Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power robots, and particularly to an active sampling robot system and method for transformer oil samples. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this part merely provide background technologies related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] The transformer is one of the key devices in the power system, and its operating state directly affects the safety and stability of the power grid. Regular collection and analysis of transformer oil samples can detect the internal oil quality condition of the transformer, timely discover and diagnose abnormal faults such as arc discharge and overheating inside the equipment, so as to give early warnings and avoid the occurrence of major accidents. The existing transformer oil sample collection work is mostly completed manually. The oil sampling process is complex, the labor intensity of the operation is large, the operation efficiency is low, it is easily affected by the environment, and there are serious safety risks. Using a transformer oil sampling robot to replace manual operation, applying an automatic docking device, and optimizing the operation process have important application values for improving the operation and maintenance efficiency and safety of the power system, reducing the risks of manual operation, and ensuring the high reliability of power supply.
[0004] How to achieve the automatic and active collection of transformer oil samples is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. To solve this technical problem, a comprehensive design needs to be carried out from aspects such as the structure of the collection robot system, the self-check control of the collection robot system (the existing self-check strategy is lacking), and the navigation control of the robot (the existing navigation control accuracy is low). For example, in the design of the collection robot system structure, the existing solutions mainly combine an oil sampling robot and an oil sampling tank for oil sampling. The robot is equipped with a syringe for oil sampling. Each time oil is sampled, the robot needs to walk to the side of the oil sampling tank for pipeline docking and then sample the oil, and fill each syringe in turn. Each time, oil pipeline docking is required, which not only has poor safety but also low oil sampling efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Use visual odometry to monitor the moving path of the oil extraction robot in real time, analyze the moving trajectory of the depth camera, and estimate the displacement and attitude of the oil extraction robot relative to the environment;
[0064] Plan a path based on the target position and the positions of key landmarks.

[0067] When approaching the target position, continuously collect real-time images and perform landmark comparison and position fine-tuning.

Self-checks are respectively performed on the power management system, the autonomous operation master controller, the robot upper computer control system, the navigation and positioning system, the mobile platform control system, and the oil sample collection and detection control system.

If there is no new version of the code, the application program in the APP area is directly started;
[0072] The self-check of the robot host control system includes: after the host control system is powered on, it first reads the version information of the host software and compares it with the compatible version list stored internally. If there is a new version, an application update is performed. Then, it starts to check the network connection between the host control system and the autonomous operation master controller. If the network connection fails, an error warning is issued. After the connection is normal, it starts to read the relevant configuration parameters of the autonomous operation master controller and displays them on the screen to verify whether the relevant configuration parameters meet the requirements of the current operation. If they do not meet the requirements, an error warning is issued to prompt the operator to check and reset;
[0073] The self-check of the navigation and positioning system includes: after the navigation and positioning system is powered on, it first checks whether the hardware of the positioning unit, inertial measurement unit, and lidar is normal. If there are any hardware abnormalities, corresponding error warnings are issued, and at the same time, it is confirmed whether the positioning unit, inertial measurement unit, and lidar have been correctly initialized and are in the working state. Then, it starts the power-on repositioning and positioning accuracy calibration, and evaluates the accuracy of the positioning unit by comparing the difference between the actual position and the expected position. For the inertial measurement unit, zero-offset calibration and gyroscope drift test are performed to determine whether the usage accuracy is met. If it does not meet the requirements, an alarm message is issued;

If there are any errors, corresponding warnings are issued;
[0075] The self-check of the oil sample collection and detection control system includes: after the oil sample collection and detection control system is powered on, it first resets each syringe on the oil sampling robot. During the reset, the photoelectric detection switch of each syringe drive module is detected. When a signal is output, the reset is stopped, and the value of the encoder of the drive motor of each syringe is read as the zero point of the syringe movement. During the reset process, the output torque of the drive motor of each syringe is continuously detected. When the warning threshold is reached, the movement of the drive motor of the syringe is immediately stopped, and a warning message is issued to prompt that the syringe reset is abnormal.

[0113] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
[0114] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further description of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
[0115] Embodiment 1:
[0116] In this implementation mode, an active sampling robot system for transformer oil samples is proposed, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, it includes an oil tank 1, an oil extraction robot, and a charging pile 8. The oil extraction robot includes a robot chassis 3, a robot housing 2, an automatic docking device 7, an oil sample storage and retrieval device 5, and a total autonomous operation controller 4.
[0117] As Figure 3 shown, the oil tank 1 mainly includes an oil tank body 107, a feature identifier 101, an oil sample extraction device 105, an oil tank lifting door 106, an oil tank door 108, a fixing rod 102, an oil extraction pipeline assembly, a grounding bar 110, a control unit 119, etc. The oil tank 1 is installed on a base 103 (the base 103 is fixed on the ground). A silicone waterproof strip is installed on the inner surface of the oil tank door 108, and a flat lock 109 is installed on the oil tank door 108. The oil tank door 108 and the oil tank body 107 are structurally pressed to achieve a waterproof function. A grounding bar 110 is provided on the outer side of the oil tank body 107 to achieve grounding. A control unit 119 is installed inside the oil tank 1 to control and detect the operating state of the oil tank 1 and communicate with the upper computer.
