[0002] Insulators in transmission lines are exposed to outdoor operation for a long time. The harsh natural environment and the operation quality of the insulators themselves are factors affecting accidents. To ensure the stable and reliable operation of insulators, regular inspection and maintenance are required to keep the insulators operating stably and the transmission lines operating reliably.

[0003] The operation process of traditional off-line insulator pollution level measurement is complex, consuming a large amount of manpower and material resources, and the obtained test results have large errors. Regular maintenance based on historical operation data has poor timeliness and may cause a large amount of waste. Portable insulator detection instruments need to be carried to the site manually for inspection work, with low inspection efficiency, increasing the work pressure on power operation and maintenance personnel. The judgment results of on-line insulator detection instruments are relatively single, with many false alarms, requiring operation and maintenance personnel to conduct manual screening, increasing the work pressure on operation and maintenance personnel. Failure to maintain in a timely manner may lead to inadequate supervision, and in severe cases, flashover power outage liability accidents may occur. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a device for visual inspection of insulator leakage current provided by an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0026] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for visual inspection of insulator leakage current, as Figure 1 shown, the method for visual inspection of insulator leakage current specifically includes steps S101-S105:

[0027] S101. Determine the spatial position information of several insulators in the transmission line.

[0028] Specifically, by monitoring and photographing the pan-tilt camera, several insulators are photographed to obtain several initial insulator images and the initial angles of the monitoring pan-tilt camera. The spatial position information of the insulators in the several initial insulator images is identified to obtain the initial position coordinates of each insulator.

[0029] Among them, the initial insulator images are segmented by target similarity to segment out similar insulator images, and it is judged whether the similar insulator images contain complete insulator images.

[0030] In the case where it is determined that the similar insulator image contains a complete insulator image, a two-dimensional plane coordinate system is established for the initial insulator image. And according to the two-dimensional plane coordinate system, the center point coordinates of the similar insulator image are determined, and according to the center point coordinates of the similar insulator image, the initial position coordinates of the insulator are obtained.

[0031] In the case where it is determined that the similar insulator image does not contain a complete insulator image, the similar insulator image is subjected to convolution operation, and through the stacking of multiple convolutional layers, the abstract surface features of the similar insulator image are extracted. Among them, the abstract surface features are the shape features of the insulator. The feature repetition transformation is performed on the abstract surface features to obtain additional basic features. According to the additional basic features, the abstract surface features are supplemented and increased to obtain complete abstract surface features. Through the complete abstract surface features, the similar insulator image is blurred and expanded to obtain a supplemented similar insulator image. The supplemented similar insulator image and the insulator image are overlapped and fused to obtain a supplemented insulator image. And according to the supplemented insulator image, a supplemented two-dimensional plane coordinate system is constructed. According to the supplemented two-dimensional plane coordinate system, the center point coordinates of the supplemented similar insulator image are determined, and according to the center point coordinates of the supplemented similar insulator image, the initial position coordinates of the supplemented insulator are obtained. Among them, the initial position coordinates of the insulator include the initial position coordinates of the supplemented insulator.

[0032] Further, the difference between the initial position coordinates of each insulator and the image center position coordinates is calculated to obtain the horizontal coordinate difference and the vertical coordinate difference of each insulator. The horizontal coordinate difference and the vertical coordinate difference are subjected to angle conversion to obtain the horizontal change angle and the vertical change angle. According to the horizontal change angle and the vertical change angle, the initial monitoring pan-tilt camera angle is adjusted to obtain the actual horizontal angle and the actual vertical angle. And the actual horizontal angles and the actual vertical angles corresponding to several insulators are recorded in the backend server to obtain the spatial position information of several insulators.

[0033] As a feasible implementation, first, the integrity of the insulator image in the initial insulator image is judged. If a complete insulator image is included, a two-dimensional plane coordinate system is directly established. Then, the center point of the segmented similar insulator images is used as the initial coordinates of the insulator, and finally, the coordinates are obtained. If an incomplete insulator image is included, first, the incomplete insulator image is complemented with features to obtain a complete abstract surface feature. Then, according to the complete abstract surface feature, the incomplete partial image is blurred and restored and expanded to obtain a new large image, that is, the similar insulator image is complemented. This image contains a complete insulator image. Then, a two-dimensional plane coordinate system is established for the new large image, and finally, the coordinates of this incomplete insulator are determined. The initial position coordinates of the insulator are of two cases. One is that the insulator image in the initial insulator image is complete, and the other is that the insulator image in the initial insulator image is incomplete. That is, the initial coordinate position of the insulator includes the coordinates under the complete insulator image and the coordinates of the complemented insulator under the incomplete insulator image. These two cases are both the initial position coordinates of the insulator, so that the spatial position coordinates of the insulator in all image cases can be obtained.

