Traditionally, the grounding of high-voltage lines relies on manual operations, which is not only time-consuming but also extremely risky, especially in adverse weather conditions. Workers must operate equipment at high altitudes, taking safety risks caused by improper operation or environmental factors.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the control components include:
[0071] Environmental sensing module 100: responsible for collecting environmental data in real time, such as wind speed and direction, and transmitting the data to the decision model. These data help the system adapt to different environmental conditions and select the best operation mode.
[0072] Automatic driving decision module 110: Based on the data provided by the environment sensing module, automatically generate and adjust the route and speed of the inspection robot to ensure the safety and efficiency of the inspection robot in complex environments.
[0073] The forward operating condition diagram acquisition module 120 is used to acquire the position information of the inspection robot and the operating condition diagram during the driving process.

[0078] Based on inspection robots, such as Figure 3 As shown, a control method of an inspection robot is disclosed, comprising:
[0079] Step S1: Obtain the location information of the inspection robot.
[0080] Step S101: Input the position information of the inspection robot and establish a multi-coordinate system.
[0081] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the multi-coordinate system based on binocular vision includes: the base disk center coordinate system , Tire coordinate system , Center coordinate system of grounding pole , Camera coordinate system (left camera coordinate system and the right camera coordinate system ), image coordinate system (left image coordinate system and the right image coordinate system ) and pixel coordinate system (left pixel coordinate system and right pixel coordinate system ).
[0082] Step S102: constructing a conversion position relationship between different coordinate systems;
[0083] Through calibration, the relative translation position information between the base disk center coordinate system and the right camera coordinate system is obtained: .
[0084] Through calibration, the relative translation position information between the tire coordinate system (at the initial position of the right front wheel) and the right camera coordinate system is obtained: .
[0085] The relative translation position information of the tire coordinate system (at the initial position of the right front wheel) and the center coordinate system of the high-voltage grounding pole (at the initial position of the high-voltage grounding pole) is obtained through measurement: .
[0086] In some embodiments, the conversion relationship between each coordinate system in a multi-coordinate system based on binocular vision can be obtained through the binocular imaging principle and necessary position information.
[0087] A series of points on the high-voltage line observed by the binocular vision system. These points are in the right camera coordinate system (O cr ) is the coordinate in , in the left camera coordinate system (O cl ) is the coordinate in , through the principle of binocular vision, we can calculate the depth Z of these points in the world coordinate system. The specific calculation formula is: .
[0088] Where f is the focal length of the camera, B is the baseline distance between the two cameras, and x cr and x cl are the horizontal coordinates of the point on the image plane of the right camera and the left camera respectively.
[0089] Step S103: convert the observed three-dimensional coordinates of the high-voltage line point into a unified reference coordinate system, such as the base disk center coordinate system ( b ).
[0090] We use the right camera coordinate system as the reference to transform the coordinates to the base disk center coordinate system. Assuming that the transformation matrix R and translation vector T from the right camera coordinate system to the base disk center coordinate system are known, let is the point coordinate in the right camera coordinate system, and is the coordinate of the point in the center coordinate system of the base disk.
[0091] The conversion relationship can be expressed as:
[0092] ;
[0093] Where R is a 3x3 rotation matrix representing the rotation between the coordinate axes, and T is a 3x1 translation vector representing the displacement between the coordinate origins.
[0094] Therefore, the coordinates of point P in the coordinate system of the center of the base disk are b It can be calculated by the following formula:
[0095] ;
[0096] Furthermore, the three-dimensional coordinates of the high-voltage wire measured point obtained by binocular vision principle are converted into the grounding wire pole coordinate system. .
[0097] Step S104: The relative position information between the transformed three-dimensional coordinates of the measured point of the high-voltage power line and the central coordinate system of the high-voltage grounding wire pole (at the initial position of the high-voltage grounding wire pole) is obtained by measurement: .
[0098] S2: Collect environmental data about wind speed and direction through environmental sensors and transmit these data to the control component.
[0099] Based on the environmental data, the automatic driving decision model evaluates the current operating environment status and selects the best ground operation mode. The decision model is initialized, and historical data and preset parameters are loaded to assist in path and strategy generation.
[0100] S3: Use a binocular camera system to capture real-time images on the forward path and identify the precise location and contour information of the high-voltage wires on the path.
