[0002] Distribution network refers to the power grid that receives electric energy from the transmission network or regional power plants, distributes it locally or step by step according to the voltage to various users through distribution facilities. It is composed of overhead lines, cables, towers, distribution transformers, disconnectors, reactive power compensators and some ancillary facilities, and plays an important role in distributing electric energy in the power grid. Distribution network lines are generally exposed outdoors, and they will inevitably be affected by the natural and social environment during operation. In particular, extreme weather such as lightning and storms may destroy or damage distribution network equipment, or cause accidents such as electric shock. At the same time, problems such as theft, random wiring, and deliberate destruction may also affect the normal operation of distribution equipment and even lead to safety accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to regularize the distribution network lines. Time inspection, traditional power inspection methods usually rely on manual inspection and equipment detection. During the specific operation, the labor intensity of the staff is high, the inspection efficiency is low, and under the harsh external environment, the personal safety of the inspectors cannot be guaranteed, and there is a great risk.
