Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of extremely low frequency communication, and in particular to an in-tube communication unit and a signal transmission method based on a rotating permanent magnet. Background Art

[0002] As pipeline systems are widely used in industries such as industry, petrochemicals, and water conservancy, the demand for real-time monitoring and data transmission is growing. Traditional pipeline monitoring and communication methods have problems such as information transmission delay and low security, so there is an urgent need for an efficient and secure communication system inside and outside the pipeline.

[0003] General oil and gas pipelines are made of metal alloys such as iron, steel and aluminum, which are good conductor media. Due to the skin effect of metal, such materials have a strong shielding effect on electromagnetic signals in conventional frequency bands, resulting in electromagnetic wave signals in conventional frequency bands being unable to penetrate the pipe wall and reach the inside of the pipe. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve wireless communication inside and outside the pipe.

[0004] In the research on communication inside and outside metal pipelines, the penetration of electromagnetic wave signals into metal is related to their frequency. Electromagnetic wave frequencies in the range of 0-30Hz are called extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic wave signals. Extremely low frequency electromagnetic wave signals have extremely long wavelengths and strong penetrating power, and can penetrate rocks and metal pipe walls of a certain thickness.

[0005] Traditional transmitting antennas are affected by the matching of signal wavelength and antenna size, resulting in large size and low radiation efficiency due to impedance matching and bandwidth limitations. In environments with limited space such as oil and gas pipelines, traditional communication units are often large in size and complex in layout, which limits their application.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6 An intra-tube communication unit based on rotating permanent magnets is shown, comprising a shell, a drive control component, a permanent magnet fixing component and a cylindrical radially magnetized permanent magnet 501. Along the axial direction of the shell, the drive control component and the permanent magnet fixing component are arranged in the shell, the drive control component is connected to the permanent magnet fixing component, and the drive control component can drive the permanent magnet fixing component to rotate inside the shell. The cylindrical radially magnetized permanent magnet 501 is radially fixed in the permanent magnet fixing component. When the permanent magnet fixing component rotates inside the shell, the cylindrical radially magnetized permanent magnet 501 rotates synchronously with it.

[0028] The housing includes a sleeve 101, a leather cup 102 and a fixed bracket 3. The leather cup 102 is sleeved on the outer ring of the sleeve 101 and connected by bolts. Along the axial direction of the sleeve 101, the drive control component is fixed on the fixed bracket 3, and the permanent magnet fixed component is connected to the drive control component. Furthermore, the sleeve 101 and the leather cup 102 are determined according to the dimensional parameters such as the outer diameter and wall thickness of the pipeline in actual working conditions, and the material of the sleeve 101 is aluminum. The leather cup 102 supports the in-pipe communication unit and the cleaning pipeline 7 based on the rotating permanent magnet, and carries the driving force of the fluid in the pipe 7.

[0029] Continue to refer to Figure 2-4 As shown, the drive control component includes a modulation controller 201, a drive motor 202 and a coupling 4. The modulation controller 201 is connected to the drive motor 202, and the drive motor 202 is connected to the permanent magnet fixing component through the coupling 4.

[0030] The drive motor 202 uses a 24V or 48V servo control motor, the diameter of the drive motor 202 is smaller than the inner diameter of the housing aluminum sleeve 101, and the drive motor 202 can be adjusted in real time by the modulation controller 201, and the acceleration and deceleration time is less than 50ms. The modulation controller 201 is connected to the drive motor 202 through a connecting harness.

[0031] The fixing bracket 3 is used for circumferentially driving the motor 202 and the modulation controller 201 inside the shell, and the size of the fixing bracket 3 is determined by the inner diameter of the aluminum sleeve 101 and the diameter of the driving motor 202 .

[0032] Continue to refer to Figure 2-4As shown, the permanent magnet fixing assembly includes a first clamping cover 504, a second clamping cover 502, a first bearing 601, a second bearing 602 and a rotating shaft 503. The first clamping cover 504 is provided with a rotating shaft mounting threaded hole, and the rotating shaft 503 is provided in the rotating shaft mounting threaded hole. The rotating shaft 503 is connected to the coupling 4. The first clamping cover 504 and the second clamping cover 502 are connected by bolts to form a cavity. The radial direction of the cylindrical radially magnetized permanent magnet 501 is fixed in the cavity. The first clamping cover 504 is connected to the sleeve 101 through the first bearing 601, and the second clamping cover 502 is connected to the sleeve 101 through the second bearing 602.

[0033] The cylindrical radially magnetized permanent magnet 501 is made of neodymium iron boron material, and the first clamping cover 504, the second clamping cover 502 and the rotating shaft 503 are made of aluminum alloy non-magnetic material.

