Polling robot for transformer substation

Abstract

The invention discloses a polling robot for a transformer substation. The robot comprises a body, a data acquisition module, a master control module, a motion control module, a temperature control module, a communication module and a power supply management module, wherein the robot body is of a four-wheeled robot trolley structure; the data acquisition module detects the surrounding environment,including a video image, an infrared temperature, a real-time position and an operating state, by means of a sensor and transfers the detected information to the master control module; the master control module is a data processing and logic control center of the robot; the motion control module controls actions of moving parts of the robot in a centralized manner; the temperature control module comprises a fan, a temperature sensor, an electric heater and a PLC; the communication module transmits data of the video image, infrared temperature, real-time position and operating state to a localbackground monitoring sub system by way of wireless communication. The robot provided by the invention is suitable for rigorous working environments, is high in image recognition rate and is good in obstacle crossing and climbing ability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent robots, in particular to a substation inspection robot. Background technique [0002] With the development of the smart grid system, the coverage of substations and power lines is getting wider and wider. While bringing convenience to people's lives, it also brings many new problems to the maintenance of equipment. In daily maintenance, if the traditional manual inspection method is used, it will not only consume a lot of manpower, but also cause low work efficiency. At the same time, the coverage, timeliness and accuracy of the inspection cannot be guaranteed. In view of various problems that may be caused by manual inspection, it has gradually become a trend to use substation inspection robots to replace manual inspection. [0003] Traditional substation inspection robots mostly use rechargeable lithium batteries for charging. Since the discharge efficiency of lithium batteries drops severe...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Traditional substation inspection robots mostly use rechargeable lithium batteries for charging. Since the discharge efficiency of lithium batteries drops severely when the temperature is below 0°C, most inspection robots cannot be used in remote areas in western my country due to battery life problems.

In addition, due to the height defect of the inspection robot itself, it is often difficult for some equipment at high altitudes to effectively collect information, and cannot completely replace manual inspections.

Most of the existing inspection robots are two-wheel drive plus universal wheel or four-wheel drive structure. Although the former has a small turning radius and flexible movement, it has poor obstacle-surmounting ability, while the latter has a strong obstacle-over-obstacle ability but can only use differential steering. The turning radius is relatively large, which cannot adapt to the narrow road conditions and is prone to falling
