Abstract

[0002] When working with live-line robots, the potential transfer arcs created when the robot enters and exits the equipotential zone generate dramatic electromagnetic fluctuations, severely challenging the robot's normal operation. Live-line robots are compact, highly integrated, and feature high-frequency internal chips with complex timing sequences, making them susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Energy-wise, the live-line robot's target recognition, control, and communication modules are all susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

Circuitry-wise, the robot contains sensitive analog signals, including image data, control signals, and high-precision bias voltages.

These embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete disclosure of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. The terminology used in the exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the present invention. In the accompanying drawings, identical elements are denoted by the same reference numerals.
[0056] Unless otherwise specified, the terms used herein (including technical terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art. In addition, it is understood that terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be understood to have the same meanings as those in the context of the relevant fields, and should not be understood as idealized or overly formal meanings.
[0057] Example 1:
[0058] The present invention proposes a method for calculating the cable induced voltage of arc discharge of live working robots, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0059] Step 1: Determine the arc discharge disturbance source during the live working robot's entry / exit of the equipotential state;
[0060] Step 2: establishing a three-dimensional model of the live working robot;
[0061] Step 3: Based on the three-dimensional model and the cable model, under the interference of the arc discharge disturbance source, solve the cable induced voltage of the arc discharge of the live working robot.
[0062] Among them, the arc discharge disturbance source is the radiation field source;
[0063] When the live working robot enters / exits the equipotential state, the maximum value of the spatial electric field is taken as the radiation field source.
[0064] The three-dimensional model includes a cable model;
[0065] The line model establishes cable paths and cable connections.
[0066] Among them, the cable induced voltage of the arc discharge of the live working robot is solved based on FDTD (finite difference time domain method) and TLM (transmission line matrix method), including:
[0067] The electromagnetic field of the cable is solved by iteratively solving the discrete Maxwell equations. The electric field and magnetic field in the electromagnetic field are updated alternately, satisfying the following formula:
[0068]
[0069] Among them, E and H are field quantities, is the curl of vector E, μ is the magnetic permeability, t is the time, and J is the current density.
[0070] FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method) and TLM (Transmission Line Matrix Method) are two electromagnetic field algorithms. This technology combines these two algorithms. TLM (slender mesh) is suitable for cables, and FDTD is suitable for spatial field calculations. (If the mesh is divided according to the cable size, there will be too many target meshes outside the cable, so it is better to divide the mesh separately.) , giving full play to the advantages of each algorithm.
[0071] Based on TLM, the electromagnetic field is converted into voltage and current in the transmission line network, and field-circuit coupling is performed on the voltage and current to obtain the cable induced voltage of the arc discharge of the live working robot.
[0072] Among them, the field quantity coupling satisfies the following formula:
[0073] Voltage and Electric Field:
[0074] V=∫E·dI≈E·Δl
[0075] Current and Magnetic Field:
[0076] I=∮H·dI≈H·Δl
[0077] Among them, E and H are field quantities, V and I are path quantities, and Δl is the length change.
[0078] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific cases:
[0079] The specific case process is as follows:
[0080] (1) Simplification of arc discharge disturbance source:
[0081] X-ray detection of arcs during the entry / exit of live working robots into / out of equipotential Figure 2 The discharge characteristics are relatively complex. In order to facilitate the evaluation of the anti-interference performance of the live working robot, the spatial field of the arc discharge is measured multiple times, and the maximum value of the spatial electric field is taken as the radiation field source. For the live working robot for 500kV line flaw detection, the electric field is a Gaussian pulse source of 30kV / m.
[0082] (2) Analysis of electromagnetic sensitive components of live working robots:
[0083] Live working robots are mainly composed of processors, motor control, end-tool control and other subsystems. Electromagnetic radiation interference is an important source of harm that affects the stable operation of live working robots. According to the structural characteristics of live working robots, there are two main weak links, such as Figure 3 As shown, one is that the arc discharge space field enters the interior of the live working robot through the cable, and the other is that the arc discharge space field may enter the interior of the live working robot through the pores of the live working robot.
[0084] (3) Model establishment:
[0085] Build a 3D model of a live-working robot containing sensitive internal components or equipment. The housings of key internal components are made of aluminum, and the connectors are made of polyethylene (PE). When the thickness of the aluminum chassis is significantly greater than the skin depth, the calculation can be performed as a perfect electrical conductor (PEC). This approach yields nearly identical results while significantly reducing computation time.
[0086] Establish the main cable model, establish the line path and connection. The main cables are power lines, coaxial cables, high-voltage lines and differential lines (RJ45 and LVDS). The models are shown in 4 (a)-4 (d) and the connections are shown in Figure 5 shown.
[0087] (4) Calculation method:
[0088] Set the chassis boundary to an open domain, meaning that electromagnetic waves reflected from the chassis do not return. Calculate using the FDTD and TLM methods. Calculate the amplitude at 30 kV / m, simplify the calculation to a plane wave, and use a Gaussian pulse waveform.
[0089] FDTD discretizes space and time and then iteratively solves Maxwell's equations. TLM, on the other hand, is based on an equivalent model of transmission lines, transforming electromagnetic field problems into voltage and current problems within a transmission line network. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so combining them may be more efficient for dealing with electromagnetic field problems involving complex circuit structures. Field-circuit coupling problems typically involve the interaction between electromagnetic fields and circuit elements, such as spatial fields and cables, or transmission lines on PCBs and integrated circuits. When using FDTD alone to address such problems, it may be necessary to represent the circuit portion using a lumped element model and introduce the corresponding current or voltage sources into the FDTD mesh. The TLM method itself is more suitable for handling transmission line structures and may be easier to integrate with circuit models. Therefore, combining FDTD and TLM may be more effective in dealing with situations involving both complex electromagnetic field distributions and circuit elements.
[0090] First, the FDTD principle is used: the electromagnetic field is solved iteratively by discrete Maxwell equations. The electric field (E) and magnetic field (H) are updated alternately to satisfy:
[0091]
[0092] Then, using the TLM principle, the electromagnetic field problem is transformed into a voltage (V) and current (I) wave propagation problem in a transmission line network. The scattering matrix describes the wave reflection and transmission between nodes.
[0093] Finally, field-circuit coupling is performed: at the interface, the field quantities (E, H) and the circuit quantities (V, I) must satisfy physical continuity, and the conversion relationship is:
[0094] Voltage and Electric Field:
[0095] V=∫E·dI≈E·Δl (2)
[0096] Current and Magnetic Field:
[0097] I=∮H·dI≈H·Δl (3)
[0098] Through multiple iterations, the induced voltage on the cable is obtained. The induced voltage is as follows: Figure 6 (a)-6(c) shown.

