Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wind turbine blade detection, and in particular to a wind turbine blade damage detection device. Background Art
[0002] As the global demand for renewable energy continues to grow, wind power generation, as a clean and renewable form of energy, has developed rapidly around the world. As a key component of wind turbines, the performance of wind turbine blades directly affects the efficiency and safety of wind power generation. Wind turbine blades are in complex and changeable environments for a long time, such as high wind speed, extreme temperature, humidity, salt spray, etc. These factors will cause varying degrees of damage to the blades. Common types of blade damage include fatigue damage, collision damage, corrosion damage, etc. These damages will not only affect the efficiency of wind power generation, but may even threaten the safe operation of wind turbines in severe cases. The use of drones to detect wind turbine blade damage mainly uses drones as flight platforms, equipped with high-definition cameras, infrared thermal imagers, lidars and other sensor equipment to conduct comprehensive and accurate digital monitoring of wind turbine blades. Through its flight capabilities, drones can observe the surface of blades at close range and from multiple angles, capturing subtle damage that is difficult to detect with the naked eye.
[0003] In the existing technology, it is difficult to integrate the three differentiated detection technologies of ultrasonic detection, visual detection and infrared detection to achieve high-precision identification and precise spatial positioning of wind turbine blade structural damage. This detection technology effectively overcomes the limitations of a single detection method in recognition accuracy and positioning accuracy, and significantly enhances the comprehensive efficiency of damage detection. However, the additional hardware equipment introduced by the above-mentioned detection technology directly increases the load of the drone, thereby increasing the energy consumption level. At the same time, the three detection methods run in parallel, further aggravating power consumption. The application of deep learning algorithms, as the core of the detection algorithm, is computationally intensive and also leads to a significant increase in energy consumption. It is difficult to ensure that the solar panels are aligned with the sun with the maximum effective area, that is, it is difficult to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency, which may affect the wind turbine blade damage detection. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a wind turbine blade damage detection device. Summary of the invention

[0043] The drone body 1 and the solar power supply module are arranged on the upper part of the drone body 1. A first angle control motor 2 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the drone body 1. A first rotating shaft 3 is arranged at the output end of the first angle control motor 2.

A high-definition camera 11 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the drone body 1. An infrared sensor 9 is fixedly connected to the drone body 1. An ultrasonic sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the drone body 1.
[0044] The working principle of a wind turbine blade damage detection device proposed by the present invention is that the real-time monitoring and feedback module transmits the detected data to the ground station or monitoring center in real time for timely processing and feedback, and when damage or abnormality is detected, the alarm system will notify the operator or system to take further action. When the angle of the solar panel 6 needs to be adjusted, the first angle control motor 2 is started, and the first angle control motor 2 drives the first rotating shaft 3 set at the output end to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 3 drives the fixedly connected fixed sleeve 4 to rotate. The fixed sleeve 4 is fixedly connected with a rotating sleeve 22 on one side close to the second angle control motor 5, and the rotating sleeve 22 and the first rotating shaft 3 are both rotatably connected to the worm 8;
[0045] That is, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 3 will drive the fixing sleeve 4 to tilt toward the side close to the infrared sensor 9 or away from the infrared sensor 9, and the rotation of the fixing sleeve 4 will drive the second rotating shaft 20 connected in rotation and the second connecting plate 21 fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 20 to tilt, that is, the second connecting plate 21 will drive the solar panel 6 fixedly connected on the upper part to tilt, that is, the tilt angle of the solar panel 6 can be adjusted, and when the second angle control motor 5 is started, the second angle control motor 5 will drive the worm 8 set at the output end to rotate, and the rotation of the worm 8 will cause the meshing turbine 7 to rotate, and the rotation of the turbine 7 will drive the fixedly connected second rotating shaft 20 to rotate;
[0046] The rotation of the second rotating shaft 20 will cause the fixedly connected second connecting plate 21 to tilt toward a position close to the high-definition camera 11 or away from the high-definition camera 11, and will drive the solar panel 6 to tilt toward a position close to the high-definition camera 11 or away from the high-definition camera 11, so that the angle of the solar panel 6 can be fully adjusted to provide power for the drone body 1, thereby ensuring the endurance of the drone body 1, and at the same time providing power for the detection algorithm and the three detection methods to run in parallel. Through the cooperation of the infrared sensor 9, the ultrasonic sensor 10, and the high-definition camera 11, multiple detection methods can be used simultaneously to achieve high-precision recognition and precise spatial positioning of wind turbine blade structural damage, effectively overcoming the limitations of a single detection method in recognition accuracy and positioning accuracy, and significantly enhancing the comprehensive effectiveness of damage detection.
[0047] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned first rotating shaft 3, the first rotating shaft 3 and the drone body 1 are rotationally connected, the worm 8 and the drone body 1 are rotationally connected, and the worm 8 and the first rotating shaft 3 are rotationally connected.

