Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent ports, and in particular to a port facility equipment maintenance device and a maintenance method. Background Art
[0002] With the development of China's maritime power and the booming shipping industry, more and more ports and terminals are emerging. However, the maintenance of numerous port equipment has always faced many challenges, including complex port conditions, large sites, high-altitude maintenance, difficulty and high risks, and low efficiency. At the same time, with the development of unmanned terminals and smart port technologies, a powerful maintenance device with a wide range of applications and access to intelligent control has become extremely important.
[0003] In the existing technology, most maintenance machines operate within a fixed range. For example, in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218562082U, since it is mainly used for bridge maintenance, its application scenario is relatively specific and after installation, it only works on a single bridge. In another example, in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN113560840A, since the live-operation locking pin installation robot of the drone system designed therein only works for locking pin installation, it cannot handle emergency work in other live environments. In addition, the existing technology rarely has a large-scale multifunctional maintenance device that conforms to the development of smart terminals. Summary of the Invention
