[0066] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this specification to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0067] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in this specification and claims and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of this specification described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, device, product or equipment that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0068] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of this specification provides an intelligent ball-casting and ball-receiving monitoring system 10, comprising: a multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1, an antenna 2, a monitoring box 3, a rubber ball 4 and a server (not shown in the figure);

[0069] The multilayer non-metallic composite pipe 1 is connected to the pipeline. Specifically, the multilayer non-metallic composite pipe 1 is connected to the oil well pipeline through a flange to ensure the stability of the connection between it and the oil well pipeline; and the inner diameter of the multilayer non-metallic composite pipe 1 is adapted to the inner diameter of the pipeline to ensure the smooth movement of the rubber ball in the pipeline and in the multilayer non-metallic composite pipe 1; it should be noted that the pipeline in the embodiment of this specification can be an oil and gas field pipeline, in addition to this, it can also be a municipal water pipeline, sewage drainage pipeline and other types of pipelines. The rubber ball can travel in various pipelines to achieve the assessment of the health status of various pipelines.

[0070] The antenna 2 is arranged on the inner wall of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1, and the monitoring box 3 is arranged above the outer side of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1;

[0071] The antenna 2 is arranged inside the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1, which can shorten the distance between the rubber ball 4 and the antenna 2 when the rubber ball 4 moves to the location of the antenna 2, making it easier for the antenna 2 to capture the signal of the chip inside the rubber ball 4 and improve the success rate of capture. The monitoring box 3 is arranged outside the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1, so that it can transmit the collected information to the server by wireless or wired connection.

[0072] The rubber ball 4 has a diameter range of 40-145mm and is provided with a chip for generating signals. The chip is a passive chip, that is, a chip that does not require power or other external energy sources. Passive chips have low power consumption, high stability, good reliability and relatively low cost; in addition, passive chips will not be affected by pipeline shielding and cannot transmit information, and are small in size, so they can be used in pipelines. The chip can be an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip or a microwave chip. Therefore, the signal produced by the chip can be a radio frequency wave signal or a microwave signal. The rubber ball is made of rubber material, which has the properties of high pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, acid resistance and sulfur resistance. It is suitable for the crude oil environment in oil and gas pipelines, and is also suitable for the liquid environment in tap water pipes or sewage pipes; at the same time, it also has excellent anti-interference performance.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, the chip may be packaged using a micro ceramic chip molding technology; and the chip may be implanted into the rubber ball using a high temperature implantation technology.

[0074] The antenna 2 is used to capture the signal and feed back the capture result of the signal to the monitoring box 3; in the embodiment of this specification, the antenna can be one of the antennas such as a high-gain antenna, a corner reflection antenna, a circularly polarized antenna, a loop antenna, an array antenna, a patch antenna, etc., or a combination of several of them.

[0075] The monitoring box 3 is used to read the ID information of the chip according to the capture result, and write the site mark of the current site and the time mark corresponding to the current site into the chip; the monitoring box 3 is also used to connect to the server and feed back the ID information, the site mark and the time mark to the server.

[0076] In the embodiments of this specification, the server can be an on-site or remote SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system and a web server. Furthermore, the terminal connected to the server (which can be a smart phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, personal digital assistant, smart wearable device, etc.) or the software installed on the terminal can intuitively display the ball-dropping and receiving time, time, number of ball-dropping, warning, etc. of each single well in the form of reports, trend charts, etc., and the number of ball-dropping and time-consuming changes of each single well on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis, so that oilfield managers can timely understand the health status of oil well pipelines, and it can also be used as a decision-making analysis method and tool in oilfield production operations.

[0077] The antenna emits radio waves at predetermined time intervals (for example, the predetermined time interval can be 100ms), and it can capture radio waves within a distance of 0-500mm. When it captures the signal, it feeds back the successful capture result to the monitoring box 3. Then, the monitoring box 3 reads and stores the ID information of the chip in the rubber ball that emits the signal, and automatically generates the reading time (i.e., the time mark of the current time) and the information of the oil well pipeline where the antenna and the monitoring box are located (i.e., the site mark) and writes them into the chip.

