[0077] Example 5

[0078] This embodiment provides a method for monitoring water usage of underground fire hydrants based on any one of the embodiments 1-4. The method is as follows:

[0079] The electromagnetic water meter is also equipped with a central processing module, a pressure collection module, a flow collection module and an abnormal alarm module;

[0080] The pressure acquisition module, flow acquisition module, abnormal alarm module, positioning module and communication module can communicate with the central processing module respectively;

[0081] The pressure acquisition module collects the aforementioned pressure data of the water outlet Ⅰ06 and transmits it to the central processing module;

[0082] The flow collection module collects the aforementioned water outflow flow data flowing out of the underground fire hydrant from the water outlet Ⅰ06, and makes the water outflow flow data be the water outflow flow data Ⅰ, and transmits it to the central processing module;

[0083] The positioning module collects the positioning information data of the underground fire hydrant and transmits it to the central processing module;

[0084] The central processing module transmits the pressure data, water flow data and positioning information data to the external background integrated management system through the communication module;

[0085] The central processing module also determines the operating status of the fire hydrant based on the pressure data and water flow data. When the operating status is normal, the central processing module transmits the normal operating status data to the external background integrated management system through the communication module; when the operating status is abnormal, the central processing module transmits the control signal to the abnormal alarm module, and the abnormal alarm module alarms; at the same time, the central processing module also transmits the abnormal operating status data to the external background integrated management system.

[0086] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic water meter is also provided with a central processing module, an abnormal alarm module, and a positioning module. The central processing module can determine the operating status of the fire hydrant based on the pressure data and the water flow data. The abnormal alarm module can alarm when the water flow from the fire hydrant is abnormal. The positioning module can locate the position of the fire hydrant in time, so as to facilitate timely troubleshooting of the fire hydrant and ensure fire safety.

[0087] Furthermore, the central processing module can also calculate other water outlets on the fire hydrant (such as attached Figure 1 The specific method is that the central processing module calculates the approximate water output as the water output flow data II according to the starting pressure data value at the time of water output and the pressure change value and change speed during the process of flow stabilization, combined with the pressure change time, and transmits the water output flow data II to the background integrated management system through the communication module.

[0088] Furthermore, a model for establishing the correlation between pressure change and flow rate based on big data analysis can be preset in the central processing module, and the water flow rate data II can be calculated based on the model.

[0089] The present embodiment provides a method for monitoring water use and status of underground fire hydrants with dual water outlets in the north. By setting a water use and pressure monitoring device on only one water outlet of the fire hydrant, the flow rate of all water outlets of the fire hydrant can be monitored. There is no need to set monitoring water meters at all water outlets of the fire hydrant, which can save costs and improve the update efficiency of smart fire hydrants.

[0090] Furthermore, the method by which the central processing module determines the operating status of the fire hydrant according to the pressure data and the water flow data I is:

[0091] The central processing module compares the received pressure data with the preset threshold:

[0092] When the pressure data is not less than the threshold value and the water flow data is equal to zero, the central processing module determines that the operation status of the fire hydrant is normal;

[0093] Except for the period of time when a fire occurs and the normal use state is in progress, when the pressure data is less than the threshold value and the water flow data is greater than zero, the central processing module determines that water is flowing out of the water outlet Ⅰ06, and the central processing module determines that the operation state of the fire hydrant is abnormal;

[0094] Except for the period of time when a fire occurs and the water flow rate is equal to zero, other water outlets on the fire hydrant may discharge water, such as the attached Figure 1 The water outlet Ⅱ07 in the fire hydrant, or there is a problem with the water supply to the fire hydrant, at this time the central processing module determines that the operating status of the fire hydrant is abnormal.

[0095] In this embodiment, only one water outlet of the fire hydrant needs to be provided with a water use monitoring structure, so that the status of all water outlets of the fire hydrant can be monitored. The water outlet status of the corresponding water outlet can be positively judged, and whether other water outlets are abnormal can be judged. There is no need to set monitoring water meters at all water outlets of the fire hydrant, which can save costs and improve the update efficiency of the smart fire hydrant.

[0096] In summary, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
