Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic monitoring, and in particular relates to a digital monitoring and early warning device for a station. Background Art

[0002] As a key component of the power system, power stations play an important role in transforming voltage, receiving and distributing electric energy, controlling the flow of electricity, and adjusting voltage. It usually includes various power generation facilities (such as thermal power plants, hydropower plants, nuclear power plants, wind power plants, and solar power plants) as well as power transmission and distribution facilities such as substations and transformer substations. In terms of equipment, power stations are equipped with a variety of complex equipment systems to ensure the stable production and efficient transmission of electric energy. First, power generation equipment such as coal-fired boilers, gas turbines, water turbines, wind turbines, and solar panels are responsible for converting primary energy into electric energy. Secondly, the transformer in the substation plays the role of raising and lowering the voltage, so that electric energy can be transmitted and distributed at different voltage levels. In addition, power stations also include various auxiliary equipment, such as cooling systems, sealing systems, transmission systems, and control systems, which work together to ensure the stable operation of power stations. Existing power stations face a variety of potential safety risks. On the one hand, equipment failure may cause power outages or voltage instability, which in turn affects the overall operation of the power grid. For example, transformer failure, generator failure, or transmission line failure may cause power outages. On the other hand, human factors may also cause accidents in power stations, such as operating errors, improper maintenance or malicious damage. In addition, natural environmental factors such as extreme weather conditions (such as lightning, heavy rain, strong winds, blizzards and high temperatures) may also pose a threat to the safe operation of power stations. For example, lightning may cause equipment damage, heavy rain may cause floods, and strong winds and blizzards may affect the stability and safety of transmission lines.

[0003] In order to deal with these potential safety risks, during the management of power stations, personnel are generally arranged to regularly maintain and inspect equipment to promptly detect and deal with potential fault hazards. In order to improve efficiency, especially to meet the inspection needs of remote areas, unmanned inspection systems are set up in power stations to replace manual inspections, so as to achieve efficient inspection operations and avoid man-made accidents. However, in dealing with extreme weather conditions, especially thunderstorms, the damage to power stations is relatively large. Some power stations in remote areas cannot rely on local weather forecasts to achieve accurate estimates. At the same time, with the development of unmanned equipment such as drones, such unmanned equipment may have a huge impact on the damage of the station, and it is not easy to detect, especially for unmanned power stations. It is impossible to know in the first time that the damage caused by the unmanned equipment has caused problems in the entire station. Summary of the invention

[0032] The present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] The present embodiment discloses a digital monitoring and early warning device for a station, which is mainly used in power stations, and can also be applied to other production and transmission stations, such as oil and gas stations, water supply stations, etc., especially for old power stations with no unmanned inspection plan and in remote locations that are difficult to reach by manpower.

[0041] Specifically, the monitoring and early warning device in this embodiment is an integrated device, including a base station. The base station is built at the center of the station. Through a separate cable connection, the existing power supply and communication infrastructure of the station can be used to meet the communication and power supply needs. A control module and a communication module are arranged in the base station, and a signal interface is arranged outside, or an interactive device that can realize the debugging operation is additionally arranged. The signal interface is connected to the external terminal device for debugging and control, and the external terminal device can also be directly connected wirelessly through the communication module for debugging. For the base stations of several power stations, data interaction can be realized through the control center set up at the back end, and a control center will perform inspection planning and fault monitoring for several power stations in a certain area. The data connection between the base station and the back-end control center can be connected using the original dedicated communication network of the electric field, or according to the actual situation of the station, a communication line can be specially set up to ensure its safety.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to meet the needs of unmanned inspection, an inspection drone 2 and an inspection unmanned vehicle 3 are provided in the base station.

[0043] In order to avoid interference between the inspection drone 2 and the equipment and cables in the power station, a setting area is determined within 20 meters of the center of the power station, and there is no obstruction or interference within a height range of 50 meters at the top of the area.

[0044] The inspection drone 2 and the base station realize data exchange through wireless communication, generally in the communication frequency band of 2.4GHz or 5.8GHz. This communication frequency band is suitable for stable wireless communication within a range of 5-10 kilometers, with high transmission rate and low cost, which can meet the high-quality image transmission requirements of the inspection drone 2, and also meet the low power consumption requirements of the inspection drone 2.

