Unmanned aerial vehicle capable of realizing automatic inspection of power line and power line inspection method

Abstract

The invention discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of realizing the automatic inspection of a power line and a power line inspection method. The unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a video acquisition unit for collecting the flying direction of an unmanned aerial vehicle and a video facing the direction of the power line, a video analysis unit which is used for analyzing the video collectedby the video acquisition unit and sending a video analysis result to a central processing unit, a power line induction unit which is used for obtaining a voltage value of the power line through electromagnetic induction and sending the voltage value to the central processing unit, a positioning unit for obtaining a real-time position of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the central processing unit forinteracting with other modules and generating control instructions for controlling the flying of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the information of the video analysis unit, the power line induction unit and the positioning unit, a flight control unit which is used for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly according to the control instructions based on the control instructions ofthe central processing unit, and a battery unit for supplying power to other units.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of power line inspection, in particular to an unmanned aerial vehicle capable of automatic power line inspection and a power line inspection method thereof. Background technique [0002] The transmission and distribution circuit is an important part of the power system. Due to the wide coverage area of ​​the overhead transmission line, the complex terrain of the crossing area, and the harsh natural environment, the line foundation, towers, ground wires, and fittings are exposed to the natural environment for a long time. Bear normal mechanical and electrical loads, but also withstand external factors such as lightning strikes, rain, landslides, subsidence, earthquakes and bird damage. These factors will accelerate the aging and fatigue of the line, leading to line fault tripping and threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Power line inspection is a basic work to effectively ensure the s...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] But in fact, in the existing UAV inspection scheme, human control is still indispensable, especially the UAV only transmits the video back, and relies on people to observe the image and check the line. In this way, the UAV must be in operation. Nearby people, or driving with a drone, it is impossible to realize automatic inspection in the true sense, and completely reduce labor costs
