Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to power equipment, and in particular to an electric flying car that travels on power transmission lines. Background Technology
[0002] Transmission lines require regular inspection and maintenance during operation, such as installing and replacing spacers, equipotential rings, and other accessories on the split conductors. During construction, workers must climb and walk on the conductors, which is not only inefficient but also difficult, labor-intensive, and carries significant safety risks. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electric flying car that can travel on a power line and carry people, so as to reduce construction difficulty and improve construction efficiency and safety.
[0004] The electric flying car for power transmission lines described in this utility model includes a manned flying car platform, with brackets installed at both ends of the flying car platform, and wheels that can move along the conductor installed on the top of the brackets; the flying car platform is equipped with a motor, a battery electrically connected to the motor and providing power, and a driver that controls the operation of the motor; the motor is connected to all or part of the wheels through a transmission component and drives the wheels to move along the conductor; the flying car platform is also equipped with a brake to stop its movement.
[0005] The electric flying trolley for power transmission lines described in this utility model is a manned flying platform suspended from the conductor of a power transmission line via wheels on a support frame. Workers control the motor via a driver, which in turn drives the connected wheels through a transmission assembly. The friction between the wheels and the conductor propels the flying platform along the conductor. Workers control the direction of movement according to the work location. When the platform reaches the desired location, the brakes are used to decelerate and fix it in place. Workers can then easily perform inspections and maintenance until the work at that location is completed, at which point the platform can be moved to another location. This electric flying trolley eliminates the need for workers to climb the conductor, significantly improving construction safety and reducing the difficulty and intensity of the work. Furthermore, the flying platform provides a stable foothold for workers and can be electrically controlled for movement, effectively improving construction efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes two rotating shafts that connect two drive wheels and a bracket respectively, a transmission shaft rotatably mounted in the middle of the bracket, a primary sprocket mounted on the middle of the transmission shaft opposite to the motor shaft of the motor, and the primary sprockets on the transmission shaft and the motor are connected by a primary chain, and secondary sprockets are arranged opposite to the two rotating shafts at both ends of the transmission shaft, and the oppositely arranged secondary sprockets are connected by secondary chains.
[0011] Preferably, the brake includes a stationary brake pad fixedly disposed on one side of the conductor, a movable brake pad movably mounted on the other side of the conductor, and a brake controller mounted on the flycar platform. The brake controller is connected to the movable brake pad through a brake line and drives the movable brake pad to press against the conductor.
[0012] Preferably, the stationary brake pad and the moving brake pad are mounted on the bracket adjacent to the driven wheel.
[0013] Preferably, the brake controller is a foot-operated control pedal.
[0014] By installing electric flyovers on the aforementioned power transmission lines, the stability and safety of the electric flyovers can be effectively improved, thus better protecting construction workers. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. 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.
[0018] It should be noted that if any directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, inside, outside, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, counterclockwise, clockwise, circumferential, radial, axial, etc.) is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0019] If the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," such descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0020] This utility model proposes an electric flying car for power transmission lines.
[0021] The electric flying car for power transmission lines in this embodiment includes a flying car platform 1 that can carry people, brackets 2 installed at both ends of the flying car platform, and wheels 3 that can move along the conductor installed on the top of the brackets; a motor 4, a battery 5 electrically connected to the motor and providing power, and a driver 6 that controls the operation of the motor are installed on the flying car platform; the motor is connected to all or part of the wheels through a transmission component 7 and drives the wheels to move along the conductor; a brake 8 is also installed on the flying car platform to stop its movement.
[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, two conductors on the power transmission line are set in parallel for 10 phases. A manned gantry platform is suspended from the conductors by wheels on a support frame. Workers control the motor through a driver, which in turn drives the wheels connected to it through a transmission assembly. The friction between the wheels and the conductors propels the gantry platform along the conductors. The motor is a bidirectional motor that can rotate in both directions. Workers control the direction of movement of the gantry platform according to the construction location. When it reaches the required construction location, the brakes are used to decelerate and stop the gantry platform, fixing it in place. At this point, workers can easily complete inspection and maintenance work until the construction at that location is completed, at which point the gantry platform can be restarted and moved to another location.
[0023] The aforementioned electric trolley for power transmission lines has a seat 11 mounted on the trolley platform 1 for workers to sit on. This seat allows for more accurate, stable, and safer control of the trolley's movement. Supports 2 are installed on both sides of the trolley platform 1, and guard beams 21 connect the supports on the same side of the trolley platform. These guard beams span the upper sides of the trolley platform, improving its structural strength and serving as railings and handrails to better ensure worker safety.
[0024] The aforementioned electric trolley for power transmission lines includes driving wheels 31 connected to a motor 4 via a transmission assembly 7 and driven wheels 32 that move with the trolley platform 1. The power output from the motor drives the driving wheels to rotate, which in turn drives the trolley platform to move along the conductor, and the trolley platform then drives the driven wheels to move. The transmission assembly 7 includes two rotating shafts 71 connecting the two driving wheels 31 and the support 2 respectively. A transmission shaft 72 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the support 2. The middle of the transmission shaft is opposite to the motor shaft of the motor 4 and has a primary sprocket mounted on it. The transmission shaft and the primary sprocket on the motor are connected by a primary chain 73. Secondary sprockets are opposite to the two rotating shafts at both ends of the transmission shaft and are connected by secondary chains 74. During operation, the motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate via the primary chain, and the two ends of the rotating shaft then drive the two rotating shafts and their driving wheels to rotate via the secondary chains, thereby realizing the movement of the electric trolley. This type of transmission assembly has the advantages of strong power and high operational stability, which can effectively ensure the movement of the electric trolley and the safety of the personnel.
[0025] The electric flycar for the power transmission line described above can have its brake 8 mounted on the drive wheel, achieving braking by braking the drive wheel; or it can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the brake 8 is installed on the bracket 2 adjacent to the driven wheel 32. It includes a stationary brake pad 81 fixedly mounted on one side of the conductor, a movable brake pad 82 movably mounted on the other side of the conductor, and a brake controller 83 mounted on the flycar platform 1. The brake controller connects to the movable brake pad via a brake cable 84 and drives the movable brake pad to press against the conductor. Braking is achieved by clamping the conductor from both sides using the stationary and movable brake pads. This is faster and more accurate than braking the drive wheel, reducing the electric flycar's slippage and further improving safety. The brake controller 83 and the driver 6 can be either a manual control lever or a foot pedal. The latter frees up the workers' hands, allowing them to hold onto the guardrail or perform other operations, further reducing safety risks.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
