The acquisition end of the camera 31 is aimed at the contraction section of the Parshall trough 11, and the camera 31 is used to acquire the image of the contraction section of the Parshall trough 11 in real time; the control module 4 is communicated with the flow measurement module 2 and the image acquisition module 3, and the control module 4 is used to calculate the measurement difference between the flow data measured by the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 and the flow data measured by the flow sensor 22. If the measurement difference exceeds the preset flow threshold, online calibration is performed and an alarm is issued; the control module 4 is also used to determine the volume of the interference object based on the image data collected by the camera 31. If the volume of the interference object exceeds the preset volume threshold, an alarm is issued.

[0043] The Parshall flume 11 comprises a contraction section, a throat section and a diffusion section. Water flows sequentially from the contraction section to the throat section, then to the diffusion section, and finally flows from the diffusion section into the connecting pipe 12 .

[0044] The flow sensor 22 is an electromagnetic flow sensor 22, which is used to measure the instantaneous flow rate and volume flow rate of the conductive liquid and the slurry. Among them, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 is used to measure the real-time flow rate of the contraction section of the Parshall trough 11, and the electromagnetic flow sensor 22 is used to measure the real-time flow rate of the connecting pipe 12, ensuring that the flow measurement module 2 can accurately obtain the flow information in the open channel 1.

[0045] The camera 31 is a high-definition camera 31 and can rotate 360 ​​degrees. The camera 31 can obtain the visual information inside the water tank in real time and provide raw data for subsequent identification. The acquisition end of the camera 31 needs to be aimed at the contraction section of the Parshall tank 11, and in particular, the position and angle of the camera 31 need to ensure that it can cover the contraction section area in the Parshall tank 11 that may disrupt the accurate measurement of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21.

[0046] The control module 4 can be installed externally. In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control module 4 is installed on the side of the open channel 1. Preferably, the control module 4 is installed on the side of the diffusion section of the Parshall trough 11. The control module 4 can be connected to the ultrasonic level sensor 21, the flow sensor 22 and the camera 31 through wires. In actual use, the alarms of the flow measurement module 2 and the image acquisition module 3 are separate alarms.

[0047] On the one hand, the technical solution of the present application is provided with a flow sensor 22 and an ultrasonic level sensor 21. When the measurement difference between the two exceeds a preset flow threshold, an online calibration is performed and an alarm is triggered. Thus, real-time calibration can be performed to meet the needs of online continuous measurement. On the other hand, an image acquisition module 3 is provided to specifically acquire the image of the contraction section of the Parshall flume 11. Under the action of the image acquisition module 3, interferences in the contraction section of the Parshall flume 11 can be effectively monitored to avoid interference of interferences with the ultrasonic level sensor 21, thereby ensuring the measurement accuracy and stability of the ultrasonic level sensor 21, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the flow measurement in the open channel 1.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 2 As shown, the image acquisition module 3 includes two cameras 31 , and the two cameras 31 are respectively installed on both sides of the contraction section of the Parshall cell 11 .

[0049] By arranging two cameras 31 to cooperate with each other, the image of the contraction section of the Parshall cell 11 can be more completely collected. In addition, when one of the cameras 31 fails, the other camera 31 can be guaranteed to collect normally.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, the preset flow threshold is optionally ±2%. Preferably, the preset flow threshold is set to ±2%. In other embodiments, the preset flow threshold can be set according to the size of the open channel 1 and the installation position of the flow measurement module 2.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the preset volume threshold is 1 / 10 of the width of the ultrasonic beam emitted by the ultrasonic liquid level sensor or 10% of the area of ​​the contraction section of the Parshall cell 11 .

[0052] When the diameter (or maximum linear dimension) of a single object exceeds 1 / 10 of the width of the ultrasonic beam emitted by the ultrasonic level meter, larger floating objects will block or scatter the ultrasonic signal, changing the direction and intensity of the reflected wave; when the area occupied by the floating object exceeds 10% of the area of ​​the contraction section of the Parshall cell 11, the probability of the ultrasonic signal being disturbed during the reflection process will greatly increase, resulting in an increase in the liquid level measurement error. Therefore, it is preferred to set the preset volume threshold to 1 / 10 of the width of the ultrasonic beam emitted by the ultrasonic level sensor or 10% of the area of ​​the contraction section of the Parshall cell 11.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 3 As shown, the diameter of the connecting pipe is D, and the distance between the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 and the flow sensor 22 is 10D.

[0054] By setting the distance between the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 and the flow sensor 22 to 10D, the influence of the upstream flow field disturbance on the downstream electromagnetic flow sensor 22 is reduced.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 is installed at one-third of the contraction section of the Parshall cell 11 , and the camera 31 is located at the front end of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 .

[0056] By installing the camera 31 at the front end of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 , the acquisition end of the camera 31 can cover the contraction section area in the Parshall cell 11 that may disturb the accurate measurement of the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 .

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, Figure 4 As shown, the control module 4 includes a control panel 41 and a display screen 42 , and the display screen 42 is mounted on the control panel 41 .

