[0051] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a power line inspection system and a communication method, wherein the system has an inspection aircraft 1, an adaptive clamping component 2, an aircraft self-checking module, a fault aircraft positioning module and an inspection distribution control terminal.

[0052] The inspection aircraft 1 is provided in plurality, and the inspection aircraft 1 is used for inspecting the power line in the power line distribution area according to the power inspection route. The number of the inspection aircraft 1 can be determined according to the number of the power detection points. If one inspection aircraft 1 only detects one power detection point, then the number of the inspection aircraft 1 is slightly more than the number of the power detection points. One inspection aircraft 1 corresponds to one power detection point, and the remaining inspection aircraft 1 is used as backup. In the case that other inspection aircraft 1 cannot be assembled when the inspection aircraft 1 fails, the backup aircraft can be directly assembled.

[0053] The adaptive clamping component 2 is arranged on the inspection aircraft 1, and the adaptive clamping component 2 is used for adjusting the angle according to the inclination angle of the power line 3, so as to temporarily fix the inspection aircraft 1 on the power line 3 for power line detection.

The aircraft self-checking module is used for real-time monitoring the running state of the inspection aircraft 1, real-time sending the self-checking report, checking the sending situation of the self-checking report and analyzing the self-checking report, so as to analyze the working state of the inspection aircraft 1.

[0055] The fault aircraft positioning module is in communication connection with the aircraft self-checking module, and is used for analyzing a fault occurrence position and a fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1, and screening and assembling at least one inspection aircraft 1 in a power line distribution area according to the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1 to perform positioning of the fault aircraft and detection of a power line that is not detected by the corresponding fault aircraft.

[0056] The inspection distribution control terminal is in communication connection with the inspection aircraft 1, the aircraft self-checking module and the fault aircraft positioning module, and is used for distributing a power inspection route corresponding to the inspection aircraft 1 according to a power detection point, receiving and storing data of the inspection aircraft 1, and updating the circuit inspection route distributed to the corresponding inspection aircraft 1 according to the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1.

[0057] In the embodiment of the application, the running state of the inspection aircraft 1 is monitored in real time and a self-checking report is sent in real time, the fault occurrence position and the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1 are analyzed in real time in the case that the self-checking report is analyzed to appear a fault or the self-checking report is not received, at least one inspection aircraft 1 in a power line distribution area is assembled to perform positioning of the fault aircraft and detection of a power line 3 that is not detected by the corresponding fault aircraft, when the inspection aircraft 1 fails, the aircraft for power inspection is replaced in time and the fault aircraft is analyzed in time, the loss of the fault aircraft is avoided, the power inspection is ensured to be carried out as scheduled, in addition, the inspection aircraft 1 is fixed on the power line 3 in the detection process of the inspection aircraft 1 through the self-adaptive clamping component 2, the inspection aircraft 1 directly falls to the ground in the detection process to cause damage of the shell and the internal circuit of the inspection aircraft 1 is avoided, and the inspection aircraft 1 is also convenient to find back in time.

[0058] The application performs power line inspection through the inspection aircraft 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the inspection aircraft 1 comprises an aircraft body 11, a propeller structure 12 arranged at a side of the aircraft body 11, and a landing support 13 arranged at a bottom of the aircraft body 11; the bottom of the aircraft body 11 is provided with a propeller cabin 14, and the propeller cabin 14 is provided with a transverse driver 15.

[0059] The propeller structure 12 and the transverse driver 15 both drive the flight, and the directions of the actions are different, one drives the aircraft body 11 to ascend and descend, and the other drives the aircraft body 11 to make transverse displacement.

[0060] In the application, the aircraft body 11 is fixed on the power line 3 through the self-adaptive clamping component 22, and the self-adaptive clamping component 2 of the application adopts the following preferred embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 andFigure 6 As shown in the figure, the adaptive clamping component 2 comprises a positioning seat 21 arranged on the aircraft body 11, a connecting seat 22 arranged at the bottom of the positioning seat 21, a limiting groove 23 arranged at the bottom of the positioning seat 21, and a sliding plate 24 slidingly arranged in the limiting groove 23; the aircraft body 1 is fixedly provided with a fixed seat 25, the connecting seat 22 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 25 through a connecting rod 26, the bottom of the sliding plate 24 is rotatably provided with a rotating shaft 27, and the end of the rotating shaft 27 is connected with a first driving motor 28.

[0061] The above structure can drive the positioning seat 21 to rotate, so as to adjust itself according to the inclination angle of the power line 3, ensure that the aircraft body 11 remains horizontal, and enable the power line 3 to be fixed. In the initial state, the horizontal state of the positioning seat 21, the first driving motor 28 drives the rotating shaft 27 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding plate 24 to slide in the limiting groove 23, and under the pushing action of the sliding plate 24, one end of the positioning seat 21 gradually moves up, and the other end rotates around the connecting rod 26, so that the positioning seat 21 is angle-adjusted.

