Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid level flow monitoring instruments, and in particular relates to an urban waterlogging water level monitoring instrument. Background Art
[0002] The urban waterlogging water level monitor is a device used to monitor the water level and its changes in urban waterlogging. Its main purpose is to provide scientific data support for urban waterlogging prevention and control, ensure timely response measures, and reduce the impact of waterlogging on urban life and transportation. At present, urban waterlogging water level monitoring mainly relies on fixed-point distributed water level monitors and intelligent floating boats with bottom sonar devices. Fixed-point distributed water level monitors are usually installed at fixed locations and measure water level data through sensors. However, this method has the problem of limited distribution density, cannot be dynamically moved for monitoring, and can only provide water level information at specific points, which is difficult to fully reflect the waterlogging situation. The method of intelligent floating boats with bottom sonar devices is mainly used for water level monitoring in rivers or lakes. The intelligent floating boat floats on the water surface and measures the water depth through the sonar device at the bottom. However, this method is only applicable to environments with stable water surfaces and cannot be effectively applied to urban waterlogging monitoring. When urban waterlogging occurs, the intelligent floating boat is easily affected by the waves caused by driving and pedestrian factors, causing the intelligent floating boat to drift with the waves, unable to monitor at fixed points, and with poor detection accuracy. In addition, the intelligent floating boat is small in size and easy to lose, resulting in a significant increase in monitoring costs.
[0003] Common problems and deficiencies of existing technologies. Limited distribution density: The distribution density of fixed-point water level monitors is limited, and dynamic mobile monitoring is not possible. They can only provide water level information at fixed points and cannot fully reflect the waterlogging situation. Insufficient dynamic monitoring capabilities: Existing technologies cannot perform real-time monitoring at sudden accident points and lack dynamic monitoring capabilities. Insufficient detection of water flow speed and direction: Most existing technologies can only measure water levels, but cannot detect water flow speed and direction at the same time, resulting in incomplete monitoring data. Applicable environmental restrictions: The method of using smart floating boats in conjunction with bottom sonar devices is only applicable to areas with stable water surfaces such as rivers or lakes, and is not suitable for urban waterlogging monitoring. Smart floating boats are prone to drifting with the flow during urban waterlogging, resulting in the inability to monitor at fixed points and poor detection accuracy. High monitoring costs: Smart floating boats are easy to lose, resulting in a significant increase in monitoring costs. Because ordinary depth sensors are not sensitive enough when the depth of urban waterlogging is limited, the monitoring effect is poor.
[0004] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need for a high-precision water level monitor that can realize dynamic mobile monitoring, real-time detection of water flow speed and direction, and is suitable for urban waterlogging environments, so as to improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of urban waterlogging monitoring.

Figure 3 As shown, a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic receiving antenna 83 is installed on the upper side of the water vapor channel 55, and a communication relationship is established between the ship-mounted electromagnetic transmitting module 82 and the vehicle-mounted electromagnetic receiving antenna 83 through electromagnetic waves.
[0030] An electromagnetic wave transceiver module 8 is installed on each of the intelligent floating boat 2 and the underwater robot to ensure that the signal can be transmitted bidirectionally. The intelligent floating boat 2 and the underwater robot transmit electromagnetic wave signals in turn and record the received data (signal strength, phase, arrival time, etc.). The direction of the intelligent floating boat 2 relative to the underwater robot is calculated by an algorithm using the phase difference, RSSI and arrival time difference of the received signal.
[0031] Transmitter and receiver: at least one electromagnetic wave transmitter is installed on the intelligent floating boat 2. At least one electromagnetic wave receiver is installed on the underwater robot. Multi-antenna array: a multi-antenna array (at least two antennas) is installed on the underwater robot, with a known spacing between the antennas. The antenna array can determine the direction of the signal source by the phase difference of the received signal. The direction between the intelligent floating boat 2 and the underwater robot is determined by phase difference measurement, which utilizes the phase change of the signal when it arrives at the receiver at different locations. By comparing the phase of the signal received by the receiver, the direction of the signal source can be determined.
[0032] Specifically, antenna array design: install two antennas with a distance d between them on the underwater robot, select a suitable signal frequency so that the wavelength λ and the antenna spacing d meet the measurement requirements. Phase measurement: the intelligent floating ship transmits a continuous wave signal, the two antennas of the underwater robot receive the signal, and measure the phase difference. Direction calculation: according to the measured phase difference △ϕ, the incident angle θ is calculated using the above formula. The measurement steps are as follows.
