Abstract

It is necessary to inspect the power transmission lines periodically to maintain the power system efficiently and economically. There is obvious needed for a mobile robot replacing the labor to gain the desirable detection accuracy. By means of Pro/E and ANSYS, the method of 3D simulation and optimization design is applied to the inspection design. Tasks such as 3D mould, virtual assembly and FEA of important components, the design and analysis of particular parts of the mobile robot for power transmission lines inspection are executed. And virtual assembly of 3D model simulation proves the vertical layout method of the TBS-model satisfactory. The results gained by the software provide the methodology approval and efficient guidance for the inspection robot design
