It should also be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, rather than all of them.

[0016] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a monitoring system for infrasound detection of pipeline pigging operations, the system comprising:

[0017] The pipeline topology construction module 11 is used to obtain pipeline distribution information and construct a pipeline topology, wherein the pipeline topology is a spatial topology including multiple pipeline types in a preset space.

[0018] Specifically, the pipeline topology construction module 11 obtains detailed distribution information of multiple pipelines in a preset space, including the length, diameter, material, burial depth, and connection relationship of the pipelines, by integrating the geographic information system (GIS) with the pipeline database. Then, the spatial topology analysis method is used to perform spatial analysis on the acquired pipeline data to generate a spatial topological structure of multiple pipeline types and their relative positions, namely, the pipeline topology. The pipeline topology refers to the relative layout and connection relationship of pipelines in three-dimensional space. Multiple pipeline types include pipelines of different materials, diameters, and uses, such as oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines, and water pipes. Finally, the pipeline topology map generated by the pipeline topology construction module 11 can intuitively display the structure of the pipeline network and provide basic data support for subsequent monitoring and analysis.

[0019] The pipeline topology marking module 12 is used to retrieve pipeline monitoring data in a preset time zone, mine risk features and mark the pipeline topology, wherein the risk features include risk location-risk type-risk level-risk frequency, and the risk features have an upstream and downstream relationship.

[0020] Specifically, the pipeline topology marking module 12 first retrieves the monitoring data of multiple pipelines in a preset time zone from the pipeline monitoring database. The pipeline monitoring data includes various parameter changes of the operating status of the pipeline, such as pipeline pressure, flow, temperature, etc. Then, the monitoring data is used as input data and input into the pre-trained machine learning model. The machine learning model can be an algorithm based on random forest, support vector machine or deep learning. The machine learning model deeply mines the pipeline monitoring data by identifying abnormal patterns and trends in the data, and identifies the risk characteristics that may exist in the pipeline. The risk characteristics include risk location, risk type, risk level and risk frequency. The risk location refers to the specific location where a failure may occur in the pipeline. The risk type refers to the type of failure that may occur in the pipeline, such as corrosion, leakage, blockage, etc. The risk level refers to the severity of the risk, and the risk frequency refers to the frequency of the risk. The risk characteristics have an upstream and downstream relationship in the pipeline. Based on the mined risk characteristics and their upstream and downstream relationships, the pipeline topology is marked, and the risk area of ​​the pipeline is clearly identified, providing an important reference for subsequent monitoring and maintenance.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the pipeline topology marking module 12 is used to: traverse the risk features, divide them into multiple feature groups based on mutual influence, wherein the mutual influence includes the occurrence of synergy and timing influence; based on the pipeline position, associate the multiple feature groups upstream and downstream, and determine the association relationship, and determine the upstream and downstream relationship.

[0022] Specifically, the pipeline topology marking module 12 sequentially traverses each identified risk feature, namely, risk location, risk type, risk level and risk frequency. Then, based on the mutual influence relationship between different risk features, namely, the possible occurrence synergy and timing influence between risk features, the interrelated risk features are divided into multiple feature groups. The occurrence synergy refers to the simultaneous occurrence of multiple risk features at the same time or at a similar time, indicating that there may be a common cause or mutual promotion relationship between them. The timing influence refers to the appearance of a risk feature that may trigger or aggravate another risk feature, forming a temporal sequence and causal relationship. Then, using the pipeline location information in the pipeline topology, multiple feature groups are associated with upstream and downstream. The risk features in the pipeline network often do not exist in isolation, and may propagate along the flow direction or specific path of the pipeline to form an upstream and downstream relationship. For example, the risk of the upstream pipe section may trigger a chain reaction in the downstream pipe section. The pipeline topology marking module 12 determines the upstream and downstream associations between feature groups by comparing the relative positions of the risk positions in the feature groups, combining the flow direction and connection relationship of the pipeline, and further clarifies this association relationship to determine the upstream and downstream relationship. By determining the upstream and downstream relationships of each risk feature group, a basis is provided for a comprehensive assessment of pipeline risks.

[0023] The sensor configuration module 13 is used to traverse the pipeline topology, configure the sensor array and set the acoustic wave detection frequency in combination with the risk characteristics, and the sensor array is an acoustic wave sensor type.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the sensor configuration module 13 is used to traverse the risk characteristics, determine the infrasound wave generation characteristics of the risk event, and the infrasound wave generation characteristics include the propagation direction of the generated infrasound wave along the pipe wall; determine the effective sensing position based on the infrasound wave generation characteristics; traverse the effective sensing positions and configure the sensor array.

