  Quality inspection power is good or bad, it is to ensure the safe operation of the key lines.However, with fewer staff, line the path length, factors such as bad weather and terrain, difficult to do everything in periodic inspections.Track-type substation inspection robot, extra high voltage transmission line inspection robot, Insulator detection robot and other robots can be applied to the inspection work EHV transmission lines, not only to reduce the work intensity transmission line workers, but also reduces the cost of inspection, improve the quality of management and technical level of inspection work.February 8, reporters in Shenyang Institute of Automation World Academy of Sciences saw this a few “new”.

  Rail substation inspection robot

  On the rooftop of the CAS Shenyang Institute of Automation, reporters saw the World’s first track-type substation inspection robot.It is 1150 mm long, 500 mm wide, 650 mm high, weighing about 30 kg, the traveling speed of up to 70 meters per minute.Temperature adaptability can be resistant to a minimum of minus 25 degrees Celsius cold, high temperature up to 50 degrees Celsius.

  According to reports, this robot when the patrol found a failure to warn the monitoring station.It is equipped with infrared night vision lights can ensure normal patrol at night.

  CAS Shenyang Institute of Automation, Robotics Laboratory Associate Professor Wang Ting describes, “At present, this orbital inspection robot has been put into trial operation.”

  EHV Transmission Line Inspection

  Volley overhead transmission lines, such as ape-like agility of a robot, with “arms” in the 500 kV EHV online free “walking”, a detailed examination of the details of the work surrounding electrical equipment.

  February 8, reporters in Shenyang Institute of Automation World Academy of Sciences learned that this is an extra high voltage transmission line inspection robot has completely independent intellectual property rights.Currently, this robot has entered the application stage demonstration, the next 3–5 years into the market.

  Vice director of the human space technology research center automation project researcher Wang Hongguang.The designers have been vividly classified as “Jie ape series” robots, walking and obstacle has two movements modes, can automatically traveling along the overhead ground wire.

  Shenyang Institute of Automation World Academy of Sciences Research Associate Laboratory third Jiang Yong introduction, this robot in China completed the first inspection robot 500 kV EHV transmission lines of the actual operation and testing.

  Insulator detection robot

  In the CAS Shenyang Institute of Automation, the reporter also saw a “Insulator detection robot”, has been successfully into the market, and each extra high voltage grid in Northeast China National Procurement Branch.Independent propelling double horizontal string porcelain Insulator this robot can EHV transmission lines of 500 kV in strain tower, which carries on Insulator intelligent detector and other equipment, the value zero can be detected independent of charged or low Insulator.(Reporter Feng Feng / Wen Wang Yan / photo)
