High-efficiency unmanned aerial vehicle group power inspection system

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-efficiency unmanned aerial vehicle group power inspection system which is particularly applied to power line inspection in a complex ground environment. The system comprises a light manned helicopter and multi-rotor-ring unmanned aerial vehicle groups. The manned helicopter is provided with an inspection data processing platform, a multi-rotor-ring unmanned aerial vehicle control platform and a multi-rotor-ring unmanned aerial vehicle group state monitoring platform. Each multi-rotor-ring unmanned aerial vehicle is provided with a high-definition monitoring camera and an infrared thermal imager. The light manned helicopter serving as an aerial mobile control command platform communicates with the multi-rotor-ring unmanned aerial vehicle groups in a one-to-many mode. The aerial mobile control command platform issues orders, and the multi-rotor-ring unmanned aerial vehicle groups execute inspection tasks according to received instructions respectively, and send acquired data to the aerial mobile control command platform in real time. The inspection data processing platform located on the aerial mobile control command platform analyzes and processes the data which is fed back, classification is conducted according to different areas, and geographical positions of data acquisition are marked.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of operation and maintenance of electric power systems, relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle transmission line inspection, in particular to a high-efficiency unmanned aerial vehicle transmission line inspection system and inspection method. Background technique [0002] my country has a vast territory, complex and changeable terrain, and overhead power lines cover a wide range of areas, complex terrain and harsh natural environment. The traditional manual line inspection method is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also has low efficiency and cannot comprehensively check faults. If you encounter complex road conditions such as crossing expressways, railways, rivers and other live lines, the manual inspection method cannot fully check the line conditions and there will be inspection dead ends, leaving potential safety hazards. In recent years, UAV inspection has been widely used in power syste...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Fixed-wing UAVs have the advantages of fast speed, long time in the air, and large flight radius, but fixed-wing UAVs cannot hover in the air, so they cannot find some small faults; manned helicopters have similar problems with fixed-wing UAVs , although the unmanned helicopter can hover in the air, but the fluctuation is large, the volume is large, and there is a dead angle in the inspection

Multi-rotor drones have the advantages of simple operation, easy maintenance, and stable hovering, but insufficient endurance has become the biggest obstacle restricting the application of multi-rotor drones

In addition to the limitations of the above-mentioned problems, UAVs used for power inspections also suffer from short communication distances, weak anti-interference capabilities, and difficulty in ensuring safety.
