Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of live-line coated insulation equipment, specifically a live-line coated insulation equipment for bare wire drones. Background Technology
[0002] The live-line insulation coating equipment for overhead power lines using drones is an innovative tool that integrates drone technology with automated coating technology. It can efficiently and safely coat bare overhead power lines with insulating materials without power interruption, significantly improving the safety and stability of power lines.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent (Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220361394U) that discloses a drone-mounted insulator surround spraying device. This device includes a top block; the insulator pushes the top block, causing it to move and, via a first pull rope, rotate a support rod. This, in turn, allows the support rod to drive a spray nozzle to surround and coat the insulator, resulting in uniform spray coverage and improved coating effectiveness. A locking block is also included; pulling a second pull rope moves the locking block via a pulley, disengaging it from a locking slot and enabling rapid disassembly and installation of the support frame.
[0004] However, the insulator surround spraying equipment based on drones has a relatively simple spraying structure. If strong winds occur during the spraying process, the spraying effect can easily be affected. Therefore, a bare conductor drone-mounted live-line coating insulation equipment is proposed.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-6A bare wire drone live-line coating insulation equipment includes a drone body 1, a mounting rod 2 movably connected to the bottom of the drone body 1, an equipment block 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting rod 2, a coating structure 4 inside the equipment block 3, and a switch structure 5 inside the equipment block 3.
[0026] The coating structure 4 includes a submersible pump 401. The submersible pump 401 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the equipment block 3. An extension sleeve 402 is fixedly installed inside the equipment block 3. A spring body 403 is fixedly installed inside the extension sleeve 402. An extension rod 404 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the spring body 403. A U-shaped block 405 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the extension rod 404. A pipe rotary joint 406 is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped block 405. A coating roller 407 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pipe rotary joint 406. A fan 408 is fixedly installed inside the equipment block 3. An electric heating rod 409 is fixedly installed inside the equipment block 3.
[0027] Furthermore, the switch structure 5 includes a drive motor 501, the drive motor 501 is fixedly installed inside the device block 3, a threaded rod 502 is rotatably connected inside the device block 3, a lifting rod 503 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 502, and a limit rod 504 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the device block 3.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the device block 3 is connected to the drone body 1 by bolts and mounting rod 2, and vice versa. Then, the drive motor 501 is turned on to drive the threaded rod 502 to rotate. Then, the rotation of the threaded rod 502 controls the lifting rod 503 to drive the lower device block 3 to move downward. The setting of the limit rod 504 ensures that the device block 3 moves horizontally during the movement and moves within the range of the limit groove.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, after the two equipment blocks 3 are separated, the two equipment blocks 3 cover the cable to be coated. Then, the extension rod 404, in conjunction with the spring body 403 inside the extension sleeve 402, ensures that the two coating rollers 407 are completely attached to the outer surface of the cable from the top and bottom. Then, the submersible pump 401 is turned on to extract the coating material and send it into the U-shaped block 405. Then, it enters the two coating rollers 407 through the two pipe rotary joints 406 respectively. Then, the coating material is used to wet the coating sponge. When the equipment blocks 3 are moved, the coating rollers 407 rotate to drive the coating sponge to coat the cable. Then, the electric heating rod 409 is turned on to generate hot air inside the equipment block 3. The hot air generated is blown onto the coated cable by the fan 408, thereby quickly drying it.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, drive motor 501 is a forward and reverse motor. A forward and reverse motor is a motor that can achieve forward and reverse rotation. The working principle of a forward and reverse motor is based on changing the phase sequence of the motor power supply to change the direction of rotation. In a three-phase asynchronous motor, the direction of rotation of the motor can be changed by swapping any two phases. This operation is called commutation, which allows the motor to run in different directions as needed.
[0031] When implementing this procedure, please follow these steps:
[0032] 1) First, turn on the drive motor 501 to drive the threaded rod 502 to rotate forward, thereby causing the two device blocks 3 to separate from each other;
[0033] 2) Then move the device block 3 to the cable position, and flip the control threaded rod 502 to bring the device blocks 3 closer together;
[0034] 3) The coating roller 407 is then brought into contact with the cable by the extension sleeve 402, spring body 403 and extension rod 404.
[0035] 4) Finally, the coating material is extracted by the submersible pump 401 and sent into the U-shaped block 405. It then enters the coating roller 407 through the pipe rotary joint 406 to coat the cable. The coated area is then quickly dried by the electric heating rod 409 and the fan 408.
[0036] In summary, this bare wire drone-mounted live-line coating insulation equipment, through the setting of the switch structure 5, enables the two equipment blocks 3 to separate from each other. Then, the drone body 1 controls the equipment blocks 3 to move to the upper and lower sides of the cable, and then drives the two equipment blocks 3 to close. Then, through the setting of the coating structure 4, the coating material can be sent into the interior of the coating roller 407 by the submersible pump 401. Then, the coating roller 407 wets the coating sponge and coats the cable. The coated material is then quickly dried by the fan 408 and the electric heating rod 409.
