The invention discloses a single-wheel self-balancing
rail inspection device and method based on
sound detection. The single-wheel self-balancing
rail inspection device comprises a single-wheel self-balancing
rail inspection device body and a
server terminal. The single-wheel self-balancing track inspection device is placed on a rail, the posture and the balance state of the inspection device are detected through a
gyroscope in the moving process, a rail image is recognized through a tracking camera, and the single-wheel self-balancing track inspection device is controlled to keep a self-balancing state so as to perform tracking movement along the single rail. In the moving process, the rail is knocked at
fixed time or fixed distance, sound is collected, sound data is transmitted to the
server terminal for real-time
sound detection, and the working condition of the rail is distinguished according to
sound classification. According to the invention, the inspection device is driven by means of
camera tracking, self-balancing control and single-wheel advancing, so that the inspection device can walk on a single rail and can be kept stable; meanwhile, sound generated by knocking the rail is collected, the sound is detected through a
machine learning or
deep learning method, the sound is recognized in a multi-classification mode, the rail working condition is judged, and sound-based rail abnormal working condition detection is achieved.
