Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drone inspection technology, and in particular to an intelligent inspection device for water intake lines. Background Technology
[0002] As an overhead power transmission line that supplies power to water replenishment equipment, the safe and stable operation of the water intake line is crucial to the water supply system. Traditional manual inspection methods are significantly constrained by factors such as terrain and weather, resulting in problems such as low efficiency and incomplete inspections. They are unable to meet the inspection needs in long-distance and complex environments, and pose significant safety hazards. With the development of technology, drone inspection technology has become an important means to solve the above problems due to its advantages such as high mobility, high efficiency, and ability to reach areas that are difficult for humans to access. By being equipped with high-definition cameras, sensors, and other equipment, drones can quickly acquire real-time images and data of the lines, improving the quality and efficiency of inspections and effectively making up for the shortcomings of manual inspections.
[0003] In areas beyond the coverage of remote sensing signals, drone inspections face significant challenges. For example, in remote mountainous areas, wilderness, and complex canyons, signals are easily weakened or interrupted by terrain obstruction and interference, preventing drones from operating normally. In such areas with weak signal coverage, reliable inspections by drones are difficult, and positioning accuracy drops significantly due to signal instability. Even in areas with signal coverage, insufficient signal stability can cause drones to lose control of their flight attitude and experience data transmission interruptions. This not only affects the inspection results but may also lead to safety risks, making it difficult to detect and address potential line hazards in a timely manner and threatening the safety of the water supply system. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the problem that existing inspection equipment cannot carry out inspection work normally in areas beyond the coverage of remote sensing signals, making it difficult to reliably inspect areas with weak signal coverage and poor positioning accuracy by drone, this utility model provides an intelligent inspection device for water intake lines.
[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A smart inspection device for water intake lines includes a signal relay positioning auxiliary component and an inspection drone component; the signal relay positioning auxiliary component is distributed along the water intake line inspection route of the inspection drone component; the ground cable provides power and communication for the signal relay positioning auxiliary component; the signal relay positioning auxiliary component includes a drone monitoring module, a relay station base, a positioning marker light, a fault alarm light, a data processing module, and a relay antenna; the inspection drone component includes a drone body and a relay station signal transceiver module; the drone monitoring module includes a multi-functional probe module and a built-in radar module. The multi-functional probe module is composed of a visible light probe module and an infrared night vision probe module, and multiple sets of multi-functional probe modules are arranged around the outer shell of the drone monitoring module.
[0006] Furthermore, a positioning marker light is installed at the top of the drone monitoring module; a fault alarm light is installed at the top of the positioning marker light.
[0007] Furthermore, a data processing module is installed at the top of the fault alarm light; a relay antenna is installed at the top of the data processing module.
[0008] Furthermore, a relay station base is fixedly connected to the lower end of the drone monitoring module, and the relay station base is fixedly set at a high point along the water intake line.
[0009] Furthermore, the front end of the drone body is equipped with an inspection probe module, which consists of a visible light probe module and an infrared night vision probe module; four quadcopter wings are set at the four corners of the drone body; LED cruise lights are set on the outer shell of the quadcopter wings.
[0010] Furthermore, a relay station signal transceiver module is installed at the lower part of the drone body, and the relay station signal transceiver module is wirelessly connected to the relay antenna.
[0011] Furthermore, the relay station signal transceiver module is used for data and auxiliary positioning signal communication between the signal relay positioning auxiliary component and the inspection drone component.
[0012] The beneficial effects are: This utility model realizes the monitoring and radar positioning of the surrounding environment and the inspection drone component through the drone monitoring module with signal relay positioning auxiliary component. It utilizes the four sets of multi-functional probe modules of the drone monitoring module to realize day and night monitoring of the environment and visual recognition function of the inspection drone component. In conjunction with the radar module built into the drone monitoring module, it performs beyond-line-of-sight remote positioning and tracking monitoring of the inspection drone component, improves the working positioning accuracy of the inspection drone component, and assists the remote control platform of the inspection drone component to complete the accurate positioning of the drone flight path.
[0013] By setting up positioning marker lights and fault alarm lights, the positioning marker lights emit green light to assist the inspection probe module of the inspection drone component in visual recognition and positioning, thereby improving the navigational guidance capability of the drone during its patrol. When the inspection drone component detects an abnormality in the water intake line where the signal relay positioning auxiliary component is located, it activates the fault alarm light through wireless signal communication. The fault alarm light emits a flashing red light to indicate that the line has a fault, thereby improving the convenience of subsequent maintenance workers in troubleshooting.
