Modularization Design of Inspection Robot Based on Substation

Abstract

The existing substation inspection robot, with the visible light video detection and the infrared temperature measurement methods and so on, which can carry out remote inspections, routine inspections, special inspections, and carry out infrared general survey and accurate temperature measurement in the station. So, the substation inspection robot can read the Meter reading and identify mode of switch automatically. With the development of robot technology, substation users’ demand for the content of robot detection is increasing. For example, the robot can detect the SF6 gas leakage and detect the condition of equipment in the station and so on. But the cured testing robot can’t meet the needs of some substation’s demand. If the cured testing robots need to increase the content of detection, it should disassemble the complex structure to achieve the substation multi-task inspection. So, in this case, this paper presents a modular design method about the inspection robot to meet the different substation requirements for the diversification and differentiation of robots.
