The staff needs to perform a large number of repetitive tasks including equipment temperature measurement, instrument transcription, defect tracking and data entry. This traditional method has significant problems: the inspection efficiency is low, it is difficult to meet the high frequency demand; artificial records are prone to missed inspection and misinspection, the data accuracy is difficult to guarantee; the collection and analysis of inspection data have serious lag, it is difficult to provide timely and effective decision support for real-time perception of equipment state, abnormal warning and accident prevention, which restricts the improvement of intelligent operation and maintenance level of substation.

[0003] In the prior art, there are track-type inspection robots to try to replace part of the artificial work, such as combined track-type indoor substation inspection robots. Such robots usually move along a preset track and collect data of exposed equipment on the path through fixed sensors. However, its core limitation is that the function is single: the robot body lacks active operation ability and cannot open the door of the equipment cabinet, which leads to the inability to directly and effectively monitor the running parameters, temperature and image information of the key instruments and meters (such as protection devices, indicating instruments, terminal state, etc.) in the cabinet. This makes the existing track inspection method have a monitoring blind area and cannot realize comprehensive and unmanned intelligent inspection of substation equipment (especially the equipment in the cabinet), and its application effect and automation degree still need to be greatly improved.
