Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of detection technology, and in particular relates to a portable flow measuring device for hydrological testing. Background Art

[0002] Traditional hydrological flow measurement devices mostly use a single sensor (such as a propeller current meter or a fixed ADCP), which has problems such as large size, poor portability, and insufficient environmental adaptability. Under complex hydrological conditions (such as high turbidity, strong winds and waves, or drastic water level fluctuations), a single sensor is susceptible to interference, resulting in increased measurement errors. For example, radar current meters experience severe signal attenuation during heavy rain or mirror-like water surfaces, while acoustic equipment loses reliability in clear water or extreme pH environments. Existing technologies lack a dynamic fusion mechanism for multiple sensors and are unable to adjust weights based on real-time environmental parameters, making it difficult to strike a balance between accuracy and robustness.

[0063] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0064] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0065] See also Figures 1 to 4 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a portable flow measuring device for hydrological testing is provided, comprising a box A1 and a box B2. The box B2 is mounted on the box A1 via a support rod 6. The box A1 is passed through a rod or rope through a through hole 101 provided in the box A1 (to ensure that the entire device is suspended above the water surface). The device further comprises:

[0066] The detection component includes a radar current meter 3 and an acoustic Doppler current meter 4 installed on both sides of the box B2;

[0067] The driving assembly 5 is installed on the box A1 and is used to drive the box A1 to drive the box B2 to move along the length direction of the rod or rope;

[0068] The detection and equalization system 7 is used to analyze the detection results of the radar current meter 3 and the acoustic Doppler current meter 4 and output the final detection results, including:

[0069] Data acquisition module 701, used to obtain detection condition information A of radar current meter 3, detection condition information B of acoustic Doppler current meter 4, and detection point height change (the difference between the current height and the ideal detection height, which can be obtained by the displacement sensor installed on box A1);

[0070] The data analysis module 702 is configured to perform normalization processing on the detection condition information A and the detection condition information B to output detection condition index information A and detection condition index information B;

[0071] The radar flow measurement confidence analysis module 703 is used to construct a radar detection confidence model based on the detection condition index information A and output the radar flow measurement confidence;

[0072] Acoustic flow measurement confidence analysis module 704, used to construct an acoustic detection confidence model based on the detection condition index information B and output the acoustic flow measurement confidence;

[0073] The weight allocation module 705 constructs a weight allocation model based on the acoustic flow measurement confidence and the radar flow measurement confidence under height variation, and outputs the respective weights of the detection results of the radar current meter 3 and the acoustic Doppler current meter 4 in the pre-established flow detection model;

[0074] The flow velocity determination module 706 imports the detection results of the radar current meter 3 and the acoustic Doppler current meter 4 and the weights of the respective detection results in the flow velocity detection model into the flow velocity detection model, and outputs the final detected flow velocity.

[0075] This technical solution achieves lightweight and mobile functionality through the modular design of enclosures A1 and B2, along with a drive assembly 5 that moves along a rod or rope, overcoming the limitations of traditional fixed devices. The coordinated arrangement of a radar current meter and an acoustic Doppler current meter within the detection assembly enhances adaptability in complex environments through complementary dual-sensor detection.

[0076] Data acquisition module 701 simultaneously acquires detection condition information and altitude change data from radar and acoustic sensors, providing multi-dimensional input for dynamic fusion. Data analysis module 702 normalizes the detection condition information from the two sensor types, unifying the dimensional differences between the different parameters and ensuring comparability in subsequent confidence analysis.

[0077] The radar flow measurement confidence analysis module 703 constructs a confidence model based on the normalized detection condition index, which can quantify the reliability of the radar current meter under different water surface roughness, wind speed, and visibility conditions. The acoustic flow measurement confidence analysis module evaluates the applicability of acoustic sensors in turbid or acidic or alkaline environments using normalized indices of water particle content, water depth, and pH value.

[0078] The weight assignment module incorporates an altitude variation function, combining the dynamic characteristics of radar and acoustic confidence levels to adjust the fusion weights in real time. For example, radar signals decay exponentially with altitude, while acoustic signals decay linearly. This module uses mathematical modeling to reflect the differences in sensor performance at different altitudes, ensuring the rationality of weight assignment. Ultimately, the flow velocity determination module outputs weighted fusion results, preserving the advantages of dual sensors while addressing the limitations of a single sensor in specific environments. This significantly improves measurement accuracy and robustness in complex hydrological conditions.

