Detailed Description
In order to make the above and other features and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the specific details need not be employed to practice the present invention. In other instances, well-known steps or operations are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the invention.
Example one
The invention provides an intelligent inspection method of a wind driven generator in a non-stop state, which can be executed by a controller of an unmanned aerial vehicle, an onboard computer or other devices with data processing functions, and as shown in figure 2, the method can comprise the following steps:
and step S11, four flying waypoints of the unmanned aerial vehicle are generated according to the yaw direction of the fan and the coordinates of the center of the hub of the fan, wherein two of the four flying waypoints are distributed in the front direction of the fan blade, the other two flying waypoints are distributed in the back direction of the fan blade, the four flying waypoints form a rectangular shape, the first edge of the rectangular shape penetrates through the coordinates of the center of the hub and is perpendicular to a disc formed by the rotation of the fan blade, and the coordinates of the center of the hub are superposed with the midpoint of the first edge.
Specifically, after the yaw direction of the fan and the coordinates of the hub center are obtained, the orientation of the fan, the positions of the front face and the back face of the fan are determined by the scheme, four flight waypoints are planned around the front face and the back face of the fan, the flight waypoints are waypoints to be passed by when the unmanned aerial vehicle patrols and examines, and in combination with fig. 3, the four flight waypoints are distributed on the front face and the back face of the fan in pairs, namely, the points C and D are distributed on the front face of the fan, the points E and F are distributed on the back face of the fan, the point J is an engine room of the fan, the point Y is a disc formed by rotation of blades of the fan in an operation mode, the point B is the hub center of the fan, the center of the disc is also the center of the disc, and the four points CDEF form a rectangle.
And step S13, determining three sides except the first side in the rectangular shape as the routing inspection path of the unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the shortest distance from each side of the routing inspection path to the disc is the first safety distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the horizontal direction.
Specifically, with reference to fig. 3, one side FC of the rectangle passes through the hub center B and is perpendicular to the disc Y, the present solution takes the other three sides of the rectangle as the path of the unmanned aerial vehicle inspection fan, and the inspection path sequentially flies from point C to point D, then from point D to point E, and finally from point E to point F, that is, the inspection path is composed of three sub-paths, CD, DE, and EF, which form a rectangle, because one side FC of the rectangle is perpendicular to the disc Y, the plane of the rectangle is also perpendicular to the disc Y, the elevations of the four points in the rectangle shape and the hub center are the same, which causes the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly around from the front of the fan to the back of the fan, and all three sides (three sub-paths) of the rectangle in the same plane are traveled, and the shortest distance from each sub-path of the disc Y is the first safe distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the horizontal direction, namely, the distance from any point in the three sub-paths to the disc is larger than or equal to the first safety distance, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle is ensured to fly to the back of the fan from the front of the fan in the shortest distance and safely.
With reference to fig. 3, the shortest distance from each of the three sub paths to the disk Y is described as follows, and any point in the sub path CD, which can form a perpendicular line from the disk Y, which is the shortest distance from the sub path to the disk Y, is taken as a point in the sub path EF, which can form a perpendicular line from the disk Y, which is the shortest distance from the sub path to the disk Y, and the intersection point of the plane on which the disk is located and the DE, which is the shortest distance from the sub path DE to the disk Y, that is, the distance from any point in the three sub paths to the disk Y, is equal to or greater than the first safety distance.
Step S15, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the back direction of the fan blade from the front direction of the fan blade along the routing inspection path so that the visible light camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle acquires images of all blades of the fan, wherein when the unmanned aerial vehicle moves along the routing inspection path, the fan is in the operation mode of blade rotation.
Specifically, the unmanned aerial vehicle of the present solution is equipped with a visible light camera for collecting visible light images of the fan blade, and with reference to fig. 4, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies three paths of CD, DE and EF, and moves from the front direction of the fan blade to the back direction of the fan blade, and the visible light camera on the unmanned aerial vehicle takes pictures at the same time, where it needs to be noted that, because the fan is in an operation mode, the fan blade is in a rotation state, and the plane (rectangular plane) where the inspection path is located is perpendicular to the disc Y, therefore, when the unmanned aerial vehicle hovers at any one shooting point in the inspection path and the fan blade rotates, one blade of the fan will necessarily pass through the plane where the rectangle is located, at this time, the light camera can capture partial area images of the blade in the current viewing area, and multiple shooting points of visible light can be set in the inspection path, along with the rotation of the blades and the image acquisition of a plurality of shooting points of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the routing inspection path, the visible light camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled on the routing inspection path to hover at a plurality of points and continuously shoot so as to acquire images of all the blades of the fan.
