TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of power system automation and robot technology, and relates to a distribution network non-power-off autonomous working robot and an intelligent working method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the safety and continuity of distribution network operation are directly related to the stability of user power consumption and the normal development of social and economic activities. The traditional distribution network operation generally adopts a power-off operation mode. Although this mode can ensure the safety of the operators to a certain extent, it will directly lead to the interruption of user power consumption, especially causing significant economic losses to industrial production, commercial operation and other scenarios, which has been difficult to meet the demand of "uninterrupted and high reliability" of power supply in modern society. In order to solve the drawbacks of power-off operation, live working has gradually become the mainstream development direction of distribution network operation and maintenance, and its core goal is to complete the maintenance and replacement of equipment and other operation and maintenance tasks under the premise of ensuring the continuous power supply of distribution network. At present, the industry has initially explored the implementation path of manual live working and part of robot-assisted working, and is committed to seeking a balance between operation safety and power supply continuity.
[0003] However, the existing live working technical system still has obvious shortcomings and is difficult to fully adapt to the actual needs of distribution network operation. The current live working mainly relies on manual operation and faces three major problems: first, the safety risk is extremely high. The operators need to be directly exposed to a high-voltage electric field environment, and it is difficult to wear and use the insulation protective equipment. Moreover, affected by factors such as operation space and weather conditions, the risk of accidents caused by accidental touching of live components and electric field interference always exists; second, the work efficiency is low. For complex operation and maintenance tasks, multiple professional personnel often need to cooperate, and complicated safety preparation work needs to be done before operation, which takes a long time. At the same time, the training period of professional personnel is long and the cost is high, which further restricts the expansion of operation scale; third, the intelligent level is insufficient. The existing few live working robots mostly rely on preset programs to execute operations, and the functions are single, which can only adapt to simple tasks in specific scenarios and lack the ability to adapt to different distribution network environments and different equipment models. When encountering changes in operation environment parameters or unexpected situations, manual intervention is often needed, and real autonomous operation cannot be realized. In specific core operation and maintenance scenarios, these problems are more prominent: when live replacing insulators, the operators need to perform high-altitude climbing operation, which not only has high labor intensity, but also is easily disturbed in a strong electric field environment, and the operation precision is difficult to guarantee; the live disconnecting and connecting of drain wires requires high precision of the timing sequence, and manual operation is easily affected by factors such as reaction speed and operation stability, and is prone to electric arc discharge caused by timing deviation, resulting in equipment damage and even safety accidents; when live replacing circuit breakers, the manual carrying and installation process is prone to accidental touching of surrounding live components due to the large size and complex wiring structure of the circuit breaker, which has great safety hazards.
[0004] In summary, the current distribution network live working usually adopts manual operation, and there are high safety risks, low efficiency, high cost, and problems such as insufficient intelligence of existing robots, single function, and poor scene adaptability, which are difficult to achieve the goal of "zero power failure, full autonomy, and high safety" of distribution network operation and maintenance.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0034] As mentioned in the background, the traditional distribution network operation needs to be operated with power off, resulting in interruption of user power and economic loss. The existing live working mainly relies on manual operation, which has the following problems: first, high safety risk: manual operation is vulnerable to high-voltage environment, and it is difficult to protect insulation; second, low work efficiency: complex tasks take a long time, and multiple people are needed to cooperate, with high personnel training cost; third, lack of intelligence: existing robots rely on preset programs and can only perform single tasks, which cannot adapt to multiple scene requirements and lack of environmental adaptive ability. In terms of specific live operation tasks, live replacement of insulators requires operators to climb high in the air, which takes a long time and is easily disturbed by strong electric field; live disconnecting of drain wire requires precise control of disconnecting timing, and manual operation is easy to cause electric arc discharge; live replacement of circuit breakers is large in size and complex in wiring, and manual replacement is easy to touch live parts.
