[0002] Power distribution is the link in the power system that directly connects to and distributes electrical energy to users. The normal status of power distribution equipment directly affects the quality of electricity for users. Therefore, ensuring the normal operation of power distribution equipment is crucial. Power distribution substations and other distribution sites need to be effectively monitored to ensure that problems are detected and remedial measures are taken as soon as possible. Existing power distribution substations mainly use manual or robotic inspections. However, the inspection area is large and the scope is wide. Manual methods are not only labor-intensive but also prone to missed or incorrect inspections due to subjective factors. Robots are mostly indoor ground-based inspection robots, which are not suitable for inspecting outdoor power distribution equipment. Therefore, we propose an unmanned inspection and monitoring device for power distribution substations. Utility Model Content
