Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of line monitoring technology, and more specifically, relates to a method for monitoring the status of transmission lines and preventing bird spikes. Background Technology

[0002] Power grid towers are quite tall, so birds often nest on their crossarms. Furthermore, bird droppings on these crossarms can damage the insulation of the insulators, potentially causing power outages. Therefore, many bird spikes have been installed on the crossarms. These spikes consist of multiple barbs that prevent birds from landing on them, thus providing protection.

[0003] Monitoring power transmission lines has always been a crucial aspect for power companies and related departments. Previously, regular inspections by personnel were necessary; now, remote monitoring using drones and other methods is possible. However, if a line fault occurs and the inspection takes place in calm conditions, the fault can easily be overlooked. Therefore, although there are increasingly more detection methods available, monitoring power lines still requires numerous steps to accurately identify the type of fault. Due to the hidden nature of power lines, these faults are often difficult to detect, leading to accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for monitoring the status of transmission lines and preventing bird spikes, aiming to solve the problem of not being able to promptly and specifically determine the status of the lines and potential faults.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: to provide a method for monitoring the condition of transmission lines and preventing bird spikes, comprising:

[0006] Specialized bird spikes and monitors are installed on multiple poles. The monitoring range of the monitors is adjusted to cover the corresponding bird spikes and the lines located on both sides of the poles. The monitors monitor multiple spikes on the bird spikes in real time. By determining the position and shape changes of the multiple spikes, the external parameters of the location are inferred. Based on the geographical location and environmental conditions of each pole and the external parameters, the external environment of the line is determined. The initial posture of the line at the beginning of the detection interval is recorded. Combining the external environment and the initial posture, the shape change pattern of the line during the detection interval is recorded. The change pattern is compared with the simulated posture change of the line to determine the differences and the reasons for the differences. Finally, verification and early warning are performed.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the tip of the barb is fitted with a connecting ball to increase the contact area with the wind; and the elastic modulus of the plurality of barbs decreases from the center of the bird spike outwards.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the step of inferring the external parameters of the location by determining the positions and shape changes of the plurality of needles includes:

[0009] The monitor records and clearly defines the position and swing angle of each connecting ball in real time, and records the time of change of the position and angle of each connecting ball;

[0010] Based on the different time and magnitude of change of each connecting ball, combined with the elastic modulus and information fed back by the local weather department, the wind direction, wind speed, wind center location and coverage area are inferred and finally recorded in the external parameters.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the step of inferring wind direction and speed, as well as the center location and coverage area of ​​the wind, by combining the elastic modulus with information from local weather authorities includes:

[0012] Record the position and angle of each connecting ball at the beginning of the detection interval and determine the magnitude and direction of the internal stress of each needle at the current time;

[0013] Within the detection range, the spatial position changes of each connecting ball are clearly identified and digitally displayed; after processing, the magnitude, direction, and time of the external forces acting on each connecting ball within the detection range are inferred, and finally, the wind speed and wind direction are predicted.

[0014] In one possible implementation, after the sorting is completed, the magnitude, direction, and time of the external force acting on each of the connecting balls within the detection interval are deduced, and finally the wind speed and wind direction are deduced, including:

[0015] Create physical models of the needle and the connecting ball, such that the models have the same physical properties as the corresponding needle and the connecting ball;

[0016] The external forces acting on the model can be inferred from the changes in the model's spatial position over a period of time.

[0017] In one possible implementation, installing specialized bird spikes and monitors on multiple towers includes:

[0018] The monitor records the gyroscope installed at the bottom of the bird spike in real time, and the influence of the pole's tilt angle and tilt direction on the final result is considered when analyzing the shape change.

[0019] In one possible implementation, considering the influence of the tower's tilt angle and tilt direction on the final result when analyzing the shape change includes:

[0020] The monitor's monitoring range covers the gyroscope. The monitor captures images of the gyroscope in real time and compares the acquired images with the gyroscope's position in the initial steady state to determine the gyroscope's deflection angle. The deflection angle is used to characterize the angle change of the tower.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the combination of the external environment and the initial posture to record the shape change pattern of the line during the detection interval includes:

[0022] The circuit is simulated and a simulated object is generated. The simulated object is set to the initial attitude. Then, the external environment is applied to the simulated object at the speed detected in reality, and the attitude change of the simulated object is observed.

