Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of de-icing auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a delivery device for a line de-icing robot. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional methods for de-icing power transmission lines mainly include manual de-icing, mechanical de-icing, and thermal melting. These methods suffer from low efficiency, high cost, and poor safety, especially in severe weather conditions where manual de-icing carries extremely high risks. Furthermore, thermal melting requires power outages, affecting power supply stability. Robotic de-icing technology, as an emerging solution, offers significant advantages. Robots can perform de-icing operations without power outages, avoiding economic losses caused by power cuts. In addition, robotic de-icing is highly efficient, safe, and adaptable to complex environments and severe weather. However, how to quickly, accurately, and safely deploy robots to the target lines remains a pressing issue.

[0003] In existing technologies, there are two main methods for deploying de-icing robots: electromagnet attraction and hook deployment. Electromagnets have limited attraction force due to power and weight limitations, often resulting in the robot falling off during deployment. This not only damages the de-icing robot but also poses a significant safety risk. Hook deployment, on the other hand, requires highly skilled drone operators and often fails to attach properly or securely. This not only makes the robot prone to falling off but can also cause it to crash due to the hook affecting the drone's balance, resulting in significant losses and safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of unstable deployment of de-icing robots and high requirements for deployment technology in the prior art, and to propose a deployment device for de-icing robots on power lines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A delivery device for a de-icing robot for power lines includes a delivery frame with a delivery port for the de-icing robot to enter and exit. A guide plate is rotatably connected to the delivery port. When the de-icing robot enters, the guide plate is lifted and stored in the delivery frame. When the de-icing robot exits, the guide plate falls down to block the delivery port.

[0007] To improve the stability of the de-icing robot, the delivery frame preferably includes: at least two sets of support frames, with a support beam fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and a gripping component provided on the top of the support beam, wherein a guide plate is rotatably connected to one end of the support beam near the delivery port; and a base plate fixedly connected to the free end of the support frame, with the other end of the support beam fixedly connected to the base plate via a fixing plate.

[0008] To further improve the stability of hoisting, the gripping component includes a delivery plate fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and multiple sets of mounting sleeves are evenly distributed on the delivery plate.

[0009] To prevent the wire from getting stuck after the delivery is completed, a rotating seat is provided at one end of the support beam near the delivery port, and the guide plate is rotatably connected to the rotating seat.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide plate is V-shaped, with its extended ends pointing towards the bottom plates on both sides.

[0011] To further stabilize the de-icing robot, a magnetic plate is also included, which is fixedly connected to the base plate and is close to the fixed plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the free end of the support frame is fixedly connected with a support rib, which extends to the bottom of the base plate, and the plane of the support rib is perpendicular to the plane of the base plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a delivery device for a line de-icing robot, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The delivery device for the line de-icing robot is connected to the delivery frame through the mounting sleeve. The mounting sleeves at the four corners of the rectangular delivery plate can ensure the uniformity of force distribution, prevent the delivery frame from tilting, and ensure the safety of hoisting.

[0015] 2. The delivery device for the line de-icing robot has a magnetic plate fixedly connected to the base plate. When the de-icing robot enters the delivery frame, it can be attracted by the magnetic plate. When the delivery frame swings at high altitude, the de-icing robot can stably follow the movement of the delivery frame, preventing it from colliding with the delivery frame and ensuring the stability of the hoisting.

