Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chemical raw material production, and more specifically, to a fully autonomous inspection system for power transmission and distribution lines at new energy stations. Background Art

[0002] Transmission lines are constructed by using transformers to boost the voltage of electricity generated by generators, then connecting it to the transmission line via control equipment such as circuit breakers. Transmission lines are divided into overhead transmission lines and cable lines in terms of structure. Overhead transmission lines are constructed above ground, consisting of line towers, conductors, insulators, line hardware, guy wires, tower foundations, and grounding devices. Power transmission is categorized as AC or DC based on the nature of the current being transmitted. DC transmission was first successfully implemented in the 1880s. However, because the voltage of DC transmission was difficult to increase further under the technical conditions at the time, its transmission capacity and efficiency were limited. By the end of the 19th century, DC transmission was gradually replaced by AC. The success of AC transmission ushered in a new era of electrification in the 20th century.

[0003] A collector line tower, or transmission line tower, is a structure that supports the conductors and lightning conductors of high-voltage or ultra-high-voltage overhead transmission lines. They are generally categorized by shape: wine glass, cathead, up-shaped, dry-shaped, and barrel-shaped. They are also categorized by purpose: tension towers, straight-line towers, corner towers, transposition towers (for changing conductor phase positions), terminal towers, and spanning towers.

[0004] The wind farms of the State Power Investment Corporation Ningxia Energy Aluminum Zhongwei New Energy Co., Ltd. are located in scattered and remote areas, often with a harsh natural environment and poor transportation. Transmission lines are built over long distances and have complex structures. Traditional power inspections rely primarily on manual inspections, using a combination of sensory perception and some supporting testing equipment to perform simple qualitative checks on related equipment and towers. This results in a heavy workload, low efficiency, and difficulty ensuring inspection quality. Furthermore, manual inspections cannot be digitally recorded, archived, or tracked, making it difficult to digitally display inspection results. Therefore, there are deficiencies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a fully autonomous inspection system for the transmission and distribution lines of new energy stations, which can replace manual inspections, and the inspection records can be quickly archived and traced back.

[0006] This application is implemented as follows:

[0007] Master management platform;

[0008] A station control allocation platform, the station control allocation platform being communicatively connected to the main control management platform, the station control allocation platform comprising a data server and a local client, the local client being used to operate the data server;

[0009] A route patrol platform is communicatively connected to the station control and distribution platform. The route patrol platform is used for patrol inspections.

The local client establishes a communication connection through the field switch, the field switch is communicatively connected to the data storage machine, the field switch is communicatively connected to the antenna AP, and the patrol device is wirelessly communicatively connected to the antenna AP.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the route patrol platform further includes a drone charging station, which is used to charge the patrol device.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, the inspection device is a multi-rotor drone, which is equipped with a central processing unit, a visible light camera, a laser radar and a route patrol module. The visible light camera, the laser radar and the route patrol module are respectively electrically connected to the central processing unit.

The various data of the power lines and collector line towers are uploaded to the main control management platform through local client control, and then distributed and stored by date classification, so that the staff does not need to patrol on-site. By checking the daily inspection data stored in the main control management platform, the transmission lines of the power lines and collector line towers can be inspected, thereby replacing manual inspections with intelligent devices and management. This solves the problem that in the existing technology, power inspections mainly rely on manual inspections, and use a combination of sensory organs and some supporting detection instruments to conduct simple qualitative judgment inspections on related equipment and poles, resulting in a large inspection workload, low efficiency, and difficulty in ensuring inspection quality.

[0026] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present application, a fully autonomous inspection system for power transmission and distribution lines at a new energy station includes:

[0028] Main control management platform 100;

[0029] The station control allocation platform 200 is communicatively connected to the main control management platform 100 . The station control allocation platform 200 includes a data server 210 and a local client 220 . The local client 220 is used to operate the data server 210 .

[0030] The route patrol platform 300 is communicatively connected to the station control and distribution platform 200. The route patrol platform 300 is used for inspection and includes an inspection device 310. The inspection device 310 is installed near the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500. It should be noted that the power line 400 is an aerial transmission line, and the collector line tower 500 is a structure for erecting the transmission line. During the specific inspection, the inspection route of the inspection device 310 is designed according to the actual on-site conditions of the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500. The inspection device 310 performs monitoring inspections back and forth near the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500, mainly inspecting whether there are line defects in the power line 400 and whether the collector line tower 500 is normal. After each inspection, the inspection data of the inspection device 310 is formed into a daily report and transmitted to the data server 210. The various data of the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500 are uploaded to the main control management platform 100 through the control of the local client 220 for distribution and classification by date. Storage, so that the staff does not need to patrol on site, and can check the daily inspection data stored in the main control management platform 100 to check the transmission lines of the power line 400 and the collection line tower 500. Therefore, by introducing intelligent equipment and managing it instead of manual inspection, it solves the problem that in the existing technology, power inspection mainly relies on manual inspection, and comprehensively uses sensory organs and some supporting detection instruments to conduct simple qualitative judgment inspections on related equipment and poles, resulting in a large inspection workload and low efficiency, making it difficult to ensure the inspection quality, and the manual inspection process cannot be digitally recorded, archived, and traced back, and the inspection results are difficult to display digitally.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the main control management platform 100 is divided into a large display screen 110, a system client 120, a main station server 130, and a data storage device 140. The system client 120 and the main station server 130 are in communication with the local client 220. The main station server 130 is in communication with the large display screen 110, the system client 120, and the data storage device 140. The system client 120 is used to control the main station server 130. The data storage device 140 is used to store circuit inspection data obtained on-site by the inspection device 310 in the data server 210. The main station server 130 and the data storage device 140 are in communication with each other. The system client 120 retrieves and records various data stored in the data storage device 140 through the main station server 130 and displays them uniformly on the large display screen 110, thereby enabling intuitive access to daily inspection data records, facilitating the storage and review of daily inspection records. The daily reports generated by the inspection data of the inspection device 310 are divided into two categories of data reports, namely the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500, after unified planning, and are stored in the data storage 140 by date. The system client 120 then retrieves the stored data from the data storage 140 through the main station server 130 and displays the two categories of data reports, namely the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500, on the large display screen 110, so that staff can inspect the power transmission lines without on-site patrols.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the main control management platform 100 establishes a communication connection with the local client 220 via the station control switch 230. The main station server 130 establishes a communication connection with the local client 220 via the station control switch 230.

