Description

Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of power transmission line inspection, and particularly relates to a flying snake high-voltage power transmission line maintenance robot system and a control method.
Background
The overhead high-voltage transmission line is an intermediate medium for power transmission, and the stability of the overhead high-voltage transmission line is related to the national civilization. At present, the domestic inspection means mostly adopts manual inspection or uses unmanned aerial equipment for inspection. With the deep research of the robot technology, the high-voltage transmission line robot plays an important role in the inspection operation.
For the research of the inspection robot for the high-voltage transmission line, the inspection robot with the LineCout crossing a linear tower, which is developed by the Quebec hydropower research institute in Canada, is relatively representative abroad; an "explorer" inspection robot, which is commonly developed by japan power systems corporation (JPS) and japan western electric power company (KEPCO). The representative in China is that the robot is suitable for patrolling 500KV ultrahigh voltage transmission lines, and the intelligent patrolling robot which is developed by Wuhan university and runs along 110KV and above high voltage transmission line leads, which are developed by Shenyang automation of Chinese academy of sciences.
When the inspection robot is greatly developed, the snake-shaped robot has the characteristics of multiple redundant degrees of freedom, adaptability to various environments and the like, so that the snake-shaped robot is favored. Compared with the earlier research on the snake-shaped robot at home, Hirose professor of Tokyo university in Japan in the last 70 th century successfully develops the first snake-shaped robot which can move on a plane and is named as ACM (active rod mechanism), and then continuously promotes ACM-R2, ACM-R3, ACM-R4 and ACM-R5, wherein the ACM-R5 can realize the amphibious control of a water channel; takanashi of NEC corporation in Japan develops a rigid articulated snake-shaped robot which can move in three-dimensional space and can be applied to exploration and rescue work under dangerous conditions; the united states was developed successfully by the university of kanamylon, mainly for climbing modular serpentine robots, etc. The first miniature snake-imitating robot model in China is developed by Shanghai traffic university, Daizhouzheng and the like in 1999; after that, a snake-shaped robot model machine capable of being controlled by waterway amphibious motion is developed by 2002 national defense science and technology university; shenyang Automation institute of Chinese academy of sciences, robot research and development team with Marchang as core developed snake-shaped robot patroller II and explorer III.
In conclusion, although the high-voltage line inspection robot and the snake-shaped robot have been developed greatly at home and abroad, at present, the following robots exist: (1) at present, most of the control of snake-shaped robots at home and abroad is centralized on ground control, underwater control, pipeline control and the like, and the control of flying is rarely carried out; (2) the control system of the traditional 2-arm or 3-arm high-voltage transmission line inspection robot with the rigid structure is not only complex, but also is generally suitable for being applied to hardware fittings and pole tower environments with specific structures and is difficult to apply to complex and variable high-voltage transmission line environments. (3) Most inspection robots only have inspection control and do not have maintenance control.
In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a flying snake high-voltage transmission line maintenance robot system and a control method thereof. The snake flying robot has a flight control function, and can quickly finish the on-line and off-line through flight control. During the flying process, the flight in the postures of zigzag or O-shaped can be realized through the allosteric control. Meanwhile, different obstacles on the high-voltage transmission line can be crossed in a winding type obstacle crossing mode, a crossing type obstacle crossing mode and the like through the allosteric control in the on-line inspection process. In addition, the flying snake robot has an overhauling control function, so that the problem that most high-voltage transmission line inspection robots only inspect the flying snake robot is solved. In conclusion, the system and the control method provided by the invention effectively ensure that the flying snake robot can finish the routing inspection task with high quality and high efficiency.

