Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of de-icing devices, specifically a de-icing device for cables. Background Technology
[0002] In winter, cables or wires are often covered with a thick layer of ice. Currently, the ice on wires is mostly removed by manual knocking or by heating. While this method can remove the ice, manual knocking requires workers to climb the tower to reach the wire, which can cause the wire to jump during the process, making it very dangerous.
[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN216851244U discloses a high-efficiency de-icing device for wires and cables, including a mounting frame, an electrical control box, and a camera. The electrical control box is mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and a first walking frame and a second walking frame are mounted on the top of the electrical control box. The first walking frame and the second walking frame are configured with rotational symmetry. The camera is mounted on the top of the first walking frame. A first motor is mounted on the side of the mounting frame. The output shaft of the first motor passes through and extends into the interior of the mounting frame and is connected to a mounting shaft. A connecting column is mounted on the top of the electrical control box between the first walking frame and the second walking frame. The side of the connecting column is connected to the mounting shaft via a directional rope, and a traction rope is mounted on the top of the connecting column.
[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: the device provides two methods of de-icing: knocking de-icing (through a motor and nylon rod) and de-icing (through fuel and pulse igniter). Knocking de-icing may damage the cables, while de-icing may result in uneven de-icing or leave residues due to factors such as fuel supply and ignition effect.
[0005] To address this problem, we propose a cable de-icing device. Utility Model Content

The first motor drives the second gear, thereby causing the first gear and the driving wheel to rotate, and the driven wheel rotates accordingly, so that the device can move flexibly on the cable.
[0012] Preferably, there are three driven wheels and one driving wheel. The driven wheels are respectively disposed between the moving frame and the movable clamping plate. The number of driven wheels exceeds the number of driving wheels, ensuring the stability and balance of the device during movement. At the same time, the placement of the driven wheels between the moving frame and the movable clamping plate helps to better support the cable on both sides, preventing displacement or tipping during de-icing.
[0013] Preferably, the moving structure includes a third motor, a threaded rod, a first slide groove, a second slide groove, a nut, and a slider. The output end of the third motor is connected to the threaded rod via a coupling. The first slider and the second slide groove are respectively located above the moving frame. The threaded rod is disposed inside the first slide groove. The nut is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The slider is slidably connected to the first slide groove. The upper surface of the movable clamping plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the nut and the slider, respectively. The third motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, and the nut and the slider move accordingly, thereby driving the movable clamping plate to move.
[0014] Preferably, a support base is fixedly connected to the lower back of the movable frame and the movable clamping plate. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the support base that is close to each other. A scraper is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod.

[0018] 2. This cable de-icing device features a drive structure design that allows for flexible movement along the cable, adapting to different terrains and cable layouts. Through the cooperation of the driving and driven wheels, and the rotation of the moving structure via a motor-driven three-pronged threaded rod, the nut and slider move accordingly, thereby moving the driven wheels on the movable clamp. This not only improves the stability and balance of the device during movement but also helps to better support both sides of the cable, preventing displacement or tipping during de-icing.

Driven by the motor, the entire de-icing device can move along the cable to achieve continuous and efficient de-icing operations.
[0031] The mobile frame 1 is equipped with a de-icing device on its front side. This device includes a heating unit comprising a heating chamber 7, a protective frame 701, a moisture-absorbing plate 702, a heating strip 703, an air outlet duct 704, and a fan 705.

By adjusting the distance between the movable clamp 101 and the moving frame 1, the de-icing device is ensured to fit tightly against the cable surface. The heating unit is activated, and the heating bar 703 begins to generate heat. The fan 705 blows the heated air onto the cable surface to begin melting the ice layer. The drive mechanism is activated, and motor 206 drives the entire de-icing device to move along the cable, achieving continuous and efficient de-icing operations. Based on the heating and de-icing process, the ice-crushing unit is activated, and motor 403 drives the ice-crushing rod 402 to rotate at high speed, breaking up stubborn ice layers. Simultaneously, the ice-scraping mechanism scrapes the melted ice water or broken ice fragments off the cable surface. The de-icing progress and effect are monitored in real time by camera 3, and the position and parameters of the de-icing device are adjusted as needed to ensure smooth de-icing operations. After the de-icing operation is completed, all equipment is turned off, and any residue on the de-icing device is cleaned, ready for the next use.
