Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robot technology, and more specifically, to a balance control method for a soft waist platform of an electric power inspection robot. Background Art

[0002] Power inspection robots are often used in substations. When inspecting narrow indoor aisles, they can use video imaging equipment installed on the soft waist platform to inspect ground cabinets and other screen cabinets. Due to the complex indoor environment of the substation, when the cables of various electrical equipment are crossed and gathered on the indoor floor, and the power inspection robot touches the cables, it will cause the power inspection robot to shake and become unbalanced, which will cause fluctuations in the video image data. Therefore, it is necessary to balance the soft waist platform to ensure that the power inspection robot remains balanced, thereby providing stability for the power inspection robot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the balance control method of the soft waist platform of the power inspection robot described in this embodiment is applied to the balance controller, including: S1: Obtain comprehensive balance parameters of the power inspection robot, and calculate the inspection balance index based on the comprehensive balance parameters; The comprehensive balance parameter refers to the data that can represent the change of the balance posture of the power inspection robot due to the influence of external obstacles during the inspection of power equipment. By obtaining the comprehensive balance parameter, it can provide a data basis for the calculation of the subsequent inspection balance index, so as to accurately balance the soft waist platform of the power inspection robot; Comprehensive balance parameters include height difference, platform inclination, vibration climbing value and pressure stability; The height difference value refers to the height difference between the left and right sides of the soft waist platform of the power inspection robot during the power inspection process. When the power inspection robot touches a raised obstacle or a sunken terrain during the power inspection process, the impact force during the touch process will cause the power inspection robot to become unbalanced, making the heights of the left and right sides of the soft waist platform inconsistent. The larger the height difference value, the larger the height difference between the left and right sides of the soft waist platform, the worse the balance state of the power inspection robot, and the larger the inspection balance index; Methods for obtaining the height difference value include: The distances between the left side and the right side of the top of the soft waist platform and the inspection ground are measured by a laser sensor to obtain a first height value and a second height value; The height difference value is obtained by taking the absolute value of the difference between the first height value and the second height value; The expression of the height difference is: ; In the formula, is the height difference value, is the first height value, The second height value.

[0019] The platform inclination refers to the inclination of the soft waist platform of the power inspection robot relative to the horizontal plane during the power inspection process. When the power inspection robot touches a raised obstacle or a sunken terrain during the power inspection process, the level of the soft waist platform will change. The greater the platform inclination, the greater the inclination of the soft waist platform relative to the horizontal plane, the worse the balance state of the power inspection robot, and the greater the inspection balance index; Methods for obtaining the platform inclination include: Measure the height difference of the soft waist platform at time T1, which is recorded as the first difference; Check the length of the software waist platform from the technical parameter table and record it as the platform length value; After comparing the first difference value with the platform length value, a first inclination is generated; The expression of the first inclination is: ; In the formula, is the first inclination, is the first difference, is the platform length value; The height difference of the soft waist platform at time T2 is measured and recorded as the second difference; time T2 is the next time of time T1, and the time between time T2 and time T1 is long enough for the height difference of the soft waist platform to change, so as to ensure that the height difference values ​​collected at time T2 and time T1 are different; After comparing the second difference with the platform length value, a second inclination is generated; The expression of the second inclination is: ; In the formula, is the second inclination, is the second difference; The first inclination and the second inclination are added and averaged to obtain the platform inclination; The expression of platform inclination is: ; In the formula, is the platform inclination.