[0118] The feature identifier 101 is fixed above the oil tank body 107 for the lidar 201 of the oil extraction robot to perform feature recognition, so as to position and navigate the oil tank 1 and realize the docking between the oil extraction robot and the oil tank 1 when taking oil.
[0119] The oil sample extraction device 105 is arranged inside the oil tank 1. As Figure 5 shown, the oil sample extraction device 105 includes an oil sample pushing device, a syringe rotating mechanism, and a syringe docking mechanism.
[0120] The syringe rotating mechanism includes a syringe rotating seat 10512 and a rotating base 10513. The rotating base 10513 is fixed inside the oil tank 1, and the syringe rotating seat 10512 is connected to the rotating base 10513 and rotates around the rotating base 10513 driven by a motor.
[0121] The syringe docking mechanism is arranged on the upper part of the syringe rotating mechanism and includes an up and down telescoping mechanism 1058 and a syringe docking rod 1059. The up and down telescoping mechanism 1058 is fixed on the syringe rotating seat 10512, and the syringe docking rod 1059 is connected to the moving end of the up and down telescoping mechanism 1058. The up and down telescoping mechanism 1058 can perform telescoping movement of 30 mm up and down, driving the syringe docking rod 1059 to move together. The inside of the syringe docking rod 1059 is an oil passage, and the lower part is connected to the oil outlet of the oil extraction pipeline assembly through a PU pipe. The oil outlet is a conical groove, which is matched and connected with the head structure of the syringe 1053. A sealing rubber ring 105901 is installed at the bottom of the conical groove 105902 to play a role in preventing oil leakage and sealing during docking.
[0122] The oil sample pushing devices are evenly arranged on the syringe rotating base 10512 and include six groups of structures. Each group of structures includes a syringe pushing module 10511, a piston pushing seat 1051, a syringe barrel clamping seat 1052, a syringe 1053, a syringe pushing module limit sensor 10514, a syringe clamping mechanism, and an on-line detection sensor 10510.
[0123] The syringe pushing module 10511 includes a motor, a lead screw, a guide rail, a structural body, and a syringe pushing module limit sensor 10514. The syringe pushing module 10511 pushes the oil sample of the syringe 1053 to achieve entry and exit, and the pushing of the oil sample is stable and accurate, and is limited by the limit sensor.
[0124] The syringe clamping mechanism includes a clamping motor 1054, syringe barrel grippers 1055, a gripper gear assembly 1056, and a syringe gripper frame 1057. The clamping motor 1054, the syringe barrel grippers 1055, and the gripper gear assembly 1056 are arranged on the syringe gripper frame 1057. The clamping motor 1054 drives the gripper gear assembly 1056 to move, driving the paired syringe barrel grippers 1055 to move in the same direction, for clamping or loosening the syringe barrel of the syringe 1053. The inner surface of the syringe barrel grippers 1055 is designed as an arc mechanism that fits the outer wall of the syringe barrel and is attached with a rubber gasket, which plays a buffering role during clamping to prevent damage to the syringe 1053.
[0125] The syringe barrel clamping seat 1052 is provided with a D-shaped opening groove for the syringe barrel and a limit groove at the lower part, which limits the movement of the syringe barrel of the syringe 1053 during the movement of the pushing piston. An on-line detection sensor 10510 is arranged above the syringe barrel clamping seat 1052 to detect whether the syringe 1053 is installed in place.
[0126] The piston pushing seat 1051 is arranged on the syringe pushing module 10511 and is provided with a D-shaped opening groove for the piston and a U-shaped notch. The piston in the syringe 1053 is connected to the piston handle. The D-shaped opening groove for the piston facilitates the fitting of the piston handle to push the piston, and the U-shaped notch is used for the picking and placing of the syringe 1053. The syringe 1053 is made of glass material, which is convenient for observing the internal liquid.
[0127] The fuel tank access door 106 is fixed to the door frame of the fuel tank body 107, as Figure 6As shown in the figure, it mainly includes a limit switch 104 for controlling the up and down movement of the lifting door, a through screw motor 120, a through screw 121, and two groups of lifting door guide rails 122. The lifting door guide rails 122 and the lower limit switch 104 are arranged on the fuel tank access door frame 123. The through screw motor 120 is fixed on the fuel tank body 107. The through screw 121 is installed on the lifting door. The lifting door is slidably connected to the lifting door guide rails 122. The output shaft of the through screw motor 120 is connected to the through screw 121. When the output shaft of the through screw motor 120 rotates, it drives the through screw 121 to move up and down, and then drives the lifting door to move up and down along the lifting door guide rails 122.
[0128] As Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the oil sampling pipeline assembly is installed in the fuel tank 1. The upper part is connected to the oil inlet of the oil sampling device 105. The lower part is divided into three branches and connected to the upper, middle, and lower oil sampling branches 118 of the transformer, and returns to the transformer through the oil return branch 115. It includes the upper transformer branch 111, the middle transformer branch 112, the lower transformer branch 113, a circulation pump 114, an oil return branch 115, a ball valve 116, a solenoid valve 117, and an oil sampling branch 118. A solenoid valve 117 and a ball valve 116 are installed on each branch to manually or automatically control the on-off of the oil circuit. The solenoid valve 117 is a normally closed valve. A circulation pump 114 is installed at the front end of the oil return branch 115, which is mainly used to realize the circulation of the oil in the upper, middle, and lower branches of the transformer and the oil in the transformer, so as to obtain qualified oil samples. The oil sampling pipeline assembly can connect the upper transformer branch 111, the middle transformer branch 112, and the lower transformer branch 113 with the oil sampling branch 118 to complete the collection of three oil samples.
