Design and analysis of a non-destructive detecting mobile platform for gas insulated switchgear

X-ray digital imaging detection system has been successfully applied to visual non-destructive detecting of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) equipment. Manual installing and positioning of this system is risky, inefficient and labor-intensive. This paper presents a non-destructive detecting mobile platform which is used to carry the detecting system to accomplish testing task. The requirements and the working process of this mobile platform are analyzed. The structure of two mobile manipulators which are included in this platform is presented. The kinematics model of manipulator is established correspondingly. Under the actual conditions, the rigid body dynamics is simulated by Solidworks Motion module, which provides references for structure design and motor selection. The non-destructive detecting mobile platform, which is introduced in this paper, has such advantages as high stability, high quality of detection and strong adaptability.
