Design of Intelligent Management System for Underground Cable Tunnels and Integration of Robotic Inspection and Defect Recognition Technology

Underground cable tunnels are important infrastructures to maintain the normal operation of cities, and problems such as cable insulation aging and discharge can easily cause fires or even explosions, so the requirements for maintenance are high.In this study, the DGPS positioning method is used to optimise the positioning system of the intelligent inspection robot for underground cable tunnels, and the LQR controller is used to realise the deviation correction of angle and position in the motion path of the intelligent inspection robot.Then the inspection robot and UHF sensor are used to detect and accurately locate the defects in the cable tunnel, and finally the deviation correction and defect detection methods are integrated to design an intelligent management system for underground cable tunnels.The results of simulation experiments and field surveys show that the proposed method can correct the deviation of the robot in the inspection process in a timely manner, avoiding the problems of hitting the obstacles and the path around the long distance, and the average time consumed in the simulation map scenario is only 6.89 s.The communication scheme of the intelligent management system is practicable, and it can effectively detect and identify the defects and the specific location of the defects in the underground cable tunnels.The system proposed in this paper is able to detect defects and faults in time in practical applications, providing a new solution for the inspection of underground cable tunnels.
