[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, a high-voltage equipotential device based on a robotic arm is suitable for operation of a robotic arm in power transmission lines. It includes a device body, wherein the device body includes a first connecting part, a second connecting part, an electric cylinder 40, and an equipotential adjustment part.
[0038] The equipotential adjustment unit can abut against the live main line 2. The equipotential adjustment unit is detachably connected to the robot body 20 through the first connection part, so that the robot body 20 enters the equipotential.
[0039] The second connecting part is located below the equipotential adjustment part and is connected to the robot position adjustment seat 5;
[0040] The electric cylinder 40 is located between the second connecting part and the equipotential adjustment part, and both ends of the electric cylinder 40 are connected to the second connecting part and the equipotential adjustment part respectively, and can provide an upward or downward force to the equipotential adjustment part.
[0041] The purpose of this design is to provide a high-voltage equipotential bonding device based on a robotic arm, suitable for robotic arm operations on power transmission lines. It connects to the live main line of the power transmission line via an equipotential adjustment unit and is connected to the robot body via a first connection unit, thereby establishing equipotentiality and forming an equipotential body to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment. The structure employing an electric cylinder and a second connection unit allows for adjustment of the contact position between the equipotential adjustment unit and the live main line after the equipotential bonding device is installed, thus preventing incomplete connections.
[0042] It should be pointed out that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 In a typical power transmission line operation scenario, a T-junction 1 is installed between adjacent live main lines 2. The high-voltage equipotential bonding device provided in this application is used in conjunction with the robot body to connect or dismantle the components on the T-junction 1.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the high voltage equipotential bonding device provided in this application is used to remove the components on the T-connector fittings in conjunction with the robot body. In the specific operation, the position of the robot body 20 is first adjusted by the robot position adjustment seat 5 to bring it close to the T-connector fitting 1. Then, the high voltage equipotential bonding device is installed on the robot body, and the position of the equipotential adjustment part is adjusted by the second connection part and the electric cylinder so that it can provide the necessary equipotential to the robot body.
[0044] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the equipotential adjustment unit includes a first connecting frame 42, a second connecting frame 43, and a contact rod 46;
[0045] One side of the first connecting frame 42 is connected to the first connecting part, the other side of the first connecting frame 42 is connected to the second connecting frame 43, and the lower part of the first connecting frame 42 is connected to the electric cylinder 40;
[0046] The contact rod 46 is connected to the second connecting frame 43, and the contact rod 46 can abut against the live main line 2.
[0047] Furthermore, the first connecting part includes a pair of connecting rod hinge supports 41, and the pair of connecting rod hinge supports 41 are respectively provided on both sides of the robot body 20, and the connection angle between the first connecting frame 42 and the second connecting frame 43 is an obtuse angle.
[0048] The purpose of this design is to use multiple hinges in the specific structure of the equipotential adjustment section, so that its angle can be adjusted within a certain range, while being stably fixed to the live main line by its own gravity.
[0049] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, both the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame are frame structures composed of metal connecting rods. Taking the first connecting frame as an example, it can be a rectangular structure with an opening on one side to facilitate the metal connecting rod on this side to be hinged to the connecting rod hinge support. At the same time, a metal connecting rod can also be attached to the middle of the rectangular structure so that one end of the electric cylinder can be connected to it, so that the electric cylinder applies force from the geometric center of the first connecting frame, making the upward or downward force distribution more balanced.
[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an equipotential support frame 44 is provided on the upper part of the first connecting frame 42, and the equipotential support frame 44 is connected to the second connecting frame 43 through a tension spring 45.
[0051] The purpose of this design is to strengthen the locking effect in the specific structural part of the equipotential adjustment section by using a tension spring to prevent slippage and detachment.
[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific structure of a contact rod, wherein the contact rod 46 is a square tube 4601, and both ends of the square tube 4601 are bent upward to form bent sections 47, and the energized main line 2 can contact the square tube 4601.
[0053] The purpose of this design is to create an open-top structure for the contact rod by using the square tube and the bent section. When it comes into contact with the live main line, the main line is restricted horizontally between the bent sections, making it less likely to detach from the square tube.
[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides another specific structure for the contact rod, wherein the contact rod 46 is a circular tube 4602, and circular fins 48 are provided at both ends of the circular tube 4602. The diameter of the circular fins 48 is larger than the inner diameter of the circular tube 4602, and the energized main wire 2 can contact the circular tube 4602.
[0055] The purpose of this design is to limit the movement of the energized main line by setting up a circular tube structure and combining it with circular fins on both sides.
[0056] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
