Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline system technology, and in particular to a pipeline system with intelligent monitoring function. Background Technology
[0002] In modern municipal construction, pipeline systems are arguably the lifeblood of municipal engineering projects. Communication pipelines, as core infrastructure carrying information transmission media such as optical fibers and electrical cables, are widely used in municipal engineering, industrial parks, and transportation. Their operational stability directly determines the continuity and reliability of information transmission. Existing communication pipelines often employ a multi-segment laying scheme, where several prefabricated pipe sections are spliced together at joints to form a complete pipeline. The joints are the weakest point in the entire pipeline system. Because the joints need to seal and fix the two pipe sections, they are constantly subjected to soil pressure, temperature changes, ground subsidence, or external disturbances, making them highly susceptible to sealing failure. Therefore, monitoring communication pipelines is an extremely important safety maintenance task. However, existing monitoring schemes typically focus on the overall deformation of the pipeline itself, neglecting the joints and making it difficult to detect early, hidden faults in a timely manner. Furthermore, most monitoring relies on periodic manual inspections, which are time-consuming, have a high rate of missed inspections, and cannot provide real-time monitoring. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the interface monitoring module is further provided with a protective shell, and a sealing ring is provided between the protective shell and the outer wall of the connector.
[0014] The technical solution adopted in this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention provides a pipeline system with intelligent monitoring function, comprising a pipeline body, an interface monitoring module, a data relay unit, and a remote monitoring terminal; the pipeline body is composed of multiple pipe sections connected by connectors, and the interface monitoring module is sealed and embedded in the outer wall groove of each connector; the data relay units are spaced along the length of the pipeline body and are connected to the interface monitoring modules via wired means; the remote monitoring terminal is connected to the data relay units via a wireless communication network to receive and analyze interface status data; the interface monitoring module includes a leakage monitoring component, a radial displacement monitoring component, and an axial pull-out monitoring component, all three sharing the same data acquisition cavity and respectively contacting different sealing parts of the connector; by integrating the interface monitoring module for leakage, radial displacement, and axial pull-out monitoring, and the collaborative structure with the data relay unit and the remote monitoring terminal, the system achieves synchronous monitoring of core connector faults, addressing common problems such as leakage, radial displacement, and axial pull-out in connectors in daily scenarios. Combined with the end-to-end transmission between the data relay unit and the remote terminal, compared with traditional single fault monitoring solutions, the fault coverage is significantly improved, and the fault response time is significantly shortened, improving the accuracy and efficiency of troubleshooting communication pipeline faults.
[0015] 2. The leakage monitoring component for a pipeline system provided by this invention includes an annular water collection tank, a set of conductive probes, and a water-absorbing expansion body. The annular water collection tank is arranged around the connector, and three sets of equidistant conductive probes are arranged around its bottom. Each set of conductive probes consists of two parallel copper probes. The water-absorbing expansion body fills the bottom of the annular water collection tank. The annular water collection tank can efficiently collect leaking liquid, and the water-absorbing expansion body amplifies the leakage signal through physical deformation, enabling the upper and lower copper probes to quickly conduct, thereby realizing the detection of minute leaks and helping to improve monitoring sensitivity.
[0016] 3. The inner wall of the annular water collection trough is provided with an inclined guide slope, and a drainage hole is provided at the lowest point of the bottom; the probe end of the conductive probe group is covered with an elastic insulating sleeve, and the probe tip is exposed; the inclined guide slope can solve the problem of water accumulation in the water collection trough and prevent it from affecting subsequent monitoring. At the same time, the elastic insulating sleeve protects the probe, effectively isolates soil impurities from non-permeable contact with the probe, and reduces the false alarm rate.
[0017] 4. The radial displacement monitoring component includes an arc-shaped contact plate and a sliding rheostat. The outer arc surface of the arc-shaped contact plate fits against the inner wall of the connector's socket end, and the inner arc surface is connected to the housing of the data acquisition cavity via a compression spring. The slider of the sliding rheostat is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped contact plate via a connecting rod. When the connector undergoes radial displacement, the arc-shaped contact plate pushes the slider to move, changing the resistance value and outputting a displacement electrical signal. The arc-shaped contact plate fits closely to the inner wall of the socket end, accurately capturing radial deformation in all directions. Furthermore, the resistance change of the sliding rheostat represents the radial displacement of the connector, converting mechanical displacement into a resistance change signal. This solves the problems of difficulty in capturing minute radial displacements and poor compatibility between the monitoring structure and the connector's curved surface.