[0079] Preferably, the detection condition information A includes water surface roughness (which can be obtained by wave height obtained by a pressure wave sensor), water surface wind speed and environmental visibility, and the detection condition information B includes water particle content (which can be detected by a turbidity sensor), water depth of the target water area, and water pH value.

[0080] The roughness of the water surface directly affects the intensity of radar wave reflection, while the wind speed on the water surface and the environmental visibility jointly determine the stability of electromagnetic wave propagation. These three factors form quantitative constraints on radar flow measurement from a physical perspective. The particle content in the water body is related to the attenuation characteristics of the acoustic signal, the water depth determines the length of the sound wave propagation path, and the pH value affects the surface corrosion rate of the acoustic transducer. These three factors construct the reliability boundary of acoustic detection from the perspective of medium characteristics. By independently modeling the core interference factors of the two types of sensors, the model complexity caused by parameter cross-coupling is avoided, and accurate input dimensions are provided for subsequent confidence calculations. This parameter classification mechanism enables the system to automatically identify the dominant interference factors for different environmental scenarios, thereby dynamically adjusting the multi-sensor fusion strategy.

[0081] Preferably, the working steps of the data analysis module 702 are:

[0082] The water surface roughness and water surface wind speed are respectively compared with the corresponding maximum allowable values ​​to obtain the water surface roughness index and water surface wind speed index;

[0083] Importing ambient visibility into the formula Obtain visibility index ,in, Indicates the current environment visibility. Indicates the maximum permissible environmental visibility;

[0084] Importing water particle content into the formula The particle content index is obtained from Represents the attenuation coefficient (used to control the effect of particle concentration on acoustic detection reliability, unit is L / mg), Indicates the current particle content in the water body;

[0085] Importing water pH into the formula The pH deviation index is obtained from Indicates the pH value of water;

[0086] Import the water depth of the target water area into the formula Get water depth index ,in, Indicates the depth of the target water area. Indicates the maximum applicable water depth of the equipment.

[0087] This technical solution transforms raw detection condition information into unified evaluation metrics by constructing a standardized index system for multidimensional environmental parameters. The surface roughness index quantifies the degree of interference from water surface fluctuations on radar signals by calculating the ratio of the actual measured value to the maximum value. The surface wind speed index uses linear normalization to reflect the impact of wind speed on radar wave scattering. The visibility index uses inverse normalization to convert the negative impact of low visibility on optical signals into a positive attenuation coefficient. The particle content index uses an exponential function to emphasize the nonlinear response of suspended particles in highly turbid water to acoustic signal attenuation. The pH deviation index, calculated as the difference between the absolute value and the threshold range, captures the corrosive effects of pH deviations from neutral on acoustic sensors. The water depth index uses progressive normalization to reflect the differential impact of different water depths on the acoustic wave propagation path. These indexes provide integrated quantitative inputs for subsequent confidence models, addressing the technical limitation of traditional methods that cannot accurately quantify the impact of environmental parameters on multiple sensors.

[0088] Preferably, the operation steps of the radar flow measurement confidence analysis module 703 are:

[0089] According to the water surface roughness index, water surface wind speed index and visibility index, a radar detection confidence model is constructed and the water surface roughness index, water surface wind speed index and visibility index are imported to output the radar flow measurement confidence;

[0090] The radar detection confidence model is expressed as:

[0091]

[0092] in, represents the confidence of radar flow measurement, represents the water surface roughness index, represents the surface wind speed index, represents the visibility index, represents the weight coefficient and .

[0093] Preferably, the operation steps of the acoustic flow measurement confidence analysis module 704 are:

[0094] According to the particle content index, pH value deviation index and water depth index, an acoustic detection confidence model is constructed and the particle content index, pH value deviation index and water depth index are imported to output the acoustic flow measurement confidence;

[0095] The acoustic detection confidence model is expressed as:

[0096]

[0097] in, represents the confidence of acoustic flow measurement, represents the particle content index, represents the water depth index, Indicates pH deviation index, represents the weight coefficient and .

