Description

The utility model relates to the field of electric power and can be used for horseback inspection of the state of overhead power lines (VLEP).

The prototype is a remotely controlled vehicle designed for installation on the supports of overhead power lines with the ability to overcome obstacles on the supports (US Patent No. 7552684B2, IPC B61B7 / 06).

Known remote-controlled vehicle designed for installation on the supports of overhead power lines with the ability to overcome obstacles on the supports, contains the first and second movable frames. At least one movable swivel is mounted on the first frame, and the wheel is mounted on a swivel to support the vehicle on a support. The fastening means interact with the wheel and are adapted to hold the wheel on a support. At least one temporarily supporting device is mounted on a second frame. The temporarily supporting device comprises fastening means for holding the vehicle on a support. The vehicle contains actuators connected between the frames and levers for their movement relative to each other in order to overcome obstacles encountered on the support.

The main disadvantage of the prototype is the inability to bypass the pin insulators, since the design of the prototype is designed to overcome obstacles on the wire from the bottom, while pin insulators with the same dimensions of the device can be overcome only from above. Another disadvantage of the design of the prototype is that it can move from support to support only if they are located on the same line. When turning the VLEP highway at a large angle, for example, 45 or 90 degrees, the prototype will no longer be able to continue further movement.

The objective of the utility model is the development of a robotic device for horse inspection of the state of overhead power lines, which eliminated the disadvantages of the prototype.

The technical result is the expansion of functionality due to the implementation of the ability to pass obstacles, such as pin insulators, from above, as well as the ability to move along the VLEP wires when turning the VLEP route at a large angle.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that a robotic device for horse-drawn inspection of the state of overhead power lines (VLEP), moving either through a lightning protection cable or through a VLEP phase wire, overcoming typical suspension points, having roller mechanisms, electric drives that are locked on the wire, a movable video camera for monitoring the state wires, a battery for powering the device, configured to control a remote control device, according to this useful mode is it that it consists of several sections, at least three, equipped with a fastening system with two degrees of freedom, which allows you to flexibly adjust the angle of inclination of the sections, which allows you to bypass typical obstacles on the VLEP wire at any angle, has movable balancers, with which it can be turned over the wire to overcome the pin insulators, the device also contains infrared distance sensors, which allow you to identify existing obstacles on the wire.

Roller mechanisms are designed so that the clamp on the wire is carried out on both sides and there is a free zone between them so that, for example, a cable damper can fit in it. When passing the supporting clamps, the first section unclenches its roller mechanism, the complex moves forward, and the first section closes the roller mechanism on the other side of the supporting clamp, then the middle and third sections do the same as they move through the obstacle.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by the drawing, where in FIG. 1 shows its structural block diagram.

In FIG. 2 shows the device overcoming pin insulators and other similar obstacles.

In FIG. 3 shows the design of the roller mechanisms of the device.

In FIG. 4 depicts the process of the device passing support clamps or other similar obstacles.

In FIG. 5 shows a flip of the device 180 degrees relative to the wire.

In FIG. Figure 6 shows the movement of the device along the VLEP wire when turning the VLEP path through an angle, for example, 45 or 90 degrees.

A robotic device 1 for horse-drawn inspection of the state of overhead power lines, moving either through a lightning protection cable or through a VLEP 12 phase wire, overcoming typical suspension points, having roller mechanisms 4 locked on the wire, driven by electric drives 3, a real-time mobile video camera with a wireless channel communication for monitoring the state of the writeable wire 7, control device 6, power supply 5, remote control device 9, from which wirelessly th channel control signal of the operator on the control device 6 and the image that comes from a real-time video camera 7.

The difference between the proposed robotic device for horse-drawn inspection of the VLEP condition is that it consists of several sections (at least three) equipped with a fastening system with two degrees of freedom, which allows flexible adjustment of the section angle, which allows avoiding typical obstacles on the VLEP wire (insulators, supporting clamps, transition between supports, vibration dampers, oval wire connectors, sensors, marking balls, damage indicators) at any angle, has special movable balancers 2 by means of which it can be turned over on a wire to overcome pin insulators 10 and other similar obstacles (Fig. 2). The device also contains connected to the control device 6, infrared distance sensors 8, which allow you to determine the existing obstacles on the wire.

Another feature of the proposed robotic device for horse inspection of the VLEP state is that the roller mechanisms are designed so that the clamp on the wire is carried out on both sides and there is a free zone between them to fit, for example, a wire damper (Fig. 3). When passing the supporting clamps or other similar obstacles, the first section unclenches its roller mechanism, the complex moves forward, and the first section closes the roller mechanism on the other side of the supporting clamp, then the middle and third sections do the same as they move through the obstacle (Fig. 4) .

The number of sections directly depends on the length of the largest defect on the line, to successfully overcome it. That is, the length of the complex can be regulated and increased.

The device is flipped on the wire as follows: special movable balancers 2 are expanded, thereby shifting the center of gravity, begin to outweigh the main body, and because of this, the device is turned 180 degrees relative to the wire (Fig. 5).

The sections are tilted to the required angle by a special hinged fastening system with two degrees of freedom, which allows movement through the VLEP 12 wire, for example, mounted on pin insulators 10 with different sag angles of the wire before and after such an insulator (Fig. 2), as well as turning the VLEP route at an angle of, for example, 45 or 90 degrees (Fig. 6). The pin insulators 10 are mounted on the VLEP 11 support (Fig. 6).

Thus, the proposed utility model has wider possibilities for overcoming possible obstacles on the VLEP wire due to the implementation of the ability to pass obstacles, such as pin insulators, from above, as well as the ability to move along the VLEP wires when turning the VLEP route at a large angle.
