Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular relates to a UAV patrol training device for power distribution lines. Background Art
[0002] Multi-rotor drones, with their outstanding features of maneuverability, flexibility, speed, efficiency, and portability, have gradually become a key means of power grid line inspection. They have, to a certain extent, replaced human climbing and tower climbing, and effectively supplemented helicopter and manual inspections. By drawing on the advantages of drones in transmission line inspections and applying them to distribution network inspections, a collaborative drone-manual inspection approach will help improve the refined management of distribution network operations and maintenance.
[0003] However, there are certain risks in the operation of multi-rotor drones: First, the distribution network equipment and system structure are complex, and the proximity to densely populated user areas and other influencing factors restrict the technical requirements of distribution network drone inspections. Second, the working environment of drone inspections varies greatly, and may encounter relatively severe weather. The micro-topography and micro-meteorological environment require high drone control skills. Third, there are emergencies such as GPS signal loss and slow control during the operation, which can easily lead to crashes if not handled properly. Fourth, due to the level and experience of personnel, the data quality is uneven, and there are problems such as inaccurate focus, underexposure or overexposure, which is not conducive to subsequent data analysis.
[0004] At present, the pre-job training content for multi-rotor drone operators is limited to the flight control of the drone itself. It takes time to hone the mastery of distribution line inspection and operation skills. Training on meteorological environment, emergency events, etc. is particularly difficult, which also increases the training risks and costs. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The following descriptions of the embodiments refer to the accompanying drawings to illustrate specific embodiments in which the present invention may be implemented.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a distribution line drone inspection training device, comprising:
[0030] A drone body 2, and a remote controller 5 and a computer host 6 wirelessly connected to the drone body 2; the drone body 2 is controlled by the remote controller 5 to perform patrol training along a preset patrol route and collect patrol data; the computer host 6 is used to compare the collected patrol data with pre-set three-dimensional model data, determine whether the preset patrol route covers the defect area, and determine whether to adjust the drone body based on the determination result;
[0031] A camera box 4 is provided on the lower surface of the drone body 2, and a video defect monitoring module is provided inside the camera box 4, and the video defect monitoring module is used to collect safety risk data and equipment defect data; the lower surface of the drone body 2 is symmetrically provided with longitudinal connecting plates 7 on both sides of the camera box 4; a clamping plate 8 is provided below the connecting plate 7, and a control box 9 is installed on the lower surface of the clamping plate 8, and a processor 15 is provided inside the control box 9. A data acquisition module is provided on the lower surface of the control box 9, and a wireless transceiver module 18 is provided on the side of the control box 9 close to the processor 15, and the data acquisition module is used to collect sound data and temperature and humidity data. The processor 15 is used to process the collected patrol data and transmit it to the computer host 6 through the wireless transceiver module 18.
[0032] Specifically, please combine Figure 2-Figure 7As shown, a plurality of connecting rods are symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the drone body 2, and a rotating blade 1 is arranged on the upper surface of the end of each connecting rod away from the drone body 2; a landing gear 3 is arranged on one side of the connecting plate 7 on the lower surface of the drone body 2. A mounting plate 10 is installed between the upper surface of the connecting plate 7 and the lower surface of the drone body 2. Connecting blocks 14 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the clamping plate 8, and a limiting plate 13 is installed on the upper surface of the connecting block 14; accordingly, a groove 12 is provided on the lower surface of the connecting plate 7 to accommodate the connecting block 14 and the limiting plate 13; the outer diameter of the connecting block 14 is smaller than the outer diameter of the limiting plate 13, and a spring 11 is symmetrically arranged inside the groove 12, and the two ends of the spring 11 are respectively connected to the upper surface of the limiting plate 13 and the groove 12. When in use, the clamping plate 8 is first pulled downward to make the connecting blocks 14 symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the clamping plate 8 move downward inside the groove 12, and at the same time, the limiting plate 13 arranged on the upper surface of the connecting block 14 will also move downward, and the limiting plate 13 arranged inside the groove 12 The spring 11 is connected to the upper surface of the limit plate 13. When the clamping plate 8 is pulled downward, the spring 11 connected to the limit plate 13 is deformed by tension. At this time, the distance between the clamping plate 8 and the mounting plate 10 connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 7 increases, thereby placing the camera box 4 above the clamping plate 8. After placement, the clamping plate 8 can be released, and the spring 11 restores the deformation, causing the limit plate 13 connected to the connecting block 14 to move upward inside the groove 12. This also causes the clamping plate 8 to move upward. After movement, the elastic action of the spring 11 clamps and fixes the camera box 4, thereby facilitating the camera set on the front surface of the camera box 4 to take photos and patrol. The above structure facilitates the installation and disassembly of the camera box 4 and is convenient for use. A protective pad is also provided on the upper surface of the clamping plate 8 to protect the camera box 4 placed thereon.
