Specifically, the two wheels are rotatably connected to the main body through the first connector, and the motor is connected to the main body through the second connector. Both wheels are connected to the motor.

The second connecting component is connected to the connecting portion and is used to connect to the target component. At least one of the two walking components is configured to rotate relative to the corresponding cover portion to drive the target component to move.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the driving structure provided in this application has an arc segment projected toward the center of the arc, covering the walking component.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the driving structure provided in this application has an arc-shaped edge and a connecting edge arranged sequentially on the blocking segment.

One end of the third connector is plugged into one of the two plug-in portions, and the other end is plugged into the other of the two plug-in portions. The third connector and the second connector are located on opposite sides of the connecting portion.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the drive structure provided in this application includes a connecting portion comprising a first reinforcing section, a transition section, and a second reinforcing section arranged sequentially; one of the two cover portions is connected to the first reinforcing section, and the other is connected to the second reinforcing section; the two opposite ends of the extension direction of the second connector are respectively connected to the first reinforcing section and the second reinforcing section.

The second parking component is connected to the traveling component corresponding to at least one of the two housing portions. The second parking component has a plurality of parking portions spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The traveling component is used to drive the second parking component to rotate. When the second parking component rotates, the power component is used to drive the first parking component to move toward the second parking component, so that the first parking component abuts against any parking portion to restrict the rotation of the traveling component.

In use, the second connecting member is connected to the connecting portion and is used to connect to a target part, which can be the main body of the inspection equipment. This eliminates the need to connect the motor to the main body and both traveling wheels to the motor. By utilizing the rotation of at least one of the two traveling members relative to the corresponding cover portion to drive the target part, the connection between the various components of the drive structure is simplified, making the overall structure of the drive structure more compact and occupying less space.

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0045] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0047] As stated in the background section, the inspection equipment in the related technology includes a device body and a drive structure. The drive structure includes a motor, a first connector, a second connector, and two wheels. Specifically, the two wheels are rotatably connected to the device body through the first connector, and the motor is connected to the device body through the second connector. Both wheels are connected to the motor. In this way, the motor drives the wheels to roll into contact with the overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires, thereby moving the device body along the extension direction of the overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires for inspection.

[0048] However, the overall structure of the aforementioned drive structure is quite complex, resulting in a large space occupation and inconvenience for maintenance.

[0049] In view of this, the present application provides a drive structure and an inspection device. The drive structure includes a first connecting member, a second connecting member, and two traveling members. The first connecting member includes a connecting portion and two cover portions. By connecting both cover portions to the connecting portion and symmetrically arranging the two cover portions on opposite sides of the extending direction of the connecting portion, the cover portions are correspondingly covered on some of the traveling members, and the cover portions are rotatably connected to the corresponding traveling members. In use, the second connecting member is connected to the connecting portion and is used to connect to a target part, wherein the target part can be the main body of the inspection device. Thus, it is not necessary to connect the motor to the main body and both traveling wheels to the motor. By utilizing at least one of the two traveling members to rotate relative to the corresponding cover portion to drive the target part to move, the connection between the various components of the drive structure is simplified, making the overall structure of the drive structure more compact and occupying less space.

[0050] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] See Figure 1 The driving structure provided in this application embodiment is used to connect with a target component. The driving structure includes a walking component 100 and a connecting component 200. The walking component 100 includes two walking components 110. The connecting component 200 includes a first connecting component 210 and a second connecting component 220. The first connecting component 210 includes a connecting portion 211 and two cover portions 212. Both cover portions 212 are connected to the connecting portion 211, and the two cover portions 212 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the extending direction of the connecting portion 211. The cover portions 212 cover a portion of the walking component 110 one by one, and the cover portions 212 are rotatably connected to the corresponding walking component 110. The second connecting component 220 is connected to the connecting portion 211 and is used to connect with the target component. At least one of the two walking components 110 is configured to rotate relative to the corresponding cover portion 212 to drive the target component to move.

