[0002] A major problem with urban municipal drainage networks is the tendency to misplace pollution sources, where pollution sources are identified where none should be, or vice versa. The prerequisite for effectively identifying misplaced pollution sources is pollutant tracing. This involves qualitatively or quantitatively analyzing the sources of pollutants and determining the causal relationship between pollutants within the network and their sources.

[0003] In existing technologies, common traceability technologies include physical inspection, characteristic factor method, and watermark recognition method. There are many specific methods available for each technology, but they all have certain limitations and restrictive factors. The specific analysis is as follows:

[0004] Flow monitoring method: Flow monitoring gaps are inevitable, the cost of observing flow section by section is high, and it is impossible to accurately determine the systemic lines of the pipe network intuitively;

[0005] Smoke testing: has significant limitations, is difficult to apply on a large scale (air pollution), can easily cause public panic, and is difficult to detect all illegal connections and illegal emissions;

The signal emitter 2 or the signal receiver 3 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the telescopic rod mechanism 9.

[0052] The telescopic rod mechanism 9 includes an outer telescopic sleeve 12, an inner telescopic tube assembly 13, and an inner connecting rod assembly 11, which are nested in sequence from the outside to the inside. The inner telescopic tube assembly 13 is threadedly rotatably matched with the inner connecting rod assembly 11, and the inner telescopic tube assembly 13 is slidably plugged into the outer telescopic sleeve 12. Under the rotational drive of the inner connecting rod assembly 11, the inner telescopic tube assembly 13 has a motion range of extending or retracting into the outer telescopic sleeve 12.

[0053] The hanging mechanism 10 includes a first hoop 16 slidably mounted on the upper end of the outer telescopic sleeve 12, a second hoop 17 fixedly mounted on the lower end of the outer telescopic sleeve 12, and a hinged rod assembly 19 hinged between the first hoop 16 and the second hoop 17. There are multiple hinged rod assemblies 19, which are respectively arranged at intervals around the periphery of the outer telescopic sleeve 12, and the hinged rod assembly 19 has a movement stroke that bends or resets as the first hoop 16 slides.

[0054] In the present invention, a combination of a detection mechanism and a handheld operating unit that can be detachably assembled is adopted. On the one hand, the detection mechanism utilizes the conduction characteristics of electromagnetic waves, and according to the conduction of electromagnetic waves between the signal sending component and the signal receiving component, it can quickly determine the connectivity status and pipeline network status between the current inspection wells; on the other hand, the detection mechanism is extended into the inspection well via the handheld operating unit, wherein the stability and firmness of the handheld operating unit in the inspection well can be controlled by sliding the expansion or contraction of the hanging mechanism, and the specific extension length of the handheld operating unit in the inspection well can be controlled by rotating the extension or shortening of the telescopic rod mechanism. This device and method are not only safer and more convenient to use and pollution-free, but also more stable and reliable in operation, ensuring the speed and accuracy of the detection process.

[0055] In one embodiment, the inner rod assembly 11 includes a rotating handle 1101, a reinforcing fixing member 1102, and a threaded screw 1103. The bottom of the rotating handle 1101 is provided with an assembly groove, the reinforcing fixing member 1102 is fixed in the assembly groove, and the threaded screw 1103 is fixed to the bottom of the reinforcing fixing member 1102.

[0056] A flange pipe interface 1201 is fixed to the top of the outer telescopic sleeve 12, and the flange pipe interface 1201 is snapped into the assembly groove and rotated with the rotating handle 1101. The reinforcing fixing part 1102 extends into the flange pipe interface 1201, and the threaded screw 1103 extends into the outer telescopic sleeve 12, and the threaded screw 1103 has a motion stroke that rotates inside the outer telescopic sleeve 12 as the rotating handle 1101 rotates.

[0057] When in use, the rotating handle 1101 is mounted on the top of the outer telescopic sleeve 12 and can rotate freely around the top of the outer telescopic sleeve 12. It is necessary to ensure that the length and rod diameter of the threaded screw 1103 are smaller than the length and tube diameter of the outer telescopic sleeve 12.

