[0068] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart is shown of a method for detecting defects in the grounding conductor of a transmission tower according to some embodiments of this specification, specifically including the following steps.

[0069] Step 101: Obtain the physical loss parameters of the grounding body of the transmission tower, and the target reflected wave corresponding to the target ultrasonic wave passing through the grounding body;

[0070] In some embodiments, the execution entity of the method for detecting defects in the grounding electrode of a transmission tower (such as a pre-set computing device) can be connected to a target device via a wired or wireless connection. Then, it acquires the physical loss parameters of the grounding electrode of the transmission tower, as well as the target reflected wave corresponding to the target ultrasonic wave passing through the grounding electrode. The physical loss parameters include the cross-sectional loss rate and the equivalent impedance change rate. The physical loss parameters can refer to various parameters obtained by measuring changes in the physical properties of the grounding electrode caused by physical wear or natural corrosion. For example, the physical loss parameters can include the cross-sectional loss rate and the equivalent impedance change rate. The cross-sectional loss rate can refer to the ratio of the currently lost cross-sectional area of ​​the grounding electrode to the intact cross-sectional area. The equivalent impedance change rate can refer to the ratio of the change in equivalent resistance due to cross-sectional area loss of the grounding electrode to time. When measuring the grounding electrode of a transmission tower, common ultrasonic equipment such as a piezoelectric transducer can be used to excite ultrasonic guided wave signals, which are then propagated along the grounding electrode. When the ultrasonic wave encounters a defect, it is reflected. The reflected ultrasonic wave signal is collected, and calculations are performed based on the reflected signal and the target ultrasonic wave to determine the defect in the grounding electrode.

[0071] It should be noted that the aforementioned wireless connection methods may include, but are not limited to, 3G / 4G / 5G connections, WiFi connections, Bluetooth connections, WiMAX connections, Zigbee connections, UWB (ultra wideband) connections, and other currently known or future wireless connection methods.

[0072] Step 102: Preprocess the target reflected wave to obtain the signal to be measured.

[0073] In some embodiments, the target reflected wave can be preprocessed through the following steps:

[0074] Step 1: Perform wavelet threshold denoising on the target reflected wave to obtain the denoised signal.

[0075] Part Two: Based on the blind source separation algorithm, the noise-reducing signal is processed to remove interference, and the signal to be tested is obtained.

[0076] Wavelet thresholding denoising is a signal processing technique based on wavelet transform. Its core idea is to decompose the signal into sub-bands of different frequencies and suppress noise by utilizing the differences in characteristics between noise and effective signals in the wavelet domain (such as different amplitude distributions). Furthermore, wavelet thresholding denoising not only achieves multi-resolution signal representation through wavelet decomposition, improving noise suppression capabilities, but also captures local features in both the time and frequency domains, preventing them from affecting subsequently acquired time, frequency, and time-frequency domain features. Blind source separation algorithms are signal processing techniques that do not require prior knowledge of signal mixing methods or source signal characteristics. They can separate the original independent source signals from multiple mixed observation signals, removing multipath reflection interference. By combining wavelet thresholding denoising and blind source separation algorithms, noise can be removed and interference reduced while preserving as many local features in the time and frequency domains as possible, making subsequent time-frequency domain signal processing more accurate.

[0077] Step 103: Extract features from the signal to be tested to obtain various feature information.

[0078] In some embodiments, feature extraction from the signal under test can yield various feature information, including time-domain feature information, frequency-domain feature information, and time-frequency-domain feature information. Feature information can refer to data extracted from the signal for different directions, domains, spatial domains, etc. Different feature information can express information about the signal in different dimensions, thereby enabling data analysis of the signal from different perspectives.

[0079] In some optional implementations, feature extraction is performed on the signal under test to obtain various feature information, including: time-domain feature extraction to obtain peak factor and waveform kurtosis; frequency-domain feature extraction to obtain power spectrum centroid and harmonic distortion rate; time-frequency domain feature extraction to obtain wavelet packet energy entropy and Cohen distribution cross term energy; and peak factor, waveform kurtosis, power spectrum centroid, harmonic distortion rate, wavelet packet energy entropy, and Cohen distribution cross term energy are determined as various feature information.