[0052] It should be noted that the specific type of the target component is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, the target component can be the equipment body 400 of the inspection equipment, which is driven by a drive structure to move and can be used to inspect overhead power line conductors or ground wires 600, or to inspect sewage pipes, bridges, etc. The target component can also be a solar panel cleaning robot, which is driven by a drive structure to move along the surface of the photovoltaic panel to remove dust. Of course, the target component can also be cargo, which is driven by a drive structure to move the cargo on a track and is responsible for the transportation and placement of the cargo, which can improve logistics efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0053] Specifically, the first connector 210 serves as the supporting frame of the entire drive structure, providing a more stable foundation. On the one hand, by rotating with the walking component 110, the walking component 110 can rotate correctly and smoothly; on the other hand, by reliably connecting with the second connector 220, the stability of the target component during movement is improved after the second connector 220 is connected to the target component.

[0054] For example, the connecting part 211 and the two cover parts 212 can be integrally formed or fixed together by welding, thereby reducing loosening of the connection and providing a more stable foundation for the drive structure; the second connecting member 220 and the connecting part 211 can be fixed together by welding, thereby ensuring that the two have good connection strength and achieving a more reliable connection.

[0055] The first connector 210 comprises a connecting portion 211 and two cover portions 212. For example, the target component is a device body 400 for inspecting overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 600. The extending direction of the connecting portion 211 is consistent with the length direction of the overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 600. The two cover portions 212 are symmetrically connected to opposite sides of the extending direction of the connecting portion 211. Each cover portion 212 corresponds to a portion of the traveling member 110, and the cover portion 212 corresponds to the corresponding traveling member 110. The 10-rotation connection allows the cover portion 212 to provide rotation space for the walking component 110 and reduces interference from external forces on its rotation, enabling the walking component 110 to rotate more smoothly. By connecting the second connecting component 220 to the connecting portion 211, and after the second connecting component 220 is connected to the equipment body 400, the two walking components 110 can be symmetrically located on both sides of the equipment body 400, thereby enabling the equipment body 400 to move more stably under the drive of the walking components 110.

[0056] It should be noted that, in specific implementation, either the two traveling members 110 can rotate synchronously relative to the corresponding cover portion 212 to jointly drive the target member to move, or one of the two traveling members 110 can rotate relative to the corresponding cover portion 212 to drive the target member to move. That is to say, when the target member begins to move under the drive of one of the two traveling members 110, the other of the two traveling members 110 rotates synchronously. In either case, the movement of the target member can be achieved.

[0057] In summary, the driving structure provided in this application embodiment, by setting a first connecting member 210, a second connecting member 220, and two traveling members 110, wherein the first connecting member 210 includes a connecting portion 211 and two cover portions 212, by connecting both cover portions 212 to the connecting portion 211 and symmetrically arranging the two cover portions 212 on opposite sides of the extending direction of the connecting portion 211, the cover portions 212 are correspondingly covered on parts of the traveling members 110, and the cover portions 212 rotate with the corresponding traveling members 110. In use, the second connecting member 220 is connected to the connecting part 211. The second connecting member 220 is used to connect to the target part, which can be the equipment body 400 of the inspection equipment. Thus, it is not necessary to connect the motor to the equipment body 400 and both walking wheels to the motor. By using at least one of the two walking members 110 to rotate relative to the corresponding cover part 212 to drive the target part to move, the connection between the various components of the drive structure is simplified, making the overall structure of the drive structure more compact and occupying less space.

[0058] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cover portion 212 includes an arc-shaped segment 2121, a fixed segment 2122, and at least one shielding segment 2123; the arc-shaped segment 2121 is connected to the connecting portion 211 through the fixed segment 2122; both the arc-shaped segment 2121 and the fixed segment 2122 are connected to the shielding segment 2123, and the arc-shaped segment 2121, the fixed segment 2122, and the shielding segment 2123 together form a placement groove 215, and a portion of the traveling member 110 is rotatably disposed on the placement groove 215.

[0059] Among them, the curved segment 2121 can match the shape and rotation trajectory of the walking component 110 through its curved surface design, thereby reducing the friction between the walking component 110 and the cover part 212 and ensuring that the walking component 110 can rotate more smoothly.

