[0002] At present, there are two main ways to inspect power transmission lines: one is the traditional manual inspection, where professionals carry necessary inspection tools to conduct on-site inspections of power transmission lines; the other is the inspection technology based on drones, which use drones to carry sensors such as cameras to conduct non-contact inspections of power transmission lines. Among them, drone inspection technology has gradually gained popularity due to its high efficiency and flexibility.

Most drone inspection systems lack effective image recognition and analysis capabilities, making it impossible to monitor the status of transmission lines in real time, and unable to respond promptly when problems are discovered.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for autonomous line-simulating flight inspection of a transmission line side is provided for an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1As shown, the method includes:
[0028] 101. Receive first location information of a flying device and second location information of a target power transmission line;
[0029] In this step, the system first needs to obtain two key location information:
[0030] The first location information of the flying device refers to the exact geographical location of the drone or other aircraft at the moment, which is usually determined by the global positioning system or other positioning technologies.
[0031] The second location information of the target transmission line refers to the specific location data of the transmission line that needs to be inspected, including the starting point, end point and key node locations along the line. This information can be obtained through map data, geographic information system and other means.
[0032] The acquisition of these two position information is the basis for subsequent flight path planning and ensuring that the aircraft can fly safely along the power transmission line. With accurate position information, the system can calculate the optimal flight path to ensure that the aircraft always stays within a safe distance from the side of the power transmission line during the inspection process.
[0033] The present application takes into account that in the existing power transmission line inspection technology, the acquisition of the location information of the flight equipment and the location information of the target power transmission line often relies on manual input or simple positioning equipment. This method has the following problems: the manually input location information is prone to errors and has low accuracy, which may cause the flight equipment to deviate from the predetermined inspection path. The existing positioning technology cannot update the location of the flight equipment in real time, resulting in position deviations during the flight process, affecting the accuracy and safety of the inspection. Relying solely on simple positioning equipment cannot provide detailed geographic information of the transmission line, such as the latitude and longitude coordinates of the starting point, end point, and intermediate support point of the line, which limits the accuracy of path planning and the comprehensiveness of the inspection. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a further optional solution, which obtains the current location coordinates of the flight equipment in real time through the global positioning system or the Beidou satellite navigation system, and uses the geographic information system database or the pre-built digital map of the power transmission line to determine the geographic location information of the target power transmission line. This solution aims to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of the location information and ensure that the flight equipment can be inspected accurately and safely.
[0034] The options are as follows:
[0035] Optionally, the receiving of the first position information of the flying device and the second position information of the target transmission line in step 101 includes: acquiring the current position coordinates of the flying device in real time through a global positioning system or a Beidou satellite navigation system as the first position information of the flying device; and determining the geographical location information of the target transmission line, including the latitude and longitude coordinates of the starting point, end point, and intermediate support points of the line, using a geographic information system database or a pre-built digital map of transmission lines, as the second position information of the target transmission line.
[0036] In this step, Global Positioning System: A satellite navigation system that provides precise geographic location information through satellite signals.
[0037] BeiDou Navigation Satellite System: A satellite navigation system independently developed by China that provides high-precision positioning services.
[0038] Geographic Information System: A system for capturing, managing, analyzing, and presenting geographic data.
[0039] Transmission line digital map: A digital map containing detailed geographic information of the transmission line, including the latitude and longitude coordinates of the starting point, end point, and intermediate support points of the line.
[0040] Global Positioning System or BeiDou Satellite Navigation System: The flight equipment is equipped with a GPS or BDS receiver, which can receive satellite signals in real time and calculate the latitude and longitude coordinates of the current location.
[0041] Current location coordinates: The exact geographic location of the flight device at a certain moment, usually expressed as latitude and longitude coordinates (longitude, latitude).
[0042] Geographic Information System Database: A database that stores detailed geographic information of power transmission lines, which can query the longitude and latitude coordinates of the starting point, end point, and intermediate support points of the line.
[0043] Transmission Line Digital Map: A pre-built digital map containing detailed geographic information of transmission lines, which can provide high-precision line path data.