[0129] The robot chassis 3 includes a robot body, a wheel-leg assembly 301, etc. A charging port 302 and a debugging interface assembly 303 are installed at the front end of the robot body, which can be used for autonomous charging and debugging connection. A control panel is provided at the rear end of the robot body, which has interfaces for debugging, switching, manual charging, etc. The wheel-leg assembly 301 adopts a four-wheel drive form, with flexible steering, stable and reliable.
[0130] An automatic docking device 7, an oil sample storage and retrieval device 5, an autonomous operation master controller 4, and a negative pressure air source 6 are installed on the robot chassis 3.
[0131] The robot housing 2 is installed on the robot chassis 3 and is tightly combined with the robot chassis 3 through a rubber strip 210. It includes a lidar 201, a lidar support 202, a depth camera 203, ultrasonic sensors 214, a communication antenna 205, a left door 206, an emergency stop switch 208, a bumper strip 209, a rubber strip 210, a docking device seal cover, a right door 212, a rear door 213, and an oil sample detection camera. A bumper strip 209 and ultrasonic sensors 214 distributed on both sides of the bottom are installed at the front end of the robot housing 2. A touch switch is installed inside the bumper strip 209, which can slow down the impact and give an alarm when a collision occurs. When the oil extraction robot docks and has a deflection angle with the oil extraction tank 1, the distance is measured by the ultrasonic sensors 214 on both sides, and the deflection angle data is calculated and transmitted to the autonomous operation master controller 4, and the automatic docking device 7 adjusts the deflection angle. The lidar support 202 is set above the front end of the robot housing 2, and a lidar 201 is installed above to realize the positioning and navigation of the oil extraction robot. A depth camera 203 is arranged below to monitor the operation task environment in real time.
[0132] As Figure 7 shown, front side doors 204, rear doors 213, left doors 206, and right doors 212 are respectively arranged around the robot housing 2. They are made of ABS material (i.e., acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene). Magnetic lock 207 is installed on the rear door 213, left door 206, and right door 212, which is convenient for on-site operation and maintenance. The front side door 204 is a lifting door that can automatically lift during automatic docking. The oil sample detection camera is installed inside the robot housing 2 and has an automatic lighting function. A reflector 211 is installed on the back of the left door 206, which is convenient for the oil sample detection camera to detect the details of the oil sample extraction of the syringe 1053 through the reflection of the reflector 211 in a narrow space.
[0133] The distance between the two ultrasonic sensors 214 is , and by detecting the distances from the two sensors to the surface of the oil extraction tank 1 l1 and l2 , through the formula θ = arctan (( l2 - l1 ) / a ), the deflection angle θ value of the oil extraction robot when docking with the oil extraction tank 1 can be obtained; if θ the value is positive, the automatic docking device 7 rotates clockwise, and if the θ value is negative, the automatic docking device 7 rotates counterclockwise. To ensure that the automatic docking device 7 is perpendicular to the surface of the oil extraction tank 1 for convenient automatic docking and oil extraction.
[0134] The automatic docking device 7 includes a guiding and docking mechanism 704, a grasping mechanism 701, an X-direction moving slide 707, a Y-direction moving slide 706, a telescopic mechanism 702, a vertical frame 703, a rotating mechanism 705, etc. The X-direction moving slide 707 is fixed on the robot chassis 3.
[0135] The guiding and docking mechanism 704 is fixed on the connecting plate 7049 through the guiding and docking mechanism fixing plate 7048. The vertical frame 703 is provided with a chute block 7031 and a sliding damper 7032. The guiding and docking mechanism 704 includes a pole holding mechanism adjusting plate, a pole holding mechanism connecting piece 7041, a pole holding mechanism 7046, a guiding plate 7045, a guiding plate bracket 7043, a front fixed pole sensor 7044, a rear fixed pole sensor 7042, a pole holding mechanism fixing plate 704611, and a guiding and docking mechanism fixing plate 7048.
