Embodiment 1

[0070] This embodiment provides a method for planning a UAV patrol line, such as figure 1 As shown, the planning method includes the following steps:

[0071] S1: Divide the target line inspection area for the UAV, and the target line inspection area is a sub-area of ​​the entire area where the line inspection task is to be performed. In a practical application scenario, the entire area where line inspection tasks are to be performed is usually relatively large, and there are a large number of power facilities distributed in the entire area. These power equipment specifically include substations, substations, switchgears, switch cabinets, transformers, overhead medium and high voltage transmission lines, poles or towers installed at intervals in the transmission lines, and so on. These electrical equipment are the facilities that actually need to be inspected in the process of performing line inspection tasks. Considering the limitation of the cruising ability of UAVs during...

Embodiment 2

[0114] This embodiment provides a UAV patrol line track planning system, the planning system uses the UAV patrol line track planning method as described in Embodiment 1 to generate its own flight path; Figure 4 As shown, the planning system includes: a map acquisition module, a first trajectory point generation module, a second trajectory point generation module, a preset path generation module, a battery replacement discrimination module, and a real path control module.

[0115] Among them, the map acquisition module is used to obtain the map of the target line inspection area that the UAV is responsible for patrolling. The map contains the position coordinates of all power facilities and UAV switching stations in the target line inspection area.

[0116] The first trajectory point generation module is used to obtain all the first trajectory points in the target line inspection area; define each sporadic power equipment in the power facility as a point target; define the powe...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle flight control, in particular to a method and system for planning a patrol line of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The steps of the method are as follows: S1: dividing the target line inspection area for the UAV. S2: Obtain the map of the target patrol area of ​​the current UAV, and query the location coordinates of all power facilities and UAV switching stations contained in the map. S3: Generate the first trajectory points including all electric facilities in the target line inspection area. S4: Generate a second track point including all electric facilities in the target line inspection area. S5: Generate a supply point including the UAV power station in the target patrol area. S6: Generate a preset path including all first track points in the current target line following area. S7: Determine whether the UAV needs power supply and then adjust the preset path. The invention solves the problems that the existing unmanned aerial vehicle needs to perform manual flight control when performing the power line inspection task, and the control process of the unmanned aerial vehicle is cumbersome, and the line inspection efficiency is not high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle flight control, in particular to a method and system for planning a patrol line of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique [0002] During the use of power equipment, regular inspections are required to detect potential safety hazards in time, and then eliminate hidden dangers to ensure the stability of power consumption for power users. Existing power equipment line inspection tasks are mainly completed manually, and managers inspect all power facilities in their respective jurisdictions. [0003] With the development of UAV technology, UAVs are increasingly used in power line inspections. When using UAVs to inspect all power facilities in the jurisdiction, managers only need to control the relevant UAVs. It is only necessary to fly according to the required inspection path, without actually entering various locations within the jurisdiction, which greatly reduces the workload of ...
