Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of X-ray detection of crimped tubes, and in particular to an X-ray detection system and an autonomous detection method for crimped tubes of power transmission lines. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] The transmission line crimping tube reinforcement splicing strip (reinforcement wire) is an auxiliary hardware used to enhance the splicing effect of transmission line conductors. During use, when two conductors need to be spliced, the corresponding connector needs to be installed in the splicing tube (crimping tube). Then, the reinforcement splicing strip is passed through the connector to make it fit tightly with the conductor to be spliced. In this way, the reinforcement splicing strip can provide additional support and fixation to prevent loosening or displacement at the splice.

[0004] On the "three spans" (across highways, railways, and important lines), the connection of the conductors will be reinforced by installing reinforcing wires. Although the proportion is not high, it is a must-check item. The reinforcing wire begins to wrap a distance before the crimping tube, forks upward at the front end of the crimping tube, and finally hangs on the adjustment plate. The angle of the upward fork varies, about 10 degrees.

[0005] In the above environment, traditional robots are unable to complete efficient and comprehensive inspection of crimped tubes. The main reasons are: (1) The robot cannot autonomously navigate and walk on the reinforcement wire, and cannot reach the root position of the crimped tube, and thus cannot achieve full-range inspection of the crimped tube; (2) The reinforcement wire is made of steel, and X-rays cannot penetrate the steel core of the reinforcement wire. The reinforcement wire will block the imaging of the crimped tube, making it impossible to judge the crimping quality of the crimped tube; (3) Because it carries an X-ray transmitter, the overall weight of the X-ray inspection robot is relatively large. The existing X-ray inspection robot uses traditional walking wheels. Once it deviates on the transmission line, it is difficult to correct the position, and there is a risk of the X-ray inspection robot becoming unstable and falling; (4) Most existing X-ray inspection robots rely on remote control by ground personnel and rely on background control terminals to process X-ray inspection images. They cannot accurately realize front-end autonomous navigation and walking control and front-end image self-processing. Summary of the invention

[0016] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for autonomous X-ray detection of pressure-coupled tubes for power transmission lines.

[0017] A transmission line pressure tube X-ray autonomous detection method includes the following functions: Artificial intelligence autonomous detection system, with image recognition function, based on binocular vision camera, can detect the location, size, outline and distance of the target; After the robot body is hoisted onto the two upper conductors of the transmission line, the control terminal uses the laser radar to scan the surrounding environment of the transmission line, identify the transmission line path, and model the transmission line and the hardware on the transmission line path, and upload it to the artificial intelligence autonomous detection system. After the robot body starts walking, the laser radar keeps scanning and continuously updates the modeling results and the transmission line path; Combined with the modeling results, the robot is controlled to walk along the path of the transmission line, and the binocular vision sensor is started. The hardware and transmission line are judged secondary by the binocular vision sensor and the artificial intelligence image algorithm. When the secondary judgment is correct, the robot continues to move forward. If the difference between the secondary judgments is greater than the set threshold, the robot body stops and allows the laser radar to rescan until it walks to the position to be detected.

[0018] As a further limitation of the second aspect of the present invention, when the robot body moves on the transmission line and the posture is deviated, the concave portion of the wave-shaped structure will clamp the wire, forcing the robot body to return to the transmission line path, and when the robot body further moves out of the wire, the transmission line will be clamped into the concave portion of the adjacent wave-shaped structure; The robot's posture is determined by the binocular vision sensor's recognition of the transmission line path. When the robot's posture deviates from the center of the transmission line, the robot automatically rotates its wheels in the opposite direction to adjust its posture, so that the robot returns to the center of the transmission line and continues to move forward.

