Through underground closed pipelines, oil, natural gas, chemicals and other fluids can be transported stably, reducing the risk of leakage and saving energy, making it the preferred way to transport energy materials. However, with the use of pipelines, leakage caused by pipeline damage has become a major hidden danger threatening safety, and the detection and location of pipeline leakage has become the top priority of pipeline maintenance.
[0003] At present, the main means of locating pipeline leakage include hardware-based infrared temperature sensor positioning, ultrasonic sensor positioning, and software-based analysis and positioning based on the collection of pipeline pressure, flow, temperature and other data. However, these methods may affect the normal use of the pipeline or fail to detect in real time, and are less practical in locating pipeline leakage. Acoustic emission detection technology generally focuses on the medium and high frequency bands, and rarely involves the frequency band below 1kHz. It has severe attenuation over long distances, resulting in high sensor costs and a small monitoring range. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore accurate low-frequency leakage signal positioning methods. Summary of the invention

When the experimental pipeline to be tested is in operation, signal data is repeatedly collected by changing parameters such as the fluid flow rate in the pipeline and the position L of the simulated leakage point from the noise sensor; Step 2: Use the adaptive variational mode decomposition method to decompose the acoustic signal collected by the sensor, such as Figure 3 As shown, assume that the collected signal is: ; in To collect signals The envelope amplitude of is the instantaneous phase, satisfying the non-decreasing phase function and non-negative envelope function, and then the signal is translated to the baseband through Hilbert transform, and finally H1 Gaussian smoothing is applied to estimate the bandwidth of the decomposed signal, and the modal function with the minimum sum of the bandwidth of the center frequency of each modal component is calculated. and center frequency ,Right now: ; ; in is the partial derivative with respect to t, It's Dirac Function, j is an imaginary unit, satisfies , k is the number of decomposed modes, f is the original signal, is the center frequency and e is a natural constant.
[0016] The main components of the collected signal are selected according to the Wasserstein distance to reconstruct the leakage signal, and the frequency distribution of the reconstructed signal is calculated to determine the main frequency of the leakage signal.
[0017] Step 3: Analyze the reconstructed collected sound data. Due to the design of the sensor, the circumferential displacement and radial displacement of the pipeline are basically not reflected in the collected data. Only the waves on the plane perpendicular to the radial direction of the pipeline are considered. The field formula formed by the propagation of sound waves is: ; in is the acoustic wave field function, is the Fourier transform of the original signal, i is the imaginary unit, The wave number is related to the frequency, x is the distance, is the frequency, t is the time, is the frequency differential.
[0018] The low-frequency dispersion equation is constructed based on the elastic constitutive relation (i.e. the relationship between the mechanical and kinematic quantities of the material) and the global matrix method: ; in is the stress matrix, is the medium matrix determined by the wave velocity, frequency and material properties of sound propagation in the pipeline, AMP is the wave intensity matrix, and the stress between the media at the coupling surface of the media inside and outside the pipeline should be balanced and each wave exists fixedly in the medium. It can be seen that the stress matrix is a 0 matrix and there is no 0 element in the wave intensity matrix AMP, that is: ; The frequency grid is divided into 0,n,2n,…, , fixed frequency , along the wave number Search, if ,in is the dielectric matrix with wave number K, is a medium matrix with wave number K+1, then a set of corresponding frequencies and wave numbers is found. , the frequency-wave number correspondence can be obtained by grid search for the frequency root, such as Figure 2 As shown, the group velocity is calculated using the following formula and phase velocity : ; ; Thus, the group velocity and phase velocity of the modal wave in the low frequency range are obtained. At this time, the waveguide invariant is used to construct the relationship between the frequency wavenumber relationship and the distance: .
[0019] Step 4: Introduce distance parameter Sum dispersion parameters , establish the de-dispersion transform, such as Figure 4 As shown: Dispersion-free transform ; ; in To find the distance, The speed of sound in a medium, Dispersion parameters, is a constant, is the leakage signal spectrum, is the modal wave number, so when , the exponential terms cancel each other out, and the energy of the modal waveguide is maximum. This is the distance to the leak point.
[0020] Because the energy of the modal waveguide is maximum when fixed, To find the distance, is the dispersion parameter to be determined, and It is an artificially introduced variable. When the computer traverses the set solution space to obtain the maximum energy, .
[0021] With the help of high-sensitivity sensors, leakage signals are collected. First, noise is reduced and the leakage signals are extracted. Then, the relevant physical quantities in the environment are obtained according to relevant theories. The low-frequency modal waveguide of the leakage signal is extracted using dispersion theory and adaptive variational mode decomposition method. The leakage signal is analyzed and processed in combination with the distance parameter to obtain the maximum energy of the modal waveguide. The distance dispersion inversion parameter value at this energy value is the distance to the leakage point. The distance is obtained according to the de-dispersion transformation of the leakage signal, thereby achieving the purpose of effectively discovering the pipeline leakage point and accurately locating it.
