Introduction  In order to change the current patrol inspection mode of power plant mainly based on manual patrol ins-pection, improve the intelligent level of power plant patrol inspection, and fully grasp the design method of robot autonomous patrol inspection system.

  Method   This paper started from the design idea of the robot autonomous patrol inspection system, defined the system functions, and gave the design scheme of the patrol inspection system from the hardware architecture and software functions. Based on this design scheme, a 5G+ robot autonomous patrol inspection system integrating progressiveness and practicality was designed. In addition, in order to make the robot's patrol inspection results more intuitively reflect the actual operation of the power plant, this paper, based on intelligent image processing technology, completed the analysis and processing of instrument readings, valves, button switch status and other information.

  Result  The 5G+ robot autonomous patrol inspection system can realize map construction, task deployment, autonomous navigation and execution of patrol inspection tasks, automatic identification of patrol inspection equipment, and use 5G to return patrol inspection data, complete the analysis of patrol inspection results and automatically generate patrol inspection reports.

  Conclusion  The 5G+ robot autonomous patrol inspection system in intelligent power plant developed in this paper can significantly improve the patrol inspection efficiency, improve the intelligent level of power plant operation and maintenance, provide strong technical support for the independent patrol inspection operation of the power plant, provide reliable basis for professionals to comprehensively grasp the operation status of the boiler room, steam turbine room, booster station and auxiliary workshop, and ensure the safe operation of equipment in key areas while reducing personnel and increasing efficiency, better assist the construction of smart power plants.
