[0016] The following is a further detailed description through specific implementation methods:

[0017] The reference numerals in the drawings of the specification include: a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, a drain pipe 3, a water tank 4, a sealing valve 5, a hot air blower 6, a detection frame 7, a vibration sensor 8, an electromagnet 9, a magnet 10, a conductive sheet 11, and a water level meter 12.

[0018] Example:

[0019] A drainage pipe 3 leakage detection system, as shown in the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 3As shown, it includes: an inflation device, a controller, and a frame 1. A water tank 4 is arranged on the frame 1. A feed port and a discharge port are arranged at both ends of the water tank 4. The diameters of the feed port and the discharge port are matched with the diameter of the drain pipe 3. The feed port and the discharge port are used to place the drain pipe 3. The drain pipe 3 is in close contact with the feed port and the discharge port, which can reduce the water in the water tank 4 from flowing out from the feed port and the discharge port.

[0020] The frame 1 is provided with a detection frame 7, which is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts. The detection frame 7 is inverted U-shaped, so that the detection frame 7 is more stable as a whole. The detection frame 7 is located directly above the water tank 4. The detection frame 7 is provided with a vibration sensor 8, and the number of vibration sensors 8 corresponds to the number of ripples of the drain pipe 3 located in the water tank 4. The vibration sensor 8 is electrically connected to the controller. The drain pipe 3 is put into the water tank 4 from the feed port of the water tank 4, and the controller controls the inflation device to inflate the drain pipe 3. If there is a leak in the drain pipe 3 located in the water tank 4, bubbles will be generated in the water tank 4. The bubbles will cause the corresponding vibration sensor 8 signal above the water tank 4 to change. The controller uses the Hanning window to process the vibration sensor 8 signal. Under normal conditions, water fluctuations will cause the vibration sensor 8 to change. The vibration sensor 8 signal processed by the Hanning window will not fluctuate. When bubbles are generated, the vibration sensor 8 signal processed by the Hanning window will change. If the controller detects that the vibration sensor 8 signal has changed, the drain pipe 3 is detected.

[0021] By using the signal change of the vibration sensor 8 after Hanning window processing, the drain pipe 3 can be quickly detected, and the detection of a single drain pipe 3 can be improved; this solution can perform continuity detection on the drain pipe 3 before cutting, and then cut it after the detection is completed, saving the detection time of each drain pipe 3 and improving the detection efficiency of the drain pipe 3; the specific leakage position of the drain pipe 3 can be seen through the bubbles; by obtaining the number of the vibration sensor 8 with signal change, the leakage position of the drain pipe 3 can be obtained more accurately.

[0022] The feed end of the water tank 4 is provided with a conveyor belt 2, and the switch of the conveyor belt 2 is electrically connected to the controller. A branch pipe is provided on the frame 1, one end of the branch pipe is connected to the inflation device, and a fan blade is provided at the other end of the branch pipe. The fan blade is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts. A solenoid valve is provided at the connection point between the branch pipe and the inflation device, and the solenoid valve is electrically connected to the controller. A light-emitting diode and a diode switch are provided on the frame 1. A pressing block for squeezing the diode switch is provided on the fan blade. When a leak occurs in the drain pipe 3, the controller controls the solenoid valve to open, so that the airflow in the inflation device enters the branch pipe, thereby causing the fan blade to rotate, and the pressing block on the fan blade intermittently touches the diode switch, so that the light-emitting diode intermittently lights up to remind the staff.

[0023] Sealing valves 5 are provided at both ends of the drain pipe 3, and the sealing valves 5 are connected to the inflation device. The controller is used to control the inflation device to inflate air into the drain pipe 3, and receive the signal of the vibration sensor 8, obtain the number of the vibration sensor 8 with signal change according to the value of the vibration sensor 8, and control the conveyor belt 2 to transport the drain pipe 3.