[0020] The vibration climbing value refers to the increase in the vibration frequency of the power inspection robot per unit time from the moment when the real-time vibration amplitude of the power inspection robot exceeds the standard vibration amplitude to the detection moment. When the power inspection robot touches a raised obstacle or a sunken terrain during the power inspection process, the vibration frequency of the power inspection robot will change. The larger the vibration climbing value, the greater the increase in the vibration frequency of the power inspection robot, the worse the balance state of the power inspection robot, and the greater the inspection balance index; Methods for obtaining vibration rise values ​​include: The vibration sensor is used to detect the vibration amplitude of the power inspection robot in real time to obtain the real-time amplitude value; The moment when the real-time amplitude value reaches the standard amplitude value for the first time is recorded as the starting moment, and the period from the starting moment to the current moment is recorded as the vibration period; the standard amplitude value refers to the minimum vibration amplitude that can negatively affect the balance state of the power inspection robot, so that the size of the vibration amplitude corresponding to the vibration frequency can be limited, avoiding the burden brought by the collection of a large amount of low-amplitude vibration data and reducing the subsequent calculation amount; the standard amplitude value is obtained by collecting a large number of historical minimum vibration amplitudes that can negatively affect the balance state of the power inspection robot and calculating their average value; The corresponding moments when the real-time amplitude value is greater than the standard amplitude value during the vibration period are counted sequentially to obtain a vibration moment; Measure the interval duration between two adjacent vibration moments one by one, and record the minimum value of the interval duration as the standard interval value; The duration corresponding to one third of the standard interval value is the vibration unit duration. Taking the vibration moment as the base point, we extend forward and backward by one vibration unit time, and obtain The starting time and end time; by setting the vibration unit duration, you can extend the vibration time forward and backward for a certain time, so as to expand the time when the real-time amplitude value is greater than the standard amplitude value, and give the adjacent time period when the real-time amplitude value is greater than the standard amplitude value, so as to improve the effectiveness of the vibration frequency collection time; The first From the start time to the The period between the end times is recorded as a sub-period, and the sub-period; Count the software waist platform in sequence The number of vibrations in a sub-period and The vibration times in each sub-period are compared with the duration of the sub-period in turn to obtain Vibration frequency; The expression of vibration frequency is: ; In the formula, For the The vibration frequency, For the The number of vibrations in a sub-period, is the duration corresponding to the sub-period; The first The vibration frequency and After subtracting the vibration frequencies, we get The climbing value of the child; The expression of the sub-climb value is: ; In the formula, For the The climbing value of the child, For the Vibration frequency; After removing the maximum and minimum values ​​of the sub-climb value, the remaining The individual climbing values ​​are accumulated and averaged to obtain the vibration climbing value; The expression of vibration rise value is: ; In the formula, is the vibration rise value, For the The value of climbing.

[0021] Pressure stability refers to the stability of the power inspection robot when it is subjected to impact force during the power inspection process. When the power inspection robot touches a raised obstacle or a sunken terrain during the power inspection process, the impact force on the power inspection robot varies in size. The greater the pressure stability, the more stable the power inspection robot is when it is subjected to impact force, the better the balance state of the power inspection robot, and the smaller the inspection balance index. Methods for obtaining pressure stability include: The impact force received by the power inspection robot during the vibration period is detected in real time by the pressure sensor, recorded as the real-time pressure value, and the number of the real-time pressure values ​​is counted; The real-time pressure value that is less than the safety pressure value is recorded as the effective pressure value, and k effective pressure values ​​are obtained; the safety pressure value refers to the minimum pressure value that can have a negative impact on the balance state of the power inspection robot, which can effectively distinguish the size of the real-time pressure value; the safety pressure value is obtained by collecting a large number of historical minimum pressure values ​​that can have a negative impact on the balance state of the power inspection robot and calculating their average value; According to the chronological order, k valid pressure values ​​are sorted in sequence, and the detection moments corresponding to the k valid pressure values ​​are marked to obtain k detection moments; The two valid pressure values ​​corresponding to the time length between two adjacent detection moments that is less than the preset impact period are recorded as target pressure values, and the number of target pressure values ​​is counted; the preset impact period refers to the minimum interval time length between two adjacent target pressure values, which can accurately limit the span time length of the target pressure value appearance time and obtain a sufficient number of target pressure values; Compare the number of target pressure values ​​with the number of real-time pressure values ​​to obtain pressure stability; The expression of pressure stability is: : In the formula, is the pressure stability, is the number of target pressure values, is the number of real-time pressure values.

[0022] The inspection balance index is used to numerically represent the balance state of the power inspection robot, which can quantitatively represent the specific balance value of the power inspection robot and serve as the numerical basis for subsequent balance control analysis and processing of the software waist platform; The expression of the inspection balance index is: ; In the formula, is the inspection balance index, , , , is the weight coefficient, and , , , All are greater than 0; in, , exemplary, is 0.32, is 0.22, is 0.26, is 0.20.