[0136] The chute block 7031 (which can be a vertical slider, for example) on the vertical frame is located in the vertical chute of the connecting plate 7049. The bottom end of the chute block 7031 is connected to the sliding damper 7032 (which can be an elastic component such as a spring). The connecting plate 7049 can achieve small-amplitude up-and-down sliding under the cooperation of the chute block 7031 and the sliding damper 7032. It can be understood that in some other implementation manners, a sliding damper connected to the inner top wall of the vertical chute can also be provided at the top end of the chute block 7031, and up-and-down floating can be achieved through the two up-and-down sliding dampers. The pole-holding mechanism 7046 is fixed to the guiding and docking mechanism fixing plate 7048 through the pole-holding mechanism adjusting plate and the pole-holding mechanism connecting member 7041, and includes a pole-holding seat 70461, a holding claw 70462, an opposite holding claw 704610, a gear 70468, a rack 70463, a guide rail pair 70464, a pole-holding driving motor 70466, a driving motor housing 70465, a flange 70467, a bearing 70469, and a pole-holding mechanism fixing plate 704611. By adjusting the position of the pole-holding mechanism fixing plate 704611 on the pole-holding mechanism adjusting plate, the position of the pole-holding mechanism 7046 can be adjusted to facilitate better grasping and fixing of the fixing rod 102. The pole-holding driving motor 70466 is fixed on the pole-holding seat 70461. The output shaft of the pole-holding driving motor 70466 is fixedly connected to the flange 70467 with a central shaft. The central shaft of the flange 70467 passes through the gear 70468 and is then connected to the inner ring of the bearing 70469. The outer ring of the bearing 70469 is connected to the pole-holding seat 70461. The gear 70468 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the flange 70467. The racks 70463 are arranged on both sides of the gear 70468 (the inner sides of the racks 70463 are teeth) and are in close meshing with the gear 70468. Guide rail pairs 70464 are arranged on each of the racks 70463, playing a guiding and load-bearing role. The holding claw 70462 and the opposite holding claw 704610 are installed on both sides of the rack 70463. The holding claw 70462 and the opposite holding claw 704610 are respectively designed into a single-claw and a double-claw structure. When the gear 70468 rotates, it drives the rack 70463 and the holding claw 70462 to move relatively. The holding claw 70462 and the opposite holding claw 704610 are overlapped in a fork shape, and the fixing rod 102 can be firmly held and will not slip off. A driving motor housing 70465 is installed outside the pole-holding driving motor 70466, playing a protective role. During specific installation, Figure 12 the pole-holding mechanism 7046 in Figure 9 is installed upside down, that is, the driving motor housing 70465 is on the top.
[0137] The guide plate 7045 is connected and fixed to the two sets of guide plate brackets 7043 on the guide docking mechanism fixing plate 7048. The guide plate 7045 is designed as a ramp structure (the ramp should ensure a certain smoothness) and is made of a hard and wear-resistant material. During operation, the fixed rod 102 of the fuel tank 1 remains stationary. The front end of the guide plate 7045 contacts the spherical body at the front end of the fixed rod 102, and the spherical body at the front end of the fixed rod 102 slides passively along the inclined surface of the ramp structure, lifting the guide docking mechanism 704. The front sensor 7044 and the rear sensor 7042 of the fixed rod are installed at the front and rear ends of the guide plate bracket 7043 and are triggered by the fixed rod 102 during operation.
[0138] The docking detection camera 7047 is installed at the front of the guide docking mechanism 704, which can observe the state during docking in real time and feedback problems in a timely manner.
[0139] The grasping mechanism 701 is arranged on the telescopic mechanism 702 and moves with the movement of the telescopic mechanism 702.

The fixed end cover 7013 and the bearing retainer 7016 fix the outer ring of the spherical plain bearing 7017 on the docking fixing seat 7014, and the flexible adjustment rod 7019 passes through the inner ring of the spherical plain bearing 7017 and is connected to the bracket connecting plate 7012.
[0141] The large adjustment spring 7015 and the small adjustment spring 7018 are respectively installed between the flexible adjustment rod 7019 and the bearing retainer 7016, and between the fixed end cover 7013 and the bracket connecting plate 7012. By adjusting the flexible adjustment rod 7019, the tightness of the spring can be adjusted. Under the combined action of the inner ring, outer ring of the spherical plain bearing 7017 and the adjustment spring, the docking oil intake port can achieve flexible rotation and swinging docking at multiple angles.
[0142] The telescopic support 7011 is arranged at the front end of the support connecting plate 7012. A guiding groove is provided inside the telescopic support 7011. The telescopic lifting rod 70115 is arranged in the middle and can move up and down along the guiding groove. The front end of the telescopic lifting rod 70115 is used to hold up the piston handle of the syringe 1053. A driving rack 70113 is installed on the telescopic lifting rod 70115. The lifting driving motor 70114 is installed on the telescopic support 7011. The driving gear 70112 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor. When the lifting driving motor 70114 moves, it drives the driving gear 70112 and the rack 70463 to move, realizing the lifting of the telescopic lifting rod 70115.
[0143] The syringe clamping mechanism is installed on the telescopic support 7011 and realizes the rotating function of the elevator following the clamping mechanism.

When the rotating driving motor 7052 rotates, it drives the small gear 7053 to rotate along the large gear 7051, thus realizing the rotation of the vertical frame 703.

[0153] The charging pile 8 is arranged at a suitable position in the substation. The charging connector 801 adopts a telescopic structure. The oil sampling robot stops at a suitable position of the charging pile 8 through positioning and navigation. The charging connector 801 automatically extends to dock with the charging port 302 of the oil sampling robot to realize autonomous charging.
[0154] The negative pressure air source 6 is fixed on the robot chassis 3 and is connected to the oil sample access device 5 through an air pipe, and can blow and extract air.