[0025] Specifically, the sensor configuration module 13 first traverses the entire pipeline topology and analyzes the location, direction and material information of each pipeline. Then, according to the risk characteristics identified by the pipeline topology marking module 12, the infrasound generation characteristics of the risk event are determined, and the infrasound generation characteristics refer to the small pressure fluctuations and propagation paths generated by the infrasound when the risk event occurs, including the propagation direction of the generated infrasound along the pipe wall. Then, the infrasound generation characteristics are further analyzed to determine the best position where the sensor can efficiently sense the infrasound, that is, the effective sensing position. Then all the determined effective sensing positions are traversed, and sensors are configured at these effective sensing positions to form a sensor array to ensure that the sensor covers all risk areas. The sensor array is an acoustic wave sensor class, such as an infrasound sensor, a broadband acoustic wave sensor, etc., which detects the leakage of the pipeline by sensing the infrasound. At the same time, according to the risk characteristics and the actual situation of the pipeline, the acoustic wave detection frequency is set for each risk feature to ensure that the sensor array can perform acoustic wave detection at a certain time. By rationally configuring the sensor array and setting the frequency through the sensor configuration module 13, it is possible to efficiently and comprehensively monitor the operation status of the pipeline and timely discover and deal with potential risks.

[0026] The passive infrasound wave sensing module 14 is used to perform passive infrasound wave sensing based on the sensor array to determine a first sound wave signal.

[0027] Specifically, the passive infrasound wave sensing module 14 performs passive monitoring without actively emitting sound wave signals through an array of sound wave sensors arranged in the risk area of ​​the pipeline. The passive infrasound wave sensing module 14 can capture and identify low-frequency infrasound waves naturally generated in the pipeline environment through highly sensitive infrasound wave sensors. Low-frequency infrasound waves are sound waves with a frequency lower than 20 Hz, which are small pressure fluctuations caused by risk events such as pipeline leakage and corrosion. When an infrasound wave signal is detected by the sensor array, the passive infrasound wave sensing module 14 immediately starts the analysis and processing mechanism to filter, amplify and extract features of the received sound wave signal to eliminate background noise interference and highlight the features related to the change in pipeline status. Finally, the first sound wave signal is determined and output, which is an infrasound wave signal that is first identified by passive sensing and may indicate pipeline abnormality or potential risks. The first sound wave signal reflects the potential abnormal conditions in the pipeline. Through this process, the passive infrasound wave sensing module 14 can perceive the infrasound changes inside the pipeline in real time and accurately, providing basic data support for subsequent pipeline status assessment.

[0028] The active sound wave detection module 15 is used to perform active sound wave detection based on the sound wave detection frequency to determine a second sound wave signal.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the active acoustic wave detection module 15 is used to: differentiate the acoustic wave detection frequencies of the risk features of the pipeline topology identification; identify the acoustic wave detection frequencies and determine the pre-detection pipeline position; and based on the infrasound wave transmitter, directionally emit active detection acoustic waves to perform infrasound wave detection on the pre-detection pipeline position.

[0030] Specifically, the active acoustic wave detection module 15 sets different acoustic wave detection frequencies according to the risk characteristics of the pipeline topology identification, and there are differences. Identify the acoustic wave detection frequency of each risk characteristic, determine the pre-detection pipeline position that needs to be detected, and the pre-detection pipeline position is determined based on the identified risk characteristics, and there may be potential problems. Then, use the infrasound transmitter to actively and directionally transmit the detection sound wave to the pre-detection pipeline position, and perform infrasound detection on the pre-detection pipeline position. The infrasound transmitter refers to a device that can generate and emit infrasound waves, which is used to actively detect the conditions inside the pipeline. Active detection can improve the pertinence and efficiency of detection. In the process of actively emitting detection sound waves for infrasound detection, after the sensor array receives the reflected signal of the active detection sound wave propagating and reflected in the pipeline, it is filtered, amplified and feature extracted to eliminate background noise interference and highlight the features related to the change of pipeline state, forming a second sound wave signal, that is, the second sound wave signal refers to the infrasound reflection signal obtained by active detection, which can reflect the conditions and potential abnormalities in the pipeline, and provide accurate and reliable basic data support for subsequent pipeline state assessment.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the active acoustic wave detection module 15 is also used to: determine the initialization detection acoustic wave; compensate the initialization detection acoustic wave as an active detection acoustic wave; wherein the acoustic wave compensation method includes: determining multiple frequency wavelengths, compensating and marking the initialization detection acoustic wave as a type of active detection acoustic wave; introducing a tracking medium, combined with the initialization detection acoustic wave, as a second type of active detection acoustic wave.

