As an important carrier of urban power transmission, the safety and stability of underground cables are directly related to the normal operation of residents' lives and corporate production. However, since most underground cables are buried deep under urban roads, their locations are hidden and difficult to observe directly, which leads to frequent external force damage during road construction and urban construction. This not only increases the difficulty and cost of power system operation and maintenance, but also seriously affects the normal operation of the social economy.

[0011] In a second aspect, the present application discloses a method for using a cable marker device to prevent external damage, comprising: The device is installed on the ground through the shell, and the vibration monitoring module obtains the vibration signal of the surrounding environment and converts the vibration signal into an electrical signal and outputs it to the communication module; The voiceprint recognition module obtains the sound signal of the surrounding environment, extracts the voiceprint feature information from the sound signal, saves and classifies the voiceprint feature information, and transmits the voiceprint feature information recognition result to the communication module; and the voiceprint recognition module updates the parameters according to the preset period; The positioning module obtains the location information of the device in real time, transmits the location information to the communication module, and saves the location information; The communication module transmits the received electrical signal, the voiceprint feature information recognition result and the location information to the processor; The processor determines whether the underground cable is damaged by external force based on the identification results of the electrical signal and voiceprint feature information.

[0014] Preferably, the processor determines whether the underground cable is damaged by external force according to the identification results of the electrical signal and the voiceprint feature information. If so, the early warning mechanism is triggered, and the early warning mechanism is transmitted to the warning light through the communication module. The warning light starts flashing at different frequencies to issue an early warning, and transmits the location information to the host computer, specifically: After the electrical signal is analyzed by the processor, when it is determined that the amplitude of the vibration waveform corresponding to the electrical signal reaches a preset abnormal threshold, it is initially judged as abnormal vibration; the abnormal vibration is then analyzed by a machine learning algorithm to finally determine whether it is an abnormal vibration.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1) When the device is monitoring vibration, the high-precision vibration sensor can accurately sense the surrounding vibration. It works with the signal conditioning circuit, vibration data acquisition card and vibration data buffer to effectively collect and process vibration data. Through advanced vibration analysis algorithms, combined with threshold judgment and machine learning algorithms (random forest, gradient boosting tree, etc.), it can accurately judge abnormal vibration. The multi-microphone array collects sound from multiple directions. After preprocessing, the voiceprint feature extraction chip extracts multi-dimensional features such as spectrum, time domain and energy distribution. The voiceprint recognition algorithm chip then uses support vector machine or convolutional neural network classifier for classification and recognition. For specific construction machinery scenes such as hook machines, blasting hammers, and manual drilling, the algorithm is optimized so that the device can accurately distinguish normal environmental noise from construction machinery sounds. When the vibration analysis is judged as abnormal vibration and the voiceprint recognition result shows that there is a construction machinery sound, the processor can accurately determine that it may be an external force damage event for underground cables, trigger the early warning mechanism, and warn relevant personnel to stop possible destructive activities through different flashing frequencies of the warning light, effectively protecting the safety of underground cables; 2) The device has strong environmental adaptability. In different on-site environments, it can reduce misjudgment by evaluating the degree of interference, adjusting the filter parameters of the vibration monitoring module and the exclusion rules in the voiceprint recognition algorithm, and selecting the appropriate model of the device according to factors such as the on-site lighting conditions, power supply, electromagnetic interference level, monitoring range requirements, and data transmission requirements. It can also reasonably configure the power supply module and communication module to ensure that the device can operate stably in complex environments. Whether in areas with strong electromagnetic interference, insufficient light, or severe signal blocking, it can play its monitoring and early warning functions. 3) The solar charging controller of the device effectively manages the charging process to prevent battery overcharging and ensure battery safety and service life. When the solar power supply is insufficient, the power switching circuit automatically switches to the backup lithium battery pack for power supply. The backup lithium battery pack has the characteristics of high energy density and low self-discharge rate. The power monitor monitors the power status in real time and feeds back to the processor. The operation and maintenance personnel can view it through the background system to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the device. In terms of data transmission, the communication protocol conversion chip converts the data collected by each module into a format that conforms to the NBIoT communication protocol. The communication data buffer temporarily stores the data to be sent and received to prevent data loss. The communication antenna cooperates with the NBIoT communication chip to realize low-power, wide-coverage, and high-reliability remote data transmission and command reception between the device and the background system, ensuring the stability of data transmission. The positioning module obtains the device's geographic location information through GPS / Beidou positioning technology. The positioning data buffer temporarily stores the positioning information and sends it to the background system through the communication module when needed, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly locate the device. 4) The AI intelligent learning algorithm built into the device's processor learns normal vibration patterns and voiceprint features in the early stages of the device's operation, builds a "knowledge base", and determines whether to trigger an early warning by calculating the difference or distance between the current vibration or voiceprint features and the statistical information in the "knowledge base". At the same time, the algorithm adjusts the early warning threshold based on historical data (such as false positives and false negatives), and for the voiceprint recognition model and vibration analysis model, if the accuracy rate is low or the misjudgment rate is high, it can be self-optimized by collecting more samples to retrain the model, adjust the model parameters, etc., to ensure the long-term stable operation of the device and continuously and effectively protect the safety of underground cables.

