[0058] The following exemplary embodiments are described in detail, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numbers in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0059] In existing technology, inspection robots are typically mounted on overhead power lines and moved along them to inspect them. Currently, inspection robots are typically equipped with GPS locators or high-precision positioning systems to determine their position on the power lines. However, the positioning accuracy of GPS locators is typically around ten meters, which is insufficient for accurately locating the inspection robot's position on the power lines. While high-precision positioning systems can accurately locate the inspection robot's position on the power lines, they are expensive and their performance is easily affected by harsh environments, resulting in reduced positioning accuracy.

[0060] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides an inspection device, including: a device body, a drive structure and a stroke detection. By setting the drive structure, the drive structure is electrically connected to the control mechanism, so that the control mechanism controls the drive structure to drive the device body to move along the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire. By setting the stroke detection structure, the movement parameters of the device body on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire are detected by the stroke detection structure, and the movement parameters are transmitted to the control mechanism. The control mechanism can determine the current position of the device body on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire according to the movement parameters, and then facilitate the control mechanism to control the drive structure so that the drive structure can drive the device body to move to the specified position, so that the inspection device can monitor the specified target at the specified position. The inspection device provided in the embodiment of the present application can accurately determine the current position of the device body on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire through the stroke detection structure and the control mechanism, and the positioning accuracy is high.

[0061] The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 6The inspection equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: an equipment body 100, a driving structure 200 and a stroke detection structure 300. The driving structure 200 and the stroke detection structure 300 are both arranged on the equipment body 100. The driving structure 200 is used to drive the equipment body 100 to move along the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10; a control mechanism is provided on the equipment body 100, and the control mechanism is electrically connected to the stroke detection structure 300 and the driving structure 200.

[0063] The travel detection structure 300 is used to detect the movement parameters of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10, and the control mechanism is configured to determine the current position of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10 based on the movement parameters.

[0064] Among them, overhead transmission lines are a type of power transmission facility erected above the ground, used to transmit electrical energy between two points. Overhead transmission lines are mainly composed of main components such as conductors, ground wires (lightning conductors), poles, insulators, and hardware. These components work together to ensure that current can be safely and efficiently transmitted from the power station to the user end. The conductors, as the main current carriers, usually use steel-core aluminum stranded wire to optimize conductivity and mechanical strength. The ground wire is installed above the conductors and grounded through the poles to reduce the chance of lightning directly hitting the conductors. The poles are used to support the conductors and ground wires, keeping them at a safe distance from the ground and other structures. The insulators ensure electrical isolation between the conductors and the poles to prevent current leakage.

[0065] The inspection device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to be set on the conductor or the ground wire. Alternatively, two inspection devices can be set, one on the conductor and the other on the ground wire.

[0066] Illustratively, the device body 100 includes a housing and a control mechanism located in the housing.

[0067] It is understandable that the movement parameters may include the distance that the device body 100 moves on the overhead power line conductor or the ground wire 10 , as well as the actual speed and acceleration of the device body 100 .

[0068] The inspection device provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a drive structure 200, and the drive structure 200 is electrically connected to the control mechanism, so that the control mechanism controls the drive structure 200 to drive the device body 100 to move along the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10. By providing a stroke detection structure 300, the movement parameters of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 are detected by the stroke detection structure 300, and the movement parameters are transmitted to the control mechanism. The control mechanism can determine the current position of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 according to the movement parameters, and then facilitate the control mechanism to control the drive structure 200 so that the drive structure 200 can drive the device body 100 to move to the specified position, so that the inspection device can monitor the specified target at the specified position. The inspection device provided in the embodiment of the present application can accurately determine the current position of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 through the stroke detection structure 300 and the control mechanism, and the positioning accuracy is high. At the same time, compared with high-precision positioning systems, the inspection equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application has lower costs, better stability, and is not affected by the external environment.

[0069] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the travel detection structure 300 includes a support frame 310, a rotating member 320, and a detection member. The rotating member 320 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 310, which is connected to the device body 100. The detection member is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The rotating member 320 is configured to abut against the overhead power line conductor or ground wire 10. The detection member is configured to detect the rotation parameters of the rotating member 320 to determine the movement parameters of the device body 100 on the overhead power line conductor or ground wire 10.

[0070] Specifically, a support frame 310 is provided to support the rotating member 320 so that the rotating member 320 abuts against the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10. The detection member detects the rotation parameters of the rotating member 320 rotating along the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10 and transmits the rotation parameters to the control mechanism. The control mechanism determines the movement parameters of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10 based on the rotation parameters and the parameters of the rotating member 320.

