[0025] Embodiment 2 To further introduce the technical solution of the present application, on the basis of Embodiment 1, specific application examples are further disclosed: The technical solution of this embodiment can automatically calculate the shooting position according to the target resolution requirement, use the two - dimensional mirror to perform swing scanning on the key hanging points, and realize the non - missed imaging of the cables in the span through the cooperation of the servo mechanism and the two - dimensional mirror, improve the inspection operation efficiency and automation level, and ensure reliable camera imaging effects. It should be noted that the inspection equipment used in this embodiment is an aircraft carrying an optoelectronic turret; the optoelectronic turret is specifically an optoelectronic turret with azimuth and elevation rotation axes; for the convenience of understanding, the components used when obtaining relevant information in Embodiment 1 are described: the visible - light camera carried by the optoelectronic turret itself is used to image the tower and the key hanging points to be inspected in the span; the two - dimensional mirror carried by the optoelectronic turret itself is arranged in front of the incident surface of the visible - light camera or in the middle of the incident light path, and realizes the two - dimensional expansion of the field of view through the two - dimensional swing of the mirror surface; the inertial measurement unit carried by the optoelectronic turret itself is used to obtain the real - time position and attitude information of the optoelectronic turret, so that the optoelectronic turret has the ability of geographical tracking, and is used to calculate the relative spatial distance between the key hanging points to be photographed and the optoelectronic turret; the optoelectronic turret control system is used to control the operation of the optoelectronic turret.
[0026] Taking the 110 kV AC transmission line as an example, the method of Embodiment 1 is specifically described in this embodiment. The main tower types of the 110 kV AC transmission line are straight towers and tension towers. The hanging points on the front and back of the straight tower are the same, while for the tension tower, due to more key hanging points, the hanging points on the front and back are different. The number of cables to be photographed in the span is 3. According to the target size of this line, it is determined that the target resolution needs to meet 1.5 mm. From the parameters of the visible light camera, it can be inferred that the maximum distance from the key hanging points to be photographed to the carrier aircraft at this time should not be greater than 130 meters. The number of hanging points on one side of the straight tower is 9, and the number of hanging points on one side of the tension tower is 11.
[0027] Schematic diagram of the intelligent inspection operation method for power line towers is as Figure 2-3 shown, in which Figure 2 the flight path of the carrier aircraft and three example hanging points: Point 1, Point 2, and Point 3 are exemplified; In this embodiment, the intelligent inspection operation method for power line towers is as follows: To ensure unobstructed imaging of the key hanging points of the tower, multi-angle imaging of the key hanging points is performed from both the front and back of the tower. Taking two straight towers in the line to be inspected: Tower 1 and Tower 2 and their spans as examples for illustration, the number of towers to be inspected in the line is each, and the number of key hanging points on one side of each tower to be inspected is . The position of the th key hanging point of the th tower is pre-collected , where , ; in this embodiment ; . On this basis, the intermediate position of the key hanging points on one side of the th tower is calculated by the following formula, and is used as the geographical tracking target point of the optoelectronic turret during the inspection operation on one side of the th tower.
[0028] (1); To reduce the data pre-processing work intensity of power inspection operations and ensure clear and reliable target imaging, combined with the actual size of the tower and cable targets, the trigger distance threshold between the carrier aircraft and the farthest hanging point of the tower is set, and the trigger distance threshold for the geographical guidance of the optoelectronic turret before tower imaging and the farthest hanging point of the tower is set, and ; in this embodiment ; .
[0029] First, the carrier aircraft equipped with an optoelectronic turret performs tower inspection tasks on one side of the power line without hovering. When inspecting the When performing inspection operations on a pole tower, the optoelectronic turret is based on the position information fed back by the inertial measurement unit and combines with the position of each key hanging point of the th pole tower, and calculates the maximum relative distance between the optoelectronic turret and each key hanging point in real time through formula (2) . When the maximum relative distance is reached, the geographical tracking target point during the inspection operation of the th pole tower is sent to the optoelectronic turret control system, and the optoelectronic turret control system controls the movement of the azimuth and elevation axes of the optoelectronic turret and keeps the central visual axis of the optoelectronic turret stably pointing to the geographical tracking target point .