[0155] The automatic oil sample collection operation process of the above system includes:
[0156] Power on. After the oil sampling robot is initialized, it is in a standby state. After the task is issued, it starts to execute the command;
[0157] The oil sampling tank 1 first collects the oil sample. The appropriate pipeline is connected. The syringe rotating mechanism rotates to select a suitable syringe 1053. The syringe docking mechanism docks. The oil sample extraction device 105 starts to collect the oil sample. When the oil sample pressure is low, it can be pressurized in real time through the booster pump;
[0158] First, flush the pipeline with oil sample. The oil returns to the transformer through the return pipeline. Then, flush the first syringe and the pipeline three times, and then take oil with the first syringe;
[0159] Then, the second to the sixth syringes are flushed and oil is taken in sequence;
[0160] According to the positioning and navigation of the lidar 201, the oil sampling robot moves quickly towards the oil sampling tank 1. After reaching an appropriate initial position in front of the oil sampling pile, it moves slowly. After reaching a suitable position relative to the oil sampling pile, it stops advancing. The lifting door 106 of the oil sampling tank rises. The deflection angle data is detected by the ultrasonic sensor. The automatic docking device 7, together with the lifting frame, rotates and adjusts to make the automatic docking device 7 perpendicular to the cabinet surface of the oil sampling tank 1, facilitating automatic docking and oil extraction;
[0161] At this time, the automatic docking device 7 moves horizontally along the X direction. After the fixed rod 102 touches the lower edge of the guide plate 7045, it continues to move. The guiding docking mechanism 704, the telescopic mechanism 702, and the grasping mechanism 701 are lifted passively by a certain height (less than 30 mm) together. The fixed rod 102 triggers the front sensor 7044 of the fixed rod. After confirming that the state is normal, it continues to advance until it triggers the rear sensor 7042 of the fixed rod, and then the automatic docking device 7 stops advancing;
[0162] The holding rod mechanism 7046 starts to move and firmly holds the fixed rod 102. During the holding process, the automatic docking device 7 moves and adjusts following the Y direction to make the jaws of the grasping mechanism 701 within the corresponding range where the syringe 1053 can be just grasped;
[0163] The telescopic lifting rod 70115 of the grasping mechanism 701 is adjusted to an appropriate length according to the telescopic length of the piston handle of the syringe 1053 in the oil sampling tank, with the bottom of the piston handle of the syringe 1053 in the oil sample extraction device 105 being held as the standard;
[0164] The telescopic mechanism 702 moves forward, driving the grasping mechanism 701 forward until the sensor in the syringe 1053 of the grasping mechanism 701 is triggered and stops. The syringe clamping mechanism of the grasping mechanism 701 starts to firmly hold the qualified collected syringe 1053 on the oil sample extraction device 105. The syringe clamping mechanism on the oil sample extraction device 105 releases the syringe 1053. The telescopic lifting rod 70115 of the grasping mechanism 701 rises, slightly lifting the bottom of the piston handle of the syringe 1053 to prevent the piston from slipping. The telescopic mechanism 702 moves backward, taking out the syringe 1053 from the oil sample extraction device 105 of the oil sampling tank 1. After moving to a suitable position, the grasping mechanism 701 rotates 180° clockwise. The telescopic mechanism 702 continues to move backward, pushing the syringe 1053 to the corresponding position of the oil sample storage and retrieval device 5, and storing the syringe 1053 at the corresponding position of the oil sample storage and retrieval device 5;
[0165] After the rubber cap docking rod 505 rises to a certain position and rotates, it sucks the rubber cap 502 from the rubber cap support 503 of the rubber cap installation mechanism by negative pressure, then rotates above the newly placed syringe 1053, descends, and after putting the rubber cap 502 on the bottom position of the syringe 1053, blows air out by positive pressure to automatically seal the rubber cap 502.
[0166] After the oil sample collection is completed, the oil sampling robot starts to withdraw, and the withdrawal operation process is opposite to the docking process.
[0167] In this implementation method, as Figure 14 shown, it also includes a robot host computer control system, an autonomous operation general controller, a power management system, a navigation and positioning system, a mobile platform control system, and an oil sample collection and detection control system.
[0168] The host computer control system includes a remote controller and a background system. Users can choose to issue operation commands through the background system, and the oil sampling robot will execute tasks autonomously. They can also choose to use the remote controller, and the operator can control the transformer oil sample collection robot to perform the oil sample collection task.
[0169] The autonomous operation general controller conducts information interaction with the robot host computer control system, the power management system, the navigation and positioning system, the mobile platform control system, and the oil sample collection and detection control system through communication modules such as network, serial port, and CAN bus. After receiving the task from the robot host computer control system, the autonomous operation general controller decomposes the task into subtasks and issues them to the corresponding systems according to the operation logic, and waits for the feedback on the execution situation of the subtasks from this system. After receiving the successful execution feedback, it then executes the next subtask until the total task is completed.
[0170] The power management system includes a voltage conversion module and a charging management module. The voltage conversion module converts the 48VDC power of the mobile platform into 12VDC and 24VDC to supply power to the corresponding devices. The charging management module monitors the current power in real time. When the power is lower than 20%, it sends an alarm message. When it is lower than 10%, it stops the current task, autonomously goes to the charging pile location for charging. After the battery is fully charged, it detaches from the charging pile and resumes task execution.