[0078] When the rubber ball travels in the pipeline to each station where the intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring system provided by the embodiment of this specification is installed, the intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring system can automatically read the ID information of the rubber ball and write the time mark and station mark into the chip in the rubber ball. Finally, when the rubber ball travels to the terminal station, the time mark and station mark of each station along the way stored therein are obtained, and the information such as its walking route and walking speed can be restored, which is conducive to reducing manual participation, reducing the workload of technicians, and reducing manual errors; and based on the time mark and station mark of each station, the health status of the pipeline can be evaluated.

[0079] In the embodiments of this specification, preferably, the multilayer non-metallic tube is made of one or a combination of high-density polyethylene, nylon, cross-linked polyethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyester industrial filament, glass fiber tape, steel wire, aramid tape, and polypropylene.

[0080] In some specific embodiments, the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe includes an inner lining layer and an outer protective layer;

[0081] The inner lining layer is made of cross-linked polyethylene, which is obtained by cross-linking polyethylene, and can greatly improve the performance of polyethylene, not only significantly improving the mechanical properties, environmental stress cracking resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, creep resistance and electrical properties of polyethylene; but also significantly improving the temperature resistance level; thus, it can ensure that the inner lining layer has the corrosion resistance required for contact with crude oil in the oil well pipeline.

[0082] The outer protective layer is made of one or a combination of steel wire, polyester filament, and high-density polyethylene; among them, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has excellent wear resistance, electrical insulation, toughness and cold resistance, and good chemical stability, and is resistant to corrosion by acids, alkalis and various salts; thereby, it can be ensured that the outer protective layer has the required aging resistance such as UV resistance, high and low temperature resistance, etc. when exposed to the external environment, and the strength and toughness of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe are enhanced.

[0083] In some preferred embodiments, the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1 further includes a reinforcement layer, and the reinforcement layer is arranged between the inner lining layer and the outer protective layer;

[0084] The reinforcing layer is made of one or a combination of glass fiber tape, polypropylene, and polyvinylidene fluoride to improve the pressure-bearing and pressure-resistant performance of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe, so that the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe is not easily deformed.

[0085] Each layer of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe described in the embodiments of this specification is made of non-metallic materials, so that:

[0086] (1) No interference to the signal

[0087] Metal pipes will reflect and absorb radio frequency signals or microwave signals, thereby interfering with the signals between the antenna and chip, and between the antenna and the monitoring box, affecting the communication quality and efficiency; while multi-layer non-metallic composite pipes will not interfere with the communication signals between devices.

[0088] (2) No shielding of the signal

[0089] The metal shielding effect will affect the wireless signal communication between the communication equipment and the surrounding environment, limiting the use range and communication quality of the communication equipment; while the multi-layer non-metallic composite tube will not shield the signal.

[0090] (3) No signal attenuation

[0091] The conductive attenuation effect of metal on radio frequency signals or microwave signals will reduce the transmission distance and transmission quality of wireless signals, and have a certain impact on the use of wireless communication equipment; while multi-layer non-metallic composite tubes will not cause signal attenuation.

[0092] In the embodiments of this specification, the length of the multilayer non-metallic composite pipe is 500 mm (±10%), and the inner diameter of the multilayer non-metallic composite pipe is in the range of 50 mm to 150 mm. The length and inner diameter of the multilayer non-metallic composite pipe can be designed and adjusted according to the requirements of the on-site working conditions. The multilayer non-metallic composite pipe can withstand a pressure of 0 to 32 MPa.

[0093] In some feasible embodiments, the number of the antennas 2 is 1 to 4.

[0094] When the number of antennas is greater than 1, multiple antennas can be used for system redundancy. That is, when one antenna fails to work properly due to a fault, the redundant antenna can intervene and take over the work of the faulty antenna, increasing the reliability and stability of the system's recognition of the rubber ball.

[0095] In addition, multiple antennas can work simultaneously to increase the RF power, expand the capture range, and improve the ability to identify rubber balls running at faster speeds.

[0096] In some feasible embodiments, when more than one antenna is provided, each antenna may be provided with its own identification and each antenna may be controlled to transmit radio waves in sequence according to actual application requirements.

[0097] In some feasible embodiments, the number of the antennas 2 is 2.

[0098] The number of antennas is made redundant, with one antenna serving as the main antenna and the other serving as the backup antenna, to jointly ensure the reliability of rubber ball recognition; at the same time, the installation cost problem caused by the large number of antennas can be taken into account.

