High voltage line de-icing vehicle design

What it does

High-voltage line de-icing car can be used on high-voltage lines mechanical de-icing and thermal de-icing two principles of de-icing, greatly improving the efficiency and safety of de-icing

Your inspiration

With the increasing scale and number of high-voltage transmission lines in China, the problem of ice cover in winter affecting the safe supply of electricity and stable operation is becoming more and more serious, and the way of climbing frame clearing ice is not only inefficient but also very laborious, and the ability of de-icing machinery to cross the barriers is obviously insufficient, so in order to better solve this problem, a new program is adopted to improve the efficiency of de-icing and cross the barriers of the high efficiency.

How it works

High-voltage line de-icing vehicle by mechanical and thermal de-icing, the internal device by the ice-breaking wheel / milling wheel set, eddy current thermal ice melting structure, turbo-screw posture arm, walking wheels and other components. The main structure is divided into two parts, the upper shell is used to store the de-icing mechanism (the upper shell through the rotation of the auxiliary mechanism to expand) the lower part of the storage of the motor to drive. In the process of de-icing, the motor drives the turbo-screw attitude arm to extend and retract and the traveling wheel to advance, in order through the process 1: through the attitude arm to extend and retract and rotate the auxiliary mechanism to expand the clamp to the high-voltage line, the process 2: the ice-breaking wheel to remove the large pieces of broken ice, the process 3: vortex melting ice area to heat the ice to melt the ice, the process

Design process

In order to determine through the determination of the mechanical structure to the realization of the final program, a variety of mechanical solutions were studied, and the current mechanical thermal double-action de-icing machinery was finally selected to verify the model of the actual product. Prove the feasibility of the product, and constantly modified, the realization of the function and structure of the organic integration, and finally present the existing product structure and form.

How it is different

The biggest advantage of this product is to avoid the traditional mechanical/heating single way due to mechanical impact or high temperature contact damage to transmission lines, followed by enhancing the flexibility and mobility across obstacles, improving the efficiency of de-icing and avoiding the occurrence of serious safety accidents. Increase its intelligent tendency, through the detection equipment real-time recording of operational data, infrared radar rapid ranging prejudge the action.

Future plans

Consider the best possible way to reduce the weight of the mechanical structure, make it lighter, enhance its stability, consider the best solution for the de-icing truck to be transported to the high-voltage line, enhance the human-machine co-operation of the de-icing robot, solve the problem of energy sustainability in the process of using the de-icing robot, experiment with a scenario closer to the real world, consider the reasonableness of the materials used to make it conform to the mold production process, and assess the feasibility of mass production. and the existing commercial value.
