Application outlook for mobile robots in the wind power manufacturing industry

New energy usually includes solar energy, wind energy, biological energy, tidal energy, nuclear energy, etc. to distinguish fossil energy. In many concepts related to "new energy", mobile robots have achieved prominent applications in the production, energy storage, mobile charging fields, and photovoltaic fields of lithium battery. In contrast, mobile robot applications in the field of wind energy are still in the bud stage. Today, let's talk about the application of the mobile robot in the wind power industry.

China's wind power industry has made great development in the past few years. According to data, China is one of the largest wind market and wind power equipment producers in the world.

China's wind power industry currently has a huge production scale. According to statistics, China has established the world's most wind power installed capacity. As of the end of 2022, China's total wind power installed capacity exceeded 300 Gaval, accounting for nearly 40%of the global total installed capacity. The Chinese wind power industry also actively promotes offshore wind power projects, and has built a number of offshore wind farms in coastal areas.

The development of China's wind power industry has shown a positive trend. As the government's support for renewable energy increases, wind power installed capacity has continued to increase. The Chinese government has implemented a series of policies and measures to encourage investors to participate in the construction of wind power projects. In addition, technological progress and decline in cost have also prompted the rapid development of the wind power industry. The Chinese wind power industry also draws on advanced foreign experience and strengthen cooperation and exchanges with the international wind power field.

China's wind power industry is committed to continuously improving technology and operation management. Through R & D and innovation, improve the efficiency and reliability of wind power equipment and reduce energy waste. At the same time, China has also increased the planning and construction supervision of wind farms to ensure safe and environmental operations.

In this workshop, the leaves of the wind power generator crew. This involves the production of composite materials, including processing of fibrous pre -immersion, mold design and manufacturing, and the formation, curing and surface treatment of leaves.

The process segment related to mobile robot applications is:

The current status is: detection and grinding the sharing station. Artificial cycling manpower tricycles, loading detection equipment on the tricycle, polishing equipment. The typical case is that each detection and polishing process section has 3 stations, and each station requires 12 workers to consume 11 hours to complete the detection and polishing of a single blade.

Pain points: low efficiency, time consumption, more dust, workers repeat labor.

The technical key points of using mobile robots replacement:

Because the leaves are placed in different places at each time, they need to be built a map based on the leaves of the blade before the AMR work, or build a natural navigation map in real time.

The polishing scene will cause dust to adsorb on the surface organic glass on the laser radar, and the dust removal scheme is required.

At present, a typical case is that each spray process section has 2 spray stations, and each station requires 8 workers to consume 12 to 13 hours to complete the spraying of a single blade.

Pain points: Low efficiency, time consumption, more harmful paint particles, workers repeat labor.

The technical key points of using mobile robots replacement:

Because the leaves are placed in different places at each time, they need to be built a map based on the leaves of the blade before the AMR work, or build a natural navigation map in real time.
The spraying scene will cause the paint micrometer to adsorb on the organic glass on the surface of the laser radar, which requires a dust removal scheme.

Explosion -proof laser radar solutions are needed.

The spray equipment and AMR do not share the same set of 48V lithium batteries.

Due to the huge length and volume of the leaves, the wind power factory usually places the leaves outdoors. In the same outdoor warehousing area, a typical case is to store dozens of wind power leaves.

Pain point: need mature dual -mobile device linkage solutions.

The technical key points of using mobile robots replacement:

When the dual device is linked, the double -car communication is good in the outdoor open environment.

The good adaptability of the uneven cement ground.

Navigation of outdoor empty environment and rainproof and dust and dust.

This workshop is responsible for the control cabinet and electrical system of the production of wind power generators. This involves the installation, wiring, debugging and testing of electrical components, and ensures the safe operation of the entire generator set. The main process steps are: the wiring and power -on of the wind turbine cabinet.

This workshop is a place where each component is installed. Here, the steel structure, generator, blades, and control systems will be concentrated, and the final detection and debugging will be performed. In this workshop, the typical scene is that the wind power host has 150 tons of self -weight and a small amount of transportation. It is mainly manual operation and is not suitable for robotization.

Looking forward to the future, as the proportion of new energy, including wind power, is getting higher and higher, I believe that mobile robot equipment will gradually become popular in the field of wind power, and extend from the field of wind power production to the field of wind power operations:

Cleaning robots are used to clean the surface and blades of the wind power generator set. They are usually equipped with water spraying devices and/or brushes, which can walk and clean the surface independently. These robots can reduce the workload of manual cleaning and improve the accuracy and effect of cleaning.

The inspection robot is a robot system for regular inspections and maintenance of wind power generation units. They are usually equipped with various sensors and cameras, which can be inspected and monitored on the wind power generator. These robots can detect abnormal conditions, damage or required components, and provide accurate data and feedback.
