Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of offshore and onshore wind power construction, laser ultrasonic measurement image acquisition, and new energy technology, and more specifically, to a multi-modal obstacle avoidance and path planning system for wind power vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Currently, during the transportation of wind turbine blades for both onshore and offshore wind turbine construction, whether on mountain roads for onshore wind turbine construction or offshore wind turbine construction, wind turbine transport vehicles must navigate complex terrain and environments. Existing transport vehicles present numerous challenges when transporting wind turbine blades. For example, effective obstacle avoidance is difficult, and collisions with obstacles are common, resulting in damage to the blades and even safety accidents.

[0003] Most current transport vehicles are only equipped with simple obstacle avoidance systems and have poor adaptability to complex road conditions. Especially when facing narrow roads, mountain roads, and special sections with a large number of obstacles, they are unable to accurately perceive obstacle information in advance and make reasonable avoidance decisions.

[0004] In addition, existing transport vehicles also have shortcomings in route planning. They are unable to adjust the transport route in time according to real-time road conditions and obstacles. After entering the transport route, if the road conditions and obstacles make it impassable, they are unable to turn around and return, causing transportation obstruction, low transportation efficiency, and increased transportation costs and time costs.

[0005] Most existing wind power transport vehicles do not consider comprehensive perception and analysis of environmental information along the transport route, and lack monitoring and response measures for factors such as weather and light. In severe weather or insufficient light, transport safety cannot be effectively guaranteed.

[0006] In summary, there is at least one of the following technical problems: In the current construction and transportation of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, most transport vehicles are only equipped with simple self-obstacle avoidance systems, which have poor adaptability to complex road conditions. Especially when facing narrow roads, mountain roads, and special sections with a large number of obstacles, they are unable to accurately perceive obstacle information in advance and make reasonable avoidance decisions. They lack multimodal perception systems that include laser measurement, ultrasonic detection, and image acquisition.

[0007] In the current construction and transportation of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, existing transport vehicles are unable to adjust the transport route in a timely manner according to real-time road conditions and obstacles in terms of route planning. After entering the transport route, if the road conditions and obstacles make it impassable, they are unable to turn around and return, causing transportation obstruction, low transportation efficiency, and increased transportation costs and time costs.

[0008] In the current construction and transportation of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, most existing wind turbine transport vehicles do not consider comprehensive perception and analysis of environmental information along the transportation route, and lack monitoring and response measures for factors such as weather and light. In the case of severe weather or insufficient light, transportation safety cannot be effectively guaranteed.

[0009] During the current construction and transportation of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, the detection system relies on the vehicle's own power supply, which can easily lead to battery depletion. New energy vehicles can also lead to power consumption, and solar energy and new energy sources are not fully utilized. Summary of the Invention

[0010] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a multimodal obstacle avoidance and path planning system for specialized wind turbine vehicles. This system addresses the existing problem in the transport of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, where most transport vehicles are equipped with only simple obstacle avoidance systems. These systems are inadequate for complex road conditions, particularly on narrow roads, mountainous roads, and sections with numerous obstacles. These vehicles are unable to accurately perceive obstacles in advance and make appropriate avoidance decisions. Furthermore, they lack a multimodal perception system that combines laser measurement, ultrasonic detection, and image acquisition. Furthermore, during the transport of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, existing transport vehicles are unable to adjust their routes in real-time based on road conditions and obstacle counts. Once on a route, if the route becomes impassable due to road conditions or obstacles, they are unable to turn around and return, hindering transportation efficiency and increasing transportation costs and time. Furthermore, during the transport of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, most existing transport vehicles fail to comprehensively perceive and analyze environmental information along the transport route and lack monitoring and response measures for factors such as weather and light. Consequently, transport safety cannot be effectively guaranteed in inclement weather or low light conditions. During the current construction and transportation of offshore and onshore wind turbine blades, the detection system needs to rely on the vehicle's own power supply, which can easily lead to battery depletion.

The intelligent sensor module 51 collects various sensor information during the operation of the wind power transport vehicle 1. Data, path 52 is the planned route for transporting wind turbine blades 59, obstacles 53 are objects on transport path 52 that may hinder wind turbine transport vehicle 1 and wind turbine blades 59, origin 54 is the departure point of wind turbine transport vehicle 1, and destination 55 is the final destination of wind turbine transport vehicle 1.

[0034] Working Principle: The path guidance detection unit 56, front detection unit 57, and rear detection unit 58 in the detection system, each employing a small detection vehicle 3 or drone, conduct preliminary detection of the transport path 52 using multimodal sensing technologies such as laser measurement, ultrasonic detection, and image acquisition. This assists the wind turbine transport vehicle 1 in its obstacle avoidance process. These units acquire data such as road width, traffic conditions, and the size, location, and shape of obstacles 53, and transmit this data to the master control system 2. Upon receiving the data from the detection system, the master control system 2 analyzes and processes the data using the first data calculation module 5, the first data processing module 6, and the first image processing module 7. The comparison module 8 compares the real-time detection data with pre-set safety standards to determine whether the transport path 52 is potentially hazardous. Based on the processed data and risk assessment results, combined with map information provided by the first map navigation module 11, the path planning module 9 plans the optimal transport path 52. The first simulation demonstration module 10 then simulates the planned path 52 to verify its feasibility. At the same time, the master control system 2 coordinates the actions of the detection system and the wind turbine transport vehicle 1 through the dispatching module 12 to ensure the smooth progress of the transportation process. The wind turbine transport vehicle 1 is equipped with a solar power generation device to provide energy support for itself and the detection system. During the transportation process, the laser measurement system, image acquisition system and ultrasonic detection system in its own obstacle avoidance system perceive the surrounding environment information in real time and feed the data back to the control system of the wind turbine transport vehicle 1. Based on these data and the instructions transmitted by the master control system 2, the control system adjusts the high-flow hydraulic system, and then controls the adjustment frame to adjust the inclination angle and posture of the wind turbine blades 59 to achieve the obstacle avoidance function. In addition, the wind turbine transport vehicle 1 is also equipped with a second display module 46, a second map navigation module 47 and a second simulation demonstration module 48, which are used to display the simulation demonstration results, real-time images and its own operating status transmitted by the master control system 2 to assist the driver in operation.