[0034] In one embodiment, the visualization intelligent monitoring device initializes and calibrates multiple insulators. The spatial position of the insulators can be manually confirmed or automatically calibrated. For manual confirmation, according to the position of the insulator in the initial insulator image, manual correction is required to make the insulator located at the center of the initial insulator image, and the monitoring pan-tilt camera is controlled to record the spatial position coordinates of the insulator at this time.

[0035] S102. According to the spatial position information of several insulators, the leakage current of the insulators is collected to obtain a recording file.

[0036] Specifically, through the insulator leakage current sensor, the leakage current of several insulators is detected to obtain an induced current. The induced current is converted into a voltage differential, and through a filter and integrator amplifier, the voltage differential is restored to obtain a leakage current value. If the leakage current value is greater than the first preset threshold, the leakage current is recorded through the insulator leakage current sensor to obtain a recording file corresponding to the leakage current. And the recording file is sent to the monitoring pan-tilt camera. Among them, the recording file includes the discharge waveform width and the discharge waveform amplitude of the leakage current.

[0037] As a feasible implementation, the insulator leakage current sensor is a Rogowski coil sensor and adopts an open structure. The installation position is at the top of the insulator. The terminal of the insulator leakage current sensor has a recording function, and the relevant discharge type is determined by comparing the width and amplitude of the discharge waveform in a lightweight database.

[0038] In one embodiment, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a visual insulator leakage current monitoring device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, the insulator leakage current sensor charges the rechargeable battery through the solar panel, and the battery realizes power conversion through the power conversion chip to supply power to the insulator leakage current sensor device; the leakage current is obtained by induction through the Rogowski coil. The Rogowski coil does not contain ferromagnetic materials and has no hysteresis effect, and the measurement of the current has a good effect. The current induced from the Rogowski coil is a differential current, and the differential current needs to pass through a low-pass filter circuit and an amplification and integration circuit to be restored to a measurable current, and then sent to the MCU for AD sampling. When the amplitude of the sampling circuit is greater than the set threshold, wave recording is started, the waveform data of the leakage current is recorded, and the leakage current trigger signal and the wave recording file are sent to the visual intelligent monitoring device through the short-range wireless module.

[0039] S103. According to the wave recording file, identify the current discharge waveform to obtain the discharge type.

[0040] Specifically, after the wave recording file is sent to the monitoring platform camera, the weather and meteorology are detected to obtain the micro-meteorological data. Through the preset lightweight intelligent algorithm and the micro-meteorological data, the current discharge waveform of the wave recording file is identified to obtain the corresponding discharge type. Among them, the discharge type includes at least any one of the following: insulator breakdown and short circuit, insulator high-resistance grounding, lightning overcurrent, and corona discharge.

[0041] As a feasible implementation manner, the insulator breakdown and short circuit include insulator bursting and burning through, and the insulator high-resistance grounding includes insulator cracks or several breakdowns. Among them, the main function of the preset lightweight intelligent algorithm is to identify the current discharge waveform of the wave recording file and combine the micro-meteorological data at that time to obtain the discharge type of the insulator.

[0042] S104. According to the discharge type, control the monitoring platform camera to rotate and identify to obtain the inspection image.

[0043] Specifically, according to the discharge type, the spatial position information of the insulator corresponding to each discharge type is identified. The monitoring platform camera is controlled to rotate to the spatial position of the corresponding insulator, and visible light and infrared identification and photographing of the insulator are performed to obtain the inspection image. Among them, the inspection image includes a visible light image and an infrared image. If no discharge type is matched, it will return to the daily inspection.

