Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of live-line testing robot technology, specifically a live-line testing robot that can walk along cables. Background Technology
[0002] A live-line inspection robot is a robot specifically designed to detect voltage, current, or electric field in electrical equipment or locations. These robots are typically equipped with various sensors and instruments to identify and measure electrical signals to assess potential hazards or anomalies. Live-line inspection robots are widely used in the industrial field, especially in the maintenance and repair of high-voltage power equipment, helping people to perform electrical work safely.
[0003] In response, Chinese patent application number CN222003468U discloses a live-line inspection robot capable of moving along cables. The technical problem is that when using a live-line inspection robot, the robot body typically inspects and repairs high-voltage power cables. During cable inspection, cable vibration can easily cause the robot to deviate and fall, posing a safety hazard. The technical solution is a live-line inspection robot capable of moving along cables, comprising a live-line inspection robot body, a support component, a clamping component, a limiting component, a storage component, a cleaning component, and a signal receiving component. Compared to traditional live-line inspection robots, which are prone to deviating and falling due to cable vibration, this new robot can securely clamp the cable, allowing it to move stably along the cable, and can also conveniently remove dust from the cable surface.
[0004] However, existing live-line inspection robots that can walk along cables only limit the robot's movement on the cable. In reality, there may be plastic or other substances on the cable that could affect the robot's normal movement, causing the pulleys to derail and thus affecting the inspection work.
[0005] Therefore, to solve the above problems, a live-line inspection robot capable of walking along cables is proposed. Utility Model Content

However, in real life, there may be some plastic sheaths or other substances on the cable that may affect the normal movement of the inspection robot, causing the pulleys to derail and thus affecting the inspection work.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

The main pulley and auxiliary pulley in the mechanism clamp the cable assembly, and the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate limit the position of the limiting frame and the cable assembly. The first limiting rod and the second limiting rod limit the operation of the limiting frame, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0016] 2. The cleaning mechanism can clean the plastic coating on the cable assembly. The connecting rod inside the mechanism supports the limiting sleeve.