[0060] The arc-shaped segment 2121 is connected to the connecting part 211 through the fixed segment 2122 to form a stable basic structure. For example, the fixed segment 2122 is designed to match the connecting part 211, so that the two can make sufficient contact and form a reliable connection point.

[0061] The shielding section 2123, the arc-shaped section 2121, and the fixed section 2122 together form the placement groove 215, which can reduce the entry of dust, moisture, and other pollutants into the placement groove 215, protect the walking component 110 from the influence of the external environment, extend its service life, and at the same time reduce the interference of external forces on the rotation of the walking component 110, thereby improving the safety of the drive structure.

[0062] In a specific implementation, the occlusion segment 2123 can be set as follows: Figure 2 The plate-like structure shown is so convenient to manufacture and reduces the processing difficulty. The blocking section 2123 can be set as one, and when part of the walking component 110 is rotatably set on the placement groove 215, the blocking section 2123 is opposite to the circular surface on one side of the walking component 110; the blocking section 2123 can also be set as two, and when part of the walking component 110 is rotatably set on the placement groove 215, the blocking section 2123 is opposite to the circular surfaces on both sides of the walking component 110.

[0063] In some examples, the center of arc of arc segment 2121 is on the same horizontal line as the axis of travel member 110.

[0064] With this configuration, when assembling the walking component 110 and the first connecting component 210, the arc segment 2121 and the walking component 110 can be more precisely aligned. That is, the distance between each point on the arc-shaped circumferential side of the walking component 110 and the arc segment 2121 is equal. This reduces the chance of abnormal contact between the two, lowers the possibility of failure of the walking component 110 during rotation, and helps to improve the overall reliability and durability of the drive structure.

[0065] Furthermore, by setting a clear geometric relationship between the arc center of the arc segment 2121 and the axis of the traveling component 110 on the same horizontal line, the production and assembly process of the traveling component 110 and the first connecting component 210 can be guided, which is conducive to improving production and assembly efficiency.

[0066] In a specific example, the projection of the arc segment 2121 toward the center of the arc covers the walking component 110.

[0067] Thus, when the target component needs to operate in rainy or snowy weather, the arc-shaped section 2121 can effectively protect the walking component 110. That is, after rain or snow falls on the arc-shaped section 2121, it continues to drip from both sides under the guidance of the arc-shaped section 2121 to bypass the walking component 110, thereby reducing the impact of rain or snow on the walking component 110 and affecting its normal rotation. This helps to extend the service life of the walking component 110 and reduce maintenance requirements.

[0068] Furthermore, as a whole, the cover portion 212 can provide a more sufficient support area for the walking component 110, thereby reducing unnecessary positional shifts during the rotation of the walking component 110 and improving the rotational reliability of the rotating component.

[0069] Continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the blocking segment 2123 has an arc-shaped edge 2124 and a connecting edge 2125 arranged sequentially. The arc-shaped edge 2124 matches the arc-shaped segment 2121, and the connecting edge 2125 matches the fixed segment 2122. The arc-shaped segment 2121 abuts against the arc-shaped edge 2124, and the fixed segment 2122 abuts against the connecting edge 2125.

[0070] Thus, the design of the arc-shaped edge 2124 and the connecting edge 2125 makes the structure of the shielding section 2123 match and fit with the arc-shaped section 2121 and the fixed section 2122, thereby reducing unnecessary structures on the shielding section 2123, thereby optimizing the overall structure of the first connector 210, which helps to make the overall drive structure look more compact and neat.

[0071] By setting the arc-shaped segment 2121 to abut against the arc-shaped edge 2124 and the fixed segment 2122 to abut against the connecting edge 2125, a tighter connection can be achieved, which can reduce the gaps or looseness between the components and improve the overall reliability and durability of the cover part 212.

[0072] In a specific example, the arc segment 2121 and the fixed segment 2122 are integrally formed.

[0073] One-piece molding refers to the process of molding an entire component in a single mold. Compared with traditional step-by-step manufacturing processes, one-piece molding simplifies the manufacturing process and offers higher precision, production efficiency, and lower production costs.