[0030] (2); Then, after the optoelectronic turret stably points to the geographical tracking target point, calculate the maximum relative distance between the optoelectronic turret and each key hanging point in real time . When is reached, calculate the shooting sequence strategy of each key hanging point according to the optimal path algorithm, and sort the key hanging points. After determining the optimal shooting strategy, through the real-time position information and attitude information of the optoelectronic turret fed back by the inertial measurement unit, and combining with the position coordinates of the sorted key hanging points, solve the required movement angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror of the optoelectronic turret on the premise of pointing to the geographical tracking target point , and send to the optoelectronic turret control system to control the movement angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror; after the two-dimensional swing mirror moves stably, control the visible light camera to focus and shoot according to the current relative distance between the optoelectronic turret and the key hanging point to be photographed. After the shooting is completed, re-acquire the current pose information of the optoelectronic turret and calculate the required movement angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror for the next key hanging point to be photographed, and so on, until the optoelectronic turret completes the clear imaging of all the key hanging points to be photographed on one side of the pole tower
[0031] Finally, if there is a contradiction between the clear imaging distance and the imaging operation time under the high-speed flight of the carrier aircraft due to factors such as the large size of the pole tower or the large number of key hanging points, then image different key hanging points respectively when imaging the front and back sides of the pole tower. At this time, when imaging all the key hanging points on the other side, it is necessary to recalculate the geographical tracking target point according to all the key hanging points on the other side, and repeat the above steps until all the key hanging points of the pole tower complete the imaging operation
[0032] The schematic diagram of the intelligent inspection operation method in the power line span is as shown in Figure 4 and the specific method process is as follows In this embodiment, the number of inspection cables required in the line to be inspected is , , due to the influence of factors such as gravity, the cable in the span will have a certain sag, and the sag will vary under different temperature conditions. Therefore, relying solely on the laser point cloud data cannot ensure that the optical axis of the visible light camera accurately points to the cable hanging point. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a cable sag equation in the span, compare the sag equation with the actually measured laser point cloud data, and further reduce the systematic error generated by the cable sag equation in the span, so as to achieve accurate pointing to the cable hanging point.
[0033] First, comprehensively consider various factors including but not limited to the type and parameters of the cable in the span, the span in the span, the height difference between adjacent towers, and temperature, etc., and establish a geometric relationship between the above factors and the sag size , substitute the actually measured laser point cloud data and the corresponding sag size, and compare the relative error between the laser point cloud and the geometric relationship between, and correct the error of the geometric relationship according to the error size to obtain , so as to establish an accurate model of the sag in the span.
[0034] Secondly, the inspection of the cable in the span and the inspection of the tower are completed in a single-side inspection operation. After the inspection of the tower is completed, the cable hanging point position is sent as the first group of aiming points , , o represents the number of groups of aiming points, and k represents the kth coordinate in the group of aiming points; and the first coordinate of the first group of aiming points is sent to the optoelectronic turret control system, and the optoelectronic turret control system controls the movement of the optoelectronic turret and keeps it pointing ; the accurate pointing of can be used for later error analysis and fault troubleshooting, and let be the initial reference point for inspection in the span. It should be noted that the cable hanging point is included in the key hanging points to be photographed during the tower inspection operation.
[0035] Then, during the inspection in the span, the carrier aircraft is always in the forward flight state. After the pointing of the point is completed, the optoelectronic turret control system calculates the position and the real-time position information of the optoelectronic turret and sends the distance to the visible light camera for focusing and imaging. After the imaging of is completed, according to the real-time position information and attitude information fed back by the inertial measurement unit, and combined with the second coordinate of the first aiming point , control the movement angle of the two-dimensional swing mirror , complete the focusing and imaging of the second cable hanging point position coordinate, and so on until the completion of Shooting at the hanging point position of the point cable.
[0036] Next, when , After the imaging of the cable hanging point is completed, by calculating the relative distance between the current aircraft position and the aircraft position at the previous moment , combining the imaging overlap rate requirement in the span and the sag relationship formula calculate the second group of target aiming points of the cable in the span , , send the second group of target aiming points to the optoelectronic turret control system, and the optoelectronic turret control system controls the movement of the optoelectronic turret and always keeps pointing to the first point of the second group of aiming points , and feed back the current relative distance between the optoelectronic turret and to the visible light camera for focusing and imaging, and so on until all the imaging of the second group of target observation points is completed.
[0037] Finally, similarly, generate multiple groups of target aiming points again and complete the target imaging of all points until all the target imaging before the key hanging points of the next pole tower is completed. At this time, the imaging operation in the span is completed, and the working mode is switched to the pole tower operation imaging and ready to execute the pole tower operation imaging mode, or the power inspection operation process is ended; the number of groups of target aiming points is set according to the actual situation, generally three groups. In addition, in the invention, x, y, and z are the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis coordinates of the three-dimensional coordinates respectively.
[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