8. A control method of a flying snake high-voltage transmission line maintenance robot is characterized by comprising the following steps: the method comprises the following steps:
step one, establishing communication connection between the ground control center 18 and the flying snake robot body;
step two, setting a takeoff attitude: the ground control center 18 sends an instruction to the flying snake robot controller 1, and the setting of the posture is completed by controlling the rotation of the deflection motor 15 and the rotation motor 13; selecting a "" Z "" type take-off attitude or an "" O "" type take-off attitude;
step three, flight control:
the flying snake robot controller 1 transmits the received data of the attitude judgment module 20, the positioning module 21 and the environment recognition and judgment module 22 back to the ground control center 18 through the communication module 4; the ground control center 18 sends a control signal to the flying snake robot controller 1 through the communication module 4, so as to complete the following control:
ascending or descending flight: the driving motor of the traveling mechanism driving module 2 enables the propellers on all the brushless motors 17 to keep horizontal rotation at the same rotating speed, and the propellers which horizontally rotate push air downwards to realize ascending or descending flight of the flying snake robot;
deflecting and flying: the driving motor of the walking mechanism driving module 2 enables partial or all propellers on the brushless motor 17 to incline at a certain angle, the rotating speeds of all the brushless motors are kept consistent, and the horizontal component force generated by pushing air obliquely downwards by the rotating propellers pushes the flying snake robot to realize deflection flying in the horizontal direction;
and (3) aerial attitude transformation: the angle between the snake bodies of the adjacent units is changed through a driving motor of the traveling mechanism driving module 2, so that the posture in the horizontal direction is changed; the posture of the flying snake robot in the vertical direction is changed by controlling different brushless motors 17 to generate different rotating speeds;
step four, online control:
through flight control, after reaching the online position, the ground control center 18 selects a proper online position according to the information detected by the environment recognition and judgment module 22 and the positioning module 21; under the control of the ground control center 18, the flying snake robot slowly approaches to the high-voltage transmission line, and when the snake bodies of all units of the flying snake robot and the high-voltage transmission line are at the expected reasonable relative positions, the walking wheels of the flying snake robot clamp the high-voltage transmission line by controlling the rotary motor 13 and the deflection motor 15 to finish the on-line operation;
step five, flying switching control:
when the flying snake robot is safely suspended on a high-voltage power transmission line, the traveling mechanism controller sends a signal to the flying mechanism controller through a serial port; at the moment, the flight mechanism controller closes the flight mechanism driving module 3 and switches from the flight state to the online inspection state;
step six, walking control:
after the flying switching is completed, the flying snake robot starts to carry out online autonomous inspection; when the environment recognition and judgment module 22 detects that the distance between the flying snake robot and the obstacle is greater than d0, the flying snake robot performs normal inspection; when the flying snake robot walks on the horizontal line, the walking motor 16 outputs constant torque to keep running at a constant speed; when the vehicle is going downhill, the walking motor 16 outputs a small or no output torque, and can be decelerated in a braking mode if necessary; when climbing uphill, the walking motor 16 outputs a large ground torque, overcomes the component force and the friction force of gravity downwards along a slope, and finishes climbing; when the environment recognition and judgment module 22 detects that the distance between the flying snake robot and the obstacle is greater than d1 and less than or equal to d0, the walking motor 16 enables the flying snake robot to run at a low speed, and when the distance is equal to d1, the flying snake robot stops routing inspection;
step seven, obstacle crossing control:
the flying snake robot controller 1 finishes obstacle crossing through the following control steps according to the type of the acquired obstacle:
(a) loosening the high-voltage transmission line by the travelling wheel of the unit snake body in the obstacle crossing state;
(b) the drive motor of the walking mechanism drive module 2 enables the snake body of the unit in the obstacle crossing to avoid the obstacle and drives the flying snake robot to move forwards;
(c) the driving motor of the walking mechanism driving module 2 enables the walking wheels of the unit snake body which has passed over the obstacle to clamp the high-voltage transmission line again;
(d) repeating the steps until the flying snake robot completely passes through the obstacle;
step eight, slip control:
when the flying snake robot is in a slipping state, the friction between the walking wheels and the high-voltage transmission line is improved by increasing the pressure of the walking wheels and the high-voltage transmission line, so that slipping is overcome; when the pressure value between the travelling wheel and the high-voltage transmission line is greater than or equal to a set safety threshold value but the slippage cannot be overcome, the flying snake robot controller 1 sends the situation to the ground control center 18 through the communication module 4, and the ground control center 18 makes a proper decision;
ninth, maintenance control: in the inspection process, when the environment recognition and judgment module 22 detects that the high-voltage transmission line has a problem needing to be inspected, the flying snake robot controller 1 controls the inspection motor 14 to generate corresponding actions according to the actual condition of the problem, and the inspection task is completed;
step ten, off-line control: the process is the reverse of the third, fourth and fifth steps.