[0071] The rotation parameters include rotation speed, rotation acceleration, number of rotations, etc. The parameters of the rotating member 320 include the diameter of the rotating member 320 or the outer circumference of the rotating member 320 .

[0072] In a specific implementation, the detection member includes a magnet 330 and a Hall element. The magnet 330 is set on the rotating member 320. The Hall element is electrically connected to the control mechanism. The Hall element determines the rotation parameters of the rotating member 320 by detecting the signal generated by the magnet 330.

[0073] Specifically, the magnet 330 is connected to the rotating member 320 and rotates synchronously with the rotating member 320. Each time the rotating member 320 rotates once, the Hall element detects the magnet and generates a pulse signal. The Hall element transmits the pulse signal to the control mechanism. Based on the pulse signal output by the Hall element and the outer circumference of the rotating member 320, the control mechanism can determine the distance moved by the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10, as well as the speed and acceleration of the device body 100.

[0074] Exemplarily, the Hall element may be a Hall sensor.

[0075] In some embodiments, the device body 100 includes a housing, and the Hall element is located inside the housing.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the travel detection structure 300 further includes at least one elastic member 340 , and the support frame 310 includes a first mounting frame 311 and a second mounting frame 312 , the first mounting frame 311 is used to connect to the device body 100 , and the second mounting frame 312 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 320 .

[0077] The elastic member 340 connects the first mounting frame 311 and the second mounting frame 312 , and the elastic force of the elastic member 340 causes the rotating member 320 to abut against the overhead power line conductor or the ground wire 10 .

[0078] The rotating member 320 is brought into contact with the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10 to ensure the accuracy of the detection member's detection of the rotational parameters of the rotating member 320 rotating along the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10. By providing a first mounting frame 311 and a second mounting frame 312 that are rotatably connected, and an elastic member 340 connecting the first mounting frame 311 and the second mounting frame 312, the position of the rotating member 320 relative to the device body 100 is adjustable. The elasticity of the elastic member 340 allows the rotating member 320 to always abut against overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 10 of different specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the stroke detection structure 300.

[0079] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a specific implementation, the elastic member 340 includes at least one elastic segment 341 , at least one first extension segment 342 and at least one second extension segment 343 , and the elastic segment 341 connects the first extension segment 342 and the second extension segment 343 .

[0080] The elastic section 341 is sleeved on the first mounting frame 311 or the second mounting frame 312, the first extension section 342 is connected to the first mounting frame 311, the second mounting frame 312 is rotatably connected to the first mounting frame 311, and the second extension section 343 abuts against the side of the second mounting frame 312 away from the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10.

[0081] in, Figures 3 to 5 The elastic members 340 are in a natural state. In actual use, that is, when the elastic members 340 are in a compressed state, the first extension section 342 and the second extension section 343 are both located between the first mounting bracket 311 and the second mounting bracket 312 .

[0082] The elasticity of elastic section 341 drives first extension section 342 into contact with first mounting bracket 311. First extension section 342 applies a force to first mounting bracket 311, which forces the first mounting bracket 311 away from second mounting bracket 312. This ensures the connection between first extension section 342 and first mounting bracket 311, thereby ensuring a more stable and reliable connection between elastic member 340. Simultaneously, the elasticity of elastic section 341 drives second extension section 343 toward second mounting bracket 312, applying a force toward the overhead power line conductor or ground wire 10. This ensures that rotating member 320 remains in contact with the overhead power line conductor or ground wire 10, preventing second mounting bracket 312 from moving relative to first mounting bracket 311 toward device body 100.

[0083] Exemplarily, the elastic section 341 is a coil spring.

[0084] Specifically, the first mounting bracket 311 includes a first sleeve 3111, a first connecting member 3112, and at least one limiting plate 3113. Both ends of the first sleeve 3111 are connected to the first connecting member 3112. The limiting plate 3113 is located above the first sleeve 3111 and is connected to the first connecting member 3112. The limiting plate 3113 can limit the rotation angle of the connecting segment relative to the first sleeve, thereby limiting the position of the rotating member 320.

[0085] The second mounting bracket 312 includes a second sleeve 3121, at least one second connecting member 3122, and at least one third sleeve 3123. Both ends of the second sleeve 3121 are connected to the second connecting member 3122, and the rotating member 320 is mounted on the second sleeve 3121. The second connecting member 3122 is correspondingly connected to the third sleeve 3123, which is mounted on the first sleeve 3111. The elastic section 341 is mounted on the third sleeve 3123. The second extension section 343 abuts the underside of the second connecting member 3122, and the first extension section 342 abuts the portion of the first connecting member 3112 located below the second connecting member 3122. The limiting plate 3113 limits the rotational angle of the second connecting member 3122 relative to the first sleeve 3111, thereby limiting the position of the rotating member 320.