At the same time, it is necessary to record the on-site environmental information, including terrain, landforms, surrounding buildings, etc. This information is of great significance for the subsequent installation location selection and algorithm parameter adjustment of the device; For different on-site environments, in areas close to major traffic routes, the vibration and noise generated by vehicle driving may interfere with the vibration monitoring module 2 and voiceprint recognition module 3 of the device. In this case, it is necessary to evaluate the degree of interference. Simple vibration and noise monitoring equipment can be temporarily set up on site to collect data for a period of time, analyze the frequency, amplitude and voiceprint characteristics of vehicle driving vibration and noise, etc. According to the analysis results, when installing the intelligent anti-external breakage cable stake device, it is necessary to adjust the filtering parameters of the signal conditioning circuit 203 in the vibration monitoring module 2 to better filter out the interference signal generated by the vehicle driving vibration. For the voiceprint recognition module 3, the vehicle driving sound characteristics collected in the early stage can be used to set corresponding exclusion rules in the voiceprint recognition algorithm to avoid misjudging the vehicle driving sound as the construction machinery sound. Then, according to the results of the on-site investigation, select a suitable model of intelligent cable marker device to prevent external damage. If the on-site environment is more complex, if there is a lot of electromagnetic interference or a larger area needs to be monitored, it is necessary to select a device with stronger anti-interference ability and a larger monitoring range. The power supply module 5 can be reasonably configured according to the lighting conditions and power supply conditions on site. If the on-site lighting is sufficient, the power of the solar panel 501 can be appropriately selected to be smaller. In areas with insufficient lighting, such as places with more building obstructions, it is necessary to select a solar panel 501 with higher power or increase the capacity of the backup lithium battery pack 503. In addition, according to the requirements of the site for data transmission, such as transmission distance, transmission rate, etc., select a suitable communication module 7. If the site is far away from the background system or there are more signal obstructions, it is necessary to select a communication antenna 702 with stronger signal penetration ability and longer transmission distance and a more advanced NBIoT communication chip 701. Then, according to the monitoring capability of the vibration sensor 201 in the vibration monitoring module 2, its effective monitoring range is determined to be an area with a radius of 10 meters with the device as the center. When selecting a specific installation location, the device is installed on the side close to the possible operation of the construction machinery, and it is necessary to avoid installing it in a position that is easily collided or blocked by the construction equipment. At the intersection, the device is installed in a position that can fully monitor the construction activities in all directions of the intersection. During installation, the device is firmly fixed to the cable stake using the mounting holes on the fixing seat 102 at the bottom of the device housing 1, and bolts and other connecting parts are used to ensure that the device is firmly installed and will not be displaced due to external factors such as wind, slight collisions, etc., thereby ensuring the accuracy of monitoring and early warning; After the device is installed, you first need to check the appearance of the device to ensure that the shell body 101 is not damaged, the sealing rubber gasket 104 is installed correctly and well sealed, and the waterproof eaves 107 are not deformed or damaged to ensure the waterproof performance of the device.

[0048] When the device is in normal use, the vibration monitoring module 2 located inside the device housing 1 starts working, wherein the high-precision vibration sensor 201 as a core component can accurately sense the vibration of the device's surrounding environment. For example, when there is an excavator operating nearby or a heavy object hitting the ground, the vibration sensor 201 will convert these vibration signals into weak electrical signal outputs.
[0049] The sensor fixing frame 202 ensures that the position of the vibration sensor 201 inside the device is stable to avoid misjudgment caused by shaking. After the signal conditioning circuit 203 fixed to the sensor fixing frame 202 is connected to the vibration sensor 201, the weak electrical signal output by the sensor is amplified, filtered and other conditioning operations are performed to amplify the weak electrical signal to a suitable amplitude, and the interference signal is filtered out to improve the signal quality.
[0050] The vibration data acquisition card 204 is mounted on the sensor fixing frame 202, collects the vibration data processed by the signal conditioning circuit 203, and converts the analog signal into a digital signal so that the processor 8 can perform data processing.
[0051] The vibration data buffer 205 between the vibration data acquisition card 204 and the processor 8 temporarily stores the collected vibration data to prevent data loss or untimely processing and ensure the stability of data transmission. When the processor 8 is processing other urgent tasks, the vibration data buffer 205 can temporarily store the newly collected vibration data and wait for the processor 8 to process it.
