[0050] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 , the optical cable security intelligent operation and maintenance system 10 in an embodiment of the present invention includes an optical cable security intelligent operation and maintenance device 11 and a network management platform 12. The optical cable security intelligent operation and maintenance device 11 is installed at the local end. The optical cable security intelligent operation and maintenance device 11 includes a detection optical cable 111, an optical signal demodulation device 112, and a signal processing host 113.

[0052] The detection optical cable 111 is an ordinary single-mode communication optical fiber or the spare fiber core of the optical cable to be monitored.

[0053] The optical signal demodulation device 112 is used for: generating a first optical pulse signal and injecting it into the detection optical cable 111. The first optical pulse signal generates Rayleigh scattering during the transmission along the optical cable and returns along the optical cable to form a second pulse signal; demodulating the second optical pulse signal by phase to obtain the action signal of sound waves and vibrations on the optical fiber and converting it into a digital electrical signal.

[0054] The signal processing host 113 is used for: analyzing the digital electrical signal based on the training data model and determining the location of the external vibration sensing event through the optical time domain reflectometry principle to obtain monitoring data; the training data model is obtained based on the photoelastic effect and a large amount of data training and is used to distinguish the vibration categories of external vibration sensing events.

[0055] The network management platform 12 is used for: obtaining the monitoring data and presenting the running state of the optical cable network in real time according to the monitoring data; when the monitoring signal includes an external vibration sensing event, sending an alarm message based on the geographic information system. The alarm message includes the vibration category, vibration time, and vibration location of the external vibration sensing.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, the optical cable security intelligent operation and maintenance system consists of hardware and a visualization display part: The optical cable security intelligent operation and maintenance device 11 detects the main service optical fiber network, and the network management platform 12 (visualization display part) presents the operation status of the optical cable network in real time; data communication between the software and hardware is carried out through an Ethernet switch.

[0057] For example: According to actual requirements, a total of 8 monitoring routes can be set. The software system supporting network management server is installed in the core computer room; the network management client is installed at the monitoring room location; other locations can be accessed through authorization. The hardware is installed on the rack in the optical cable distribution room computer room. The vibration detection implementation method is based on the time-domain backscattering of OTDR. When necessary, advanced technical means such as sensing can be combined. Both active and passive devices are installed at the local end, and no devices are deployed at the opposite end. The detection distance of this device can reach 45 km, and it can accurately locate the position of the damage event, and can realize simultaneous monitoring of multiple points and multiple events without mutual influence. The system can directly use standard communication optical cables according to the environmental configuration. The monitoring area is divided according to the site and the background mode is recognized. After pattern analysis, the type of third-party damage event can be accurately determined.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, by utilizing the characteristic that optical fibers are sensitive to vibration, combined with the backend analysis processing and intelligent recognition related technologies, the system analysis algorithm integrates the data and classifies, cleans, and converts it to form a training data model for distinguishing different vibration sources (such as construction excavation, man-made damage, vehicles, etc.). Due to the elasto-optic effect, the refractive index and length of the optical fiber will have slight changes, and the vibration causes a phase change of the transmitted signal in the optical fiber, resulting in a change in the light intensity. Finally, the system can give an early warning or a real-time alarm.

[0059] As one of the implementation methods, the training process of the training data model includes: constructing different types of event databases based on the signals collected at each spatial point; through the multi-domain feature extraction of the short-time units in each signal sample, converting the signal sample into the feature vector and feature vector sequence required for training the hidden Markov model; offline training the hidden Markov model of typical events and forming the event hidden Markov model of this point to obtain the training data model.

[0060] The signal processing host 113 is also used for: analyzing the frequency-domain characteristics, time-domain characteristics, and phase characteristics of the digital electrical signal based on the training data model to obtain the vibration category of the external vibration sensing event, and the vibration category includes manual excavation, vehicle rolling, and mechanical construction. The frequency-domain characteristic analysis curve of the digital electrical signal can be seen in Figure 2 ; the time-domain characteristic analysis curve can be seen in Figure 3 ; the phase characteristic analysis curve can be seen in Figure 4 . Figure 5 It is the signal graph for manual excavation, Figure 6Signal graphics for mechanical construction. In addition, after comprehensive judgment, the external damage activities detected within 15 meters can be classified and alarmed. For example: 0 to 5m is a level I alarm (manual excavation), 5 to 10m is a level II alarm (vehicle rolling), and 10 to 15m is a level III alarm (mechanical construction).