[0086] In a specific implementation, at least one of the first extension section 342 and the second extension section 343 is formed by bending.

[0087] The second extension section 343 is bent so that the second extension section 343 can be clamped on the second mounting bracket 312 , so that the connection between the second extension section 343 and the second mounting bracket 312 is more stable and reliable.

[0088] Exemplarily, the first extension section 342 is also bent.

[0089] Reference Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, the driving structure 200 includes a rotating wheel 210 and a first driving member 220. The first driving member 220 is connected to the rotating wheel 210 to drive the rotating wheel 210 to rotate. The rotating wheel 210 is used to abut against the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10. The rotating wheel 210 is used to rotate relative to the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 to drive the device body 100 to move along the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10.

[0090] The first driving member 220 is provided to drive the rotating wheel 210 to rotate on the overhead transmission line 10. The rotating wheel 210 rotates on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10, so that the rotating wheel 210 moves along the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10, thereby driving the device body 100 to move along the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10.

[0091] In some embodiments, the rotating wheel 210 is a plastic shell, which is sleeved on the first driving member 220 .

[0092] The plastic shell is directly sleeved on the first driving member 220 , so that the volume and weight of the rotating wheel 210 are smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the weight of the inspection equipment.

[0093] The plastic shell contacts the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 , and the friction between the plastic shell and the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 is relatively large, thereby preventing the rotating wheel 210 from slipping when rotating on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 .

[0094] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first driving member 220 is a first motor, and the rotating wheel 210 is sleeved on the first motor.

[0095] The first motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator is driven to rotate relative to the stator to drive the plastic shell to rotate relative to the stator, that is, the plastic shell rotates relative to the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10.

[0096] Reference Figure 11 In some embodiments, the first driving member 220 includes a second motor 221 and a fixing frame 222 . The fixing frame 222 is connected to the second motor 221 , and the rotating wheel 210 is sleeved on the fixing frame 222 .

[0097] A fixing frame 222 is provided to support the plastic shell, and the fixing frame 222 is driven by the second motor 221 to rotate relative to the device body 100 , thereby driving the plastic shell to rotate relative to the overhead power line conductor or the ground wire 10 .

[0098] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the driving structure 200 further includes a heat sink 230 , which is connected to the first driving member 220 , and is used to dissipate heat for the first driving member 220 .

[0099] When the first driving member 220 is in operation, a large amount of heat is generated, which increases the temperature of the first driving member 220 and affects the operation of the first driving member 220. Therefore, a heat sink 230 is provided on the driving structure 200 to dissipate heat from the first driving member 220, thereby reducing the temperature of the first driving member 220.

[0100] Reference Figure 10 In a specific implementation, the heat sink 230 includes a mounting member 231 and at least one heat sink 232 provided on the mounting member 231 , and the mounting member 231 is connected to the first driving member 220 .

[0101] The heat of the first driving member 220 is transferred to the mounting member 231, and the heat on the mounting member 231 can be transferred to the heat sink 232, thereby transferring the heat of the first driving member 220 to dissipate the heat of the first driving member 220. At the same time, heat exchange occurs between the mounting member 231 and the heat sink 232 and the air to dissipate the heat of the mounting member 231 and the heat sink 232, thereby promoting the heat dissipation of the first driving member 220.

[0102] In a specific implementation, there are multiple heat sinks 232 , and the heat sinks 232 are arranged at intervals on a surface of the mounting member 231 facing away from the first driving member 220 .

[0103] The plurality of heat sinks 232 are provided to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the heat dissipation element 230 , thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation element 230 .

[0104] In a specific implementation, the heat sinks 232 are connected to each other.

[0105] In this way, the heat sinks 232 support each other, thereby improving the stability of the heat sinks 232 .

[0106] In a specific implementation, the projection portion of the mounting member 231 on the first driving member 220 is located outside the first driving member 220 .

[0107] Exemplarily, the mounting member 231 includes an abutting portion and an outward expansion portion, the abutting portion abuts against the first driving member 220, the outward expansion portion is arranged on the peripheral side of the abutting portion, and the outward expansion portion extends toward the side away from the first driving member 220 to enhance the heat dissipation effect of the mounting member 231.

[0108] In this way, the heat dissipation area of ​​the mounting member 231 is larger, thereby making the heat dissipation effect of the mounting member 231 on the first driving member 220 better.

[0109] In some examples, the projection of the mounting member 231 on the rotating wheel 210 is located outside the rotating wheel 210, so that the mounting member 231 guides and protects the rotating wheel 210, preventing the rotating wheel 210 from deviating from the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10 and detaching from the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10, thereby preventing the inspection equipment from falling from the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10.