[0018] 5. The axial pull-out monitoring component includes a pull-cord displacement sensor and a pre-tensioning spring. The housing of the pull-cord displacement sensor is fixed to the socket end of the connector, and the end of the pull cord is connected to the flange of the connector's insertion end through the pre-tensioning spring. When the connector is axially pulled out, the pull cord is pulled out, causing the encoder inside the sensor to rotate and generate an axial displacement signal. The pull-cord displacement sensor can output axial displacement quantification data in real time. The towel spring ensures that the pull cord is tensioned in the initial state, avoiding false alarms caused by loosening, and solving the problems of lag and inability to quantify displacement in axial pull-out monitoring.
[0019] 6. The data relay unit also includes a self-powered module, which consists of a ring-shaped piezoelectric generator and an energy storage capacitor. The ring-shaped piezoelectric generator is installed on the inner wall of the pipeline body and generates electrical energy through pipeline vibration. After rectification, the electrical energy is stored in the energy storage capacitor to power the data relay unit. The ring-shaped piezoelectric generator generates electricity through the natural vibration of the pipeline, making full use of environmental conditions, conforming to sustainable development, and meeting the low-power operation requirements of the relay unit, effectively reducing the maintenance cost of the pipeline system.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.
[0025] Existing communication pipeline monitoring solutions mostly focus on the overall deformation of the pipe itself (such as collapse or breakage), using technologies such as distributed fiber optic sensing and external pressure sensors to monitor the macroscopic condition of the pipe. However, they generally neglect the connectors, a high-risk area for failure. Because connector failures are highly concealed in their early stages (such as minor leaks or millimeter-level displacement), they cannot be indirectly diagnosed through overall pipe monitoring data. Often, they are only discovered when the failure has expanded to the point of affecting the performance of optical cable transmission (such as signal interruption or a sharp increase in bit error rate). By then, irreversible equipment damage has already occurred. Repairs require excavating the road surface, replacing connectors and damaged optical cables, which is not only costly but also leads to communication interruptions for several hours to several days, seriously affecting social production and daily life. Currently, the industry still relies primarily on manual inspections for the condition of communication pipeline connectors. Inspectors must periodically check along the pipeline's laying path. For underground pipelines, they need to open inspection manholes for observation, while for pipelines embedded in walls or directly buried, they need to use specialized equipment (such as pipeline endoscopes) to inspect them one by one. This model has two major limitations: first, the inspection cycle is long, making real-time monitoring impossible and making it difficult to capture initial, momentary faults; second, the rate of missed detection is high. The spacing between inspection manholes in underground pipelines is usually 50-100 meters, and the field of view of the endoscope is limited, unable to cover all the sealing surfaces of the connectors. Furthermore, manual judgment is easily affected by subjective factors, and faults such as minor leaks and slight displacements are easily missed.
[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 6 The present application provides a detailed description of a pipeline system 1 with intelligent monitoring function through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0027] This invention provides a pipeline system 1 with intelligent monitoring function, comprising a pipeline body 10, an interface monitoring module 11, a data relay unit 12, and a remote monitoring terminal 13. These four components form a collaborative monitoring system through mechanical assembly and signal links. Specifically, the pipeline body 10 serves as the main carrier for the communication optical cable, and is composed of multiple PVC or HDPE pipe sections 100 coaxially spliced together via connectors 101. Each pipe section 100 is preferably 6-10 meters long to meet the conventional laying requirements of municipal communication pipelines. The interface monitoring module 11 is the front-end detection core, one-to-one sealed and embedded in the outer wall groove of each connector 101, directly facing the weakest point of the joint seal. The data relay unit 12 is installed at intervals of 150-300 meters along the length of the pipeline body 10, and is wiredly connected to the interface monitoring module 11 via a waterproof cable to achieve signal aggregation and forwarding. The remote monitoring terminal 13 is deployed in the operation and maintenance center, and wirelessly communicates with the data relay unit 12 via a 4G / 5G or LoRa network to complete data parsing, fault warning, and status display.
[0028] Understandably, by integrating the interface monitoring module 11, which monitors leakage, radial displacement, and axial pull-out, and the collaborative structure with the data relay unit 12 and the remote monitoring terminal 13, the core faults of the connector 101, which are common problems in daily scenarios such as leakage, radial displacement, and axial pull-out, can be monitored synchronously. Combined with the full-link transmission between the data relay unit and the remote terminal, compared with the traditional single fault monitoring solution, the fault coverage is significantly improved, the fault response time is significantly shortened, and the troubleshooting accuracy and efficiency of communication pipeline faults are improved.