[0103] The solving unit 203 is configured to solve the cable induced voltage caused by arc discharge of the live working robot under the interference of the arc discharge disturbance source based on the three-dimensional model and the cable model.
[0104] Among them, the arc discharge disturbance source is the radiation field source;
[0105] When the live working robot enters / exits the equipotential state, the maximum value of the spatial electric field is taken as the radiation field source.
[0106] The three-dimensional model includes a cable model;
[0107] The line model establishes cable paths and cable connections.
[0108] Among them, the cable induced voltage of the arc discharge of the live working robot is solved based on FDTD (finite difference time domain method) and TLM (transmission line matrix method), including:
[0109] The electromagnetic field of the cable is solved by iteratively solving the discrete Maxwell equations. The electric field and magnetic field in the electromagnetic field are updated alternately, satisfying the following formula:
[0110]
[0111] Among them, E and H are field quantities, is the curl of vector E, μ is the magnetic permeability, t is the time, and J is the current density.
[0112] Based on TLM, the electromagnetic field is converted into voltage and current in the transmission line network, and field-circuit coupling is performed on the voltage and current to obtain the cable induced voltage of the arc discharge of the live working robot.
[0113] Among them, the field quantity coupling satisfies the following formula:
[0114] Voltage and Electric Field:
[0115] V=∫E·dt≈E·Δl
[0116] Current and Magnetic Field:
[0117] I=∮H·dI≈H·Δl
[0118] Among them, E and H are field quantities, V and I are path quantities, and Δl is the length change.
[0119] The present invention can effectively improve the accuracy of the prediction of the induced voltage and electromagnetic interference on the cable during arc discharge of the live working robot, thereby providing accurate data for the electromagnetic compatibility design and effective protection of the live working robot.
