Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable blasting and de-icing technology, specifically to a mounted and detachable component for de-icing operations using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Background Technology
[0002] In the process of removing ice from overhead cables, considering both safety and operational difficulty, the current main approach is to use drones for assistance, including drone tapping and drone blasting.
[0003] In the case of drone-based blasting operations, a drone carries a blasting device to a corresponding location on an overhead power line. The vibration generated by the blast causes the cable to sway, thus achieving the de-icing effect. However, there are attitude requirements for the blasting device mounted on the overhead power line. The gas nozzle must be vertically downward to ensure that the remnants of the blasting device fall freely after the explosion, preventing horizontal splashing and damage to surrounding wires. This means that the attitude of the blasting device when clamping the cable is fixed; however, the drone must detach smoothly after clamping. This utility model proposes a technical solution to address this issue. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting and detachable component for UAV de-icing operations. In the connection process between the blasting device and the UAV in UAV blasting de-icing, it is necessary to satisfy both the mounting and fixing process between the blasting device and the overhead cable, and the separation process between the blasting device and the blasting device during blasting.
[0005] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a detachable component for de-icing operations by unmanned aerial vehicles, including an upper clamping frame, a lower clamping frame, a blasting component and an electric actuator, wherein the upper clamping frame and the lower clamping frame are rotatably connected at one end, and the blasting component is installed at the other end of the lower clamping frame;
[0006] The electric actuator has a connecting assembly plate installed at one end of the upper and lower clamping frames. A lower stop plate is rotatably installed on the lower side of the connecting assembly plate. An upper stop plate is provided on the upper clamping frame. A transmission rod corresponding to the upper and lower stop plates is provided on the connecting assembly plate.
[0007] The configuration is further defined as follows: a coil spring assembly is provided on the upper clamping frame, and a connecting accessory is provided between one end of the coil spring assembly and the blasting assembly.
[0008] The upper and lower clamping frames are further configured such that the upper clamping frame and the lower clamping frame are arranged in a downward direction, the upper stop plate is fixedly installed on the upper side of the upper clamping frame, and the lower stop plate is located on the lower side of the lower clamping frame.
[0009] The upper stop plate is further configured such that the end of the upper stop plate near the upper clamping frame and the end of the lower stop plate away from the lower clamping frame are inclined, while the other ends of the upper and lower stop plates are horizontal.
[0010] The transmission rod is further configured such that a middle stop and a lower roller are respectively provided along the direction from top to bottom, and the upper end of the transmission rod is rotatably mounted on the connecting assembly plate. An execution rod is provided at the output end of the electric actuator, and the lower end of the execution rod is rotatably connected to the lower roller.
[0011] The configuration is further defined as follows: the middle stop bar and the lower roller are respectively positioned on the upper surface of the upper and lower stop plates.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. Primarily designed for blasting operations during overhead cable de-icing, the overall structure utilizes the elasticity of an upper and lower clamping frame combined with a coil spring assembly for mounting. Specifically, the upper and lower baffles, along with the middle stop and lower roller in the transmission rod, achieve a "fixed" connection between the local structure and the UAV hoisting structure, facilitating the hoisting and mounting process. In the subsequent blasting action, the transmission rod and the execution rod further drive the separation process between the middle stop and the upper baffle, and between the lower roller and the lower baffle.
[0014] 2. Based on the above, the entire process only includes two actions: hoisting and loading, and separation. These two actions are specifically linked by the middle stop and the lower roller. The key purpose of setting the middle stop and the lower roller is to: ensure the stability of the blasting device during hoisting, allow the drone to quickly leave after the blasting device is clamped onto the cable, and ensure that the gas nozzle of the blasting device is vertically downward, so as to meet the operation requirements in the simplest and most effective way.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] Example 1: Regarding the connection process between the blasting device and the drone in drone-based de-icing, it is necessary to satisfy both the mounting and fixing process between the blasting device and the overhead cable, and the separation process between the blasting device and the drone during blasting. The following technical solution is proposed:
[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 The detachable assembly for de-icing operations using drones in this embodiment includes an upper clamping frame 1, a lower clamping frame 2, a blasting assembly 3, and an electric actuator 5. The upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 are rotatably connected at one end, and the blasting assembly 3 is installed at the other end of the lower clamping frame 2.