[0033] 1. Measurement process: Signal transmission: The transmitter on the smart floating boat transmits a continuous wave (CW) signal or a sine wave signal. Signal reception: Multiple antennas on the underwater robot simultaneously receive signals from the smart floating boat. Phase difference measurement: The receiver on the underwater robot measures the phase of the signal received by each antenna. The difference between the phases of the signals received by each antenna is calculated.
[0034] 2. Calculate the direction (1) Geometric relationship: Assume that the distance between the two antennas is d, the wavelength of the received signal is λ, and the signal incident angle is θ.
[0035] The phase difference is given by: Δϕ=λ2πdsin(θ) / λ By measuring the phase difference △ϕ, the signal incident angle θ can be calculated: θ=arcsin(λΔϕ / 2πd) (2) Direction calculation: The calculated incident angle θ is the direction angle of the intelligent floating ship relative to the underwater robot.
[0036] 3. Data processing: Signal processing: Filter the received signal to remove noise and interference. Average multiple measurements to reduce the impact of random errors. Direction calculation: Use a computer or embedded system to process the phase difference data and calculate the relative direction of the smart floating ship.
[0037] Through the above method, the phase difference measurement can be used to determine the direction of the intelligent floating ship relative to the underwater robot. This method has high measurement accuracy and is suitable for real-time direction measurement in a dynamic environment. Advantages: The phase difference measurement method has high accuracy and is particularly suitable for short-distance measurement. Real-time measurement and direction calculation can be achieved.
[0038] When the above solution is used, the underwater robot 1 and the intelligent floating boat 2 usually have a tilted angle phenomenon. In order to improve the accuracy of angle detection, an auxiliary detection mechanism 9 can be provided in the middle of the convex ball 64. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the auxiliary detection mechanism 9 includes a horizontal angle meter 91, a diameter groove 92, a diameter tube 93, a sealing sleeve 94 and a horizontal axis 95. The diameter groove 92 is provided in the middle of the convex ball 64, and the sealing sleeve 94 is provided at the bottom of the diameter groove 92 and at the center of the sealing cover plate 37. The horizontal axis 95 is sealed and installed in the sealing sleeve 94. The diameter tube 93 is fixed upward to the horizontal axis 95, and the traction tube 44 is sealed in the inner cavity of the diameter tube 93. At the same time, a vertical angle meter 96 is installed in the inner cavity on the left or right side of the convex ball 64, and the input shaft of the vertical angle meter 96 is connected to the end shaft of the horizontal axis 95. The controller determines the inclination angle between the underwater robot 1 and the intelligent floating ship 2 by detecting the rotation data of the vertical angle meter 96. A horizontal angle meter 91 is installed on the rotating shaft of the rotary drive motor 34, and the controller determines the relative direction of the underwater robot 1 and the intelligent floating ship 2 by detecting the data of the horizontal angle meter 91. The auxiliary detection mechanism improves the measurement accuracy of the system in an inclined environment through horizontal and vertical inclinometers, ensuring the stable operation of intelligent floating vessels and underwater robots in complex waters.
[0039] Based on the above scheme, the underwater robot 1 can be used to pull the intelligent floating boat 2 to prevent the intelligent floating boat 2 from being impacted by the water flow and moving randomly, which causes the intelligent floating boat 2 to fail to detect along the designated route, and ensures that the intelligent floating boat 2 will not be lost. After the air cavity in the water-gas channel 55 is inflated by the retractable tube mechanism 4, the water in the water-gas channel 55 is pressed out, so that the underwater robot 1 contains more gas. With the help of the pulling effect of the retractable tube mechanism 4, the underwater robot 1 moves toward the intelligent floating boat 2, and the intelligent floating boat 2 drives the underwater robot 1 to walk on the water surface until it moves to the target detection position, so as to avoid the underwater robot 1 encountering an obstacle or gap that cannot be crossed, which causes the detection to fail to be launched smoothly. A demagnetizing electromagnet 101 may also be installed at the bottom of the sealing cover plate 37, and a stainless steel ring 102 may be fixed around the bottom of the cover shell 61. When the underwater robot 1 and the intelligent floating boat 2 are close to each other, the demagnetizing electromagnet 101 attracts the stainless steel ring 102, or the demagnetizing electromagnet 101 is controlled by a controller so that the demagnetizing electromagnet 101 and the stainless steel ring 102 lose their attraction.
