The system realizes the functions of comprehensive monitoring, analysis, and information interaction of the moisture in the cable joint through the coordinated work of multiple modules. Core functions of each module Sensor module: It consists of a capacitive humidity sensor 5, an optical fiber sensor 6, and a microwave sensor 7. The capacitive humidity sensor 5 is installed on the positioning block 43, specifically inside the waterproof sleeve 41, to continuously monitor the ambient humidity in real time. The microwave sensor 7 is built into the insulating layer of the adapter 2 to detect internal moisture. The optical fiber sensor 6 is laid along the axis of the adapter 2 to continuously monitor the moisture distribution along the line, thereby perceiving the external moisture information. Signal processing module: It amplifies, filters, and performs analog-to-digital conversion on the analog signals collected by the sensors, converts them into digital signals, and then preliminarily analyzes and extracts features from the digital signals to prepare for subsequent data processing. Data fusion and analysis module: Using data fusion algorithms including but not limited to D-S evidence theory, Kalman filter, neural network, etc., to fuse the preprocessed multi-modal data, comprehensively analyze the relationship between different sensor data, and then extract accurate moisture information; Communication and display module: The communication module is responsible for data transmission with the remote monitoring center to obtain the moisture detection data and status information of the cable joint; The display module uses a liquid crystal display or a touch screen to real-time display the moisture detection results, status evaluation information, and historical data curves of the cable joint; System working process Data acquisition: The capacitive humidity sensor 5, fiber optic sensor 6, and microwave sensor 7 in the sensor module work simultaneously to collect analog signals related to moisture from the external environment, along-line position, and internal structure of the cable joint respectively. These analog signals constitute the original data; Signal preprocessing: The analog signals collected by the sensor are transmitted to the signal processing module. This module sequentially performs amplification, filtering, and analog-to-digital conversion operations on the signals, and conducts preliminary analysis and feature extraction on the converted digital signals. The processed feature data will be transmitted to the next module; Data fusion and analysis: The data fusion and analysis module receives the multi-modal feature data output by the signal processing module, performs deep fusion using the selected data fusion algorithm, and then obtains more accurate moisture information through analysis to evaluate the moisture condition of the cable joint; Data transmission and display: The moisture detection results, status evaluation information, etc. generated by the data fusion and analysis module are transmitted to the communication and display module. The communication module sends the data to the remote monitoring center, and the display module presents the relevant information in an intuitive way for the convenience of the staff to view.

[0024] Example 3: According to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the sensor module is used to sense the external moisture information, integrating a capacitive humidity sensor, a microwave sensor, and a fiber optic sensor. The capacitive humidity sensor, based on the principle that water molecules change the dielectric constant and cause a change in capacitance value, real-time monitors the environmental humidity inside the outer protective layer of the cable joint, and can quickly capture the humidity fluctuations caused by water intrusion, providing preliminary clues for moisture detection; The microwave sensor adopts an embedded design and is embedded in the insulation layer of the cable joint. Using the characteristics of microwave reflection, refraction, and absorption when encountering water, it performs non-contact detection on the hidden moisture inside the cable joint, and can accurately obtain the content and distribution of internal moisture; The fiber optic sensor is laid along the axial direction of the cable joint. Based on the principle that the physical properties of the optical fiber affect the optical signal with the change of humidity or moisture, it realizes continuous monitoring of the moisture distribution along the cable joint, especially suitable for long-distance cable lines, and can timely detect moisture anomalies at different positions along the line; The signal processing module is used to pre-process the analog signals collected by the sensor. Since the original signals collected by the sensor are usually weak and susceptible to noise interference, the signal processing module first amplifies them to enhance the signal strength for subsequent processing, and then removes noise and clutter in the signal through filtering technology to improve the signal quality. Finally, the analog signal is converted into a digital signal for easy processing by the computer system. In addition, the module also performs preliminary analysis and feature extraction on the digital signal to extract key feature information related to moisture, laying the foundation for subsequent data fusion and analysis, and ensuring that the data input to the next link is accurate and effective; The data fusion and analysis module uses data fusion algorithms, such as DS evidence theory, Kalman filtering, neural networks, etc., to perform deep fusion processing on the multimodal data output by the signal processing module. These algorithms can comprehensively analyze the relationship between different sensor data, explore the potential information behind the data, integrate the moisture information from different sensors, eliminate the contradictions and redundancies between data, and extract more accurate and comprehensive moisture information. At the same time, through the established cable joint moisture status assessment model, the moisture status of the cable joint is evaluated and predicted in real time to determine whether there is a risk of moisture intrusion and the severity of the risk, providing a scientific basis for subsequent decision-making and early warning; The communication and display module is used for information exchange between the device and the outside world. The communication module supports multiple communication methods, including wireless communication Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G / 5G, etc. and wired communication Ethernet, RS-485, etc. It can establish a stable data transmission channel with the remote monitoring center, and send the moisture detection data and status assessment information of the cable joint to the remote monitoring center in real time, so that the staff can remotely grasp the operating status of the cable joint and realize remote monitoring and management. The display module uses an LCD screen or a touch screen to display the moisture detection results, status assessment information and historical data curves of the cable joint in real time in an intuitive and easy-to-understand manner, so that on-site staff can quickly understand the current status and historical change trends of the cable joint without the help of other equipment, so as to find problems in time and take corresponding measures.