[0023] S2: Compare the inspection balance index with the preset inspection balance threshold, generate a balance difference, and determine whether to issue a balance warning prompt; After the inspection balance index is obtained, the balance state of the power inspection robot can be specifically expressed in numerical form, and the balance state of the power inspection robot can be judged according to the size of the inspection balance index to determine whether there is any abnormality in the balance state of the power inspection robot. When there is an abnormality in the balance state, a balance warning prompt can be issued in time, thereby achieving the effect of imbalance warning of the power inspection robot. The methods for determining whether to issue a balance warning prompt include: The inspection balance index is subtracted from the preset inspection balance threshold to obtain the balance difference; the preset inspection balance threshold refers to the maximum value of the inspection balance index of the power inspection robot without issuing a balance warning prompt, which can distinguish the balance state of the power inspection robot, thereby judging the size of the inspection balance index; the preset inspection balance threshold is obtained by collecting a large number of historical maximum values ​​of the inspection balance index without issuing a balance warning prompt, and then calculating the average value; The expression of the balance difference is: ; In the formula, is the balance difference, It is the preset inspection balance threshold; when When it is less than or equal to 0, it means that the inspection balance index is less than or equal to the preset inspection balance threshold. At this time, the inspection balance index does not exceed the corresponding maximum value under the condition that no balance warning prompt is issued, and it is determined that no balance warning prompt is issued; when When it is greater than 0, it means that the inspection balance index is greater than the preset inspection balance threshold. At this time, the inspection balance index exceeds the corresponding maximum value without issuing a balance warning prompt, and it is determined to issue a balance warning prompt.

[0024] S3: Based on the balance difference, the balance risk level is divided and balance control instructions are formulated; When it is determined that a balance warning prompt is issued, the balance difference at this time is greater than 0, and the danger level corresponding to the current balance state of the power inspection robot needs to be indicated according to the specific size of the balance difference, and the balance danger level can specifically indicate the danger level corresponding to the current balance state of the power inspection robot; The balance danger level includes a medium danger level and a high danger level; the medium danger level corresponds to a current balance state of the power inspection robot having a medium danger, and the high danger level corresponds to a current balance state of the power inspection robot having a high danger; The classification methods for medium and high risk levels include: Balance the difference Balance difference threshold Comparison; The preset balance difference threshold refers to the critical value of the balance difference corresponding to the medium danger level and the high danger level when the power inspection robot is issued, so as to distinguish the size of the balance difference to achieve the effect of distinguishing different danger levels; The preset balance difference threshold is obtained by collecting a large number of critical values ​​of the balance difference corresponding to the medium danger level and the high danger level in history, and then calculating the average value; when Less than or equal to When , it indicates that the current balance state of the power inspection robot is of medium risk. At this time, the imbalance degree of the power inspection robot is medium, and it is classified as medium risk level; when Greater than It indicates that the current balance state of the electric power inspection robot is highly dangerous. At this time, the imbalance degree of the electric power inspection robot is serious and it is classified as a high-risk level.

[0025] After the balance danger level is generated, it is necessary to formulate corresponding balance control instructions for different danger levels of the power inspection robot, so that when the balance state of the power inspection robot changes to different degrees of danger, the balance control response measures can be given according to the degree of danger change of the actual balance state, so as to serve as the subsequent power inspection robot's instructions for balance control of the soft waist platform, ensuring that the soft waist platform can perform reasonable balance control, preventing the power inspection robot from shaking and losing balance during the inspection operation, and improving the stability of the power inspection; The balance control instructions include an instruction to control the height increase or decrease of one side of the software waist platform and an instruction to control the height increase or decrease of both sides of the software waist platform; The method for formulating the command for raising or lowering the height of one side of the control software waist platform and the command for raising or lowering the height of both sides of the control software waist platform includes: When the balance danger level is a medium danger level, the balance control measures corresponding to the soft waist platform are relatively simple, and an instruction to control the height increase or decrease of one side of the soft waist platform is formulated; When the balance danger level is a high danger level, the balance control measures corresponding to the soft waist platform are relatively complex, and instructions for controlling the height increase or decrease of both sides of the soft waist platform are formulated.