[0074] By making the arc-shaped segment 2121 and the fixed segment 2122 integrally molded, the problem of loose connection between the two can be avoided, and the gap between the two can be prevented from affecting the structural strength of the cover part 212.

[0075] Furthermore, using one-piece molding can reduce the connection between the arc segment 2121 and the fixed segment 2122 and the additional processing, which is conducive to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0076] In some examples, both the first connector 210 and the second connector 220 are made of aluminum.

[0077] Understandably, aluminum components can meet the mechanical performance requirements of the actual use of the drive structure. In addition, due to their lower density, aluminum components can reduce the weight of the entire drive structure, achieving a lightweight design that improves the portability and flexibility of the drive structure.

[0078] Furthermore, aluminum parts are easy to process, which can shorten the production cycle and reduce manufacturing costs; at the same time, aluminum parts can achieve more complex geometric shapes and structural designs, thereby meeting the production and manufacturing requirements of the first connector 210, which includes two different structural types: the connector part 211 and the cover part 212.

[0079] For example, the second connector 220 may include two fixing blocks and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is used to connect with the target part. The two ends of the connecting rod in the axial direction are inserted into the fixing blocks one by one. Both fixing blocks are connected to the connecting part 211 so that there is a gap between the connecting rod and the connecting part 211. This layout is reasonable and avoids interference between the connecting rod and the connecting part 211.

[0080] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the connecting component 200 further includes a third connector 230, and each of the two arc segments 2121 has a plug-in portion 213 on the side opposite to the corresponding walking component 110; one end of the third connector 230 is plugged into one of the two plug-in portions 213, and the other end is plugged into the other of the two plug-in portions 213, and the third connector 230 and the second connector 220 are located on opposite sides of the connecting portion 211.

[0081] Thus, the third connector 230 provides additional mechanical support to the drive structure, enhancing its rigidity and improving its ability to resist external impacts.

[0082] By connecting one end of the third connector 230 to one of the two plug-in parts 213 and the other end to the other of the two plug-in parts 213, it is convenient for operators to maintain or disassemble the third connector 230, which helps to improve work efficiency.

[0083] By setting the third connector 230 and the second connector 220 on opposite sides of the connecting part 211, the space on both sides of the connecting part 211 is made reasonable, resulting in a more reasonable and compact overall layout of the drive structure.

[0084] In the specific example, the third connector 230 is a carbon fiber rod.

[0085] Among them, the carbon fiber rod has a low density, which can effectively reduce the weight of the entire drive structure and improve the portability and flexibility of the drive structure; the carbon fiber rod has high specific strength and high specific modulus, which can meet the actual mechanical strength and rigidity requirements while maintaining the lightweight of the drive structure, and reduce the deformation of the third connector 230.

[0086] See Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 6 In a specific example, at least one of the two walking components 110 is a drive wheel 111. The drive wheel 111 includes a hub bracket 1111, a hub motor 1112, and a rubber-coated wheel 1113. The hub motor 1112 is mounted on the hub bracket 1111 and is connected to the cover portion 212. The hub motor 1112 is used to drive the hub bracket of the wheel 111 to rotate relative to the cover portion 212. The rubber-coated wheel 1113 is sleeved on the hub bracket 1111.

[0087] Thus, by mounting the hub motor 1112 on the hub bracket 1111 and using the hub bracket 1111 to support the rubber-coated wheel 1113, the overall structure of the drive wheel 111 can be made more compact, which is beneficial to reduce the volume and space occupied by the drive wheel 111. It can also optimize the connection between the various components of the drive structure and achieve a lightweight design of the drive structure.

[0088] For example, the hub motor 1112 includes a stator and a rotor, the stator driving the rotor to rotate relative to the stator, thereby causing the hub bracket 1111 and the rubber-coated wheel 1113 to rotate relative to the stator and the housing portion 212.

