Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a detection device, in particular to a portable rural water supply pipe network leakage measurement device and a measurement method. Background Art

[0002] As an important public service project, rural drinking water supply directly affects the quality of life of the majority of villagers. Pipeline leakage is the biggest problem in rural drinking water safety management. The rural water supply network is wide and the pipelines are long. Pipeline leakage leads to serious economic losses. Therefore, how to quickly and conveniently find the leakage location of the rural water supply network and reduce the leakage rate is an urgent issue to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned background technology and provide a rural water supply network leakage measurement device and detection method, which can quickly find the leakage location of the water supply network, help reduce leakage losses and save water resources.

[0004] The technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0005] A method for measuring leakage in a rural water supply network is carried out according to the following steps:

[0006] 1. Install the pipe network leakage measurement device

[0007] Install an external clamp-on remote transmission ultrasonic pipeline flowmeter at the water inlet of the previous level pipeline. The flowmeter has a data remote transmission function and can transmit flow data by wireless transmission. Install two external clamp-on ultrasonic pipeline flowmeters at the pipeline of this level. The two external clamp-on ultrasonic pipeline flowmeters are respectively installed at the water inlet of the pipeline of this level and the water inlet of the pipeline of the previous level after the pipeline of this level is branched.

[0008] 2. Simultaneously measure the flow of three control sections

[0009] Since the flow in the water supply network changes in real time, it is necessary to simultaneously obtain the flow data of three control sections (the water inlet of the previous level pipeline, the water inlet of the current level pipeline, and the water inlet of the previous level pipeline after the branch of the current level pipeline); therefore, the above-mentioned pipe network leakage measurement device is used to simultaneously measure the water inlet flow Q of the previous level pipeline, the water inlet flow Q1 of the current level pipeline, and the water inlet flow Q of the previous level pipeline after the branch of the current level pipeline 1-2 .

[0010] 3. Calculate the relationship between each flow

[0011] Theoretically, the sum of the flow rates of each pipeline at this level drawn from the previous pipeline should be equal to the input flow rate of the water inlet of the previous pipeline, that is, Q = Q1 + Q 1-2In fact, a certain amount of leakage is allowed. The network leakage rate threshold pptl and network leakage volume threshold ppvl are set. If the input flow rate of the previous level pipeline inlet minus the sum of the flow rates of each pipeline at this level is less than the set network leakage threshold, and the ratio of the sum of the flow rates of each pipeline at this level to the input flow rate of the previous level pipeline inlet is less than the network leakage rate threshold, that is, Q-(Q1+Q 1-2 )≤ppvl and (Q1+Q 1-2 ) / Q*100%≤pptl, the pipeline section is judged to be in good working condition, otherwise it needs maintenance;

[0012] 4. Determine the working conditions of the remaining pipelines in this level in turn

[0013] According to the above method, the remaining pipelines of the water supply network are tested in turn to determine the working conditions of the entire water supply network pipelines.

[0014] A portable rural water supply network leakage measurement device, characterized in that: the device includes at least one external clamp-on remote ultrasonic pipe flow meter, which has a data remote transmission function; two external clamp-on ultrasonic pipe flow meters; a control module with data storage, calculation and judgment functions; the control module is connected to the external clamp-on remote ultrasonic pipe flow meter through a wireless transmission component, and is respectively connected to the two external clamp-on ultrasonic pipe flow meters and the display screen through data lines; a power module equipped with a battery; and a display screen that can display the flow size and leakage judgment results.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the provided rural water supply network leakage measurement method can quickly find the leakage location of the network, reduce the economic losses caused by the loss of tap water, and save water resources; the provided rural water supply network leakage measurement device is small in size, easy to carry, and has low equipment cost.

[0026] (2) Each pipeline at the same level leads to the first pipeline at the next lower level, the second pipeline at the next lower level, and so on to the nth pipeline at the next lower level.

[0027] The rural water supply network leakage measurement method described in the present invention is further described as follows.

[0041] In other words: the sum of the flow rate of the pipeline at this level and the flow rate of the previous pipeline after the branch of the pipeline at this level should be equal to the input flow rate of the previous pipeline; when the sum of the flow rate of the pipeline at this level and the flow rate of the previous pipeline after the branch of the pipeline at this level is less than the input flow rate of the previous pipeline, it means that there is a leak in the pipeline at this level and it needs to be repaired.