[0050] The working principle of a wind turbine blade damage detection device proposed in the present invention is that when the cylinder 16 is started, the cylinder 16 will cause the fixed block 17 set at the output end to drive the first telescopic plate 13 to slide, and when the first telescopic plate 13 slides to the inside of the second telescopic plate 14, it will drive the second telescopic plate 14 to slide to the inside of the third telescopic plate 15 at the same time, that is, the lengths of the first telescopic plate 13, the second telescopic plate 14 and the third telescopic plate 15 can be adjusted, and part of the direct sunlight can be blocked to make the light softer, thereby preventing the high-definition camera 11 from overexposure when collecting images and videos and causing loss of details.
[0051] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned first connecting plate 12, a cleaning control motor 19 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the first connecting plate 12, and a threaded rod 23 is provided at the output end of the cleaning control motor 19. The threaded rod 23 is rotationally connected to the drone body 1, and the threaded rod 23 is threadedly connected to a cleaning plate 24.

[0053] The working principle of a wind turbine blade damage detection device proposed in the present invention is to start the cleaning control motor 19, which will cause the threaded rod 23 set at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 23 will cause the threaded cleaning plate 24 to move up and down. When the cleaning plate 24 moves, it will drive multiple cleaning brushes 25 fixedly connected to one side of the high-definition camera 11 to move. When the cleaning brushes 25 move, they will have a cleaning effect on the surface of the high-definition camera 11, thereby ensuring the clarity of the high-definition camera 11 when collecting images and videos. The fixed rod 18 to which the cleaning plate 24 is slidably connected will keep the cleaning plate 24 stable when it moves.

[0056] The working principle of a wind turbine blade damage detection device proposed in the present invention is that the visual detection unit captures images or videos of the surface of the wind turbine blade through a high-definition camera 11, and processes and analyzes the acquired image data in real time, and finally detects and identifies damaged areas or abnormalities on the surface of the wind turbine blade; sends ultrasonic waves to the surface of the wind turbine blade through an ultrasonic sensor 10, processes and analyzes the received ultrasonic signals, and finally detects cracks or structural defects inside the blade; detects the temperature distribution on the surface of the wind turbine blade through an infrared sensor 9. When there is damage inside the wind turbine blade, the temperature distribution on the surface of the blade will change due to uneven heat conduction, and abnormal hot spots or temperature changes will be found, and finally the internal damage of the blade will be identified. The different modal information extracted by multiple detection methods is fully utilized to improve the detection accuracy, realize accurate identification of surface damage and internal damage of the wind turbine blade, and realize three-dimensional imaging and damage positioning through phased array ultrasonic detection.
[0057] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned data fusion and analysis module, the data fusion and analysis module uses the YOLO model to fuse the information collected by different detection units. The specific steps of the YOLO model fusing the information collected by different detection units are:
[0058] Data preprocessing: Collect the raw data of wind turbine blades from different detection units, remove noise, outliers and duplicate data from the raw data, standardize the data of different detection units to the same size, and then mark them, that is, select the annotation box containing the damage and mark the damage type;
[0059] YOLO model training: The preprocessed ultrasonic, visual and infrared image data are synthesized into a data set, which is then split into training set, validation set and test set in proportion. The training set is used to train the constructed YOLO model, and the validation set data is used to perform parameter optimization operations to find the optimal YOLO model.

[0061] The working principle of a wind turbine blade damage detection device proposed in the present invention is that data preprocessing screens out images with higher quality and better clarity from the collected images, removes blurred, repeated or irrelevant images, and performs enhancement processing on the screened images, such as contrast adjustment and sharpening, so as to improve the visual effect of the image and the accuracy of feature extraction. During the training process of the YOLO model, the detection accuracy and generalization ability of the model can be improved by adjusting model parameters, optimizing algorithms, etc. When evaluating the YOLO model, it is necessary to check whether the performance indicators of the model, such as detection accuracy and recall rate, meet the requirements. When the deployed YOLO model is used to perform damage detection on the wind turbine blade image, the model will automatically identify the damaged area in the image and mark the corresponding category and confidence.