[0029] Furthermore, the connector 101 adopts an integral molding structure, including a socket end 1010 and a spigot end 1011 that are adapted to each other, and achieves a sealed connection of the pipe body 100 through mechanical cooperation; Specifically, the socket end 1010 is an flared structure at the end of the pipe body 100, and its inner wall is machined with an annular sealing groove 1012, in which a rubber sealing ring 1013 with an "O" shaped cross section is embedded; the spigot end 1011 is a constricted structure that matches the socket end 1010, and its outer wall is provided with an annular protrusion 1014. Understandably, during assembly, the insertion end 1011 is inserted into the socket end 1010 along the axis, and the annular convex ridge 1014 compresses the rubber sealing ring 1013 to produce radial deformation, forming a tight radial seal to ensure the initial sealing performance of the joint; the outer wall of the connector 101 is machined with a monitoring module mounting groove corresponding to the outer side of the annular sealing groove 1012, and the inner wall of the groove is provided with a sealing ring mounting groove to provide a sealing mounting base for the interface monitoring module 11.
[0030] Furthermore, the interface monitoring module 11 is an integrated detection unit with an external protective shell 113. In one embodiment, the protective shell 113 is preferably made of 304 stainless steel with a thickness of 1.5-2mm. A sealing ring 114 is provided between the protective shell 113 and the mounting groove on the outer wall of the connector 101 to resist harsh environments such as underground moisture and soil corrosion. The leakage monitoring component 110, radial displacement monitoring component 111 and axial pull-out monitoring component 112 inside the module share a data acquisition cavity made of ABS material. The three are evenly distributed along the circumference of the connector 101 and correspond to the status monitoring of different sealing parts of the connector.
[0031] Furthermore, a leakage monitoring component 110 is arranged around the sealing portion of the connector 101 to detect liquid leakage caused by joint seal failure. It includes an annular water collection tank 1100, a conductive probe assembly 1101, and a water-absorbing expansion body 1102. The inner diameter of the water collection tank 1100 is adapted to the outer wall of the connector 101, and the inner wall has a guide slope 1103 with an inclination angle of 5-10° to quickly collect liquid seeping along the joint gap. A drain hole 1104 is provided at the lowest point of the bottom to prevent water accumulation from affecting subsequent monitoring. The conductive probe group 1101 is distributed at 120° equidistant intervals along the circumference of the annular water collection tank 1100. Each group consists of two copper probes with a diameter of 0.8-1mm arranged parallel to each other. The probe ends are covered with elastic insulating sleeves 1105 made of silicone rubber, with only 0.5-1mm long probe tips exposed to prevent soil impurities from accidentally touching the probes. The water-absorbing and expanding body 1102 is made of highly absorbent resin material and is filled at the bottom of the annular water collection tank 1100. Specifically, the thickness is 2-3mm in the dry state, and the volume can expand 3-5 times after absorbing water.
[0032] Understandably, when the connector 101 leaks, the liquid seeps out along the sealing gap, flows through the guide slope 1103 and converges into the annular water collection tank 1100; the water-absorbing expansion body 1102 absorbs the liquid and expands, pushing the upper and lower probes to contact and conduct, generating an electrical signal, which is then processed by the data acquisition cavity and output.
[0033] Furthermore, the radial displacement monitoring component 111 is used to detect the radial deformation of the connector 101 under soil pressure or settlement. It includes an arc-shaped contact plate 1110 and a sliding rheostat 1112. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped contact plate 1110 is made of polyoxymethylene material, and the curvature of its outer arc surface is adapted to the inner wall of the socket end 1010 of the connector 101 to ensure that radial displacement in all directions can be captured. The sliding rheostat 1112 is a linear potentiometer (resistance range 1-10kΩ), and its slider is fixed to the center of the arc-shaped contact plate 1110 through the connecting rod 1113. The effective stroke is 15-20mm, which matches the maximum displacement of the arc-shaped contact plate 1110, and mechanical limit blocks are provided at both ends to prevent the component from being damaged by excessive displacement.
[0034] Understandably, when the connector 101 undergoes radial displacement (such as a protrusion or depression in the inner wall of the socket end 1010), the arc-shaped contact plate 1110 moves synchronously with the inner wall, pushing the slider of the sliding rheostat 1112 to move through the connecting rod 1113, causing the resistance value to change linearly; this resistance change is converted into a 4-20mA standard electrical signal by the signal conditioning circuit of the data acquisition cavity, realizing the quantitative monitoring of radial displacement.
[0035] Furthermore, the axial pull-out monitoring component 112 is used to detect the axial separation of the connector 101 under tensile force or uneven settlement, and includes a pull-rope type displacement sensor and a pre-tensioning spring; the housing of the pull-rope type displacement sensor is fixed to the socket end of the connector, and the end of the pull rope is connected to the flange of the connector's insertion end through the pre-tensioning spring; when the connector is axially pulled out, the pull rope is pulled out and drives the encoder inside the sensor to rotate, generating an axial displacement signal.