[0025] 1. Data Collection Phase The capacitive humidity sensor, microwave sensor and optical fiber sensor in the sensor module work simultaneously, respectively collecting analog signals related to moisture from the external environment, internal structure and position along the cable joint. For example, when moisture penetrates into the outside of the cable joint, the capacitive humidity sensor will first sense the change in environmental humidity and convert it into an analog electrical signal; if there is moisture inside, the microwave sensor will capture the change in microwave signal and output the corresponding analog signal; the optical fiber sensor continuously monitors the moisture distribution along the line and converts the change in optical signal into an analog electrical signal. These analog signals constitute the original data source for the device to detect moisture. 2. Signal Processing Stage After the analog signal output by the sensor module is transmitted to the signal processing module, the signal processing module immediately performs amplification, filtering, and analog-to-digital conversion operations on it. The amplification operation enhances the weak analog signal to an appropriate amplitude for subsequent processing; the filtering process effectively removes noise and interference in the signal, improving the signal purity; the analog-to-digital conversion converts the analog signal into a digital signal that can be recognized and processed by a computer. Subsequently, the signal processing module conducts preliminary analysis and feature extraction on the digital signal, screening out feature data closely related to moisture detection, such as the humidity change rate, the attenuation degree of the microwave signal, the phase offset of the optical signal, etc., and transmits the processed feature data to the data fusion and analysis module; III. Data Fusion and Analysis Stage After receiving the multi-modal feature data from the signal processing module, the data fusion and analysis module performs deep fusion using the selected data fusion algorithm. Taking the D-S evidence theory as an example, this algorithm combines multiple evidences by calculating the credibility distribution of different sensor data to obtain a more reliable moisture detection result; or uses the neural network algorithm to learn the mapping relationship between multi-modal data and the moisture state through training the model to achieve accurate assessment of the moisture condition. The fused data is then input into the cable joint moisture state assessment model. The model, according to the preset rules and algorithms, conducts real-time assessment and prediction of the moisture condition of the cable joint, judges whether there is a risk of moisture intrusion and the risk level, and generates corresponding assessment reports and warning messages; IV. Data Transmission and Display Stage The moisture detection results, status assessment information, and warning messages generated by the data fusion and analysis module are transmitted to the communication and display module. The communication module packages these information according to the pre-set communication protocol and sends them to the remote monitoring center through wireless or wired communication methods, enabling remote staff to obtain the operating status of the cable joint in a timely manner for corresponding decision-making. At the same time, the display module presents the received information in an intuitive interface, such as presenting the moisture detection value, risk level indicator, and historical data change curve in the form of numbers and charts on the liquid crystal display, facilitating on-site staff to quickly understand the moisture condition of the cable joint. If a warning message appears, on-site personnel can immediately take measures for processing.

[0026] Example 4: The D-S evidence theory is a data fusion method based on evidence reasoning. It deals with uncertainties by assigning degrees of belief to evidence. In the moisture detection of cable joints, each sensor is regarded as an evidence body. First, according to the historical data, accuracy indicators, and performance in different environments of the sensors, a basic probability assignment (BPA) is assigned to the data collected by each sensor, indicating the degree of support of the sensor data for different moisture states such as dry, slightly damp, severely damp, etc. For example, a capacitive humidity sensor is relatively accurate in detecting changes in environmental humidity, and a higher BPA can be given to its judgment of moisture states related to environmental humidity;Microwave sensors have a strong ability to detect internal moisture. When judging the internal moisture condition, the Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) is relatively high. Then, using the D-S combination rule, the BPAs of multiple sensors are combined. This rule redistributes the credibility of different evidences by calculating the degree of conflict between evidences, thereby obtaining the combined credibility assignment result. When multiple sensors support a certain moisture state, the combined credibility will increase significantly. If there are conflicting evidences, a more reasonable judgment of the moisture state is obtained through comprehensive consideration according to the combination rule, so as to achieve a more reliable assessment of the moisture condition of cable joints. Kalman filtering is a recursive estimation algorithm used to process data in dynamic systems and is suitable for dealing with the situation where sensor data changes over time. In the scenario of cable joint moisture detection, the measurement value of each sensor is regarded as an observation of the moisture state of the cable joint. First, based on the physical model of the moisture change of the cable joint, a state equation and an observation equation are established to describe the change law of the moisture state over time and the relationship between the sensor measurement value and the actual moisture state. In each data fusion, Kalman filtering first predicts the moisture state at the current moment according to the state estimate value at the previous moment and the state transition equation. Then, the measurement values of each sensor at the current moment are compared with the predicted value, and the measurement error is calculated. The predicted value is adjusted through the Kalman gain to make it closer to the actual measurement value, so as to obtain a more accurate moisture state estimate value at the current moment. As time goes by, the estimation of the moisture state is continuously optimized to achieve dynamic and accurate monitoring of the moisture condition of cable joints. Neural networks have powerful non-linear mapping and learning abilities and can be used for multi-modal data fusion. First, a suitable neural network structure, such as a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) or a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), is constructed. The preprocessed multi-modal data is used as the input of the neural network. The data can be sensor measurement values, extracted feature values, etc. For example, the capacitance change value of a capacitive humidity sensor, the signal parameter change value of a microwave sensor, and the optical signal feature value of an optical fiber sensor are input into the neural network together. Then, the neural network is trained using a large number of sample data with known moisture states of cable joints. During the training process, the neural network learns the complex mapping relationship between multi-modal data and the moisture state of cable joints by adjusting the internal weights and thresholds. After training, when new multi-modal data is input, the neural network can quickly output the combined moisture state assessment result. The neural network can automatically learn the potential rules and features in the data, efficiently fuse complex multi-modal data, and improve the accuracy and adaptability of moisture detection. In practical applications, according to the specific requirements and data characteristics of cable joints, a single algorithm or a combination of multiple algorithms can be selected for data fusion processing. For example, Kalman filtering is first used to preliminarily process time series data, then the neural network is used to further mine data features, and finally the D-S evidence theory is used to comprehensively judge the results of different algorithms to achieve a more accurate assessment effect of the moisture condition of cable joints.;