[0058] In one embodiment, the inner telescopic tube assembly 13 includes a sliding sleeve 14 and an inner sleeve 15;

[0059] The outer telescopic sleeve 12 has a mounting cavity 1202 longitudinally defined within its body. A plurality of slide grooves 1203 are longitudinally defined on the inner wall of the mounting cavity 1202. A plurality of ribs 1401 are longitudinally fixed to the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14. The ribs 1401 are slidably engaged with the slide grooves 1203. A threaded through groove 1402 is longitudinally defined within the body of the sliding sleeve 14. The threaded through groove 1402 is threadably engaged with the threaded screw 1103. Driven by the rotation of the threaded screw 1103, the sliding sleeve 14 can slide upward or downward along the mounting cavity 1202.

[0060] The inner sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding sleeve 14 , and the threaded screw 1103 extends into the inner sleeve 15 . The inner sleeve 15 has a motion stroke of extending or retracting into the outer telescopic sleeve 12 as the sliding sleeve 14 slides.

[0061] With such a design, when the rotating handle 1101 is rotated, the threaded screw 1103 rotates accordingly, and the sliding sleeve 14, which is nested outside the threaded screw 1103 and threadably matched therewith, slides up and down along the inner wall of the mounting cavity 1202 under the sliding insertion restriction of the rib 1401 and the slide groove 1203. At the same time, the inner sleeve 15 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding sleeve 14 also moves up and down in the mounting cavity 1202, and the inner sleeve 15 always remains sleeved on the outside of the threaded screw 1103. The detection mechanism 1 can achieve stable descent or ascent in the inspection well, avoiding descent or ascent in a rotating manner, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection results.

[0062] In one embodiment, a conventional carbon fiber telescopic rod may be connected between the telescopic rod mechanism 9 and the detection mechanism 1 to cope with inspection wells of greater depth.

[0063] In one embodiment, the articulated rod assembly 19 includes a connecting rod 20 and a support rod 21, the length of the connecting rod 20 is greater than the length of the support rod 21, the top of the connecting rod 20 is hinged to the first hoop 16, the bottom of the connecting rod 20 is fixed with a clamping piece 2001, the bottom of the support rod 21 is hinged to the second hoop 17, the top of the support rod 21 is fixed with a hook 2101, and the clamping piece 2001 is hingedly connected to the hook 2101. With this design, when the first hoop 16 is pushed to slide downward along the outer telescopic sleeve 12, the connecting rod 20 moves downward accordingly, while the support rod 21 remains fixed by the second hoop 17. Then, the connecting rod 20 and the support rod 21 bend and expand outward at the hinge, and the hook 2101 extends from the clamping member 2001 until it hooks or abuts against the wall of the inspection well. The handheld operating unit 8 is operated on the premise that it can be stably hooked and placed in the inspection well, avoiding significant shaking or jittering of the detection mechanism 1 during the lowering process, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection results.

[0064] It should be noted that the opening direction of the hook claw 2101 faces outward, and the fixed position of the second hoop 17 at the lower end of the outer telescopic sleeve 12 is adjustable.

[0065] In one embodiment, the mounting mechanism 10 further includes a spring member 18 and a supporting member. The spring member 18 is sleeved on the exterior of the outer telescopic sleeve 12 and interposed between the first hoop 16 and the second hoop 17. The supporting member is fixed to the top of the first hoop 16 and extends upward. The spring member 18 can move through a compression or reset motion as the supporting member drives the first hoop 16 to slide. This design allows the supporting member to extend the push of the first hoop 16, while the spring member 18 provides a buffering effect during the advancement of the first hoop 16.

[0066] In one embodiment, it further includes an assembly component 4 detachably mounted on the bottom of the telescopic rod mechanism 9, the assembly component 4 including a mounting plate 5, a U-shaped bracket 6 and a liquid sensor alarm 7;

[0067] A threaded pipe interface 501 is fixed on the top of the mounting plate 5, and the inner telescopic tube assembly 13 also includes a threaded pipe column 1501 arranged at the bottom. The threaded pipe interface 501 is threadably matched with the threaded pipe column 1501.

The back of the mounting plate 5 is provided with a slide rail 503 that can be slidably plugged into the U-shaped bracket 6, and the U-shaped bracket 6 is opened upward and is inserted on the back of the mounting plate 5 in an adjustable height. The liquid sensor alarm 7 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting plate 5.