For example, the fan has three blades, a blade L1, a blade L2 and a blade L3, taking a point Q on the sub-routing inspection path CD as an example in conjunction with fig. 4, the drone hovers at the point Q and photographs the blades by using the visible light camera, because the point Q is on a plane of a rectangle, which is perpendicular to the disc Y, there is necessarily a moment when one blade of the fan passes through the plane of the rectangle, that is, a viewing area of the visible light camera at the point Q (a dotted line part related to the point Q in fig. 4), for example, at a first moment, the blade L1 of the fan passes through the viewing area at the point Q, the visible light camera of the drone photographs an image of L1 under the viewing area at the point Q, after photographing an image of L1, at a second moment, the blade L2 of the fan rotates through the viewing area at the point Q, the visible light camera of the drone photographs an image of L2 under the viewing area at the point Q, after the second moment, at a third moment, the blade L3 of the fan rotates through the view area of the point Q, and the visible light camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle then takes an image of L3 under the view area of the point Q, that is, the unmanned aerial vehicle remains stationary at the point Q, and after a period from the first moment to the third moment, the visible light camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle can acquire images of all blades of the fan under the current view area, where it should be noted that, when the positions of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the routing inspection path are different, images of different positions of different fan blades can be acquired. For example, in the period from the first time to the third time, the image of the first region of the fan blade L1, the image of the first region of the fan blade L2, and the image of the first region of the fan blade L3 are acquired by the visible light camera of the drone at point Q. At the fourth moment, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the point R to hover, and during the periods of the fourth moment, the fifth moment and the sixth moment, the image of the second area of the fan blade L1, the image of the second area of the fan blade L2 and the image of the second area of the fan blade L3 are collected by the visible light camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle at the point R. Therefore, a plurality of hovering waypoints (visible light camera shooting points) are set in the routing inspection path, the unmanned aerial vehicle flies through the whole routing inspection path and shoots at each hovering waypoint, the visible light camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle can acquire all images of all areas of each blade of the fan, and then the images are pieced together to obtain the image of the whole blade of the fan.
It needs to be explained here that, this scheme only needs to plan four flight waypoints through the route of patrolling and examining of above-mentioned "three limits of rectangle", under fan blade keeps the rotatory condition, can gather fan blade's all images, compare with prior art's "shape of falling Y" route (as shown in fig. 1), this scheme adopts the mode of letting "unmanned aerial vehicle hover, the fan changes" and need not to let unmanned aerial vehicle fly through all blades, it is simple and apart from few to patrol and examine the route, great promotion the efficiency of patrolling and examining, gather fan blade's image through the route of patrolling and examining of above-mentioned "three limits of rectangle", can fly to the fan back with the shortest distance from the fan front under the condition of guaranteeing unmanned aerial vehicle's safety, the flight degree of difficulty greatly reduced, simultaneously, this scheme need not the fan when patrolling and examining, the loss of patrolling and examining has been avoided shutting down. Consequently this scheme has been solved in prior art, will control unmanned aerial vehicle after shutting down and fly through a plurality of blades in proper order, and the flight waypoint is many, patrol and examine the long and complicated path, the long technical problem of flight time.
Optionally, the routing inspection path includes a plurality of hovering waypoints, where in step S15, the step of controlling the drone to move along the routing inspection path from the front direction of the fan blade to the back direction of the fan blade includes:
And S151, adjusting the postures of the visible light camera and the laser radar of the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the specific position of the coordinate of the current hovering waypoint in the routing inspection path, and controlling the visible light camera to acquire images and the laser radar to acquire point cloud.
