Problems solved by technology

[0002] Natural gas pipelines are usually laid in places with relatively harsh environments, such as deserts, swamps, etc. The harsh environment brings many difficulties to the inspection work of pipelines
The traditional inspection method is to use geographic information system and hand-held terminal to carry out manual inspection. Due to the wide distribution of natural gas pipelines, the inspection workload is large and the inspection data is scattered. It is very easy for inspectors to miss inspections, which reduces work efficiency
In addition, the harsh environment is also prone to accidents, and there are risks

Abstract

The invention provides a natural gas pipeline tour-inspection system based on a drone. The system comprises a drone body, a flying control sub-system, a data collecting sub-system and a ground monitoring sub-system; a high-definition sport camera and a gas detector of the data collecting sub-system are connected below the drone body; the flying control sub-system and other data collecting sub-system devices are disposed inside the drone body; the flying control sub-system and the ground monitoring sub-system are wirelessly connected with each other through a first data transfer radio station and a second data transfer radio station; and the data collecting sub-system is communicated with the ground monitoring sub-system through wireless connection between a first image transfer radio station and a second imagetransfer radio station and wireless connection between a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module. The natural gas pipeline tour-inspection system has the following beneficial effects: performing tour-inspection by means of the drone, and using image information and gas information captured in real time as an inspection result, thus improving working efficiency of the natural gas pipeline tour-inspection, reducing working difficulties at the same time, and reducing accident risks.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle inspection, and in particular relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle-based natural gas pipeline inspection system. Background technique [0002] Natural gas pipelines are usually laid in harsh environments, such as deserts, swamps, etc. The harsh environment brings many difficulties to the inspection work of pipelines. The traditional inspection method is to use geographic information system and hand-held terminal to carry out manual inspection. Due to the wide distribution of natural gas pipelines, the inspection workload is large and the inspection data is scattered. It is very easy for inspectors to miss inspections, which reduces work efficiency. In addition, the harsh environment is also prone to accidents and risks. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to propose an unmanned aerial vehicle-based natural gas pipeline inspection syst...
