Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot, in particular to an ultra-high voltage transmission line inspection robot, which belongs to the technical field of robots. Background technique [0002] Power transmission must rely on high-voltage transmission lines. Its safe and stable operation directly affects the reliability of the power system. Due to the wide distribution of transmission lines, many of them are far away from cities and towns, and the terrain is complex and the natural environment is harsh. Power lines and tower accessories Such as long-term exposure to the field, due to the impact of continuous mechanical tension, electrical flashover, and material aging, damage such as broken strands, wear, and corrosion will occur. Severe accidents cause large-scale power outages, resulting in huge economic losses and serious social impacts. Therefore, regular inspections must be carried out on transmission lines in order to detect and eliminate hidden dangers...

[0002] Power transmission must rely on high-voltage transmission lines. Its safe and stable operation directly affects the reliability of the power system. Due to the wide distribution of transmission lines, many of them are far away from cities and towns, and the terrain is complex and the natural environment is harsh. Power lines and tower accessories Such as long-term exposure to the field, due to the impact of continuous mechanical tension, electrical flashover, and material aging, damage such as broken strands, wear, and corrosion will occur. Serious accidents cause large-scale power outages, resulting in huge economic losses and serious social impacts. Therefore, regular inspections must be carried out on transmission lines in order to detect and eliminate hidden dangers in time and ensure power supply safety.

[0003] At present, the inspection and maintenance of ultra-high voltage transmission lines in China basically adopts the traditional operation method of manual visual inspection. People patrol the towers along the ground along the line. The method is labor-intensive and the conditions are difficult, especially for transmission line inspections in mountainous and river areas. The inspection cycle is long, and the cost and risk are high. Therefore, the use of robotic automatic inspections will become an inevitable development in the future. trend