[0099] Preferably, since the density of the rubber ball is greater than the density of oil or natural gas in the oil and gas pipeline, and the density of the liquid in the tap water or sewage pipeline, when the rubber ball passes through the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe, it will be in the lower half of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe. Therefore, in the embodiment of this specification, the antenna 2 is arranged in the lower half of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1, and the angle between the antenna 2 and the horizontal center line of the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe 1 is in the range of 0° to 45°. This ensures that the antenna has a good monitoring and capture effect on the rubber ball traveling to the multi-layer non-metallic composite pipe.

[0100] Further, in the embodiments of this specification, Figure 3 As shown, the monitoring box 3 includes a reader / writer 6, a data conversion unit 5, a power supply 7 and a transmission interface component (not shown in the figure).

[0101] The reader / writer 6 is used to read the ID information of the chip in the rubber ball, and write the time mark of the current time and the site mark of the current site into the chip;

[0102] The data conversion unit 5 is used to convert the ID information, the site mark and the time mark; in the embodiment of this specification, the data conversion unit 5 is a DTU (Data Transfer Unit), which is a wireless terminal device specially used to convert serial port data into IP data or convert IP data into serial port data for transmission via a wireless communication network.

[0103] The power supply 7 is used to supply power to the reader / writer 6 and the data conversion unit 5;

[0104] The transmission interface component is used to transmit the ID information, the site mark and the time mark to the server.

[0105] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this specification, the transmission interface component includes at least one or a combination of RS232 interface, RS485 interface, RJ45 interface, and 4G interface.

[0106] It has rich interface types, strong access and scalability, and can meet the needs of different types of data transmission.

[0107] In addition, in the embodiments of this specification, the reader is also integrated with an AI control unit, which can be seamlessly connected with various industrial products (such as Siemens, AB, BB, etc.) and is compatible with oilfield software system protocols;

[0108] Secondly, the AI ​​control unit can intelligently determine the period of time when the ball will not be dropped based on the time point of each oil well dropping, so that the intelligent ball dropping and receiving monitoring system 10 is in standby mode to reduce power consumption; if the ball is dropped under special circumstances, the watchdog in the AI ​​control unit will immediately wake up the system and resume work.

[0109] Furthermore, the AI ​​control unit executes AI algorithms such as the Speck algorithm (neuromorphic dynamic computing) using a brain-like neuromorphic SoC (i.e. System on Chip) system, which can achieve “no input, no power consumption” at the hardware level.

[0110] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of this specification provides an intelligent ball pitching and receiving monitoring method. Figure 4It is a step diagram of an intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring method provided in an embodiment of this specification. This specification provides the method operation steps described in the embodiment or flow chart, but more or fewer operation steps may be included based on conventional or non-creative labor. The order of steps listed in the embodiment is only one way of executing the order of many steps, and does not represent the only execution order. When the system or device product is executed in practice, it can be executed in the order of the method shown in the embodiment or the accompanying drawings or in parallel. The method is executed by the monitoring box 3 in the intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring system 10 provided by the above technical solution. The intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring system 10 can be installed on the oil and gas pipeline at the well site end (i.e., the passage site of the oil and gas pipeline to be detected) and on the oil and gas pipeline at the station site end (i.e., the terminal site of the oil and gas pipeline to be detected). The method may include:

[0111] S410: In response to the result of the antenna capturing the signal generated by the chip in the rubber ball, a current site mark and a current time mark of the pipeline are generated.

[0112] S420: Writing the current site mark and the current time mark into the chip inside the rubber ball.

[0113] S430: Reading the site labels and time labels written in the chip in the rubber ball.

[0114] That is, read the current site mark and current time mark, as well as the historical site mark and historical time mark.

[0115] S440: Feedback each site mark and each time mark to the server, so that the server analyzes each site mark and each time mark to obtain a health assessment result of the pipeline.

[0116] For example, if there are 9 well sites and 1 station site along a certain section of the oil and gas pipeline, and each of the 9 well sites and the 1 station site is equipped with an intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring system, there are 10 intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring systems in total, and the numbers of the intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring systems and the stations are recorded from 1 to 10. Then, the health assessment of the part of the pipeline between any two stations can be performed based on the intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring systems installed at any two stations. For example, the health assessment of the oil and gas pipeline between stations 3 and 5 can be performed based on the labeled data corresponding to the No. 3 intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring system and the labeled data corresponding to the No. 5 intelligent ball-dropping and receiving monitoring system.

