Automatic charging system and charging method for overhead transmission line inspection robot

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic charging system and charging method for an overhead transmission line inspection robot. The system comprises a charging device installed at the robot body end and a charging device which is connected with the charging device installed at the robot body end in a wireless communication mode and installed at the line pole tower end; the charging device installed at the robot body end monitors information of a battery in real time and transmits the information to a robot control system, the control system sends a control command to enable the charging device installed at the robot body end and the charging device installed at the line pole tower end to be aligned and positioned when power supply of the battery is insufficient, and then the charging device installed at the line pole tower end automatically charges the charging device installed at the robot body end. According to the automatic charging system and charging method, the inspection robot is charged through solar energy in a wireless mode, artificial participation is not needed in the whole process, and automatic running and automatic charging are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot charging technology, in particular to an autonomous charging system and a charging method for an overhead power transmission line inspection robot. Background technique [0002] The transmission line is an extremely important part of the power system. In order to ensure its safe and stable operation, regular inspections are required. The traditional transmission line inspection method is mainly based on manual inspection. The inspection efficiency is low, the labor intensity is high, the workers often work in the field, the working environment is harsh, and the inspection of the transmission line stalls across mountains, dense forests, and large rivers is difficult. bigger. The efficiency of helicopter inspection is high, but its economic benefit is poor, and it is easy to ignore the slight damage of the transmission line. The use of overhead transmission line inspection robot inspection can overcome the above shortco...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] When a line inspection robot works on a high-voltage transmission line, it generally uses a built-in battery for power supply. However, the inspection robot consumes a lot of energy during operation, and the battery needs to be replaced frequently during long-term operation. The overhead transmission line inspection robot often needs to cross mountains and lakes. Jungle and desert, on-site replacement of batteries is time-consuming and laborious, causing great inconvenience to inspections

[0005] The utility model patent "A Wireless Autonomous Charging System for Robots" (201520117746.0) discloses a wireless autonomous charging system for ground mobile robots. The charging system is essentially different from the autonomous charging system of the overhead transmission line inspection robot, and cannot be directly applied to the overhead transmission line inspection robot

The autonomous charging system of the overhead transmission line inspection robot includes solar power acquisition and wireless induction power acquisition, as well as the line inspection robot battery management system, battery detection system, wireless communication system, charging positioning system, energy storage detection system, etc. Each part forms an organic whole to solve the charging problem of the line patrol robot running along the ground line in a targeted manner. It is not a simple patchwork of solar power acquisition, wireless power transmission, and signal transceiver modules, nor is it a simple transplantation and integration of a general wireless charging system. expand
