Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable snow removal technology, specifically to a clamp-type drone snow removal device. Background Technology

[0002] Drone-based cable clearing is a highly efficient and safe new method of snow removal. The drone is equipped with specialized snow removal devices, such as snowplows or hot air systems. Operators precisely control the drone to fly it to a suitable height above the cable. Then, the drone uses its own power, in conjunction with the snow removal devices and hot air, to clear the snow accumulated on the cable.

[0003] Compared to traditional snow removal methods, drone-based cable snow removal offers significant advantages. First, drones can quickly and accurately locate areas with thick snow accumulation and remove it immediately, greatly improving snow removal efficiency. Second, drone operations reduce the safety hazards of manual climbing and snow removal, ensuring the safety of workers. Furthermore, drones can operate at high altitudes, avoiding interference from complex ground environments.

[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN118281798A provides a power cable de-icing and snow removal device, belonging to the field of power cable cleaning technology. It uses a drive motor to retract a steel wire rope, causing the lifting ring to contact the connecting block and compressing the top rod. The top rod rotates through the engagement of an external thread with an internal threaded hole on the lifting ring. The top rod, in conjunction with a square rod, causes a turntable to rotate. The turntable pulls an opening and closing rope, compressing an arc-shaped spring on an arc-shaped closing plate, ultimately exposing the opening on the lifting ring and engaging it with the cable. At this point, the drive motor rotates in the opposite direction, activating a drone to pull the lifting ring. Under the action of a return spring, the arc-shaped closing plate forms a closed loop around the lifting ring. Finally, the drone is controlled to move along the cable to achieve the purpose of snow removal.

[0005] However, existing drone snow removal devices have a complex structure and require precise control of the drone's movement to attach the snowplow to the cable. This makes it inconvenient to quickly and automatically wrap the cable, resulting in increased snow removal costs and decreased efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a clamp-type drone snow removal device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, such as the complex structure of existing drone snow removal devices, the need for precise control of drone movement to attach the snow remover to the cable, the inconvenience of quickly and automatically wrapping the cable, resulting in increased snow removal costs and decreased efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clamp-type drone snow removal device, comprising:

[0008] Two sets of inverted U-shaped frames are arranged at intervals. Each inverted U-shaped frame is equipped with a connecting seat, and the two sets of connecting seats are connected by a connecting rod. Both ends of the bottom of each inverted U-shaped frame are equipped with extension frames, and the two sets of extension frames are arranged with downward openings.

[0009] At least two sets of arc-shaped blocks are provided. Mounting shafts are provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame. The midpoints of the two sets of arc-shaped blocks are hinged to the mounting shafts. The two sets of arc-shaped blocks are arranged in an inclined, staggered manner.

[0010] A pull rope is installed on the inverted U-shaped frame, and its end is connected to the drone.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a support frame is provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame, and a through hole is provided at the end of the support frame. Two sets of pull ropes are provided, and the two sets of pull ropes pass through the two sets of through holes and are connected to the drone.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, limit posts are provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame, and the outer surface of the arc-shaped block abuts against the limit posts when the arc-shaped block is rotated to a vertical position.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a weight-reducing hole is provided at the top of the arc-shaped block when it is tilted.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the ends of the two sets of parallel extension frames are connected by a reinforcing rod.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a counterweight is provided at the end of the extension frame.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In use, the device is connected to a drone via a pull rope. The drone's flight propels the device, allowing it to be quickly mounted on a cable through a downward-facing opening in the extension frame. As the device moves downwards, the cable pushes the arc-shaped blocks to rotate along the mounting axis until both sets of arc-shaped blocks wrap around the cable to be cleared of snow. The drone then flies along the cable's extension direction, causing the device to slide along the cable. The two sets of arc-shaped blocks remove the snow adhering to the cable. Compared to traditional snow removal devices, this device can quickly wrap and remove snow from cables, and its simple structure eliminates the need for complex control circuits, effectively reducing the economic cost of snow removal and improving snow removal efficiency.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0025] Example:

[0026] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a clamp-type drone snow removal device, including two sets of inverted U-shaped frames 1 arranged at intervals. The inverted U-shaped frames 1 are provided with connecting seats 2, and the two sets of connecting seats 2 are connected by connecting rods 3. Both ends of the bottom of the inverted U-shaped frames 1 are provided with extension frames 11, and the two sets of extension frames 11 are arranged with downward openings. The inverted U-shaped frames 1 are also provided with pull ropes 10, and the ends of the pull ropes 10 are connected to the drone.

[0027] In use, the device is connected to the drone via the pull rope 10 and controlled to fly so that it follows the drone's movement. After the drone flies to a certain height, the device is positioned above the cable. Then, the drone is controlled to descend and is then mounted on the cable via two sets of open extension frames 11. The cable can be easily inserted into the inverted U-shaped frame 1 by the guidance of the open extension frames 11.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, in this embodiment, the device further includes at least two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7. Mounting shafts 6 are provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame 1. The midpoints of the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7 are hinged to the mounting shafts 6, and the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7 are arranged in an inclined, staggered manner. During the process of the cable entering the inverted U-shaped frame 1, the cable pushes the upper parts of the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7, causing the arc-shaped blocks 7 to rotate along the mounting shafts 6 until the cable is fully inserted. At this point, the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7 cooperate to wrap around the cable. Furthermore, a weight-reducing hole 8 is provided at the top of the arc-shaped block 7 in its inclined state. The weight-reducing hole 8 lowers the center of gravity of the arc-shaped block 7, ensuring that the arc-shaped block 7 maintains its inclined state when not affected by external forces, thus ensuring that the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7 cooperate to form a downward opening.

[0029] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, limit posts 9 are provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame 1. When the arc-shaped block 7 is rotated to a vertical position, the outer surface of the arc-shaped block 7 abuts against the limit post 9. The limit posts 9 limit the rotation range of the arc-shaped block 7, so that when the device is fully installed on the cable, the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7 can just wrap around the cable after rotation.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, support frames 4 are provided on both sides of the inverted U-shaped frame 1. Through holes 5 are opened at the ends of the support frames 4. Two sets of pull ropes 10 are provided, each passing through one of the two sets of through holes 5 and connected to the drone. The two sets of pull ropes 10 increase the balance of the device, preventing tilting during movement and improving the reliability of snow removal. The ends of the two parallel extension frames 11 are connected by reinforcing rods 13, which increase the stability of the device structure and extend its service life. Counterweights 12 are provided at the ends of the extension frames 11, lowering the device's center of gravity and preventing it from tipping or tilting while moving along the cable.

[0031] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0032] When in use, the device is connected to a drone via a pull rope 10. During the drone's flight, the device moves and can be quickly mounted on a cable through the downward opening of the extension frame 11. As the device moves downward, the cable pushes the arc-shaped blocks 7 to rotate along the mounting shaft 6 until the two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7 wrap around the cable to be cleared of snow. Then, the drone is controlled to fly along the extension direction of the cable, causing the device to slide along the cable. The two sets of arc-shaped blocks 7 can remove the snow attached to the cable. Compared with traditional snow removal devices, this device can quickly wrap and remove snow from cables, and its simple structure eliminates the need for complicated control circuits, effectively reducing the economic cost of snow removal and improving snow removal efficiency.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
