Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of drone inspection technology, and in particular to an inspection method, device and equipment for an intelligent drone inspection system based on oil and gas stations. Background Art
[0002] Traditional oil and gas site inspection methods typically rely on manual labor, which presents numerous limitations and challenges. Manual inspections require significant human resources and time, and can involve high-risk environments and hard-to-reach areas. Furthermore, due to subjective factors, manual inspections can be difficult to ensure accurate and consistent results. Therefore, a more efficient, safe, and precise inspection method is needed to improve the inspection process.
[0003] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones have become a potential inspection tool. Their flexibility, maneuverability, and aerial photography capabilities allow them to easily access confined areas and high-risk environments, reducing the risk of personnel entering hazardous areas. However, drone inspections still face challenges, such as route planning, target identification and analysis, and real-time processing of inspection data.
[0004] Furthermore, oil and gas station inspections require modeling of target areas, development of inspection plans, and storage and analysis of inspection data. Traditional inspection methods cannot meet these requirements.
[0005] Existing Chinese patent CN116858192B discloses a station inspection method based on drone matrix shooting, the method steps are: obtaining the target area to be inspected and the location information; calculating the shooting position of the drone through the location information of the target area; calculating the drone route based on the shooting waypoint position of the drone, and calculating the camera parameters of the drone shooting; the drone shoots the target area according to the calculated route, obtains the target area atlas after shooting, and completes the drone inspection; the defect of the current technology is that the main key step of the technology belongs to the third step, that is, calculating the drone route and shooting action parameters, that is, generating the drone shooting route. However, for drone inspection, the final shooting atlas only collects images of the target area divided into blocks, and does not solve the key target recognition problem, that is, it does not distinguish and identify the inspection focus targets in the target area and return the corresponding data results. Manual review of the atlas results is still required to supplement the content.
[0006] To this end, there is an urgent need for a real-time intelligent inspection system that can complete the tasks from inspection route planning, fully automatic real-time inspection flight, fully automatic real-time target detection and identification, real-time automatic output and storage and analysis of inspection results, to realize a fully automatic real-time drone inspection system and its inspection method.

