[0044] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 7As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fire hydrant, including: a fire hydrant body 100 and a smart monitoring system 200. The fire hydrant body 100 is provided with an internal cavity 110, a large water outlet 120 and two small water outlets 130; the large water outlet 120 and the small water outlet 130 are both connected to the internal cavity 110, and the small water outlet 130 is connected to a cover 140.

[0046] The smart monitoring system 200 includes: a smart cover 210, a vibration monitoring component 220 and a valve core 231 component 230. Among them:

[0047] The smart cover 210 includes an upper shell 211, a lower shell 212 connected to the upper shell 211, and a smart component; the top of the lower shell 212 is provided with a top cover 2121, and the bottom is sealed and connected to the large water outlet 120 of the fire hydrant 1000. The top cover 2121 separates the fire hydrant 1000 from the smart component to prevent the smart component from malfunctioning due to water ingress. In some embodiments, the connection end of the lower shell 212 is provided with a thread, which matches the thread diameter of the large water outlet 120 of the fire hydrant 1000, and a sealing ring 2122 is installed in the lower shell 212 to achieve a sealed connection between the smart cover 210 and the large water outlet 120 of the fire hydrant 1000. This can prevent water ingress caused by long-term immersion of water inside the fire hydrant 1000. The upper housing 211 is provided with a mounting cavity for mounting the smart component; the smart component includes a PCB board 213, a positioning system 214 for obtaining the geographical location of the fire hydrant 1000, and a battery 215 for providing power; the positioning system 214 is electrically connected to the top of the PCB board 213 (for example, using a high-precision GPS antenna), and the battery 215 is electrically connected to the bottom of the PCB board 213. In some embodiments, the smart component also includes a first support member 216 and a second support member 217 fixedly connected to the upper housing, the first support member 216 is used to mount the positioning system 214, and the second support member 217 is used to mount the battery 215. The PCB board 213 also integrates an ADC module and a storage chip of a single-chip microcomputer.

[0048] The vibration monitoring assembly 220 includes two intermediate connecting parts 221 and a vibration sensor 222 connected between the two intermediate connecting parts 221; the vibration sensor 222 is used to collect the vibration signal of the fire hydrant 1000, and the vibration sensor 222 is electrically connected to the PCB board 213. The end of the intermediate connecting part 221 is connected to the fire hydrant 1000.

[0049] The valve core 231 assembly 230 includes a valve core 231 and a pressure sensor 232 disposed on the valve core 231. The pressure sensor 232 is used to monitor the water pressure signal of the underground water network of the fire hydrant 1000. The pressure sensor 232 is electrically connected to the PCB board 213; that is, the water pressure of the municipal pipe network can be collected through the pressure sensor 232. In some possible implementations, a through hole is opened on the valve core 231, and a mounting interface matching the pressure sensor 232 is installed in the through hole. The pressure sensor 232 is installed at the mounting interface so that the water of the water administration pipe network contacts the sensing part of the pressure sensor 232 to measure the water pressure in the municipal pipe network.

[0050] The end of the middle connection part 221 of the smart monitoring system 200 is connected to the cover 140 ; ​​the smart cover 210 of the smart monitoring system 200 is sealed and connected to the large water outlet 120 ; the vibration monitoring component 220 and the valve core 231 component 230 are arranged in the internal cavity 110 .

[0051] The present application determines the working condition of the fire hydrant 1000 as normal, water discharge, impact or water theft through water pressure signal and vibration signal. The specific classification is as follows:

[0052] When the fire hydrant 1000 is in a normal state (valve not opened): the water pressure of the underground pipe network is a static fixed value of water pressure (the water pressure of each fire hydrant 1000 in a normal state is basically fixed, basically between 0.2-0.35 MPa).

[0053] When the fire hydrant 1000 is in the water discharge state (valve open): the fire hydrant 1000 starts to discharge water, and the water pressure in the fire hydrant 1000 will have a small but obvious change in the static fixed value of the water pressure, and the vibration sensor 222 will have a signal feedback. In one embodiment, a fire hydrant 1000 is monitored. When the fire hydrant 1000 is in a normal state: its normal state is in a fixed water pressure of 0.25-0.26 MPa. When the fire hydrant 1000 is in the water discharge state (valve open): the water pressure value will become 0.30-0.32 MPa (slightly different depending on the size of the valve opening).