[0035] To solve the above problems, the embodiment provides a distribution network non-power-off autonomous operation robot, that is, a fully autonomous and multifunctional live working robot, which can cover core scenes such as insulator replacement, drain wire disconnecting and circuit breaker replacement, and realize "zero power-off, high precision and full autonomy" of distribution network operation. For example, as shown in Figure 1 The embodiment provides a distribution network non-power-off autonomous operation robot, which includes a double-robot arm cooperative system, a modular tool library, an all-terrain mobile platform, a dynamic insulation protection system, a multi-modal perception system and an intelligent decision-making system; it also includes an emergency escape device, a dynamic safety distance control module, an autonomous return module and an insulation state self-checking unit, and the specific structure is as follows: In this embodiment, the dual-arm cooperative system includes a main arm and a secondary arm. The main arm is a seven-degree-of-freedom structure with a load capacity of ≥20 kg, and is used to grasp electrical equipment, preferably heavy equipment such as circuit breakers. The secondary arm is a six-degree-of-freedom structure with a positioning accuracy of ±0.1 mm, and is used to perform fine operations such as screwing bolts and disconnecting wires.
[0036] In this embodiment, the modular tool library is installed at the end of the mechanical arm and is compatible with tools such as insulated wrenches, laser wire strippers, wire clamps, hydraulic cutters, and electromagnetic suction cups, with a switching time of ≤1 second. An example of a full-terrain mobile platform uses a four-legged-track composite chassis, equipped with electromagnetic suction devices, and carries a visual SLAM navigation module, which can climb poles or walk along wires. It has an internal gyroscope and barometer, dynamically adjusts the center of gravity to respond to strong winds or slopes, and has a maximum climbing angle of 30° and a wind resistance level of ≥7.
[0037] The dynamic insulation protection system includes a silicon rubber composite insulation layer (thickness ≥8 mm) and a chargeable SF6 gas insulation cavity (pressure 0.3-0.5 MPa), and the key joints are nested with double-layer epoxy resin insulation sleeves. It automatically switches the insulation mode according to the voltage level. The multi-modal perception system includes binocular vision cameras, ultraviolet imagers, electric field intensity sensors, high-precision laser range finders, and voiceprint recognition modules, which are used for environmental three-dimensional modeling, discharge detection, and safety distance monitoring. The intelligent decision-making system can deploy a multi-task knowledge graph, including an insulator bolt torque database, a wire phase sequence rule library, and a circuit breaker voiceprint fault feature library. Based on the ROS framework, the task planning algorithm supports full-autonomous intelligent operation methods for live replacement of insulators, live disconnection and connection of wires, and live replacement of circuit breakers.
[0038] The emergency escape device is a powder-driven mechanical arm disconnect device (response time ≤0.2s) that cuts off the physical connection between the mechanical arm and the end tool. The dynamic safety distance control module adjusts the distance between the mechanical arm and the live body based on electric field intensity feedback, with a distance of ≥0.4m in a 10kV environment. The autonomous return module returns to the nearest safe point along the SLAM map when communication is interrupted (path planning frequency ≥10Hz). The insulation state self-checking unit automatically tests the overall insulation resistance of the robot to be ≥500MΩ (test voltage 1000V) before operation.
[0039] The control method of the dynamic insulation protection system includes: 1) Mode switching: When the voltage level is ≤10kV, an air gap insulation is used (the distance between the mechanical arm and the live body is ≥0.4m). When the voltage level > 10kV, the SF6 gas insulation cavity (pressure ≥ 0.3MPa) is activated.
[0040] 2) Real-time correction: dynamically adjust the insulation strategy according to the electric field intensity sensor data (threshold 3kV / cm), if the detection value is out of limit, trigger an alarm and return to the safe area.
[0041] For example, the intelligent decision system of the robot comprises: Multi-task knowledge graph: mapping insulator model and bolt torque, lead line disconnection phase sequence rule; Dynamic path planning algorithm: fusion of A* algorithm and reinforcement learning (reward function = task time × 0.6 + safety distance × 0.4), avoiding live bodies and optimizing the motion trajectory of the robot, obstacle avoidance response frequency ≥ 100Hz; Arc suppression model: through the diversion of the shunt and the cooperative control of the laser ionization, the arc energy is limited to ≤10J; Man-machine cooperative interface: supports remote monitoring and emergency intervention, and the operator can view the real-time operation picture through the AR glasses.
[0042] The man-machine cooperative interface supports: 1) AR remote control mode: the operator obtains the first perspective picture through the head-mounted display, and controls the robot arm with gestures; 2) Automatic mode: the robot completely autonomously executes the preset task; 3) Emergency takeover mode: when the system is abnormal, the operator directly controls the robot arm with a force feedback handle; The automatic mode, remote control mode and emergency takeover mode are seamlessly switched, with a delay < 200ms.