[0045] Inspection UAV 2 is a separately set inspection route. Since it adopts a high-altitude inspection and monitoring method, identification marks can be set on the ground around the base station for calibration and calibration. Then, identification marks with location information are set on the ground at various locations in the power station, such as the four corners of the power station and on the ground at various equipment.

[0046] During debugging, an external terminal device will first be used to connect to the base station to operate the inspection drone 2. The control module of the base station is preset with map data of the entire power station within the inspection coverage of the inspection drone 2. After setting up the ground identification marks in the power station, the inspection drone 2 is first controlled to reach the sky above the identification marks at the four corners of the power station in turn, and the inspection drone 2 uses the camera component of the inspection drone 2 to shoot images from a bird's-eye view angle for position calibration and identification. Then, it goes to each device that needs to be inspected in turn, lowers to the corresponding height, and shoots the identification mark for positioning. In actual debugging, the identification mark can be set at the corresponding position of the equipment according to the equipment type, so as to facilitate the positioning of the equipment by the inspection drone 2.

[0047] It should be noted that the identification mark is a reference for the inspection drone 2 to calibrate and locate the position in the picture taken by the camera component. It is generally a special graphic, that is, a plane graphic with a circle and an arrow, which can be distinguished by the direction or shape of the graphic. The meaning of each side of the graphic is edited during debugging and preset in the control module of the base station. In actual inspections, the inspection drone 2 can locate and judge the equipment through image recognition, so there is no need to refer to the identification mark for positioning in general inspection operations.

[0048] It should also be noted that the inspection frequency of the inspection drone 2 is lower than that of the inspection unmanned vehicle 3. Due to the balance between its power consumption and battery capacity, the cruising time of a general inspection drone 2 is generally less than 30 minutes. Therefore, for power stations with larger areas, several inspection drones 2 can be set up to inspect in turn or in different areas to meet the inspection requirements. The inspection drone 2 is generally a supplement to the aerial monitoring perspective of equipment that cannot be approached from the ground or is blocked from sight. The inspection mainly relies on the inspection unmanned vehicle 3.

[0049] Furthermore, the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 in this embodiment has a fixed inspection route, and after reaching the inspection position of each device, it will leave the inspection route and approach the device for inspection. The inspection unmanned vehicle 3 is provided with visual obstacle avoidance components, generally TOF laser radar, binocular camera and other components, which can not only obtain real-time image data, but also avoid obstacles, and can also obtain old-fashioned instrument panel readings in image data through training, thereby meeting inspection needs.

[0050] Furthermore, in addition to the basic inspection function, the detection and early warning device in this embodiment is mainly aimed at monitoring and early warning of the intrusion of drones or other unmanned equipment within a certain range around the power station. Therefore, a Ku-band drone radar 8 is also provided at the base station. The drone radar 8 is a linear frequency modulation pulse system with a mechanically controlled 360-degree machine scanning antenna, and the pitch angle can also be mechanically controlled or covered by frequency scanning. Generally, the pitch coverage range is 0-40 degrees.

[0051] The coverage range of the UAV radar 8 is about 5 kilometers, but according to the needs of the power station, it can be adjusted to 10 kilometers or even larger. For a larger monitoring range, a gradient radar module can be set, that is, different monitoring ranges are set, and radars of different bands and powers are set to achieve accurate coverage. The radar power used in this embodiment is about 160w in the Ku band, and a 300w pulse Doppler array radar in the C band can be additionally added.

[0052] Regarding the monitoring range, the control module of the base station in this embodiment is preset with a first monitoring range and a second monitoring range; when the drone radar 8 detects that a target that meets the drone reflection signal enters the first monitoring range, it sends a warning message, and obtains the target and tracks and monitors it through the inspection drone 2 through the camera module in a determined direction of movement; when the tracked and monitored target enters the second monitoring range, the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 is controlled in a determined direction to approach the target for ground countermeasures.

[0053] Furthermore, the first and second monitoring ranges are set up as gradient measures to deal with invading drones. When the invading drone does not leave the first monitoring range after entering it and is about to enter the second monitoring range, the setting mechanism determines that it meets the disposal conditions, and the inspection drone 2 takes off quickly and synchronizes the monitoring position information of the base station. The inspection drone 2 is additionally provided with a scanning antenna 12 and a radar module 10, and the millimeter-wave radar after approaching can achieve rapid positioning within a certain range.