[0044] Geographic location information: the latitude and longitude coordinates of the starting point, end point, and intermediate support points of the transmission line, which are used for path planning and navigation.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that a power transmission line located in a mountainous area needs to be inspected. The starting point of the power transmission line is A (longitude: 116.4074, latitude: 39.9042), the end point is B (longitude: 116.4174, latitude: 39.9142), and there are several supporting points in the middle, and the longitude and latitude coordinates of each supporting point are known.
[0046] The flight device is equipped with a GPS receiver, which receives satellite signals in real time and calculates the longitude and latitude coordinates of the current position. Assume that the initial position of the flight device is C (longitude: 116.4070, latitude: 39.9040).
[0047] Using the GIS database or the pre-built digital map of the power transmission line, query the longitude and latitude coordinates of the starting point A, the end point B and the intermediate support point of the power transmission line. For example, the intermediate support point D (longitude: 116.4124, latitude: 39.9092).
[0048] By using the global positioning system or Beidou satellite navigation system to obtain the current position coordinates of the flying device in real time, and using the geographic information system database or the pre-built digital map of the transmission line to determine the geographic location information of the target transmission line, this solution achieves the following beneficial effects: the high-precision positioning service provided by the global positioning system or Beidou satellite navigation system ensures the accuracy of the flying device's location information, and the real-time updated location information enables the flying device to fly more accurately along the predetermined path. Using the detailed geographic information provided by the geographic information system database or the digital map of the transmission line, the system can plan the flight path more accurately, ensuring that the flying device always stays within a safe distance range on the side of the transmission line during the inspection process. The detailed geographic location information enables the system to fully cover all parts of the transmission line, ensuring that the inspection is complete and improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection.
[0049] In summary, the optional solution proposed in the embodiment of the present invention effectively solves the problems of insufficient positioning accuracy, poor real-time performance and incomplete data in the prior art, and improves the efficiency and safety of transmission line inspection.
[0050] 102. Planning a flight path along the transmission line according to the first position information and the second position information, so as to ensure that the flying device can fly autonomously within a safe distance range on the side of the transmission line;
[0051] In this step, the system will use the previously acquired location information of the flight equipment and the target transmission line to plan the flight path. The specific process is as follows:
[0052] The system receives first location information of the flying device and second location information of the target power transmission line.
[0053] Use a path planning algorithm, combined with the direction of the transmission line and terrain data, to calculate an optimal flight path.
[0054] When planning a route, the system will set a safe distance range to ensure that the aircraft always maintains a certain safe distance from the power transmission line during flight. This safe distance can be adjusted according to the voltage level of the power transmission line, environmental factors and other factors.
[0055] Taking into account environmental factors such as wind speed and weather during actual flight, the system will further optimize the path to ensure that the flight equipment can complete the inspection task smoothly and efficiently.
[0056] Through this step, the system can generate a flight path that is consistent with the direction of the transmission line and ensures safety, laying the foundation for subsequent autonomous flight and inspection tasks.
[0057] The present application takes into account that in the existing power transmission line inspection technology, the flight path planning of the flight equipment usually relies on a simple straight path or a manually set path. This method has the following problems: simple path planning cannot fully consider the actual direction of the transmission line and terrain changes, which may cause the flight equipment to deviate from the predetermined path. The manually set path is difficult to ensure that the flight equipment always stays within the safe distance range of the side of the transmission line during the inspection process, and it is easy to cause safety accidents such as collisions. The existing path planning method fails to fully consider the dynamic factors such as the flight speed and wind speed of the flight equipment, affecting the stability and safety of the flight. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a further optional solution, by applying a path planning algorithm, combined with dynamic factors such as the flight speed and wind speed of the flight equipment, a series of discrete points along the direction of the transmission line are calculated, ensuring that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains at least a preset safety distance from the transmission line. This solution is intended to improve the accuracy and safety of the flight path and ensure that the flight equipment can complete the inspection task efficiently and safely.
[0058] The options are as follows:
[0059] Optionally, the step 102 of planning a flight path along the direction of the transmission line based on the first position information and the second position information to ensure that the flying device can maintain autonomous flight within a safe distance range on the side of the transmission line, includes: based on the first position information and the second position information, applying a path planning algorithm to determine the relative position relationship between the flying device and the target transmission line; based on the relative position relationship and the acquired flight speed and wind speed of the flying device, calculating a series of discrete points along the direction of the transmission line to form a flight path along the direction of the transmission line; wherein, in the process of calculating a series of discrete points along the direction of the transmission line, it is ensured that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains at least a preset safety distance from the transmission line, and the preset safety distance includes the minimum safety distance between the flying device and the transmission line.
