Intelligent Switch Cabinet Hoisting Robot with Path Planning Function

Hoisting Robot; Switch Cabinet

Purpose/Aim

At present, the traditional construction method of manual forklift combined with roller bar and crowbar is still used for the positioning of switch cabinet in substation, which is not only inefficient, but also prone to violent vibration during transportation and positioning, resulting in damage to the equipment in the cabinet. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and use a new type of switchgear transportation and hoisting equipment.

Experimental/Modeling methods

This paper introduces an intelligent hoisting robot with path planning function, which is suitable for the hoisting of switchgear equipment in 220 kV, 110 kV and 35 kV substations. The robot has the characteristics of foldable assembly, wireless intelligent remote control, intelligent anti-collision, dynamic path planning, laser setting out and load real-time monitoring. On the basis of ensuring the stability and reliability of the transportation and hoisting process of the switchgear, the robot has further improved the specialization, automation and intelligence of hoisting machinery, as well as safety performance, control performance, energy conservation and environmental protection.

Results/discussion

The hoisting robot introduced in this paper can adapt to switch cabinets of different sizes, combine mechanical technology with electronic technology, and apply wireless remote control, anti-collision technology, ant colony algorithm and path planning to the mechanical drive and control system, so as to realize the automation and intelligence of hoisting equipment.

Conclusions

The robot designed in this paper can realize the folding and step-by-step assembly of the mechanical mechanism according to the size of the doors and windows of the power distribution room, and the transportation path planning can be carried out with the help of ant colony algorithm, so as to realize the flexible positioning of various types of equipment with different sizes. At the same time, the staff can also carry out wireless intelligent remote control with the help of pad, and realize the functions of laser setting out and real-time load display at the same time. The lifting process is safe and reliable.
