Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in particular to a UAV wire stripping device. Background Art

[0002] Overhead urban distribution lines typically use polyethylene-insulated conductors to transmit power. To accommodate urban development, branch lines often need to be drawn from existing distribution lines. During branch line construction, workers must select a suitable location on the intact conductor and strip a section of the polyethylene insulation to expose the conductor's metal core. The branch line's metal core is then connected in parallel to the existing conductor's metal core using hardware.

[0003] Currently, the primary method for stripping insulation from insulated distribution conductors is mechanical stripping using a rotating, handheld tool. In situations where an insulated boom truck is unavailable, live wire stripping workers can only use specialized equipment such as insulated platform ladders and centipede ladders, or employ ground-potential insulated rods.

[0004] Mechanical wire strippers have problems such as damaging the metal core surface of the wire, poor operability, and high requirements for workers. Therefore, technicians in the power industry and other industries have been exploring and researching solutions and devices for using drones as platforms to connect to intelligent wire strippers to strip wire insulation.

[0005] Based on this, the existing technology has problems such as high labor intensity of setting up operating equipment and operating personnel, and potential safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a UAV wire stripping device to solve the problems of high labor intensity and potential safety hazards in setting up operating equipment and operating personnel proposed in the above background technology.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: a UAV wire stripping device, comprising a hoisting device, a wire stripper body, a main body bracket, a power system, a power module, a control system, a monitoring system, a hook, and an emergency release device;

[0008] The side of the main frame is an inverted V-shaped structure, and the middle of the inverted V-shaped structure is provided with an inverted U-shaped rod;

[0009] The power system and power module are installed on the brackets on the opposite sides below the main bracket;

[0010] The wire stripper body is mounted above the inverted U-shaped rod in the middle of the main frame;

[0011] The control system, monitoring system and emergency release device are installed on the load-bearing platform above the main support;

[0012] The hook of the emergency detachment device is connected to the drone through a hoisting device.

[0013] Preferably, the power system includes two ducted motors, and the two ducted motors are respectively installed on both sides of the front end of the bracket below the main body bracket.

[0014] Preferably, the main frame is made of epoxy resin material.

[0015] Preferably, the hook is in a K-shaped structure, and there are two groups of hooks symmetrically arranged on the bearing platform above the main support.

[0016] Preferably, the emergency disengagement device includes a hook, a motor and a limiting rod, and the hook is connected to the motor through the limiting rod, and the limiting rod is adapted to the through hole on the side of the hook.

[0017] Preferably, the power module is installed in the middle of the rear end of the bracket below the main bracket.

[0018] Compared to existing technologies, the present invention offers the following advantages: This drone live-work connection and power system, combined with an intelligent wire stripping device, enables autonomous, high-altitude wire stripping operations by drones across all terrains. The connection module organically integrates the drone with the autonomous live-work wire stripping device. Ground personnel simply use a remote control to remotely operate the drone to locate the construction site, and the wire stripping device intelligently strips the wires with a single click. This eliminates the need for temporary work platforms or tower or pole climbing, preventing injuries or safety risks associated with manual labor under harsh conditions. This device also features a forced escape emergency module, further enhancing operational safety. The modular design of the connection module provides a high degree of flexibility.

[0025] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] An embodiment of the present invention:

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a lifting device 1, a wire stripper body 2, a main body bracket 3, a power system 4, a power module 5, a control system 6, a monitoring system 7, a hook 8, an emergency release device 9, a motor 10 and a limit rod 11;

[0028] The main frame 3 is made of epoxy resin material, and the side surface is in an inverted V-shaped structure, with an inverted U-shaped rod in the middle of the inverted V-shaped structure.

[0029] The main support 3 is used to carry all the equipment of the supporting device, including the lifting device 1, the wire stripper body 2, the power system 4, the power module 5, the control system 6, the monitoring system 7, the emergency release device 9 and the motor 10, so that the device has good insulation and structural stability.

[0030] The control system 6 , the monitoring system 7 , the emergency release device 9 and the motor 10 are installed on the load-bearing platform above the main frame 3 .

[0031] The power module 5 is installed in the middle of the rear end of the bracket below the main bracket 3, and uses its own gravity to apply torque to the main bracket 3 to balance the reaction torque generated when stripping the insulation layer of the wire.

[0032] The wire stripper body 2 is installed above the inverted U-shaped rod in the middle of the main body bracket 3, and the wire passes through the inner side of the inverted U-shaped rod and is placed inside the cutter.

[0033] The monitoring device 7 includes a camera device, which transmits the monitored images to the ground controller in real time, so that the ground staff can immediately discover unexpected situations in the wire stripping process and take timely response measures.

[0034] The emergency release device 9 includes a hook 8 , a motor 10 and a limiting rod 11 .

[0035] The hook 8 is connected to the drone via the lifting device 1 .

[0036] The hook 8 is in a K-shaped structure, and there are two groups of hooks 8 symmetrically arranged on the bearing platform above the main frame 3.

[0037] A through hole that matches the limiting rod 11 is provided on the side of the hook 8, and a circular hole that is equal in size to the through hole of the hook 8 and coaxially aligned is provided at the lower end of the lifting device 1.

[0038] The hook 8 is connected to the lifting device 1 through a limiting rod 11.

[0039] The limiting rod 11 is installed on the through hole on the hook 8, and the connecting rod on the motor 10 is connected to the hook 8 through the limiting rod 11. By controlling the rotation of the connecting rod of the motor 10 and then controlling the position of the limiting rod 11, the connection and disconnection of the hook 8 and the lifting device 1 are achieved.

[0040] The power system 4 includes two ducted motors with a thrust of approximately 650g, and the two ducted motors are respectively installed on both sides of the front end of the bracket below the main bracket 3. By adjusting the speed of the ducted motor, the size of the balancing torque can be accurately controlled to achieve dynamic adaptive compensation, so that the entire mechanism is in the most stable state when working.

[0041] Install the control system 6, monitoring system 7, emergency release device 9 and motor 10 on the load-bearing platform above the main support 3; then install the power module 5 in the middle position of the rear end of the support below the main support 3; the two ducted motors of the power system 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the front end of the support below the main support 3; then install the wire stripper body 2 above the inverted U-shaped rod in the middle of the main support 3; then connect the hook 8 to the lifting device 1 through the limit rod 11, and then connect the connecting rod on the motor 10 to the limit rod 11; finally, connect the drone to the lifting device 1.

[0042] The entire device is powered by power module 5 and activated by control system 6. Based on the images captured by monitoring system 7, the ground controller controls the drone to its target location and opens the wire stripper body 2 to remove the wire insulation. During the stripping process, the cutter applies a torque to the wire insulation. The speed of the two ducted motors is controlled to adjust the torque they exert on the main frame 3. Simultaneously, the gravitational torque of power module 5 overcomes the reaction torque generated by the wire insulation, achieving torque balance and dynamic adaptive compensation, keeping the entire mechanism in its most stable state during operation.

[0043] In addition, during the wire stripping process, if the monitoring system 7 finds that the wire insulation is entangled in the wire stripper body 2 or wrapped around the wire, and the wire stripper is stuck, the ground staff can control the control system 6 through the ground controller to issue instructions to rotate the connecting rod connecting the motor 10 and the limit rod 11, so that the limit rod 11 moves, and the lifting device 1 is disconnected from the hook 8, so that the drone is separated from the main bracket 3 and flies away, while leaving the main bracket 3 and the wire stripper on the wire, thereby ensuring the safety of the equipment.
