DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a constant pressure water supply system for a water, electricity and gas system, including a central control unit, which integrates a data acquisition and verification module, a data storage unit, an energy coordinated allocation module, a flow leakage module, a prediction and control module, and a blockchain control module; The data acquisition and verification module collects flow data from key nodes in the pipeline network and connects to the water pump motor variable frequency speed control system to obtain motor parameters to infer pipeline network pressure and flow data. Through data fusion and data comparison, it determines data acquisition anomalies and initiates troubleshooting when anomalies occur. The data acquisition and verification module includes: High-precision flow sensors: deployed at key nodes in the pipeline network to collect pipeline flow data, convert analog signals into digital signals, and transmit them to the data fusion unit through redundant communication lines; Motor parameter monitoring unit: Connects to the water pump motor variable frequency speed control system to obtain motor current and speed parameters. Using a pressure estimation model based on the motor characteristic curve and motor electromagnetics and fluid mechanics principles, it infers the pipe network pressure and flow, and transmits the results to the data fusion unit. The motor parameter monitoring unit also monitors the motor temperature and vibration parameters. When the motor parameter monitoring unit detects abnormal data, it will promptly issue an early warning to the data fusion unit.
[0023] Data fusion unit: Receives data feedback from high-precision flow sensors and motor parameter monitoring units, uses intelligent algorithms to fuse, inspect and compare data in real time, initiates troubleshooting when data is abnormal, and feeds back abnormal information to the central control unit. The data collected and analyzed by the data fusion unit are backed up in real time to the data storage unit; The data fusion unit uses the Kalman filter algorithm to fuse data from different sources; The high-precision flow sensor uses the SN450 flow sensor, which has the characteristics of high precision and strong reliability and can accurately measure the flow data of the pipe network; This solution solves the technical problems of inaccurate data collection, low reliability of single data source, and untimely troubleshooting in traditional water supply systems; Compared with existing technologies, its outstanding beneficial effect is that through the fusion of multiple data sources and real-time verification mechanism, the accuracy and reliability of data are greatly improved, data anomalies can be discovered in a timely manner and the troubleshooting process can be quickly initiated, effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of water supply system data, and providing a solid data foundation for subsequent precise regulation.
[0024] In the water supply system of a large residential complex, a minor blockage in some pipes caused abnormal flow data. Traditional monitoring methods failed to detect it in time. However, this data acquisition and verification module, relying on the collaborative work of high-precision flow sensors and motor parameter monitoring units, quickly detected the data anomaly. Through the fusion analysis of the Kalman filter algorithm, not only the anomaly of the flow data was determined, but also the blockage location was accurately located by combining the motor parameters with reverse calculation, which quickly restored the water supply and ensured the normal water use of residents.
[0025] When the data fusion unit performs data verification, it not only compares the currently collected data, but also analyzes the historical data within a certain period of time; Set a time window of 1 hour. If multiple abnormal data fluctuations occur within this time period, even if the fluctuation amplitude does not exceed the threshold, a more in-depth troubleshooting process will be triggered to ensure data accuracy and system stability. The flow leakage module collects pipe network data and water use pattern information, uses a recurrent neural network to build a prediction model, and distinguishes between normal and abnormal flow changes. When an anomaly is detected, it extracts multi-dimensional features and uses a decision tree model to determine whether the pipe network is leaking, thus achieving adaptive pipe network flow regulation and leak detection. Traffic leakage module, including: The intelligent algorithm processing unit uses high-precision flow sensors to collect flow data from the historical period of the pipe network, simultaneously collects information related to water usage patterns, cleans the raw flow data, and smoothes it using methods such as moving averages to integrate it into a structured data set. The intelligent algorithm processing unit uses a recurrent neural network as its basic model, divides the structured data set into training, validation, and test sets, and uses historical flow and water usage pattern information as input for model training. Model performance is optimized by adjusting the loss function, parameter update algorithm, and hyperparameters. The trained model receives high-precision flow sensor data in real time, predicts the normal flow range based on real-time time series data and water usage pattern information, and compares the real-time flow with the predicted range, using ±10% as the judgment standard. When the intelligent algorithm processing unit detects an abnormal flow change, it extracts the flow change amplitude, duration, and rate, uses a leakage determination model based on a decision tree algorithm and trained with actual leakage cases to determine whether a leak has occurred, and evaluates the degree of leakage in combination with the physical parameters of the pipeline network; The intelligent algorithm processing unit is equipped with an alarm output interface. When a pipeline leak is detected, an alarm signal is promptly sent to the central control unit, which triggers the emergency response process. The water pump operation parameter control unit, after the intelligent algorithm processing unit generates an alarm signal, the water pump operation parameter control unit adjusts the water pump operation parameters, compensates for the pressure loss caused by leakage by adjusting the flow, and maintains a constant water supply pressure.