[0080] The combined parameters of peak factor, waveform kurtosis, and wavelet packet energy entropy can better explain the corrosion point discharge pulse and energy distribution anomalies, that is, the analysis of local corrosion.

[0081] The combined parameters of harmonic distortion rate and power spectrum centroid can better explain the harmonic and resonant frequency shifts caused by increased contact resistance, that is, the analysis of whether the connection has become loose.

[0082] The energy parameters of the cross term in the Cohen distribution can better explain the sudden increase in energy of transient impact and cross disturbance during fracture, that is, the analysis for fracture or crack.

[0083] Although the above parameters are all commonly used in this field, and their meanings will not be further explained in detail, the combination of these parameters was determined through extensive experimentation. Choosing the above parameter combination allows for a detailed analysis of grounding defects from multiple perspectives, thereby increasing the calculation accuracy of the embodiments of this invention.

[0084] Step 104: Determine the comprehensive defect information of the grounding body of the transmission tower based on the various physical loss parameters and characteristic information.

[0085] In some embodiments, the comprehensive defect information of the transmission tower grounding electrode can be determined based on various physical loss parameters and characteristic information through the following steps:

[0086] The first step is to obtain the number of feature types, the preset first weight and initial value of each feature type, the test calibration value determined by experiments for each feature type, the historical standard deviation determined by historical data for each feature type, the preset material attenuation coefficient, maximum allowable cross-sectional loss rate and equivalent impedance benchmark value corresponding to the grounding electrode, and the preset second weight for each physical loss parameter.

[0087] The first weight refers to the preset weight of each type of feature information in the calculation. The test calibration value refers to the parameter value of each type of feature information under normal conditions, determined through testing. The historical standard deviation refers to the standard deviation between the parameter value obtained in each previous calculation and the test calibration value. The material attenuation coefficient refers to the physical quantity of signal loss after the signal passes through the grounding electrode. This material attenuation coefficient can be measured. The maximum allowable cross-sectional loss rate refers to a preset threshold for the cross-sectional loss rate; once this threshold is exceeded, the grounding electrode cannot continue to work normally and needs to be scrapped. The equivalent impedance reference value refers to the preset impedance value under normal conditions. The second weight refers to the weight of each physical loss parameter in the final calculation and scoring; this data is set based on experience.

[0088] The second step involves calculating a defect score based on the number of feature types, the first weight, the initial feature value, the experimental calibration value, the historical standard deviation, each physical loss parameter, the corresponding second weight and feature information, and the preset first calculation formula. The defect score refers to the score calculated for the defect as described above. This score can be used for response analysis based on preset simple indicators; for example, the defect score can range from 0 to 100, and different response measures can be taken for different defect scores.

[0089] As an example, the first calculation includes:

[0090]

[0091] in, S Indicates defect score. n Indicates the number of feature types. w i Indicates the first i The first weight of the feature information, F i Indicates the first i Initial values ​​of the features of the feature information μ i Indicates the first i Test calibration values ​​for various feature information σ i Indicates the first i The historical standard deviation of this characteristic λ Indicates the material attenuation coefficient. L Indicates the cross-sectional loss rate. L max Indicates the maximum allowable cross-sectional loss rate. Z cur Z represents the rate of change of equivalent impedance, and Z represents the reference value of equivalent impedance.

[0092] in, Calculating the Euclidean distance of multiple feature information from the normal state can reflect the degree of abnormality of the defect, thereby enabling a first-level judgment analysis of the grounding body.

[0093] By amplifying the sensitivity to high impedance changes and combining the combined effects of cross-sectional loss and impedance changes, a second-angle judgment and analysis of defects in the grounding electrode can be performed.

[0094] The first calculation formula can be used to reflect the degree of defect abnormality by calculating the Euclidean distance of multiple characteristic information deviating from the normal state. On the other hand, it can amplify the sensitivity of high impedance changes and combine the combined effect of cross-sectional loss and impedance changes to make a second-angle judgment and analysis on the defects of the grounding body. This allows for multi-level analysis of the defects of the grounding body and obtain more accurate analysis results.

[0095] The third step is to determine the defect level of the transmission tower grounding electrode based on the defect classification index corresponding to the material of the grounding electrode and the defect score.

[0096] Defect grading indicators can refer to preset criteria used to judge the severity of defects based on different materials, thus determining the defect level. This allows for a simple and clear display of defects, enabling users to perform corresponding actions based on the defect level, such as replacement or targeted maintenance.