[0023] In one possible implementation, comparing the variation pattern with the simulated attitude changes of the line includes:

[0024] Set the attitude change and the change pattern on the same time axis, and observe the change amplitude and angle at different positions of the line at the same time point; record the starting point and ending point of the difference between the two as subsequent data reference.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the starting point and ending point of recording the difference between the two as subsequent data references include:

[0026] Analyze the similarities and differences between the change pattern and the posture change at the same time point, establish a reference threshold, and set the two ends where the difference between the change pattern and the posture change exceeds the threshold as the starting point and the ending point, respectively.

[0027] After identifying the starting point and the ending point, the problem area where accidents may occur is marked. Different line problems are simulated at the positions of the simulation body corresponding to the starting point and the ending point, and the shape changes are performed under the same external environment until the operating form with the same change pattern is simulated. Finally, the location of the line fault and the cause of the fault are recorded and an early warning is issued.

[0028] The beneficial effects of the bird-proof spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the bird-proof spike and transmission line condition monitoring method of this invention first installs bird-proof spikes and monitors on multiple towers. The monitoring range of the monitors covers the corresponding bird-proof spikes and the lines located on both sides of the towers. The bird-proof spikes consist of multiple needles. When there is wind, the wind will blow the multiple needles one after another. The external parameters of the location are inferred based on the position and shape changes of the multiple needles. To improve accuracy, the external environment of the line is finally determined based on the geographical location and environmental conditions of each tower.

[0029] In the analysis phase, the initial attitude of the line at the start of the detection interval is first recorded. Then, the shape change pattern of the line during the detection interval is recorded, taking into account both the external environment and the initial attitude. This change pattern is compared with the simulated attitude changes of the line to ultimately determine the cause of the difference. The method in this application can more accurately and meticulously determine the external environment of the line, thus providing more reliable data support for the line's attitude changes. Furthermore, through more detailed comparisons, the state of the line and the causes of differences can be clearly identified, and early warnings can be issued. This highly targeted approach reduces line maintenance steps and prevents accidents. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention will now describe the method for monitoring the condition of bird spikes and transmission lines. The method for monitoring the condition of bird spikes and transmission lines includes:

[0036] Specialized bird spikes 1 and monitors were installed on multiple poles. The monitoring range of the monitors was adjusted to cover the corresponding bird spikes 1 and the lines located on both sides of the poles. The monitors monitored the multiple spikes 101 on the bird spikes 1 in real time. By determining the position and shape changes of the multiple spikes 101, the external parameters of the location were inferred. Based on the geographical location and environmental conditions of each pole and combined with the external parameters, the external environment of the line was determined. The initial attitude of the line at the beginning of the detection interval was recorded. Combined with the external environment and the initial attitude, the shape change pattern of the line during the detection interval was recorded. The change pattern was compared with the simulated attitude change of the line to determine the differences and the causes of the differences. Finally, verification and early warning were carried out.

[0037] The beneficial effects of the bird-proof spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided by this invention are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the bird-proof spike and transmission line condition monitoring method of this invention first installs bird-proof spikes 1 and monitors on multiple towers. The monitoring range of the monitors covers the corresponding bird-proof spikes 1 and the lines located on both sides of the towers. The bird-proof spikes 1 include multiple spikes 101. When there is wind, the wind will blow the multiple spikes 101 one after another. The external parameters of the location are inferred based on the position and shape changes of the multiple spikes 101. To improve accuracy, the external environment of the line is finally determined based on the geographical location and environmental conditions of each tower.

[0038] In the analysis phase, the initial attitude of the line at the start of the detection interval is first recorded. Then, the shape change pattern of the line during the detection interval is recorded, taking into account both the external environment and the initial attitude. This change pattern is compared with the simulated attitude changes of the line to ultimately determine the cause of the difference. The method in this application can more accurately and meticulously determine the external environment of the line, thus providing more reliable data support for the line's attitude changes. Furthermore, through more detailed comparisons, the state of the line and the causes of differences can be clearly identified, and early warnings can be issued. This highly targeted approach reduces line maintenance steps and prevents accidents.

[0039] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 The end of the barbed needle 101 is equipped with a connecting ball 102 to increase the contact area with the wind; and the elastic modulus of the multiple barbed needles 101 decreases from the center of the bird barb 1 outwards.