[0054] Specifically, the millimeter wave radar component on the inspection drone 2 can meet the signal coverage within 500m. When the base station determines that the unknown drone has a movement trend to enter the second monitoring range and is expected to enter the second monitoring range within the set handling time, the inspection drone 2 is immediately started to take off and fly to the invading drone target.

[0055] The base station monitors the height of the target in real time and sets the flight altitude of the inspection drone 2 higher than the drone. When the inspection drone 2 reaches the disposal area, it first uses the camera component to perform visual detection based on the position of the target drone synchronized in real time with the base station. After the target is visually detected, it is quickly located through the onboard millimeter-wave radar, and the camera component and millimeter-wave radar component merged positioning information are sent to the base station, which determines its specific position.

[0056] It should be noted that the device is mainly used for monitoring and early warning. However, since the entire power station is unmanned and the manpower is limited in time, in order to meet the disposal needs, in some embodiments, disposal measures relying on the inspection drone 2 are set, as follows:

[0057] When the base station sends the first warning information to the back-end control center, the personnel of the control center will check the location information of the invading drone in real time, operate the inspection drone 2 in the base station to take off and operate it remotely, and the base station only transmits data at this time.

[0058] After the operator operates the inspection drone 2 to reach the corresponding position, it searches for and identifies the target drone. At this time, since it enters the second monitoring range, the power station will issue a warning through a loudspeaker or other warning device. If the drone still maintains the intrusion state after the warning is driven away, the remote operator can operate the inspection drone 2 to directly collide with the target drone, and break the wings of the target drone by relying on the support frame 11 set at the bottom of the inspection drone 2, thereby achieving the disposal purpose. In addition, other disposal mechanisms can also be set up in a targeted manner, such as a larger capture net, a collision rod, or an additional FPV drone for disposal.

[0059] In another embodiment, no human operation is required. When the base station determines the real-time position of the inspection drone 2, it controls the inspection drone 2 to directly hit the invading drone from above and adjusts its running path in real time through the millimeter wave radar, which can also achieve the corresponding disposal effect.

[0060] In order to achieve better treatment effect and reduce treatment cost, this embodiment also provides an implementation method, which is as follows:

[0061] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 This embodiment provides an integrated digital monitoring and early warning device for a station. As can be seen in the figure, the base station is an integrated cabinet structure, including a cabinet 1. The cabinet 1 is a vertical structure, and a frame composed of metal profiles is arranged inside it. A partition is arranged outside the frame to achieve shielding, and a certain space is formed inside.

[0062] Some partitions are provided with hollow areas for setting up external structures, or reserved openings for connecting internal equipment of the cabinet 1 with external equipment and lines. The frame is provided with a plurality of mounting positions or mounting holes, which are exposed through the openings reserved by the partitions.

[0063] A lifting rod 6 is provided at one side of the cabinet 1, and a mast is provided at the end of the lifting rod 6. The mast is provided with a weather radar 7 and a UAV radar 8. The weather radar 7 includes a K-band atmospheric electric field radar and a C-band Doppler weather radar, and the UAV radar 8 is a Ku-band machine-scanning radar.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The inspection drone 2 includes a main body, a support frame 11 is provided at the lower part of the main body, a scanning antenna 12 is provided in the middle of the support frame 11, a battery is provided inside the main body, and a radar module 10 is provided at the upper part of the main body. Two independent and detachable drone base stations 4 are provided on the top of the cabinet 1. The so-called drone base station 4 is an independent sealed box structure, the bottom of which is fixed to the mounting hole exposed at the top of the cabinet 1 by bolts, and is connected to the circuit in the cabinet 1 through cables to realize power supply and signal transmission. The drone base station 4 has a bracket to provide support for the inspection drone 2. At the same time, a metal strip is provided on the bracket, and a corresponding metal contact is provided at the lower part of the support frame 11 of the inspection drone 2. When the inspection drone 2 is in the drone base station 4, a metal strip with a sufficiently large contact area is provided to fit the metal contact, thereby realizing a relatively stable electrical connection state, and charging is realized by connecting the drone base station 4 to the power module in the cabinet 1. The general charging current is 12V / 5A.