[0060] In this step, path planning algorithm: an algorithm used to calculate the optimal path, common ones include A-Star algorithm, Dijkstra algorithm, etc.
[0061] Relative position relationship: The spatial position relationship between the flight equipment and the target transmission line, including distance and direction.
[0062] Discrete points: A series of points on a path that describe the flight trajectory of a flying device.
[0063] Preset safety distance: The minimum safety distance that must be maintained between the flight equipment and the power transmission line to ensure flight safety.
[0064] First location information: the current location coordinates of the flight device.
[0065] Second location information: geographical location information of the target transmission line, including the latitude and longitude coordinates of the starting point, end point and intermediate support points.
[0066] Path planning algorithm: Select a suitable path planning algorithm to calculate the relative position relationship between the flight equipment and the transmission line based on the location information of the flight equipment and the transmission line.
[0067] Relative position relationship: Determine the position of the flight equipment relative to the transmission line.
[0068] Flight speed: The current flight speed of the aircraft.
[0069] Wind speed: The current wind speed in the environment, which affects the flight trajectory of the aircraft.
[0070] Discrete points: A series of points calculated by the path planning algorithm that make up the flight path.
[0071] In the process of calculating a series of discrete points along the transmission line, it is ensured that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains at least a preset safety distance from the transmission line, wherein the preset safety distance includes a minimum safety distance between the flight device and the transmission line:
[0072] Preset safety distance: The minimum safety distance set according to the voltage level of the transmission line and environmental factors.
[0073] Discrete point location: Ensure that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains at least a preset safety distance from the transmission line.
[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that a transmission line needs to be inspected. The starting point of the transmission line is A (longitude: 116.4074, latitude: 39.9042), the end point is B (longitude: 116.4174, latitude: 39.9142), there are several support points in the middle, and the longitude and latitude coordinates of each support point are known. The initial position of the flying device is C (longitude: 116.4070, latitude: 39.9040), the flying speed is 10m / s, and the current wind speed is 2m / s.
[0075] Using the A-Star algorithm, the relative position relationship between the flying device and the transmission line is calculated based on the current position C of the flying device and the longitude and latitude coordinates of the starting point A, the end point B and the intermediate support points of the transmission line.
[0076] According to the relative position relationship, flight speed (10m / s) and wind speed (2m / s), a series of discrete points along the transmission line are calculated. Assuming that a discrete point is set every 10 meters, ensure that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains a preset safety distance of at least 5 meters from the transmission line.
[0077] The location of each discrete point is verified to ensure that its distance from the transmission line is greater than or equal to 5 meters. For example, the first discrete point D1 (longitude: 116.4075, latitude: 39.9043), the second discrete point D2 (longitude: 116.4080, latitude: 39.9046), and so on, until the last discrete point Dn (longitude: 116.4175, latitude: 39.9143).
[0078] By applying the path planning algorithm, taking into account the relative position relationship between the flight equipment and the transmission line, the flight speed, the wind speed and other factors, a series of discrete points along the transmission line are calculated. This solution achieves the following beneficial effects: The path planning algorithm ensures the accuracy of the relative position relationship between the flight equipment and the transmission line, allowing the flight equipment to fly along the transmission line more accurately. Dynamic factors such as flight speed and wind speed are taken into account to make the flight path more stable and predictable, improving the safety and reliability of the flight. By calculating the position of each discrete point, it is ensured that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains at least a preset safety distance from the transmission line, effectively avoiding the risk of collision between the flight equipment and the transmission line.
[0079] In summary, the optional solution proposed in the embodiment of the present invention effectively solves the problems existing in the prior art of insufficient path planning accuracy, inadequate consideration of dynamic factors and difficulty in ensuring a safe distance, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of transmission line inspection.
