Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline network leakage calculation, and particularly relates to a water supply pipeline network leakage management system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of cities, the water supply pipeline network is constantly extending and expanding. The leakage problem of the water supply pipeline network has always been a key problem that needs to be strengthened and controlled. In the management of urban water supply pipeline networks, leakage control is of great significance. The traditional leakage control method is based on passive leak detection methods, and leakage can only be discovered and repaired when it becomes visible. With the development of technology, different leak detection instruments have been gradually developed, and some listening instruments can help operators find invisible leaks. However, applying such methods to large-scale water supply pipeline networks is very labor-intensive, material-intensive, and costly.
[0003] In order to more effectively identify invisible leaks, various model-based methods have been proposed in the prior art to assist in leak identification. The core data required for model-based leak detection methods are flow and pressure data in the pipeline network model. Leak detection methods often compare the water volume of mechanical water meters with the water volume of the main water supply pipe. However, it is unrealistic to obtain all data of all nodes in the actual pipeline network. In actual use, it is often affected by the delay in meter reading. Only when users or water treatment plants find that the water consumption is too large can the leakage be discovered. Especially in the subsequent detection process, usually the branch water supply pipelines of the main water supply pipe are detected one by one, the detection workload is large, and the detection cost is extremely high.
[0004] The existing patent publication number "CN 113177691 A" discloses a pipeline network leakage analysis algorithm, which efficiently adjusts the reference quantity through the analysis and calculation of past data, and quickly adjusts according to water usage habits and seasonal changes, so as to further determine the abnormal water usage situation of the pipeline network, improve the convenience of measurement, and can initially improve the measurement accuracy of the leakage location and the detection efficiency by recording the working state of the household water meter and subsequent intermittent shutdowns, and it is convenient to combine with the pipeline network drawings for detection; however, in the above patent, the detection means for water supply pipeline network leakage are too single, which may lead to errors in the detection results. Moreover, in order to achieve uninterrupted real-time monitoring, the sensors used for monitoring need to sense the leakage situation in real time and upload it to the data server through a data transmitter. This solution has a large load during long-term operation of the equipment, high energy consumption, high requirements for the equipment, and increases the monitoring cost. Therefore, the present invention provides a water supply pipeline network leakage management system. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a water supply network leakage management system, which solves the problems that the existing detection means for water supply network leakage are too single, resulting in possible errors in the detection results, and for realizing uninterrupted real-time monitoring, the sensors used for monitoring need to sense the leakage situation in real time and upload it to the data server through a data transmitter. This solution has a large load during long-term operation of the equipment, high energy consumption, high requirements for the equipment, and increases the monitoring cost.

[0009] Preferably, in the weight distribution module, the number of pipeline nodes in the area affects the weight of the pressure monitoring method for leakage monitoring. The more the number of pipeline nodes, the greater the weight of the monitoring result of the pressure monitoring method in the leakage monitoring result; the living density of users at the pipeline network distribution location in the area affects the weight of the sound monitoring method for leakage monitoring. The greater the living density of users at the pipeline network distribution location, the smaller the weight of the monitoring result of the sound monitoring method in the leakage monitoring result; the size of the pipeline specifications in the area affects the weight of the flow monitoring method for leakage monitoring.

[0010] Preferably, each monitoring method calculates the weighted leakage rate within its assigned weight based on the leakage probability obtained by monitoring in the area. The sum of the weighted leakage rates of all monitoring methods is the final pipeline network leakage probability. If the final pipeline network leakage probability exceeds the threshold, a leakage signal is immediately output to the leakage decision module.
[0011] Preferably, in the zoning module, the average water pressure and average flow of each area are preset through the system data of past water consumption. The time point with the least water consumption is determined as the benchmark, and the water pressure and flow in the pipe network at multiple same time points are monitored.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By setting a weight distribution module, the present invention distributes the weights of the monitoring results of the three monitoring methods according to the pipe network distribution factors, improving the accuracy of the monitoring results, which is conducive to effectively monitoring the water leakage of the water supply pipe network in pipe network areas with different distribution factors. In the water transmission pipe area, due to the large pipe specifications, the water flow rate inside is large, and the flow monitoring method is more accurate for monitoring the water leakage of the water supply pipe. If there is a water leakage in the water transmission pipe area, the flow loss is obvious, and the water leakage situation can be detected quickly. In the water distribution pipe area, the location of the water distribution pipe is suitable for using the noise detection method to monitor the water leakage. The population density in the water distribution pipe area is low, which can reduce the influence of external noise on the monitoring, and the monitoring effect is better, so the weight it occupies is higher. In the stacked area, it is mainly used to provide water for users. Therefore, the stacked area is more sensitive to water pressure. Too low or too high water pressure will affect the water use of users. Therefore, the pressure monitoring method is more suitable for monitoring the water leakage in the stacked area.
[0017] 2. By simultaneously using the three monitoring methods to monitor water leakage in different areas, the present invention avoids problems that may occur in the monitoring process of a certain method. At the same time, by assigning weights to the monitoring methods according to the pipe network distribution factors in different areas, the accuracy of the monitoring is improved.

