[0028] An insulating frame 1, wherein an opening 11 is provided on one side of the insulating frame 1 along the length direction;

[0029] A walking arm device 2, the walking arm device 2 is arranged above the insulating frame 1, and the walking arm device 2 includes two walking arm groups arranged along the length direction of the insulating frame 1;

[0030] A moving device 3, wherein the moving device 3 is provided in the insulating frame 1;

[0031] A cleaning device 4 is provided on the moving device 3 and includes two cleaning groups provided along the width direction of the moving device 3;

[0032] An electric control device is provided in the insulating frame 1 , and the walking arm device 2 , the moving device 3 and the cleaning device 4 are electrically connected to the electric control device respectively.

[0033] The utility model discloses a live cleaning device for transmission line insulators, comprising an insulating frame 1, a walking arm device 2, a moving device 3, a cleaning device 4 and an electric control device, wherein the walking arm device 2 is arranged above the insulating frame 1, and the moving device 3, the cleaning device 4 and the electric control device are arranged on the inner side of the insulating frame 1 through the opening 11. The live cleaning device is driven by a drone and placed on the transmission line so that the two walking arm groups are respectively in contact with the transmission line. Under the control of the electric control device, the two walking arm groups are respectively moved along the transmission line to drive the insulating frame 1 to move, and the moving device 3 is controlled to drive the cleaning device 4 to pass through the opening 11 and penetrate into or be pulled out of the insulating frame 1. When the cleaning device 4 is located outside the opening 11, the two cleaning groups clean the transmission line insulators. The live cleaning device disclosed in the present application reduces the steps of manual participation, improves the cleaning efficiency and has higher safety.

[0034] The walking arm group includes a first guide rail 21, two moving seats 22 and two walking arm mechanisms 23.

The two walking arm mechanisms 23 are respectively mounted on the two moving seats 22 in a one-to-one correspondence. The first guide rail 21 is arranged along the width direction of the insulating frame 1. The two moving seats 22 respectively drive the two walking arm mechanisms 23 to move toward each other, so that the two walking arm mechanisms 23 respectively contact the two transmission lines. Otherwise, they avoid the two transmission lines, so that the drone can drive the live cleaning equipment away from the transmission lines.

[0035] The movable seat 22 includes a slider 221, two connecting plates 222, and two pushing mechanisms 223. The slider 221 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 21.

The support frame 234 is connected to the lifting unit 235, and the walking wheel 233 is installed on the transmission line. The first rotating motor 232 drives the walking wheel 233 to roll, and the lifting unit 235 drives two clamping rollers 236 toward one side of the walking wheel 233 and presses it under the transmission line, thereby clamping the transmission line, increasing the friction between the walking wheel 233 and the transmission line, and making the walking arm device 2 tightly connected to the transmission line, reducing the shaking between the live cleaning equipment and the transmission line.

[0037] A slide groove 237 is provided on one side of the column 231, and the lifting unit 235 includes a clamping block 2351, a rack 2352, a fixing seat 2353, a second rotating motor 2354 and a gear 2355. The clamping block 2351 is slidably clamped in the slide groove 237 and connected to the support frame 234, the fixing seat 2353 is provided on the support frame 234, the second rotating motor 2354 is provided on the fixing seat 2353, the rack 2352 is fixed on the column 231, and the gear 2355 is provided in the fixing seat 2353 and connected to the support frame 234.

[0038] The moving device 3 includes two second guide rails 31, two sliding seats 32, a connecting member 33 and a pushing cylinder 34. The two guide rails 31 are respectively arranged on both sides of the insulating frame 1. The two sliding seats 32 are respectively slidably mounted on the two second guide rails 31. The two ends of the connecting member 33 are respectively connected to the two sliding seats 32. The pushing cylinder 34 is fixed in the insulating frame 1. The output end of the pushing cylinder 34 is connected to the connecting member 33. The connecting member 33 is pushed to move by the pushing cylinder 34, thereby driving the two sliding seats 32 to move along the two second guide rails 31 respectively. The structure is simple.

[0039] The cleaning group includes a robotic arm 41, a fixed plate 42, a third rotating motor 43 and a cleaning roller 44. The robotic arm 41 is arranged on the moving device 3, the fixed plate 42 is fixed on the robotic arm 41, the third rotating motor 43 is fixed on the fixed plate 42, and the cleaning roller 44 is connected to the output end of the third rotating motor 43.

For different sizes of insulators and different sizes of intervals between two adjacent transmission lines, the degree of freedom of the four-axis robotic arm is greater than the degree of freedom of an ordinary driving mechanism. The distance between the cleaning rollers 44 of the two cleaning groups and the angle between the cleaning rollers 44 and the insulators can be adjusted, and the applicability is high.

[0040] In actual working scenarios, the live cleaning equipment can be brought to the transmission line by a drone, reducing the impact of complex terrain on equipment transportation, and the live cleaning equipment also includes a plurality of buckles 5 provided on the insulating frame 1, which can be quickly connected to the drone through the buckles 5, without the need for manual binding of fixed ropes, greatly reducing the time required for disassembly and assembly, and when the drone brings the live cleaning equipment to a high transmission line, there is no need to manually climb the transmission line to disassemble and assemble the connecting structure. After the live cleaning equipment is brought to the transmission line by the drone, it can be separated for the next transportation operation, thereby improving overall work efficiency.

[0041] The live cleaning equipment also includes two visual modules 6 respectively arranged on both sides of the insulating frame 1 along the length direction. The two visual modules 6 are electrically connected to the electronic control device respectively. The visual modules 6 detect the environment on the front and rear sides and transmit the detection signal to the electronic control device to avoid obstruction by obstacles and position deviation, which may affect the normal progress of the cleaning work.

[0042] Furthermore, the electronic control device includes a power supply and a control host, the control host includes a computer of an STM32 system, and the visual module 6 includes a camera.
