a force-controlled belt sander 8 for on-site machining of horizontal high-voltage cables. A translation system 3 drives the six-axis robot 6 in translation relative to the horizontal cable, extending the robot's operating range and meeting the requirements for cable joint fabrication. A rotation system 5 drives the six-axis robot 6 in rotation relative to the horizontal cable 2, ensuring that the robot can polish the entire circumference while the horizontal cable 2 remains stationary.
[0035] The six-axis robot 6 is the main moving part, with six degrees of freedom, which can cover the vertical cable processing surface area. The quick change device 7 is installed at the end of the six-axis robot 6, using air as the power source to hold the end tool tightly, allowing the robot's tools to be quickly changed.
[0036] A force-controlled sanding belt machine 8 is used for grinding and polishing.

The utility model generates a robot machining trajectory by visually measuring the horizontal cable model, ensuring that the robot's machining is contour-conforming and not affected by cable winding deformation.
[0037] This new tool replaces manual grinding and polishing of cable connectors with machinery, improving cable surface quality. The entire assembly can be modularized and disassembled for on-site assembly and processing. This tool uses visual measurement to generate a horizontal cable model and generate a robot machining trajectory, ensuring that the robot's machining is unaffected by cable deformation.

The translation servo motor 31 and the lead screw linear module 32 are mounted on the weldment base 1, and the rotary support base 4 is mounted on the output end of the lead screw linear module 32. The translation servo motor 31 drives the lead screw in the lead screw linear module 32 to rotate, completing the translation movement, driving the robot processing assembly to translate relative to the horizontal cable 2, thereby increasing the robot's operating range.
[0039] In order to improve the stability during translation, a linear guide rail 33 is installed on the weldment base 1, and the bottom of the rotary support base 4 is sleeved on the linear guide rail 33. The linear guide rail 33 is mainly used for auxiliary load bearing to ensure the stability of the robot's translation movement.

The slewing gear 52 drives the outer ring gear 54 of the slewing bearing 53 to rotate, thereby driving the robot processing assembly to rotate relative to the horizontal cable 2.
[0041] Furthermore, the slewing support base 4 is provided with a slide 41, within which a motor mounting plate 55 is sleeved. The slewing servo motor 51 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 55. A tightening block 56 is mounted within the slide 41 of the slewing support base 4 for tightening the motor mounting plate 55. Two sets of tightening blocks 56 are provided on the slewing support base. These tightening blocks 56 can adjust the relative height of the motor mounting plate 55 via tightening screws, thereby adjusting the tooth clearance between the slewing support bearing 53 and the slewing gear 52, ensuring stable operation of the equipment.
[0042] A dust cover 57 is provided above the slewing bearing 53 to prevent powder generated during the grinding and polishing process from entering the slewing system 5 , thereby ensuring the normal operation of the slewing system 5 .
[0043] The quick-change device 7 includes a daughter plate and a mother plate, which are connected and fixed by air pressure control. The mother plate is connected to the end of the six-axis robot 6, and the daughter plate is connected to the force-controlled sanding machine 8. The quick-change device 7 uses air pressure to control the connection and fixation of the mother plate and the daughter plate, thereby achieving rapid tool replacement.
[0044] A force control unit is provided at the end of the force-controlled sanding belt machine 8 to ensure the contact force between the force-controlled sanding belt machine 8 and the surface of the horizontal cable 2, thereby controlling the grinding and polishing effect.
[0045] Furthermore, a Forma wheel 9 is installed at the bottom of the weldment base 1.
[0046] The Forma wheel 9 includes wheels 91 and foot cups 92, which have two functions of movement and fixation and are mainly used for transportation and storage of the entire equipment. After the equipment arrives at the site, this part is removed and the welding base is directly fixed above the cable steel structure bracket.
[0047] It should be noted that before processing, a visual camera is installed through the quick-change device 7 to scan the horizontal high-voltage cable, and a corresponding robot processing trajectory is generated and sent to the robot.
[0048] The weldment base 1 is welded from square steel tubes and has multiple sets of threaded holes for mounting the forma wheel 9, cable clamp 11, and cable end bracket 12. The weldment base 1 has the same dimensions as the cable steel structure bracket at the power station site and is fixedly connected to the cable steel structure bracket when used on site.
[0049] The cable fixing clamp 11 and the cable end bracket 12 are fixed to the weldment base 1 by bolts. These two components are used to fix the left and right ends of the horizontal cable 2 to prevent the vibration and displacement of the cable during processing from affecting the processing accuracy.