[0033] Furthermore, multiple station control distribution platforms 200 are provided, and each station control distribution platform 200 establishes a communication connection with the main control management platform 100 via a station control switch 230. By providing multiple station control distribution platforms 200, the power lines 400 and the collector line towers 500 are categorized and managed. All data reports within the power lines 400 are stored in one data server 210, and all data reports within the collector line towers 500 are stored in another data server 210. The station control switch 230 then identifies data servers 210 with different IP addresses, automatically classifying the data from the power lines 400 and the collector line towers 500 during transmission. This classifies the data sources and ensures that the two types of data, namely the power lines 400 and the collector line towers 500, are not confused.

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, the route patrol platform 300 also includes a field switch 320, a data storage device 330, and an antenna AP 340. The local client 220 establishes a communication connection through the field switch 320. The field switch 320 is in communication with the data storage device 330, the field switch 320 is in communication with the antenna AP 340, and the patrol device 310 is in wireless communication with the antenna AP 340. The field switch 320 and the data storage device 330 are located indoors on the station control distribution platform 200. The field switch 320 establishes a wireless communication connection with the patrol device 310 via the antenna AP 340. The data storage device 330 is used to store patrol data from the patrol device 310, enabling real-time access and transmission of the data to the data server 210 via the field switch 320.

[0035] Furthermore, the route patrol platform 300 further includes a drone charging station 350, which is used to charge the patrol device 310. The patrol device 310 is placed at the drone charging station 350 when not performing patrol inspections, and the drone charging station 350 is used to charge the patrol device 310 in a dormant state.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the inspection device 310 is a multi-rotor drone equipped with a central processing unit 311, a visible light camera 312, a laser radar 313, and a route patrol module 314. The route patrol module 314 automatically plans the patrol route after processing by the central processing unit 311. The visible light camera 312, the laser radar 313, and the route patrol module 314 are electrically connected to the central processing unit 311. The inspection device 310 uses the laser radar 313 to model the point cloud and three-dimensional laser scanning to generate a high-precision model of the area near the transmission line. The central processing unit 311 processes the route patrol module 314 to plan the inspection route for the inspection device 310. The visible light camera 312 can detect obstacles along the route in real time during the inspection process, so that the inspection device 310 can avoid obstacles in real time, improving the safety of the inspection.

[0037] Furthermore, the CPU 311 is electrically connected to an RTK precision positioning module 315, a dual-optical pan-tilt camera 316, and an infrared imager 317. The RTK precision positioning module 315, combined with the BeiDou system, enables the inspection device 310 to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy, ensuring flight path accuracy and making drone inspections more reliable and efficient. The dual-optical pan-tilt camera 316 and infrared imager 317, combined with image recognition technology, online annotate defects, fault types, and levels of transmission lines on power lines 400 and collector towers 500, creating inspection reports.

[0038] Furthermore, the CPU 311 is electrically connected to a lost navigation module 318. Using the high-precision model of the area near the transmission line created by the laser radar 313, the lost navigation module 318 identifies information about the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500. If the inspection device 310 strays too far, the identified information automatically guides it to the vicinity of the power line 400 or collector line tower 500.

[0039] Furthermore, the central processing unit 311 is electrically connected to a wireless transmission module 319, and the inspection device 310 is in communication with the local client 220 via the wireless transmission module 319. The wireless transmission module 319 transmits recorded information about the power lines 400 or collector towers 500 inspected by the inspection device 310 to the data server 210.

[0040] In summary, the working principle of a fully autonomous inspection system for power transmission and distribution lines of a new energy station according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows: during a specific inspection, the inspection route of the inspection device 310 is designed according to the high-precision model of the area near the transmission line formed by the laser radar 313 based on the actual on-site conditions of the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500. The inspection device 310 conducts monitoring inspections back and forth near the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500, mainly inspecting whether there are line defects in the power line 400 and whether the collector line tower 500 is normal. After each inspection, the inspection data of the inspection device 310 is formed into a daily report and transmitted to the data server 210. The various data of the power line 400 and the collector line tower 500 are transmitted through the local client The 220 control is uploaded to the main control management platform 100 for allocation and then classified and stored by date, so that the staff does not need to patrol on site. By checking the daily inspection data stored in the main control management platform 100, the transmission lines of the power lines 400 and the collection line towers 500 can be inspected. Therefore, by introducing intelligent patrol equipment and managing it instead of manual inspection, the problem of the existing technology that power inspection mainly relies on manual inspection, comprehensively uses sensory organs and some supporting detection instruments, and conducts simple qualitative judgment inspections on related equipment and poles and towers, resulting in a large inspection workload and low efficiency, making it difficult to ensure the inspection quality, and the manual inspection process cannot be digitally recorded, archived, and traced back, and the inspection results are difficult to display digitally.
