[0017] Embodiment 1. Please refer to the attached Figure 1 drawings. The present application provides an intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device. Among them, the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device is used to implement the steps of the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring method. The intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device includes:
[0018] A device construction unit 11, which is used to build a water level monitoring device. The water level monitoring device includes a ToF sensor, an ultrasonic module, a power management module, a floating board or a floating ball, a wireless communication module, a data processor, and corresponding support and connection devices.
[0019] Specifically, a comprehensive water level monitoring device is built, integrating multiple technical modules, including a ToF sensor, an ultrasonic module, a power management module, a floating board or a floating ball, a wireless communication module, a data processor, and corresponding support and connection devices. Among them, the ToF sensor is the core measurement component of the device, which is used to emit optical signals (such as infrared light) and measure the time from signal emission to return, so as to accurately calculate the water level. The ToF sensor is not sensitive to environmental changes and can provide more stable and accurate measurement results under various conditions. The ToF sensor has the advantages of anti-light interference, long-distance ranging, and high ranging accuracy. The ultrasonic module assists the ToF sensor in measurement. It measures the distance by sending and receiving ultrasonic pulses and is also used to assist in removing biological deposits to keep the sensor clean, thus ensuring measurement accuracy. The ultrasonic module exists to remove possible blockages in the anti-biological net. Through short-term high-energy ultrasonic vibration and the cavitation effect of water, the activity of organisms is destroyed. At the same time, part of the attached organisms or other dirt is removed in the form of vibration to prevent the water inlet from being blocked and affecting measurement and monitoring.
[0020] The power management module is responsible for providing stable power for the entire device. The floating board or floating ball, as a cooperation target for the ToF sensor, is provided to overcome the inability of the optical sensor to directly monitor the water surface. The floating board or floating ball helps to stabilize the sensor and keep it in an appropriate position on the water surface. The wireless communication module allows the device to wirelessly transmit the collected data to the data processing center. The data processor is the brain of the device, responsible for processing and analyzing the collected data. According to the preset collection period, it receives data through the wireless communication module and invokes the water level ranging data algorithm model library for data processing. It periodically collects the target data of the ToF sensor and judges the current average water level through an algorithm that combines historical data. The support and connection devices are used to fix and support the device to ensure its correct position and stability in the water. Specifically, they include components such as brackets, pipes, ventilation holes, and biological nets. The ventilation holes ensure the internal pressure balance of the device, and the biological net is used to prevent biological attachment and protect the sensor.
[0021] When the water level monitoring device is working properly, it is fixed by brackets and pipes beside the river. Among them, the pipes and brackets play a protective role. Install the brackets at the monitoring points, fix the pipes on the brackets, and fix other components. Set ventilation holes on the pipes to facilitate the signal transmission of the sensors and communication modules. At the same time, install a biological net at the appropriate position of the pipe to prevent organisms from entering the pipe and interfering with the device. Install the ToF sensor at the appropriate position of the pipe to ensure that it can be vertically aligned with the water surface. There is a vibration isolation structure and a gap between the sensor end and the pipe, and they are not in close contact to avoid ultrasonic imaging sensors. The sensor end is convenient to disassemble, providing a possible rapid cleaning channel. Install the ultrasonic module near the ToF sensor and connect it to the outer wall of the pipe through bolts and stainless steel cranks to facilitate the cleaning of the sensor. Connect the power management module to each component of the device to ensure power supply. Place a floating board or a floating ball on the water surface as a reference target for the ToF sensor to measure the distance. Install the wireless communication module on the device and ensure that its signal transmission path is unobstructed. Install the data processor inside the device and connect all sensors and communication modules. By setting up the water level monitoring device, it is ensured that efficient and accurate water level monitoring can be provided in various environments, especially suitable for application scenarios that require high-precision and reliable monitoring, such as water resource management, flood warning, and reservoir operation.
[0022] The device processing unit 12 is used to supply power and support connection to the water level monitoring device respectively through the power management module and the corresponding support connection device, and at the same time drive the ultrasonic module to perform auxiliary biological deposit removal processing on the water level monitoring device.