[0026] This solution solves the technical problems in existing technologies such as difficulty in accurately distinguishing normal and abnormal flow changes, inability to detect pipe network leaks in a timely manner, and difficulty in maintaining stable water supply pressure after a leak occurs. Compared with traditional methods, its outstanding beneficial effect is that it can accurately detect pipe network leaks, issue alarms in time and automatically adjust water pump operating parameters, so as to quickly compensate for pressure loss caused by leakage, effectively reduce water resource waste, and reduce the impact of water supply accidents on residents' lives and production.
[0027] In a certain city's old urban area, the water supply system had multiple potential leakage risks due to aging pipes. Previously, manual inspections made it difficult to detect small leaks in a timely manner. However, after using the flow leakage module, multiple small leaks were successfully detected. The energy coordination module collects data on water, electricity, and gas, optimizes the configuration of water pump power sources, coordinates pressure control, and recovers excess pressure to generate electricity; Energy coordinated deployment module, including: The energy data acquisition unit is connected to the monitoring equipment at the water, electricity, and gas energy production end to collect real-time data on the generation of water, electricity, and gas energy, as well as the pressure data of the three water, electricity, and gas networks. After standardization, encryption, and transmission verification of the data, it is transmitted to the data analysis and decision-making unit and the pressure coordination control unit respectively; The data analysis and decision-making unit, with built-in optimization algorithms and intelligent models, receives energy generation data transmitted by the energy data acquisition unit, comprehensively considers energy cost, stability, pump operation efficiency and overall system energy consumption factors, calculates the power source combination plan suitable for water pump operation, and transmits the plan instructions to the power source switching control unit. It can also self-learn and adjust parameters based on the system operation history data and real-time feedback; The power source switching control unit controls the water pump power source switching device according to the instructions of the data analysis and decision-making unit, realizing fast and smooth switching of the water pump between different power sources, ensuring that the water pump operates under the optimal power source configuration, and is connected to the water pump power source switching device through a redundant communication line; The power source switching control unit and the water pump power source switching device are connected via RS-485 communication interface and Modbus communication protocol for redundant communication; The pressure coordination control unit receives the three-network pressure data transmitted by the energy data acquisition unit. When the water pressure fluctuates, it uses air pressure to compensate for the water pressure and coordinately adjusts the water pump operating parameters and energy allocation strategy according to the three-network pressure. The energy recovery unit is equipped with a residual pressure power generation device to detect the residual pressure in the pipeline network and use it to generate electricity, and then feed the recovered electric energy back to the electric energy system.
[0028] The energy coordinated allocation module is equipped with an energy allocation strategy adjustment interface. Operators can manually adjust the energy allocation strategy according to actual needs through the external control terminal and intervene in the calculation results of the data analysis and decision-making unit.
[0029] The residual pressure power generation device may be a small hydroelectric power generation device; This solution solves technical problems in traditional water supply systems, such as low energy utilization efficiency, unreasonable power source configuration, uncoordinated pressure regulation, and waste of excess pressure energy; Compared with existing technologies, its outstanding beneficial effect is that it realizes the coordinated deployment of multiple energy sources such as water, electricity and gas, optimizes the configuration of water pump power source, improves energy utilization efficiency, reduces operating costs, and realizes energy recovery and reuse through waste pressure power generation; In the water supply system of a certain industrial park, energy consumption and costs were high in the past; After adopting this energy coordinated allocation module, the water pump power source can be reasonably switched according to the energy price and production demand in different time periods; During periods of low electricity prices, electric power is preferred for driving water pumps; Switch to natural gas power source when natural gas supply is stable and price is low; At the same time, air pressure is used to compensate for water pressure fluctuations, reducing energy waste; Through the waste pressure power generation device, the electricity recovered every month can meet the power needs of some auxiliary equipment, greatly reducing the energy costs of the park.
[0030] The prediction and control module collects, processes, and stores multi-source data, uses technology and models to predict water and energy consumption trends in different regions and transmits the results. Based on the results, it builds pump operation plans and establishes model strategies to simulate pump status under different working conditions to optimize and adjust pump operation plans. Prediction and control module, including: The multi-source data fusion acquisition unit is connected to the meteorological data interface, geographic information system, urban population flow monitoring system and regional economic activity monitoring platform respectively. It is used to collect weather conditions, topographic features, population flow density, commercial activity data and water supply system equipment energy consumption data in real time. The collected data is standardized and cleaned, and outliers and noise data are removed before classification and storage. The water and energy consumption prediction unit uses big data analysis technology and neural network models, combined with data provided by the multi-source data fusion acquisition unit and historical water and energy consumption data, to predict water demand changes and energy consumption trends in different regions, and transmit the prediction results to the control and prediction unit; The control and prediction unit constructs a predictive operation plan for the water pump based on the water demand forecast results provided by the water and energy consumption forecast unit, which includes differences in water demand in different time periods and regions. It also establishes a water pump operation model strategy to simulate the operating status of the water pump under predicted conditions and extreme non-predicted conditions, so as to optimize and adjust the water pump operation plan.
[0031] This solution solves the technical problems of existing technologies, such as the inability to accurately predict water and energy consumption trends, and the lack of scientific planning and reasonable regulation of water pump operation; Compared with traditional methods, its outstanding beneficial effect is that it can accurately predict water demand and energy consumption trends in advance, provide scientific and reasonable plans for water pump operation, optimize water pump operation strategies, reduce energy consumption, improve the stability and reliability of the water supply system, and ensure normal water use for residents and enterprises.
