Maintenance personnel can search and view Excel reports on the platform based on time, inspection task, and task type. They can also search, view, and export various Excel reports as needed, including inspection task Excel reports, data Excel reports, alarm record Excel reports, and environmental information Excel reports.

8. The intelligent inspection system for photovoltaic power plants based on a physical model according to claim 2, characterized in that: The intelligent alarm module ensures that during the inspection process, the intelligent inspection robot can automatically alarm on abnormal data collected by the drone and intelligent inspection robot system in the complex scene of the photovoltaic power station within the intelligent inspection integrated control platform. This alarm is achieved through data collection and analysis, threshold comparison, trend analysis, and database-related technologies. The alarm information is presented through pop-up alarms in the auxiliary software interface, database alarm records, and buzzer alarms, promptly reminding maintenance personnel to pay attention.

9. The intelligent inspection system for photovoltaic power plants based on a physical model according to claim 2, characterized in that: The real-time map module can display map information of the intelligent inspection robot during its inspection tasks, including four elements: map path, RFID location, inspection point location, and real-time location. Staff can view the map at any time in the intelligent inspection integrated control platform and its auxiliary software. The displayed map supports manual zooming, dragging and moving, and full-screen display.

10. The intelligent inspection system for photovoltaic power plants based on a physical model according to claim 2, characterized in that: The robot self-inspection module is designed so that the intelligent inspection robot will perform a self-inspection before starting the inspection. The self-inspection includes the infrared thermal imager, high-definition camera, motor, gimbal, internal storage, and various sensors. When an abnormality is found in a component, an abnormal status indication is given and uploaded to the complex scene drone and intelligent inspection robot system of the photovoltaic power station. Staff can quickly perform inspection and judgment through the background, which makes it convenient for maintenance personnel to find faults in time, reduce processing time, and improve the efficiency of troubleshooting.