[0034] The sizes of the first bearing 601 and the second bearing 602 are determined by the inner diameter of the aluminum sleeve 101 and the outer diameters of the first clamping cover 504 and the second clamping cover 502 , respectively.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when working, after the modulation controller 202 receives the communication signal from the controller 10, it encodes and modulates the output information to control the speed of the drive motor 201, thereby controlling the rotation of the cylindrical radial magnetized permanent magnet 501. The N and S poles of the cylindrical radial magnetized permanent magnet 501 change positions continuously during rotation, forming a rotating magnetic field in space, and generating electromagnetic waves containing relevant information by adjusting the rotation frequency. After the receiver outside the pipeline 7 receives the relevant signal, it demodulates and decodes the information to obtain information about the operating status of the equipment in the pipeline 7. This type of electromagnetic wave has the characteristics of low frequency and long wavelength, so it has strong penetration ability and can work well in metal pipelines.

[0036] The external host computer 8 and the external communication unit 9 send information instructions to the internal communication unit 11 based on the rotating permanent magnet in this embodiment. The internal communication unit 11 based on the rotating permanent magnet receives the instructions and sends the instructions to the internal control unit 10. The internal control unit 10 controls the occluder to start blocking. After the blocking operation is completed, the internal control unit 10 feeds back the operation completion information to the internal communication unit 11 based on the rotating permanent magnet. The internal communication unit 11 based on the rotating permanent magnet sends feedback instructions to the outside of the pipe. The external host computer 8 receives the feedback instructions, thereby realizing two-way communication inside and outside the pipeline 7.

[0037] Example 2 Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a method for signal transmission using an in-pipe communication unit based on a rotating permanent magnet is provided in the pipe 7, wherein an in-pipe communication unit 11 based on a rotating permanent magnet and an in-pipe control unit 10 are provided in the pipe 7, and an external host computer 8 and an external communication unit 9 are provided outside the pipe 7. The in-pipe communication unit 11 based on a rotating permanent magnet is as shown in Example 1, and specifically comprises the following steps: Step S1: The external host computer 8 is connected to the external communication unit 9. The external host computer 8 encodes the command for starting the sealing of the plugger in the pipeline 7, and writes the coded instruction into the main control chip of the external communication unit 9. The main control chip modulates the coded instruction into electromagnetic wave signals of different frequencies. The external communication unit 9 has two modules, signal transmission and signal reception. The signal is generated by the electromagnetic generator in the signal transmission module and then transmitted through the copper spiral coil antenna.

[0038] Step S2: The modulation controller 201 receives the electromagnetic signal penetrating the pipe wall of the pipe 7 through the antenna and demodulates it again into the coded instruction information.

[0039] Step S3: the command information in the in-tube communication unit 11 based on the rotating permanent magnet is sent to the in-tube control unit 10 through the CAN bus 12. After receiving the command information, the in-tube control unit 10 controls the occluder to start setting.

[0040] Step S4: After the sealing is completed, the control unit 10 in the pipe sends the sealing completion feedback information to the communication unit 11 in the pipe based on the rotating permanent magnet through the CAN bus 12.

[0041] Step S5: the in-tube modulation controller 201 modulates the feedback information into electromagnetic wave signals of different frequencies, controls the drive motor 202 to rotate at different speeds, and the rotation of the drive motor 202 drives the cylindrical radially magnetized permanent magnet 501 to rotate, thereby emitting electromagnetic wave signals.

[0042] Step S6: After the signal receiving module of the external communication unit 9 receives the signal, its main control chip demodulates the electromagnetic wave signal into feedback instruction information and transmits it to the external host computer 8, thereby realizing two-way communication between the inside and outside of the pipeline 7.

[0043] The traditional electromagnetic generator has poor stability and high deviation of the transmitted signal frequency. The ultra-low frequency electromagnetic wave transmitting antenna is large in size and weight and is not suitable for use in pipelines with narrow internal space. The structure and appearance of the present invention is a pipe cleaner or plugger unit type, which can be directly carried by the pipe cleaner or plugger in the pipe, is easy to assemble, and has good spatial adaptability.

[0044] The present invention uses a rotating permanent magnet transmitter to generate electromagnetic waves through a rotating magnetic field without the need for a conventional electromagnetic wave generator. Compared with conventional transmitters, it can achieve high-efficiency and high-stability transmission of electromagnetic waves through the rotation of a small-volume permanent magnet. It has a simpler and more compact structure, reduces parts, and is easy to implement and maintain. No additional energy is required to drive the electromagnetic oscillator, so it can save energy and reduce energy consumption.

[0045] The present invention adjusts the rotating magnetic field characteristics by the rotation speed, and can realize flexible adjustment of the transmission signal frequency to meet different communication or radar requirements. By using the rotating magnetic field to generate electromagnetic waves, this transmitter can reduce external electromagnetic interference to a certain extent and improve the system's anti-interference ability. This new electromagnetic wave generation technology is expected to promote technological innovation and development in the fields of communication and radar. Using a rotating permanent magnet as a signal source has many advantages. It can create a stable signal source, and compared with traditional equipment, the design and maintenance costs may be lower, and there is no energy loss such as resistance, while improving the overall performance and rate of the communication system.
