In response to the low efficiency and insecurity of manual operation during the stripping process of high-voltage distribution networks cable,an automatic stripping robot for 10 kV power grids was proposed.Based on the working environment of the stripping robot,structural design was carried out on the key parts of the stripping robot installed on the insulation rod.A simulation analysis was conducted on the structural mode and rigid flexible coupling characteristics of the fixed gear control box of the stripping robot,providing a theoretical basis for the rationality of the structural design of the stripping robot.Finally,a robot prototype was built and stripping tests were conducted on cables with different cross-sectional areas.The results show that the damage to the cables is good,verifying the reliability of the structural design of the stripping robot.It helps to improve the efficiency of live maintenance work in the power grid.
