Abstract

The invention discloses a power line patrol unmanned aerial vehicle wireless charging relay station, a charging flight control system and a charging flight control method. The unmanned aerial vehiclewireless charging relay station comprises: a charging platform which is arranged on a power transmission tower and is provided with a wireless charging area for charging an unmanned aerial vehicle; anelectromagnetic locking device, wherein the electromagnetic locking device is used for generating magnetic attraction force to attract the unmanned aerial vehicle onto the charging platform when theunmanned aerial vehicle is charged, and generating magnetic repulsive force to enable the unmanned aerial vehicle to catapult and take off when the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off; a clamping device, wherein the clamping device is used for clamping the unmanned aerial vehicle in the wireless charging area in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction; a CT power taking device, wherein the CT power taking device takes power from the power transmission line and supplies power to the charging platform, the electromagnetic locking device and the clamping device; and a controller. wherein the controller is connected with the transmitting end of the wireless charging system, the electromagnetic locking device and the clamping device in the wireless charging area. And the unmannedaerial vehicle automatically searches the nearest wireless charging relay station for electric energy supply, and long-distance uninterrupted autonomous line patrol is carried out.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle power line inspection, and in particular relates to a stable landing and take-off system of an unmanned aerial vehicle for line inspection with wireless charging on a tower. Background technique

[0002] The aging of power transmission line components, natural environmental disasters and external man-made damage pose severe challenges to the safe and stable operation of power grid transmission lines. Conventional manual inspection methods are not only inefficient, but also affect the personal safety of inspectors in remote areas. With the rapid development of UAV technology, multi-rotor UAVs have begun to be gradually applied to power equipment inspections. However, the efficiency and quality of human-controlled UAV inspection depends on the technical level of the UAV operator, which is easy to cause mistakes to a certain extent, and accidents are inevitable during operation. Moreover, sin...