[0016] All parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model's drone lifts the entire delivery frame using a gripper, which can effectively ensure the safety and stability of the lifting. When the drone is lifted to the designated line height, the de-icing robot moves out to perform de-icing operations. During this process, the guide plate, due to its own weight, falls down and blocks the delivery port as the de-icing robot moves out. As a result, when the drone is lifted away later, the delivery frame will not get caught on the line, effectively ensuring the safety and stability of the delivery. Furthermore, it requires less skill from the drone operator and eliminates the risk of drone imbalance. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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 utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4A delivery device for a line de-icing robot includes a delivery frame, comprising: two sets of spaced-apart support frames 1, with a triangular cross-section support beam 6 fixedly connected to the top of each support frame 1 to ensure the load-bearing strength of the support beam 6; a gripping component for drone lifting is provided on the top of the support beam 6; and two base plates 2, respectively fixedly connected to the free ends of the support frames 1, connecting the two support frames 1 together. The other end of the support beam 6 is fixedly connected to the base plate 2 via a fixing plate 7 to ensure the integrity of the entire delivery frame. Support ribs 10 are fixedly connected to the free ends of the support frames 1, extending to the bottom of the base plate 2, with the plane of the support ribs 10 perpendicular to the plane of the base plate 2, thus forming a planar bottom. Plate 2 provides stronger support to ensure that the entire delivery frame does not deform excessively when the de-icing robot enters, thereby further improving the stability of subsequent hoisting. The delivery frame has a delivery port for the de-icing robot to enter and exit. The support beam 6 is fixedly connected to a rotating seat 8 at one end near the delivery port. The guide plate 9 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 8, and the guide plate 9 is V-shaped, with its extended ends pointing to the two bottom plates 2 on both sides. This ensures that the wires will not get stuck in the delivery frame during the hoisting process after the de-icing robot is delivered, thus ensuring the safety of delivery and hoisting. Specifically, when the de-icing robot enters, the guide plate 9 is lifted and stored in the delivery frame. When the de-icing robot exits, the guide plate 9 falls down to block the delivery port.

[0026] In the above structure, the de-icing robot enters the delivery rack and lifts the guide plate 9 when it is on the bottom. Then, the drone lifts the entire delivery rack using the gripper, which can effectively ensure the safety and stability of the hoisting. When it is hoisted to the designated line height, the de-icing robot drives out to perform de-icing operations. During this process, the guide plate 9 falls down to block the delivery port due to its own weight as the de-icing robot drives out. As a result, when the drone is lifted away later, the delivery rack will not get caught on the line, which effectively ensures the safety and stability of the delivery. It also requires less skill from the drone operator and eliminates the risk of drone imbalance.

[0027] Specifically, the gripping component includes a delivery plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. Four sets of mounting sleeves 5 are evenly distributed on the delivery plate 4. The UAV is connected to the delivery frame through the mounting sleeves 5. The mounting sleeves 5 at the four corners of the rectangular delivery plate 4 can ensure the uniformity of force distribution, prevent the delivery frame from tilting, and ensure the safety of hoisting.

[0028] In addition, a magnetic plate 3, i.e. a magnet, is fixedly connected to the base plate 2, and the magnetic plate 3 is close to the fixed plate 7. When the de-icing robot enters the delivery rack, it can be attracted by the magnetic plate 3. When the delivery rack swings at high altitude, the de-icing robot can stably follow the movement of the delivery rack to prevent collision with the delivery rack and ensure the stability of the hoisting.

[0029] In this utility model, the specific usage is as follows:

[0030] First, fix the de-icing robot to the drone using a carbon tube via a delivery frame with mounting sleeve 5. The drone has a guide sleeve of the same size as mounting sleeve 5. The carbon tube is inserted into the guide sleeve and can slide freely up and down.

[0031] 2. Install the de-icing robot into the delivery mechanism, and turn on the electromagnet located at the bottom of the robot using the remote control of the de-icing robot. The electromagnet will then attract the magnetic plate 3.

[0032] 3. Launch the drone to deploy the delivery mechanism and de-icing robot onto the cable to be de-iced and hover the drone.

[0033] 4. Turn off the electromagnet and move the robot out of the delivery mechanism. At the same time, the movable guide plate 9 falls to prevent the delivery mechanism from snagging the cable.

[0034] 5. Raise the drone to lift the delivery mechanism away from the cable;

[0035] 6. Once the de-icing work is completed, allow the drone to hoist the delivery mechanism onto the cable.

[0036] 7. Drive the de-icing robot into the delivery mechanism. When driving in, the de-icing robot will automatically break through the movable guide plate 9 and enter.

[0037] 8. Raise the drone and activate the electromagnet of the de-icing robot to attract the de-icing robot onto the delivery mechanism;

[0038] 9. The hoisting and delivery mechanism and the de-icing robot complete one de-icing work cycle.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