[0020] As a further limitation of the second aspect of the present invention, preprocessing the X-ray detection image in the artificial intelligence autonomous detection system includes: Count the number of pixels ni at each gray level of the original input image, i=0, 1...L-1, where L is the total number of gray levels; Calculate the histogram of the original image, the probability density of each gray level Pi (ri) = ni / n, n is the total number of pixels in the original image; Compute the cumulative distribution function: , k = 0, 1, 2···L-1; Calculate the final output gray level: gk=INT[(gmax-gmin)sk(rk)+gmin+0.5] / (L-1); k=0, 1, 2...L-1, where INT[] is the integer operator, let gmin=0, gmax=L-1, then the calculation formula is simplified to: gk=INT[(L-1)sk(rk)+0.5] / (L-1); Using the mapping relationship between fk and gk, the grayscale of the original image is modified to obtain an output image whose histogram is approximately uniformly distributed, and fk is the grayscale function of the original image.

When the first receiving plate is close to the first crimping tube, the first motor stops rotating, the X-ray emission port of the transmitter rotates to a position facing the first receiving plate, the transmitter is started, and an X-ray detection image of the first crimping tube is generated on the first receiving plate; Start the second motor, the second lead screw drives the second lead screw slider to move inward, and the second lead screw slider drives the second receiving plate support beam to move inward. When the second receiving plate is close to the second crimping tube, the second motor stops rotating, and the X-ray emission port of the transmitter rotates to a position facing the second receiving plate. The transmitter starts and generates an X-ray detection image of the second crimping tube on the second receiving plate.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention proposes a safe walking control method for a transmission line crimped tube X-ray inspection robot, develops a crimped tube X-ray inspection robot posture adjustment system and a wavy walking structure, and the walking mechanism can enable the robot to always walk on the plane formed by the conductor and the reinforcement wire, solving the problem that the robot cannot walk on the conductor with the reinforcement wire; when walking on the line, the robot first uses a laser radar to model the conductor, anti-vibration hammer, spacer rod and other hardware and form a motion trajectory, and under the calibration of binocular vision, the relative posture of the robot and each hardware is detected and corrected in real time, realizing the robot's autonomous navigation on the transmission line and improving the robot's adaptability to the transmission line environment.

[0024] 2. The present invention proposes a precise lateral detection method for an X-ray detection robot of a power line crimped tube with a reinforcing wire, and develops an X-ray lateral detection mechanism for crimped tubes with a reinforcing wire. Imaging plates are arranged vertically on both sides of the robot, which can avoid the upper and lower drainage lines and the reinforcing wires wrapped around the drainage lines. Driven by the robot's walking mechanism, the imaging plate can completely penetrate into the root of the crimped tube, realizing full-size detection of the crimped tube with a reinforcing wire. At the same time, strain gauges are arranged around the surface of the imaging plate, and the contact state between the imaging plate and the crimped tube is judged by the change of the strain gauge, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the imaging plate for the crimped tube with a reinforcing wire.

[0025] 3. The present invention proposes an autonomous radiation determination method for X-ray inspection robots for pressure tubes of power transmission lines. The images captured by the robot are first preprocessed by image processing technology based on histogram equalization. The preprocessed images are inferred and predicted using the CSPDarkNet-53 network of YOLOv8. Then, a secondary comparison and judgment of the predicted images in the standard library images is performed to give a preliminary judgment conclusion. At the same time, the images after the secondary judgment are further classified into a sample library, and the sample library is cyclically analyzed using a large model. The present invention solves the problem that the detection process of existing X-ray inspection robots still requires manual participation, improves the safety of X-ray inspection and the efficiency of image recognition, and realizes high-precision cyclic X-ray inspection of pressure tubes.

[0042] In this implementation, the first lead screw 15 is located between the first guide rail 20 and the second guide rail 21 (i.e., the first guide rail 20 is located at the front side of the first lead screw 15, and the second guide rail 21 is located at the rear side of the first lead screw 15), and the second lead screw 18 is located between the third guide rail 22 and the fourth guide rail 23 (i.e., the third guide rail 22 is located at the front side of the second lead screw 18, and the fourth guide rail 23 is located at the rear side of the second rod), to prevent the lead screw from getting stuck due to inaccurate positioning, and each guide rail plays a supporting and guiding role. The two ends of the first lead screw 15 and the second lead screw 18 are respectively connected by bearing seats and play a role of mechanical limiters. The left and right moving strokes of the first receiving plate 6 and the second receiving plate 7 are both 0-100mm.