[0026] Preferably, in the weight distribution module, the number of pipeline nodes in the area affects the weight of the pressure monitoring method for leakage monitoring. The more the number of pipeline nodes, the greater the weight of the monitoring result of the pressure monitoring method in the leakage monitoring result; the user living density at the distribution location of the pipe network in the area affects the weight of the sound monitoring method for leakage monitoring. The greater the user living density at the distribution location of the pipe network, the smaller the weight of the monitoring result of the sound monitoring method in the leakage monitoring result; the size of the pipeline specification in the area affects the weight of the flow monitoring method for leakage monitoring. The larger the pipeline specification, the greater the weight of the monitoring result of the flow monitoring method in the leakage monitoring result; the initial weight of the monitoring results of each monitoring method in the leakage monitoring weight distribution in the area is one-third of the leakage monitoring result.
[0027] Preferably, each monitoring method calculates the weight leakage rate within its assigned weight according to the leakage probability obtained by monitoring in the area where it is located. The sum of the weight leakage rates of all monitoring methods is the final pipe network leakage probability. If the final pipe network leakage probability exceeds the threshold, a leakage signal is immediately output to the leakage decision-making module.

[0031] Preferably, the management system further includes a storage module, which is used to store the average pressure data and average flow data of each area, as well as the pipeline plane model data of each pipeline network, for the system administrator to access relevant data at any time.
[0032] Preferably, the positioning calculation of the leakage point in the leakage decision module includes the following: after the sound sensor captures the sound signal, it analyzes the signal to determine its source and characteristics. The signal attenuates during propagation, as shown in Equation (1), and the initial energy of the sound signal is calculated: (1) Where, is the initial energy of the sound signal; is the density of the signal propagation medium; is the propagation speed of the sound wave in the medium; A is the amplitude of the sound wave; At the same time, considering the geometric attenuation and medium absorption attenuation of the sound signal, the attenuation of the signal sound wave is calculated as shown in Equation (2): (2) Where, is the sound wave intensity at a distance r from the sound source; is the initial sound wave intensity at a distance from the sound source; e is the geometric attenuation coefficient; is the medium absorption coefficient; x is the distance that the sound wave propagates, is the distance from the reference point to the sound source; r is the distance from the current point to the sound source; According to the calculation result of Equation (2), combined with the sound wave intensity of the received signal, the energy of the received sound signal is calculated, as shown in Equation (3): (3) Where, is the energy of the received sound signal; is the received sound wave intensity; t is the duration of the sound wave; is the effective area of the receiver; Combining equations (1)-(3), the sound return signal considering attenuation is obtained as shown in equation (4): (4) where, is the energy of the sound return signal considering attenuation, and d is the distance from the sound source to the leakage point.
[0033] During the process of monitoring the leakage area of the water supply pipe network, in order to distinguish the background noise from the real leakage signal, a signal intensity threshold needs to be set. This threshold is usually determined based on the average intensity of the background noise plus a fixed offset. The formula for setting the leakage signal intensity threshold is shown in equation (5): (5) where, T is the intensity threshold of the leakage signal, is the average intensity of the background noise, and k is an empirical coefficient used to adjust the sensitivity of the threshold, is the standard deviation of the background noise.
[0034] When multiple sensors are integrated at different positions of the pipe network, there will be a difference in the time when the leakage signal reaches the sensors. Using the time difference, the position of the leakage point can be calculated. The time difference positioning formula is shown in equation (6): (6) where, D is the time positioning difference; are the distances from the leakage point to the two sensors; Through multiple time difference measurements, the triangulation method can be used to accurately determine the position of the leakage point.
[0035] On this basis, if the initial energy of the leakage signal and the energy received at different positions are known, the position of the leakage point can be inverted using the energy attenuation formula to ensure the accuracy of the leakage point positioning result. The calculation formula for this process is shown in equation (7): (7) where, is the inversion result of the leakage point positioning.
[0036] If the positioning result is highly consistent with the inversion result, it proves that the leakage point result of the positioning is accurate. Through this method, the monitoring of the leakage area of the water supply pipe network and the rapid positioning of the leakage point are completed.