[0024] The electric actuator 5 has a connecting assembly plate 6 installed at one end of the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2. A lower stop plate 11 is rotatably installed on the lower side of the connecting assembly plate 6. An upper stop plate 12 is provided on the upper clamping frame 1. A transmission rod 10 corresponding to the upper stop plate 12 and the lower stop plate 11 is provided on the connecting assembly plate 6. A coil spring assembly 4 is provided on the upper clamping frame 1. A connecting accessory is provided between one end of the coil spring assembly 4 and the blasting assembly 3. The upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 are arranged in a top-to-bottom direction. The upper stop plate 12 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the upper clamping frame 1, and the lower stop plate 11 is located on the lower side of the lower clamping frame 2.
[0025] Solution Description: Based on Figure 1The blasting component 3, as a key structure in the blasting de-icing process, is essentially a guide tube for filling deflagration filler, but it will not be described in this embodiment. It should be noted that the blasting component 3 is mounted via the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2. Figure 1 In the overall structure, the electric actuator 5 serves as the connection point for the drone equipment, and as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 4 To explain, in the initial state, the electric actuator 5 drives the actuator rod 7 to move in a directional position and flip the upper clamping frame 1 upward. The lower roller 9 is supported on the right-inclined end of the lower stop plate 11, while the middle stop bar 8 is simultaneously located on the upper side of the upper stop plate 12. During this process, the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 are "fixed" in position by the upper stop plate 12 and the lower stop plate 11, respectively. The purpose of this is to facilitate the later hoisting process of the UAV equipment and ensure that the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 always remain open.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 2, the overall separation process is further explained:
[0027] The upper baffle 12 is inclined at one end near the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower baffle 11 is inclined at one end away from the lower clamping frame 2. The other ends of the upper baffle 12 and the lower baffle 11 are horizontal. The transmission rod 10 is provided with a middle stop 8 and a lower roller 9 in the direction from top to bottom. The upper end of the transmission rod 10 is rotatably mounted on the connecting assembly plate 6. The output end of the electric actuator 5 is provided with an actuator rod 7. The lower end of the actuator rod 7 is rotatably connected to the lower roller 9. The middle stop 8 and the lower roller 9 are respectively provided on the upper surface of the upper baffle 12 and the lower baffle 11.
[0028] Solution Description: As shown in Embodiment 1, when the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 are always kept in an open state, the coil spring assembly 4 is mainly in a "compressed" state. Therefore, the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 have a "reset stress" due to the elastic action of the coil spring assembly 4. However, as... Figure 4 As shown, the upper baffle 12 and lower baffle 11 on the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 are respectively restricted and supported by the middle baffle 8 and the lower roller 9, so the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 remain open. To this end, it is necessary to further restrict the tilt angle of the right side of the lower baffle 11. The purpose of this is to prevent the overall structure from falling off unexpectedly during the drone hoisting process.
[0029] When a demolition operation is required, to prevent the explosive impact from affecting the drone equipment, the electric actuator 5 must again move the actuator rod 7. Figure 4For example, the transmission rod 10 is driven to rotate counterclockwise around its upper rotation point. During this process, the upper baffle 12 and the lower baffle 11 lose the limiting support from the middle baffle 8 and the lower roller 9, respectively. Thus, under the action of "reset stress", the upper clamping frame 1 and the lower clamping frame 2 approach each other to complete the hanging and fixing process of the overhead cable. The overall structure has no direct connection with the UAV equipment.
[0030] The key point is: when the middle stop lever 8 leaves the surface of the upper stop plate 12, the lower roller 9 is still on the surface of the lower stop plate 11. At this time, the explosive assembly 3 is clamped by the tension of the coil spring assembly 4, and its bottom is still supported by the lower stop plate 11, so the explosive assembly 3 is clamped on the cable with the muzzle facing downward.
[0031] As the actuator 7 continues to retract, the lower roller 9 also leaves the surface of the lower baffle 12. At this time, the lower baffle 11 rotates due to gravity, and the originally horizontal upper surface becomes almost vertical. At this time, the drone's ascent is unimpeded, ensuring that the drone can detach smoothly.
[0032] In summary: For the two actions of hoisting and loading between the drone and the explosive components and overhead cables, the transmission rod and the actuator rod simultaneously satisfy the movement positions of the upper and lower clamping frames during the hoisting action, while the loading action is based on the elasticity of the coil spring to separate the load. This avoids the explosive impact force generated during the explosive action from affecting the drone equipment, thereby simplifying the operation and improving the de-icing efficiency.
