Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tunnel leakage, and particularly relates to an in-situ detection system and method for water conveyance tunnel leakage. Background Art

[0002] Water conveyance tunnels are key control nodes of major cross-basin water diversion projects, and play an important role in solving regional water resource imbalance problems, optimizing water resource allocation, etc.

[0003] Existing water conveyance tunnel leakage detection technologies mainly include magnetoelectric method and fiber optic sensing method. The geological environment of water conveyance tunnels is complex, the climate is humid, and they are mostly subjected to long-term dynamic loads. Among them, since the magnetoelectric method is a static detection method, it is difficult to capture dynamic changes such as temperature changes caused by humid climate and load changes caused by dynamic loads, resulting in incomplete monitoring; moreover, the humid climate will cause the measurement results of the magnetoelectric method to be distorted. In addition, due to the large interference of the fiber optic sensing method by temperature gradient, it is easy to have temperature-induced fluctuations in fiber strain, resulting in an increase in monitoring error. Therefore, a single method among the above two methods cannot meet the comprehensive monitoring requirements.

[0004] If the two methods are used separately to monitor the water conveyance tunnel, the differences in data scale, physical dimension, and data acquisition frequency between the two will all affect the monitoring effect, resulting in the inability to fuse the data of the two and unable to obtain an ideal monitoring effect by combining the data of the two.

[0005] Therefore, based on the integration of fiber optic sensing technology and magnetoelectric detection technology, the present solution proposes an in-situ detection system and method for water conveyance tunnel leakage to solve the problem of data fusion between the two and achieve the monitoring effect. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes an in-situ detection system and method for water conveyance tunnel leakage, which can fuse the data of the two and achieve the monitoring effect.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present solution adopts the following technical content: An in-situ detection system for water conveyance tunnel leakage includes the following structures: A current transmitter, whose input end and output end are respectively connected to a grounding electrode through wires, and the two grounding electrodes are located directly above the water conveyance culvert and vertically inserted into the ground; A storage battery for supplying power to the current transmitter; A magnetometer is arranged on the ground surface directly above the water conveyance culvert for monitoring the total magnetic field intensity; and calculating abnormal magnetic field data based on the total magnetic field intensity; Multiple optical fiber temperature sensors and optical fiber strain sensors are arranged in the concrete of the water conveyance tunnel under construction, or are arranged on the inner wall of the concrete of the completed water conveyance tunnel through fixators; they are respectively used to monitor the temperature field data and strain field data of the water conveyance tunnel; A data acquisition module is used to acquire the monitored abnormal magnetic field data, temperature field data and strain field data; A data processing module is used to fuse the abnormal magnetic field data, temperature field data and strain field data by using unscented Kalman filter to generate optimized abnormal magnetic field data, temperature field data and strain field data.

[0008] Furthermore, the two grounding electrodes are arranged along the direction of the water conveyance culvert and are more than 10 m apart.

[0009] The distance between the two grounding electrodes is 10 m, which can avoid magnetic interference between the two grounding electrodes; it can make the current form a wider diffusion electric field in the soil. If the electrode spacing is too close, the current diffusion will be insufficient and the electric field distribution will be uneven, thus affecting the measurement accuracy of the potential difference.

[0010] Furthermore, the wire connecting the two grounding electrodes remains straight.

[0011] A bent wire may cause an increase in inductance, generate self-induced electromotive force when the current fluctuates, and affect the circuit stability. An energized wire will generate a magnetic field (Ampere's law), and its direction is perpendicular to the current direction. If the wire is bent, the local current direction change will cause additional magnetic field superposition, interfering with the magnetic field measurement in the target area. The magnetic field distribution of a straight wire is more uniform and easier to predict, which can reduce the influence of its own magnetic field on the measurement result.

[0012] Furthermore, the magnetometer is connected to an optoelectronic wave intelligent detector. The optoelectronic wave intelligent detector is equipped with a 4G / 5G module. The optoelectronic wave intelligent detector is connected to a cloud platform and can upload the monitored abnormal magnetic field data to the cloud platform.

[0013] It can achieve efficient transmission, real-time feedback of detection results, realize large-scale collaborative detection, and improve efficiency.

[0014] Furthermore, a method for in-situ detection of water leakage in a water conveyance tunnel, based on an in-situ detection system for water leakage in a water conveyance tunnel as claimed in claim 3, is characterized by comprising the following steps: S1: Synchronously collect abnormal magnetic field data, temperature field data and strain field data and preprocess them; S2: Generate sigma points according to the data in S1; The formula is:

[0020] S5: Based on the scoring table and the expert scoring principle, obtain the total score of each data; then, based on the status table of the water conveyance culvert and in combination with the total score, determine the health status of the water conveyance culvert.

The two grounding electrodes 5 are located directly above the water conveyance culvert and vertically inserted into the ground. The two grounding electrodes 5 are arranged along the direction of the water conveyance culvert and are more than 10 m apart. Based on this, the influence of the magnetic field excited by the current in the wire on the detection result can be reduced. The output terminal and input terminal of the current transmitter 1 form a loop current in the ground, thereby generating an excitation magnetic field.

[0036] The cloud platform is equipped with a data acquisition module and a data processing module. The data acquisition module includes the aforementioned optoelectronic wave intelligent detector. The data acquisition module uses a GPS timing module (accuracy ±1μs) to synchronize the clocks of all sensors through the NTP protocol, ensuring that the timestamp error of multi-source data is <50ms. The fiber optic sensor and the magnetometer are spatially aligned according to the geographical position coordinates. The data acquisition module simultaneously collects the abnormal magnetic field data, temperature field data, and strain field data monitored by the corresponding sensors above, and sends them to the data processing module; the data processing module uses the unscented Kalman filter to process and fuse the above data to generate the quantities corresponding to the above data, which are represented by the letters respectively, where represents the optimized strain; represents the optimized temperature; represents the abnormal magnetic field intensity. Through the existing scoring table, obtain the respective scoring values, denoted as P1, P2, and P3.
