Faced with the wave of global energy revolution and post-industrial development, the demand for energy Internet and intelligence has brought major challenges and opportunities to this industry. The existing inspection system monitors and analyzes the inspection route and status of the inspectors, and promptly alarms when abnormal conditions are found. For example, in patent document CN114186825A, before the user sets out for inspection, the system inputs the planning instructions, and the system compares the natural gas parameters of each pipeline with the preset normal range. If the parameters exceed the normal range, the system will display the abnormal mark at the corresponding position on the pipeline distribution map, so that the user can understand the location of the abnormal pipeline. According to each abnormal pipeline and the preset constraints, the system will plan an inspection route. For another example, patent document CN116503229A controls the drive module to operate the gas leak inspection device to move according to the monitoring data and distance information, so as to obtain the monitoring data of different locations; and based on the monitoring data of these different locations, a first inspection plan is formulated.

[0040] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
[0041] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a pipeline inspection control method provided by the present invention, and the method is executed by a cloud platform. Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0042] S1. According to the detection data of each detection node on the target pipeline, the position to be inspected of the target pipeline is obtained, and the target pipe section and the target inspection site to which the position to be inspected belongs are determined.
[0043] Among them, the target pipeline is an arbitrarily selected pipeline, and there is no restriction here. The detection node is used to divide the pipe section, and each two adjacent detection nodes constitute a pipe section. Each detection node is equipped with at least one sensor for obtaining the detection data of a certain position or a certain section of the pipeline. The detection data includes but is not limited to: ambient temperature, pipeline flow rate, pipeline pressure, pipeline cracks, etc. The position to be inspected is the location point where the detection data is abnormal. The target pipe section is the pipe section to which the position to be inspected belongs (is located). The target inspection station is the inspection station closest to the position to be inspected.
[0044] S2. Determine a patrol robot of the target type according to the pipe segment type of the target pipe segment, and control the patrol robot of the target type deployed at the target patrol site to perform a rapid patrol inspection on the position to be patrolled.
[0045] The pipe segment types include, but are not limited to, ground detection pipe segments, aerial detection pipe segments, and underwater detection pipe segments. Each pipe segment corresponds to a pipe segment type. For example, the pipe segment type of the target pipe segment is a ground detection pipe segment, an aerial detection pipe segment, or an underwater detection pipe segment. The type of the inspection robot corresponds to the pipe segment type, including a ground inspection robot for inspecting ground detection pipe segments, an aerial inspection robot for inspecting aerial detection pipe segments, and an underwater inspection robot for inspecting underwater detection pipe segments. The inspection robot of the target type is at least one of a ground inspection robot, an aerial inspection robot, and an underwater inspection robot.
[0046] It should be noted that if Figure 2 As shown, the section between detection node 1 and detection node 2 is the ground detection section; the section between detection node 1 and detection node 4 is the aerial detection section; and the section between detection node 2 and detection node 3 is the underwater detection section. The ground inspection robot and the aerial inspection robot can form a ground-to-air inspection robot, and the aerial inspection robot and the underwater inspection robot can form a water-to-air inspection robot. The combined design of the inspection robots improves the inspection endurance and saves the construction cost of the inspection sites. In addition, dividing the pipe sections is equivalent to marking the target pipe sections in sections. By marking the pipe sections in advance, the inspection site can determine the fastest inspection robot or inspection robot combination to reach the location to be inspected.
[0047] Specifically: The cloud platform predicts the pipeline fault location (the location to be inspected) based on the detection data of detection node 1, and it is located between detection node 1 and detection node 2, 1.5 km away from detection node 1. The target inspection site to which the location to be inspected belongs is inspection site A, and the segment type of the target pipe segment to which the location to be inspected belongs is a ground detection pipe segment. The cloud platform sends the above information and the inspection task (control instruction) to inspection site A. Since the aerial inspection robot can complete the inspection of the ground detection pipe segment and the aerial inspection pipe segment, the inspection speed of the aerial inspection robot is greater than the inspection speed of the ground inspection robot, and the location to be inspected is within the endurance range of the aerial inspection robot, therefore, the aerial inspection robot is selected to conduct a rapid inspection of the location to be inspected.
