Design of Automatic Thermostat Control System for Substation Inspection Robot

Article Preview

Abstract:

When the inspection robot works outside the substation, the internal temperature of the robot will increase or reduce along with the ambient temperature and may become ill-suited for the instruments inside. According to this problem, we design an automatic thermostat based on Thermoelectric Cooler, and design the thermostatic control system. Experiments show that this system can keep the internal temperature in a proper range, and therefore improve the adaptability of the robot to the environment. Consequently, the reliability and stability of the inspection robot is greatly improved.
