Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pipeline leakage detection system in a utility tunnel, belonging to the technical field of leakage detection systems for utility tunnels. Background Art

[0002] A utility tunnel, also known as an integrated utility tunnel, is an underground urban pipeline comprehensive corridor, that is, a tunnel space is built underground in the city, integrating various engineering pipelines such as electricity, communication, gas, heating, water supply and drainage, etc., with special inspection ports, hoisting ports and monitoring systems, and implementing unified planning, unified design, unified construction and management. It is an important infrastructure and "lifeline" to ensure the operation of the city. Since the utility tunnel is built underground and the working environment is relatively enclosed, the inspection of the utility tunnel is mostly regular inspection, and the monitoring of unexpected situations such as water leakage cannot be carried out at any time. Once a water supply pipeline leaks in the underground utility tunnel, it will affect the entire working environment of the utility tunnel. Therefore, how to detect whether there is water leakage in the underground utility tunnel is an important research topic. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the problem of the lack of effective monitoring of water leakage in underground utility tunnels in the prior art, a pipeline leakage detection system in a utility tunnel is provided.

[0004] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A pipeline leakage detection system in a utility tunnel includes two parallel wires and a server. The special feature is that the two parallel wires are laid in multiple sections along the utility tunnel, that is, the utility tunnel is divided into multiple sections, and a group of two parallel wires is laid in each section, respectively laid under the water pipes in the utility tunnel. The two wires in each group are connected to a data collector, and each data collector is connected to the server through a network cable, 4G or 5G communication; a power supply unit for supplying power to the wires, a detection unit for detecting whether the two wires are short-circuited, and a communication unit for interacting with the server are provided on the data collector.

[0006] The advantages of the above technical solution are as follows: By laying parallel wires under the pipelines in the utility tunnel and setting them in a sectional manner, the wires in each section are connected to the corresponding data collectors, and the data collectors are then connected to the server. When water leakage occurs, water serves as a medium to connect the two wires, which is detected by the data collector. The data collector transmits the detected signal to the server, and the server determines whether there is water leakage and the specific data collector where the water leakage is detected based on the feedback of each data collector, and then determines the general location of the water leakage.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, the inventor makes the following improvements and refinements to the above technical solution:

[0008] Further, the wire is laid in a wire duct, and the wire duct is made of an insulating material.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: The existence of the wire duct is to reduce the influence of the environment on the wire, so as to avoid the situation where two wires are lapped due to accidental circumstances, resulting in false alarms.

[0010] Further, a middle partition is provided at the bottom of the wire duct, and the height of the middle partition is greater than the diameter of the wire and less than the height of the side wall of the wire duct.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: The above technical features are the limitations on the specific structure of the wire duct. The middle partition further separates the two wires to avoid accidental situations. At the same time, the control of the height of the middle partition is to ensure that when water leakage occurs, the water overflows the middle partition in the wire duct, and the water leakage can be discovered as soon as possible. Therefore, there are corresponding requirements for the height of the middle partition.

[0012] Further, the cross-section of the wire duct is trapezoidal, and the width of the opening of the wire duct is greater than the width of the bottom.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: The trapezoidal wire duct with a larger opening and a smaller bottom is beneficial for collecting water leakage.

[0014] Further, the wire duct is suspended at the bottom of the water pipe or embedded in the ground.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: The corresponding installation method can be selected according to the actual situation. For the existing pipe gallery, the wire duct can be suspended under the water pipe of the existing pipe gallery or the pipe duct can be embedded in the ground. For the newly built pipe gallery, the corresponding wire duct or wire duct installation position can be designed or reserved in advance on the ground.

[0016] Further, a water-soluble filler is paved in the wire duct. The water-soluble filler is composed of the following substances in parts by weight: 40-60 parts of soluble starch, 10-15 parts of sodium chloride, 5-10 parts of polyvinylpyrrolidone, 3-5 parts of polystyrene microspheres, and 3-5 parts of xanthan gum. The paving method of the water-soluble filler is as follows: Weigh each component according to the parts by weight. Add the soluble starch to the water at a constant temperature of 80°C in batches, stir until completely dissolved, add sodium chloride and continue to stir until completely dissolved, add polyvinylpyrrolidone, polystyrene microspheres, and xanthan gum, stir evenly and then pour it into the wire duct, compact and level it with a scraper, and dry it naturally.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: The water-soluble filler has the function of absorbing and discharging moisture; the polystyrene microspheres are light in weight and have drainage properties; xanthan gum can increase viscosity; polyvinylpyrrolidone can accelerate the dissolution of the filler when there is a water leak; the presence of the water-soluble filler ensures that when there is no water leak in the pipeline, the water-soluble filler can absorb a small amount of water vapor in the environment, preventing the wire from being exposed to the environment and being corroded; when there is a water leak in the pipeline, the water-soluble filler can dissolve quickly without affecting the detection effect.

[0018] Further, the wire is laid in a reserved wire groove on the ground. A waterproof paint layer is brushed in the reserved wire groove, and a neutral plate is provided at the bottom of the reserved wire groove. The height of the neutral plate is greater than the diameter of the wire and less than the height of the side wall of the reserved wire groove.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: Since the technical solution in this technical feature installs the wire on the ground, in order to ensure that the wire is not corroded, the wire groove is designed to be waterproof.

[0020] Further, the reserved wire groove is filled with water-based paint, a hydrolytic plastic film is laid on the top surface of the water-based paint, and a separation net is laid at the opening of the reserved wire groove above the hydrolytic plastic film.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: The above technical features are to ensure that even if there is an upper pressure or a moving object passes over the wire groove laid on the ground, it will not directly act on the wire.

[0022] Further, for the wire, the length of each group of wires is 50 - 200 m.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the above technical features in this application are as follows: Such segmentation can ensure that when there is a water leak, it is easier for maintenance personnel to determine the location of the water leak, and this spacing is very convenient for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance.

[0024] Further, the server is also communicatively connected to a control center and / or a mobile phone, and a control function APP is installed in the mobile phone.

[0025] The above technical features are to be able to receive an alarm on the server in a control center or a mobile phone terminal in a timely manner, so as to go to the alarm location for inspection and repair as soon as possible. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