[0061] Among them, if the observed sequence of the digital electrical signal is 0 and its corresponding output probability is P(0|λ), then:

[0062]

[0063] Among them, λ is the parameter of the hidden Markov model, λ = (A, B, π), π represents the initial probability distribution, A represents the state transition probability distribution, and B represents the observation probability distribution;

[0064] The event type is c = index{max(P1, P2, P3)}; the optimal path output of the parameter λ of the hidden Markov model is path = [q1, q2, q3], and the calculation method of the Q function is:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, λ is the current estimated value of the parameter of the hidden Markov model.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, fiber optic vibration sensing monitoring utilizes the vibration-sensitive characteristics of the detection optical cable 111. When an external vibration acts on the detection optical cable 111, due to the elasto-optic effect, the refractive index and length of the optical fiber will change slightly, resulting in a change in the phase of the signal transmitted in the optical fiber and causing a change in the light intensity. The device usually uses a highly coherent pulsed light source, and interference will occur between the Rayleigh scattering signals within the pulse width region. When the external vibration causes a phase change, the intensity of the coherent Rayleigh scattering signal at this point will change. By detecting the phase information of the Rayleigh scattering optical signals before and after vibration and combining with the 0TDR positioning algorithm for precise positioning, the detection of external vibration sensing events can be achieved.

[0068] As one of the implementation methods, the optical signal demodulation device 112 is also used for:

[0069] Generating a continuous coherent optical signal based on an ultra-narrow linewidth laser, modulating it into an optical pulse signal by an acousto-optic modulator, and centrally amplifying it by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to obtain a first optical pulse signal; the first optical pulse signal is sequentially injected into the detection optical cable 111 through an isolator, port 1 of a circulator, and port 2;

[0070] The first optical pulse signal generates Rayleigh scattering during the transmission along the optical cable. The backscattered Rayleigh optical signal returns along the optical cable and is received by ports 2 and 3 of the circulator. After the noise signal is filtered by the optical filter, it is coupled by the first coupler and then injected into an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Three external disturbance signals with a phase difference of 120° are output by the 3×3 second coupler to obtain the second optical pulse signal.

[0071] The introduced phase change information is used to obtain the action signals of sound waves and vibrations on the optical fiber by phase demodulating the second optical pulse signal, and is converted into an electrical signal by photoelectric detection. Then, the signal is synchronously acquired by the synchronous trigger analog-to-digital converter controlled by the waveform generation card to obtain a digital electrical signal.

[0072] Specifically, the detection optical cable 111 usually uses ordinary single-mode communication optical fiber, which is generally laid underground along pipelines, transmission cables, and urban roads, or the spare fiber cores of the communication optical cable laid along pipelines or roads can also be directly used. The optical signal demodulation device 112 is the core of the system, and its internal components mainly include two categories: optical devices and electrical devices. A continuous coherent optical signal is generated by an ultra-narrow linewidth laser and modulated into an optical pulse signal by an acousto-optic modulator (AOM); the optical pulse signal is intensively amplified by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The amplified optical pulse signal (i.e., the first optical pulse signal) is sequentially injected into the detection optical cable 111 through an isolator and port 1 and port 2 of the circulator; the optical pulse signal generates Rayleigh scattering during the transmission along the optical cable. The backscattered Rayleigh optical signal returns along the optical cable and is received by ports 2 and 3 of the circulator (the second optical pulse signal). After the noise signal is filtered by the optical filter, it is coupled by the first coupler and then injected into an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). Three external disturbance signals with a phase difference of 120° are output by the 3×3 second coupler. The introduced phase change information is used to obtain the action signals of sound waves and vibrations on the optical fiber by phase demodulation. The demodulated optical signal is converted into an electrical signal by photoelectric detection (PD), and then the signal is synchronously acquired by the synchronous trigger analog-to-digital (A / D) converter controlled by the waveform generation card. The digital electrical signal is transmitted to the signal processing host 113 in real time through interfaces such as a network. The signal processing host 113 is an ordinary computer host (PC) or an embedded main board, which is used for the analysis and processing of optical fiber detection signals. The event information causing sound waves and vibrations is obtained through specific signal processing algorithms, its position is determined by the optical time domain reflectometry principle, and the detected events are intelligently identified and classified.

[0073] As one of the implementation methods, the network management platform 12 is also used for:

[0074] Managing geographical resources by region, where the geographical resources include the optical cable segments of the monitored optical cable and the geographical nodes passed through.

[0075] Manage external vibration sensing events, filter and view external vibration sensing events based on vibration time and vibration type, and control the false alarm times of alarm information within ≤10% of the total alarms.