[0062] In order to fix the power line 3, the present application is further designed as follows, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the positioning seat 21 is provided with a mounting groove 29, a positioning arc plate 210 is rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 29, the bottom of the positioning arc plate 210 is rotatably connected to the mounting groove 29 through a connecting shaft 211, a transmission gear 212 is coaxially arranged on the connecting shaft 211, a gear lifting plate 213 is arranged on the side of the transmission gear 212, and a lifting cylinder 214 is connected to the bottom of the gear lifting plate 213; a plurality of arc grooves 215 are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the positioning arc plate 210, and an abutting arc plate 216 is connected to the inside of the arc groove 215 through a spring 217.

[0063] When the aircraft body 11 flies directly below the power line 3, the lifting cylinder 214 is driven to drive the gear lifting plate 213 to move downward, thereby driving the transmission gear 212 to rotate inward, driving the positioning arc plate 210 to rotate inward through the connecting shaft 211, and gradually fixing the power line 3 above the aircraft body 11. At this time, the abutting arc plate 216 is in contact with the outer wall of the power line 3, and the spring 217 is extruded.

[0064] In order to detect the power line 3, a detection element 4 for detecting the power line 3 is arranged on the inner wall of the abutting arc plate 216; a detection circuit and a communication unit are arranged in the inspection aircraft 1, the detection element is connected to the communication unit through the detection circuit, and the communication unit is used for transmitting detection data to the inspection distribution control terminal, and receiving a power inspection route and a control instruction.

[0065] The application analyzes the working state of the inspection aircraft 1 by monitoring the operation state of the inspection aircraft 1 in real time, sending a self-checking report in real time, checking the sending situation of the self-checking report, and analyzing the self-checking report by the aircraft self-checking module.

[0066] The monitoring element is arranged in the inspection aircraft 1, and the monitoring element is electrically connected with the propeller structure 12, the transverse driver 15, the lifting cylinder 214, and the detection circuit. The monitoring element is used for monitoring the working current and voltage of the propeller structure 12, the transverse driver 15, the lifting cylinder 214, and the detection circuit. The data sending unit is in communication connection with the monitoring element. The data sending unit is used for making an aircraft working state analysis table according to the working current and voltage data, and sending the aircraft working state analysis table to the data verification unit for comparison and verification. The positioning unit is used for acquiring the position of the inspection aircraft in real time.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the monitoring element is used for monitoring the working current and voltage of the propeller structure 12, the transverse driver 15, the lifting cylinder 214, and the detection circuit, so as to detect whether the propeller structure 12, the transverse driver 15, the lifting cylinder 214, and the detection circuit work normally.

[0068] The aircraft working state analysis table contains the working current and voltage of the propeller structure 12, the transverse driver 15, the lifting cylinder 214, and the detection circuit. The aircraft working state analysis table is equivalent to a comprehensive table of overall detection data, and is sent to the data verification unit for comparison and verification.

[0069] The data verification unit compares and verifies according to the aircraft working state analysis table, so as to analyze the fault structure of the inspection aircraft. According to the situation that the data verification unit cannot receive the aircraft working state analysis table, it is determined that the inspection aircraft is in a data interruption state.

[0070] The data verification unit stores threshold values of the working current and voltage of the propeller structure 12, the transverse driver 15, the lifting cylinder 214, and the detection circuit. The detected data is compared with the data threshold values. When it is detected that the data is not in the data threshold value interval, it is proved that the structure corresponding to the data has a problem. For example, the working current of the propeller structure 12 is abnormal, which means that the propeller structure 12 cannot work normally. The working current of the transverse driver 15 is abnormal, which means that the transverse driver 15 cannot work normally. The working current of the lifting cylinder 214 is abnormal, which means that the fixing structure of the power line 3 cannot work normally. The detection current is abnormal, which means that the transmission and detection of the detection data may not be performed normally.

[0071] In addition, when the data checking unit does not receive the aircraft operation state analysis table sent by the data sending unit, it indicates that the inspection aircraft is in a data interruption state, and new inspection aircraft 1 needs to be allocated to find the fault aircraft for the above-mentioned fault conditions, and another new inspection aircraft 1 needs to be allocated to perform inspection on the fault aircraft which has not been detected in the future.

[0072] The inspection allocation control terminal allocates the power inspection route corresponding to the inspection aircraft 1 according to the power detection point, receives and stores the data of the inspection aircraft 1, and updates the circuit inspection route allocated to the corresponding inspection aircraft 1 according to the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1. In the present application, the inspection allocation control terminal adopts the following preferred embodiment, which comprises a detection input terminal, a route allocation unit, a data storage library and a control unit.

[0073] The detection input terminal is used to input the power detection point, the route allocation unit is used to allocate the corresponding power inspection route to the inspection aircraft according to the power detection point, and the data storage library is used to store the detection data of the inspection aircraft 1 and the monitoring data of the detection element and the positioning unit.

[0074] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the route allocation unit mainly calculates the inspection time of a plurality of candidate paths according to the power detection point, and selects the optimal power inspection route according to the length of the inspection time.