[0043] Based on the above distribution network non-stop autonomous operation robot, the embodiment further provides an intelligent operation method of the distribution network non-stop autonomous operation robot, which comprises specific operation methods of live insulator replacement, live lead line disconnection and connection, and circuit breaker replacement, and the specific implementation is as follows: As shown in Figure 2 The live insulator replacement method comprises the following steps: Step S1: locate the damaged insulator through fusion positioning of binocular vision camera and laser radar, with a coordinate error ≤ 2cm; Step S2: the auxiliary robot arm uses an insulating ratchet wrench (torque setting 20-30N·m) to loosen the locking pin, with a torque control error ±3%; Step S3: the main robot arm transfers the old insulator through an electromagnetic chuck, and moves along an S-shaped obstacle avoidance path (distance from the lead ≥ 0.4m) to the insulator tray; Step S4: When installing a new insulator, the force sensor provides real-time feedback of the axial pressure (180-220 N), ensuring that the bolt fastening meets the GB / T775.3 standard.
[0044] As shown in Figure 3 , the method for charging disconnecting and connecting the current-carrying wire includes the following steps: Step S1: Establish a parallel current-carrying path through a telescopic copper shunt (cross-sectional area ≥120 mm 2 ) to divert ≥90% of the load current (contact resistance ≤50 μΩ); Step S2: The secondary mechanical arm controls the laser wire stripper (pulse frequency 1 kHz) to strip the insulating layer of the wire, with a depth of 0.8±0.1 mm; Step S3: The main mechanical arm holds the hydraulic wire clamp to complete the butt joint of the current-carrying wire, and the ultraviolet imager monitors the discharge pulse frequency <5 times / minute; Step S4: Trigger pulsed laser ionization of air at the moment of disconnection to suppress the operating overvoltage ≤1.5 times the system rated voltage.
[0045] As shown in Figure 4 , the method for charging replacing the circuit breaker includes the following steps: Step S1: The voiceprint sensor collects the circuit breaker opening sound waves, and diagnoses the fault type through a convolutional neural network (CNN) (accuracy ≥95%); Step S2: The dual mechanical arms cooperatively disassemble the M16 bolts (torque 80±5 N·m), the main mechanical arm uses impedance control algorithm to compensate for external disturbances, and the positioning error of the secondary mechanical arm is ≤0.3 mm; Step S3: The electromagnetic chuck (holding force ≥200 N) transfers the old circuit breaker to the insulating tray, and after installing the new device, verifies the phase consistency through the wireless phase comparator (2.4 GHz frequency band), with a deviation ≤1°; Step S4: After replacement, perform self-insulation resistance test (test voltage 2500 V), with an inter-electrode resistance ≥1000 MΩ.

[0049] 2. Insulation barrier activation.
[0050] The electric field intensity sensor detects the electric field intensity in the work area as 2.8kV / cm, triggering the air gap insulation mode, and the mechanical arm automatically maintains a distance ≥0.45m from the live body.
[0051] 3. Bolt disassembly and replacement.
[0052] The secondary mechanical arm (precision ±0.1mm) uses an insulating ratchet wrench (torque set to 25N·m) to loosen the locking pin, with an error control of ±3%.
[0053] The main mechanical arm (load 20kg) absorbs the old insulator through an electromagnetic chuck, and moves it out to the insulation tray along the preset trajectory (S-shaped obstacle avoidance path).
[0054] When installing the new insulator, the force sensor provides real-time feedback on the bolt tightening state, ensuring that the axial pressure is stable within the range of 180-220N.
[0055] After the replacement is completed, the work video is returned to the monitoring center through the 5G module, and an electronic maintenance report is generated.
[0056] The effect verification of this embodiment is: Operation time: 12 minutes and 38 seconds (average manual operation time 45 minutes).
[0057] Safety data: Maximum leakage current during operation <0.1mA (standard limit value 0.5mA according to GB / T16927.1).
[0058] Positioning accuracy: error of insulator hanging point coordinates 1.7cm.
[0059] II. Example 2: Live disconnection of the current-carrying wire.
[0060] Work scenario: 35kV power transmission line, tension pole tower, need to disconnect and replace the C-phase current-carrying wire.
[0061] Implementation steps: 1. Current transfer preparation.
[0062] The robot carries a telescopic copper shunt (cross-sectional area 120mm 2 ) to contact the near end of the current-carrying wire, and confirms the shunt current ≥320A (accounting for 92% of the total load) through the Hall sensor.
