This addresses the problems mentioned in the background art, where the maintenance and inspection of oil and gas pipelines currently rely heavily on manual labor, resulting in the following issues: oil and gas pipelines are widely distributed and mostly located in remote areas, with some sections even situated in mountainous regions or ravines. Poor communication and variable weather conditions make manual inspections time-consuming, labor-intensive, and pose certain safety hazards. In particular, with the continuous expansion of the energy industry and the ongoing growth in the scale of oil and gas pipelines, the pressure on manual inspections is increasing, and labor costs are rising daily.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pipeline inspection and detection anomaly identification and location alarm device, including a flying inspection structure, and a loudspeaker anti-attack structure is provided below the flying inspection structure;
[0005] The flight line-following structure includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) body as the main body, and a control box is fixedly installed at the bottom of the UAV body. The control box contains a battery, a wireless controller, a remote GPS positioning alarm, a data transmission module, a data receiving module, a wireless broadcasting module, and a wireless network module, which are respectively fixedly installed on the circuit board.
[0006] Gas detection modules are fixedly installed on both sides of the control box, and the battery, wireless controller, remote GPS positioning alarm, data transmission module, data receiving module, wireless broadcasting module, wireless network module and gas detection module are all electrically connected.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a remote GPS positioning alarm device can be set up to achieve real-time remote positioning.
[0008] Preferably, an infrared camera is fixedly installed on the top of the drone body, and the infrared camera is enclosed inside a transparent protective cover. Meanwhile, auxiliary lights that are electrically connected to the battery and the wireless controller are fixedly installed on both sides of the outside of the transparent protective cover.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, auxiliary lighting can be provided for nighttime illumination.
[0010] Preferably, the shouting anti-attack structure includes a water tank fixed under the drone body, and broadcast speakers electrically connected to the battery, wireless controller and wireless broadcast module are fixedly installed on both sides above the water tank. At the same time, a high-pressure water pump is fixedly installed above the water tank at a distance from the water tank.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, a remote warning can be issued through a loudspeaker.
[0012] Preferably, the rear side of the high-pressure water pump is connected to one end of the corrugated pipe, and the other end of the corrugated pipe is connected to the branch pipe, while both ends of the branch pipe are connected to the high-pressure nozzle.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this pipeline inspection and detection anomaly identification and location alarm device,
[0019] (1) This case solves the problem that the current maintenance and inspection of oil and gas pipelines are mostly carried out manually by setting up a flight pipeline inspection structure. The problems are as follows: oil and gas pipelines are widely distributed and mostly located in remote areas, some sections are even located in mountains or ravines. Communication is not smooth and the climate is changeable, which makes manual inspection time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are certain safety hazards. In particular, with the increasing expansion of the energy industry and the continuous growth of the scale of oil and gas pipelines, the pressure of manual inspection is increasing and the labor cost is rising. When the drone is conducting flight pipeline inspection, the operator can remotely control the drone to approach the pipeline for inspection. When a gas leak occurs in the pipeline, the gas detection module transmits the detection signal to the remote control terminal through the data transmission module. At the same time, the remote GPS positioning alarm detects the pipeline location in real time and displays an alarm reminder on the remote control terminal. In addition, the infrared camera is used to monitor the overall drone flight work at night and detect the pipeline temperature, and effectively conduct a comprehensive inspection of the pipeline.
[0020] (2) By setting up a shouting counterattack structure, the problem of remote operators being unable to shout reminders or counterattacks in the event of oil or gas theft in the pipeline can be solved. When oil or gas theft occurs, the remote operator can first shout to drive away the perpetrators through the loudspeaker. When the perpetrators attack the drone, the remote operator can control the regulating cylinder and high-pressure water pump to spray high-pressure water at the perpetrators through the high-pressure nozzles to counterattack. This not only protects the safety of the operator but also effectively reminds the perpetrators to retaliate and reduces energy loss. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pipeline inspection and detection anomaly identification and location alarm device, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the system includes a flight line-following structure 1, which comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) body 101 as its main body. A control box 102 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the UAV body 101. Inside the control box 102, a battery 103, a wireless controller 104, a remote GPS positioning alarm 105, a data transmission module 106, a data receiving module 107, a wireless broadcasting module 108, and a wireless network module 1013 are fixedly installed via circuit boards. Gas detection modules 109 are fixedly installed on both sides of the control box 102. The battery 103, wireless controller 104, remote GPS positioning alarm 105, data transmission module 106, data receiving module 107, wireless broadcasting module 108, wireless network module 1013, and gas detection module 109 are all electrically connected. The above modules adopt the module settings disclosed in the prior art. Utilizing the module settings disclosed in the prior art effectively achieves the basic structural installation of the overall UAV body 101 and the addition of auxiliary functions.
[0030] Furthermore, an infrared camera 1010 is fixedly installed on the top of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 101, and the infrared camera 1010 is enclosed inside a transparent protective cover 1011. At the same time, auxiliary lighting lamps 1012 that are electrically connected to the battery 103 and the wireless controller 104 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outside of the transparent protective cover 1011.
[0031] In the above scheme, when the UAV 101 is conducting pipeline inspection, the operator can remotely control the UAV 101 to approach the pipeline for inspection. When a gas leak occurs in the pipeline, the gas detection module 109 transmits the detection signal to the remote control terminal through the data transmission module 106. At the same time, the remote GPS positioning alarm 105 detects the pipeline location in real time and displays an alarm on the remote control terminal. Furthermore, the infrared camera 1010 is used to monitor the overall operation of the UAV 101 during nighttime flight and to detect the pipeline temperature, thus effectively conducting a comprehensive inspection of the pipeline.
[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a loudspeaker anti-attack structure 2 is provided below the flight line inspection structure 1. The loudspeaker anti-attack structure 2 includes a water tank 201 fixed below the UAV body 101, and loudspeakers 202 electrically connected to the battery 103, wireless controller 104, and wireless broadcast module 108 are fixedly installed on both sides above the water tank 201. At the same time, a high-pressure water pump 203 is fixedly installed above the water tank 201 at a distance from the installation distance of the water tank 201. The rear side of the high-pressure water pump 203 is connected to one end of the corrugated pipe 204, and the other end of the corrugated pipe 204 is connected to the branch pipe 205. Both ends of the branch pipe 205 are connected to high-pressure nozzles 206. The rear side of the high-pressure water pump 203 is connected to one end of the corrugated pipe 204. The bellows 204 is connected to the branch pipe 205 at one end, and both ends of the branch pipe 205 are connected to the high-pressure nozzle 206. The rear side of the high-pressure nozzle 206 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 207 via a connecting pin. The mounting bracket 207 is fixedly installed below the control box 102. At the same time, an adjusting cylinder 208 with a movable connecting seat is fixedly installed below the control box 102. The output end of the adjusting cylinder 208 is also connected to the rear side of the branch pipe 205 via a movable connecting seat. The above components constitute a drive adjustment structure. By using the drive adjustment structure constituted by the above components, the rotation angle of the high-pressure nozzle 206 can be effectively changed to impact the perpetrators at different angles.
[0033] In the above scheme, when oil or gas theft occurs, the remote operator can first use the loudspeaker 202 to shout and drive away the perpetrators. When the perpetrators attack the drone body 101, the remote operator controls the regulating cylinder 208 and the high-pressure water pump 203 to operate, spraying high-pressure water through the high-pressure nozzle 206 at the perpetrators in retaliation. This not only protects the operator's safety but also effectively warns the perpetrators and reduces energy loss.