[0075] The present application analyzes the fault occurrence place and the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1 through the fault aircraft positioning module, and selects and adjusts at least one inspection aircraft 1 in the power line distribution area according to the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1 to position the fault aircraft and detect the power line which has not been detected by the corresponding fault aircraft. The fault aircraft positioning module comprises a data analysis unit, a data extraction unit and a screening unit.

[0076] The data analysis unit is in communication connection with the data checking unit, and is used to extract the real-time information of the positioning unit and analyze the fault occurrence place and the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1 according to the checking result of the data checking unit. The data extraction unit extracts the data of the data storage library according to the fault signal and transmits it to the screening unit.

[0077] The data analysis unit can directly obtain the fault occurrence structure or communication disconnection according to the verification structure of the data verification unit, and the position of the inspection aircraft 1 can be obtained by extracting the positioning data of the corresponding positioning unit. In the embodiment of the application, if the positioning unit works normally, the position of the fault aircraft can be monitored in real time, and the fault aircraft can be found back. If the positioning unit cannot work normally, the positioning position of the fault aircraft before the signal loss needs to be extracted to find back the fault aircraft. The fault aircraft may also follow the original route for inspection in the case of communication problems, and the fault aircraft can be found back at the power detection point.

[0078] The screening unit screens one inspection aircraft 1 closest to the fault aircraft for positioning of the fault aircraft according to the inspected state of the inspection aircraft 1, and screens two inspection aircrafts 1 closest to the fault aircraft for positioning of the fault aircraft and detection of the power line not detected by the corresponding fault aircraft according to the un-inspected state of the inspection aircraft 1.

[0079] In the above embodiment, if the inspection aircraft 1 has detected the power detection point, the screening unit only needs to screen one inspection aircraft 1 closest to the fault aircraft to find back the fault aircraft. If the fault aircraft has not detected the power detection point, the screening unit needs to screen two inspection aircrafts 1 closest to the fault aircraft to find back the fault aircraft and detect the power detection point.

[0080] In the application process of the embodiment, the closest inspection aircraft 1 may be in the detection process or on the way to detection. In addition to using distance as a standard for screening the inspection aircraft 1, the time required for the current position of the inspection aircraft 1 in the current area to reach the position of the fault aircraft or the position of the corresponding power detection point of the fault aircraft after completing its own detection task can also be calculated, and the inspection aircraft 1 with the shortest time is screened according to the length of the time.

[0081] The route allocation unit updates the circuit inspection route allocated to the corresponding inspection aircraft 1 according to the screening result based on the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft, and the control unit sends a stop flying signal to the inspection aircraft 1 according to the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft.

[0082] After the screening inspection aircraft 1 completes detection, a new circuit inspection route is allocated to the inspection aircraft 1, so that the inspection aircraft 1 flies to the fault aircraft and the power detection point of the fault aircraft which is not detected, in order to avoid that the fault aircraft is out of communication after failure and cannot understand the action track of the fault aircraft, the inspection aircraft 1 sends a stop flying signal when the inspection aircraft 1 fails, in the case that the fault aircraft can receive the signal, the fault aircraft stops flying, in the case that the fault aircraft cannot receive the signal, the fault aircraft can be found back according to the original route, in the case that the fault aircraft fails to walk according to the original route and cannot receive the signal, the fault aircraft is extremely likely to be lost, therefore, the inspection aircraft 1 sends a stop flying signal when the inspection aircraft 1 fails, which further reduces the loss of the fault aircraft.

[0083] The application provides a communication method of a power line inspection system, comprising the following steps,

[0084] Step 100, power detection points are input, and a power inspection route is allocated to the inspection aircraft 1 according to the power detection points;

[0085] Step 200, the inspection aircraft 1 flies to the power detection points according to the allocated power inspection route, and is fixed on the power line 3, and returns to the original route after detection is completed;

[0086] Step 300, operation data of the inspection aircraft 1 are monitored in real time, and are uploaded and verified and analyzed to obtain the working state of the inspection aircraft 1;

[0087] Step 400, based on the abnormal working state of the inspection aircraft 1, relevant positioning data and detection data are extracted to analyze the fault occurrence position and the fault occurrence state of the inspection aircraft 1, and the fault aircraft is urgently braked;

[0088] Step 500, at least one inspection aircraft 1 in a power line distribution area is screened and gathered;

[0089] Step 600, based on the screening result, a circuit inspection route allocated to the corresponding inspection aircraft 1 is updated, so that the positioning of the fault aircraft and the detection of the power line which is not detected by the corresponding fault aircraft are completed.

[0090] In summary, the specific implementation process of the application is as follows:

[0091] I. The inspection process of the inspection aircraft 1 is as follows:

[0092] The inspection aircraft 1 flies according to the specified route: the detection input end inputs the power detection points, and the route allocation unit allocates corresponding power inspection routes to the inspection aircraft according to the power detection points;
