The invention discloses a substation equipment tour method based on two-dimensional barcode encryption recognition. The method includes following steps: a, obtaining verification information and substation equipment state information in a memory by employing a controller, and encoding the verification information and the substation equipment state information to generate a two-dimensional barcode picture, wherein the local two-dimensional barcode picture representing the substation equipment state information is a hidden code character area, and the local two-dimensional barcode picture representing the verification information is a plain code character area; b, scanning the plain code character area on a display screen, and sending the obtained verification information and identity information of an information acquisition mobile terminal to a network server; c, checking the information, and sending a verification code; d, inputting the verification code to the controller, and displaying the local two-dimensional barcode picture representing the substation equipment state information by the display screen; and e, scanning the two-dimensional barcode picture to obtain the substation equipment state information. According to the method, visualization of tour results can be realized, the manpower and material resources for record are reduced, and the tour accuracy and timeliness can be improved.
