[0002] Power infrastructure is the support for maintaining modern industrialized life. Nowadays, in order to save urban land and achieve aesthetic effect, more power facilities adopt underground cable setting. Compared with overground cable laying, underground cable occupies small space and has high stability. However, due to the incoordination of urban construction, underground cable obviously faces aging problems in different degrees, and may also encounter power outage, fire and other accidents if not timely repaired and replaced.

[0003] At present, the methods for solving this problem mainly include:

[0004] 1. fixed-distance excavation according to the data at the time of construction;

[0005] 2. manual detection of the ground using a detection instrument to find the cable position.

[0006] However, the above two methods have their own defects. The fixed-distance excavation method often has errors or omissions due to the error of the saved data at the time of construction, which may cause power outage accidents and affect normal production and life.
