[0029] To solve the problem that the robot used for contact line detection cannot cross obstacles, please refer to Figures 1-6The utility model provides a contact net climbs line detection robot, can when carrying out contact line detection, autonomous striding over obstacles. This detection robot has four groups two two misplacement arrangement's guide post mechanism 1, four groups guide post mechanism 1 between installation has five groups for the detection unit 2 of adaptive patrol line, is provided with four groups for the cooperation detection unit 2 and keeps away from the obstacle crossing mechanism 3 between two adjacent detection units 2, four groups guide post mechanism 1's bottom is installed with base 5, is installed with the jacking mechanism 4 for the cooperation crossing mechanism 3 and makes the robot pass through curve and zigzag line patrol line on base 5. Through the cooperation application of guide post mechanism 1, detection unit 2, crossing mechanism 3 and jacking mechanism 4, make the climbing detection robot have adaptive patrol line and over curve, avoid the function of barrier, and the climbing detection robot can pass through the detection of contact line abrasion and carry abrasion detection instrument. Wherein utilize detection unit 2 and detect whether there is an obstacle on contact line, subsequently in the corresponding action of detection unit 2 electric connection crossing mechanism 3 and jacking mechanism 4, make the whole robot striding over obstacles more stably.
[0030] In order to guarantee the obstacle crossing stability of climbing detection robot and the detection precision when crossing obstacles, as shown in Figures 1-2 Guide post mechanism 1 is composed of guide wheel 101, guide pillar 102, torsional spring 103 and seat body structure 104, wherein seat body structure 104 is detachably connected on base 5 through bolts, guide pillar 102 is rotatably installed on seat body structure 104, torsional spring 103 is sleeved on the outer surface of guide pillar 102 and located in the interior of seat body structure 104, and guide wheel 101 is installed on one end of the top of guide pillar 102. By mounting guide post mechanism 1 on base 5, when the robot performs obstacle crossing action, both ends of guide post mechanism 1 are suspended on the contact, so that the phenomenon that the robot sinks to one end does not occur, and the application of torsional spring 103 makes guide wheel 101 have the function of left and right swinging and automatic return, so that the whole guide post mechanism 1 can adapt to different extension directions of contact line.

The emitter in the reflection sensor 201 emits a light beam, and the receiver in the reflection sensor 201 receives the light emitted from the emitter. When there is no obstacle on the contact line, the receiver normally receives the light beam emitted by the emitter, and vice versa, when there is an obstacle on the contact line, the light beam emitted by the emitter is blocked by the obstacle, so that the receiver detects that the light intensity of the light beam is reduced or there is none, and then it converts these changes into electrical signals and processes them through the internal circuit, thereby realizing the adaptive line patrol function of the robot. In addition, the obstacle crossing mechanism 3 and the jacking mechanism 4 are fed back, so that they make corresponding actions. Thus, the timeliness of obstacle crossing is ensured.
[0032] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the obstacle crossing mechanism 3 includes a support assembly 301 mounted on the base 5, and an obstacle avoidance assembly 302 mounted on the support assembly 301. The support assembly 301 includes a fixed seat 3011 mounted on the top surface of the base 5, a motorized push rod 3012 rotatably connected to the fixed seat 3011, a double-plate connecting shaft 3013 rotatably connected to the free end of the motorized push rod 3012, a link one 3014 rotatably connected to the middle part of the double-plate connecting shaft 3013, and a link two 3015 rotatably connected to the tail end of the double-plate connecting shaft 3013. The obstacle avoidance assembly 302 includes a rectangular housing 3021 rotatably mounted on the link one 3014 and the link two 3015, a connecting seat 3022 fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rectangular housing 3021, a drive wheel 3023 rotatably connected to the connecting seat 3022, a hollow cup motor 3024 mounted on the top of the connecting seat 3022, a gear one 3025 drivingly connected to the output end of the hollow cup motor 3024, a gear two 3026 mounted on the shaft of the drive wheel 3023 inside the connecting seat 3022, and a V-belt 3027 sleeved on the outer surfaces of the gear one 3025 and the gear two 3026. The rectangular housing 3021 is divided into upper and lower parts, one end of the connecting seat 3022 is in a cylindrical arc shape, which is fixed by bolts through the upper and lower parts of the rectangular housing 3021, and a certain space is reserved inside the rectangular housing 3021, so that the entire drive wheel 3023 part can be adjusted by a certain amount of rotation and movement.
[0033] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the jacking mechanism 4 includes two T-shaped mounting seats 401, a walking wheel 402 is rotatably mounted between the two T-shaped mounting seats 401, a flat plate one 403 is mounted at the bottom of the two T-shaped mounting seats 401, a flat plate two 404 is arranged below the flat plate one 403, a damping spring 405 is mounted between the flat plate one 403 and the flat plate two 404, a light shaft one 406 is flange-mounted on both sides of the top of the flat plate one 403, a light shaft two 407 is flange-mounted between the flat plate two 404 and the base 5, and a gasket 408 is sleeved on the light shaft two 407. The jacking mechanism 4 includes the part above the flat plate two 404, which can be regarded as a whole. In actual application, the contact line is in contact with the walking wheel 402. Three sliding grooves are formed in the flat plate two 404, and the upper part of the mechanism is fixedly connected to the light shaft of the light shaft two 407 through bolts and round nuts, so that the jacking mechanism 4 has a certain movement adjustment capability. The jacking mechanism 4 is connected to the base 5 through the flange, the gasket 408 and the light shaft two 407. The connection between the flange, the gasket 408 and the light shaft two 407 enables the jacking mechanism 4 to have a certain rotation adjustment capability. Therefore, the obstacle surmounting mechanism 3 and the jacking mechanism 4 cooperate with the robot to move along a curved line and a zigzag line.
[0034] In actual application, the obstacle surmounting mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 5 by means of the fixed seat 3011, the bolt and the connecting rod one 3014, and cooperates with the detection unit 2 to surmount obstacles. When the detection unit 2 detects an obstacle, the electric push rod 3012 moves, drives the connected connecting rod one 3014, double-plate connecting shaft 3013 and connecting rod two 3015 to move correspondingly, and realizes swinging towards the outside, thereby achieving the purpose of avoiding obstacles.
[0035] The power of the wire climbing detection robot is provided by the hollow cup motor 3024 in the obstacle surmounting mechanism 3. By operating the hollow cup motor 3024, the gear one 3025 is controlled to rotate towards the set direction, and then the rotating force is transmitted to the gear two 3026 through the triangular belt 3027, so that the driving wheel 3023 rotates along the contact line, and the overall movement of the robot is realized.
[0036] In addition, since the overhead line detection robot has four groups of obstacle surmounting mechanisms 3, when one group is opened, the other groups of rollers continue to rotate, and the detection unit 2 is used to realize the functions of automatic swinging and autonomous obstacle surmounting of the obstacle surmounting mechanism 3.