[0043] In this implementation, preferably, the walking mechanism of this implementation is a four-wheel drive structure, and the driving wheels include a first front driving wheel 8 and a second front driving wheel 9 located at the front of the walking frame 1 and a first rear driving wheel 10 and a second rear driving wheel 11 located at the rear of the walking frame 1; The first front drive wheel 8, the second front drive wheel 9, the first rear drive wheel 10 and the second rear drive wheel 11 all adopt a wavy structure, and the wavy structure includes at least two recesses (preferably four recesses can be selected). This structure can adapt to the detection of all upper and lower line crimping tubes, including "three span" and other lines with reinforcement lines; the first front drive wheel 8, the second front drive wheel 9, the first rear drive wheel 10 and the second rear drive wheel 11 have the same structure, and all include: a supporting hub, an inner baffle, an outer baffle and an outer layer of wavy rubber; one end of the supporting hub is connected to the inner baffle, and the other end of the supporting hub is connected to the outer baffle, and the outer side of the supporting hub is provided with an outer layer of wavy rubber.

[0044] In the present implementation, the first front drive wheel 8, the second front drive wheel 9, the first rear drive wheel 10 and the second rear drive wheel 11 are all designed with transmission stoppers on the supporting wheel hubs, and the first front drive wheel 8, the second front drive wheel 9, the first rear drive wheel 10 and the second rear drive wheel 11 are also assembled in a split manner to facilitate later debugging and replacement.

[0045] In this implementation, in order to facilitate posture adjustment, the wavy recessed portions of the first front drive wheel 8, the second front drive wheel 9, the first rear drive wheel 10 and the second rear drive wheel 11 are designed in the middle of the wire, playing a role similar to that of a V-shaped wheel guide. At the same time, when the left and right wires are tilted, the V-shaped outer contour also serves to prevent the robot from sliding sideways.

[0046] In summary, this implementation method proposes a robot body structure for the horizontal double-split upper and lower outlets of the reinforcement line, which adopts an integrated detection method and can complete the detection of the two left and right crimping tubes at one time; a walking mechanism that can walk on the reinforcement line is proposed. After the robot is equipped with this wheel, it can smoothly travel on the horizontal double-split conductor with the reinforcement line, and the shape structure of the corrugated wheel enables the robot to walk on the left and right conductors with a certain inclination angle, thereby improving the safety of the robot; a detection method for the lateral distribution of the imaging plate is proposed, and the motor drives the lead screw so that the imaging plate can be as close to the crimping tube as possible, thereby achieving the best detection effect.

[0047] Embodiment 2: This implementation provides an autonomous X-ray detection method for power transmission line crimping tubes. The robot adopts a fusion method of laser radar and binocular vision sensor. The laser radar is used for environmental modeling and path judgment, and the binocular vision sensor is used to make a secondary judgment on the power transmission line path and hardware identified by the laser radar, so as to realize the autonomous driving of the robot on the wire. Figure 3 As shown, the following process is included: S1.1: After the robot body is hoisted onto the two conductors of the transmission line, the control terminal scans the surrounding environment of the transmission line through the laser radar, identifies the transmission line path, and models the transmission line and the hardware on the transmission line path, and uploads them to the artificial intelligence autonomous detection system. After the robot body starts walking, the laser radar keeps scanning and continuously updates the modeling results and the transmission line path; S1.2: Based on the modeling results, the robot is controlled to walk along the transmission line path, and the binocular vision sensor is started. The hardware and transmission line are judged again through the binocular vision sensor and the calculation of the artificial intelligence image algorithm. When the second judgment is correct, the robot continues to move forward. If the difference between the second judgments is greater than the set threshold, the robot body stops and the laser radar rescans until it walks to the position to be detected.