[0080] The present application takes into account that in the existing power transmission line inspection technology, the planning of the flight path mainly focuses on the optimization of the path itself, while less consideration is given to the optimal flight speed and flight altitude of the flight equipment. This single path planning method has the following problems: the fixed flight speed and altitude may not adapt to different environmental conditions, such as wind speed, temperature changes, etc., resulting in low flight efficiency or increased flight safety risks. The existing path planning method usually does not consider the impact of dynamic environmental factors such as wind speed and temperature on the flight, which may lead to the instability and unpredictability of the flight path. Failure to adjust the flight speed and altitude according to real-time environmental conditions may cause the flight efficiency of the flight equipment to be low in some cases, extending the inspection time. In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present invention proposes a further optional solution, by calculating the optimal flight speed and flight altitude of the flight equipment, comprehensively considering the real-time distance between the flight equipment and the transmission line, wind speed, temperature and other dynamic factors, so as to optimize the flight path and improve flight efficiency and safety.
[0081] The options are as follows:
[0082] Optionally, the step 102 of planning a flight path along the transmission line according to the first position information and the second position information further includes:
[0083] Calculating the optimal flight speed and flight altitude of the flying device to plan a flight path along the transmission line;
[0084] The optimal flight speed and flight altitude of the flight device are calculated by the following formula:
[0085]
[0086] Where v(t) represents the flight speed of the flight equipment at time t, h(t) represents the flight altitude of the flight equipment at time t, v0 is the basic flight speed, H0 is the basic flight altitude, D(t) is the real-time flight distance between the flight equipment and the transmission line, T is the expected flight time, ΔW(t) is the difference between the actual wind speed at time t and the basic wind speed W0, ΔT a (t) is the difference between the actual air temperature at time t and the base temperature T a0 The difference, H max is the maximum flight altitude, k1, k2, k3, k4, k5, k6, k7, k8, k9, k 10 are the adjustment coefficients of the corresponding parameters respectively, P is the sine wave period in flight speed adjustment, Q is the cosine wave period in flight speed adjustment, R is the sine wave period in flight altitude adjustment, and S is the cosine wave period in flight altitude adjustment.
[0087] In this step, the optimal flight speed v represents the optimal flight speed that the flight device can reach under the current environmental conditions; the optimal flight altitude h represents the optimal flight altitude that the flight device can maintain under the current environmental conditions; the basic flight speed v0 represents the basic flight speed of the flight device under standard environmental conditions; the basic flight altitude H0 represents the basic flight altitude of the flight device under standard environmental conditions; the real-time flight distance D(t) represents the real-time distance between the flight device and the transmission line; the expected flight time T represents the expected flight time from the starting point to the end point; the current wind speed W(t) represents the wind speed of the current environment; the basic wind speed W0 represents the basic wind speed under standard environmental conditions; the current air temperature T a (t) represents the current ambient air temperature; the base temperature T a0 Indicates the base temperature under standard ambient conditions; the maximum flight altitude H max Indicates the maximum allowable flight altitude of the flight equipment; adjustment coefficients k1, k2, k3, k4, k5, k6, k7, k8, k9, k 10 Represents the coefficient used to adjust the flight speed and altitude; the speed and altitude adjustment period P, Q, R, S are the periodic parameters used to adjust the flight speed and altitude.
[0088] The optimal flight speed v(t) is calculated by the following formula:
[0089]
[0090] The optimal flight altitude h(t) is calculated by the following formula:
[0091]
[0092] After calculating the optimal flight speed and altitude, combined with the relative position relationship between the flight equipment and the transmission line, a path planning algorithm (such as the A-Star algorithm) is applied to determine a series of discrete points along the transmission line to form an optimal flight path.
[0093] In the above technical scheme, P is the sine wave period in the flight speed adjustment, Q is the cosine wave period in the flight speed adjustment, R is the sine wave period in the flight altitude adjustment, and S is the cosine wave period in the flight altitude adjustment; taking the cosine wave period in the Q flight speed adjustment as an example: the embodiment of the present application refers to the cosine waveform period adjustment method of the flight speed when adjusting the flight speed, that is, the use of a cosine waveform can make the speed change smoother and avoid sudden changes, thereby improving the stability and safety of the flight.