[0171] As Figure 15 shown, the navigation and positioning system includes a navigation controller, a lidar, an inertial measurement unit, a depth camera, and a positioning unit. The lidar and the depth camera collect external environment information. The inertial measurement unit obtains the attitude and acceleration information of the mobile platform and cooperates with the positioning unit to provide accurate positioning information. The navigation controller receives the above information to construct an external environment map, realizing the navigation and positioning function of the transformer oil sample collection robot.
[0172] As Figure 16As shown in the figure, the mobile platform control system includes a motion controller, drive motor drivers (i.e., the first drive motor driver, the second drive motor driver, the third drive motor driver, and the fourth drive motor driver), drive motors (i.e., the first drive motor, the second drive motor, the third drive motor, and the fourth drive motor), steering motor drivers (i.e., the first steering motor driver, the second steering motor driver, the third steering motor driver, and the fourth steering motor driver), and steering motors (i.e., the first steering motor, the second steering motor, the third steering motor, and the fourth steering motor);
[0173] The motion controller is connected to the motor drivers, the motor drivers are connected to the drive motors, the motion controller is connected to the steering motor drivers, the steering motor drivers are connected to the steering motors, and the drive motors and the steering motors are respectively used for the linear and steering motion control of the walking wheels in the wheel-leg assembly 301.
[0174] In this implementation, the motion controller receives the movement commands from the navigation controller, controls the oil sampling robot to reach the oil sample collection operation position, and sends control instructions to the motor drivers and the steering motor drivers through the CAN bus. The motor drivers and the steering motor drivers generate corresponding PWM signals according to the commands to control the speed and direction of the motors.
[0175] In this implementation, the oil sample collection and detection control system includes an oil sample collection and detection controller, which is respectively communicatively connected to the telescopic mechanism and the grasping mechanism for telescopic and grasping control, and performs automatic detection through the carried automatic analysis instrument.

[0179] For the specific structure and working method of the automatic flexible docking device, see the introduction in Embodiment 1 and will not be elaborated here.
[0180] Embodiment 3:
[0181] This implementation provides an oil sample collection active rinsing method, including the following process:
[0182] Set the cycle time period. After the waiting time of the oil samples in the upper oil extraction branch, middle oil extraction branch, and lower oil extraction branch exceeds the cycle time period, turn on the circulation pump to circulate the oil in the upper oil extraction branch, middle oil extraction branch, and lower oil extraction branch of the transformer with the oil inside the transformer, so as to obtain qualified oil samples.
[0183] For the connection relationships of the upper oil extraction branch, middle oil extraction branch, lower oil extraction branch, and circulation pump in this implementation manner, refer to the introduction in Embodiment 1, which will not be elaborated here.
[0184] Embodiment 4:
[0185] The current automated oil extraction system lacks a self-check function before operation. The automated oil extraction system needs to operate near the transformer, and its own faults (such as line faults or battery faults, etc.) will pose a greater safety risk to the transformer. In view of this, this implementation manner also provides a method for self-checking faults and remotely assisting in repair of a transformer oil sample collection robot, which respectively performs self-checks on the power management system, the autonomous operation master controller, the robot upper computer control system, the navigation and positioning system, the mobile platform control system, and the oil sample collection and detection control system. The robot upper computer control system sends all self-check results to the cloud server, so that the cloud server generates an auxiliary repair strategy based on all self-check results and sends it to the robot upper computer control system. The robot upper computer control system performs automatic repair according to the received auxiliary repair strategy or sends it to the maintenance personnel.
[0186] In this implementation manner, the self-check of the power management system includes: after the oil extraction robot is powered on, the power indicator light is on, indicating that the power is connected. The power management system inside the oil extraction robot checks the status of the battery pack, including whether the battery power, voltage, and temperature are within the normal range;
[0187] In this implementation manner, the self-check of the autonomous operation master controller includes: after the autonomous operation master controller is powered on, it automatically runs the bootloader. The bootloader checks whether the serial port, network port, and USB port of the operation master controller are working properly. If there are any abnormalities, an error warning is issued. If the check is normal, it starts to check whether there is a new version of the code in the download area that has not been updated. If there is, it first copies the new version of the code from the download area to the APP area, and then starts to boot the application program in the APP area. If there is no new version of the code, it directly starts to boot the application program in the APP area;
[0188] In this implementation method, the self-check of the robot host control system includes: after the host control system is powered on, it first reads the version information of the host software and compares it with the compatible version list stored internally. If there is a new version, an application update is performed. Then, it starts to check the network connection between the host control system and the autonomous operation master controller. If the network connection fails, an error alarm is issued. After the connection is normal, it starts to read the relevant configuration parameters of the autonomous operation master controller and displays them on the screen to verify whether the relevant configuration parameters meet the requirements of the current operation. If they do not meet the requirements, an error alarm is issued to prompt the operator to check and reset them.