[0033] A control box 9 is mounted on the lower surface of the clamping plate 8. A data acquisition module is installed on the lower surface of the control box 9. This module specifically includes a temperature and humidity sensor 16 and an acoustic sensor 17. The output of the data acquisition module is wirelessly connected to the input of a processor 15. The output of a video defect monitoring module installed within the camera box 4 is also wirelessly connected to the input of the processor 15. The output of the processor 15 is wirelessly connected to a wireless transceiver module 18. The monitoring data from the video defect monitoring module includes safety risks and equipment defects. Safety risks include hidden dangers in electrical equipment and equipment placement risks. Equipment defects include equipment damage, leakage in cable lines, and the risk of flammable, explosive, and hazardous substances.
[0034] During use, the shape of the power distribution equipment is first established offline, and the data is converted into a three-dimensional model and displayed on a computer host 6. The computer host 6 then simulates the power distribution line conditions, including setting equipment defect and fault areas and simulating abnormal conditions such as high temperature and humidity. The user controls the drone body 2 via a remote control 5 to conduct flight training in the simulated environment, allowing the drone body 2 to fly along a set training route or perform manual operations. During flight, a data acquisition module located on the lower surface of the control box 9 collects information about the power distribution line conditions, including monitoring equipment defects such as abnormal heating, water ingress, and condensation via a temperature and humidity sensor 16, and collecting equipment operating sounds, discharge sounds, and vibration sounds via an audio sensor 17. After collection, the data is transmitted to the processor 15 for processing. Similarly, the video defect monitoring module transmits monitored safety risk data and / or equipment defect data (specifically, infrared images and visible light photos captured by the camera) to the processor 15 for processing. The processor 15 transmits the processed data to the computer host 6 via a wireless transceiver module 18. The data processed by the processor 15 is compared with the three-dimensional model data previously presented in the computer host 6 to determine whether the inspection path covers the defective area. If so, the staff will further determine the equipment type and fault. If there is a problem after the comparison, that is, the data collected by the drone body 2 is inaccurate and the inspection path does not cover the defective area, the staff needs to adjust the drone body 2. In this way, the drone body 2 is allowed to fly again and collect data from the simulated distribution line again until it can cover the defective area after training, that is, the defect is the same as the defect pre-set in the computer host 6. The above adjustment of the drone body 2 is determined based on the specific comparison results. For example, if the problem is caused by the camera shooting angle problem, the camera angle is adjusted; if the temperature collected by the temperature and humidity sensor is inaccurate, the temperature and humidity sensor installation position is adjusted or a new temperature and humidity sensor is replaced. From the above process, it can be seen that the distribution line drone inspection training device of this embodiment is used to train staff to operate drone inspections under abnormal conditions of line equipment. It is not only simple to operate, but also allows the drone body to be adjusted according to the inspection training situation and repeated training, which helps to improve the efficiency of distribution line drone inspection training and reduce training costs.
[0035] From the above description, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the camera box, is easy to use, and can control the drone body to perform flight training in a simulated environment through a remote control, and compare the collected data with the three-dimensional model data pre-presented in the computer host to determine whether the inspection path covers the defective area. In this way, staff are trained to conduct drone inspections when the line equipment is in an abnormal state, accurately judge and identify equipment failures, improve the efficiency of distribution line drone inspection training, and reduce training costs.
[0036] The above disclosure is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