[0054] When the fire hydrant 1000 is in a collision state or a water theft state: the water pressure is a static fixed value and the water pressure does not change; and the vibration sensor 222 has a feedback signal. And through the difference in the vibration sensor 222 signal (single vibration feedback and continuous periodic vibration feedback correspond to different alarm conditions. For example, a single vibration feedback collision alarm condition. Continuous periodic vibration feedback water theft alarm condition) it can be fed back whether it is in a collision state or a water theft state.

[0055] The specific subdivision working conditions will be determined in the system based on the duration of the feedback signal from the vibration sensor 222 and the analysis and basis of our large amount of experimental data.

[0056] Therefore, based on whether the water pressure changes and whether the vibration sensor 222 has signal feedback or the information of the vibration sensor 222 signal feedback, it can be determined whether the fire hydrant 1000 is in a normal state, a water discharge state, a collision state or a water theft state.

[0057] This embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0058] 1. This embodiment can monitor whether the water pressure of the underground water network of the fire hydrant 1000 is normal and the working condition of the fire hydrant 1000 (including normal, water discharge, collision, theft, etc.) according to the water pressure signal and the vibration signal.

[0059] 2. Compared with replacing the entire fire hydrant 1000, during installation, this embodiment only needs to replace the cover of the largest water outlet 120 with the smart cover 210, place the sensor inside the fire hydrant 1000, and replace the valve core 231 against the water outlet. The installation is simple, the construction work is small, and the cost is low. In addition, there are no exposed parts, which ensures that the appearance of the existing fire hydrant 1000 on the market does not change.

[0060] 3. In this embodiment, the current status of the fire hydrant 1000 can be queried through a paging call on the server to ensure the validity and real-time nature of the data; data can also be uploaded at a scheduled time.

[0061] 4. This embodiment is provided with a positioning system 214 disposed on the top of the PCB board 213, which can monitor the geographical location of the fire hydrant 1000 in real time, and can quickly find the available fire hydrant 1000 on the map through network data.

[0062] 5. When a water thief opens the small water outlet 130 of the fire hydrant 1000 to steal water, the middle connection part 221 will vibrate, thereby triggering the vibration sensor 222. If the large water outlet 120 of the fire hydrant 1000 is opened, the vibration sensor 222 will be directly triggered because it is directly connected to the smart cover 210. Therefore, when the smart component receives the vibration signal to trigger the alarm, it will be sent in time to remind the monitoring personnel that there is water theft. This embodiment adopts a mechanical connection method, which can simultaneously detect the water theft signals of the two small water outlets 130 and one large water outlet 120 of the fire hydrant 1000.

[0063] In summary, this application has small construction volume, low cost, long working time, stable data detection, and accurate working condition judgment.

[0064] Furthermore, the vibration monitoring assembly 220 also includes a magnetic connection part 223 disposed at the end of the intermediate connection part 221, and the intermediate connection part 221 is fixed to the inside of the cover 140 of the small water outlet 130 of the fire hydrant 1000 by adsorption through the magnetic connection part 223; the intermediate connection part 221 is made of metal. Specifically, this embodiment realizes a detachable connection between the intermediate connection part 221 and the cover 140, which is convenient for opening the cover 140 quickly and without causing damage to other components when the fire hydrant 1000 is put into use, and can also monitor whether someone steals water.

[0065] Furthermore, a Bluetooth module for data transmission is integrated on the PCB board 213. In this way, the Bluetooth module can be directly connected to the mobile phone APP, and the working parameters such as the data upload and transmission frequency, initialization parameters, water pressure threshold, detection frequency, detection sensitivity, and device number of the smart fire hydrant 1000 can be set through the mobile phone APP.