[0189] In this implementation method, the self-check of the navigation and positioning system includes: after the navigation and positioning system is powered on, it first checks whether the hardware of the positioning unit, inertial measurement unit, and lidar is normal. If there is an abnormality in the hardware, corresponding error alarms are issued, and at the same time, it is confirmed whether the positioning unit, inertial measurement unit, and lidar have been correctly initialized and are in a working state. Then, it starts the power-on repositioning and positioning accuracy calibration, and evaluates the accuracy of the positioning unit by comparing the difference between the actual position and the expected position. For the inertial measurement unit, zero-offset calibration and gyroscope drift test are performed to determine whether the use accuracy is met. If it is not met, an alarm message is issued.
[0190] In this implementation method, the self-check of the mobile platform control system includes: after the mobile platform control system is powered on, it checks the drive motor driver, drive motor, steering motor driver, and steering motor one by one to confirm normal communication and no fault alarm. If there is an error, corresponding alarms are issued.
[0191] In this implementation method, the self-check of the oil sample collection and detection control system includes: after the oil sample collection and detection control system is powered on, it first resets each syringe on the oil extraction robot. During the reset, the photoelectric detection switch of each syringe drive module is detected. When a signal is output, the reset is stopped, and the numerical value of the encoder of the drive motor of each syringe is read as the zero point of the syringe movement. During the reset process, the output torque of the drive motor of each syringe is continuously detected. When the alarm threshold is reached, the movement of the drive motor of the syringe is immediately stopped, and an alarm message is issued to prompt that the syringe reset is abnormal.
[0192] Embodiment 5:
[0193] In this implementation method, a method for judging the sampling oil level state by fusing a pressure sensor and image recognition is also proposed. By combining the real-time monitoring data of the pressure sensor and image recognition technology, accurate judgment of the oil level state is realized. The specific process includes the following steps:
[0194] (1) The pressure sensor measures the initial oil level value: The pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the oil extraction pipeline assembly to measure the static pressure of the oil in real time P , according to the hydrostatic formula:
[0195] P = ρgh (1);
[0196] Wherein, ρ is the density of the oil fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h is the oil level height. Through this formula, the system preliminarily calculates the oil level height h1 (i.e., the first oil level):
[0197] h1 = P / ρg (2);
[0198] The initial value of the oil level provided by the pressure sensor h1 is used as the first layer of judgment basis.
[0199] (2) Image recognition assisted correction: The oil level image is captured by a depth camera, and an image recognition algorithm based on deep learning is used to detect the oil level; through training, the image recognition model can identify the accurate position of the oil level under different lighting conditions and interference factors, and obtain the oil level height h2 (i.e., the second oil level); image recognition can also detect interference factors such as bubbles and impurities, and determine whether there is interference in the image through feature extraction and a classifier, further enhancing the robustness of the detection.
[0200] (3) Multi-source fusion algorithm: In order to improve the accuracy of oil level judgment, a weighted fusion algorithm is adopted to comprehensively calculate the pressure sensor data h1 and the image recognition data h2 The weighted average formula is as follows:
[0201] h = αh1+(1−α)h2 (3);
[0202] Wherein, α is the fusion weight, which is dynamically adjusted based on the accuracy and confidence of the sensor and image recognition.
[0203] This implementation method deeply fuses physical sensors with visual perception, makes full use of the advantages of both, and reduces the errors brought by a single sensor. For example, in the case of changes in oil fluid density or sensor drift, the visual feedback provided by image recognition can be effectively corrected, and when there is a large amount of image interference, the pressure sensor provides a stable physical measurement value as a supplement.
[0204] Embodiment 6:
[0205] In this implementation method, a key landmark assisted navigation and positioning method is provided, including the following process:
[0206] Before the first operation, it is necessary to construct a map of the operation environment. Click the mapping button in the background system, and the oil extraction robot will confirm the connection status of sensors such as lidar, inertial measurement unit, depth camera, and positioning unit. If no sensor data is received, the system will issue a corresponding prompt to remind the staff to check the hardware connection of the corresponding sensor. If the connection status of all sensors is intact, the system enters the mapping mode; after entering the mapping mode, the operator holds the remote control to control the oil extraction robot to move in the outdoor environment, and uses various sensors to collect environmental information. During this process, the oil extraction robot will continuously update its position and attitude, and at the same time record the feature points of the surrounding environment; after traversing the surrounding environment, click the build map button in the background system, and the background system will generate the current environment map based on the collected environmental information. After the map is successfully generated, it can be manually edited. Generate a virtual wall in the area where passage is prohibited in the substation on the map, and mark the operation position as the target point, so that when the oil extraction robot goes to the target point for operation, the navigation system will automatically shield the restricted area when planning the path, avoiding safety accidents; after the map editing is completed, click the save map button to name the created map, and the map will be saved for use in performing tasks.
