Sun Ning, robot R&D engineer of CITIC Heavy Industries Kaicheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. With an urgent sense of mission, he has injected a "magic box" of intelligence into special robots with a number of patented technologies, developed the most complete product line of special robots in China, and protected the life safety of workers and the safety of national property. It has been successively awarded the National Model Worker, Hebei Provincial Special Model Worker, Tangshan Phoenix Talent, CITIC Heavy Industry Science and Technology Progress Special Prize and other honors. It has obtained 4 national invention patents, 18 utility model patents and 8 appearance patents, Won the gold medal of the National Industrial Design Competition, the second prize of Hebei Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award and other awards.

When walking into the workshop of CITIC Heavy Industries Kaicheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. in Tangshan, the first thing you see is rows of special robots with different styles. Their appearance is simple, but their internal structure is complex, and they look like modified tanks. These robots, the heaviest of which is 220kg and the lightest of which is only 15kg, can be picked up by an adult with one hand Come on.

"This is a series of fire fighting robots and patrol robots developed by me and my team." Sun Ning, a robot research and development engineer, told reporters, "Don't underestimate them. Climb up a hill and cross a ridge as if walking on the ground, seeing, hearing, and inquiring about everything. People can't get close to them They can take the place of manual work where people can't do it. "

Sun Ning's determination to develop a "special robot" has long been hidden in his heart.

When he was a child, his classmate's father lost his arm in a production accident, which has been hard for him to forget. "It is necessary to build a robot to work in dangerous places instead of manual work." In 2015, after joining CITIC Heavy Industries Kaicheng Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., Sun Ning realized this The intention of the goal is stronger.

Since the beginning of his employment, Sun Ning has been almost crazy about learning and research, always rushing to the front line of robot research and development projects, and shining on his own post step by step

Passionate, practicing the spirit of craftsman, relying on excellent technology and solid work style In just a few years, he has rapidly grown into a backbone professional and technical talent in the robot research and development department.

"In that year, our company has been working in the field of special robots for 10 years, and developed a 'robot family' consisting of five categories, namely, mining disaster detection robots, drilling detection robots and underwater detection robots." Sun Ning said with a serious expression, "In 2015, the explosion of Tianjin Binhai New Area logistics warehouse aroused a strong sense of social responsibility of the company It has set the development direction of the special robot industry and launched the fire robot project. "

It can look around the country and the industry, lacking national and industrial standards, and has no reference Prospective technical literature can be referred to. The way of seeking is like planting trees and grass in the desert.

Under difficult circumstances, Sun Ning was appointed to undertake the research and development of the company's fire fighting robot Business.

"The company gave us only three months to research and develop. At that time, the team set up a" military Writ '- made into a fire fighting robot with international advanced level. " Sun Ning recalled.

After consulting more than 200 relevant papers, more than a dozen schemes were formed and hundreds of experiments were conducted. The effort paid off. Within three months, the first explosion-proof fire fighting robot was successfully developed. Compared with the same foreign robot products equipped with 80 liters of water cannon per second, the robot developed by Sun Ning's team weighs only half of their weight and has a third of their volume. This means that this robot has stronger ability to pass through complex environment and narrow space The working ability is recognized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences as reaching the international advanced level.

In 2016, he presided over the development of the fire robot to participate in the fire drill of the Palace Museum, which was praised by the media as "the guard of the Forbidden City in the new era" due to its outstanding performance. Since then, the fire robot series products have gradually occupied more than 70% of the domestic market of the same kind, and have been exported to many countries Home.

Sun Ning is lucky to be able to enter the robot field in the era of great development of artificial intelligence. But in the intelligent age, only "fast" can not be broken. There is no outdated principle, only outdated engineers. In specific research and development, how to optimize the product to make it more consistent

Meeting market demand is another challenge facing Sun Ning.

In 2018, in order to achieve new technological breakthroughs in the field of special robots, Sun Ning's team started with patrol robots and expanded their technology research and development to all special robot products of the company. He said: "Every robot is like our child, and we should do our best for them." Growth skills. "

The patrol robot needs to replace the rescue team and go deep into the ravine terrain at full speed. Referring to the Christie shock absorption suspension system on tank vehicles, Sun Ning has developed a gear shaped track, which enables robots to operate in grassland, marsh, snow, ruins, coal mines and oil fields

Rapid movement on various terrains will win valuable time for emergency rescue.

In order to "slim down" the robot, they developed the world's first intrinsically safe PTZ, which successfully reduced the weight of the wheeled inspection robot by 60% by means of the design of explosion-proof robot microminiaturization and implementation device intrinsically safe. It has the characteristics of collecting multiple information, rich functions, friendly human-computer interface, strong interaction, etc., becoming the first explosion-proof robot applied in the petrochemical industry in China Patrol robot.

In this process, Sun Ning's team not only mastered all the processes and key technologies of the secondary development of special robots, but also laid a solid foundation for undertaking other robot projects. Over the past few years, they have accelerated on the road of intelligent manufacturing, gradually expanded special robot technology to emergency rescue, mining, petroleum and petrochemical and other fields, and developed 53 kinds of Special robots have become the "pioneers" of rescue in many fields at home and abroad.

"As a craftsman, model worker, and technical leader, we want to carry forward the spirit of model worker, labor spirit, and craftsman in our work, do our work well, precisely, and meticulously, and continue to develop more cutting-edge robot products to promote social change, so as to contribute to the high-quality development of our province and the takeoff of the national advanced manufacturing industry Force. " Sun Ning said. (Contributed by Hebei Federation of Trade Unions)