[0076] Conduct curve tests and event analyses on external vibration sensing events to obtain test curves, and the optical cable segments of the test curves correspond to actual optical cable resources;

[0077] Automatically display the relevant optical cable segments associated with the test curves according to the fiber jump configuration of the optical path, and by moving the coordinates on the test curve, synchronously display the specific geographical locations of the optical cables corresponding to the points on the test curve on the map interface.

[0078] Adjust the average optical fiber loss threshold, reflection event height threshold, non-reflection event attenuation threshold, and end height threshold, and directly analyze the already tested curves after adjustment; Reflection events include: optical cable jump points (i.e., jump points connected by flange plates), optical cable break points, and optical cable end points; Non-reflection events include: optical cable fusion points and excessive bending points.

[0079] Obtain reflection event points or non-reflection event points and add them to the test curve.

[0080] Specifically, on the one hand, the network management platform can achieve visual display, that is, provide an intuitive real-time dynamic display of the route, a visual display interface, and map the fiber position to the image through the graphic configuration module.

[0081] On the other hand, in order to accurately provide the geographical location of the optical fiber fault point, the system manages resources such as the monitored optical cable and the geographical nodes it passes through. The resources mainly include station sites, optical cable segments, optical cable landmarks, equipment, etc. The system supports batch import and export of resources in Excel format.

[0082] (1) Area management: Sub-areas can be established according to resource attributes for resource partition management.

[0083] (2) Station site management: Station site information includes end office sites, relay stations, monitoring stations, and important optical cable joint points, fusion points, etc.

[0084] (3) Landmark management: Optical cable landmarks mainly include wells, poles, handholes, marker stones, joint boxes, reference landmarks, etc. The optical cable length and winding information from each landmark point to the previous landmark point can be edited and modified.

[0085] (4) Optical cable management: Includes information such as optical cable length and core count. Details of resources also include the management of core information and pigtail information of this optical cable segment.

[0086] On the other hand, the system has alarm event management, which can filter and view conditions such as different times and different types, and can control the number of vibration false alarms within ≤10% of the total alarms.

[0087] On yet another hand, the system can also analyze the performance of optical fibers, specifically including: the system can regularly analyze the performance of the optical cable cores (including optical fiber loss, length, etc.); curve test and event analysis functions; adjusting basic measurement parameters; being able to adjust the OTDR range, pulse width, average number, and refractive index of the optical fiber; adjusting basic event analysis parameters; being able to adjust the average loss threshold of the optical fiber, the height threshold of the reflection event, the attenuation threshold of the non-reflection event, and the ending height threshold. After adjusting the analysis parameters, it is possible to directly analyze the already tested curve without having to retest (wherein, basic reflection events include: the jump points of the optical cable (i.e., the jump points connected by flange plates), the break points of the optical cable, and the end points of the optical cable. Basic non-reflection events include: the fusion points of the optical cable and the over-bending points); it is possible to add reflection and non-reflection event points that the system cannot automatically identify according to the curve condition, and the name of the event point can be manually edited to make the curve display more intuitive. The main event points can be identified by the site name or the machine room name; adjusting basic alarm threshold parameters; being able to adjust the fiber break alarm threshold, as well as the main and secondary alarm thresholds of the joint attenuation. This threshold adjustment is for each test route, and different test routes can set reasonable alarm parameter values that suit their own situations according to the specific conditions of the optical fiber line; matching the optical cable segments of the test curve with the actual optical cable resources; the system will automatically display the relevant optical cable segments associated with the test curve according to the fiber jump configuration of the optical path. It is possible to select the actual optical cable segment corresponding to the curve between two event points through fiber matching. After the curve between the event points is matched with the optical cable segment, when an alarm occurs, it is possible to specifically locate to the corresponding geographical location on the map, and more importantly, by moving the coordinates on the curve, the specific geographical location of the optical cable corresponding to the points on the curve can be synchronously displayed on the map interface; comparing the test curve with the reference curve, and comparing multiple test curves; the system named test curve, regular test curve, and fault test curve can all be compared with the reference curve, and it is also possible to compare multiple curves tested at different times on the same route. An intuitive comparison display is made through the up and down displacement of the curves.

[0088] In addition, the system also supports the route calibration of the stand-alone geographic information system, that is, the geographic information system can be updated regularly for free, supports user-editable route calibration, can also provide an open protocol for the later compatibility of the monitoring system, and also has security management and log management functions.

[0089] Among them, the purpose of security management is to ensure the security of the system, prevent the intrusion of unauthorized users, complete security control and intrusion recovery tasks, and divide the permissions and management scopes of different users according to business needs.

[0090] User management includes:

[0091] (1) System administrator, who has full authority and management scope.

[0092] (2) System Operator, who has full operational authority within the designated area but has no authority outside the designated area.
