[0002] The drone itself has the advantages of being easy to carry, simple to operate, quick to respond, rich in payload, wide range of mission uses, low environmental requirements for takeoff and landing, and autonomous flight. Applying drones to power line inspection can greatly improve the speed and efficiency of power maintenance and repair, so that many tasks can be completed quickly in a fully energized environment, ensuring the safety of electricity use. Drones are active in all walks of life due to their small size and convenient operation, effectively promoting the construction progress and efficiency of related industrial projects. The use of drones for conventional transmission line inspections can reduce labor intensity. Compared with manned helicopter line inspections, it can improve the safety of line inspection operators and reduce costs. In addition, drones have fast line inspection speed and emergency response speed, can promptly detect defects and provide information, avoid power outages caused by line accidents, and save high power outage costs.
[0003] Through the joint line inspection of rotary-wing and fixed-wing drones, a large-scale rapid survey of the transmission line corridor can be achieved, and high-definition line equipment photos can be efficiently obtained to clearly identify common transmission line defects, greatly enhancing the efficiency of transmission line inspections, and providing an advanced and practical technical means for modern transmission line maintenance. Using drones equipped with visible light to shoot infrared and ultraviolet detection tasks, the airborne equipment conducts flight inspections of transmission lines and transmits the on-site situation back to the ground monitoring system in real time, so that correct judgments can be made and line faults can be eliminated in a timely manner.
[0004] At present, the battery replacement robotic arms and aircraft push-pull structures on the market are very complex and have low reliability.

[0054] The BDS / GPS dual-mode differential technology combined with the GPS and BDS pseudo-range and phase dual-difference observation equations in the RTK algorithm are as follows:
[0055]
[0056] Where Δ is the double difference operator; P i is the pseudorange observation value, and the subscript i represents the frequency; is the carrier phase observation value in cycles; λ i is the wavelength; ρ is the geometric distance between stations and satellites; N i is the integer ambiguity; d trop and d ion is the tropospheric and ionospheric delay error (which can be well eliminated in short-distance RTK positioning); n is the observation noise and multipath effect;
[0057] The inspection drone 10 is landed on the top of the landing platform 305 of the micro-machine nest 30 via the flight operation control system 20, and then the opposing photoelectric transmitter 306 and the opposing photoelectric receiver 104 are aligned to receive signals to form a signal source, so that the inspection drone 10 hovers and turns, forming multiple groups of opposing photoelectric transmitters 306 and opposing photoelectric receivers 104 fixed-point alignment, and the inspection drone 10 is accurately positioned and parked in the storage cavity;

At this time, the UWB antenna 105 of inspection drone 10 No. 1 sends a signal to the flight operation control system 20, and the flight operation control system 20 changes the flight route of the inspection drone 10 in the flight mission. The flight operation control system 20 allocates the inspection points on the unfinished inspection route.