[0014] By configuring a data processing module, relay antenna, and relay station signal transceiver module, the data processing module enables the signal relay positioning auxiliary component to perform data processing. The relay station signal transceiver module and the relay antenna are wirelessly connected, allowing the coordinate data of the signal relay positioning auxiliary component to be transmitted to the relay station signal transceiver module to assist the inspection drone component in achieving high-precision positioning. Even in environments with no light or limited wireless network coverage, the relay antenna of the signal relay positioning auxiliary component provides high-precision navigation and signal relay functions for the inspection drone component, enabling automatic cruise inspection without the need for remote control. This significantly improves the reliability of long-distance automated inspection of drones. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figures 1-5As shown, an intelligent inspection device for water intake lines includes a signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 and an inspection drone component 2. The signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 is distributed along the water intake line inspection route of the inspection drone component 2. The ground cable provides power and communication for the signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1. The signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 includes a drone monitoring module 101, a relay station base 102, a positioning marker light 103, a fault alarm light 104, a data processing module 105, and a relay antenna 106. The inspection drone component 2 includes a drone body 201 and a relay station signal transceiver module 205. The drone monitoring module 101 includes a multi-functional probe module and a built-in radar module. The multi-functional probe module is composed of a visible light probe module and an infrared night vision probe module. Multiple sets of multi-functional probe modules are arranged around the outer shell of the drone monitoring module 101.
[0024] The upper end of the drone monitoring module 101 is equipped with a positioning marker light 103; the upper end of the positioning marker light 103 is equipped with a fault alarm light 104.
[0025] A data processing module 105 is installed at the upper end of the fault alarm light 104; a relay antenna 106 is installed at the upper end of the data processing module 105.
[0026] The lower end of the drone monitoring module 101 is also fixedly connected to a relay station base 102, which is set at a high point along the water intake line, such as the middle or top of a tower.
[0027] The front end of the drone body 201 is equipped with an inspection probe module 203, which consists of a visible light probe module and an infrared night vision probe module; each of the four corners of the drone body 201 is equipped with a quadcopter wing 202; LED cruise lights 204 are installed on the outer shell of the quadcopter wing 202.
[0028] When using this device, the UAV monitoring module 101 of the signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 monitors and radar positions the surrounding environment and the inspection UAV component 2. The four multi-functional probe modules of the UAV monitoring module 101 are used to monitor the environment day and night and to perform visual recognition of the inspection UAV component 2. In conjunction with the radar module built into the UAV monitoring module 101, the inspection UAV component 2 is remotely positioned and tracked beyond line of sight, improving the working positioning accuracy of the inspection UAV component 2 and assisting the remote control platform of the inspection UAV component 2 in accurately positioning the UAV's flight path.
[0029] With the setting of positioning marker light 103 and fault alarm light 104, positioning marker light 103 emits green light to assist the inspection probe module 203 of inspection drone component 2 in visual recognition and positioning, thereby improving the navigational guidance capability of the drone during its patrol. When inspection drone component 2 detects an abnormality at the location of the water intake line where signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 is located, it activates fault alarm light 104 through wireless signal communication. Fault alarm light 104 emits flashing red light to indicate that a fault has occurred at the location of the line, thereby improving the convenience for subsequent maintenance workers to troubleshoot the fault.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a relay station signal transceiver module 205 is provided at the lower end of the UAV body 201. The relay station signal transceiver module 205 is wirelessly connected to the relay antenna 106. The relay station signal transceiver module 205 is used for data and auxiliary positioning signal communication between the signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 and the inspection UAV component 2.
[0032] By using the relay station signal transceiver module 205 and the relay antenna 106 to wirelessly connect, data and auxiliary positioning signal communication between the signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 and the inspection drone component 2 is realized.
[0033] By configuring the data processing module 105, relay antenna 106, and relay station signal transceiver module 205, the data processing module 105 enables the data processing function of the signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1. The relay station signal transceiver module 205 and the relay antenna 106 are wirelessly connected, thereby using the coordinate data transmitted from the signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 to the relay station signal transceiver module 205 to assist the inspection drone component 2 in achieving high-precision positioning. Even in environments with no light or lack of wireless network signal coverage, the relay antenna 106 of the signal relay positioning auxiliary component 1 provides high-precision navigation and signal relay functions for the inspection drone component 2, enabling the automatic cruise inspection function of the inspection drone component 2 without relying on a remote controller, greatly improving the reliability of long-distance automated inspection of drones.
