Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tap water pipeline detection, in particular to a water leakage collection system for water pipelines. Background Art

[0002] In the rapidly developing modern world, water pipelines play a vital role in daily life and industrial activities. They are widely used in various fields, including urban water supply, farmland irrigation, industrial manufacturing, and domestic wastewater disposal. The integrity of pipeline systems is a key factor in ensuring the efficient use of water resources and environmental health.

[0003] However, long-term water pipelines can suffer from various types of damage. Pipeline materials can age over time, losing their original elasticity and toughness, and becoming more susceptible to temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, pipelines subjected to prolonged water pressure can experience fatigue accumulation, leading to the appearance of small cracks. These cracks can gradually expand under constant pressure cycling. Unpredictable external impacts, such as construction excavation, falling objects, or natural disasters, can also directly damage the pipeline system. Once a leak occurs, if it is not detected and addressed promptly, it will not only lead to extreme waste of water resources and the ineffective use of limited water resources, but the continuous water flow may also accelerate the erosion of the soil around the pipeline, causing a decrease in the pipeline's support and causing greater damage. Furthermore, the humid environment created by the leak is a breeding ground for pipeline corrosion, which over time can cause further damage to the pipeline, and in severe cases, even rupture, affecting the stability and safety of the entire water supply system.

[0004] Traditional methods of water leak detection mainly rely on regular inspections by staff. Due to the limitations of human detection, it is often difficult to detect problems in the first place, especially for underground or hidden pipes, where inspection is particularly difficult. Although some pipeline systems are currently equipped with monitoring equipment such as flow meters and pressure sensors, which can monitor changes in water flow and pressure in real time, it is still difficult to accurately locate the specific location of the leak based on these parameters alone. Especially in large and complex pipe networks, the precise location of the leak is a technical challenge. Furthermore, if the leaked water is not collected and treated in a timely manner, it will not only waste water resources, but may also pollute the environment and bring more hidden dangers to urban operations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that can monitor the pipeline system in real time, quickly and accurately locate the leak point, and effectively collect the leaked water. Such a system can greatly improve the efficiency of leak detection, reduce the loss of water resources, and ensure the stable operation of the water supply system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a water leakage collection system for a water pipeline to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a water leakage collection system for a water pipeline, comprising a sensor monitoring module, a data analysis module, a collection and processing module, and an automatic control and remote communication module. The sensor monitoring module is used to monitor the pipeline flow, pressure, and temperature in real time to determine the pipeline operation status and detect early signs of leakage; The data analysis module is used to receive the output data of the sensor monitoring module, perform data storage, analysis and model calculation to determine the approximate location of abnormal points and leakage points; The collection and processing module is used to control the drainage outlets under multiple pipes and collect the leaked water and perform necessary water quality treatment according to the leakage point location determined by the data analysis module; The automatic control and remote communication module is used to realize intelligent coordinated operation of the sensor monitoring module, data analysis module, and collection and processing module, facilitating remote monitoring and maintenance of the water leakage collection system. Based on the above technical features, the water pipeline leakage collection system of the present invention is jointly constructed into an efficient and intelligent pipeline leakage monitoring and processing solution through a series of high-precision sensor monitoring modules, advanced data analysis modules, high-efficiency collection and processing modules and intelligent automatic control and remote communication modules. The group master sensor monitoring module includes a flow meter, a pressure gauge and a thermometer, which are distributed at multiple key positions of the water pipeline. It can capture the changes in pipeline flow, pressure and temperature in real time, so as to quickly detect potential leakage points. When an abnormality is detected, the sensor monitoring module will send the data to the data analysis module, which contains a data storage unit and a data analysis unit. Here, algorithms such as the pressure transmission model and the hydraulic balance method are used to analyze and process the data, accurately identify the abnormal points, and reversely infer the approximate location of the leakage point; After the leak point is determined, the collection and processing module is started, and the leaked water is effectively collected by controlling the valve of the drain outlet under the water supply pipe at the leak point. The leaked water can be further collected and temporarily stored through the collection device, and the water quality treatment device can purify and filter the temporarily stored leaked water to ensure that water resources can be recycled and waste is minimized. The automatic control and remote communication module in this solution is mainly responsible for the intelligent coordination of the sensor monitoring module, data analysis module, and collection and processing module, and supports remote monitoring and maintenance through the Internet.

[0008] Based on the above technical features, the present invention can further improve the accuracy of determining the location of the leak by comparing the monitoring values ​​between different positions through the multi-point arrangement of these sensors.

[0012] Based on the above technical features, the existence of this collection and processing module not only helps to reduce the waste of water resources, but also alleviates potential damage to the environment and foundation by quickly collecting leaks. It also provides support for the timely maintenance of the pipeline system. Because through the collected leaks, staff can determine the nature of the leak, such as the cleanliness of the water and whether it contains any abnormal substances.