[0032] Specifically, the active sound wave detection module 15 is not only used to emit infrasound waves for detection, but also to solve the problem of poor infrasound directionality, and to quickly and accurately track and locate sound waves. The active sound wave detection module 15 first determines an initialization detection sound wave, which is an infrasound signal used for preliminary detection and is the starting point of sound wave tracking. Since the directionality of infrasound waves is relatively weak, in order to enhance the accuracy of detection, the initialization detection sound wave is compensated to enhance its effectiveness in different environments and form an active detection sound wave. The sound wave compensation method includes selecting a plurality of different frequency wavelengths within the infrasound wave frequency range, that is, multi-frequency wavelengths. Then, the initialization detection sound wave is adjusted and enhanced in multiple dimensions such as frequency and amplitude according to the multi-frequency wavelength, forming a class of active detection sound waves with specific identification and compensation characteristics. By changing the frequency characteristics of the initialization detection sound wave, it can be better propagated in different media and environments, thereby improving the accuracy of detection.

[0033] Secondly, a tracking medium is introduced. The tracking medium is a material or method used to adjust the characteristics of the sound wave to enhance the traceability of the sound wave signal. For example, the tracking medium can be a material with specific acoustic properties, or a gas or liquid introduced into the pipeline, which can interact with the sound wave and change the propagation path or characteristics of the sound wave. By combining the tracking medium with the initialization detection sound wave, a second type of active detection sound wave is generated. The second type of active detection sound wave not only inherits the basic characteristics of the initialization sound wave, but also obtains stronger directional control capabilities and more accurate detection information due to the intervention of the tracking medium, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. Through the above-mentioned dual strategies of compensation and medium introduction, the active sound wave detection module can significantly improve the tracking and positioning accuracy of infrasound waves, and provide more reliable and efficient technical support for subsequent pipeline monitoring, troubleshooting and safety warning.

[0034] The pipeline state characteristic determination module 16 is used to combine the first sound wave signal and the second sound wave signal with the sound wave decision module to perform sound wave signal recognition and pipeline abnormality positioning to determine the pipeline state characteristics.

[0035] Specifically, the pipeline state feature determination module 16 receives the first sound wave signal determined by the passive infrasound wave sensing module 14 and the second sound wave signal determined by the active sound wave detection module 15, and respectively identifies and analyzes the first sound wave signal and the second sound wave signal according to the active decision area and the passive decision area in the sound wave decision module, accurately distinguishes normal sound wave features from abnormal sound wave features, and then identifies and locates leakage, blockage, vibration exceeding the standard and other abnormalities in the pipeline. According to the analysis results, the pipeline state feature is comprehensively determined, and the pipeline state feature is a comprehensive indicator reflecting the current health status of the pipeline, including the condition of the inner wall of the pipeline, the location and severity of potential risks, etc., which ensures a comprehensive assessment of the pipeline state and improves the accuracy and efficiency of pipeline abnormality identification.

[0036] In a possible implementation, the pipeline state feature determination module 16 is used for: the acoustic wave decision module includes an active decision area and a passive decision area; receiving the first acoustic wave signal, activating the active decision area to perform acoustic wave signal recognition and pipeline abnormality positioning; receiving the second acoustic wave signal, activating the passive decision area to perform acoustic wave signal recognition and pipeline abnormality positioning, wherein the active decision area and the passive decision area are relatively independent.

[0037] Specifically, since the sound wave states obtained by active detection and passive detection are different, the sound wave decision module includes an active decision area and a passive decision area. The active decision area refers to an analysis area that specifically processes passive sensing signals, identifies abnormal features in sound wave signals through a specific algorithm, and locates possible pipeline problems. The passive decision area refers to an analysis area that specifically processes active detection signals, and locates possible pipeline problems by analyzing abnormal features in reflected signals. The pipeline state feature determination module 16 receives the first sound wave signal determined by the passive infrasound wave perception module 14, activates the active decision area, analyzes the first sound wave information using a pre-set algorithm and model, identifies sound wave features related to pipeline abnormalities (such as leakage, cracks, etc.), and locates pipeline abnormalities. The pre-set algorithm and model are, for example, a spectrum analysis algorithm, a waveform matching model, and a machine learning classifier. For example, after receiving the first sound wave signal, the pipeline state feature determination module 16 activates the active decision area, processes the first sound wave signal using a spectrum analysis algorithm, and can identify whether there is a peak that matches the characteristic frequency of pipeline leakage by analyzing the spectrum diagram. If so, it is determined that there may be a leakage problem in the pipeline, and the pipeline abnormality is located.