[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, it is assumed that a power transmission line needs to be inspected. The starting point of the power transmission line is A (longitude: 116.4074, latitude: 39.9042), the end point is B (longitude: 116.4174, latitude: 39.9142), and there are several support points in the middle. The longitude and latitude coordinates of each support point are known. The initial position of the flight equipment is C (longitude: 116.4070, latitude: 39.9040), the basic flight speed v0 is 10m / s, the basic flight altitude H0 is 30 meters, the basic wind speed W0 is 2m / s, and the basic temperature T a0 At 25°C, the maximum flight altitude is H max The estimated flight time T is 30 minutes.
[0095] Calculate the optimal flight speed:
[0096] Assume that the real-time flight distance D(t) between the current flight equipment and the power transmission line is 100 meters, the current wind speed W(t) is 3m / s, and the current air temperature T a (t) is 28°C, adjustment coefficients k1=0.1, k2=0.2, k3=0.1, k4=0.05, k5=0.05, speed adjustment period P=60 seconds, speed adjustment period Q=60 seconds.
[0097] Calculation formula:
[0098]
[0099] Assume t = 0 seconds, calculate the result:
[0100] v(0)=10.16756m / s
[0101] Calculate the optimal flight altitude:
[0102] Assume that the adjustment coefficients k6 = 0.1, k7 = 0.2, k8 = 0.1, k9 = 0.05, k 10 =0.05, height adjustment cycle R = 120 seconds, S = 180 seconds.
[0103] Calculation formula:
[0104]
[0105]
[0106] 10.1176m / s and the optimal flight altitude h(0)=30.362m, as well as the relative position relationship between the flight equipment and the transmission line, a series of discrete points along the transmission line are calculated to ensure that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains a safe distance of at least 5m from the transmission line.
[0107] By calculating the optimal flight speed and altitude of the flight equipment, and comprehensively considering the real-time distance between the flight equipment and the transmission line, wind speed, temperature and other dynamic factors, this solution achieves the following beneficial effects: the flight speed and altitude are adjusted according to the real-time environmental conditions, so that the flight equipment can fly in the optimal state, improving flight efficiency and shortening inspection time. The impact of dynamic factors such as wind speed and temperature on flight is taken into account, making the flight path more stable and predictable, and improving the safety and reliability of flight. By calculating the position of each discrete point, it is ensured that each discrete point is located on one side of the transmission line and maintains at least a preset safety distance from the transmission line, effectively avoiding the risk of collision between the flight equipment and the transmission line.
[0108] In summary, the optional solution proposed in the embodiment of the present invention effectively solves the problems existing in the prior art such as the incompatibility of flight speed and altitude, insufficient consideration of dynamic environmental factors and low flight efficiency, and improves the efficiency and safety of transmission line inspection.
[0109] 103. While the flying device is flying along the flight path, real-time multi-angle image data of the power transmission line and its surrounding environment are collected;
[0110] In this step, the flying device will fly along the previously planned flight path and collect multi-angle image data of the power transmission line and its surrounding environment in real time. The specific process is as follows:
[0111] The flying device starts autonomous flight according to the planned path.
[0112] The camera or other imaging equipment on the flying device will capture the power transmission line and its surrounding environment from multiple angles during the flight. These angles may include looking down, sideways, oblique, etc. to ensure that different parts of the power transmission line are fully covered.
[0113] The collected image data will be transmitted back to the ground control station in real time through the wireless communication module or stored in the local memory of the flight equipment for subsequent processing and analysis.
[0114] In addition to the transmission lines themselves, the flying equipment also collects information about the surrounding environment, such as vegetation, terrain, buildings, etc. This information helps to assess the operating environment and potential risks of the transmission lines.
[0115] Through this step, the system can obtain detailed image data of the transmission line and its surrounding environment, providing rich information support for subsequent intelligent analysis and abnormality detection. This not only improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the inspection, but also provides an important reference for subsequent maintenance work.
[0116] The present application takes into account that in the existing power transmission line inspection technology, the collection and analysis of image data mainly rely on simple cameras and basic image processing technology. This method has the following problems: traditional cameras can only capture images from a fixed angle, and cannot fully capture the status information of the transmission line, which may cause certain abnormal conditions to be missed.