[0040] The advantage of this design is that the connecting ball 102 can further increase the contact area between the needle 101 and the wind, allowing the needle 101 to more sensitively sense the wind in windy conditions. When the wind acts on the needle 101, the connecting ball 102 can enhance the force effect of the wind on the needle 101, thereby making the changes in the position and shape of the needle 101 more obvious, which is conducive to more accurate prediction of external parameters.

[0041] The elastic modulus of the multiple bird spikes 101 decreases from the center outwards. This distribution of elastic modulus makes the outer spikes 101 more prone to deformation under the same wind force compared to those at the center. This results in varying degrees of deformation across the entire bird spike 1 during windy conditions, with the deformation gradually increasing from the center outwards. This makes the position and shape changes of the spikes 101 more diverse and predictable, thus facilitating the accurate prediction of external parameters through analysis of these changes. This provides richer and more accurate data for determining the external environment of the transmission line, further enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the entire bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method.

[0042] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 The external parameters of the location are inferred by determining the position and shape changes of multiple needles 101, including:

[0043] The monitor records and clearly shows the position and swing angle of each connecting ball 102 in real time, and records the time of change of the position and angle of each connecting ball 102.

[0044] Based on the different time and magnitude of change of each connecting ball 102, combined with the elastic modulus and information fed back by the local weather department, the wind direction, wind speed, wind center location and coverage area are inferred and finally recorded in the external parameters.

[0045] The purpose is to analyze the specific distribution of a wind pattern, because the force exerted on the transmission line varies depending on its location in the wind, resulting in differences in the amplitude of its sway. To further accurately analyze the transmission line's state in the wind, a more detailed study of the swaying trajectory of each connecting ball 102 is needed. By establishing a precise mathematical model and substituting the position and angle data of each connecting ball 102 at different times, the overall swaying of the transmission line can be simulated more accurately. This allows for a clearer understanding of the force characteristics of the line under different wind conditions, providing stronger data support for line maintenance and optimization.

[0046] Meanwhile, to ensure the reliability of monitoring data, the monitoring equipment needs to be calibrated and maintained regularly. This includes checking whether the monitor's recording function is normal, whether the position detection of each connected ball 102 is accurate, and whether data transmission is stable. Only by ensuring the stable operation of the equipment can accurate position and angle change information be obtained, thereby accurately predicting external parameters.

[0047] Furthermore, with the continuous development of technology, it is advisable to combine more advanced sensor technologies with existing monitoring methods. For example, using equipment such as lidar to acquire more comprehensive meteorological data, including the three-dimensional distribution of wind direction and speed, can complement the existing monitoring method via the connecting sphere 102, further improving the accuracy of the analysis of external parameters of transmission lines and better ensuring the safe and stable operation of transmission lines.

[0048] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 Based on the elastic modulus and information from local weather authorities, the wind direction, wind speed, wind center location, and coverage area were inferred, including:

[0049] Record the position and angle of each connecting ball 102 at the beginning of the detection interval and determine the magnitude and direction of the internal stress of each needle 101 at the current time.

[0050] Within the detection range, the spatial position changes of each connecting ball 102 are clearly identified and digitally displayed; after processing, the magnitude, direction, and time of the external forces acting on each connecting ball 102 within the detection range are inferred, and finally, the wind speed and wind direction are predicted.

[0051] By analyzing the external forces acting on each connecting sphere 102 within the detection range, the center position and coverage area of ​​the wind are further determined. Using the magnitude and direction information of the external forces acting on each connecting sphere 102, combined with spatial location change data, a specific algorithm or model is employed to accurately calculate the center position of the wind. By analyzing the distribution of external forces acting on each connecting sphere 102 at different times, the boundary of the wind coverage area is determined. During the calculation process, the influence of factors such as the terrain and surrounding buildings on the wind is considered, and the calculation results are appropriately corrected. Simultaneously, the calculated wind direction, wind speed, wind center position, and coverage area are compared and verified with information from local weather departments to ensure the accuracy of the predictions. If discrepancies are found, the causes of the discrepancies are further analyzed, and the prediction model or algorithm is optimized and adjusted to improve the accurate monitoring capability of wind conditions around the transmission line, providing more reliable data support for bird spike protection and transmission line status monitoring, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the transmission line.