[0066] Furthermore, a communication module is integrated on the PCB board 213, and the communication module communicates with the cloud server. The communication module is used to communicate with the cloud server to realize data interaction. In this way, the monitored data can be uploaded regularly. Compared with devices that can only upload fixed data, this device can also page the smart fire hydrant 1000 at any time through the cloud server or mobile phone APP. After paging, it will actively send data, which can truly replace manual inspections and realize remote management and monitoring of the fire hydrant 1000, effectively improving the necessity and real-time nature of the data.

[0067] Furthermore, the PCB board 213 is also integrated with an analog-to-digital conversion module ADC for monitoring the voltage of the battery 215. The analog-to-digital conversion module ADC can monitor the voltage of the battery 215, and by detecting the voltage of the battery 215, the usage and service life of the battery 215 can be reflected.

[0068] Furthermore, the upper shell and the lower shell are made of high-strength nylon. Compared with traditional engineering plastics, high-strength nylon materials are more wear-resistant and have better toughness. Considering the wear and tear during the installation of the fire hydrant 1000 and the damage to the present invention caused by the use of the fire hydrant 1000 wrench, the upper shell and the lower shell made of high-strength nylon can effectively extend the service life of the present invention and expand the use conditions of the present invention, ensuring the safety of internal components.

[0069] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the top cover 2121, and a waterproof aviation plug 218 is installed in the through hole. In this way, the wires of the vibration sensor 222 and the pressure sensor 232 pass through the waterproof aviation plug 218 on the top cover 2121 and are electrically connected to the PCB board 213. This embodiment effectively avoids water ingress into the smart cover 210 caused by long-term immersion due to water accumulation inside the fire hydrant 1000.

[0070] Furthermore, the present invention also has a built-in storage function for power-off protection, which can effectively store recent device data in the event of device abnormality or power failure, thereby realizing data protection and backup functions.

[0071] The present invention further provides an intelligent monitoring method, which uses the fire hydrant 1000 in any of the above embodiments for monitoring; the steps include:

[0072] Data collection, through the fire hydrant data collection, the collected data is converted into measurement values ​​through the numerical conversion formula; the collected data includes geographic location data, water pressure data, vibration data and battery 215 voltage data. Since the pressure sensor 232, vibration sensor 222, etc. output analog quantities, they are read through the ADC module of the single-chip microcomputer on the PCB board 213. Then the ADC module of the single-chip microcomputer converts the collected ADC values ​​into corresponding water pressure measurement values, vibration measurement values, battery 215 voltage measurement values, etc. through the numerical conversion formula.

[0073] Estimated value calculation, the measured value is converted into an estimated value through a filtering algorithm. Because: the water pressure measured by the pressure sensor 232 will change due to the water pressure fluctuation when the fire hydrant 1000 releases water and the pressure fluctuation of the municipal pipe network when the water is used. In addition, there will be errors in the pressure sensor 232 itself and the acquisition of the single-chip ADC module. Similarly, there are errors in the acquisition of geographic location data, vibration signal acquisition, and battery 215 voltage signal acquisition. If the measurement data is inaccurate, it may cause firefighters to misjudge the water pressure state in the fire hydrant 1000 when they encounter a fire and need water. Seriously, it may lead to the wrong selection of the fire hydrant 1000, and the pressure is too low or even no water is available, resulting in delays. It can be seen that the accuracy of the measurement of the fire hydrant 1000 pressure sensor 232, the accuracy of the battery 215 voltage measurement, the accuracy of the fire hydrant 1000 position positioning measurement, and the accuracy of the vibration sensor 222 measurement are all crucial. After analysis, the reason for these data errors is the existence of noise disturbance. Therefore, the measured value is converted into an estimated value through a filtering algorithm. Thereby improving the accuracy of the data.