[0040] To install GPS on the smart floating boat and the positioning system on the underwater robot, and combine it with the positioning data of the smart floating boat on the water surface, calculate the water depth, water flow speed and direction of the specific location of the city, and mark it on the city map, you can follow the following steps: 1.GPS receiver: installed on the smart floating boat, used to obtain the precise geographic location (latitude, longitude and altitude) of the smart floating boat. Wireless communication module: used to transmit GPS data to the ground station or other equipment.
[0041] The position of the underwater robot is determined according to the above electromagnetic wave signals. The GPS receiver of the intelligent floating boat obtains the geographic location data in real time and transmits it to the ground station or storage device. The position information of the underwater robot relative to the intelligent floating boat, data integration: Integrate the GPS data of the intelligent floating boat and the positioning data of the underwater robot to determine the precise geographic location of the underwater robot in the specific location of the city, and record the data of water depth, water flow speed and direction. Data conversion and annotation: Convert the measured water depth, water flow speed and direction data into a format compatible with the geographic information system (GIS), and use GIS software to annotate these data on the city map to form a visual underwater environment map.
[0042] 2. Data import into GIS: Import the measured geographic location, water depth, water flow speed and direction data into GIS software, ensure data format compatibility, and perform necessary coordinate conversion. Data annotation: Mark the location of each measurement point on the map; use different colors or symbols to represent different water depths; use arrows or other symbols to represent the direction and speed of water flow. Generate visual maps: Generate visual maps of underwater environments according to requirements, which may include depth contour maps, water flow speed distribution maps, etc.; export the generated maps to common image formats (such as PNG, JPEG) or GIS formats (such as Shapefile, GeoJSON).
[0043] Advantages: GPS and sonar combined can provide high-precision location and depth measurement; can monitor and record data in real time, suitable for dynamic environments; using GIS software can intuitively display measurement results, which is helpful for analysis and decision-making. Through the above steps, comprehensive monitoring of the urban underwater environment can be achieved, and the measurement results can be intuitively displayed on the city map, providing important reference for urban planning, environmental monitoring, etc.
[0044] Based on the above scheme, when the urban flood water level monitor is used, the underwater robot and the intelligent floating boat are first installed, and the two are connected through the retractable tube mechanism to ensure that the components such as the rotation adjustment mechanism, the inflation and exhaust mechanism, and the spherical surface docking mechanism are intact and functional tests are performed. The GPS positioning module and the wireless transceiver module are installed and checked to ensure that the signal is normal. Then the GPS receiver is started to obtain the initial geographical location of the intelligent floating boat and transmit it to the ground station through the wireless communication module. The electromagnetic wave phase difference measurement technology is used to calibrate the initial direction and position of the intelligent floating boat and the underwater robot to ensure that the equipment starts monitoring in the correct position and direction. Then the walking drive motor is started to make the underwater robot enter the water along the specified path through the sprocket group, and the retractable tube mechanism is used to control the depth and position of the underwater robot to ensure that it operates stably in the target waters. Real-time monitoring and data collection: adjust the position and direction of the underwater robot according to environmental changes to improve the monitoring coverage. Start the inflation and exhaust mechanism to adjust the buoyancy of the underwater robot to adapt it to different areas for detection. Using the positioning and wireless transceiver modules, the real-time monitoring data is transmitted to the ground station, including information such as water depth, water flow speed and direction. The ground station receives and processes the data, and displays it visually through GIS software to generate a city underwater environment map to provide a basis for analysis and decision-making. You can choose to use auxiliary detection mechanisms, use horizontal angle meters and vertical angle meters to detect the inclination angle between the underwater robot and the intelligent floating boat to ensure the stability of the equipment in complex waters. According to the detection data, the position and direction of the underwater robot and the intelligent floating boat are adjusted in time to improve the monitoring accuracy. Continuous monitoring and data integration: Carry out continuous real-time monitoring to ensure the continuity and reliability of data, regularly integrate the GPS positioning data of the intelligent floating boat and the positioning data of the underwater robot, generate a comprehensive urban underwater environment monitoring report, and support urban planning and waterlogging prevention and control. After completing the monitoring task, the underwater robot and the intelligent floating boat are recovered to the ground for inspection and maintenance, and the necessary maintenance and calibration of the equipment are carried out to ensure performance and accuracy when used next time. Through the above specific implementation steps, the monitor can efficiently and stably monitor urban waterlogging, provide high-precision real-time data support, ensure the reliable operation of the equipment in various water environments, and provide a scientific basis for urban planning and waterlogging prevention and control.
