Design of Track Inspection Robot System for 500 kV Converter Station
In response to the operational environment and characteristics of DC converter stations,a combined track-based robot system has been developed for converter stations.The designed orbital inspection robot system comprises combination tracks,a drive system,a visible light system,and an infrared thermal imaging system.By employing visualization detection technology,the robot upgrades the traditional fixed and single-function video cameras to an intelligent platform combining visual and infrared detection.This system enables precise position-ing,video inspection,and temperature monitoring functions of the inspection robot.It effectively monitors the op-erational status and surface temperature distribution of various equipment,as well as temperature rise conditions.By analyzing the internal structure and operational status of different electrical devices and understanding the path-ways of thermal energy transfer,the system can accurately diagnose potential internal or external faults in the equipment.