[0101] This step specifically includes:
[0102] The images of high-voltage lines are processed by edge detection, line detection and texture analysis to realize automatic recognition of high-voltage lines. The high-resolution camera on the inspection robot is used to capture real-time images on the forward path. The image processing technology is used to identify the high-voltage lines and their contour information in the image. The image recognition technology is applied to adapt to various lighting and weather conditions to ensure accurate recognition and positioning of high-voltage lines.
[0103] S4: According to the position information of the inspection robot, the forward working condition diagram, the position information of the high-voltage line, using the real-time environmental data and the deflection model of the high-voltage line, plan the optimal travel path of the inspection robot and its running speed and direction.
[0104] This step specifically includes:
[0105] According to the location of the high-voltage line and the surrounding environment information, the path planning algorithm is used to plan the inspection robot's travel path.
[0106] According to the path planning results and real-time feedback, the inspection robot generates motion trajectory information. Then, the inspection robot automatically navigates and adjusts the speed and direction in real time according to the trajectory information. The generated motion trajectory information is transmitted to each controller in real time, including the tire controller, rotating base controller, telescopic rod controller and guide rail controller.
[0107] S5: According to the optimal travel path of the inspection robot, the inspection robot is automatically driven to the bottom of the high-voltage line and a certain safety distance is controlled.
[0108] S6: In the coarse adjustment stage, the controller adjusts the tire deflection angle to move the inspection robot under the high-voltage line and maintain a certain safety distance. The high-voltage line profile information obtained by the binocular camera system is combined with the environmental sensor data to update the mathematical model parameters describing the deflection of the high-voltage line using the least squares method.
[0109] Specifically, the least square method is used to update the mathematical model parameters describing the deflection of the high-voltage line, including:
[0110] The three-dimensional coordinates of the observed high-voltage line points are converted into a unified reference coordinate system (the base disk center coordinate system ( b ), we use the coordinates of these points in the base disk center coordinate system to fit the quadratic regression model of the high voltage line , the model can capture the nonlinear characteristics of the high-voltage line deflection changing with position, where a, b and c are model parameters that need to be obtained through data fitting.
[0111] The least square method is used to estimate the model parameters. The X and Y values in the coordinate system of the base disk center are used as input data for regression analysis, where Y represents the vertical displacement of the high-voltage line corresponding to the X position and X represents the corresponding horizontal position.
[0112] Suppose we have a set of data points , by finding the parameters a, b and c, the total squared error between the deflection predicted by the model and the actual observed deflection is minimized. The sum of squared errors S is defined as:
[0113] ;
[0114] To find the parameters a, b, and c that minimize S, we need to calculate the partial derivatives of S with respect to each parameter and set these derivatives to 0.
[0115]
[0116] The above three equations can be organized into a matrix form, usually called a normal equation system, assuming:
[0117]
[0118] Normal equations:
[0119]
[0120] Solving this system of equations, we can get the optimal solutions for a, b and c.
[0121] Environmental sensor data include wind speed and direction (collected in real time by an anemometer and wind vane installed on the device) and air pressure (collected by an air pressure sensor for calculating air density and wind load).
[0122] The wind speed, wind direction and air pressure data collected in real time are input into the decision-making model to evaluate the environmental conditions of the transmission line. Combined with the environmental data, the least squares method is used to fit the newly collected data and adjust the deflection model parameters a, b and c in real time.
[0123] Under the initial environmental data, the collected (x, y) data points are used to calculate the initial model parameters A, B, and C by the least squares method. The anemometer detects an increase in wind speed and the wind vane detects a change in wind direction. These environmental data are transmitted to the control system in real time via wireless transmission. The control system calculates the impact of these changes on the deflection of the transmission line based on the new environmental data. Assume that the newly collected (x, y) data point is (x i ,y i ), use the newly collected data points to re-perform the least squares fitting and solve the new model parameters a1, b1, c1.
[0124] During driving, the image acquisition component on the device collects a picture of the transmission line once a second, identifies the outline of the transmission line in the picture, and obtains preliminary positioning data. The least squares method is used for preliminary modeling to obtain preliminary deflection model parameters. When the device moves under the transmission line, the image acquisition component continues to collect a picture of the transmission line once a second, identifies the outline of the transmission line in the picture, obtains accurate positioning data, and uses the least squares method to further optimize the preliminary model. By inputting multiple sets of collected data into the least squares model, the sum of squares of the error between the predicted deflection and the actual deflection is minimized, the model parameters that best match the actual data are determined, and finally an accurate deflection model is obtained.