Specifically, a plurality of hovering waypoints can be included in the route of patrolling and examining, and the waypoint of hovering hovers when unmanned aerial vehicle flies to this point to supply unmanned aerial vehicle visible light camera to shoot under the current region of framing, in order to obtain under the current region of framing, the image of all blades of fan. Preferably, the multiple hovering waypoints can be uniformly planned in the routing inspection path, namely, the distances between the hovering waypoints are the same in each sub-path of the three sub-paths, and it is ensured that the images of different areas of the fan blade can be acquired by the multiple hovering waypoint visible light cameras and the like. The unmanned aerial vehicle of this scheme can carry on visible light camera and laser radar simultaneously, this scheme can be according to the coordinate of the waypoint of hovering specific position adjustment unmanned aerial vehicle's in patrolling and examining the route gesture of visible light camera and laser radar, so that visible light camera, laser radar is in the best gesture of data collection, combine figure 4, for example, when unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the waypoint of hovering on the sub-route CD, the pitch angle that this scheme then controlled data acquisition equipment (visible light camera and laser radar) keeps the level, camera yaw direction and fan yaw direction become 180 contained angles, carry out data acquisition. When the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the hovering point on the sub-path EF, the pitch angle of the data acquisition equipment is kept horizontal, the yaw angle of the visible light camera and the yaw angle of the fan form an included angle of 0 degree, data acquisition is carried out, the fixed attitude acquisition in the prior art is different, and therefore the attitude of the data acquisition equipment is controlled through the hovering point in different routing inspection paths based on the unmanned aerial vehicle, so that the visible light camera and the laser radar are in the best acquisition attitude acquisition data.
Step S153, determining that all the blades of the fan pass through the framing area of the visible light camera at the current hovering waypoint according to the number of the point clouds, wherein under the condition that it is determined that all the blades of the fan do not pass through the framing area of the visible light camera at the current hovering waypoint, the unmanned aerial vehicle is controlled to continue collecting the visible light image at the current hovering waypoint until all the blades pass through the framing area of the visible light camera at the current hovering waypoint.
And S155, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to stop image acquisition at the hovering waypoint and fly to the next hovering waypoint until the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the last hovering waypoint in the routing inspection path.
It is concrete, how to let unmanned aerial vehicle know that three blade all passes through visible light camera's the region of framing is the problem that this embodiment will be solved, and this scheme utilizes laser radar to gather fan blade's some clouds to judge according to the number in some clouds. For example, in the period from the first time to the third time, the visible light camera of the drone should acquire the image of the first area of the fan blade L1, the image of the first area of the fan blade L2, and the image of the first area of the fan blade L3, and normally, from theoretical analysis, when the first area of each fan blade passes through the view area of the visible light camera, the laser radar may acquire N point clouds from the first area of each fan blade, so if the number of the point clouds acquired by the laser radar in the period from the first time to the third time is less than 3N, it is indicated that all three blades of the fan do not pass through the view area of the visible light camera, and at this time, the drone does not complete the image acquisition task at the current hover waypoint, and the drone is controlled to remain hovering at the current waypoint and continue to perform the image acquisition. If the number of the point clouds acquired by the laser radar from the first moment to the third moment is larger than or equal to 3N, the three blades of the fan pass through a viewing area of the visible light camera, at the moment, the unmanned aerial vehicle finishes an image acquisition task at the current hovering waypoint, the unmanned aerial vehicle can go to the next hovering waypoint, and then the steps S151 to 153 are continuously executed until the unmanned aerial vehicle flies to the last hovering waypoint in the routing inspection path and acquires all images of all the blades of the fan. It should be noted that the acquisition area of the lidar point cloud may be the same as the viewing area of the visible light image acquisition image. Through this embodiment, can be so that whether all blades of fan all pass through the current view finding area of hovering the waypoint for unmanned aerial vehicle accuracy knows, avoided on the one hand to gather the number incomplete, avoided on the other hand to gather data repetition again. It should be further noted that the laser radar in the present solution works all the time, and the visible light camera works when the hovering navigation point navigates and remains suspended.
Optionally, the step S153 of determining whether all the blades of the fan pass through the view finding area of the visible light camera at the current hovering waypoint according to the number of the point clouds includes:
and step S1531, acquiring the rotating speed of the fan.
Step S1533, the number of standard point clouds associated with the rotation speed is obtained.
Step S1535, under the condition that the number of the point clouds is not smaller than that of the standard point clouds, judging that all blades of the fan pass through a view finding area of the visible light camera under the current hovering waypoint.
The method comprises the steps of acquiring the number of point clouds acquired by a laser radar in a view area of a fan blade, and judging whether all the fan blades pass through the view area of the visible light camera under the current hovering waypoint or not. It should be noted here that the laser radar of this embodiment has an effect in order to determine whether all the blades pass through the view finding area at the current hovering waypoint, and may determine whether all the blades pass through the view finding area at the current hovering waypoint by the number of point clouds acquired by the laser radar at different fan rotation speeds. In the steps S1531 to S1533, whether all the blades pass through the view finding area under the current hovering waypoint is judged by combining the rotating speed of the fan and the number of the point clouds acquired by the laser radar, so that whether all the blades pass through the view finding area under the current hovering waypoint is judged more accurately.