[0023] Specifically, the power management module may include a battery, a solar panel or other power supply devices, as well as related circuits and control systems, which are responsible for providing stable power for the entire water level monitoring device, such as the ToF sensor, the ultrasonic module, the wireless communication module, the data processor, etc. The support connection device includes brackets, pipes, and components such as ventilation holes and biological nets. The ventilation holes ensure the internal pressure balance of the device, and the biological net is used to prevent biological attachment and protect the sensors. Install the brackets at the monitoring points to ensure that they are stable and horizontal and can support the weight of the entire device. The processor periodically drives the ultrasonic module to work for a short time to process the possible attached biological deposits, prevent the device pipes from being blocked, and automatically start the resonance point scanning before and after work to ensure the normal resonance of the system and achieve the expected effect. The ultrasonic module is not only used for auxiliary measurement but also for removing biological deposits. Through high-frequency vibration, the biological deposits attached to the device surface, such as algae, shellfish or other aquatic organisms, are removed, which helps to keep the sensors clean and thus ensures the measurement accuracy. The power management module ensures that the device can obtain stable power supply under various conditions. The support connection device ensures the stability and correct position of the device in the water. The auxiliary biological deposit removal processing of the ultrasonic module reduces the maintenance requirements and improves the reliability and measurement accuracy of the device.
[0024] A signal transmitting unit 13 is configured to use the floating board or floating ball as a cooperation target, and perform signal transmission ranging on the target water surface through the ToF sensor to collect and obtain a water level ranging monitoring signal stream.
[0025] Specifically, the floating board or floating ball serves as a cooperation target for the ToF sensor, providing a stable and easily recognizable reflection surface, enabling the ToF sensor to accurately measure the distance between it and the water surface. Since the floating board or floating ball floats on the water surface, the distance between the floating board or floating ball and the ToF sensor represents the current water level height. The ToF sensor emits an optical signal (such as infrared light) to the floating board or floating ball and measures the time from signal emission to return, and can accurately calculate the distance between the sensor and the floating board or floating ball. Generally, the floating board or floating ball needs to be placed on the water surface to ensure its stable position and not move significantly due to water flow or wind. The ToF sensor is installed on a bracket or pipeline at a certain height above the water surface to ensure no obstruction within its line of sight and is aligned with the center of the floating board or floating ball to ensure the accuracy of signal emission and reception. By using the floating board or floating ball as a target and combining the precise measurement ability of the ToF sensor, the water level monitoring device can provide efficient and accurate water level monitoring in various environments.
[0026] A data acquisition unit 14 is configured to perform data communication acquisition on the water level ranging monitoring signal stream based on the data processor according to a preset acquisition period through the wireless communication module to obtain a water level ranging period signal stream set.
[0027] Specifically, the data processor is the brain of the device, responsible for processing and analyzing the collected data. According to the preset acquisition period, it receives data through the wireless communication module and invokes the water level ranging data algorithm model library for data processing. Determine the data acquisition frequency according to monitoring requirements and environmental conditions, such as every minute, every hour, or every day. Set the acquisition period in the data processor to ensure that it can automatically perform data acquisition at a preset time interval. The data processor triggers the ToF sensor to perform water level ranging at regular intervals according to the preset acquisition period. The ToF sensor emits a signal and receives the signal reflected from the floating board or floating ball, and calculates the water level distance. Record the water level distance data measured each time in the data processor, pack it in a certain format, and send it to the monitoring center or cloud server through the wireless communication module. Store the received water level ranging data on the monitoring center or cloud server, and organize the data within the same acquisition period into a set to form a water level ranging period signal stream set. Ensure that the water level monitoring device effectively acquires and transmits water level data through the wireless communication module according to the preset acquisition period, so as to form a water level ranging period signal stream set on the monitoring center or cloud server.
[0028] A trend analysis unit 15 is configured to call a water level ranging data algorithm model library through the data processor, perform matching data processing on the water level ranging period signal flow set based on the water level ranging data algorithm model library, obtain a target period water level information set, and perform a change trend analysis based on the target period water level information set to generate a target water level monitoring report.