[0110] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the inspection equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application further includes a ranging structure 400, which is arranged on the equipment body 100. The ranging structure 400 is used to detect whether there is an obstacle on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10, and when an obstacle is detected, the distance between the equipment body 100 and the obstacle is measured. The ranging structure 400 is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0111] Specifically, when the distance measurement structure 400 measures the distance between the device body and the obstacle, it transmits the measured distance to the control mechanism. The control mechanism then determines the distance between the device body 100 and the obstacle after it moves on the overhead power line conductor or ground wire 10 based on the distance measured by the distance measurement structure 400 and the movement parameters of the device body 100 on the overhead power line conductor or ground wire 10 detected by the travel detection structure 300, thereby preventing the device body 100 from colliding with the obstacle.

[0112] In a specific implementation, the ranging structure 400 includes at least two ranging components 410, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the device body 100. The ranging components 410 are used to respectively measure the distance between the obstacles on the overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 10 on both sides of the device body 100 and the device body 100.

[0113] Among them, by setting up two distance measuring parts 410, when the inspection equipment is located on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10, it is possible to respectively detect whether there are obstacles on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10 on both sides of the equipment body 100, and measure the distance between the obstacle and the equipment body 100, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement of the distance measuring structure 400.

[0114] Exemplarily, the distance measuring component 410 may be an ultrasonic sensor, a distance measuring sensor or other sensors.

[0115] Reference Figure 1 In a specific implementation, the inspection equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes a position detection component 500, which is used to be set on the equipment body 100. The position detection component 500 is used to detect the position of the equipment body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10, and the position detection component 500 is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0116] A position detector 500 is provided to detect the position of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10, thereby preventing the device body 100 from colliding with both ends of the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10. The position detector 500 is electrically connected to the control mechanism to transmit the position of the device body 100 on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10 to the control mechanism.

[0117] Exemplarily, the position detection component 500 is a GPS positioning component.

[0118] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the inspection device provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes a brake structure 600 , which is disposed on the device body 100 , and the brake structure 600 is located on one side of the drive structure 200 .

[0119] The drive structure 200 includes at least one first stopper 233, and the brake structure 600 includes a second drive member 610 and a second stopper 620. The second drive member 610 drives the second stopper 620 to move relative to the drive structure 200, so that the first stopper 233 abuts the second stopper 620, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating wheel 210 of the drive structure 200. The second drive member 610 is electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0120] Specifically, when the driving structure 200 moves along the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10, the first limiting member 233 rotates relative to the device body 100. When the inspection device needs to stop, the control mechanism controls the second driving member 610, causing the second driving member 610 to drive the second limiting member 620 to move relative to the driving structure 200, so that the second limiting member 620 extends to one side of the first limiting member 233 and abuts against the front or rear side of the rotation of the first limiting member 233, thereby limiting the rotation of the first limiting member 233 relative to the device body 100, thereby limiting the movement of the driving structure 200 along the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10, thereby causing the device body 100 to stop moving on the overhead transmission line conductor or the ground wire 10.

[0121] Illustratively, the device body 100 includes a shell, the driving structure 200 is arranged on the shell, the second driving member 610 and the second limiting member 620 are located in the shell, and the second driving member 610 drives the second limiting member 620 to extend out of the shell and abut against the first limiting member 233.

[0122] In a specific implementation, the first limiting member 233 is a protrusion provided on the driving structure 200 .

[0123] The second stopper 620 abuts against one side of the protrusion, thereby limiting the movement of the driving structure 200 along the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10. By setting the first stopper 233 as a protrusion, the second stopper 620 abuts against the first stopper 233.

[0124] Exemplarily, the second limiting member 620 is a limiting rod.

[0125] In some embodiments, there are multiple first limiting members 233 , and the first limiting members 233 are disposed on the driving structure 200 at intervals.

[0126] Among them, by setting the number of first limit members 233 to be multiple, the second limit member 620 can abut against multiple first limit members 233 to stop the device body 100 from moving on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10, thereby quickly stopping the device body 100 from moving on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 10.

[0127] Exemplarily, the first limiting member 233 is located on a surface of the heat sink 230 facing away from the first driving member 220 , and each first limiting member 233 is spaced apart on the circumference of the heat sink 230 so that the second limiting member 620 abuts against the first limiting member 233 .

[0128] In a specific implementation, the second driving member 610 is an electromagnet.

[0129] The second limiting member 620 is driven by the electromagnet to move relative to the driving structure 200 , so that the second limiting member 620 abuts against the first limiting member 233 .