[0052] The multi-microphone array 301 in the voiceprint recognition module 3 starts working. The array composed of multiple microphones can capture sound signals from different directions. When there are construction machinery making sounds around the device, the multi-microphone array 301 can comprehensively collect these sound signals. A microphone windshield 302 is installed on each microphone to reduce the interference of external wind on sound collection, ensuring that the collected sound signals are pure.
[0053] The collected sound signal is transmitted to the voiceprint feature extraction chip 303, which uses advanced algorithms to process the sound, including multi-dimensional voiceprint feature information such as spectrum features, time domain features, and energy distribution. For the unique sound emitted by construction machinery, the voiceprint feature extraction chip 303 can accurately extract its features; The voiceprint feature cache unit 304 temporarily stores the voiceprint feature information extracted by the voiceprint feature extraction chip 303, waiting for subsequent classification and recognition processing, to ensure the continuity of data processing.
[0054] The voiceprint recognition algorithm chip 305 has a built-in voiceprint recognition algorithm based on the deep neural network DNN framework, which classifies and identifies the feature vectors in the voiceprint feature cache unit 304. In the identification of specific on-site excavation tools, such as hook machines, blasting hammers, manual drilling tools, etc., identification is performed according to the previously optimized voiceprint recognition algorithm. For the voiceprint recognition of the hook machine, according to the optimized classification and recognition method in the hook machine scenario, the support vector machine SVM or convolutional neural network CNN classifier is used to accurately identify the sound characteristics of the hook machine. The same is true for blasting hammers and manual drilling tools. They are identified according to their respective optimized algorithms to distinguish normal environmental noise such as wind, rain, vehicle driving sounds, etc. from the sounds of excavation tools.
[0055] When the vibration data detected by the vibration monitoring module 2 is analyzed by the processor 8 and it is determined that the amplitude of the vibration waveform reaches a preset abnormal amplitude value or the frequency of the vibration waveform reaches an abnormal frequency value, or when the voiceprint recognition module 3 identifies a specific construction machinery voiceprint that may cause damage to underground cables, the processor 8 will send an instruction to the light controller 403 of the warning light 4.
[0056] After receiving the instruction from the processor 8, the light controller 403 controls the high-brightness LED lamp bead 401 to turn on. The high-brightness LED lamp bead 401 has the advantages of high brightness, low power consumption, long life, etc., and can emit a strong light signal. The lampshade 402 covers the outside of the LED lamp bead 401 to protect the lamp bead and scatter light, so that the warning light signal can be observed in a larger range. According to the instruction of the processor 8, the light controller 403 can also control the flashing frequency of the warning light 4 and other operations to achieve different warning levels of light warning effects. It can flash slowly when there is a slight risk, and it can flash quickly when there is a high risk, so as to effectively warn the surrounding construction personnel or other relevant personnel to stop activities that may cause damage to underground cables.
[0057] The solar panel 501 installed on the top of the device housing 1 starts working when there is sunlight during the day, converting solar energy into electrical energy. The solar charging controller 502 controls and manages the electrical energy output by the solar panel 501 to prevent the battery from overcharging. When the power of the backup lithium battery pack 503 reaches the set full power value, the solar charging controller 502 will automatically adjust the output of the solar panel 501 and stop charging the backup lithium battery pack 503 to ensure the safe charging and service life of the battery.
[0058] In the case of insufficient solar power supply, such as on cloudy days or at night, the power switching circuit 504 will automatically switch to the backup lithium battery pack 503 to power the device. The backup lithium battery pack 503 has the characteristics of high energy density and low self-discharge rate, and can ensure the continuous and stable operation of the device when solar energy cannot supply power. The power monitor 505 monitors the power status of the power supply module 5 in real time, including the power generation power of the solar panel 501, the remaining power of the battery pack and other information, and feeds the information back to the processor 8. The operation and maintenance personnel can view this power information through the background system to timely understand the power status of the device. When the backup lithium battery pack 503 is too low in power, it can be maintained or replaced in time.
[0059] The GPS / Beidou positioning chip 601 located inside the device housing 1 uses high-precision GPS or Beidou satellite positioning technology to obtain the device's geographic location information in real time. The positioning antenna 602 is installed outside the device housing 1 and connected to the GPS / Beidou positioning chip 601 to receive satellite signals to ensure that the positioning chip 601 can stably and accurately obtain positioning information.
[0060] The positioning data buffer 603 temporarily stores the location information obtained by the positioning chip 601, waiting for the communication module 7 to send it to the background system, which can prevent the loss of positioning data due to communication delays or interruptions. When the location of the device needs to be determined so that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly arrive at the scene, the communication module 7 will send the location information in the positioning data buffer 603.
[0061] When the data collected by each module inside the device needs to be sent to the background system, the communication protocol conversion chip 703 converts the format of the data into a format that conforms to the NBIoT communication protocol, such as: converting the vibration data collected by the vibration monitoring module 2, the voiceprint feature data extracted by the voiceprint recognition module 3, and the positioning information obtained by the positioning module 6 into a format that can be transmitted through the NBIoT communication chip 701. At the same time, the communication protocol conversion chip 703 also converts the received background system instructions into a format that can be recognized by each module inside the device.
