Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of power transmission equipment management, and in particular to a visual monitoring system for the working state of an insulator. Background Art

[0002] Insulators are devices installed between conductors of different potentials or between conductors and grounded components, and are able to withstand voltage and mechanical stress. Insulators are of various types and shapes. Although the structures and appearances of different types of insulators are quite different, they are all composed of two major parts: insulating parts and connecting fittings.

[0003] Insulators are a special type of insulating control that can play an important role in overhead transmission lines. In the early years, insulators were mostly used on utility poles. Gradually, they developed into high-voltage power lines. Many disc-shaped insulators were hung on one end of the tower to increase the creepage distance. They are usually made of glass or ceramics and are called insulators. Insulators should not fail due to various electromechanical stresses caused by changes in environmental and electrical load conditions, otherwise the insulators will not play a significant role and will damage the use and operating life of the entire line.

[0004] When spots appear on the porcelain glaze surface of the insulator, it will affect the normal working state of the insulator, and then cause abnormal discharge sound in the transmission line where the insulator is located. It can be seen that a linkage analysis mechanism from abnormal discharge sound to insulator porcelain glaze surface detection is needed to conduct on-site analysis of the working state of the insulator, thereby reducing system power consumption while ensuring the analysis effect of the insulator working state. Obviously, the existing technology lacks a corresponding intelligent monitoring mechanism. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a visual monitoring system for the working status of an insulator, which can trigger intelligent visual monitoring processing of whether there are spots on the surface of the insulator glaze only when abnormal discharge sound is detected in the transmission line environment where the insulator is located. The analysis accuracy at the pixel level improves the reliability and stability of the visual monitoring results, thereby improving the recognition effect of the working status of the insulator while avoiding wasting a large amount of system power consumption.

[0006] According to the present invention, a visual monitoring system for the working state of an insulator is provided, the system comprising:

[0007] A discharge detection device is arranged near the insulator porcelain part as a monitored object, and is used to sense the audio signal near the insulator porcelain part, and send out a discharge abnormality signal when there is an audio component in the audio signal whose frequency is not within the reference discharge frequency interval corresponding to the insulator porcelain part and the amplitude of the audio component exceeds the limit;

[0008] A dynamic monitoring device, connected to the discharge detection device, is used to perform visual monitoring processing on the environment where the enamel surface of the insulator porcelain part is located when receiving the discharge abnormality signal, so as to obtain and output a corresponding surface environment image;

[0009] A signal enhancement device, connected to the dynamic monitoring device, for performing a histogram equalization process based on a distribution function on the received surface environment map image to obtain and output a corresponding current enhanced image;

[0010] A clarity processing device, connected to the signal enhancement device, for performing geometric mean filtering on the received current enhanced image to obtain and output a corresponding clarity processed image;

[0011] A real-time filtering device, connected to the sharpening processing device, for performing adaptive recursive filtering on the received sharpening processed image to obtain and output a corresponding recursive filtered image;

[0012] an intelligent analysis device connected to the real-time filtering device, and used for receiving the recursive filtering image, identifying the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain in the recursive filtering image based on the reference shape pattern corresponding to the insulator porcelain, identifying the pixel points in the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain that match the grayscale value range of the glaze corresponding to the insulator porcelain based on the grayscale value range of the glaze corresponding to the insulator porcelain, and identifying the pixel points in the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain that do not match the grayscale value range of the glaze corresponding to the insulator porcelain, and when the ratio of the number of pixel points in the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain that do not match the grayscale value range of the glaze corresponding to the insulator porcelain exceeds or equals the set ratio limit to the total number of pixel points in the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain, a spot identification signal is issued, otherwise, a spot non-identification signal is issued;

[0013] The discharge detection device is further used to send a discharge normal signal when there is no audio component in the audio signal whose frequency is not within the reference discharge frequency interval corresponding to the insulator porcelain component.

[0014] Therefore, the present invention has the following outstanding technical effects:

[0015] Technical effect A: Based on the reference shape pattern corresponding to the insulator porcelain part, the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain part in the recursive filtering image obtained after the targeted optimization processing of the imaging image of the environment where the porcelain glaze surface of the insulator porcelain part is located is identified; based on the grayscale value range of the porcelain glaze corresponding to the insulator porcelain part, the pixel points that match the grayscale value range of the porcelain glaze corresponding to the insulator porcelain part in the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain part are identified, and the pixel points that do not match the grayscale value range of the porcelain glaze corresponding to the insulator porcelain part in the image area occupied by the insulator porcelain part are identified, thereby providing reliable information for the detection of spot existence on the porcelain glaze surface of the insulator porcelain part;

[0016] Technical effect B: When the ratio of the number of pixels that do not match the grayscale value range of the corresponding glaze of the insulator porcelain in the occupied image area of ​​the insulator porcelain to the total number of pixels in the occupied image area of ​​the insulator porcelain exceeds or equals to the set ratio limit, a spot identification signal is issued, otherwise, a spot non-identification signal is issued, thereby completing the intelligent detection of the existence of spots on the glaze surface of the insulator porcelain;

[0017] Technical effect C: Only when there is an audio component in the audio signal near the insulator porcelain part whose frequency is not within the reference discharge frequency range corresponding to the insulator porcelain part and the amplitude of the audio component exceeds the limit, the visual monitoring processing of the environment where the glaze surface of the insulator porcelain part is located is triggered, thereby reducing the operating power consumption of the entire detection system.

[0018] The visual monitoring system for the working state of the insulator of the present invention has compact logic and wide application. Since the intelligent visual monitoring process of whether there are spots on the surface of the insulator enamel is triggered only when the abnormal discharge sound is detected in the transmission line environment where the insulator is located, the analysis accuracy at the pixel level improves the reliability and stability of the visual monitoring results, thereby avoiding the waste of a large amount of system power consumption and improving the recognition effect of the working state of the insulator.