[0207] When performing the oil extraction task, select the corresponding map, check the target point, and click task execution. The oil extraction robot will start navigating to the operation point; when the oil extraction robot is navigating, it first confirms its position relationship with the map, and performs self-positioning by rotating around the central position and scanning the surrounding environmental features for matching with the map features. To simplify the matching process and shorten the operation time, the program default sets a preset point as the starting position of the oil extraction robot, and preferentially matches the surrounding environmental features of the current oil extraction robot with the features at this position in the map. If the oil extraction robot starts at this default point, the matching process will be completed instantly; after the self-positioning of the oil extraction robot is completed, combined with the current position information, target position information, and obstacle information between the two positions, an optimal global path plan is generated. The oil extraction robot will move along this path and generate a local path plan based on the real-time path information to adjust the global path plan, so that the oil extraction robot can avoid obstacles and move along the relatively optimal real-time path. The information of the cable trench cover in the map is introduced in the generation process of the global path plan and the local path plan. During the mapping process, the position of the cable trench cover is recognized by vision and the position information is recorded. When generating the global path plan, a weight is added to make the path with a large cable trench cover coverage rate the optimal path, and when generating the local path, the cable trench cover path is selected as the local optimal path, so that the oil extraction robot tries to move along the cable trench cover as much as possible during navigation instead of walking on the outdoor lawn, ensuring the smooth and safe movement of the oil extraction robot to the target position; after reaching the target position, the position of the oil extraction robot is fine-tuned by recognizing the position of the feature marker on the top of the oil extraction pile, so that the oil extraction robot can accurately move to the operation point and ensure the accuracy of the docking of the oil extraction robot.
[0208] Example 7:
[0209] This implementation provides a key landmark assisted navigation and positioning method as follows, which performs key landmark fusion positioning based on image mapping; in autonomous navigation tasks, positioning usually relies on positioning units, odometers or visual SLAM; however, problems such as limited or failed signals of positioning units in complex environments and error accumulation of odometers may lead to inaccurate positioning, especially in the last section of navigating to the target position, where extremely high positioning accuracy is often required. To solve this problem, this implementation proposes a key landmark fusion positioning algorithm based on image mapping, which compares the known landmark information with the real-time image and makes position fine-tuning when navigating to the target position to ensure the accuracy and stability of positioning.
[0210] The present invention compares the image information in the actual environment with the pre-stored key landmark images, and corrects and fine-tunes the current pose through the image mapping algorithm. This technology is particularly suitable for precise positioning when navigating to the target position, can significantly improve the final pose accuracy, and avoid navigation deviation caused by error accumulation of the positioning unit and inertial measurement unit. The specific process is as follows:
[0211] S1: Construction of the key landmark image library.
[0212] S1.1: Landmark selection.
[0213] In the substation scenario, select significant and stable equipment as key landmarks (such as transformers, transmission line towers, iconic equipment components); specifically calibrate the key nodes and target positions (such as oil storage cabinets, oil injection ports beside transformers) of the working path of the oil extraction robot in detail.
[0214] S1.2: Image acquisition and processing.
[0215] Use a high-resolution camera to take pictures of key landmarks from multiple angles to ensure the stability of images under different weather and lighting conditions; after image acquisition, perform geometric correction, denoising processing, and extract feature points such as SIFT and ORB to generate a feature image library of key landmarks; bind the landmark images with their precise positioning unit coordinates and azimuth information and store them as a retrievable database.
[0216] S2: Initial navigation and rough positioning.
[0217] S2.1: Initial navigation method.
[0218] The relative position of the oil extraction robot is initially determined using the positioning unit and the inertial measurement unit, and navigation is carried out according to the predetermined path; the visual odometer (VIO) is used to monitor the movement path of the oil extraction robot in real time, analyze the movement trajectory of the depth camera, and estimate the displacement and attitude of the oil extraction robot relative to the environment.
[0219] S2.2: Navigation path planning.
[0220] The system plans the path based on the target position and the key landmark positions. When the signal of the positioning unit is normal, it relies on the positioning unit to provide the global position information. If the signal of the positioning unit weakens, it switches to VIO-assisted navigation; the movement trajectory of the oil extraction robot is adjusted in real time according to the navigation data to ensure that it is always on the optimal path when approaching the target position.
[0221] S3: Image mapping and landmark comparison.
[0222] S3.1: Landmark retrieval and comparison.
[0223] When the oil extraction robot approaches the target position, the system retrieves the relevant landmark images from the key landmark image library, uses the SIFT algorithm for feature point matching, and retrieves the most matching image in the current environment and the landmark library; during the comparison process, the system quickly matches the real-time image with the image in the library, and combines the rough position information provided by the positioning unit to narrow the retrieval range and speed up the matching speed.
[0224] S3.2: Landmark image mapping.
[0225] The system judges the position and attitude deviation of the oil extraction robot in the current environment according to the image matching result.
[0226] S4: Pose correction and fine-tuning.
[0227] Using the image mapping result, the relative pose of the depth camera relative to the landmark is calculated through the PnP (Perspective-n-Point) algorithm; combined with the known landmark position information, the displacement and attitude of the oil extraction robot relative to the landmark are accurately corrected to ensure the accuracy of the current position.
[0228] S5: Multiple iterations and precise positioning.
[0229] S5.1: Iterative fine-tuning.
[0230] When approaching the target position, the system continuously collects real-time images and performs landmark comparison and position fine-tuning. Each pose correction after image mapping will further narrow the error range; the system sets a fixed acquisition interval of 0.5 s for multiple image comparisons to gradually correct the pose of the oil extraction robot and ensure continuous improvement of the accuracy.
[0231] S5.2: Final precise positioning.
[0232] When the oil extraction robot approaches the target position, the system confirms that the oil extraction robot has accurately reached the target point according to the results of multiple landmark image comparisons and the pose convergence results after multiple comparisons.
[0233] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
