Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of underground pipeline burial depth detection, and in particular to an acoustic burial depth detection method for non-metal buried pipelines. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, the location and direction detection technology of non-metallic buried pipelines is relatively mature. However, the pipeline burial depth detection technology is affected by factors such as soil quality, pipe material, and environment, and the burial depth data is difficult to obtain.

[0003] Taking the ground penetrating radar method as an example, due to the characteristics of non-metallic pipe materials, radar waves can easily pass through the pipe, and the reflected wave signal is not obvious, making it difficult to determine the location of the pipe.

[0004] The acoustic vibration method can determine the location and direction of non-metallic buried pipelines by identifying the maximum position of the vibration wave on the ground. However, in terms of buried depth detection, due to the large number of algorithm parameters and the high integration of the detection equipment system, the buried depth calculation is highly complex and the detection technology is difficult to promote and use. There are still the following defects when performing buried depth detection on non-metallic buried pipelines:

[0005] 1. The current burial depth detection algorithm has many parameters and the calculation process is complicated.

[0006] 2. There are many restrictions on the placement of the signal receiver.

[0007] Therefore, how to efficiently and accurately obtain the acoustic burial depth of non-metallic buried pipelines has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for detecting the acoustic burial depth of a non-metallic buried pipeline, the purpose of which is to obtain the acoustic burial depth of the non-metallic buried pipeline more efficiently and accurately.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention discloses a method for acoustically detecting the buried depth of a non-metallic buried pipeline, comprising the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: determine the projection of the buried pipeline to be detected on the ground;

[0011] Step 2, determining a sounding point on the projection of the buried pipeline, and arranging three vibration signal receivers along a straight line along the normal direction of the projection of the buried pipeline at the sounding point;

[0012] Wherein, the first vibration signal receiver is located at the depth measurement point;

[0013] The distance between the first vibration signal receiver and the second vibration signal receiver is m;

[0014] The distance between the second vibration signal receiver and the third vibration signal receiver is n;

[0015] Step 3: Use an audio vibrator to continuously transmit a specific frequency signal into the buried pipeline, and after the first vibration signal receiver receives the sound wave signal, record the time difference t between the time when the second vibration signal receiver receives the sound wave signal and the time when the first vibration signal receiver receives the sound wave signal. b ,

[0016] and the time difference t between the time when the third vibration signal receiver receives the sound wave signal and the time when the first vibration signal receiver receives the sound wave signal c ;

[0017] Step 4, calculating the distance d between the first vibration signal receiver, that is, the depth measurement point and the axis of the buried pipeline;

[0018] Step 5: Switch to the next sounding point to test the distance d between the next sounding point and the axis of the buried pipeline, until the distance d between all sounding points on the ground and the axis of the buried pipeline is obtained.

[0019] The calculation formula of the distance d between the first vibration signal receiver, that is, the depth measurement point and the axis of the buried pipeline is as follows:

[0020]

[0021] The distance d between each of the depth measuring points and the axis of the buried pipeline is measured multiple times, and large floating data are removed to finally obtain an accurate buried depth value.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0023] The present invention optimizes the pipeline buried depth detection algorithm, reduces the number of parameters required for buried depth detection, solves the problem of cumbersome buried depth calculation, reduces restrictions on the placement of signal receivers, and improves the convenience and universality of non-metallic buried pipeline detection.

[0024] Compared with traditional algorithms, the present invention has fewer parameters, making the calculation process more concise and efficient. At the same time, the mobile terminal is used to automatically calculate the buried depth value in real time, without the need for complex manual operations and professional equipment, which greatly improves the detection efficiency and convenience;

[0025] The signal receiver in the present invention can be placed at any position within a large spatial range, breaking the limitations of traditional layouts and effectively reducing the possibility of being restricted by environmental factors. For example, in complex terrain, narrow spaces or areas with obstacles, signal receivers can be flexibly arranged to ensure smooth detection of non-metallic buried pipelines.