[0048] In an optional manner, the method further includes:
[0049] According to preset constraints, the location distribution of multiple inspection sites of the target pipeline is determined, and at least one type of inspection robot is deployed for each inspection site.
[0050] Among them, the preset constraints are: according to the target pipe section type of the pipe sections on both sides of each inspection station, the type of inspection robot required for each inspection station is determined, and according to the longest flight time between the inspection robots deployed at each two adjacent inspection stations, the distance between each two adjacent inspection stations is determined.
[0051] Specifically: For example, if the pipe sections on both sides of the inspection station are ground inspection pipe sections, then the inspection station only needs to be equipped with ground inspection robots and aerial inspection robots. For another example, if the pipe sections on both sides of the inspection station are underwater inspection pipe sections, then the inspection station only needs to be equipped with aerial inspection robots and underwater inspection robots. For another example, if the pipe sections on both sides of the inspection station are aerial inspection pipe sections, then the inspection station only needs to be equipped with aerial inspection robots.
[0052] More specifically: for example, inspection site A and inspection site B are adjacent. The ground inspection robot deployed at inspection site A has a range of 6km and an inspection speed of 10km / h. The aerial inspection robot has a range of 4km and an inspection speed of 20km / h. Since the ground inspection robot and the aerial inspection robot can form a ground-to-air inspection robot, the farthest inspection distance of inspection site A is 5km. Inspection site B is only equipped with a ground inspection robot with a range of 6km, so the farthest inspection distance of inspection site B is 3km. It can be determined that the maximum distance between inspection site A and inspection site B is 8km.
[0053] In an optional manner, the method further includes:
[0054] The geographic data of the target pipeline is acquired, and each detection node on the target pipeline is determined according to the geographic data.
[0055] The geographic data is the full-length geographic data of the target pipeline. Each detection node on the target pipeline is determined according to the full-length geographic data, thereby dividing the pipeline into multiple sections.
[0056] In an optional manner, the method further includes:
[0057] The inspection robots arranged at the inspection stations on both sides of the position to be inspected are controlled to perform precise inspection on the position to be inspected.
[0058] Specifically: Since the cloud platform predicts that the pipeline fault location (the location to be inspected) is located between detection node 1 and detection node 2 based on the detection data of detection node 1, the fault location is only a predicted result. The fault location may be located in the target pipe section of inspection station B. If only the area near the fault location is inspected, or only the inspection is performed from inspection station A to the fault location, it cannot be ruled out that the fault location is in the target pipe section of inspection station B. Therefore, in this embodiment, after the pipeline is quickly inspected, inspection stations A and inspection stations B on both sides of the fault location simultaneously perform precise inspections on the pipeline in opposite directions. In this embodiment, after the pipeline is quickly inspected, inspection stations on both sides of the fault location (the location to be inspected) simultaneously perform precise inspections on the pipeline in opposite directions, which improves the inspection efficiency and can more effectively detect pipeline faults.
[0059] In addition, it should be noted that: in this embodiment, the inspection frequency can also be determined according to the detection data of each detection node, and the specific formula is: T represents the inspection frequency (in times / week), e represents the natural constant, F represents the number of historical failures, t represents the usage time (in weeks), and R represents the risk level. Indicates rounding up. Specifically: for the target pipe section to which inspection station A belongs, the number of historical failures is 5, the service time is 30 weeks, and the risk level is 1, then the inspection frequency for the target pipe section is 6 times per week. The inspection frequency of the existing inspection method is fixed, and it is not possible to eliminate the hidden dangers of pipeline failures in advance. However, this embodiment adaptively adjusts the inspection frequency according to the number of pipeline failures, service time, and risk level. When the number of pipeline failures is large and the risk level is high, the inspection frequency is increased, so that the hidden dangers of pipeline failures can be eliminated in advance.
[0060] The technical solution of this embodiment can use the inspection robot to quickly inspect the pipeline, thereby improving the efficiency of pipeline inspection.