[0062] Data caching and communication The communication data buffer 704 is used to temporarily store the communication data to be sent and received. When sending data, if the communication module 7 is temporarily unable to send data due to network or other reasons, the communication data buffer 704 can temporarily store the data to prevent data loss; when receiving data, it can also temporarily store the received data and wait for the processor 8 to process it to ensure the stability of communication. The communication antenna 702 is installed on the outside of the device housing 1 and is connected to the NBIoT communication chip 701 for sending and receiving wireless signals to ensure that the communication between the device and the background system is stable and reliable. Through the narrowband Internet of Things NBIoT communication technology of the NBIoT communication chip 701, remote data transmission and command reception between the device and the background system are realized, which has the advantages of low power consumption, wide coverage, and high reliability.
[0063] Processor 8 is the core component of the device. Processor 8 makes a comprehensive decision based on the vibration analysis results and voiceprint recognition results. If the vibration analysis determines that it is abnormal vibration and the voiceprint recognition results show that there are sounds of excavation tools such as hook machines, blasting hammers, manual drilling tools, etc., it is determined that it may be an external force damage event of underground cables, and the early warning mechanism is triggered; After the early warning mechanism is triggered, the processor 8 sends an instruction to the light controller 403 of the warning light 4. After receiving the instruction from the processor 8, the light controller 403 controls the high-brightness LED lamp bead 401 to turn on. According to the instruction from the processor 8, the light controller 403 can also control the flashing frequency of the warning light 4 and other operations to achieve light warning effects of different early warning levels, thereby effectively warning the surrounding construction workers or other relevant personnel to stop activities that may cause damage to the underground cables; At the same time, the GPS / Beidou positioning chip 601 in the positioning module 6 uses high-precision GPS or Beidou satellite positioning technology to obtain the geographical location information of the device in real time. The positioning data buffer 603 temporarily stores the location information obtained by the positioning chip 601, waiting for the communication module 7 to send it to the background system. The communication protocol conversion chip 703 in the communication module 7 converts the format of the positioning information and other data into a format that conforms to the NBIoT communication protocol, and then sends the location information and warning information to the background system through the NBIoT communication chip 701 and the communication antenna 702, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly locate the location where external damage may occur and take corresponding measures; After the warning, the device continues to monitor the surrounding environment. The AI intelligent learning algorithm built into the processor 8 will continuously optimize its own judgment model based on the newly collected data. If there are many false alarms in a certain period of time, it may be due to changes in the on-site environment, such as the addition of a certain device that continuously produces sounds similar to excavation tools. The intelligent learning algorithm will adjust the warning threshold based on historical data such as false alarms and missed alarms within a month, and increase the threshold to reduce the false alarm rate; The algorithm execution unit 803 executes various algorithms such as built-in AI intelligent learning algorithm, voiceprint recognition algorithm, vibration analysis algorithm, etc. to process and analyze data to realize the intelligent functions of the device. For example, through the AI intelligent learning algorithm, the processor 8 can continuously learn and adapt to different environmental vibration and sound patterns to reduce misjudgment. Based on the analysis results, the processor 8 makes warning decisions, such as determining whether to turn on the warning light 4, whether to send positioning information and warning information to the background system, etc.; For specific vibration data, the processor 8 executes the vibration analysis algorithm through the algorithm execution unit 803, first extracting characteristic parameters from the pre-processed vibration waveform data, including amplitude extraction to calculate the peak amplitude of the vibration waveform data, that is, traversing the data to find the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value, frequency extraction to convert the vibration waveform data from the time domain to the frequency domain using the fast Fourier transform FFT, finding the frequency point with larger energy in the frequency domain to determine the main frequency, and duration extraction to determine the duration of the vibration waveform that exceeds a certain threshold and sets the normal vibration amplitude threshold according to experience; Then, analysis and judgment are performed based on threshold judgment and machine learning algorithms. Threshold judgment is a preliminary judgment based on the preset amplitude, frequency, and duration thresholds. For example, if the amplitude exceeds the threshold, the frequency is within the specific construction machinery vibration frequency range, and the duration exceeds the threshold, it is preliminarily judged as possible abnormal vibration. When analyzing the device learning algorithm, a random forest algorithm is used, which consists of multiple decision trees. Each decision tree randomly extracts samples from the training data set with replacement to construct a sub-data set. The nodes are split according to a certain feature threshold, such as according to the vibration amplitude characteristics. When predicting, each decision tree is classified. Finally, the comprehensive results are voted to determine the final classification or the gradient boosting tree algorithm is used to iteratively construct a decision tree. Each round builds a new decision tree based on the current model prediction error to correct the error, such as predicting the error between the probability of abnormal vibration and the actual label based on the vibration feature parameters. Finally, the weighted sum of all decision tree prediction results is obtained to obtain the final result. The data storage unit 802 stores various data during the operation of the device, including vibration waveform data, voiceprint feature data, positioning information, warning records, etc. It also stores the programs and algorithms required for the operation of the processor 8. The clock circuit 804 provides a stable clock signal for the processor 8 to ensure that the various components of the processor 8 can work in the correct timing to ensure the normal operation of the device. When the device encounters an abnormal situation, such as a freeze or program runaway, the reset circuit 805 resets the processor 8 to the initial state and restarts the device to ensure that the device can work normally.