[0058] The display screen 42 can display the measurement data of the flow measurement module 2 and the image data collected by the image acquisition module 3 in real time. The control module 4 also includes a data processing center, which can process the data measured by the flow measurement module 2 and the image data collected by the image acquisition module 3. In some embodiments, the control module 4 also includes a button 43, through which a preset flow threshold, a preset volume threshold, or switching different interfaces can be adjusted. In other embodiments, the control module 4 also includes an alarm, and the control module 4 issues an alarm through the alarm.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the open channel online warning system 100 based on ultrasonic electromagnetic technology also includes a host computer, which is communicatively connected to the control module 4.

[0060] The host computer can be a computer or a remote monitoring center. The alarm issued by the control module 4 can be notified to the staff through the host computer, and the staff can take measures according to the alarm. Optionally, the alarm issued when the measured difference exceeds the preset flow threshold is different from the alarm issued when the volume of the interference exceeds the preset volume threshold, which can be different lights or different broadcast contents.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 6 This embodiment also relates to an open channel 1 online early warning method based on ultrasonic electromagnetic technology, including an open channel online early warning system 100 based on ultrasonic electromagnetic technology, and further comprising the following steps:

[0062] S01: An ultrasonic level sensor 21 and a camera 31 are installed at the contraction section of the Parshall cell 11, and a flow sensor 22 is installed on the connecting pipe 12;

[0063] S02: Initializing the open channel online early warning system 100 based on ultrasonic electromagnetic technology, including inputting geometric parameters of the open channel 1, setting a preset flow threshold, and setting a preset volume threshold;

[0064] S03: When the open channel 1 operates normally, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor 21 and the flow sensor 22 collect flow data in real time and transmit the collected flow data to the control module 4. The control module 4 calculates the measurement difference using an error discrimination algorithm. When the measurement difference is within a normal range, normal measurement continues. When the measurement difference exceeds a preset flow threshold, the calibration program is started to perform online calibration on the flow measurement module 2 and trigger an alarm. At the same time, the camera 31 collects image data of the contraction section of the Parshall trough 11 in real time and transmits the collected image data to the control module 4. The control module 4 preprocesses and extracts features from the collected image data and determines the volume of the interference object based on the recognition results. When the volume of the interference object is within a normal range, normal collection continues. When the volume of the interference object exceeds the preset volume threshold, an alarm is issued.

[0065] After step S03, step S04 is also included: the control module 4 transmits the processed flow data to the host computer through the communication module, and the host computer stores and analyzes the data after receiving the data.

[0066] In step S03, it should be emphasized that the image collected by the camera 31 will be affected by factors such as illumination, water wave reflection, and image noise. Therefore, the image needs to be preprocessed. The preprocessing process includes grayscale processing (because the original image collected by the camera is a color image, it needs to be converted into a grayscale image to simplify subsequent processing and reduce the amount of data) and contrast enhancement operations to improve image quality and make the features of the interference objects in the image more obvious. Afterwards, computer vision technology is used to extract features from the preprocessed image. Specifically, the shape features, edge contours, and texture features of objects (bottle caps, branches and leaves, plastic bags, duckweed, etc.). For shape feature extraction, the shape feature extraction algorithm uses Hu moment invariants. When identifying different shapes of interference objects in the sink, Hu moment invariants can help distinguish between round plastic bottles and square foam boards, etc.; edge detection algorithms are used, and Canny edge detection is used to obtain the edge contours of objects; surface texture features can use the grayscale co-occurrence matrix method to describe textures, and a variety of texture features can be extracted from the co-occurrence matrix, such as contrast, correlation, energy, and entropy. These texture features can be used to distinguish different texture patterns, and to distinguish smooth water surfaces from water surfaces with debris. Finally, the control module 4 determines the volume of the interference object based on the recognition result. When the volume of the interference object is within the normal range, normal collection continues; when the volume of the interference object exceeds the preset volume threshold, an alarm is issued. Among them, the alarm information can be sent to the on-site staff or the host computer so that cleaning or other countermeasures can be taken in time.

[0067] It should be noted that, although the above embodiments have been described in this article, the patent protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby. Therefore, based on the innovative concept of the present invention, changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein, or equivalent structures or equivalent process changes made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.

An open channel online early warning method based on ultrasonic electromagnetic technology, characterized in that: The open channel online early warning system based on ultrasonic electromagnetic technology as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 9 further comprises the following steps: S01: The ultrasonic liquid level sensor and the camera are installed at the contraction section of the Parshall cell, and the flow sensor is installed on the connecting pipe; S02: Initializing and setting the open channel online early warning system based on ultrasonic electromagnetic technology, including inputting geometric parameters of the open channel, setting a preset flow threshold, and setting a preset volume threshold; S03: When the open channel operates normally, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor and the flow sensor collect flow data in real time, and transmit the collected flow data to the control module. The control module calculates the measurement difference using an error discrimination algorithm. When the measurement difference is within a normal range, normal measurement continues. When the measurement difference exceeds a preset flow threshold, the calibration program is started to perform online calibration on the flow measurement module, and an alarm is triggered at the same time. At the same time, the camera collects image data of the contraction section of the Parshall trough in real time, and transmits the collected image data to the control module. The control module preprocesses and extracts features from the collected image data and determines the volume of the interference object based on the recognition results. When the volume of the interference object is within a normal range, normal collection continues. When the volume of the interference object exceeds the preset volume threshold, an alarm is sounded.