[0065] The top of the drone base station 4 is provided with a cover door which is controlled to open and close by electric hinges arranged on both sides. Figure 2 The box covers of the two UAV base stations 4 are designed to be split, which can be opened quickly when needed without blocking the takeoff of the inspection UAV 2.

[0066] Furthermore, a trolley base station 5 is provided at the bottom of one side of the cabinet 1, and the trolley base station 5 includes a docking frame, and the docking frame includes an expansion guide part and a limit part. The expansion guide part includes two guide arms forming a V-shaped opening, and the limit part is a clamp arranged on the inner side of the V-shaped opening. The inspection unmanned vehicle 3 is guided by the guide arm to the inner side of the V-shaped opening and is clamped and fixed by the clamp.

[0067] In this embodiment, the disposal measures of the inspection vehicle are added. Specifically, the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 includes a chassis and a roller frame arranged at the lower part of the chassis, a battery is arranged in the middle part of the chassis, and a camera module and a mechanical arm are arranged at the upper part of the chassis; an accessory placement area is also arranged at the vehicle base station 5, and an interference directional antenna 9 line and a clamping claw detachably connected to the movable end of the mechanical arm are arranged in the accessory placement area.

[0068] During the normal inspection process of the inspection unmanned vehicle 3, the movable end of the robotic arm is generally a clamp, that is, the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 can not only read the instruments of the equipment, but also approach the equipment to perform more operations through the clamp, such as clearing some debris, plugging and unplugging plugs, combing cables, etc.

[0069] When it is necessary to deal with the invading drone, the robotic arm of the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 will control the pairing with the interference directional antenna 9 fixed in the accessory placement area, so that in the effective area below the invading drone, through the joint positioning of the base station and the inspection drone 2, the direction of the robotic arm is adjusted, and the invading drone is blocked by the interference directional antenna 9.

[0070] There are many implementation methods for the setting of the accessory placement area, one of which is that a vertical or horizontal mounting rack is provided at a fixed position in the trolley base station 5 provided outside the cabinet 1, and the interference directional antenna 9 line and the clamp can be placed separately on the mounting rack. The interference directional antenna 9 line and the end of the clamp are provided with an identical connection part, and the connection part includes a variety of setting methods, such as threaded matching or block matching. When the unmanned inspection vehicle 3 enters the station, the limit fixation is achieved through the docking frame. The height of the docking frame is lower than the rotation plane of the mechanical arm, so that the mechanical arm can still rotate in all directions when the unmanned inspection vehicle 3 is limited and fixed. After the unmanned inspection vehicle 3 enters the station, the mechanical arm will enter in a fixed posture according to the specifications, and then move the mechanical arm so that the clamp or the interference directional antenna 9 line connected to its end is limited to the corresponding position of the mounting rack. At this time, the clamp or the interference directional antenna 9 line is limited by the mounting frame to keep it fixed in a certain reverse direction, and then the mechanical arm rotates or releases the block, so that the mechanical arm is disconnected from the clamp or the interference directional antenna 9 line, and the clamp or the interference directional antenna 9 line is fixed by the mounting frame.

[0071] In another embodiment, the accessory placement area is a recessed portion of the cabinet 1 itself, and the clamping claw and the interference directional antenna 9 are provided with corresponding insertion slots. The robotic arm only needs to align the movable end with the opening of the insertion slot to achieve a detachable connection with the clamping claw or the interference directional antenna 9 through the rotation or clamping operation of the robotic arm.

[0072] Reference Figure 5 When the base station determines that the intruding drone has entered the second monitoring range, it immediately starts the inspection drone 2 and the inspection vehicle 3 to move in the direction where the intruding drone has entered. The moving route is the fastest route temporarily planned and may not overlap with the inspection route, as long as it is ensured that it will not be blocked by the equipment.

[0073] The inspection drone 2 first reaches the corresponding position and accurately locates the invading target drone from above. When the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 equipped with the interference directional antenna 9 arrives, the interference directional antenna 9 on the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 is controlled to face the target drone and perform continuous tracking and interference until the target drone is successfully interfered and lands, completing the interference operation.

[0074] It should be noted that the interference antenna in this embodiment is a fixed-line gain antenna. Since the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 platform has a greater load capacity, a higher-power interference device is provided on the inspection unmanned vehicle 3 to meet the demand.
