[0002] The high-voltage disconnecting switch drives the moving contact to achieve contact and separation from the static contact by means of an operating mechanism. When it operates outdoors, it is extremely vulnerable to environmental influences. Transmission jamming, component size changes, misalignment of transmission components, etc. can all cause the disconnecting switch to fail to close in place, resulting in gaps, leading to overheating and even discharging, affecting the equipment life and threatening the safe operation of the power grid. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the closing state of the disconnecting switch.

[0003] In the prior art, a lidar is used to obtain the point cloud data of the disconnecting switch, and the point cloud data is analyzed and processed to obtain the closing state of the disconnecting switch. For details, reference can be made to the paper "Automatic Monitoring Method for Closing State of Disconnecting Switch Based on Terrestrial LiDAR". Liu Yan, Zou Yang, Tan Shuning, Long Guohua.

[0004] Although the monitoring system based on lidar can realize the visual monitoring of the disconnecting switch and the discrimination of the closing state, the measurement accuracy of the lidar is affected by environmental conditions, and the accuracy of the monitoring system is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to further determine whether the monitoring results of the monitoring system are accurate.

[0005] The patent "A Distributed Monitoring Method, System and Medium for Disconnecting Switch State" with the publication number CN111199219A discloses the following steps: obtaining the disconnecting switch image of the target disconnecting switch; obtaining the included angle α between the two arms of the disconnecting switch through image analysis; comparing the included angle α with the calibrated values of the closing and opening state included angles respectively to determine the state of the target disconnecting switch. This invention can accurately monitor the closing and opening states of the target disconnecting switch, but the accuracy of the obtained results is unknown. Summary of the Invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] Figure 1 is the flowchart of the present invention;

[0045] Figure 2 is the schematic diagram of the monitoring system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0046] The present invention will be described in more detail below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, a monitoring system for the characteristics of the disconnector's conductive arm associated with the surface area of an object includes: a lidar and a host computer.

[0049] The emission surface of the lidar is placed vertically upward, provided with an Ethernet interface, and connected to the host computer through a network cable. The lidar captures the three-dimensional image of the disconnector and saves it in the form of point cloud data; then the point cloud data is transmitted to the host computer through the network cable.

[0050] The host computer calculates the distance between the lidar and the target object; obtains the surface area of the target object; calculates the distance influence coefficient according to the distance between the lidar and the target object; and calculates the monitoring result accuracy according to the distance influence coefficient and the surface area.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] A method for monitoring a disconnector associated with the surface area of an object includes the following steps:

[0053] Calculate the distance influence coefficient K of the distance on the monitoring result according to the distance between the target object and the lidar l , which is expressed by the formula:

[0054]

[0055] In the formula, l b is the distance between the laser generator and the background environment, in meters; l n is the distance between the laser generator and the target object, in meters.

[0056] The number of valid point clouds collected by the lidar is related to the surface area of the conductive arm of the isolated switch under monitoring. The more the number of valid point clouds, the higher the accuracy of the monitoring result. Therefore, based on the surface area of the target object and the distance influence coefficient K l , calculate the accuracy of the monitoring result, which is expressed by the formula:

[0057]

[0058] In the formula, η r is the transmission efficiency of the receiving optical system; S n is the surface area of the target object, with the unit of m 2 ; S L is the area of the lidar's field of view, with the unit of m 2 ; T is the atmospheric transmittance; is the adjustment factor, taking 1.385.

[0059] The larger γ is, the better the monitoring performance; conversely, the worse the performance. In this embodiment, if γ is greater than 0.7, it is considered that the accuracy of the monitoring result is high; if γ is less than 0.7, it is considered that the target object or the installation distance needs to be adjusted.

[0060] Example Three

[0061] Furthermore, according to the error factor, update the accuracy of the monitoring result, which is expressed by the formula:

[0062] δ = 0.5(1 - 100σ) + 0.5γ

[0063] In the formula, γ represents the accuracy of the monitoring result; δ represents the updated accuracy of the monitoring result; σ represents the error factor.

[0064] Among them, the calculation formula of the error factor σ is as follows:

[0065]

[0066] In the formula, θ1 represents the monitored value of the included angle of the conductive arm of the isolated switch; θ2 represents the actual value of the included angle of the conductive arm of the isolated switch.

[0067] Using the updated accuracy of the monitoring result δ, quantitatively characterize the accuracy level of the monitoring result, and use the logic module of the terminal management platform to achieve output display. When δ ≥ 0.8, the monitoring effect level of the conductive arm characteristics of the isolated switch is displayed as excellent; when 0.8 > δ ≥ 0.6, the monitoring effect level of the conductive arm characteristics of the isolated switch is displayed as good; when δ < 0.6, the monitoring effect level of the conductive arm characteristics of the isolated switch is displayed as poor.

[0068] Example Four

[0069] Analyze the state of the target object based on the point cloud data to obtain the monitoring result, including the following steps:

[0070] Step 3-1: Use the software CloudCompare to synthesize ten single-frame PCD data collected during the same time period for the disconnector point cloud data to increase the point cloud data volume, improve the image imaging effect, be more conducive to the extraction of the disconnector conductive arm features, and enhance the data reliability;

[0071] Step 3-2: Use the image target area cropping algorithm to perform point cloud cutting: Introduce shrinkage factors S x 、S y 、S z in the x, y, and z-axis directions respectively; change the shrinkage factor values to make the disconnector conductive arm in the point cloud data have the best tightening boundary effect; cut the point cloud data in multiple coordinate axis directions: create the x-axis cropping object area value [-4, 4] and crop and retain the area; create the y-axis cropping object area value [-4, 8] and crop and retain the area; create the z-axis cropping object area value [0, 4.5] and crop and retain the area to obtain the disconnector conductive arm point cloud to better retain the side point cloud of each single-side conductive arm of the disconnector;

[0072] Step 3-3: Use the edge enhancement operator to enhance the local edges in the disconnector conductive arm point cloud: Locate the edge points by the zero-crossing points of the second-order derivative obtained from the point cloud; eliminate some boundary points or fill the boundary discontinuity points in the edge point set to obtain the three-dimensional edge point cloud data distributed along the surface of the disconnector conductive arm;

[0073] Step 3-4: Use the Euclidean clustering algorithm to perform noise reduction processing on the disconnector conductive arm point cloud to reduce environmental background noise points; among them, set the value range of the clustering threshold coefficient k of the Euclidean clustering algorithm within the interval [0.03, 0.12];

[0074] Step 3-5: Use the LMedS algorithm to perform a primary plane fitting on the point cloud data: Randomly extract N sample subsets from the point cloud samples; use the least squares method to calculate the model parameters and model errors for each sample subset; record the intermediate values of the model parameters and model errors, and finally select the model parameters corresponding to the minimum intermediate value of the model errors in the N sample subsets as the plane parameters. After multiple iterations to determine the optimal threshold and eliminate the outlier points; use the eigenvalue method to perform a secondary plane fitting on the point cloud data to obtain the fitting plane equations S1 and S2 of the side of the disconnector single-side conductive arm;

[0075] Step 3-6: Use the data processing method to obtain the normal vectors of the two planes, and calculate the included angle θ1 between the two normal vectors as the monitoring value of the disconnector conductive arm included angle.
