Cable inspection robot capable of automatically removing icicles

Abstract

The invention discloses a cable inspection robot capable of automatically removing icicles, belonging to the technical field of robotics. The cable inspection robot comprises a robot body, a power source, a walking mechanism, a conical ice removing cutter, an ice breaking mechanism, an ice beating mechanism and a detection mechanism. The cable inspection robot is simple in structure, can continuously detect a cable, and does not need to stop to conduct deicing before detection of the cable, so the advancing speed of the robot and cable detection efficiency are improved, and a power system of the robot can be better protected; a detection head rotates along the cable while moving, so detection effect is further improved; by arranging the ice beating mechanism and the ice breaking mechanism, the icicles on the outer surface of the cable can be effectively removed, and ice removing effect is improved; and meanwhile, residual water on the surface of the cable can be sucked dry through annular water absorption cotton and annular cleaning cotton, the surface of the cable is cleaned, and when the robot body cannot walk, the water absorbed by the annular water absorption cotton and the annular cleaning cotton is squeezed out to keep the cable dry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cable detection, and in particular relates to a cable inspection robot capable of automatically removing icicles. Background technique [0002] High-voltage cables are the most common way of power transmission, which is unavoidable in modern human society. During the use of high-voltage cables, they need to be inspected regularly to detect whether there is any damage on their surface. [0003] In the northern part of my country, cables will freeze to form icicles due to the drop in temperature in winter, which makes the inspection robot unable to inspect the cables. It is necessary for the inspection robot to clean up the icicles. During the deicing process, the inspection robot cannot To move forward smoothly, the robot needs to stop and de-ice before continuing to move forward. For cables with many icicles, the inspection robot needs to start and stop frequently in short distances. On the one hand, its ...

[0003] In the northern part of my country, cables will freeze to form icicles due to the drop in temperature in winter, which makes the inspection robot unable to inspect the cables. It is necessary for the inspection robot to clean up the icicles. During the deicing process, the inspection robot cannot To move forward smoothly, the robot needs to stop and de-ice before continuing to move forward. For cables with many icicles, the inspection robot needs to start and stop frequently in short distances. On the one hand, its moving speed is severely limited, and the de-icing efficiency and detection efficiency are low. On the other hand, frequent start and stop not only consumes the power of the robot itself, but also causes the robot’s power system to age rapidly and be easily damaged. The inspection robot needs to break the thicker ice, and whether it is to break the ice by tapping or using the ice knife to break the ice directly, it needs to provide a large power. Provided by the friction between the walking wheel and the cable, which may cause the inspection robot to idling and slip on the cable