[0052] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 After processing, the magnitude, direction, and time of the external forces acting on each connecting ball 102 within the detection range were deduced, ultimately leading to the deduction of wind speed and direction, including:

[0053] Create physical models of the needle 101 and the connecting ball 102, so that the models have the same physical properties as the corresponding needle 101 and connecting ball 102.

[0054] The external forces acting on the model can be inferred from the changes in the model's spatial position over a period of time.

[0055] Based on the external forces acting on the model, combined with known physical relationships and algorithms, the magnitude, direction, and timing of the external forces acting on each connecting sphere 102 within the detection range are calculated. Then, based on this force information and relevant meteorological principles, wind speed and direction are ultimately predicted. By comparing and analyzing simulated data from various environments with actual meteorological data and optimizing the algorithm, the accuracy of predicted wind speed and direction is continuously improved. In practical applications, this method is applied to the bird spike monitoring system for transmission lines to acquire real-time wind speed and direction information, enabling timely adjustments to the bird spike protection strategy and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the transmission lines. Simultaneously, the wind speed and direction data obtained from each monitoring session are recorded and analyzed to establish a long-term database, providing data support for subsequent research on the operation of transmission lines under different meteorological conditions, further optimizing the bird spike and transmission line status monitoring methods, and improving the reliability and safety of the entire power system.

[0056] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 Specially designed bird spikes and monitors were installed on multiple towers, including:

[0057] A monitor records real-time data from a gyroscope 2 installed at the bottom of the bird spike 1, considering the impact of the tower's tilt angle and direction on the final result when analyzing shape changes. When the tower tilts, the gyroscope 2 accurately detects the changes in angle and direction and transmits the data to the monitor in real time. Upon receiving the data, the monitor immediately initiates an analysis program, combining pre-set algorithms to comprehensively consider the impact of the tower's tilt angle and direction on the shape changes of the bird spike 1. In-depth analysis of this complex data allows for a more accurate assessment of the actual state of the bird spike 1. If the tower's tilt angle exceeds a certain threshold, the monitor will promptly issue an alarm signal, notifying relevant maintenance personnel for inspection and handling. Upon receiving the alarm, maintenance personnel will quickly proceed to the site and, based on the detailed data provided by the monitor, investigate the cause of the tower's tilt. If the tilt is due to geological changes, it is necessary to assess the overall impact on the bird spike 1 and the transmission line, and formulate corresponding reinforcement or adjustment plans. During the process, maintenance personnel will closely monitor changes in various parameters of the bird spike 1 to ensure its continued effective bird protection and guarantee the safe and stable operation of the transmission line. Meanwhile, the monitor continuously monitors the data from the gyroscope 2 at the bottom of the bird spike 1. If any abnormality is detected again, it will be promptly reported to the maintenance personnel so that further measures can be taken to avoid potential safety hazards.

[0058] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, please refer to... Figure 2 When analyzing shape changes, the influence of the tower's tilt angle and tilt direction on the final results includes:

[0059] The monitor's surveillance range covers gyroscope 2. The monitor captures images of gyroscope 2 in real time and compares these images with the position of gyroscope 2 in its initial steady state to determine its deflection angle. This deflection angle characterizes the angle change of the tower. The monitor can be understood as a camera, monitoring the line, gyroscope 2, and bird spikes 1 in real time. The purpose of gyroscope 2 is to consider tower tilt when analyzing line sway, because different tower tilt angles result in different line sway patterns. If the tower tilts, as the tilt angle increases, under the same external environmental factors, the amplitude and frequency of line sway may differ significantly from when the tower is not tilted. For example, when the tower tilts in the direction of the main line sway, the influence of the tower tilt on the line sway is more significant, potentially leading to a further increase in the amplitude of the line sway. What was originally a small sway in the normal tower state may exceed the safety threshold after the tower tilts.

[0060] At this time, the deflection angle determined by the gyroscope image obtained through the monitor will change significantly. Based on this angle change and its correlation with the line sway, the current actual state of the transmission line can be determined more accurately. For example, when the deflection angle exceeds a certain preset value and the line sway amplitude also exceeds the normal fluctuation range, a warning signal can be issued in a timely manner to notify relevant personnel to conduct further inspection and maintenance of the line, so as to ensure the safe and stable operation of the transmission line and avoid power failures caused by factors such as tower tilting.