[0098] Preferably, the operation steps of the weight allocation module 705 are:

[0099] Perform minimum-maximum normalization processing on the current radar wave frequency and radar power to obtain the radar frequency adaptability factor and radar power attenuation factor;

[0100] Performing minimum-maximum normalization processing on the current sound wave frequency and sound wave pulse to obtain the sound wave frequency adaptability factor and the sound wave pulse optimization factor;

[0101] The radar frequency adaptability factor and the radar power attenuation factor are introduced into the radar comprehensive reliability model to obtain the radar comprehensive reliability, and the acoustic wave frequency adaptability factor and the acoustic wave pulse optimization factor are introduced into the acoustic comprehensive reliability model to obtain the acoustic comprehensive reliability;

[0102] The radar comprehensive reliability and acoustic comprehensive reliability under the current height change are imported into the weight distribution model, and the respective weights of the detection results of the radar current meter 3 and the acoustic Doppler current meter 4 in the pre-built velocity detection model are output;

[0103] The weight distribution model is expressed as:

[0104]

[0105] in, represents the weight of the surface velocity measured by the radar velocity meter 3, represents the weight of the surface velocity measured by the acoustic Doppler flowmeter 4, represents the comprehensive reliability of the radar, represents the comprehensive acoustic reliability, represents the radar altitude attenuation function (representing the effect of altitude change on the radar), represents the acoustic altitude stability function (the effect of altitude changes on acoustic equipment);

[0106] The radar comprehensive reliability model is expressed as:

[0107]

[0108] in, represents the comprehensive reliability of the radar, represents the confidence of radar flow measurement, represents the radar frequency adaptability factor, represents the radar power attenuation factor;

[0109] The acoustic comprehensive reliability model is expressed as:

[0110]

[0111] in, represents the comprehensive acoustic reliability, represents the confidence of acoustic flow measurement, represents the acoustic frequency adaptability factor, represents the acoustic pulse optimization factor;

[0112] The radar height attenuation function is expressed as:

[0113]

[0114] in, represents the radar height attenuation function, Indicates the height change of the detection point. Indicates the radar height attenuation coefficient (unit: m -1 , generally take 0.1m -1 );

[0115] The acoustic height stability function is expressed as:

[0116]

[0117] in, represents the acoustic height stability function, Indicates the height change of the detection point. Indicates the upper limit of the acoustic detection altitude change tolerance (maximum allowable altitude change).

[0118] Specifically, as the device moves along a pole or rope, or as its height changes due to strong winds while stationary, the height change at the detection point is input into the weight distribution model in real time. The radar height attenuation function uses an exponential form to simulate the attenuation of signal strength caused by atmospheric absorption and scattering when electromagnetic waves propagate through the air. The acoustic height stability function uses a linear relationship to represent the energy dissipation caused by the extension of the sound wave propagation path in water. When the detection height exceeds the upper tolerance limit, the acoustic detection result is automatically excluded. These two functions are multiplied by the radar and acoustic comprehensive reliability, respectively, and then normalized to generate dynamic weights.

[0119] Compared to existing technologies, traditional methods fail to consider the impact of altitude variations on multi-sensor data fusion and rely solely on fixed weights or a single attenuation model. This results in an inability to accurately reflect the performance differences between radar and acoustic equipment during altitude variations. This solution establishes an attenuation function that matches physical properties. For example, an exponential model is used to account for the nonlinear attenuation of electromagnetic wave propagation, and a reduction function with an upper tolerance limit is used to account for the approximate linear relationship of acoustic path loss. This ensures that the weight distribution more closely matches the actual signal attenuation pattern, overcoming the limited applicability of a single model in complex altitude scenarios.

[0120] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem of dynamic fluctuations in sensor reliability caused by altitude changes during hydrological measurement equipment, and realizes adaptive adjustment of radar and acoustic flow measurement weights. In low-altitude rainstorms or mirror-like water surface scenarios, the radar weight is reduced through exponential decay to suppress signal interference; in high-altitude clear water environments close to the upper limit of acoustic detection, the acoustic weight is increased through linear decay to avoid Doppler effect errors, thereby maintaining flow measurement accuracy and stability throughout the full range of the device's altitude movement.

[0121] Preferably, the flow velocity detection model is expressed as:

[0122]

[0123] in, Indicates the final detection flow rate, It indicates that the surface velocity is measured by the radar velocity meter 3. It indicates the surface velocity measured by the acoustic Doppler flowmeter 4, represents the weight of the surface velocity measured by the radar velocity meter 3, represents the weight of the surface velocity measured by the acoustic Doppler flowmeter 4, .