Optionally, before controlling the drone to stop image acquisition at the hovering waypoint and fly to the next hovering waypoint in step S155, the method of the present application may further include:
step S1541, determining a first point cloud closest to the laser radar from the point clouds acquired by the laser radar, and obtaining a first distance between the first point cloud and the laser radar.
Step S1543, determining that the first distance is not less than a first safety distance of the drone in the horizontal direction.
Specifically, in the scheme, during the process of the unmanned aerial vehicle inspection, along with the sudden change of environmental factors, the yaw direction of the fan may change, at this time, if the yaw direction of the fan changes greatly, the unmanned aerial vehicle continues to inspect along the unchanged inspection path, and the contact blade can be generated, so that safety problems occur, therefore, before flying from the current hovering point to the next hovering point, the unmanned aerial vehicle screens out the first point cloud with the shortest distance from a plurality of point clouds collected by a laser radar, wherein the first point cloud is the point cloud of the fan blade, namely, the scheme can judge the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the fan blade, if the distance between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the fan blade is smaller than the first safety distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the horizontal direction, the fact that the yaw angle changes at this time is explained, the scheme does not control the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly to the next hovering point, only under the condition that the first distance is determined to be not smaller than the first safety distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the horizontal direction, the present solution executes the method of step S155.
It should be noted here that in the prior art, often adopt and judge whether fan yaw takes place big change, thereby decide unmanned aerial vehicle to stop flying, but real-time calculation yaw often calculated the volume is bigger, and receive environmental factor's change yaw angle calculation inaccurate easily, and this embodiment compares with prior art, need not to calculate the yaw angle, only need directly judge whether the distance between fan blade and unmanned aerial vehicle or the lidar changes through the laser radar point cloud, under the condition that changes, this scheme then does not control unmanned aerial vehicle and continues to fly to next navigation point of hovering, guarantee unmanned aerial vehicle when patrolling and examining safety.
The technical details of determining the first point cloud in step S1541 are as follows: according to the scheme, point cloud data acquired by the laser radar are acquired, and point cloud data accumulation is carried out within a specific time period. Firstly, clustering processing is carried out on collected point cloud data, and noise points in the point cloud data are removed. And traversing the denoised point cloud data to find a point set closest to the laser radar, namely the first point cloud.
In a preferred embodiment, step S1542 is further included after step S1541, and step S1542 includes:

And step S10, under the condition that the point cloud image is matched with the visible light image, generating the yaw direction of the fan according to the point cloud image.
Specifically, the scheme can control the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly right above a cabin of the fan and then control the laser radar of the unmanned aerial vehicle to collect point cloud, wherein in the prior art, calculation of the yaw direction is directly performed according to the point cloud image after the point cloud image collected by the laser radar is collected, however, the point cloud collected by the laser radar at a preset height (cabin height) is not necessarily proved to be the complete point cloud of the fan, and also can be the point cloud generated after interference of other interfering objects, such as birds or high-altitude pollutants (plastic bags and the like), under the condition, the result of generating the yaw direction by directly calculating according to the point cloud image is necessarily inaccurate, therefore, the scheme utilizes the visible light point cloud image collected by the visible light camera to be used for verification, namely, the visible light point cloud image and the visible light image are matched from the outline, under the condition that the matching degree exceeds the preset matching degree, the yawing direction of the fan is generated according to the point cloud image, and if the point cloud image is not matched with the visible light, the laser point cloud is controlled to acquire the point cloud image again. The scheme is different from the method for directly obtaining the yaw direction of the fan according to point cloud calculation in the prior art, the yaw direction of the fan is obtained through calculation after the collected point cloud is determined to be the real point cloud of the fan according to the combination of the laser radar and the visible light camera, and the accuracy of the yaw direction calculation is improved.
Optionally, the step S10 of generating the yaw direction of the fan according to the point cloud image may include:
and S101, identifying and obtaining a first structure of the fan cabin and a second structure of the disc formed by the rotation of the blades from the point cloud image.

