Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, the inspection of TV towers mainly relies on manual climbing. With the rapid expansion of TV lines, the workload of inspections is also increasing. The traditional inspection methods have the following problems: 1) Due to the high height of TV towers, Manual inspections are faced with the disadvantages of high risk, heavy workload and slow speed; 2) Staff inspections in mountainous areas, suburbs and other areas have high risks, such as ice and snow disasters, earthquakes, landslides and other severe weather or natural disasters , the inspection work is even more difficult, which not only prolongs the inspection cycle, but also generates huge inspection costs; 3) Every component on the TV tower, as small as a bolt loosening or damage, will cause great damage to the entire tower. Potential safety hazards, regular inspections and inspections of loose components have become a necessary task

Embodiment 1

[0036] see figure 1 , a method for detecting iron tower components using a drone, comprising the following steps:

[0037] (1) Arrange sign boards at predetermined positions or components of the iron tower, said sign boards are made of cards with eye-catching colors, and the material of the cards can be any durable insulating material;

[0038] The predetermined position or predetermined component can be a fastener of the iron tower, such as a bolt, and the signboard is installed on the bolt and fixed by a nut. The signboard with an eye-catching color is convenient for the drone to quickly and accurately capture The state of the components on the tower.

[0039] (2) Use the UAV with cruise function to detect the entire iron tower according to the predetermined route, and obtain the data of the predetermined part or predetermined components of the iron tower;

[0040] The unmanned aerial vehicle involved in this embodiment has at least a navigation function. It can work accor...

Embodiment 2

[0054] see figure 2 , a method for detecting iron tower components using a drone, comprising the following steps:

[0055](1) Arrange signboards and positioning chips at predetermined positions or components of the iron tower. The signboards use V-shaped cards. The material of the cards can be any durable insulating material, and are fixed on the bolts at predetermined positions or components of the iron tower. One of the top ends of the opening of the V-shaped card is equipped with a positioning chip. When the bolt is firmly fixed, the opening of the V-shaped card is very small and almost has no opening. When the bolt is loose, the opening of the V-shaped card becomes larger. The positioning chip determines the positional change of the opening, thereby determining whether the bolt is loose.

[0056] (2) Use the UAV with cruise function to detect the entire iron tower according to the predetermined route, and obtain the data of the predetermined part or predetermined compone...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting iron tower members by utilizing an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises the following steps: (1) distributing and arranging markers at reservedparts or reserved members of a iron tower , wherein the markers are nameplates or / and locating chips; (2) detecting the whole iron tower by the unmanned aerial vehicle with a cruise function accordingto a projected route and obtaining data of the reserved parts or the reserved members of the iron tower; (3) sending the obtained data to a ground control terminal, storing and analyzing the data after the ground control terminal receives the data, and determining whether differences exist among all times of the data of the same part or the same member of the iron tower; (4) maintaining the irontower by workers according to the analysis data of the ground control terminal. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the unmanned aerial vehicle is utilized to detection states of the members of the television iron tower; thus, quickness and high efficiency are achieved, an automation degree is high, operation safety of the workers is improved, maintaining cost of the television iron tower is greatly reduced, and construction and development requirements of modernized television networks can be met and adapted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of television iron tower protection, in particular to a method for detecting iron tower components using a drone. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the electric power industry, all kinds of TV towers in my country are widely distributed and scattered. Many TV towers are located in mountainous areas and suburbs, and they are several thousand meters high. How to quickly inspect the fastening of the components on these towers, so that It has become a difficult problem to ensure the smooth transmission of TV signals. [0003] At present, the inspection of TV towers mainly relies on manual climbing. With the rapid expansion of TV lines, the workload of inspections is also increasing. The traditional inspection methods have the following problems: 1) Due to the high height of TV towers, Manual inspections are faced with the disadvantages of high risk, heavy workload and slow speed; 2) Staff inspect...
