Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of tower bolt monitoring and relates to voiceprint feature extraction technology, and specifically to a communication tower bolt loosening positioning system and method based on voiceprint feature extraction. Background Art

[0002] Steel towers are an important component of transmission lines. As the support of overhead wires, their bearing capacity plays an important role in the normal operation of transmission lines.

[0003] Since communication towers are in a complex environment with various static and dynamic loads for a long time, the tower nodes will suffer varying degrees of damage. The most intuitive manifestation of tower node damage is loose bolts. Usually, when bolts loosen at the tower nodes, the slip load borne by the bolt group will decrease, which will reduce the axial stiffness of the rods and increase the deformation of the rods, resulting in a decrease in the bearing capacity of the communication tower. If the node damage continues to develop, the communication tower may eventually collapse under strong winds. Due to the large number of bolts and complex structure of communication towers, there has been no efficient method for detecting the tightening of communication tower bolts.

[0004] At present, the tightness of the bolts at the bottom of the tower is roughly determined by knocking and listening to the sound, or high-altitude workers climb the tower to conduct sampling inspections to roughly judge the tightness of the bolts of the entire tower. The detection accuracy and work efficiency are extremely low, and the bolt status cannot be monitored in real time, which cannot meet the increasingly increasing requirements for lean operation and inspection of equipment.