[0024] It also includes a current transmitter for changing the working current of the vibration sensor 8. The current transmitter is located on the frame 1 and is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts. The current transmitter is used to adjust the circuit current so that the vibration sensor 8 works stably. The current transmitter is electrically connected to the vibration sensor 8, and the current transmitter is electrically connected to the controller; an electromagnet 9 and a magnet 10 are arranged between the current transmitter and the vibration sensor 8; the electromagnet 9 and the magnet 10 are both provided with a conductive sheet 11 for connecting the current transmitter and the vibration sensor 8; the conductive sheet 11 is in contact when the electromagnet 9 and the magnet 10 attract each other; the electromagnet 9 control switch is electrically connected to the controller. When the controller detects that the current delivered by the current transmission is not within the set working current range, the controller controls the electromagnet 9 to cut off the power, separate the conductive sheet 11, stop the vibration sensor 8 from working, and protect the vibration sensor 8.

[0025] A water level gauge 12 is provided in the water tank 4. The water level gauge 12 is placed in the water tank 4 and is electrically connected to the controller. The water level gauge 12 is used to monitor the water level in the water tank 4. When the water level reaches a set value, the controller controls the inflation device to inflate the drain pipe 3. When the water level is less than the set value, the controller controls the inflation device to stop infusing the drain pipe 3.

[0026] A hot air blower 6 is provided at the discharge end of the water tank 4, and the hot air blower 6 is used to dry the drain pipe 3. Drying the drain pipe 3 is convenient for subsequent process operations. The hot air blower 6 is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts, and the hot air blower 6 is located on the square of the discharge port of the water tank 4, which is convenient for quickly drying the upper surface of the drain pipe 3 and convenient for marking the drain pipe 3 later.

[0027] A timer is provided on the frame 1, and the timer is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 by bolts. The timer is electrically connected to the controller. When the controller does not detect a change in the signal of the vibration sensor 8, the controller controls the conveyor belt 2 to convey the drain pipe 3 according to the timer time and the set detection time.

[0028] The operation method of this scheme is as follows: put the drain pipe 3 into the water tank 4 from the feed port of the water tank 4, and then inject water into the water tank 4 so that the water covers the surface of the drain pipe 3. When the water level reaches the set value, the controller controls the inflation device to inflate air into the drain pipe 3. When the water level is less than the set value, the controller controls the inflation device to stop inflating air into the drain pipe 3. The controller controls the inflation device to inflate air into the drain pipe 3. If there is a leak in the drain pipe 3 in the water tank 4, bubbles will be generated in the water tank 4. The bubbles will cause the corresponding vibration sensor 8 signal above the water tank 4 to change. The controller uses a Hanning window to process the vibration sensor 8 signal. Under normal conditions, water fluctuations will cause the vibration sensor 8 to change. The vibration sensor 8 signal processed with the Hanning window will not fluctuate. When bubbles are generated, the vibration sensor 8 signal processed with the Hanning window will change. If the controller detects that the vibration sensor 8 signal has changed, the controller controls to turn on the alarm to remind the workers. When the controller detects that the current delivered by the current transmission is not within the set working current range, the controller controls the electromagnet 9 to cut off the power, separates the conductive sheet 11, stops the vibration sensor 8 from working, and protects the vibration sensor 8. After the inspection of the drain pipe 3 in the water tank 4 is completed, when the drain pipe 3 is moved out, the hot air blower 6 dries the drain pipe 3 to facilitate subsequent process operations.

[0029] This solution uses the signal change of the vibration sensor 8 after Hanning window processing to quickly detect the drain pipe 3 and improve the detection of a single drain pipe 3; this solution can perform continuity detection on the drain pipe 3 before cutting, and then cut it after the detection is completed, saving the detection time of each drain pipe 3 and improving the detection efficiency of the drain pipe 3; the specific leakage position of the drain pipe 3 can be seen through the bubbles; by obtaining the number of the vibration sensor 8 with signal change, the leakage position of the drain pipe 3 obtained can be more accurate.