[0064] In order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the intelligent anti-external damage cable marker device, regular maintenance and inspection are required. The time interval for regular maintenance can be determined according to the use environment and operating conditions of the device. It is generally recommended to conduct a comprehensive maintenance inspection every quarter.
[0065] During the regular maintenance inspection, the operation and maintenance personnel first inspect the appearance of the device to see if the device housing 1 is damaged, such as whether the housing body 101 has cracks, whether the waterproof eaves 107 are intact, whether the sealing rubber gasket 104 is well sealed, etc. Check whether the lampshade 402 of the warning light 4 is damaged, and whether the high-brightness LED lamp bead 401 is emitting light normally; Open the inspection door 105 to inspect the internal modules, check whether the sensitivity of the vibration sensor 201 decreases, whether the sensor fixing bracket 202 is firm, whether the signal conditioning circuit 203, the vibration data acquisition card 204 and the vibration data buffer 205 are working properly, check whether the multi-microphone array 301 is damaged or blocked, whether the microphone windshield 302 needs to be replaced, whether the voiceprint feature extraction chip 303, the voiceprint feature cache unit 304 and the voiceprint recognition algorithm chip 305 are in good operating condition, check whether the surface of the solar panel 501 is clean, whether there are any obstructions that affect the power generation efficiency, whether the control function of the solar charging controller 502 is normal, whether the power and performance of the backup lithium battery pack 503 are normal, whether the power switching circuit 504 can switch the power normally, and whether the monitoring data of the power monitor 505 is accurate. For the positioning module 6, check whether the positioning accuracy of the GPS / Beidou positioning chip 601 decreases, whether the positioning antenna 602 is damaged, whether the positioning data buffer 603 stores the positioning information normally, check whether the communication function of the NBIoT communication chip 701 is normal, whether the communication antenna 702 is damaged, whether the communication protocol conversion chip 703 can correctly convert the data format, whether the communication data buffer 704 can stably store the communication data, and finally check whether the operating speed of the central processing unit 801 of the processor 8 is normal, whether the data storage unit 802 has enough storage space, whether the efficiency of the algorithm execution unit 803 executing the algorithm decreases, whether the clock signal provided by the clock circuit 804 is stable, and whether the reset circuit 805 can be reset normally; Based on the results of regular maintenance and inspection, any problems found are repaired or parts are replaced in a timely manner. Through regular maintenance and inspection, the intelligent anti-external damage cable marker device is always in good operating condition, improving its early warning capability for external force damage to underground cables.
[0066] The voiceprint recognition algorithm is as follows: The voiceprint recognition algorithm used in this device is based on the deep neural network DNN framework. It constructs a feature vector set by extracting multi-dimensional information such as the spectral characteristics, time domain characteristics, and energy distribution of the construction machinery sound. Subsequently, classifiers such as support vector machines (SVM) or convolutional neural networks (CNN) are used to classify and identify the feature vectors to distinguish between normal environmental noise and construction machinery sounds. The algorithm continuously optimizes the recognition model through continuous learning to improve recognition accuracy and robustness.
[0067] The details are as follows: 1. Sound collection and preprocessing: The multi-microphone array 301 collects sound. Since the propagation of construction machinery sound is affected by the environment, multi-directional collection can obtain more comprehensive sound information. The collected sound signal is first pre-processed, and the least mean square (LMS) adaptive filtering algorithm is used to remove background noise. Assume that the original sound signal is , the reference noise signal is , the filter coefficients are , error signal , ( is the filter order), through μ is the step size factor, and the update coefficient minimizes the mean square error to achieve the purpose of denoising. Then the sound signal is divided into frames, each frame is 20-30 milliseconds long, and the frame shift is 10-15 milliseconds.
[0068] 2. Voiceprint feature extraction: The voiceprint feature extraction chip 303 performs multi-dimensional feature extraction.
[0069] Spectral feature extraction: Use fast Fourier transform (FFT) to extract the length of The discrete-time signal Convert to frequency domain signal , and then calculate the Mel frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC), first convert the linear frequency Convert to Mel frequency , then take the logarithm of the power spectrum at the Mel frequency, and then perform discrete cosine transform (DCT) to obtain the MFCC coefficients.