[0125] When calculating the maximum vertical deflection that a transmission line may reach in the wind, it is equivalent to solving the maximum vertical deflection of a simply supported beam under a uniformly distributed load. In addition, the influence of wind load on the transmission line is considered:
[0126] Total wind load calculation formula
[0127]
[0128] is the air density;
[0129] is the drag coefficient, which usually ranges from 0.6 to 1.2;
[0130] is the windward area of the transmission line (in m 2 );
[0131] is the wind speed (in m / s);
[0132] Total load per unit length of transmission line:
[0133]
[0134] W is the deadweight per unit length (in N / m);
[0135] W w is the wind load per unit length, calculated as ;
[0136] Maximum vertical deflection The deflection formula of a simply supported beam under uniformly distributed load can be used to calculate:
[0137]
[0138] L is the span of the transmission line (in meters);
[0139] E is the Young's modulus of the material (in Pa);
[0140] I is the moment of inertia of the area (in m 4 ).
[0141] S7: After the rough adjustment phase is completed, the fine adjustment phase is started. By updating the mathematical model parameters of the high-voltage line deflection in real time, the height threshold is set to control the telescopic rod to start rising. In addition, the front and rear thresholds are set by the sensor to control the rotation of the telescopic rod and the movement of the guide rail to adjust the position and angle of the grounding wire rod.
[0142] Height thresholds include:
[0143] The vertical deflection model of the high-voltage line is updated based on the real-time captured image data using the least squares method. The maximum vertical deflection that the high-voltage line may reach in the wind is calculated, and a predetermined safety margin is added to determine the height threshold.
[0144] The front and back thresholds include:
[0145] The laser rangefinder sensor is used to monitor the forward and backward swing distance of the high-voltage line in real time. The maximum possible forward and backward swing distance is dynamically calculated according to environmental conditions (such as wind speed and direction), and the threshold distance of the forward and backward swing is set to ±20% of the maximum swing distance calculated in real time.
[0146] The inspection robot moves under the transmission line and monitors the real-time maximum forward and backward swing distance of the transmission line in real time through the laser rangefinder sensor. Based on the measured data, the system automatically calculates and sets a safe grounding level interval, which is the real-time maximum forward and backward swing distance plus a preset safety margin (20 cm). When it is detected that the distance between the hanging component and the transmission line is less than the safe grounding level interval, the control system will immediately trigger an alarm. At this time, the control system will dynamically adjust the moving direction of the walking component and increase the distance between the hanging component and the transmission line until it returns to the safe grounding level interval. When the distance between the hanging component and the transmission line reaches the safe grounding level interval, the control system will stop the movement of the walking component and start the hanging operation.
[0147] Using the mathematical model of high-voltage line deflection updated in real time using the least squares method, the system dynamically sets the threshold distance, uses the distance measured in real time between the inspection robot and the high-voltage line, and compares it with the preset threshold distance to decide whether to adjust the path and speed. If the actual distance is less than the threshold distance, the system will automatically slow down or adjust the path to increase the distance between the two, otherwise it will speed up or optimize the path to improve efficiency. The system dynamically adjusts the threshold distance based on real-time environmental data (such as wind speed and direction).
[0148] S8: When the high-voltage line is stable within the threshold range, the inspection robot performs the grounding operation.
[0149] After aligning the high-voltage line, perform the grounding operation. After the grounding operation is completed, the operation results and status data are transmitted back to the control center in real time. The system automatically detects the connection status of the grounding wire rod and confirms whether the grounding operation is successful. If it is detected that the grounding is unsuccessful or there is a problem, the inspection robot will readjust and perform the grounding operation until the grounding is successful. After confirming that the grounding is successful, loosen the grounding wire rod, record the operation data, and check the system status to prepare for the next operation.
[0150] S9: After the grounding operation is completed, the system uses the image processing edge detection algorithm to analyze the contact between the grounding wire rod and the high-voltage wire. If the image analysis shows that the contact between the grounding wire rod and the high-voltage wire is complete, the system regards this as a successful grounding operation. If it is detected that the grounding is not successful or there is a problem, the system automatically repeats step S7 until the grounding is successful.
[0151] The high-voltage line profile information is collected at the set sampling frequency, and the trajectory information of the high-voltage line in the wind is monitored in real time. The connection point image of the grounding wire rod and the high-voltage line is captured by the binocular camera system. Image processing edge detection and pattern recognition algorithms are used to analyze whether the grounding wire rod is correctly installed on the high-voltage line.
[0152] If the image analysis shows that the contact between the grounding wire rod and the high-voltage wire is complete, forming a continuous, uninterrupted edge line, the system regards this as a successful grounding.
