The working principle of the substation inspection robot.
The substation inspection robot is a commonly used inspection mechanical device in substations.
Substation inspection work is relatively dangerous, so it is necessary to use robots for inspection. The efficiency and quality of inspection robots are higher than traditional manual inspections, and they can ensure the safety of inspection personnel.Substation inspection work is relatively dangerous, so it is necessary to use robots for inspection. The efficiency and quality of inspection robots are higher than traditional manual inspections, and they can ensure the safety of inspection personnel.
The overall structure of the substation inspection robot mainly includes a base station, a mobile body control system, and a power plant equipment detection system consisting of visible light image cameras, infrared image cameras, and sound detectors. The mobile body serves as the mobile carrier and information acquisition and control carrier of the entire robot system, including the mobile body, mobile body motion control system, and communication system. Effective monitoring, control, and management are required for the mobile body. For this purpose, a base station has been established.
A wireless LAN is formed between the base station and the mobile body through a wireless bridge. Video stream data from the video server and information from the mobile control system are collected into the network center, including visible light images and infrared images. Through the wireless bridge, the network hub transmits data to the operation monitoring terminal via the internal network of the power system. Computers connected to the local area network of the power system can access data accordingly.
Traditional substation inspections are mainly conducted manually, utilizing sensor organs and some supporting detection instruments to make simple qualitative judgments on substation equipment. This method has drawbacks such as high labor intensity, scattered detection quality, short inspection time, low detection efficiency, and many subjective factors. In recent years, with the development of computer technology and the widespread application of microcomputer monitoring technology in substations, substation inspection robot systems are gradually being used for unmanned or limited manned inspections of outdoor high-voltage equipment in substations. Due to their flexible control and operation methods, they play a certain role in detecting equipment defects, preventing accidents, and ensuring the safe operation of equipment, despite weather conditions.