[0070] Time domain feature extraction: Calculate the zero-crossing rate (the number of times the sound signal crosses the zero point) and short-time energy ( for each frame of sound signal).
[0071] Energy distribution feature extraction: Divide the frequency domain signal into several frequency bands, calculate the proportion of each frequency band energy to the total energy to obtain the energy distribution feature. These features are combined into a feature vector set , is the feature vector dimension.
[0072] 3. Classification and Identification: The voiceprint recognition algorithm chip 305 uses a support vector machine (SVM) or a convolutional neural network (CNN) for classification.
[0073] SVM classifier: For binary classification, the goal is to find the hyperplane Maximize the distance between the two types of data points and the hyperplane. By solving , subject to , is the sample category label, is the sample feature vector, is the number of samples) to determine the hyperplane parameters, and the nonlinearly separable data is mapped to a high-dimensional space using a kernel function (such as linear kernel, polynomial kernel, Gaussian kernel, etc.) to make it linearly separable.
[0074] CNN classifier: It consists of convolutional layer, pooling layer and fully connected layer. Convolution operation in convolutional layer is the input feature map, is the convolution kernel, and is the convolution kernel size), the pooling layer performs downsampling (maximum pooling and average pooling are commonly used), the fully connected layer connects the pooling layer output to make classification decisions, and the network weights are adjusted through the back propagation algorithm.
[0075] 4. Model Optimization When there are new labeled samples, SVM re-solves the optimization problem to update the hyperplane parameters, and CNN uses the new samples to perform back-propagation algorithm training to adjust the network weights to improve recognition accuracy and robustness.
[0076] Vibration analysis algorithm: The vibration waveform data collected by the vibration monitoring module is first preprocessed (such as denoising, filtering, etc.), and then the characteristic parameters (such as amplitude, frequency, duration, etc.) are extracted. The processor uses threshold-based judgment logic and machine learning algorithms (such as random forests, gradient boosting trees, etc.) to analyze the characteristic parameters to determine whether it is an abnormal vibration. At the same time, it combines the voiceprint recognition results to make a comprehensive decision to improve the accuracy and timeliness of the early warning.
[0077] The details are as follows: 1. Vibration data collection and preprocessing: The high-precision vibration sensor 201 monitors vibration and converts it into an electrical signal. After amplification and filtering by the signal conditioning circuit 203, the vibration data acquisition card 204 converts the analog signal into a digital signal to obtain vibration waveform data, and the pre-processing adopts wavelet transform to remove noise.
[0078] 2. Feature parameter extraction and analysis: Extract characteristic parameters from the preprocessed vibration waveform data, including: Amplitude extraction: Calculate the peak amplitude of the vibration waveform data, that is, traverse the data to find the difference between the maximum and minimum values.
[0079] Frequency extraction: Use Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the vibration waveform data from the time domain to the frequency domain, and find the frequency points with larger energy in the frequency domain to determine the main frequency.
[0080] Duration extraction: Determine the duration of the vibration waveform that exceeds a certain threshold (the normal vibration amplitude threshold is set based on experience).
[0081] The analysis is based on thresholds and machine learning algorithms: Threshold-based judgment: A preliminary judgment is made based on the pre-set amplitude, frequency, and duration thresholds. If the amplitude exceeds the threshold, the frequency is within the specific construction machinery vibration frequency range, and the duration exceeds the threshold, it is preliminarily judged as a possible abnormal vibration.
[0082] Machine Learning Algorithm Analysis: Random forest algorithm: It consists of multiple decision trees. Each decision tree randomly extracts samples with replacement from the training data set to construct a sub-data set. The nodes are split according to a certain feature threshold (such as according to the vibration amplitude feature). Each decision tree is classified during prediction, and the final classification is determined by voting based on the comprehensive results.
[0083] Gradient boosting tree algorithm: Build decision trees in an iterative manner. In each round, a new decision tree is built based on the current model prediction error to correct the error (such as the error between the probability of abnormal vibration predicted based on vibration feature parameters and the actual label). Finally, the weighted sum of all decision tree prediction results is used to obtain the final result.
[0084] 3. Comprehensive decision-making: Combined with the voiceprint recognition results, if the vibration analysis determines that it is an abnormal vibration and the voiceprint recognition results indicate the presence of construction machinery sounds, it is determined that an external force damage event may have occurred to the underground cable, triggering an early warning mechanism.
[0085] 5. Intelligent learning algorithm 1. Environmental model learning: The AI intelligent learning algorithm built into the processor 8 learns normal vibration patterns and voiceprint characteristics in the initial stage of device operation (such as setting a one-week learning period).
[0086] Normal vibration pattern learning: The vibration waveform data collected by the vibration monitoring module is classified using the K-means clustering algorithm. Each cluster calculates the mean and standard deviation of characteristic parameters such as amplitude, frequency, and duration to build a normal vibration pattern "knowledge base".