[0038] Similarly, after the pipeline state characteristic determination module 16 receives the second sound wave signal determined by the active sound wave detection module 15, it activates the passive decision area in the sound wave decision module and inputs the second sound wave signal into the passive decision area for analysis. By analyzing the abnormal characteristics in the reflected signal, potential problems in the pipeline are identified. Using algorithms such as time domain reflection analysis, the time and intensity changes of the infrasound reflected back when encountering anomalies in the pipeline are detected by the time domain reflection analysis algorithm, so as to accurately locate the problem area. Since the sound wave states obtained by active detection and passive detection are different, the active decision area and the passive decision area are relatively independent, and targeted analysis is performed separately to ensure the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the analysis results.

[0039] The visual warning module 17 is used to generate a pipeline monitoring list and perform terminal visual warning based on the pipeline status characteristics.

[0040] Specifically, the visual warning module 17 receives the pipeline status characteristics obtained from the pipeline status characteristic determination module 16, organizes the received pipeline status characteristics into a form, and generates a pipeline monitoring sheet, which is a detailed pipeline monitoring report, including each risk location and its corresponding risk characteristics, for reference by pipeline maintenance personnel. And use data visualization technology to intuitively display the information in the monitoring sheet on the terminal device to perform terminal visual warning. For example, using charts, heat maps, and pipeline topology maps, and using visual elements such as graphics, colors, and animations, pipeline anomalies are highlighted and emergency prompts are given, and the risk distribution of the pipeline is intuitively presented, ensuring that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly capture key information and respond in a timely manner. The visual warning module 17 uses terminal visual warning methods to not only improve the efficiency and accuracy of pipeline monitoring, but also enhance the timeliness of emergency treatment, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the pipeline.

[0041] In a possible implementation, the visual warning module 17 is used to: prioritize the pipeline monitoring list based on the risk level as the first priority feature and the affected scope as the second priority feature to determine the risk sequence; perform homologous clustering on the pipeline status features to determine the clustering results; based on the clustering results, mark the risk sequence to perform terminal visual warning and pipeline operation and maintenance management.

[0042] Specifically, the visual early warning module 17 first uses the risk level as the first priority feature to sort the pipeline monitoring forms. The risk level refers to the severity of each risk event. The higher the risk level, the higher the priority of its processing, ensuring that high-risk events can be responded to quickly. Then, for situations with the same risk level, the scope of impact is used as the second priority feature to further subdivide and sort the pipeline monitoring forms. The scope of impact refers to the length of the pipeline or the size of the area that may be affected by a certain risk event. The wider the scope of impact, the greater its urgency and importance, to ensure that problems with greater potential impacts can be dealt with first. According to the priority sorting, the risk sequence is determined. The risk sequence refers to the pipeline monitoring forms that have been prioritized, arranged according to risk level and scope of impact.

[0043] After the sorting is completed, the state characteristics of the pipeline are clustered using homologous clustering methods, such as k-means or DBSCAN algorithms. The homologous clustering refers to classifying pipeline risk events with similar or identical sources (such as materials, installation environment, service life, etc.) and performance characteristics into the same category, so as to better identify and handle similar risks. The clustering results are formed by aggregating the same or similar risk events together. Finally, based on the clustering results, the determined risk sequence is marked, and the risk points with the highest operation and maintenance priority will be handled first. Since the homologous clustering results show that the operation and maintenance methods of these risk points are similar, the homologous risk points are marked in the same way, that is, the same identifier or symbol is used for the same type of risk points, which is convenient for rapid identification in the visual interface. In the terminal visual warning interface, different colors or icons are used to represent risk points of different categories and priorities. For example, a red triangle mark indicates an area with high risk and needs to be handled immediately, and a yellow circle mark indicates a medium risk area. Users can quickly understand which areas need to be prioritized for operation and maintenance through the visual interface. The marking and visual warning based on the clustering results improve the operation and maintenance efficiency and reduce the response time, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the pipeline.
