Title: Sung Il Song and a Robot for Live-Line Insulator Maintenance.
Introduction
Sung Il Song is an inventor associated with Daejeon, South Korea, and Korea Electric Power Corporation. His work includes a patented robot mechanism designed to clean and inspect live-line insulators.
Latest Patents
Song is credited with 1 patent: “Robot Mechanism for Cleaning and Inspection of Live-Line Insulators.” The invention uses a dry-cleaning method to clean insulator surfaces without water, while the robot moves automatically along an insulator string. Its main unit surrounds the string with upper and lower wing frames joined by a connecting bracket. A cleaning unit uses a rotational brush and a CM guide, while a lift unit with a clamp and ball-bearing screw moves the main unit up or down. An inspection unit electrically checks the insulators, and a coupling unit connects two main units so they can travel along either a tension or suspension insulator string.