[0029] Specifically, analyze the influencing factors of the water level monitoring scenario to determine various factor combination parameters that affect the accuracy of water level data processing. Match the data processing algorithms with the water level ranging factor parameter table to obtain an adaptation data processing algorithm set for various factor parameters. Integrate and configure to obtain a complete water level ranging data algorithm model library, which contains a complete algorithm set from data filtering to data processing. The data processor processes the water level ranging period signal flow set according to the models in the water level ranging data algorithm model library, including operations such as filtering, feature extraction, and prediction, to extract and optimize the water level data. Through data processing, a set containing target period water level information is obtained, which includes the processed water level data and reflects the water level changes and states within a specific time period. Perform a change trend analysis on the target period water level information set, compare the data at different time points, identify the patterns or trends of water level changes, such as rising, falling, stable, etc. Detect any abnormal changes in the trend analysis, such as sudden rises or drops. Generate a water level monitoring report based on the change trend analysis and abnormal monitoring results, which includes detailed information on water level changes, such as water level change trend charts, abnormal event records, water level accuracy analysis, confidence level assessment, etc. By using the trained models for data processing, improve the accuracy of data processing, optimize the data processing effect, and thus generate accurate and reliable water level monitoring reports to provide decision-making support for water resource management, flood warning, environmental protection, etc.
[0030] Furthermore, the trend analysis unit 15 in the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device is further configured to:
[0031] Obtain a water level ranging factor parameter table, perform noise characteristic analysis and filter algorithm configuration in sequence based on the water level ranging factor parameter table to obtain a multi-factor data filtering algorithm list; obtain data filtering preprocessing nodes according to the multi-factor data filtering algorithm list; perform data processing algorithm matching based on the water level ranging factor parameter table to obtain a multi-factor data processing algorithm model list, and train a water level data processing node based on the multi-factor data processing algorithm model list; sequentially integrate and configure the data filtering preprocessing nodes and the water level data processing nodes to obtain the water level ranging data algorithm model library, and store the water level ranging data algorithm model library in the data processor.
[0032] Specifically, the water level ranging factor parameter table includes various factor combination parameters that affect the accuracy of water level data processing, such as water temperature, water surface fluctuations, water quality, reflections from surrounding objects, atmospheric conditions, etc. Conduct a noise characteristic analysis on the water level ranging factor parameter table to identify and quantify various noises that affect the accuracy of water level measurement data, including the types of noises (such as random noise, periodic noise, etc.) and characteristics. According to the noise characteristics, select a suitable filtering algorithm for each factor, such as low-pass filtering, high-pass filtering, band-pass filtering, Kalman filtering, etc. The filtering algorithm is used to remove or reduce the noise in the data, improving the accuracy and reliability of the data. Configure the selected filtering algorithm as a parameterized list to form a multi-factor data filtering algorithm list, including the adaptive filtering algorithms for various factor parameters in the water level ranging factor parameter table. Based on the multi-factor data filtering algorithm list, select and configure a data filtering algorithm suitable for the current measurement environment and conditions to remove or reduce the noise in the data at the initial stage of the data processing flow, improving the accuracy and reliability of the data.
[0033] Select and configure a data processing algorithm suitable for the current measurement environment and conditions for the water level ranging factor parameter table, such as linear regression, neural network, support vector machine, etc. Through algorithm matching, obtain a model list containing multiple data processing algorithms. Each algorithm model is optimized and configured according to specific factor parameters and data processing requirements. Prepare a training data set, including the input water level ranging data and the corresponding target output. Use the training data set to train each model in the multi-factor data processing algorithm model list to obtain water level data processing nodes. Integrate and configure the data filtering preprocessing node and the water level data processing node in a certain order to form a complete data processing flow. Through the integration and configuration, obtain a complete water level ranging data algorithm model library, including a complete set of algorithms from data filtering to data processing, for optimizing and improving the accuracy and reliability of water level measurement data. Store the water level ranging data algorithm model library in the data processor so that the data processor can access and call these algorithm models to process and optimize the collected water level measurement data. By integrating and configuring the data filtering preprocessing node and the water level data processing node, form a complete and optimized data processing flow, select and configure filtering algorithms and processing algorithms suitable for the current environment and conditions, reduce the errors in the data, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the data. The multi-factor data filtering algorithm list and the data processing algorithm model list allow the selection of the most suitable processing method according to different environments and conditions, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the system.
