Moving Mechanism Design and Analysis of Suspension Insulator Inspection Robot

Abstract

To drive synchronously and simply control system of insulator inspection robot, a single-driving moving mechanism of suspension insulator inspection robot is designed. The parallel transmission mechanism is designed to drive two sets of impeller shafts synchronously by single motor, which achieves synchronizing movement. Analysis and simulation are completed to verify structural parameters and kinematic performance of the moving mechanism. It is also discussed that the application of differential drive systems to obtain synchronizations of the driving branches and adjustment of structural errors of insulator strings.