[0061] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, the shape change pattern of the line during the detection interval, combined with the external environment and initial attitude records, includes:

[0062] The circuit is simulated and a simulated object is generated. The simulated object is set to its initial attitude, and then the external environment is applied to the simulated object at the speed detected in reality. The attitude change of the simulated object is observed.

[0063] By observing and analyzing the attitude changes of the simulated structure in detail, specific shape change data of the transmission line under different external environmental influences are obtained, thereby establishing a line shape change model based on the external environment and initial attitude. Using this model, the dynamic change trend of the line shape under various actual operating conditions can be accurately predicted, providing strong data support and theoretical basis for subsequent bird spike protection and transmission line condition monitoring. For example, when the simulated structure experiences significant attitude deviation under specific wind and temperature conditions, the corresponding actual line may also exhibit similar shape changes in the same or similar environments, allowing for proactive countermeasures to ensure the safe and stable operation of the transmission line.

[0064] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method provided in this application, the variation patterns are compared with simulated line attitude changes, including:

[0065] Set the attitude changes and the patterns of change on the same time axis, observe the magnitude and angle of change at different positions on the line at the same time point; record the starting point and ending point of the difference between the two as a reference for subsequent data.

[0066] By analyzing the starting and ending points of these discrepancies, it is possible to accurately determine whether the actual attitude changes of the transmission line conform to normal patterns. If the discrepancy exceeds a certain range, further in-depth research can be conducted to analyze whether the monitoring data of the bird spikes (or the transmission line itself) is flawed or whether an abnormal attitude change has indeed occurred. If the problem lies with the bird spike monitoring data, it is necessary to check whether the monitoring equipment is working properly and whether the sensors are accurate. If the transmission line attitude is abnormal, its potential impact on power transmission safety should be assessed promptly, and corresponding measures should be taken, such as arranging for professional personnel to conduct on-site investigations to determine whether adjustments or maintenance of the line are necessary to ensure the stable operation of the transmission line and guarantee the reliability of power supply.

[0067] In some embodiments of the bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring methods provided in this application, the starting point and ending point for recording the difference between the two as subsequent data references include:

[0068] Analyze the similarities and differences between the change patterns and posture changes at the same time point, establish a reference threshold, and set the two ends where the difference between the change patterns and posture changes exceeds the threshold as the start point and the end point, respectively.

[0069] After clearly defining the start and end points, the next step is to identify potential problem areas where accidents may occur. Different line problems are simulated at the corresponding start and end points on the simulator, and shape changes are performed under the same external environment until a running pattern consistent with the changing patterns is simulated. Finally, the location and cause of the line fault are recorded and an early warning is issued. Specifically, in actual operation, high-precision sensors collect data on the changing patterns and attitude changes in real time. First, the data at each time point is meticulously analyzed to accurately identify the differences between the two. Reference thresholds are scientifically and reasonably established by referring to a large amount of historical data and industry standards. Once the difference between the changing patterns and attitude changes exceeds the threshold, the start and end points are quickly determined.

[0070] After determining the starting and ending points, advanced simulation technology is used to accurately simulate different route problems at corresponding locations on the simulator. Based on the characteristics and operating environment of the actual route, the shape of the simulator is adjusted under the same external conditions. Simulation parameters are continuously optimized until a running shape that perfectly matches the actual changing patterns is simulated.

[0071] At this point, the location and cause of the line fault should be recorded in detail. An intelligent early warning system should be used to promptly send warning messages to relevant personnel when a similar fault trend appears, based on pre-defined rules, reminding them to take appropriate measures to ensure the safe and stable operation of the transmission lines.

[0072] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

The bird spike and transmission line condition monitoring method as described in claim 7, characterized in that, The starting and ending points of the recorded differences between the two are used as references for subsequent data, including: Analyze the similarities and differences between the change pattern and the posture change at the same time point, establish a reference threshold, and set the two ends where the difference between the change pattern and the posture change exceeds the threshold as the starting point and the ending point, respectively. After identifying the starting point and the ending point, the problem area where accidents may occur is marked. Different line problems are simulated at the positions of the simulation body corresponding to the starting point and the ending point, and the shape changes are performed under the same external environment until the operating form with the same change pattern is simulated. Finally, the location of the line fault and the cause of the fault are recorded and an early warning is issued.
