Drone-applied Cable Placing Technology for Overhead Transmission Lines
Cable placing is a key link in construction of overhead transmission lines,which has a direct impact on construc-tion efficiency and cost.At present drones are mainly used for the deployment of guiding ropes in cable placing of overhead transmission lines.However there exist in practical operation problems such as a large number of high-altitude workers,a large amount of work under the tower,and long equipment occupation time.Based on analyzing current construction sta-tus of drones in guiding rope deployment,this paper proposes a new guiding rope deployment technology for drones to di-rectly pass through the placing pulley.By installing a suspension frame and modifying the supporting sliding rod,cable placing process is optimized,and the ground control platform is designed to further improve the automation level.The test results show that the proposed technology can effectively reduce the amount of high-altitude work and improve construc-tion efficiency.
