Due to the special location and environment, some hydraulic steel gates are not suitable for dismantling and lifting, and cannot be transported to the anti-corrosion workshop for anti-corrosion work. Therefore, anti-corrosion work can only be carried out on site at the hydropower station.

[0030] For further information, see Figure 3 The swing operation servo drive module drives the swing rod 5 through a servo motor, the high-pressure water cleaning device and / or the spraying device are installed on the swing rod 5, and the swing rod 5 swings in a fan shape.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sensor module 3 is installed on the robot and connected to the main control platform 1 via a first signal board.

[0033] The sensor module 3 includes: Distance sensor, used to measure the distance between the robot and the working surface; Posture sensor, used to measure the posture changes of the robot; A visual inspection device is used to collect images of a working area and extract the position of a reference laser line in the image; wherein the visual inspection device includes an industrial camera.

[0034] Furthermore, the sensor module 3 also includes: Status indicator light, used to indicate the current operating status of the robot; Weight sensor, used to measure the weight carried by the robot to ensure safe operation; Safety edge sensors to detect when the robot touches a boundary or obstacle to avoid collision or damage; A pressure sensor, mounted on the high-pressure water cleaning device or the spraying device, for monitoring the working pressure of the high-pressure water cleaning device or the spraying device; A control switch is used to control the start and stop of the working tool.

[0035] In this embodiment, the sensor module 3 optimizes the operating efficiency and accuracy of the robot in complex environments through real-time data collection, processing and feedback, while ensuring safety and reliability during the operation.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2 The operation module 4 is connected to the main control platform 1 via a second signal board. The operation module 4 also includes: A welding power source, connected to the welding device, for providing electrical energy for laser welding operations; Nondestructive testing equipment, used for nondestructive testing of materials and structures; The smoke and dust recovery device is used to collect the smoke and waste generated during the operation of the robot.

[0037] In this embodiment, the robot is further integrated with a non-destructive testing device, which ensures the cleanliness, repair and durability of the surface of the steel gate through cleaning, positioning, repairing, testing, processing and coating, thereby extending the service life of the steel gate.

[0038] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the robot spraying operation provided by the present invention. In an embodiment of the present invention, the spraying operation process of the robot control system is described: First, a reference laser line is drawn in the working area on the surface of the steel gate by a laser to calibrate the working position on the surface of the steel gate; wherein the reference laser line is located in the middle position of the field of view of the visual detection device in the sensor module 3; the laser is located outside the robot, and the movement of the robot will not affect the laser, thereby making the reference laser line relatively fixed.

[0039] Then, the robot's operation module 4 is started, and the robot begins to perform the operation task. For example, when performing a spraying operation, the spraying device is installed on the swing rod 5, and the swing rod 5 swings left and right, while the robot moves along the reference laser line, thereby achieving spraying in the operation area. Figure 4 The spraying area shown.

[0040] During the operation, the robot moves forward or backward along the reference laser line. Figure 4 As shown, the spraying operation is carried out in a backward manner to prevent the wheels from damaging the sprayed paint surface.

[0041] The visual inspection device starts to collect images and uses a visual algorithm to extract the position information of the laser line in the image. The main control platform 1 controls the chassis servo drive system 2 to drive the robot to move along the reference laser line.

[0042] While the robot is performing its tasks, the visual inspection device continuously monitors the position of the reference laser line in the camera's field of view.

[0043] If it is detected that the reference laser line deviates from the middle position of the camera field of view, it is determined that the position of the robot has shifted.

[0044] When the visual inspection device detects that the robot position is offset, the built-in position controller calculates the compensation value and sends it to the main control platform. The compensation value is the distance the robot needs to move or the angle it needs to adjust. The main control platform controls the chassis servo drive system to drive the robot back to the reference laser line position.

[0045] Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the position controller provided by the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the data collected by the attitude sensor and the odometer are applied to the position control of the robot to provide information about the current attitude and position of the robot. This information can be used to control the attitude and position, among which the commonly used control methods include proportional control, integral control and derivative control, referred to as PID control. In this embodiment, the attitude sensor and the odometer are used as input information for compensation. When the reference laser line is blocked and the control system loses the positioning reference, they are used as a short-term motion reference. Since the attitude sensor and the odometer have a time-accumulated error, they can only be used within the time range set by the system. Once the time threshold is exceeded and the reference laser line is still blocked, the system alarms and suspends the operation until the blockage of the reference laser line is removed.

[0046] Embodiment 2: See also Figure 6 , an operation method of a robot control system for steel gate anti-corrosion operation, used for steel gate anti-corrosion operation, the operation method comprising: S1. Use a laser to draw a reference laser line in the working area on the surface of the steel gate to calibrate the working position on the surface of the steel gate; wherein the reference laser line is located in the middle of the field of view of the visual detection device in the sensor module; S2, start the robot's operating module by controlling the switch, and the robot starts to perform the operating task; S3, the visual inspection device starts to collect images and uses a visual algorithm to extract the position information of the laser line in the image. The main control platform controls the chassis servo drive system to drive the robot to move along the reference laser line.

[0047] Specifically, in S3, while the robot is performing its task, the visual detection device continuously monitors the position of the reference laser line in the camera's field of view. If it is detected that the reference laser line has deviated from the middle position of the camera's field of view, it is determined that the robot's position has shifted. When the visual detection device detects that the robot's position is offset, a compensation value is calculated by a built-in position controller, and the compensation value is the distance the robot needs to move or the angle it needs to adjust. The visual detection device sends the compensation value to the main control platform, and the main control platform 1 generates a control signal based on the compensation value and sends it to the chassis servo drive system, and the chassis servo drive system controls the robot to return to the reference laser line position.

[0048] In this embodiment, the robot's operating tasks include high-pressure water cleaning, laser cleaning and texturing, welding, grinding, non-destructive testing, and spraying. The robot's operating process includes but is not limited to the following: high-pressure water cleaning → laser cleaning and texturing → welding → grinding → non-destructive testing → spraying.

[0049] The present invention introduces advanced robot control systems, multifunctional operating tools and comprehensive sensor devices, which effectively solves the problems of low intelligence and single function of traditional hydraulic steel gate anti-corrosion equipment, and provides a comprehensive and efficient solution for on-site anti-corrosion operations.

[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