[0089] It is understandable that when the two walking parts 110 rotate synchronously relative to the corresponding cover part 212 to jointly drive the target part to move, both walking parts 110 are drive wheels 111; when one of the two walking parts 110 rotates relative to the corresponding cover part 212 to drive the target part to move, one of the two walking parts 110 can be set as a drive wheel 111 and the other as a rubber-coated wheel 1113.

[0090] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first connector 210 further includes a mounting portion 214; the mounting portion 214 is connected to the cover portion 212, and the hub motor 1112 is connected to the cover portion 212 through the mounting portion 214.

[0091] Specifically, the mounting part 214 is used to provide a stable mounting platform for the hub motor 1112. By providing a fixing point for the hub motor 1112 through the mounting part 214, the vibration generated by the hub motor 1112 during operation can be reduced, and the smoothness of the rotation of the drive wheel 111 can be improved.

[0092] For example, the mounting part 214 can be welded to the cover part 212 to form a more robust structure, thereby reducing loosening. The mounting part 214 has a mounting groove on which the hub motor 1112 is rotatably mounted.

[0093] See Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 6 In some examples, the drive structure also includes at least one parking component 300, which includes a power member 310, a first parking member 320 and a second parking member 330; at least one of the two housing portions 212 is connected to the power member 310; the first parking member 320 is connected to the power member 310.

[0094] At least one of the two cover portions 212 has a second parking member 330 connected to its corresponding traveling member 110. The second parking member 330 has a plurality of parking portions 331 spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The traveling member 110 is used to drive the second parking member 330 to rotate. The power member 310 is used to drive the first parking member 320 to move toward the second parking member 330 when the second parking member 330 rotates, so that the first parking member 320 abuts against any parking portion 331 to restrict the rotation of the traveling member 110.

[0095] Thus, the parking component 300 can achieve relatively precise control of the traveling component 110, meeting the needs of task scenarios that require frequent start-up and stop.

[0096] In the event of an emergency, the power component 310 drives the first parking component 320 to move toward the second parking component 330, causing the first parking component 320 to abut against either parking part 331, thereby restricting the rotation of the traveling component 110 and stopping the target component from moving, reducing potential risks. When the target component stops working, the first parking component 320 abuts against either parking part 331, ensuring that the target component reliably stops and remains stationary, reducing the risk of accidental sliding or movement due to external factors such as wind, and thus improving safety.

[0097] It is understandable that when the target component needs to work, the power component 310 drives the first parking component 320 to move in the opposite direction, that is, to move away from the second parking component 330, so that the first parking component 320 disengages from any parking part 331, and the traveling component 110 can rotate normally.

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, the second parking member 330 is a circular plate-shaped structure that matches the drive wheel 111, and the parking part 331 is a block-shaped structure that protrudes from the second parking member 330. There are four parking parts 331, which are spaced apart on the second parking member 330 along the circumferential direction.

[0099] Furthermore, the power component 310 can be configured as a drive motor, and the first parking part 331 is a parking rod coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. In specific implementation, the power component 310 and the first parking part 331 can be used as an electric push rod as a whole. The drive motor drives the parking rod to move toward the second parking component 330, so that the parking rod is opposite to and abuts against any parking part 331. Since the parking rod is fixed, it can limit the parking part 331 that is in contact with it, thereby restricting the rotation of the second parking part 330 and the traveling component 110.

[0100] See 1. Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some examples, the connecting portion 211 includes a first reinforcing section 2111, a transition section 2112, and a second reinforcing section 2113 arranged sequentially; one of the two cover portions 212 is connected to the first reinforcing section 2111, and the other is connected to the second reinforcing section 2113; the two opposite ends of the extension direction of the second connecting member 220 are respectively connected to the first reinforcing section 2111 and the second reinforcing section 2113.

[0101] The first reinforcing section 2111 and the second reinforcing section 2113 provide a solid connection point for the cover 212 and the second connector 220. The first reinforcing section 2111 and the second reinforcing section 2113 can have high thickness and strength, thereby providing mechanical support for the cover 212 and bearing the load generated by the second connector 220 and the target component.