[0034] Furthermore, the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device further includes a parameter table acquisition unit for:
[0035] Analyze the influencing factors of the water level monitoring scenario information to obtain the water level monitoring influencing factor information, where the water level monitoring influencing factor information includes weather conditions, hydrogeological conditions, and water quality status; classify and fill the water level monitoring scenario information based on the water level monitoring influencing factor information to obtain a set of water level monitoring scenario factor parameters; classify and integrate the ToF sensor database by measuring the influencing factors with sensors to obtain the sensor performance factor parameter information; perform parameter orthogonal arrangement based on the set of water level monitoring scenario factor parameters and the sensor performance factor parameter information to obtain the water level ranging factor parameter table.
[0036] Specifically, analyze the water level monitoring scenario information, identify and analyze various factors affecting water level monitoring, including weather conditions (such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, precipitation, etc.), hydrogeological conditions (such as groundwater level, soil type, river flow direction, topography, etc.), and water quality status (such as pH value, dissolved oxygen, suspended solids, etc.). The water level monitoring scenario information includes the geographical location, environmental conditions, water body characteristics, etc. of the monitoring location. Classify the specific weather condition, hydrogeological condition, and water quality status parameters into the corresponding monitoring scenarios, and through classification and filling, obtain a set that includes the specific weather condition, hydrogeological condition, and water quality status parameters in each water level monitoring scenario.
[0037] Use various sensors (such as temperature sensors, humidity sensors, water quality analysis sensors, etc.) to measure various factors affecting the performance of the ToF sensor, including environmental temperature, humidity, water quality status, etc. Classify and integrate the measured influencing factor data into the ToF sensor database, that is, associate different types of influencing factor data with the corresponding ToF sensor models and performance parameters. Record the specific models, performance parameters (such as measurement range, accuracy, resolution, etc.) of the ToF sensor and calibration information to form the sensor performance factor parameter information. Adopt the method of orthogonal arrangement to combine the set of water level monitoring scenario factor parameters and the sensor performance factor parameter information to ensure that all possible factor combinations are considered. Parameter orthogonal arrangement is a multi-factor experimental design method used to arrange and combine multiple factors to determine their influence on the results. Through parameter orthogonal arrangement, obtain a set of water level ranging factor parameters containing various different combinations, including various factor combinations that may affect water level ranging under different scenarios and sensor conditions. By considering various influencing factors, improve the accuracy and reliability of water level monitoring, and adapt to different environments and conditions according to the sensor performance factor parameter information to improve the performance of the overall monitoring system. The water level monitoring device can more comprehensively consider various influencing factors of the monitoring scenario, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of water level monitoring.

According to the water level ranging factor parameter table, identify each model in the water level ranging factor data processing model library, that is, assign one or more identifiers related to the factor parameters it applies to for each model, so as to facilitate subsequent water level data processing. Through identification integration, obtain an adapted data processing algorithm list including various factor parameters in the water level ranging factor parameter table. Through classification and labeling and model training, improve the accuracy of data processing, optimize the data processing effect, and accurately process and analyze water level data through the trained model library and algorithm model list, improving the accuracy and efficiency of water level monitoring.
[0042] Furthermore, the trend analysis unit 15 in the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device is further used for:

[0044] Specifically, according to the water level ranging factor parameter table (including various factor combination parameters affecting the accuracy of water level data processing), classify and identify each data flow in the water level ranging period signal flow set (a set containing water level ranging data collected within a specific time period). Group the data flows with the same water level ranging factor parameters into one category to form the water level period signal factor parameter set. Use the water level period signal factor parameter set as the water level factor calibration parameter set for subsequent model matching and data processing. Calibration parameters are parameters used to calibrate and optimize the measurement system to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurement results.

[0046] Furthermore, the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device further includes a result correction unit for:
[0047] The data processor monitors the working state of the ToF sensor to obtain the data stream of the sensor working state; performs anomaly recognition detection on the data stream of the sensor working state according to the sensor working threshold to obtain the information of abnormal sensor working data; classifies the abnormal factors and analyzes the degree of influence based on the information of abnormal sensor working data to obtain the water level accuracy influence factors; performs confidence evaluation and result correction on the target cycle water level information set based on the water level accuracy influence factors.
