Design of Substation Inspection Robot Based on STM32
A substation inspection robot based on STM32 chip is designed to address the current situation of unmanned or few people on duty in substations,as well as the limitations of manual inspection due to factors such as work experience,psychological quality,and technical level.This robot has two modes:automatic inspection and manual remote control inspection.It can monitor the operating temperature of the substation,record equipment meters,identify position status,and monitor SF6 gas.It can also alarm in time when abnormalities are detected.The system hardware design scheme and software design process of the inspection robot system are elaborate in details,as well as the imple-mentation scheme of each functional module.A prototype inspection robot was made in the laboratory and experimental tests.The test results show that the inspection robot can perform daily inspections and fault alarms on the main electrical equipment of the substation in an automatic or manual remote control manner.It not only has the high inspection accuracy and the good effect,but also effectively reduces the workload of the staff and improves work efficiency.
