The invention discloses an automatic fast
positioning system and method of a pipeline block clearing
robot. Fast magnetic electric sensor carrying positioning systems such as an unmanned aerial vehicle is adopted to detect a
low frequency magnetic signal emitted within the pipeline block clearing
robot. Method of
signal correlation matching is adopted to realize fast and automatic positioning of the pipeline
robot. The automatic fast
positioning system comprises a magnetic electrical sensor velocity and altitude detecting
system, a magnetic electrical sensor
signal receiving
system, a positioning
signal correlated identification, locating displaying
system and the like. During the operation, the pipeline robot emits a
low frequency electromagnetic pulse signal from the pipeline, and the signal can penetrate through the
pipe walls and reaches outside the
pipe for the magnetic electrical sensor to receive. By seeking
convolution sum on theoretical waveform(Uz(t)) and appropriate
voltage signal (U0(t)) of the sensor
receipt signal, the correlation of the theoretical waveform and the appropriate
voltage signal can be judged, then obtained (x0, y0) of the GPS is coordinate value of xoy plane of the pipeline robot, thus realizing fast automatic positioning of the pipeline block clearing robot and sharply improving locating and tracking efficiency as well as location preciousness of the pipeline robot.