[0068] With this design, on the one hand, the mounting plate 5 provides greater convenience for the replacement and assembly of the detection mechanism 1 and the handheld operating unit 8; on the other hand, during the detection process, when the inspection well is empty, the U-shaped head of the U-shaped bracket 6 will preferentially hit the bottom of the well to prevent damage to the signal sending component 2 or the signal receiving component 3; when there is liquid in the inspection well, the liquid sensor alarm 7 will preferentially extend into the liquid and trigger the alarm in time to remind the staff to stop lowering the detection mechanism 1 to avoid damage to the machine body.

[0069] In one embodiment, the signal transmitting component 2 includes a signal transmitting host 201, a guide pin 202 and a wire 203, wherein the guide pin 202 is fixed to the bottom of the signal transmitting host 201, and the wire 203 is connected between the signal transmitting host 201 and an external control device and a power supply;

[0070] The signal receiving component 3 includes a signal receiving and analyzing host 301 and a probe 302 . The probe 302 is fixed to the bottom of the signal receiving and analyzing host 301 . The signal receiving and analyzing host 301 has a built-in power supply.

[0071] Designed in this way, the detection mechanism 1 utilizes the conduction characteristics of electromagnetic waves, first lowers the signal emitting component 2 into a single inspection well, and then lowers multiple signal receiving components 3 into multiple adjacent inspection wells. The signal emitting component 2 emits electromagnetic waves to the upstream and downstream pipelines of the inspection well, and the signal receiving component 3 receives the electromagnetic waves and analyzes the feedback. According to the conduction of the electromagnetic waves between the signal emitting component 2 and the signal receiving component 3, the connectivity status between the current inspection wells and the status of the pipeline network can be quickly determined, thereby improving the speed of the detection process.

[0072] In one embodiment, the detection mechanism 1 is a ground-penetrating radar. The signal transmitter 2 is used to transmit electromagnetic waves in the form of radar signals, and the signal receiver 3 is used to receive the radar signals and analyze the feedback. This design allows the ground-penetrating radar to operate when the pipeline 26 connecting the signal transmission well 23 and the signal receiving well is empty or the water level is less than 1 / 2 of the pipe level.

[0073] In one embodiment, the detection mechanism 1 is a network cable finder. The signal transmitter 2 is used to emit electromagnetic waves in the form of electrical pulse signals, and the signal receiver 3 is used to receive the electrical pulse signals and analyze the feedback. This design allows the network cable finder to function properly when the pipe 26 connecting the signal transmission well 23 and the signal receiving well is full or has a water level greater than 2 / 3 of the pipe.

[0075] S1: Observe the water level in the pipe 26 below the ground 22 with the naked eye and a flashlight or with a pipe detection instrument.

[0076] S2: Insert the single tracing device of the signal emitting component 2 assembled at the bottom of the handheld operating unit 8 into the signal emitting well 23, and insert the multiple tracing devices of the signal receiving component 3 assembled at the bottom of the handheld operating unit 8 into the signal receiving well a24 and the signal receiving well b25 respectively;

[0077] S3: Push the first hoop 16 to open the hinged rod assembly 19, use the hook 2101 to hook or press against the wall of the inspection well, and rotate the rotating handle 1101 to gradually extend the inner sleeve 15 out of the outer telescopic sleeve 12;

[0078] S4: When the pipeline 26 connecting the signal emitting well 23 and the signal receiving well is in an empty pipe state or the water level is less than 1 / 2 of the pipe position, the detection mechanism 1 uses a ground penetrating radar, and the electromagnetic wave is transmitted in the form of a radar wave signal in the pipeline 26. Since the attenuation of the radar wave signal in the air medium is much smaller than the attenuation in the soil of the stratum surrounding the pipeline 26, it can be quickly determined whether the signal receiving well a24 or the signal receiving well b25 is an inspection well connected to the upstream and downstream of the same pipeline 26 as the signal emitting well 23, thereby quickly achieving the purpose of tracing the source of the pipeline network;

[0079] S5: When the pipeline 26 connecting the signal emitting well 23 and the signal receiving well is in a full pipe state or the water level is greater than 2 / 3 of the pipe position, the detection mechanism 1 adopts a network line finder, and the electromagnetic wave is transmitted in the form of an electric pulse signal in the pipeline 26. The electric pulse signal uses the water in the pipeline 26 as a conductor, and can quickly determine which of the signal receiving well a24 and the signal receiving well b25 is the inspection well connected to the upstream and downstream of the same pipeline 26 as the signal emitting well 23, thereby quickly achieving the purpose of tracing the pipeline network.