[0048] In this implementation, the X-ray detection robot adopts wave-shaped structure self-adjustment and binocular vision feedback adjustment, and adopts a dual adjustment method to achieve the posture adjustment of the robot on the wire. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, including: S2.1: When the robot body moves on the transmission line and its posture deviates, the concave part of the wave-shaped structure will catch the wire, forcing the robot body to return to the transmission line path. When the robot body moves further out of the wire, the transmission line will be caught in the concave part of the adjacent wave-shaped structure. S2.2: The robot body's posture is determined by the binocular vision sensor's recognition result of the transmission line path. When the robot body's posture deviates from the center of the transmission line, the robot body automatically rotates its wheels in the opposite direction to adjust its posture so that the robot body returns to the center of the transmission line and continues to move forward.

[0049] This implementation method innovatively proposes a dual receiving plate movement method to achieve a more comprehensive detection of two crimping tubes, such as Figure 5 As shown, including: S3.1: After the robot body moves to the position to be detected, the first motor 14 is started, the first lead screw 15 drives the first lead screw slider 16 to move inward, and the first lead screw slider 16 drives the first receiving plate support beam 4 to move inward. When the first receiving plate approaches the first crimping tube, the first motor 14 stops rotating, the X-ray emission port of the transmitter rotates to a position facing the first receiving plate, the transmitter is started, and an X-ray detection image of the first crimping tube is generated on the first receiving plate; S3.2: Start the second motor 17, the second lead screw 18 drives the second lead screw slider 19 to move inward, and the second lead screw slider 19 drives the second receiving plate support beam 5 to move inward. When the second receiving plate approaches the second crimping tube, the second motor 17 stops rotating, and the X-ray emission port of the transmitter rotates to a position facing the second receiving plate. The transmitter starts and generates an X-ray detection image of the second crimping tube on the second receiving plate.

[0050] In this implementation, a detection image defect recognition method for X-ray slice image preprocessing and target defect automatic detection is proposed, which realizes unmanned operation of the entire process of X-ray detection, further reduces the manual participation of X-ray detection, improves the safety of X-ray detection, and improves the efficiency of image recognition. Figure 6 As shown: S4.1: In the artificial intelligence autonomous detection system, the collected X-ray detection images are preprocessed, and the YOLOv8 model based on the CSPDarkNet-53 network is used to recognize the preprocessed X-ray detection images, generate preliminary recognition results, and classify the original X-ray detection images and preliminary recognition results into the sample library; S4.2: In the artificial intelligence autonomous detection system, the configured large model is used to perform deep recognition on the X-ray detection images in the sample library, the preliminary recognition results are compared and verified based on the deep recognition results, and the YOLOv8 model is optimized based on the comparison and verification results.

[0051] In this implementation, the images collected by the binocular vision sensor are preprocessed through the image preprocessing technology based on histogram equalization to preprocess the X-ray detection images; the preprocessed images are inferred and predicted using the CSPDarkNet-53 network of YOLOv8, and the predicted images are compared with the images in the standard library to perform secondary judgment. The images after the secondary judgment are further classified into the sample library, and the sample library is analyzed using a large model.

[0052] In this implementation, the X-ray detection image is preprocessed in the artificial intelligence autonomous detection system, including: Count the number of pixels ni at each gray level of the original input image, i=0, 1...L-1, where L is the total number of gray levels; Calculate the histogram of the original image, that is, the probability density of each gray level, Pi (ri) = ni / n, n is the total number of pixels in the original image; Compute the cumulative distribution function: , k = 0, 1, 2···L-1; Calculate the final output gray level: gk=INT[(gmax-gmin)sk(rk)+gmin+0.5] / (L-1); k=0, 1, 2...L-1, where INT[] is the integer operator, let gmin=0, gmax=L-1, then the calculation formula is simplified to: gk=INT[(L-1)sk(rk)+0.5] / (L-1); Using the mapping relationship between fk and gk, the grayscale of the original image is modified to obtain an output image whose histogram is approximately uniformly distributed, and fk is the grayscale function of the original image.

[0053] In this implementation, the activation function of the CSPDarkNet-53 network in the artificial intelligence autonomous detection system uses LeakyReLU: f(x)=max(ax,x); where a is a hyperparameter less than 1, set to 0.1 or 0.01, when x<0, f(x)=ax; when x>=0, f(x)=x.