[0102] By setting a transition section 2112 between the first reinforcing section 2111 and the second reinforcing section 2113, the connection between the various parts is facilitated, making the overall layout of the drive structure more reasonable.

[0103] For example, transition segment 2112 can be configured as follows: Figure 7 The elongated plate-like structure shown can have multiple first connecting holes 2114 on both the first reinforcing section 2111 and the second reinforcing section 2113, such as... Figure 2 As shown, multiple second connecting holes 2126 corresponding to the first connecting holes 2114 can be provided on the fixing sections 2122 of the two cover parts 212. In this way, by passing the bolt through the first connecting hole 2114 and the corresponding second connecting hole 2126 and fitting the nut, one of the two cover parts 212 is bolted to the first reinforcing section 2111 and the other is bolted to the second reinforcing section 2113.

[0104] See Figure 8 and Figure 9 This application provides an inspection device, including a device body 400 and a drive structure as described in any of the above embodiments; the second connector 220 of the drive structure is connected to the device body 400.

[0105] The overall structure and working principle of the driving structure are the same as those in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0106] The inspection device provided in this application embodiment has a driving structure consisting of a first connecting member 210, a second connecting member 220, and two traveling members 110. The first connecting member 210 includes a connecting portion 211 and two cover portions 212. By connecting both cover portions 212 to the connecting portion 211 and symmetrically arranging the two cover portions 212 on opposite sides of the extending direction of the connecting portion 211, the cover portions 212 are correspondingly covered on parts of the traveling members 110, and the cover portions 212 correspond to the corresponding traveling members. The 110 is rotated and connected. In use, the second connecting member 220 is connected to the connecting part 211. The second connecting member 220 is used to connect to the target part, which can be the equipment body 400 of the inspection equipment. Thus, it is not necessary to connect the motor to the equipment body 400 and both walking wheels to the motor. By using at least one of the two walking members 110 to rotate relative to the corresponding cover part 212 to drive the target part to move, the connection between the various components of the drive structure is simplified, making the overall structure of the drive structure more compact and occupying less space.

[0107] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the device body 400 includes two housing parts 410, one of which is hinged to the other via a second connector 220; a drive structure is used to be mounted above the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600, and the traveling member 110 of the drive structure is used to contact the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600; the two housing parts 410 are respectively located on opposite sides of the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600; one of the two housing parts 410 is used to rotate toward or away from the other to jointly engage or disengage the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600.

[0108] In this way, by hinged one of the two housing parts 410 to the other through the second connector 220, when one of the two housing parts 410 is used to rotate toward or away from the other, the drive structure as a whole can remain stationary, reducing unnecessary offset and shaking of the traveling part 110 when it comes into contact with the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600, which helps to improve the stability of the inspection equipment set on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600.

[0109] In this way, by using the two housing parts 410 to hold the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600 together, when the equipment body 400 moves along the extension direction of the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600, i.e. the axial direction, under the drive of the drive structure, unnecessary deviation or detachment of the equipment body 400 can be reduced, ensuring that the drive structure can be stably erected above the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600.

[0110] The overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600 is disengaged by the two housing parts 410, so that the two housing parts 410 form an installation path for the inspection equipment on the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600 or a movement path for it to detach from the overhead transmission line conductor or ground wire 600. Thus, the inspection equipment can be installed or removed with the help of lift provided by drones or the like.

[0111] In a specific example, the inspection equipment also includes at least one cleaning component 500, which is provided on at least one of the housing part 410 and the cover part 212 of the drive structure; the cleaning component 500 is used to remove foreign objects from the overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 600.

[0112] This reduces the impact of foreign objects on the performance of overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 600, and helps to improve the service life of overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 600.

[0113] The foreign objects on the overhead transmission line conductors or ground wires 600 can be snow, fallen leaves, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0114] For example, depending on the actual usage requirements, such as Figure 10 As shown, a cleaning member 500 can be provided on the cover portion 212 of the drive structure. Alternatively, the cleaning member 500 can be provided on the housing portion 410, or both the housing portion 410 and the cover portion 212 can be provided with a cleaning member 500.

[0115] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
