Transmission Line Cleaner, Automated

L. Maladuraikannan

Abstract


Our venture fulfills the 4 significant mainstays of MAKE IN INDIA drive - New cycle, new foundation, and new attitude, helping in expanding the Gross domestic product of country. The great target of the task is to plan and construct a savvy UAV having mechanical framework for upkeep of high voltage transmission line. Presently, there is an absence of automated elevated vehicles having a mechanical framework joined to it having a cleaning and slithering component that are being utilized with the motivation behind support of force transmission line. In, agricultural nation like, India old strategies like LIVE LINE WASHING is utilized for support reason which includes direct human mediation. Thus, here we propose a conservative, more secure, less tedious and more productive answer for this issue. This project aims to construct a drone with a launch pad that houses a robotic system with a crawling and cleaning mechanism using DM water or dry cleaning supplies. UAV is physically worked to arrive at the ideal area and thus the tension sensor and ultrasonic sensor conveys a message to a microcontroller for the adjustment of strain and level distance comparative with the line. The microcontroller begins performing estimation for estimation of vertical level and flat distance comparative with the line. Assuming the expected estimation is inside as far as possible the microcontroller introduces the engine to open the platform connect to the UAV to fit and hold the automated framework and begin the cleaning and slithering instrument.