[0044] In one embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the visual intelligent monitoring device primarily consists of a solar power module, a visible light camera, an infrared thermal imaging lens, an intelligent control core, a rotating pan / tilt (PTZ), and a micro-meteorological module. The pan / tilt (PTZ) of the visual intelligent monitoring device can rotate ±180° horizontally and ±90° vertically. The solar power management module includes a solar panel, a lithium battery, and a charging control circuit. The solar panel charges the lithium battery through the control circuit and provides protection against lightning, overvoltage, and overcurrent. The intelligent control module controls the PTZ, visible light camera, and infrared thermal imaging. The visible light images and infrared thermal imaging data generated during inspections are sent to the front-end intelligent analysis module for insulator data identification and processing, with the analysis results uploaded to a server via a 4G / 5G network. The micro-meteorological module transmits collected data to the intelligent control module via radio frequency, enabling the collection of environmental status information and providing meteorological correlation for insulator leakage current.

[0045] In one embodiment, when freezing rain and ice form on insulators, the insulation performance is reduced, which will cause leakage current in the insulators, and in severe cases, a short circuit. Through leakage current detection, the current status information of the insulator can be discovered in time, and the ice thickness can be measured through image inspection to confirm the alarm. The background will trigger the ice melting operation in time to avoid power outages.

[0046] S105. Determine the damage conditions of several insulators based on the inspection images and the wave recording files.

[0047] Specifically, a preset intelligent analysis algorithm analyzes the inspection images for content analysis, identifying surface damage characteristics and heating effects on insulators. These characteristics include at least one of the following: insulator defects, cracks, surface contamination, and ice thickness. These characteristics and heating effects are then combined with micrometeorological data to determine the type of insulator damage alarm. Micrometeorological data is obtained through weather monitoring, and insulator damage alarm types include at least one of the following: insulator damage alarm, contamination coverage alarm, excessive ice thickness alarm, and leakage current overheating alarm.

[0048] Furthermore, inspection images, waveform recordings, insulator damage alarm types, leakage current values, and micro-meteorological data are statistically analyzed for each insulator to generate comprehensive inspection data. This comprehensive inspection data is then sent to the back-end server in the control platform, enabling operations and maintenance personnel to conduct visual inspections of multiple insulators.

[0049] As a feasible implementation, by viewing the comprehensive detection data of the backend servers of the control platform, the operation and maintenance personnel can clearly and intuitively know the damage situation of each insulator, so as to facilitate the operation and maintenance personnel to count the specific content of the above data for the corresponding insulator according to the visual inspection images, oscillogram files, insulator damage alarm types, leakage current values, and micro-meteorological data, and analyze the existing potential safety hazards for the insulator based on the specific content of the statistics, and use this as the basis for operation and maintenance judgment to handle the potential hazards, ensuring the safe operation of power transmission, and also improving the operation and maintenance monitoring level and accuracy of the insulator.

[0050] In addition, the embodiment of the present application also provides a visual insulator leakage current inspection device, as Figure 3 shown, the visual insulator leakage current inspection device 300 specifically includes:

[0051] At least one processor 301, and a memory 302 communicatively connected to the at least one processor 301. Wherein, the memory 302 stores instructions that can be executed by the at least one processor 301, so that the at least one processor 301 can execute:

[0052] Determine the spatial positions of a number of insulators;

[0053] Collect the leakage current of the insulators according to the spatial positions of the number of insulators to obtain an oscillogram file;

[0054] Identify the current discharge waveform according to the oscillogram file to obtain the discharge type;

[0055] Control the monitoring pan-tilt camera to rotate and identify according to the discharge type to obtain inspection images;

[0056] Determine the damage situation of a number of insulators according to the inspection images and the oscillogram file.

[0057] The embodiment of the present application provides a visual insulator leakage current inspection method and device. By realizing the communication between the leakage current detection device and the visual intelligent monitoring device through short-distance wireless communication, not only the hardware cost is saved, but also the edge data processing ability is improved. For the insulators with early warnings, trigger visual images and infrared thermal imaging inspections, and perform intelligent analysis and identification of defect potential hazards on the inspection image information, and combine with meteorological information for comprehensive analysis and confirmation, reducing the false alarm rate of insulator detection, improving the accuracy of potential hazard identification, providing visual analysis and operation and maintenance judgment basis for operation and maintenance personnel, greatly improving the operation and maintenance monitoring level of insulators. At the same time, it improves the work efficiency of operation and maintenance personnel and reduces the cost of manual inspection.
