Modal Analysis of the Line Inspection Robot's Guide Platform

Abstract:

Line inspection robot detects defects in high-voltage power lines, and it exists the instability of the movement in the process of surmounting obstacles due to its own gravity and vibration. So the robot is easily falling from the lines. The vibration sources of the line inspection robot with double manipulators of antisymmetric structure are mainly from the rotation of the walking motors of holding mechanism, the reversal motors of mechanical arm and driving motors of guide platform. This paper established the three-dimensional models of the line inspection robot's guide platform and conducted the statics and modal analysis. The results concluded the inherent frequencies and vibration modals of the guide platform, and then provided a theoretical guidance for the optimization design of the guide platform.
