Unmanned aerial vehicle-based inspection system

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent substation inspection devices, and specifically relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based inspection system. The UAV-based inspection system includes multiple position transmitters, an unmanned aerial vehicle, and a charging station. Each position transmitter is suitable for being installed on a meter or power equipment, and is used for transmitting a position signal and an equipment identifier, wherein one meter or power equipment corresponds to one equipment identifier. The unmanned aerial vehicle is used for receiving the position signal and flying to the meter or power equipment corresponding to the equipment identifier, and collecting a dial image of the meter or detecting the temperature of the power equipment. The charging station includes a charging platform for carrying the UAV, a charging sensor for detecting the landing signal of the UAV, and a charging module for charging the UAV. Inspection using the UAV-based inspection system in the scheme is convenient and quick, and safe and reliable. The production efficiency is improved, and the production cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of inspection devices for intelligent substations, and in particular relates to a UAV inspection system. Background technique [0002] Substation is an important national facility, and its normal operation plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the national economy and people's livelihood. In order to ensure the normal and stable operation of various equipment, inspection personnel need to regularly monitor the readings of various meters and equipment temperature and other parameters, but the substation is set outdoors, with a large area and harsh environment. There are many types and quantities of power facilities such as distribution boxes, and most of the monitoring points are located at high places, which brings great troubles to inspection personnel and poses safety hazards. [0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of disciplines such as remote communication and intelligent...

Problems solved by technology

In smart substations, in order to solve the time-consuming, labor-intensive and low-efficiency problems of manual inspections, inspection robots are introduced. However, in actual use, it is found that there are many disadvantages in inspection robots. The track is moving forward. When there are obstacles on the road or a certain section of the road is undergoing maintenance work, it is difficult for the inspection robot to go around

In addition, for high inspection points, the inspection robot cannot reach them. In some cases, the method of looking up and reading can be used, but the reading results are very biased, resulting in data errors and generating a large amount of invalid data.
