Development Of Cable Deicing Robot

In recent years, with the worsening of the environment, a variety of severeweather began to frequent severe weather, for example, freezing rain is one of thedevastating disaster. Cable deicing and electrical system damage are the immediatecauses to economic losses. As a result, people pay more attention to the problem ofaerial cable deicing.Human deicing is common and extremely dangerous, and there are already manycasualties. Thermal deicing is the cable current increases, resulting in a lot of heat tomelt ice, but its energy consumption is very large. Mechanical deicing have twoadvantages that are energy consumption and efficient. This paper provides a newdeicing robot, the deicing robot mainly consists of four parts, dismantle institutionson the ground, the drive mechanism, running gear, de-icing institutions. For theproblems of traditional cable deicing robot cannot be ground removable, designed touse the lever, cable combination, completed ground dismounting. For traditionalmulti-drive robot high energy consumption, high cost, the design uses a motor-drivenwalking and deicing two institutions. For deicing walking robot does not slip, andadapt to poor diameter problem designed five sprocket Linkage, and realize the cablepositive pressure automatically increase and the stepless diameter change adaptivefunction. Requirements for deicing the robot icing and ice shape, designed to use acombination of the leaf spring and hammer, the use of leaf spring accumulator, shockput energy principle, complete efficient de-icing.This design is mainly for the aerial cable deicing robot programming, theoverall design, and the key structural components, and stress analysis and itsparticular spring selection of five sprocket rod. Ansys and Pro/e were used tomechanical analysis, motion simulation, and Harmonic Response module and StaticStructure module of Ansys design was used to optimize the properties, size,counterweight and frequency of the leaf spring, and using the auction of Pro/e thesimulation chain variable trajectory to complete cable deicing robot design, and to machining, assembly, experimental to the prototype.
