Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power inspection technology, and in particular to an inspection mechanism for a power inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Power system inspection refers to the regular, planned, and organized inspection, monitoring, evaluation, and maintenance of power systems and equipment (including power plants, substations, transmission lines, and distribution equipment). Its aim is to identify potential problems or faults in equipment, ensuring the normal operation of power equipment and the safety of power supply. Its core objective is to promptly identify and eliminate potential hazards by real-time monitoring of equipment operating status and parameters (such as insulation, current load, and grounding conditions), preventing accidents and thus ensuring the stable operation of the power system, improving power supply reliability, extending equipment lifespan, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN219337713U) discloses an indoor power inspection robot, which describes: "It includes a robot body, with multiple telescopic rods fixedly connected to the upper surface of the robot body. An inspector is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rods. An installation groove is provided inside the robot body. A protective shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the robot body and communicates with the installation groove. A motor is fixedly connected inside the protective shell, with one end of the motor output shaft passing through the robot body and the other end passing through the inspector and movably connected to the inspector. This utility model not only ensures the balance of the inspection robot and prevents it from tipping over, thus improving the robot's usability, but also provides light for the robot, making inspections clearer and further improving its usability. It also prevents the motor from malfunctioning due to overheating, improving the motor's heat dissipation."

[0004] In summary, the device also has the following technical problems: The device inspects power equipment by placing the camera structure on the upper part of the wheel drive structure. However, obstacles often appear during ground inspections, and there are significant height differences in some locations, which affects the passage of the inspection equipment. At the same time, due to the different installation heights of the power equipment, some higher power equipment cannot be accurately inspected. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an inspection mechanism for power inspection robots to provide a new technical solution to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above patent.

[0019] As described in the background art, the above-mentioned device achieves the inspection of power equipment by setting the camera structure on the upper end of the wheel drive structure. However, obstacles often appear during ground inspection, and there are large height differences in some places, which affects the passage of the inspection equipment. At the same time, due to the different installation heights of power equipment, some higher power equipment cannot be accurately inspected.

[0020] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides an inspection mechanism for a power inspection robot.

[0021] For details, please refer to Figures 1-3 The inspection mechanism for the power inspection robot specifically includes a ceiling rail 1, a track travel mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the ceiling rail 1, and a visual inspection structure 3 for monitoring power equipment is provided at the bottom of the track travel mechanism 2. The track travel mechanism 2 includes a body positioning frame 4 covering the surface of the overhead track 1, and heat dissipation windows 5 are provided on both sides of the body positioning frame 4.

[0022] The power inspection robot inspection mechanism provided by this utility model, by setting up a track travel mechanism 2 and cooperating with a visual inspection structure 3, the entire device is suspended on the surface of the overhead track 1 in a suspended state, which can effectively avoid the obstruction of ground obstacles and improve the convenience of inspection. At the same time, a second reduction motor 20 is set in the middle to cooperate with the winch 18 to release or retract the cable 19, so as to realize the adjustment of the height of the camera 24, thereby increasing the detection range and the detection of details of power facilities, and thus improving the overall inspection efficiency and accuracy of the device.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 An inspection mechanism for a power inspection robot includes a ceiling track 1, a track travel mechanism 2 is provided on the surface of the ceiling track 1, and a visual inspection structure 3 for monitoring power equipment is provided at the bottom end of the track travel mechanism 2. The track travel mechanism 2 includes a body positioning frame 4 covering the surface of the overhead track 1, and heat dissipation windows 5 are provided on both sides of the body positioning frame 4.

[0025] Specifically, a first reduction motor 6 is symmetrically fixed inside the positioning frame 4. The transmission ends of the first reduction motor 6 that are close to each other are rotatably connected to a drive shaft 7. The end of the drive shaft 7 away from the first reduction motor 6 is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 8. The drive wheel 8 is located in the middle of the ceiling track 1.

[0026] Specifically, guide frames 9 are provided on both sides of the body positioning frame 4. A light rod 10 is fixedly connected inside the guide frame 9. A driven shaft 12 is slidably connected to the surface of the light rod 10. A spring 11 is sleeved on the surface of the light rod 10. An auxiliary wheel 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the driven shaft 12. The auxiliary wheel 13 is in close contact with the bottom surface of the ceiling track 1.

[0027] With the above structural design, when the device is in use, the first reduction motor 6 is turned on and drives the drive wheel 8 to rotate through the drive shaft 7. While the drive wheel 8 is rotating, it can drive the entire device to move on the surface of the ceiling rail 1. The auxiliary wheel 13 at the bottom of the drive wheel 8 is pushed by the spring 11 to the driven shaft 12 to be in close contact with the bottom surface of the ceiling rail 1. This ensures that the drive wheel 8 is always in close contact with the surface of the ceiling rail 1 and ensures the stability of the device during operation. With the camera 24 at the bottom of the device, the power equipment can be inspected in real time.

[0028] Example 2: The inspection mechanism for the power inspection robot provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figures 2-5As shown, a bottom mounting frame 14 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the machine body positioning frame 4, a positioning frame 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the machine body positioning frame 4, a rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the middle of the positioning frame 16, a second reduction motor 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the positioning frame 16, the transmission end of the second reduction motor 20 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 17, and a winch 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 17.

[0029] Specifically, a lifting and positioning frame 15 is provided at the bottom of the bottom mounting frame 14, and a cable 19 is provided inside the rotating shaft 17. The end of the cable 19 away from the winch 18 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lifting and positioning frame 15.

[0030] Specifically, a third reduction motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the lifting positioning frame 15. The transmission end of the third reduction motor 21 extends to the bottom surface of the lifting positioning frame 15. A positioning shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the third reduction motor 21. A fourth reduction motor 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the positioning shaft 22. Cameras 24 are fixedly connected to the transmission ends on both sides of the fourth reduction motor 23.

[0031] With the above structural design, if an anomaly is encountered at a lower position during the inspection process, the drive wheel 8 will move the device to a position closer to the anomaly point, and the second reduction motor 20 will be activated. The second reduction motor 20 will drive the winch 18 to rotate through the rotating shaft 17. As the winch 18 rotates, the cable 19 will be released. As the cable 19 is released, the lifting positioning frame 15 will disengage from the bottom mounting frame 14 and descend until the camera 24 is parallel to the anomaly point. Then, the camera 24 can be used to detect whether there is an anomaly in the power equipment. If the observation angle is not good, the third reduction motor 21 can be activated to drive the positioning shaft 22 to rotate and adjust the horizontal angle of the camera 24. At the same time, the fourth reduction motor 23 can be used to drive the camera 24 to rotate and adjust the vertical observation point. In this way, comprehensive and accurate monitoring of the power equipment can be achieved.