[0117] It can be understood that in the embodiments of this specification, any station in the pipeline can act as both the ball throwing end and the ball receiving end of the rubber ball of the intelligent ball throwing and receiving monitoring system. For example, when the health assessment of the pipeline between station 3 and station 5 is performed, station 3 acts as the ball throwing end of the rubber ball; and when the health assessment of the pipeline between station 1 and station 3 is performed, station 3 acts as the ball receiving end of the rubber ball.

[0118] The first station in this section of the oil and gas pipeline (i.e., station No. 1) generally acts as the ball throwing end in this section. However, in the health assessment of some other sections that intersect with this section, it can be used as the ball receiving end. Similarly, the terminal station in this section (i.e., station No. 10) acts as the ball receiving end in this section and can be used as the ball throwing end in the health assessment of other sections.

[0119] The above-mentioned intelligent ball-casting and ball-collecting monitoring method provided in the embodiments of this specification is described by taking oil and gas pipelines as an example. Those skilled in the art can understand that when it is applied to water pipes, sewage pipes or other types of pipeline networks, its specific implementation method and the effects obtained are the same or similar.

[0120] Specifically, in step S440, the server may analyze and obtain the health assessment result of the pipeline according to each site mark and each time mark, and the health assessment result may be further:

[0121] According to the markings of each station, the working condition information of the rubber ball passing through the pipeline is determined; the working condition information at least includes the length of each pipe section of the pipeline, the pressure, temperature, flow rate and other information in the pipeline;

[0122] Furthermore, based on the markings of each site, each time marking and the operating condition information, the health assessment result of the passing pipeline is obtained.

[0123] For example, according to each time mark and the length of each pipe section, the running speed of the rubber ball in each pipe section of the pipeline can be calculated;

[0124] Then, the "intestinal obstruction" situation in the pipe section is analyzed according to the running speed and the working condition information of the pipe section to obtain the health assessment result.

[0125] In some preferred embodiments, before S320: writing the current site mark and the current time mark into the chip in the rubber ball, the method further includes:

[0126] Read the ID information of the chip inside the rubber ball;

[0127] The ID information is fed back to the server so that the server can verify the legitimacy of the identity of the chip based on the ID information; that is, to verify whether the ID information is legal. Each rubber ball legally put into the pipeline has its chip ID information recorded in the information record table at the server. If the ID information of a chip is not included in the information record table, the chip is verified to be illegal.

[0128] Receiving the verification result fed back by the server;

[0129] If the verification result is legal, the current site mark and the current time mark are written into the chip in the rubber ball;

[0130] If the verification result is illegal, writing to the chip inside the rubber ball is rejected.

[0131] Thus, information leakage is avoided.

[0132] An intelligent ball-dropping and -collecting monitoring method provided in the embodiments of the present specification can automatically identify the rubber ball in the pipeline, and write the time mark and the site mark after the identity verification is passed; and by obtaining the time mark and the site mark of each site stored therein, the information such as the walking route and the walking speed can be restored, and then the health status of the pipeline can be evaluated, which greatly reduces the workload of technicians and improves work efficiency; and is conducive to reducing manual errors and improving the reliability of pipeline health status analysis.

[0133] Based on the above-mentioned intelligent pitching and receiving ball monitoring method, the embodiment of this specification also provides a corresponding intelligent pitching and receiving ball monitoring device. The device may include a system (including a distributed system), software (application), module, component, server, client, etc. that uses the method described in the embodiment of this specification and is combined with the necessary implementation hardware. Based on the same innovative concept, the device in one or more embodiments provided in the embodiment of this specification is as described in the following embodiments. Since the implementation scheme of the device to solve the problem is similar to the method, the implementation of the specific device in the embodiment of this specification can refer to the implementation of the aforementioned method, and the repetitions will not be repeated. As used below, the term "unit" or "module" can be a combination of software and / or hardware that implements predetermined functions. Although the device described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, the implementation of hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and conceived.

[0134] like Figure 5 As shown, the intelligent ball pitching and receiving monitoring device may include:

[0135] A generating module 51 is used to generate a current station mark and a current time mark of the pipeline in response to the result of the antenna capturing the signal generated by the chip in the rubber ball;
