Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of non-destructive cleaning of insulator strings, and particularly relates to an insulator cleaning robot. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing expansion and complexity of the power network, the safe and stable operation of high-voltage transmission lines has become a key link in the operation of the power system. In-depth exploration of the core issues in the field of power engineering, the importance of insulator cleaning is increasingly prominent, becoming a key link to ensure the safe and stable operation of high-voltage transmission lines and even the entire power system. As the "invisible guardian" in high-voltage transmission lines, the performance state of insulators is directly related to the safety boundary of power transmission. Under the continuous erosion of the natural environment, the pollution gradually accumulated on the surface of the insulator not only erodes its insulating performance, but also poses a potential threat to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. The accumulation of pollution not only reduces the insulating resistance, leading to a decline in electrical performance, but also may form a conductive path under wet conditions, inducing a pollution flashover accident. Such accidents not only cause huge economic losses, affect power supply reliability and user satisfaction, but also may trigger a chain reaction, endangering the overall stability of the power system. In summary, regular and efficient cleaning of insulators is not only a routine means of maintaining equipment performance, but also a necessary measure to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid and prevent major power accidents. It can effectively restore the insulating performance of insulators, improve their anti-pollution flashover capability, and thus enhance the overall defense capability of the power grid. At the same time, with the continuous progress of cleaning technology, such as the application of robot automatic cleaning and environmentally friendly cleaning agents, cleaning operations are not only more efficient and accurate, but also pay more attention to environmental protection and personnel safety, further improving the operation and maintenance level and sustainable development capability of the power system.
