Unmanned aerial vehicle capable of realizing automatic inspection of power line and power line inspection method

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of automatic power line inspection and a power line inspection method thereof. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes: a video acquisition unit for collecting videos of the flying direction of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the direction facing the power line; The video analysis unit is used to analyze the video collected by the video acquisition unit, and sends the video analysis result to the central processing unit; the power line induction unit is used to obtain the voltage value of the power line through electromagnetic induction, and transmit it to the central processing unit; The positioning unit is used to obtain the real-time position of the unmanned aerial vehicle; the central processing unit is used to interact with other modules, and it generates information to control the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the video analysis unit, the power line sensing unit and the positioning unit. Control instructions; a flight control unit, used to control the UAV to fly according to the control instructions of the central processing unit; a battery unit, used to provide power for other units.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power line inspection, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of automatic power line inspection and a power line inspection method thereof. Background technique [0002] The transmission and distribution circuit is an important part of the power system. Due to the wide coverage area of ​​the overhead transmission line, the complex terrain of the crossing area, and the harsh natural environment, the line foundation, towers, ground wires, and fittings are exposed to the natural environment for a long time. Bear normal mechanical and electrical loads, but also withstand external factors such as lightning strikes, rain, landslides, subsidence, earthquakes and bird damage. These factors will accelerate the aging and fatigue of the line, leading to line fault tripping and threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Power line inspection is a basic work to effectively ensure the s...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] But in fact, in the existing UAV inspection scheme, human control is still indispensable, especially the UAV only transmits the video back, and relies on people to observe the image and check the line. In this way, the UAV must be in operation. Nearby people, or driving with a drone, it is impossible to realize automatic inspection in the true sense, and completely reduce labor costs