[0074] See also Figure 6 , the workflow of this application is as follows:

[0075] The device (the fire hydrant cover) is powered on, relevant parameters are configured, the device wakes up, and it is determined whether it is a scheduled wake-up. If it is a scheduled wake-up, data is collected and the maximum likelihood finite impulse response filter algorithm is called for calculation, and the device is sent to the server and goes into sleep mode. If it is not a scheduled wake-up, it is determined whether it is a vibration wake-up. If it is a vibration wake-up, the impact or water theft alarm is determined based on the number of vibrations and sent to the server, and then data is collected and the maximum likelihood finite impulse response filter algorithm is called for calculation, and the device is sent to the server and goes into sleep mode. If it is not a vibration wake-up, it is determined whether it is a wake-up due to low water pressure. If it is a wake-up due to low water pressure, the impact or water theft alarm is determined based on the number of vibrations and sent to the server, and then data is collected and the maximum likelihood finite impulse response filter algorithm is called for calculation, and the device is sent to the server and goes into sleep mode. If it is not a wake-up due to low water pressure, data is directly collected and the maximum likelihood finite impulse response filter algorithm is called for calculation, and the device is sent to the server and goes into sleep mode.

[0076] See also Figure 7 , the workflow of the maximum likelihood finite impulse response filter algorithm calculation is as follows:

[0077] Collect data at N time nodes, including water pressure data, voltage data, and GPS positioning data;

[0078] Given the initial data value: the state transfer matrix A at time node m m , the observation matrix C at time node m m , the noise transition matrix G at time node m m , process noise covariance Q m , observation noise covariance R m , N, select batch [m, α];

[0079] Execute the initialization batch calculation to get the initial value of the iteration part: the estimated value at time node α

[0080] Let i = α + 1 to perform the iterative calculation part and calculate the estimated value at time node i

[0081] Determine whether i=n is true: If true, get the estimated value of the required time node n, then At this point, the iteration ends and n=n+1; if it does not hold, then i=i+1

[0082] (i.e. the time node moves forward), and then executes the iterative calculation part to calculate the estimated value at time node i

[0083] See also Figure 7 , the maximum likelihood finite impulse response filter algorithm is as follows:

[0084] 1. In the storage chip carried by the smart fire hydrant, the estimated values ​​of water pressure, vibration, battery voltage, and coordinate position calculated by the filter are set as The specific implementation of the maximum likelihood finite impulse response filter is as follows, and the following state space model is defined as:

[0085] x n =A n x n-1 +G n w n -------Formula 1

[0086] y n =C n x n +v n ----------Formula 2

[0088] 2. An extended state space model similar to the original model (i.e., Formula 1 and Formula 2) on the interval [m=n-N+1,n] is constructed as follows, where N is the range length; m and n are both time nodes:

[0089] X n,m =A n,m x m-1 +G n,m Wn,m -------------Formula 1.1

[0090] Y n,m =C n,m x m-1 +L n,m W n,m +V n,m -------Formula 2.1

[0091] In formula 1.1 and formula 2.1: X n,m , W n,m , Y n,m 、V n,m are all extended vectors, i.e., vectors expanded over the time range [m, n];

[0092] x m-1 is the state value at time m-1, which is artificially given; A n,m , G n,m , C n,m , L n,m are all extended matrices, where:

[0093]

[0094] In Formula 3, Formula 4, Formula 5 and Formula 6: n, m are time nodes; generally n≥m, and when n=m,

[0095] is a diagonal matrix;

[0096] 3. Estimated value It can be calculated by the following algorithm:

[0112] After testing, the filtering algorithm of the present application can judge various working conditions such as normal, water release, impact, damage, etc. according to the data of vibration sensor and water pressure sensor. After experimental comparison of data, the accuracy of working condition judgment is as high as 98%.

[0113] In actual operation, the water pressure and positioning data collected by the sensor are recorded as the observation value y n The water pressure and positioning data calculated by the algorithm are recorded as estimated values

[0114] When the fire hydrant is powered on, current fluctuations (battery voltage, pressure sensor), peak current (battery voltage, pressure sensor), weather and other factors (GPS) will produce abnormal data with large errors. The use of this filtering algorithm can significantly reduce the data abnormality rate, improve the accuracy of equipment detection, and ensure the effective measurement of the water pressure of the municipal pipe network connected to the fire hydrant. The fire hydrant can accurately inform firefighters of the internal water pressure of the pipe network to prevent the situation where the pipe network pressure is insufficient when water is needed due to errors in collecting pressure. The estimated values ​​of water pressure and positioning will be used as a more accurate value for firefighters to refer to.