With reference to fig. 6, the first structure is a three-dimensional structure of the nacelle and the second structure is a wind wheel structure (disc). According to the scheme, the filtering algorithm can be utilized firstly, so that the point cloud structure which interferes with the recognition of the fan cabin and the blades is removed through denoising processing of the data of the laser radar, then the point cloud data is projected onto a horizontal plane to form a binary image, then the A star algorithm is utilized for extracting the skeleton structure of the binary image, namely the first structure skeleton of the first structure and the second structure skeleton of the second structure are extracted.
And S102, recognizing the coordinates of the center point of the outer surface of the fan cabin and the coordinates of the center of the fan hub from the first structure and the second structure, wherein the coordinates of the center point of the outer surface of the fan cabin to the coordinates of the center of the fan hub form a first vector.
Specifically, after the first structural framework and the second structural framework are obtained through identification, by combining with fig. 6, the position point a of the outer surface center of the first structural framework and the intersection position point B of the first structural framework and the second structural framework can be identified through a key point detection algorithm, such as a centrnet algorithm, and the point B is the position of the hub center of the fan. Here, referring to fig. 6, the outer side of the first structural skeleton is a side of the wind turbine nacelle far away from the wind turbine wheel, the nacelle may approximate a cylinder, and the position a of the center of the outer side surface of the first structural skeleton may be a center point of an upper bottom surface of the cylinder. After the positions of the point A and the point B are identified, the coordinates of the point A and the point B in the laser radar point cloud data are extracted, the set point A is a starting point, the point B is a terminal point, and then the direction of the vector AB is determined as the yaw direction of the fan.
Optionally, the step S07 of controlling the drone to fly to the position right above the wind turbine cabin may include:
and step S071, determining coordinates right above the cabin according to the position information of the fan base, the height of the fan cabin, the length information of the fan blade and the second safety distance of the unmanned aerial vehicle in the vertical direction.

For example, the base elevation Z of the blowertower1100 m, cabin height Htower80 m, blade length Rblade60 meters, second safety distance Dh20 meters, the altitude (elevation) of the coordinate directly above the nacelle is 1100+80+60+20=1260 meters.
And step S072, determining a first waypoint according to the takeoff position of the unmanned aerial vehicle and the geographical elevation of the coordinate right above the unmanned aerial vehicle.
Specifically, the longitude and latitude of the coordinate of the first waypoint are the same as the longitude and latitude of the takeoff position of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the elevation is the same as the elevation of the coordinate right above the cabin.
And step S073, controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle to vertically move to a first navigation point from a takeoff position.
Specifically, the first waypoint is located at a geographical position right above the takeoff position of the unmanned aerial vehicle.

Specifically, in this scheme, fly to the fan cabin directly over at unmanned aerial vehicle and hover the back, this scheme can control laser radar and visible light camera's the direction of finding a view perpendicular to horizontal plane to obtain an optimal gesture of finding a view.
For example, when the unmanned aerial vehicle suspends over the fan nacelle, the visible light camera pan and the laser radar pan adjust the postures of the visible light camera and the laser radar so that the visible light camera pan and the laser radar pan are perpendicular to the horizontal plane, that is, both postures are Pitch angle Pitch = -90 °, Roll angle Roll =0 °, and Yaw angle Yaw =0 °. The visible light camera and the laser radar are used for data acquisition, the data of the visible light camera are a plurality of color images, and the data of the laser radar are point clouds accumulated in a characteristic time period.

It should be noted here that often decide whether to continue flying to next fan and patrol and examine according to unmanned aerial vehicle's electric quantity among the prior art, however, if the image that the visible light camera was gathered this moment if not conform to preset definition, this shows that the visible light camera breaks down or current environment is unsuitable to carry out patrolling and examining of unmanned aerial vehicle blade. This scheme is different from prior art, and the definition of having synthesized unmanned aerial vehicle's residual capacity and visible light camera collection image decides whether to continue to fly to next fan and patrol and examine or return the journey, has avoided unmanned aerial vehicle to gather the problem that the blade image acquisition too much is not conform to definition, invalid image, great promotion the efficiency of patrolling and examining.
It should be noted here that if the definition that visible light camera gathered the image is not conform to the preset definition, this scheme then control unmanned aerial vehicle earlier from fourth flight waypoint flight to first waypoint to by first waypoint flight to the position of taking off, can guarantee like this that unmanned aerial vehicle returns the position of taking off along safe route.
