Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to an on-site UAV control system. Background Art

[0002] Drones, owing to their flexibility, affordability, and low labor requirements, are widely used in the daily operation and maintenance of power transmission lines. Drone inspections have become a primary means of transmission line inspection for power grid companies. However, current inspections still rely primarily on manual drone operation, which is significantly affected by factors such as operator experience, skill level, and environmental fluctuations. This results in low inspection efficiency and quality. Furthermore, power grid companies initially intended to use drones to address the high shortage of inspection personnel. While drone inspections have reduced the number of inspectors required, they have significantly increased the skill requirements. This has limited the further development of drone inspections of power transmission lines. Furthermore, if operators are distracted or operate the drone improperly, the drone could collide with power facilities, potentially damaging the drone at best or even causing damage, potentially creating a dangerous situation.

[0003] Drones can generally be controlled using a variety of methods, including remote controls, mobile phone apps, and smart bracelets, with computer control also being one of them. To control a drone using a computer, you need to install the corresponding control software on your computer and connect the computer and drone via a data cable or wireless connection. The control software enables remote control of the drone, flight trajectory planning, and data transmission. Compared to manual control, computer-controlled flight of a drone group can ensure accurate routes and flight trajectories. However, for outdoor drone surveys, multiple drones are required. Even if the drone is controlled by a computer, it still needs to be manually moved to the predetermined takeoff point. This requires considerable time and manpower, impacting survey efficiency.