[0063] Example 1
[0064] See Figures 1 to 9 Embodiment 1 of the present invention discloses an intelligent inspection system and inspection method for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on an oil and gas station, characterized in that the method comprises:
[0065] S1: Establish the earth coordinate system based on the preset points;
[0066] The Earth-fixed coordinate system, also known as the Earth coordinate system, is a coordinate system fixed on the Earth and rotating with the Earth. If the Earth's tides and plate movements are ignored, the coordinate values of points on the ground are fixed in the Earth-fixed coordinate system. The Earth coordinate system is used as the basis for the intelligent inspection system of drones based on oil and gas stations; it is more convenient to use the Earth-fixed coordinate system to describe the spatial position of the points of each device in the oil and gas station; usually, we regard the location of the oil and gas station as a reduced "Earth", so that the oil and gas station is in this reduced "Earth", and the center of the sphere of this reduced "Earth" is used as the preset base point, that is, the preset point, and the Earth coordinate system applicable to the oil and gas station in the present invention is established based on the preset point; the motion trajectory of the drone described below is located in this Earth coordinate system.
[0067] S2: Using laser point cloud technology, a target area model is established for the target area;
[0068] Through laser point cloud technology, the oil and gas station in the present invention is scanned in all directions, and a three-dimensional model of the oil and gas station is established based on the positional relationship of all oil pipelines and their components in the oil and gas station. For specific graphics, please refer to Figure 2 .
[0069] S3: Formulate an inspection plan for several preset inspection targets in the target area;
[0070] See Figure 2 , the oil and gas station has multiple valves, valve tables and their components, which can be used as inspection targets. For the possible inspection targets in the target area, one or more targets can be arbitrarily selected as inspection targets. The management personnel can customize the inspection plan for the inspection targets and can customize the inspection time, inspection number, inspection angle, inspection height and other parameter information of the target plan; Since the oil and gas station has multiple valves, valve tables and their components with uneven distribution, the visible positions of the multiple valves, valve tables and their components are also different, so the locations that are difficult to shoot can be inspected multiple times and at multiple angles to achieve the accuracy of the inspection information;
[0071] The target area is the area within the oil and gas station.
[0072] S4: Developing a drone inspection route based on the inspection plan;
[0073] For details, see Figure 3 Since oil and gas stations have multiple valves, valve meters and their components, if there is a problem with the drone inspection route, it may cause damage to the drone or even cause more serious accidents; therefore, it is necessary to pre-fabricate the drone inspection route to eliminate potential risks.
[0074] S5: According to the inspection plan, the drone is used to inspect several preset inspection targets and the inspection data is transmitted back in real time;
[0075] The intelligent inspection system receives inspection data sent back by drones and performs real-time AI image algorithm recognition and detection;
[0076] S6: Conduct background discriminant analysis based on the inspection data;
[0077] Conduct background discriminant analysis based on the real-time output of the current inspection target result data;
[0078] S7: Complete the inspection task and store the inspection data;
[0079] The drone completes the inspection and filming task, stores the inspection result data and automatically reports it;
[0080] Preferably, the S3 includes:
[0081] S31: Locking several inspection targets in the target area;
[0082] All possible components of the oil and gas station are considered as potential inspection targets, and the scope within the oil and gas station is locked;
[0083] S32: Select one or more inspection targets as inspection objects;
[0084] Select one or more of the multiple valves, valve meters and their components in the oil and gas station as inspection targets for inspection;
[0085] S33: Customize the inspection plan for the inspection object;
[0086] The customized items of the inspection plan include inspection time, inspection times and parameter information required for the inspection.
[0087] Preferably, the S4 further includes:
[0088] S41: Determine the location of the inspection object;
[0089] Determine the location of one or more predetermined inspection targets;
[0090] S42: Determine the drone's location;
[0091] Determine the position of the drone on the drone platform;
[0092] S43: Determine the relative position of the inspection object and the drone;
[0093] After determining the location of the inspection object and the drone, analyze the obstacles between them;
[0094] S44: Calculate the inspection route of the UAV according to the inspection object and the relative position of the UAV through the automatic trajectory planning algorithm;
[0095] Develop a safe drone inspection route based on the obstacles between the inspection object and the drone;
[0096] Preferably, the S5 includes:
[0097] S51: The drone inspects the inspection object according to the inspection time, inspection number and corresponding drone inspection route;
[0098] S52: The drone moves to the area where the inspection object is located to take photos;
[0099] S53: The images of the area where the inspection object is located and the onboard gas equipment detection data are transmitted back in real time.
[0100] Preferably, the S6 further includes:
[0101] S61: Receive inspection data sent back by the drone through the intelligent inspection system;
[0102] S62: Perform image recognition through the intelligent inspection system and output the result data of the current inspection target
[0103] S63: Compare the real-time output of the current inspection target result data with the normal operating standard range
[0104] S64: Comparing the real-time output result data of the current inspection target with the electrical signal data of the automatic control system;

[0106] S66: Review abnormal situations through drones.
[0107] Example 2

[0109] First, a three-dimensional model of the oil and gas station is created. All equipment and components in the oil and gas station are scanned and a three-dimensional model is created. An earth coordinate system is established based on the oil and gas station, so that the movement trajectory of the drone is within this earth coordinate system.
[0110] The inspection target is preset, and the target is a target valve in the oil and gas station. The information required for the inspection is customized, such as preparing to obtain the safety status of the target valve and the parameters shown by the target valve; determining the position of the UAV for inspection and the position of the target valve, avoiding obstacles between the position of the UAV and the position of the target valve according to the automatic trajectory planning algorithm, and planning a safe path according to the position of the obstacle and the relative position of the position of the UAV for inspection and the target valve; the UAV sets off with a high-precision camera and inspects according to the pre-made safe path; and collects the information required for the formulation; the required information collected by the UAV is fed back in real time; the UAV inspection result data is compared with the normal operating standard range in the background of the UAV intelligent inspection system; and the UAV inspection result data is compared with the electrical signal data of the automatic control system; if the result is abnormal, the intelligent inspection system outputs an alarm message and pushes the UAV platform to review the abnormality;
[0111] Based on the drone hardware platform, a real-time intelligent inspection system is used to complete all tasks, from route planning and inspection flight, to fully automated real-time target detection and identification, to the automatic output, storage, and analysis of inspection results, enabling fully automated, real-time drone inspections. Fully automated inspections can completely replace manual inspection work, saving labor costs and mitigating potential personnel risks in high-risk locations. Low-latency, real-time inspection data transmission accurately reflects the current status of inspection targets, ensuring the same timeliness as traditional manual inspections. High inspection results accuracy avoids the human and accidental biases inherent in manual inspections, ensuring consistent inspection quality.
