[0106] If the absolute value of the difference is ΔT 绝对值 If the temperature exceeds the second temperature threshold, it indicates that the irrigation network is in a faulty state.

[0107] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in S330, based on the actual difference △T 实际 The relationship between the moment of the first positive-to-negative transition and the reference time is used to determine the fault type, specifically including:

[0108] If the actual difference △T 实际 The value first changes from positive to negative, and the actual difference ΔT 实际 If the time when the first negative value is less than the reference time, the fault in the irrigation network is determined to be a pipe rupture or leakage.

[0109] If the actual difference △T 实际 The first time it changed from a negative value to a positive value, and the actual difference ΔT 实际 If the first positive value is greater than the baseline time, then the fault in the irrigation network is determined to be blockage or bending / squeezing.

[0110] It should be noted that, in specific embodiments of the present invention, the standard temperature difference time series can be preset in the control system. Alternatively, the standard temperature difference time series can be obtained by actual measurement and calculation after the pipeline network has been built (at which point the pipeline network is in normal operation).

[0111] In actual use, the pre-set standard temperature difference time series may deviate significantly from the actual standard temperature difference time series during normal operation of the irrigation network due to varying external environments (e.g., some networks are laid on mountainous terrain, others on steep slopes). This leads to inaccurate judgment results. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, the standard temperature difference time series is preferably obtained by actual measurement and calculation after the network is constructed (at which point the network is in normal operation). That is, before obtaining the measured temperature difference time series in S200 of this invention, the following steps are also included:

[0112] S100. Obtain the standard temperature difference time series:

[0113] When the irrigation network is in normal operation, within the second time threshold range, the water flow temperature at the first point and the second point downstream of the first point is continuously collected and recorded as the first standard water flow temperature T. 标1 Second standard water flow temperature T 标2 ;

[0114] According to the first standard water flow temperature T 标1 Second standard water flow temperature T 标2 Determine the standard temperature difference ΔT at any time within the first time threshold range. 标 This allows for the determination of the standard temperature difference time series.

[0115] Among them, the first standard water flow temperature T 标1 Second standard water flow temperature T 标2 The temperature difference between the standard and the standard temperature ΔT 标 The following relationship must be satisfied:

[0116] △T 标 =T 标2 -T 标1

[0117] In addition, to minimize systematic errors and avoid noise interference, the standard temperature difference ΔT at each moment in the standard temperature difference time series is set to a specific value. 标 It is the average value obtained by measuring the water flow temperature at two locations multiple times at the same time.

[0118] The following describes the irrigation network operation status monitoring method of the present invention in detail, using the irrigation network operation status monitoring device of the present invention as an example. The method includes the following steps:

[0119] S100, Obtain the standard temperature difference time series

[0120] After the irrigation network begins normal irrigation, the control module controls the power supply module (battery) to energize the heat pulse heating source in the heating assembly. At each third time threshold (e.g., 3 minutes), the control module energizes the heating assembly at a time threshold of 20 seconds. The instant the heating assembly is energized, the control module begins recording the detection values ​​from the first and second temperature detection modules. That is, within the second time threshold range (0 seconds to 20 seconds), the water flow temperature at the first point (first temperature detection module) and the second point downstream of the first point (second temperature detection module) is continuously collected and recorded as the first standard water flow temperature T. 标1 Second standard water flow temperature T 标2 ;

[0121] The control module is based on the first standard water flow temperature T 标1 Second standard water flow temperature T 标2 Calculate the standard temperature difference ΔT between two locations at the same time. 标 Multiple standard temperature differences △T 标 and each standard temperature difference ΔT 标 The corresponding times form a standard temperature difference time series.

[0122] In addition, to minimize systematic errors and avoid noise interference, the standard temperature difference ΔT at each moment in the standard temperature difference time series is set to a specific value. 标 It is the average value obtained by measuring the water flow temperature at two locations multiple times at the same time.

[0123] S200, Obtain the measured temperature difference time series

[0124] Within the first time threshold range (0s~20s), the control module continuously collects the detection values ​​of the first temperature detection module and the second temperature detection module, and records them as the first water flow temperature T1 and the second water flow temperature T2, respectively.

[0125] The control module calculates the measured temperature difference ΔT between the two locations at the same time based on the first water flow temperature T1 and the second water flow temperature T2. 测 Multiple measured temperature differences ΔT 测 and each measured temperature difference ΔT 测 The corresponding times form a time series of measured temperature differences;

[0126] S310, The control module calculates the measured temperature difference ΔT at the same time. 测 Temperature difference from standard ΔT 标 The absolute value of the difference △T 绝对值 ;

[0127] S320, the control module determines the absolute value of the difference △T based on... 绝对值 The relationship between the temperature and the first and second temperature thresholds is used to determine whether a fault has occurred in the irrigation network, specifically including:

[0128] If the absolute value of the difference is ΔT 绝对值 If the temperature is below the first temperature threshold, the irrigation network is determined to be in normal operating condition.

[0129] If the absolute value of the difference is ΔT 绝对值 If the temperature is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold and less than or equal to the second temperature threshold, the irrigation network is determined to be in an early warning state.

[0130] If the absolute value of the difference is ΔT 绝对值 If the temperature exceeds the second temperature threshold, the irrigation network is determined to be in a fault state.

[0131] S330. If the irrigation network fails, calculate the standard temperature difference ΔT at the same time. 标 The difference between the measured temperature and the actual temperature △T 测 The actual difference △T 实际 ;

[0132] If the actual difference △T 实际 The value first changes from positive to negative, and the actual difference ΔT 实际If the time point when the first negative value appears is less than the reference time point, it is determined that the fault of the irrigation pipe network is pipe breakage or leakage.

[0133] If the actual difference AT is less than the reference difference AT 实际 If the first negative value changes to a positive value and the actual difference AT 实际 If the time point when the first positive value appears is greater than the reference time point, it is determined that the fault of the irrigation pipe network is blockage or bending extrusion; wherein the reference time point is the maximum standard temperature difference AT 标 The corresponding time point.
