The rapid development of technology has promoted the strong advantages of drone technology in transmission line inspection. Through fully automatic inspection, it can not only improve efficiency and reduce costs, but also ensure the safe operation of transmission lines. Below, we will introduce the operation process of drone inspection of transmission lines in detail.
1. Deploy drone nests.
First of all, the drone autonomous airport is deployed according to the coverage area of the transmission line, and the key to this step is to choose the right airport location to ensure that the patrol drone can move freely throughout the inspection range. Through the unmanned airport, the drone can take off and land at any time, so as to achieve all-weather inspection services.
2. Point cloud data collection.
Then, the 3D laser point cloud data acquisition of the transmission line was carried out. Using advanced LiDAR technology, we are able to efficiently and accurately obtain 3D structural information of transmission lines. The collected raw data is processed to construct a refined 3D point cloud model of the transmission line, which provides reliable basic data for subsequent inspections.
3. Route task planning.
The transmission line UAV inspection technology is based on the laser point cloud model, and the single-pole tower inspection target is selected through an intelligent algorithm. Fuya's intelligent drone management platform automatically generates three-dimensional inspection routes, which makes the inspection process more efficient and accurate. The planning of the inspection route takes into account the special topography and complex structure of the transmission line, and at the same time supports rapid reuse to similar towers, and only needs to set a plan to achieve 24-hour automatic inspection.
4. Intelligent data management.
In the process of intelligent inspection of Fuya intelligent UAV, the defect recognition algorithm can quickly and accurately find the transmission line problems and output a detailed report, which is helpful to understand the health status of the line. Problem tickets are closely connected with the PMS system, and work orders can be generated immediately when problems are found, which is convenient for the rapid arrangement of subsequent rectification processes.
Through the above transmission line drone inspection operation process, Fuya Intelligent has realized the digitization and intelligence of transmission line inspection. This not only provides a safer and more efficient inspection solution for the power transmission industry, but also promotes the integrated development of technology and energy to a certain extent. In the future, with the continuous innovation of technology, the application prospect of UAVs in transmission line inspection will be broader.
