Background
The total length of the tunnel pipe network of the present transformer substation is increased day by day. Therefore, the stable operation of the tunnel cable is directly related to the safety and the reliability of the transformer substation.
In a tunnel with a relatively complex environment, the cable runs for a long time, the problems of aging, strand breakage, abrasion, corrosion or bite of small animals and the like often occur, and in addition, the tunnel environment is severe, flammable and toxic gases are deposited all the year round, if measures are not taken in time, fire and explosion accidents are likely to happen, and the loss is heavy. Therefore, the cable in the tunnel must be regularly checked and maintained, the running condition and the surrounding environment of the cable can be known at any time, the hidden danger can be found and eliminated in time, and the power supply safety can be ensured. Because the traditional manual inspection method is low in efficiency and has many unsafe factors, the tunnel cable is patrolled and examined by the mobile tracked robot carrying the infrared equipment, so that the safe transmission of electric energy is guaranteed and the construction of the intelligent power grid is promoted.
In the underground cable trench of the transformer substation, the accident that the cable line is overheated and inflammable gas in the tunnel is ignited often occurs. At the root, there are two main categories of causes-self and external. The reasons for this are: aging, strand breakage and abrasion of the cable line caused by long-term operation; the external causes are: bite of small animals, erosion of gases, and the like. For the line problem, manual work such as repair, update and the like is usually required. A large amount of manpower and material resources are consumed each time, and the body of a maintenance worker is easily damaged. Therefore, the requirement on the monitoring strength of the cable trench is increased day by day, however, similar to the problem of repair, monitoring personnel also need to face the problems of high temperature, toxic gas, narrow and small space occlusion and the like, great obstacles are caused to the implementation of monitoring work, and the personal safety of the staff also has great hidden dangers.
At present, the routing inspection work of a cable trench of a transformer substation generally moves at least 4 people to drill the trench, a large pile of tools such as an infrared thermometer, a toxic gas detector, a flashlight and a camera must be carried in the trench, the highest temperature in summer can reach more than fifty degrees, and the inspection device is a great test for physical strength and endurance of workers. Once the cable trench has an emergency, such as fire, smoke or power failure due to unknown reasons, the worker must wear the cable trench completely, and the cable trench is detected immediately, so that the cable trench has great danger and is very easy to cause personal injury. The old time patrol is time-consuming and labor-consuming, not only is the efficiency low, but also the personal injury of the staff is often caused, the human body needs metabolism, and the working mode also needs.
In summary, the defects of the traditional manual working mode are obvious. The labor intensity is high, the operation efficiency is low, the operation quality is unstable, serious personal safety hidden dangers exist, and the development requirements of the modern society cannot be met more and more. With the gradual maturity of the robot technology, the intelligent robot equipment becomes an important component of an intelligent power grid, the cable tunnel inspection robot has great development potential and market prospect, the economy of China is continuously developed, the construction of the comprehensive well-off society can greatly increase the demand of electricity consumption of people, the dependence of production and life of people on electric power is higher and higher, and higher requirements are provided for the power supply capacity and the power supply quality of a transformer substation.
The intelligent robot is patrolled and examined by the cable tunnel of Hangzhou city electric power office and Zhejiang university research and development jointly 2012, this robot has independently patrols and examines, emergency treatment, remote monitoring function, duration reaches 4 hours, be furnished with high definition visible light and infrared camera, harmful gas detection device, can realize cable deformation in the tunnel, temperature and harmful gas's monitoring, and with the real-time condition in the tunnel transmit to transmission line state monitoring center through tunnel integrated monitoring system, in order to replace artifical the patrolling and examining, realize that full route is independently patrolled and examined in the tunnel, can effectively solve the high tension cable tunnel and patrol and examine the degree of difficulty big, the artifical danger coefficient scheduling problem. The line operation personnel can master the operation condition of the internal equipment of the cable tunnel without going out of home, and the integrated management and control of comprehensive intelligent monitoring and intelligent logic linkage is realized. However, the robot adopts a wheel type moving structure, has poor obstacle crossing capability, and can only work in a large-scale cable tunnel with relatively gentle ground.
At present, the robot adopting a track moving mode still has a large structural design volume, and the function of adjusting the design structure of the holder cannot meet the inspection task of a small-sized cable pipeline.
