Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of drone management, and in particular to an intelligent drone inspection and management platform for power transmission lines. Background Art
[0002] The drone technology currently used in the market can achieve GPS positioning, simple image processing, image transmission and other technologies. However, the magnetic field of the transmission lines and towers interferes with the transmission signals of the drone. Therefore, maintaining a high distance between the drone and the transmission lines can effectively reduce interference and promote the smooth implementation of transmission inspection work.
[0003] For example, the prior art CN103824340B discloses a drone-based intelligent inspection system and method for power transmission lines. Currently, there are many problems with using drones for intelligent inspections of power transmission lines: different inspection tasks correspond to different inspection transmission lines and inspection purposes, and the inspection equipment and models used are also different. The inspection involves complex and scattered equipment that is easily forgotten or lost. The lack of accessories during the inspection process frequently occurs, seriously affecting the efficiency of the inspection. Given limited inspection resources, especially when there are many inspection tasks and strong constraints between them, it is necessary to rationally dispatch inspection resources and equipment.
[0004] Another typical example is the prior art disclosed in CN107067489B, which discloses an intelligent inspection control system for drones. The existing drone inspection control system assigns drones that meet the inspection requirements to a task plan within a period of time. For example, drone No. 1 is responsible for inspecting a certain section of the transmission line from 10:00 to 12:00, and for temperature detection from 12:00 to 15:00. This shows that the prior art requires pre-arranging drone inspection tasks, and cannot achieve real-time scheduling of drones. This can easily lead to situations where no drone can complete some sudden inspection tasks, thereby reducing the efficiency and flexibility of drone inspections. Currently, there is no way to effectively associate drone inspection images with the transmission line information being inspected. Therefore, inspection images cannot be retrieved based on transmission line information, and inspection images cannot be effectively managed, resulting in confusion in the management and processing of inspection results, affecting the efficiency of defect judgment and defect elimination.
[0005] The present invention is made to solve the problems of poor interactivity, chaotic scheduling, inability to associate inspection routes, low efficiency in task allocation, and inaccurate inspection position guidance commonly found in drones in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0063] In addition, the guidance module is provided on each of the drones, so that each drone can interact with each other through the interaction module, thereby improving the data interaction and coordination capabilities between the drones.
[0064] After determining the number of drones participating in the inspection and the status of the drones, the status data of the drones is transmitted to the task allocation module to improve the efficiency of the inspection task allocation; at the same time, the task management module allocates tasks based on the status data of the drones and the status, thereby promoting the reliability of the completion of the inspection task;
[0065] The task assignment module includes a task generation unit and an assignment unit. The task generation unit generates an inspection task according to the location and inspection distance of the transmission line; the assignment unit assigns the inspection task to multiple drones according to the inspection task of the task generation unit.

[0071] The task arrangement index In_Tasks of each inspection route is calculated according to the inspection points, wherein the task arrangement index In_Tasks is calculated according to the following formula:
[0072] In_Tasks=G0·D a ·t
[0073] Where t is the inspection duration; G0 is the drone endurance adjustment base, whose value is related to the drone's battery capacity and current battery status, and satisfies:
[0074]

[0084] Optionally, the matching unit includes a matching manager, an ID base library, and an ID generation protocol. The matching manager is used to bind the drone to the mission association graph. The matching manager has the ID generation protocol built in, generates a matching authorization code according to the ID generation protocol, and compares the matching authorization code with the ID base library.

[0100] At the same time, if the battery status meets the conditions for continuing cruising and the established tasks have been completed, it will receive other task interaction requests from the drone. Then, through task interaction, the drone can perform new tasks after exchanging tasks. At the same time, when interaction is carried out and tasks need to be carried out, they need to be reallocated through the task management module so that the interacting drones can share the load, thereby improving the inspection efficiency of the entire transmission line.

The power transmission line UAV intelligent inspection management platform according to claim 5 is characterized in that: The matching unit includes a matching manager, an ID basic library and an ID generation protocol. The matching manager is used to bind the drone to the task association graph; the ID generation protocol is built into the matching manager, and a matching authorization code is generated according to the ID generation protocol, and compared with the ID basic library. If the comparison is successful, the matching of the task data and the drone is granted.
7. The transmission line UAV intelligent inspection management platform according to claim 6 is characterized in that: The matching unit also includes a refresh program, which is used to update the completion status in the task association diagram and feed back the task status of the drone to the server in real time.
