Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable de-icing technology, specifically to a cable de-icing robot. Background Technology

[0002] In power transmission systems, cable icing is a common safety hazard in winter. Excessive ice buildup can lead to overloaded cables, causing wire breaks, tower collapses, and other accidents, severely impacting power supply stability. Currently, cable de-icing mainly relies on manual operation or traditional mechanical devices, which have many limitations: First, manual de-icing requires workers to climb towers or use aerial work platforms, operating in high-voltage, high-altitude environments, facing extremely high safety risks such as electric shock and falls. It is also labor-intensive, inefficient, and difficult to handle large-scale icing disasters. Second, traditional mechanical de-icing equipment has a simple structure, often using a single ice-breaking method, resulting in incomplete de-icing and potential cable damage. Its walking mechanism lacks stability, making it prone to slipping or tipping on icy cable surfaces, and it cannot adapt to cable paths in complex terrain. Furthermore, most de-icing operations require power outages, leading to widespread blackouts and causing serious losses to production and daily life. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cable de-icing robot, which effectively solves the problems of high safety risk, low efficiency and power supply impact of traditional cable de-icing methods through a stable walking mechanism and multiple de-icing structures.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a cable de-icing robot, including a frame, a walking assembly, and a de-icing assembly; the walking assembly includes a plurality of walking wheel sets arranged along the frame at intervals, and a clamping wheel set arranged in correspondence with each of the walking wheel sets, the clamping wheel set being able to rotate to the underside or outside of the walking wheel set; the frame is provided with a motor module for driving the walking wheel set and the de-icing pendulum, the motor module being signal-connected to a control module and a power supply module; the de-icing assembly includes a de-icing blade and a de-icing pendulum located at the front end of the frame, the de-icing pendulum being able to swing on the radial surface of the cable.

[0005] In this technical solution, the de-icing robot is suspended on the icy cable during use, and the pressure wheel set rotates to make the walking wheel set and the pressure wheel set fit against the cable. This not only prevents the frame from tipping over but also ensures the stability of the frame as it moves along the cable. During the robot's movement, the de-icing blade uses the kinetic energy of the frame to collide with the ice on the cable, while the de-icing pendulum swings to break the ice. When used in conjunction with remote control equipment, the de-icing robot in this solution can replace manual work in high-altitude and high-voltage environments, avoiding the risks of electric shock and falls from manual climbing and live operation, fundamentally solving the safety hazards of traditional manual de-icing. The robot can also operate without interrupting power supply, reducing production and livelihood losses caused by power outages.

[0006] Preferably, the output end of the motor module driving the de-icing pendulum is provided with a swing wheel, a swing rod is hinged to the outer periphery of the swing wheel, and the other end of the swing rod is hinged to the end of the de-icing pendulum.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the frame is provided with a travel channel for installing the travel assembly, the travel channel runs through the front and rear ends of the frame, and the de-icing blade is located at the front end of the frame and arranged around the travel channel.

