Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, most power line inspections in my country use manual inspections. The inspection rate is low, and there are often missed inspections and wrong inspections. Paper and pen are used to record fault defects. There are many subjective factors, and the description of defect records is different, so it cannot be quickly classified.
The high-voltage power lines to be detected have reached hundreds of kilovolts or more. Traditional manual inspections use the method of climbing power line towers, which has great potential safety hazards.
A large number of power lines pass through uninhabited areas, manual inspections are severely restricted geographically, the range of human activities is restricted by physical fitness, and the detection distance is limited
Manually observe the power line and use experience to judge whether the line is faulty, and it is easy to cause mistakes and the accuracy is not high
The use of helicopters to replace manual inspections of power lines in foreign countries has become more popular, and it has also begun to be explored in China. From the experience feedback at home and abroad, completely manual helicopters for power line inspections have poor adaptability and low safety. Disadvantages: The aerial height of the power line is low, and the use of helicopters for inspections requires low-altitude flight along the line. The air situation is complicated, and the pilot needs to maintain line of sight contact with the line at any time, while performing normal flight operations, which greatly increases the difficulty of operation. There is a rule in the manual that "avoid flying close to high-voltage power lines". Line patrol flying does the opposite, keeping a close distance and parallel flight with high-voltage lines. The flying speed is faster and the danger is greatly increased. Helicopter crash
There are still three major deficiencies in the routine inspection of helicopters: First, the degree of automation of the airborne system operation is relatively low, resulting in the need for at least two people on the aircraft to operate, one person to operate the inspection equipment, and one person to visually inspect the line equipment and record defects, which is easy to miss inspection
Second, the workload of data processing after inspection is heavy
Manual viewing of video data with low pixels is time-consuming and labor-intensive
Third, the inspection cost is high
The spatial position of the helicopter changes dynamically, which seriously affects the acquisition of the image information of the power line by the airborne system. Therefore, it is necessary to design a method for locking and tracking the power line under test to eliminate the influence

Embodiment Construction

[0043] Such as figure 1 Shown, the locking tracking method of helicopter inspection power line, comprises the following steps:

[0044] (1) Use the position coordinate tracking method in the remote area to determine the three-dimensional rotation angle of the pod according to the current position coordinates of the helicopter and the position coordinates of the measured target, and quickly and initially lock the measured target;

[0045] (2) When entering the area to be inspected, the position coordinate tracking method is used. According to the current position coordinates of the helicopter and the position coordinates of the target to be measured, the flight attitude of the helicopter is determined through the flight attitude detector and the current tower number is read by a radio frequency card reader to determine Control the three-dimensional rotation angle of the pod to quickly and accurately lock the measured target;

[0046] (3) When entering the working area, the pos...

Abstract

The invention discloses a locked tracking method of a helicopter in the inspection process of inspected electric power circuits, comprising the following steps of: (1) confirming a three-dimensional corner of a nacelle in a distant area according to position coordinates of the helicopter and an inspected target by adopting a position coordinate tracking method and carrying out rapid and primary locking on the inspected target; (2) confirming a three-dimensional corner of a control nacelle according to the position coordinates of the helicopter and the inspected target, a flight attitude of the helicopter confirmed by a flight attitude detector and a current tower number read by using a radio-frequency card reader by adopting the position coordinate tracking method when the helicopter enters into a pre-detection area, and rapidly and accurately locking the inspected target; and (3) locking and tracking the inspected target by adopting the position coordinate tracking method, and locking and tracking local components of the inspected target by adopting an image identification and tracking method when the helicopter enters into a working area. The invention has the advantages of rapidly and accurately locking and tracking the inspected target, lightening workload of inspectors, improving the inspection efficiency and reducing expenses of inspection cost of the helicopter.
