Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, substation inspection robots all use wheeled chassis, which are suitable for running on relatively flat roads. However, there are steps, gravel roads, stairs and other terrains in substations, which make it difficult to achieve full coverage of the inspection area. The ground will leave black marks and other problems, which is not conducive to long-term operation. The footholds of the leg-footed mobile mechanism are discrete, and it has better terrain passability
[0004] However, as far as the inventor knows, the existing legged robot platform is a universal platform, and its outriggers adopt a rigid structure. There is only one degree of freedom in the thigh and calf, and the leg structure is single. It can walk on steps, gravel roads, and stairs in substations. Poor passability
At the same time, during detection, the foot movement platform usually needs to be equipped with inspection equipment such as pan / tilt, detection sensor, multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, electronically controlled hand grip and tools, which will affect the position of the center of gravity of the platform and affect the posture of the motion platform. Stability control takes a toll
Therefore, the current substation inspection robot can only complete the inspection tasks of open substations, and cannot complete lightweight maintenance operations. Substation maintenance operation robots are suitable for cleaning and cleaning operations in low altitudes. For open substation ground switch cabinets and other equipment, the insulation distance is limited. unable to work

[0113] Each rotatable outrigger is equipped with an independent drive, and the control unit controls the action of each drive or / and the mechanical arm according to the obstacles on the site, and adjusts the posture of the robot platform or / and the mechanical arm to meet the walking of different tasks Require.

[0114] The legged robot platform adopts a unified interface form. The pan-tilt detection component and the robotic ...

Embodiment 2

[0142] Based on the substation legged robot in Embodiment 1, a multi-robot joint inspection system is provided, including several substation legged robots, substation wheeled robots and a central processing unit, wherein:

[0143] The substation legged robot conducts inspections in the first area, and the substation wheeled robot performs inspections in the second area, and both the first area and the second area have multiple inspection points;

[0144] The central processor communicates with the substation legged robots and substation wheeled robots, receives the inspection information obtained by all the robots at the corresponding inspection points, and is configured to analyze the inspection information, locate the power equipment and identify the location of the power equipment. state.

[0145] As an optional implementation, the inspection range formed by all the inspection points in the first area and the second area can cover the entire substation inspection area;

[...

Embodiment 3

[0152] A substation legged robot operation method, comprising the following steps:

[0153] When inspection is required, according to the obstacles on site, control the robot to reach the designated position, adjust the posture of the robot, and use the detection components to perform detection tasks on the corresponding substation equipment;

[0154] When maintenance is required, install the robotic arm, adjust the posture of the robot, and perform maintenance tasks.

[0155] According to the obstacles on the site, control the robot to reach the designated position and adjust the robot's posture. When the legged robot is walking, the legs are divided into supporting legs and swinging legs according to the supporting state. The supporting legs push the ground, and the feet move backward to push the trunk. Proceed; swing leg soars forward in preparation for touchdown. Wherein, the swinging stage of the swinging leg is divided into an ascending stage and a descending stage acco...