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the walking channel is provided with a mounting groove, and a rotating frame is hinged in the mounting groove. The end of the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the pressure wheel set. The frame is also provided with a push rod module that drives the rotating frame to rotate and is signal-connected to the control module, so that each pressure wheel set can rotate to the underside of the walking wheel set or into the mounting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the frame has mounting parts on both sides of the walking channel, so that the frame cross-section has an inverted V-shaped structure.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the frame is provided with a hoisting frame.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The walking assembly of this utility model adopts a collaborative design of walking wheel sets and clamping wheel sets to prevent the frame from tipping over, avoid slippage, and ensure stable movement of the robot along the cable, adapting to complex cable paths such as those with ice accumulation and bends. The de-icing assembly adopts an ice-breaking structure of de-icing blades and de-icing pendulums, which can flexibly operate on ice of different thicknesses, avoiding the limitations of a single ice-breaking method, while reducing damage to the cable itself; this device completely replaces manual high-altitude and high-pressure operations through mechanized operation, fundamentally ensuring the safety of operators; it can also carry out de-icing without power interruption, avoiding production and livelihood losses caused by power outages, and balancing power supply stability and operational safety.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides a cable de-icing robot, including a frame 100, a walking assembly, and a de-icing assembly; wherein the frame 100 has a walking channel 110 extending through its front and rear ends at the bottom; the walking assembly includes walking wheel sets 200 arranged at intervals on the top wall of the walking channel 110, and clamping wheel sets 300 arranged one-to-one with the walking wheel sets 200, the clamping wheel sets 300 being able to rotate to below or outside the walking wheel sets 200; the de-icing assembly includes a de-icing blade 500 and a de-icing pendulum 600, the de-icing blade 500 being arranged at the front end of the frame and surrounding the opening of the walking channel 110, the de-icing pendulum 600 being arranged at the front end of the frame 100, and the de-icing pendulum 600 being able to swing on the radial surface of the cable.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the de-icing robot is used by suspending the frame 100 on the ice-covered cable and inserting the cable into the walking channel 110. The walking assembly adopts a cooperative structure of walking wheel set 200 and clamping wheel set 300. After the walking wheel set 200 rolls into contact with the cable, the clamping wheel set 300 can rotate to the position below the walking wheel set 200 to clamp the cable, so that the clamping wheel set 300 and the walking wheel set 200 form a bidirectional clamping, preventing the frame 100 from tipping over and ensuring the stability of the frame 100 moving along the cable. During robot movement, the de-icing blade 500 uses the kinetic energy from its movement through the frame 100 to impact the ice on the cable, while the de-icing pendulum 600 swings to break the ice. This dual-ice-breaking structure of the de-icing blade 500 and the de-icing pendulum 600 significantly improves de-icing efficiency. After breaking the ice, the clamping wheel assembly 300 can further crush any remaining ice on the cable, completely removing the ice. This multi-layered de-icing structure allows for flexible operation on ice of varying thicknesses, avoiding the limitations of a single ice-breaking method and reducing damage to the cable itself. To improve walking stability, the walking wheel assembly 200 has circumferentially arranged cable-pressing grooves. These grooves further enhance the fit with the cable, preventing slippage and ensuring stable robot movement along the cable, adapting to complex cable paths such as those with ice or bends.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to drive the operation of each structure, this embodiment has a motor module 700 installed in the frame 100 to drive the walking wheel assembly 200 and the de-icing pendulum 600. The motor module 700 is connected to the control module 800 and the power module 900. The motor module 700 drives the walking wheel assembly 200 and the de-icing pendulum 600 to work together. The control module 800 can be combined with a wireless remote controller to achieve remote control. The equipment can be precisely controlled by technicians. The wireless remote control technology is a prior art technology in this field, and the remote controller can use the corresponding model and specifications, which will not be described in detail here. The power module 900 provides continuous power to the equipment and can support long-term continuous de-icing operations. The power module 900 is detachable and multiple power modules 900 can be used in actual use to extend the working time of the equipment.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, in order to allow the clamping wheel assembly 300 to be stored inside the frame 100 and to avoid interference with the cable during robot hoisting and removal, this embodiment has a mounting groove 140 on the side wall of the walking channel 110. A rotating frame 400 is hinged in the mounting groove 140, and the end of the rotating frame 400 is rotatably connected to the clamping wheel assembly 300. The frame 100 also has a push rod module 1200 that drives the rotating frame 400 to rotate and is signal-connected to the control module 800. In this way, the push rod module 1200 is driven by the control module 800 to push the rotating frame 400 to rotate, so that the clamping wheel assembly 300 can rotate to the underside of the walking wheel assembly 200 or into the mounting groove 140. The push rod module 1200 adopts the electric push rod structure in the prior art, and the specific structure will not be described here.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the installation method of the de-icing pendulum 600 is as follows: a swing wheel 1000 is provided at the output end of the motor module 700 that drives the de-icing pendulum 600, and a swing rod 1100 is hinged to the outer periphery of the swing wheel 1000. The other end of the swing rod 1100 is hinged to the end of the de-icing pendulum 600. In this way, the swing wheel 1000 and the swing rod 1100 cause the de-icing pendulum 600 to swing at an angle when the swing rod 1100 rotates around the motor output end. Through its swing, it can directly strike the ice on the cable, or knock off the ice by striking the cable.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the frame 100 is provided with mounting parts 120 on both sides of the walking channel 110, so that the cross section of the frame 100 is an inverted V-shaped structure. This helps to lower the center of gravity and improve overall stability. In practical applications, the mounting parts 120 are used to install the power module 900, the control module 800, the motor module 700 and the push rod module 1200.

[0024] As mentioned earlier, the robot needs to be hoisted to the cable height during use, and a hoisting frame 130 is provided at the upper end of the frame 100. The hoisting frame 130 at the upper end facilitates the quick hoisting of the robot onto the cable, simplifying the deployment process. In practical applications, a heavy-duty drone is used for hoisting.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