[0087] Normal voiceprint feature learning: The voiceprint recognition module collects and processes the voiceprint feature vectors, calculates statistical information such as the mean and covariance, and constructs a "knowledge base" of voiceprint features under normal conditions.
[0088] 2. Early warning trigger mechanism: Vibration warning trigger: Calculate the difference between the characteristic parameters of the current vibration waveform data and the statistical information in the "knowledge base" of the normal vibration mode, such as calculating the difference between the current amplitude and the normal amplitude mean and comparing it with the normal amplitude standard deviation. If the difference exceeds a certain multiple (such as 3 times the standard deviation), an alarm is triggered.
[0089] Voiceprint warning trigger: Calculate the distance between the current voiceprint feature vector and the statistical information in the normal voiceprint feature "knowledge base", such as the Euclidean distance ; is the first Quantity, is the mean of the corresponding features in the normal voiceprint feature “knowledge base”, is the dimension of the feature vector), and an abnormal voiceprint feature exceeding the threshold triggers an early warning.
[0090] 3. Self-optimization mechanism: Warning threshold adjustment: Adjust the warning threshold based on historical data (such as false alarms and missed alarms within a month). Increase the threshold when the false alarm rate is high, and lower the threshold when the missed alarm rate is high. The adjustment range is adaptively adjusted according to the false alarm and missed alarm ratio.
[0091] Optimization of recognition model parameters: Voiceprint recognition model: If the voiceprint recognition accuracy of some construction machinery is low, collect more sound samples of this type to retrain the model (such as adjusting SVM hyperplane parameters or CNN weights). It may also be necessary to adjust feature extraction parameters (such as MFCC calculation parameters or wavelet transform denoising thresholds, etc.).
[0092] Vibration analysis model: If the misjudgment rate for certain vibrations (such as low-frequency weak vibrations) is high, collect more sample data. For the random forest model, adjust the number of decision trees, tree depth, and feature selection strategy. For the gradient boosting tree model, adjust the learning rate, number of trees, and the strategy for building trees in each iteration, and then retrain the model to improve accuracy.
[0093] The AI intelligent learning algorithm built into the processor can automatically record and learn the normal vibration patterns and soundprint characteristics of the device's surrounding environment to form a "knowledge base" that adapts to different scenarios. When the actual monitored data does not match the pattern in the "knowledge base", the algorithm will trigger the early warning mechanism. In addition, the algorithm also has the ability to self-optimize and can continuously adjust the early warning threshold and recognition model parameters based on historical data to adapt to environmental changes and reduce false alarm rates.
[0094] 6. Optimization of voiceprint recognition algorithm in specific scenarios: ①Optimization of voiceprint recognition algorithm in hook machine scenario: In the operation scene of the excavator, the sound it emits has unique characteristics. Specifically, the sound of the excavator's engine running, the mechanical friction sound when the excavator arm moves, and the sound of collision with the ground or objects during excavation constitute a complex sound pattern. The sound of the engine usually has a relatively stable low-frequency part. When the excavator arm moves, the friction between metal parts and the effect of the hydraulic system will produce medium and high-frequency sound components. The sound of collision with the ground or objects during excavation is a sudden, high-energy sound signal; For sound collection in this scenario, the multi-microphone array (301) can be particularly useful for capturing low-frequency sounds, because the low-frequency part of the sound of the crane engine decays relatively slowly during propagation and is easily distinguished from other environmental noises. At the same time, in the crane operation scenario, the microphone windshield (302) not only needs to reduce wind noise interference, but also needs to be able to resist the influence of dust and other impurities raised by the crane operation on sound collection; When extracting spectral features, for the sound of the hook machine, in addition to the conventional Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) calculation, the spectrum of the low-frequency band can be divided more finely to extract more low-frequency feature parameters. In the time domain feature extraction, the collision sound of the hook machine during excavation has obvious pulse characteristics. When calculating the zero-crossing rate and short-time energy, the size and step size of the calculation window can be adjusted according to this pulse characteristic to more accurately capture the characteristics of this sudden sound. Since the energy of the hook machine sound is mainly concentrated in the low-frequency and part of the mid-frequency band, when dividing the frequency band to calculate the energy ratio, the division range of the frequency band can be appropriately adjusted to make the division of the low-frequency band more refined, thereby more accurately reflecting the energy distribution characteristics of the hook machine sound; When using the support vector machine (SVM) classifier, for the classification of hook machine sounds, since its sound characteristics are relatively complex and there may be nonlinear separability, you can try to use more complex kernel functions, such as the Gaussian kernel function, and optimize the parameters of the kernel function through methods such as cross-validation. For the convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier, when building the network structure, you can increase the number of convolution layers or adjust the size of the convolution kernel to better extract the complex features of the hook machine sounds. At the same time, during the training process, collect more sound samples of hook machine operations, including sounds of different models of hook machines and in different operating environments, to improve the classifier's recognition accuracy of hook machine sounds.
