Switch-gear or control-gear system with unmanned operation and maintenance, and method of operating the same

Abstract

A switch-gear or control-gear system, in particular a low voltage switch-gear or control-gear system is configured for unmanned operation and maintenance. The switch-gear or control-gear system is configured for unmanned operation and maintenance with a robotic system or manipulator and wherein the robotic system or manipulator comprises a camera system and an image recognition system. The robotic system is provided with a data network or an external data communication interface. The camera is configured to correspond with an image recognition system and to evaluate actual images with adaptive image data, in order to be able to locate and to analyse physical reasons for faults or deterioration of components that might lead to faults.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A switch-gear or control-gear system, in particular a low voltage switch-gear or control-gear system configured for unmanned operation and maintenance,
 wherein the switch-gear or control-gear system is configured for unmanned operation and maintenance with a robotic system or manipulator and wherein the robotic system or manipulator comprises a camera system and an image recognition system.   
     
     
         2 . The switch-gear or control-gear system according to  claim 1 , wherein the robot system is provided with a data network or an external data communication interface. 
     
     
         3 . The switch-gear or control-gear system according to  claim 1 , wherein the camera is configured to correspond with an image recognition system and to evaluate actual images with adaptive image data, in order to be able to locate and to analyse physical reasons for faults or deterioration of components that might lead to faults. 
     
     
         4 . The switch-gear or control-gear system according to  claim 1 , wherein the camera is configured with a video mode, by which the functional surveillance can be taken by slow motion video sequences. 
     
     
         5 . The switch-gear or control-gear system according to  claim 1  comprising an external housing containing the switch-gear or control-gear system. 
     
     
         6 . A method for operating a switch-gear or control-gear system, in particular a low voltage switch-gear or control-gear system configured for unmanned operation and maintenance,
 wherein the switch-gear or control-gear system is configured for unmanned operation and maintenance with a robotic system or manipulator which is steered at least partly by a software system, and   wherein the robotic system or manipulator comprises a camera system and an image recognition system, which is used for technical diagnosis.   
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the robot system is provided with a data network or external data communication interface, and that in case of detection of technical problems or malfunctions, referring messages are generated automatically and send to an authorized external observation system. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the camera is provided configured to correspond with an image recognition system and to evaluate actual images with adaptive image data in order to be able to locate and to analyse physical reasons for faults. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the camera is provided with a video mode, by which the functional surveillance can be taken by slow motion video sequences and analysed automatically with regular expected function sequences by comparison of slow motion video sequences from a adaptive data field, which show the expected regular function. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein an external housing contains the switch-gear or control-gear system.