[0097] As an example, when the material is copper, defects can be divided into the following four levels:

[0098]

[0099] When the material is galvanized steel, the method for judging its defects is similar to that for copper materials, but the specific data are different.

[0100] The fourth step is to generate comprehensive defect information based on the defect score and defect level.

[0101] Comprehensive defect information can refer to comprehensive information generated based on defect scores and defect levels. This comprehensive information can be one or a combination of any of the following, including but not limited to: numbers, graphics, tables, symbols, strings, videos, audio, or other content that can represent defect scores and defect levels.

[0102] The beneficial effects of one of the embodiments in this specification include at least the following: by acquiring the physical loss parameters of the grounding body of the transmission tower and the target reflected wave corresponding to the target ultrasonic wave passing through the grounding body, the target reflected wave is preprocessed to obtain the signal to be measured; features are extracted from the signal to be measured to obtain various feature information including time domain feature information, frequency domain feature information and time-frequency domain feature information; based on each physical loss parameter and feature information, the comprehensive defect information of the grounding body of the transmission tower is determined, and the relevant information of the defect of the grounding body of the transmission tower can be accurately determined.

[0103] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when it is determined that there is a defect in the grounding body of the transmission tower, obtaining the transmission timestamp and first frequency tag corresponding to the target ultrasonic wave, and the reception timestamp and second frequency tag corresponding to the target reflected wave; calculating the transmission and reception time delays of the target ultrasonic wave and the target reflected wave based on the transmission timestamp, reception timestamp, first frequency tag and second frequency tag; performing time-domain analysis on the transmission and reception time delays to calculate the location information of the defect.

[0104] Transmit / receive timestamps refer to the times at which the target ultrasonic signal is transmitted or the target reflected wave signal is received. These timestamps can be based on preset frequency records and can be set as needed. First / second frequency tags refer to the frequency tags corresponding to multiple frequency bands of the target ultrasonic signal / target reflected wave signal. By using the corresponding first / second frequency tags, the corresponding wavebands of the target ultrasonic signal / target reflected wave signal can be selected. Then, based on the corresponding wavebands, the time from transmitting the target ultrasonic signal to receiving the target reflected wave, i.e., the transmit / receive time delay, can be calculated. Based on the transmit / receive time delay, the location information of the defect can be calculated, increasing the analytical perspective of grounding defects.

[0105] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a process flow chart of a method for detecting defects in the grounding conductor of a transmission tower, provided in some other embodiments of this specification, which specifically includes the following steps.

[0106] Step 201: Obtain the physical loss parameters of the grounding body of the transmission tower, and the target reflected wave corresponding to the target ultrasonic wave passing through the grounding body. The physical loss parameters include the cross-sectional loss rate and the equivalent impedance change rate.

[0107] Step 202: Perform wavelet threshold denoising on the target reflected wave to obtain the denoised signal.

[0108] Step 203: Perform interference removal processing on the denoised signal based on the blind source separation algorithm to obtain the signal to be tested.

[0109] Step 204: Extract features from the signal under test to obtain various feature information, including time-domain feature information, frequency-domain feature information, and time-frequency-domain feature information.

[0110] Step 205: Obtain the number of feature types of feature information, the first weight and initial value of each type of feature information, the test calibration value of each type of feature information determined by experiment, the historical standard deviation of each type of feature information determined by historical data, the preset material attenuation coefficient, maximum allowable cross-sectional loss rate and equivalent impedance benchmark value corresponding to the grounding body, and the preset second weight for each physical loss parameter.

[0111] Step 206: Calculate the defect score based on the number of feature types, the first weight, the initial value of the feature, the test calibration value, the historical standard deviation, each physical loss parameter, the corresponding second weight and feature information, and the preset first calculation formula.

[0112] Step 207: Determine the defect level of the transmission tower grounding electrode based on the defect grading index corresponding to the material of the grounding electrode and the defect score.

[0113] Step 208: Generate comprehensive defect information based on defect scores and defect levels.

[0114] In some embodiments, steps 201-208 are related to Figure 1 The specific implementation of the corresponding steps in those embodiments and the resulting technical effects can be found in the following references. Figure 1 The steps involved will not be elaborated upon here.
