ATOX develops solar panel unmanned inspection robot
ATOX Corporation (Central Tokyo, Tokyo), which conducts maintenance and management of nuclear power plants and related businesses in radioactive materials, has developed solar panel inspections without the assistance of Nagaoka University of Technology, the Japan Industrial Technology Research Institute, and the Hatosuki Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd. robot. The earliest will strive to be put into use after one year. This type of robot can automatically move on the protective glass surface of the solar panel and use the sensors provided by the robot to check the continuity of the circuit. The conduction performance of the connection line between the unit (power generation element) and the unit is divided into three levels of "on", "need to observe", and "non-conduction" to evaluate and draw a graph.
At work, the robot uses a CCD camera to take a picture of the surface of the panel and automatically recognizes it by image processing and automatically travels along the connection line. The maximum supported solar panel setting angle is 30 degrees on sunny days. If you set the angle to 25 degrees, you can work under any weather conditions. When the panel is cornered, the friction may cause the panel surface to be damaged. Therefore, when turning, the robot will use the pressure plate to push the panel surface, lift the fuselage and turn it to prevent damage to the glass surface.
In January 2014, this kind of robot had undergone a confirmatory test run at the photovoltaic power plant that produced the research institute and completed the verification of basic performance. At present, research and development are being carried out to improve the actual application capabilities. In the future, ATOX will continue to improve and develop other inspection methods other than conduction tests, and at the same time as it is equipped with robots, the assembly and communication functions will be used to cancel the miniaturization and weight reduction of cables and devices.
Since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, ATOX has been conducting operations related to polluted water treatment plants and radiation management business. Through the "2012 annual power generation reactors and other accident response technology infrastructure improvement business," the company has developed a method of remotely detecting the interior of a reactor containment (suppression chamber) that uses magnetic attraction to the reactor basement that cannot be approached by personnel. Water level robot. And it is also independently developing remote decontamination devices that can perform decontamination operations inside reactor buildings. This time, the accumulation of robots developed by the company has been fully utilized in robotic inspection robots for solar panels.