[0095] When there are new annotated samples of excavator sounds, both the SVM and CNN classifiers need to be optimized in a timely manner. For SVM, the optimization problem is re-solved to update the hyperplane parameters so that it can better adapt to the new excavator sound characteristics. For CNN, new samples are used to train the back propagation algorithm to adjust the network weights. Considering the different working environments of the excavator, the sounds will be different when digging on different soil types. The classification model needs to be evaluated and adjusted regularly to ensure its robustness.
[0096] ②Optimization of voiceprint recognition algorithm in the cannon hammer scenario: When the hammer is operating, the sound generated by the impact force of the hammer releases a large amount of energy in a short period of time, and its frequency components are mainly concentrated in the high frequency band. In addition, the hammer operation is usually intermittent, and there is a certain time interval between each impact sound. This sound feature is very different from the sound of the hook machine. During collection, the multi-microphone array (301) can perform a higher sampling frequency to accurately capture the high-frequency components of the hammer sound. At the same time, the microphone windshield (302) can withstand the strong airflow impact generated by the hammer operation to prevent interference with the sound collection.
[0097] In terms of spectrum feature extraction, due to the high-frequency characteristics of the hammer sound, it is necessary to improve the resolution of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain more detailed high-frequency spectrum information. When calculating the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), the weight of the high-frequency part can be adjusted to highlight the high-frequency characteristics of the hammer sound. In the time domain feature extraction, the calculation of the zero-crossing rate and short-time energy needs to adapt to the pulse characteristics of the hammer sound. The time window for calculating the zero-crossing rate and short-time energy can be shortened to more accurately reflect the characteristics of each impact sound of the hammer. For the energy distribution feature extraction, focus on the energy distribution of the high-frequency band, and further subdivide the high-frequency band to better describe the energy concentration area of the hammer sound. When using the SVM classifier, due to the uniqueness of the hammer sound, for a hammer sound with obvious nonlinear characteristics, it is necessary to use a polynomial kernel function and optimize its order. For the CNN classifier, increase the number of convolution kernels in the convolution layer to enhance the ability to extract the high-frequency and complex features of the hammer sound. In addition, during the training process, collect more samples of the hammer operation sound, such as the sound of hammers of different powers and different working materials (such as rock, concrete, etc.), to improve the classifier's recognition accuracy of the hammer sound; When there are new labeled samples of hammer sounds, SVM needs to re-solve the optimization problem to update the hyperplane parameters, and CNN needs to use the new samples to perform back-propagation algorithm training to adjust the network weights. At the same time, since the operating sounds in different building structures will be different, the classification model needs to be continuously optimized to improve its ability to recognize hammer sounds in different operating environments.
[0098] ③Optimization of voiceprint recognition algorithm in manual punching scenario: The sound of manual drilling is relatively simple. The impact sound generated when the drilling tool contacts the ground or an object is the main sound component. Its frequency components are mainly concentrated in the mid-frequency band. Due to the rhythm of manual operation, the sound will show a certain periodicity. Through the reasonable arrangement of the multi-microphone array (301), the direction and intensity of the drilling sound can be accurately captured. In terms of spectral feature extraction, for artificial perforation sounds, the main focus is on the spectral features of the mid-frequency band. When calculating the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), the calculation parameters of the mid-frequency band can be appropriately adjusted to better reflect the spectral features of the perforation sound. In time domain feature extraction, the calculation of the zero-crossing rate and short-time energy can be set according to the approximate frequency of the perforation. The time window for calculating the zero-crossing rate and short-time energy can be set to better capture the periodic characteristics of the sound. For energy distribution feature extraction, the mid-frequency band is further subdivided to accurately calculate the energy distribution within the frequency band.
[0099] When using the SVM classifier, due to the relative uniformity and periodicity of the artificial punching sound, the parameters of the kernel function can be adjusted according to these characteristics. For artificial punching sounds with good linear separability, better results may be achieved by using a linear kernel function and optimizing its parameters. For the CNN classifier, the network structure can be simplified, the number of convolutional layers can be reduced, or the size of the convolution kernel can be adjusted to make it more suitable for relatively simple features such as artificial punching sounds. At the same time, more sound samples of different types of punching tools and different operating methods can be collected to improve the classifier's recognition accuracy of artificial punching sounds.
[0100] When there are new samples of artificially punched sound annotations, both the SVM and CNN classifiers need to be optimized accordingly. The SVM re-solves the optimization problem to update the hyperplane parameters, and the CNN uses the new samples to perform back-propagation algorithm training to adjust the network weights. At the same time, the classification model needs to be adjusted according to the sound differences under different materials to improve the robustness of the model.
