The invention aims to provide a cable deicing robot for a transmission line, which comprises a main obstacle-crossing device, two deicing cars and two telescopic arms, wherein the two telescopic arms are respectively installed at the two end of the main obstacle-crossing device; and the two deicing cars are respectively installed on the two telescopic arms. The cable deicing robot has the beneficial effects that three cables are simultaneously deiced under the matching of the main obstacle-crossing device, the two telescopic arms and the two deicing cars on the two telescopic arms, the cable deicing robot can be applied to a 35 kV line, a 66 kV line, a 110 kV line and other high-tension lines on which the three cables are horizontally arranged, and the effect that one robot can simultaneously deice the three cables at one time is realized; and not only can obstacles on the cables be crossed, but also poles and towers can be crossed, so that the continuous operation on multiple lines is realized, and the situation that when reaching each pole and each tower, a line worker needs to repeatedly ascend the pole/tower to install and disassemble the robot is avoided.