[0048] Specifically, the data processor monitors the working state of the ToF sensor in real time through various sensors and monitoring systems to obtain the working state data of the ToF sensor, including water level ranging data, signal strength, sampling frequency, communication status, etc., forming a data stream of the sensor working state. According to the sensor performance and design standards, normal working thresholds are set for the working parameters of the sensor, such as signal strength threshold, sampling frequency range, etc., to judge whether the working state of the sensor is normal. The data stream of the sensor working state is compared with the preset sensor working threshold, and the abnormal data exceeding the threshold is identified and recorded to form the information of abnormal sensor working data. The information of abnormal sensor working data is classified, including faults of the sensor itself (such as window contamination, electronic component faults), environmental factors (such as water surface fluctuation, atmospheric refraction), or operation errors, etc. The classified abnormal factors are analyzed to evaluate the degree of influence of each abnormal factor on the water level measurement accuracy. By calculating the error size, analyzing the data fluctuation situation, or comparing the measurement results under normal and abnormal conditions, the water level accuracy influence factors are obtained.
[0049] According to the water level accuracy influence factors, confidence evaluation is performed on each data point in the target cycle water level information set, and the reliability of the water level information is scored according to the influence factors, so as to reflect the credibility of the measurement result. According to the result of the confidence evaluation, accuracy correction is performed on the water level information, including adjusting the measurement value, adding the error range, or using a more reliable data source. Through confidence evaluation and result correction, the accuracy of the water level information is improved and the measurement error is reduced. The data processor periodically judges whether the ToF sensor works abnormally, such as window contamination (abnormal distance, too close), and provides information to the staff for cleaning. Real-time monitoring of the working state of the sensor helps to adapt to different environments and conditions and improve the performance of the overall monitoring system.
[0050] Furthermore, the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device further includes a parameter optimization unit for:
[0051] When the ToF sensor is in a window contamination state, analyze the contamination situation of the abnormal sensor operating data information to obtain the sensor window contamination characteristic parameters; based on the sensor window contamination characteristic parameters, perform an optimization analysis of the operating parameters of the ultrasonic module to determine the ultrasonic operating control parameter information; based on the ultrasonic operating control parameter information, verify the control effect of the ultrasonic module to obtain the deposition removal control effect, and feedback-optimize the ultrasonic operating control parameter information through the deposition removal control effect.
[0052] Specifically, when the ToF sensor is in a window contamination state, that is, the front window of the ToF sensor (i.e., the interface between the sensor and the external environment) is covered or blocked by dirt, sediment, biological attachments, or other obstacles, resulting in the sensor being unable to accurately measure or receive the reflected signal. The abnormal sensor operating data information refers to the set of abnormal sensor operating data obtained through abnormal identification detection, including abnormal voltage, current, signal strength, etc. Analyze the window contamination situation based on the abnormal sensor operating data information, including analyzing data changes, comparing measurement results under normal and contaminated conditions, etc., to determine the degree of contamination. Through the contamination situation analysis, obtain the sensor window contamination characteristic parameters, including the contamination type (such as biological attachment, sediment, etc.), contamination area, and contamination degree, etc.
[0053] According to the sensor window contamination characteristic parameters, perform an optimization analysis of the operating parameters of the ultrasonic module, and select the best ultrasonic vibration frequency, duration, energy intensity, etc. parameters according to the type, area, and degree of contamination. Through the optimization analysis of the operating parameters, determine a set of optimal ultrasonic operating control parameters for controlling the ultrasonic module to remove the contamination on the sensor window with the best effect. Use the ultrasonic operating control parameter information to control the ultrasonic module to remove the contamination on the sensor window. Verify the control effect, evaluate the control effect of the deposition removal, and check the cleanliness of the sensor window. According to the deposition removal control effect, perform feedback optimization on the ultrasonic operating control parameter information, adjust the parameters according to the actual cleaning effect, and improve the cleaning efficiency and effect. Automatically identify and handle the contamination problem of the sensor window to ensure that when the ToF sensor is contaminated on the window, through the effective cleaning of the ultrasonic module, its normal working state is restored, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the water level monitoring.
[0054] In summary, the intelligent ultrasonic-assisted ToF water level monitoring device provided by this application has the following technical effects:
