[0027] 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.
[0028] Example 1: By Figure 1-6 It can be seen that a power distribution line inspection robot track includes a track body 1, a fixing plate 2, a fixing device 3, a connecting plate 4, and a supporting device 5;
[0029] The fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the building; the top of the track body 1 is fixedly connected to the fixing device 3, and the track body 1 is detachably connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 2 through the fixing device 3; the two sides of the track body 1 are inserted with connecting plates 4, which are vertically set and fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 2 at intervals.
[0030] A support device 5 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 4; the support device 5 is located at the lower part of the track body 1, and supports the bottom of the track body 1.
[0031] The guide device 6 is installed on the outer wall of the track body 1; the guide device 6 assists the inspection robot in moving.
[0032] In the specific implementation process, the track body 1 has an "I" shaped cross section. Both sides of the track body 1 are provided with vertical mounting grooves. The cross section of the mounting groove is rectangular and matches the outer dimensions of the connecting plate 4. The mounting groove is used to cooperate with the connecting plate 4. The fixing plate 2 is a rectangular plate with a plug-in seat on the top. The fixing device 3 is detachably connected to the plug-in seat on the fixing plate 2. The plug-in seat has a vertical circular hole that penetrates the fixing plate 2 vertically. The inner wall of the circular hole has a right-angled trapezoidal groove 34. Three plug rods are fixedly connected to the left end of the fixing plate 2. Three slots are provided at the right end of the fixing plate 2. During installation, the plug rod of one fixing plate 2 is inserted into the slot of another fixing plate 2, and multiple fixing plates 2 are connected in sequence.
[0033] The connecting plate 4 is generally rectangular. One side of the connecting plate 4 can be inserted into the mounting groove on the side of the track body 1. The top of the connecting plate 4 is also provided with two threaded holes, which are used to fix it to the fixing plate 2 with bolts.
[0034] The track body 1 and the fixing plate 2 can be installed or disassembled through the fixing device 3. The lower end of the connecting plate 4 is provided with a support device 5. The support device 5 can also support the bottom of the left and right ends of the track body 1. The guide device 6 can assist the inspection robot to move on the track body 1.
[0035] Furthermore, the fixing device 3 includes a pin 31, a fixing block 32, a plug-in seat 33, and a first spring 35;
[0036] The connector 33 is located on the top of the track body 1. The connector 33 is a tubular structure with a boss at the bottom. The connector 33 has a through hole along the axial direction. The upper part of the connector 33 can be inserted into the circular hole on the fixing plate 2. When the connector 33 is fully inserted into the circular hole, the upper surface of the boss fits against the lower surface of the fixing plate 2. At the same time, the pin 31 passes through the top of the track body 1 and is inserted into the through hole of the connector 33, while the connector 33 is inserted into the circular hole of the fixing plate 2. The side wall of the connector 33 has a storage groove 36 for installing the fixing block 32. The fixing block 32 is a locking tongue structure with a limiting step in its circumference. The fixing block 32 is movably inserted into the storage groove 36. The fixing block 32 has a horizontal degree of freedom and can extend into the right-angled trapezoidal groove 34 of the fixing plate 2. The fixing plate 2 has two right-angled trapezoidal grooves 34. The size and position of the right-angled trapezoidal grooves 34 match the fixing block 32.
[0037] The first spring 35 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing block 32, and the first spring 35 abuts against the inner wall of the storage groove 36 and the limiting step of the fixing block 32; there are two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 32 on the plug-in seat 33; the first spring 35 on each fixing block 32 is in a compressed state, so that the two fixing blocks 32 tend to move closer to each other.
[0038] The pin 31 has a cylindrical structure and a conical top, which facilitates insertion from bottom to top between the two fixing blocks 32; the outer wall of the pin 31 is provided with a first locking groove 311 and a second locking groove 312.
[0039] When the first engaging groove 311 of the pin 31 abuts against the fixing block 32, the two fixing blocks 32 are pressed outward by the outer wall of the pin 31, causing the two fixing blocks 32 to be inserted into the two right-angled trapezoidal grooves 34 on the fixing plate 2 respectively; thus, the fixing device 3 is engaged with the fixing plate 2, thereby installing the track body 1 on the fixing plate 2; when disassembly is required, continue to move the pin 31 upward, causing the fixing block 32 to fall into the second engaging groove 312. The depth of the second engaging groove 312 is greater than the depth of the first engaging groove 311. At this time, the two fixing blocks 32 are relatively close, causing the two fixing blocks 32 to disengage from the two right-angled trapezoidal grooves 34; at this time, the engagement between the fixing device 3 and the fixing plate 2 is released, and the track body 1 can be moved downward to pull the fixing device 3 out of the fixing plate 2, thereby completing the disassembly of the track body 1. At this time, continue to move the pin 31 upward to remove the pin 31 from above the fixing device 3;
[0040] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that two sets of fixing devices 3 are installed on one track body 1, and the two sets of fixing devices 3 have the same structure.
[0041] One side of the fixing block 32 is a right trapezoid, which matches the size and shape of the right trapezoidal groove 34; the other side of the fixing block 32 is a rectangle with rounded corners. When the fixing effect is achieved, the pin 31 is inserted into the plug socket 33, and the rectangular side of the fixing block 32 with rounded corners abuts against the first snap-fit groove 311 of the pin 31. The pin 31 is clamped by the two fixing blocks 32.
[0042] Specifically, when installing the power distribution line inspection robot track, first, fix the mounting plate 2 to the roof fixtures. Then, lift the track body 1 so that the two connectors 33 are aligned with the two round holes of the mounting plate 2. Next, the operator moves the track body 1 upwards, inserting the connectors 33 into the two round through holes of the mounting plate 2. Continue moving until the upper surfaces of the protrusions of the two connectors 33 are flush with the bottom of the mounting plate 2. At this point, stop moving and insert the two pins 31 into the through holes of the two connectors 33. The pins 31 push the fixing blocks 32 outwards, causing the two fixing blocks 32 to move relative to each other. The rectangular side of the fixing block 32 with rounded corners abuts against the first locking groove 311 of the pin 31, clamping the pin 31 between the two fixing blocks 32, thus achieving a locking and fixing connection.
[0043] Example 2: From Figure 1-6 It is known that the loading groove 51 is opened at the bottom of the connecting plate 4, and the sides and bottom penetrate the outer wall of the connecting plate 4. The middle of the loading groove 51 is a circular groove structure, and the two sides are square groove structures. The rotating wheel 52 is located in the circular groove structure of the loading groove 51. The middle part of the double-headed screw 53 is connected to the inner wall of the rotating wheel 52. There are two telescopic support plates 54, and the inside of the telescopic support plates 54 is provided with internal threads. The two telescopic support plates 54 are respectively threaded to the two ends of the double-headed screw 53. The telescopic support plates 54 are inserted into the square groove structure of the loading groove 51 and extend or retract with the rotation of the double-headed screw 53. When extended, they can support the bottom of the track body 1. When the support device 5 is needed, the operator rotates the rotating wheel 52 clockwise by hand. The rotating wheel 52 drives the double-headed screw 53 to rotate, and the double-headed screw 53 drives the two telescopic support plates 54 to move to both sides. The telescopic support plates 54 gradually leave the interior of the loading groove 51. At this time, the telescopic support plates 54 move to the bottom of the track body 1 and support the track body 1. When the support device 5 is not needed, rotating the rotating wheel 52 counterclockwise will return the telescopic support plates 54 to their original position.
[0044] It is worth noting that the middle part of the loading trough 51, when viewed from the side, has a circular cross-section and is equipped with a rotating wheel 52 inside. The rotating wheel 52 can rotate inside it, and the outer wall of the rotating wheel 52 is provided with anti-slip texture, which plays an anti-slip role when the operator rotates the rotating wheel 52. The two sides of the loading trough 51, when viewed from the side, have a rectangular cross-section, and the telescopic support plate 54 can move inside it. At the same time, it plays a limiting role for the telescopic support plate 54, preventing the two telescopic support plates 54 from rotating with the double-headed screw 53. Through the cooperation of the loading trough 51, the rotating wheel 52, the double-headed screw 53 and the telescopic support plate 54, when the fixing device 3 has a problem, the telescopic support plate 54 plays a supporting role for the track body 1, ensuring that the inspection robot on the track body 1 can move normally.
[0045] Furthermore, the guiding device 6 includes a guide plate 61, a guide seat 62, and a fixing screw 63. The guide plate 61 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the track body 1; the guide seat 62 is located below the guide plate 61 and fits against the outer wall of the track body 1; the fixing screw 63 passes through the bottom of the guide seat 62 and is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the track body 1. The guide plate 61, guide seat 62, and fixing screw 63 work together to assist the inspection robot in moving on the track body 1. The guide seat 62 has a U-shaped cross-section. When the power distribution line inspection robot runs on the guide seat 62, its walking mechanism moves along the guide channel formed by the guide seat 62. The shape of the guide seat 62 can be changed according to actual needs. The ultimate goal is to prevent the robot's walking mechanism from shifting laterally and to enable the robot to move stably within a certain range.