[0032] In the water supply system of a large city, due to the inability to accurately predict water demand during hot summer weather, water pumps often under- or over-supply water, resulting in water outages and energy waste in some areas. After adopting this forecasting and control module, by collecting meteorological data, population flow data and commercial activity data, combined with historical water use data, it can accurately predict the changes in water demand in different regions; The water pump operation plan was adjusted in advance based on the forecast results, and the operating frequency and power of the water pump were increased before the peak water usage period, ensuring stable water supply while avoiding energy waste.
[0033] When collecting data, the multi-source data fusion acquisition unit will perform time synchronization processing on data from different data sources; Meteorological data is updated every hour, and population mobility data is updated every 15 minutes. Time synchronization ensures data fusion and analysis on the same time dimension, improving forecast accuracy. At the same time, when constructing the water pump operation plan, the control and prediction unit will not only consider the normal changes in water demand, but also set a certain safety margin; Based on the predicted water demand, add a 10%-20% margin as a reference for water pump operation to cope with sudden increases in water demand and ensure the reliability of water supply.
[0034] The blockchain control module deploys smart contracts based on the Ethereum blockchain platform in the community-level water supply network to collect, process and utilize water demand, pump operation and pipe network structure data to achieve dynamic distribution of pump output, complementary pressure regulation, alternating operation management, data security processing and network rule monitoring.
[0035] Blockchain control module, including: Contract deployment and management unit: Deploy smart contracts based on the blockchain platform in the community-level water supply network, predefine data processing, water pump control, and reward and punishment rules, and monitor and manage network operations; Water demand collection and upload unit: The user side is equipped with a smart water meter, which collects, processes and encrypts water demand data and uploads it to the blockchain platform at set intervals; Smart water meters collect and upload data through the LoRa wireless communication protocol; Pump output dynamic allocation unit: The system uses a particle swarm optimization algorithm to build a multi-objective optimization model based on water demand, pump operation, and pipe network structure data on the blockchain to dynamically allocate pump output to achieve regional pressure balance and optimal energy consumption; Water pressure complementary regulation unit: The blockchain platform records the pressure data of each node, and the smart contract analyzes the pressure deviation to generate adjustment instructions. The instructions are broadcast to the water pump control device via the blockchain. After the equipment executes the instructions, it feedbacks the operating status. The smart contract adjusts the instructions accordingly to maintain constant pressure. Water pump alternating operation management unit: The smart contract formulates the water pump alternating operation strategy, arranges the operation sequence according to the water pump operating time, maintenance cycle and water demand, records the number of starts and stops, issues maintenance reminders when the threshold is reached, and interacts with the equipment maintenance management platform to optimize the strategy.
[0036] The water pressure complementary regulation unit has an emergency regulation mode to deal with sudden changes in water use or equipment failures. The smart water meter in the water demand collection and upload module can update the data collection and processing algorithm through remote firmware upgrades. The particle swarm optimization algorithm regards the output distribution plan of each water pump as a particle and searches for the optimal solution in the solution space. At the same time, combined with fuzzy control theory, the search parameters of the particle swarm are dynamically adjusted according to the water demand, water pump operation and pipeline structure data uploaded to the blockchain platform in real time. Fuzzy control theory uses fuzzy rules to fuzzy the regional pressure deviation and pressure change rate, and determines the adjustment amount of inertia weight and acceleration constant based on fuzzy reasoning to achieve regional pressure balance and optimal water pump energy consumption.
[0037] This solution addresses the technical issues of low data security, unscientific water pump operation management, inaccurate pressure regulation, and lack of effective incentive mechanisms in traditional community water supply networks. Compared with existing technologies, its outstanding beneficial effect lies in the use of blockchain technology to ensure the security and credibility of data, realize scientific management and precise pressure regulation of water pumps, improve the intelligence level and operation efficiency of the water supply system, and at the same time promote users' rational water use through reward and punishment rules.
[0038] In the water supply system of a newly built smart community, the blockchain control module enables scientific management of water pumps and precise pressure regulation; During peak water consumption periods, the dynamic water pump output allocation unit allocates water pump output appropriately based on water demand data on the blockchain, ensuring stable water supply pressure in each area. At the same time, the smart contract rationally arranges the alternating operation of the water pumps based on their operating hours and maintenance cycles, thus extending their service life. When abnormal pressure occurs in a certain area, the water pressure complementary regulation unit quickly starts emergency regulation; It also includes a three-dimensional dynamic monitoring platform with a two-way data connection to the central control unit.

[0039] During operation, the 3D dynamic monitoring platform accesses and integrates data from multiple modules to construct a 3D scene of the water supply network, displaying pipe network flow, pressure, equipment parameters, and water, electricity, and energy data in real time; This solution solves the technical problems that traditional monitoring methods cannot intuitively and comprehensively display the operating status of the water supply system, and that abnormal monitoring, early warning, and predictive control lack visualization.