[0036] Understandably, when the connector 101 is axially pulled out, that is, when the socket end 1010 and the insertion end 1011 are relatively separated, the pull rope is pulled out synchronously, which drives the encoder inside the sensor to rotate and generate an electrical signal proportional to the displacement, so as to realize real-time monitoring and quantitative early warning of axial pull-out.
[0037] Furthermore, the data relay unit 12 is used to realize data transmission between the interface monitoring module 11 and the remote monitoring terminal 13, and its specific structure includes: Waterproof junction box: Made of stainless steel, it is fixed to the outer wall of the pipe body 10 with stainless steel clamps; protection level IP67, with internal terminal blocks, and connected to the output lines of each interface monitoring module 11 through M12 waterproof plugs to prevent water from entering the wiring points; Microprocessor: Selects STM32 series low-power chip, supports sleep-wake mode: sleep current ≤5μA, wake-up cycle can be set to 10-60 minutes, used to filter, reduce noise and convert the format of the signal output by interface monitoring module 11; Wireless module: The LoRa module is used and is electrically connected to the microprocessor to wirelessly transmit the processed monitoring data to the remote monitoring terminal 13.
[0038] Furthermore, to address the issue of lack of external power in the field, the data relay unit 12 also integrates a self-powered module, including a ring-shaped piezoelectric generator and an energy storage capacitor. The ring-shaped piezoelectric generator is installed on the inner wall of the pipe body 10, generating electrical energy through pipe vibration. After rectification, the energy is stored in the energy storage capacitor to power the data relay unit. Understandably, the piezoelectric generator is made of PZT-5H piezoelectric ceramic material and is fitted on the inner wall of the pipe body 10, generating electrical energy through pipe vibration (such as vehicle passage or soil subsidence).
[0039] Specifically, the remote monitoring terminal 13 is an industrial computer equipped with dedicated monitoring software, and has a built-in data receiving module, database, and anomaly analysis unit. The system workflow is as follows: Monitoring trigger: When connector 101 leaks, is radially displaced, or is axially pulled out, the corresponding monitoring component generates an electrical signal; Signal transmission: After the interface monitoring module 11 preprocesses the signal, it is transmitted to the data relay unit 12 via a wired connection; after the microprocessor processes the signal, it is sent to the remote monitoring terminal 13 by the wireless module. Data analysis: The remote monitoring terminal 13 analyzes data based on preset thresholds and notifies maintenance personnel through audio-visual prompts, SMS notifications, and other means. Fault handling: Based on the fault location (accurate to the specific connector 101) and type displayed on the terminal, maintenance personnel carry out targeted emergency repairs to shorten the fault handling time.
[0040] In this embodiment, the preset monitoring thresholds are: a leakage signal lasting ≥0.5s is considered valid, a radial displacement ≥1mm triggers an early warning, and an axial displacement ≥5mm triggers an alarm.
[0041] It is understood that the pipeline system 1 with intelligent monitoring function provided in this embodiment can be applied to various pipeline systems that require monitoring of pipeline integrity, such as communication pipelines, gas pipelines, and electronic pipelines.
[0042] The pipeline system with intelligent monitoring function provided by this invention has the following beneficial technical effects compared with the prior art: This invention provides a pipeline system with intelligent monitoring capabilities, comprising a pipeline body, an interface monitoring module, a data relay unit, and a remote monitoring terminal. The pipeline body is composed of multiple pipe sections connected by connectors, and the interface monitoring module is sealed and embedded in a groove on the outer wall of each connector. The data relay units are spaced apart along the length of the pipeline body and connected to the interface monitoring modules via wired connections. The remote monitoring terminal is connected to the data relay units via a wireless communication network to receive and analyze interface status data. The interface monitoring module includes a leakage monitoring component, a radial displacement monitoring component, and an axial pull-out monitoring component, all sharing the same data acquisition cavity and respectively contacting different sealing parts of the connector. By integrating the interface monitoring module for leakage, radial displacement, and axial pull-out monitoring, and its collaborative structure with the data relay unit and remote monitoring terminal, the system achieves synchronous monitoring of core connector faults, addressing common issues such as leakage, radial displacement, and axial pull-out in connectors in everyday scenarios. Combined with the end-to-end transmission between the data relay unit and the remote terminal, compared to traditional single fault monitoring solutions, the fault coverage is significantly improved, and the fault response time is significantly shortened, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of troubleshooting communication pipeline faults.