[0063] UV imaging instrument continuously monitors the disconnection point, and the discharge pulse frequency is <5 times / minute to start the operation.
[0064] 2. Precise disconnection operation.
[0065] The secondary mechanical arm uses a laser wire stripper (wavelength 1064nm) to strip the wire insulation layer, with a depth control of 0.8±0.1mm and an exposed conductor length of 50mm.
[0066] The main mechanical arm holds the hydraulic clamp installer to complete the butt joint of the new and old drainage lines, with a contact resistance ≤20μΩ (actually measured 18μΩ).
[0067] 3. Arc suppression and verification.
[0068] The pulsed laser ionization guide is started at the moment of wire breakage, with an operating overvoltage peak of 52kV (system rated 35kV, 1.49 times).
[0069] After the disconnection is completed, the infrared thermal imager scans the connection point, with a temperature rise ≤3℃ (environmental temperature 25℃).
[0070] Effect verification of this embodiment: Arc control: visible arc duration 0.8 seconds (manual operation average 4.5 seconds).
[0071] Voltage safety: overvoltage duration <1ms, without triggering line protection action.
[0072] Efficiency improvement: total process time 9 minutes and 12 seconds (manual operation needs 25 minutes).
[0073] III. Example 3: Live replacement of circuit breaker.
[0074] Work scene: 10kV substation, vacuum circuit breaker (model ZN63A) contact ablation replacement Implementation steps: 1. Fault diagnosis and positioning.
[0075] The voiceprint sensor collects the circuit breaker opening sound, which is analyzed by the CNN model (training set contains 2000 groups of fault samples), and identifies the contact ablation fault (confidence 96.3%).
[0076] The laser range finder locates the circuit breaker mounting flange bolt hole, with a coordinate error of ±0.5mm.
[0077] 2. Cooperative disassembly and installation.
[0078] Dual mechanical arm cooperative work: the main mechanical arm fixes the circuit breaker body (impedance control anti-vibration interference), and the secondary mechanical arm disassembles the M16 bolts (8, torque set to 80N·m).
[0079] After the old circuit breaker is removed, a wireless phase detector (2.4 GHz frequency band) is installed at the end of the mechanical arm to verify the phase deviation of the new circuit breaker, which is 0.7° (the national standard allows ≤5°).
[0080] 3. Insulation recovery detection.
[0081] After replacement, the robot self-checks the insulation resistance (2500V megohm meter equivalent test), and the inter-pole resistance is ≥1000MΩ (standard ≥500MΩ).
[0082] The effect verification of the embodiment is as follows: Collaborative accuracy: bolt disassembly concentricity error ≤0.3mm.
[0083] Phase efficiency: phase verification time is 23 seconds (manual operation average 5 minutes).
[0084] Insulation performance: after replacement, the partial discharge amount is 8pC (the standard limit value of GB / T7354 is 10pC).
[0085] In summary, the application provides a distribution network autonomous working robot and an intelligent working method thereof, which has the following advantages compared with the existing power distribution operation mode: 1. Full working condition autonomy: combining environment perception, task planning and precise control to reduce manual intervention; 2. Multi-sensor collaboration: improving fault identification reliability through the fusion of vision, force sensation and partial discharge data; 3. Multi-task collaboration capability: through double mechanical arm division of labor and cooperation and tool quick change system, compatible with the differentiated operation needs of insulators, drain wires, circuit breakers and the like; 4. Man-machine co-fusion interaction: supporting remote virtual reality control and seamless switching between local autonomous mode; 5. Electromagnetic environment self-adaptation: combining electric field strength perception and dynamic insulation regulation to solve the problem of robot control stability under high electromagnetic interference, and the robot can automatically switch the insulation mode according to the voltage level; 6. Knowledge-driven decision making: based on the standard operation process of power equipment, an expert system is constructed to ensure operation compliance.
[0086] The application can be applied to urban distribution networks, substations, new energy stations and other scenes, and can perform live defect elimination, equipment installation, tree barrier cleaning and other tasks, significantly improving power supply reliability and operation economy.
[0087] The above embodiment is only one of the implementation manners of the technical scheme of the application, and the scope of protection claimed by the application is not limited to the above embodiment, but also includes any changes, substitutions and other implementation manners easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the application.
