[0002] The interlayer space of air duct layout is usually dimly lit and poorly ventilated, and may have abnormal temperature and humidity (such as high temperature and high humidity) or harmful gas accumulation. Long-time operation can easily cause personnel to suffer from heatstroke, oxygen deficiency or respiratory discomfort. In addition, there may be sharp metal edges, pipeline intersections and other obstacles in the interlayer, increasing the risk of collision and scratches. Secondly, the leak detection personnel need to move or climb in a small space, which is easy to stumble and fall. When using tools (such as flashlights and detection instruments), improper operation may cause equipment damage or secondary damage to the air duct. The traditional visual and sound method relies on manual judgment, which is highly subjective and easy to miss small gaps. Finally, manual data recording is prone to errors, and the location of air leakage points only relies on the sense of smell, making it difficult to find hidden parts (such as ceiling and structural interlayer). In view of the above problems, an air duct monitoring device based on image processing and a control method thereof are proposed to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0019] It should be noted that the output end of the smoke generator 1 is provided with a plurality of communication pipes corresponding to the number of air pipes 02, and each of the communication pipes is communicated with the air pipe 02 one by one.
[0020] It is further necessary to supplement that the communication pipe is provided with a control valve, and the control valve is electrically connected with the control unit. The control valve in the above structure belongs to a conventional technical means in the prior art, and therefore is not described and expressed in detail in the present application. The control valve is provided to avoid the internal airflow of the air pipe 02 from entering the smoke generator 1 during normal use.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , 3 The monitoring unit 2 comprises a plurality of groups of first identification cameras 21, and the plurality of groups of first identification cameras 21 are uniformly distributed in the interlayer 01.
[0022] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 The first identification camera 21 comprises a first adjusting seat 211, a second adjusting seat 212 and a first camera 213. The first adjusting seat 211 is fixedly arranged in the interlayer 01. The second adjusting seat 212 is rotatably arranged in the first adjusting seat 211, and is deflected with the first adjusting seat 211. The first camera 213 is rotatably arranged in the second adjusting seat 212, and is deflected with the second adjusting seat 212.
[0023] In this embodiment, the first camera 213 can swing its direction under the cooperation of the first adjusting seat 211 and the second adjusting seat 212, to obtain image information in a wider range, and the image information obtained between adjacent first cameras 213 should have the same reference boundary, to facilitate image integration and merging into complete image information of the air pipe 02 as a whole, to avoid omission.
[0024] In another preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , 4As shown, the monitoring unit 2 comprises a second identification camera 22 and a driving unit; The driving unit drives the second identification camera 22 to move along the arrangement direction of the air pipe 02.
[0025] Specifically, the second identification camera 22 comprises a third adjusting seat 221 and a second camera 223 rotatably arranged in the third adjusting seat 221, and the second camera 223 is used to deflect with the driving of the third adjusting seat 221; The driving unit comprises a driving screw 222 fixedly arranged in the interlayer 01 and a driving motor, and further comprises a limiting rib 224 fixedly arranged in the interlayer 01; The third adjusting seat 221 is engaged with the driving screw 222, and a missing part adapted to the limiting rib 224 is formed in the third adjusting seat 221; The driving motor is used to drive the driving screw 222 to rotate and drive the third adjusting seat 221 to move along the length direction of the driving screw 222.
[0026] In this embodiment, the driving unit is arranged along the arrangement direction of the air pipe 02, and a plurality of driving units are combined to adapt to the corner of the air pipe 02 for the corner.
[0027] Through the above structure, when monitoring is needed, the driving motor is operated to drive the driving screw 222 to rotate, and since the driving screw 222 is engaged with the third adjusting seat 221, the third adjusting seat 221 can be relatively reciprocated according to the rotating direction during the rotation of the driving screw 222. Further, through the structure that the limiting rib 224 and the third adjusting seat 221 are provided with the missing part adapted to the limiting rib 224, the third adjusting seat 221 can be prevented from rotating during the driving of the driving screw 222 to move the third adjusting seat 221.
[0028] Another technical solution of the present application is a control method of an air pipe monitoring device based on image processing, comprising the following steps: S1, original image acquisition, the control unit remotely controls the monitoring unit 2 to operate to acquire the original image information of each monitoring point on the surface of the air pipe 02 to be tested; S2, test smoke, the control unit remotely controls the smoke generator 1 and makes the control valve at the output end conductive to generate test smoke into the air pipe 02 to be tested; S3, live image acquisition, the control unit remotely controls the monitoring unit 2 to operate to acquire the live image information of each monitoring point on the surface of the air pipe 02 to be tested after the smoke is introduced; S4, image comparison, the control unit compares the original image information and the live image information obtained in steps S1 and S3, and judges whether there is a smoke leakage phenomenon at each monitoring point according to the comparison result; S5, information feedback, the corresponding image information and position information in step S4 are fed back to the remote control terminal, and the defect type, position, quantity, and severity evaluation according to the judgment result are recorded to trigger the shutdown, adjustment instruction or remind the user.
[0029] It should be noted that in steps S1 and S3, when the monitoring unit 2 obtains the image information fed back by each monitoring point, the control unit should also record the position information of the current monitoring point and the time when the current image information is obtained, so as to facilitate comparison and judgment in subsequent image comparison; In step S2, the smoke generator 1 generates smoke for 10-30 minutes to ensure that the smoke is fully diffused into the whole air pipe 02, and to ensure the smoke concentration in each part of the air pipe 02, so as to avoid insufficient concentration in some leakage parts and difficult to find in the subsequent comparison process; In the above control method, the environmental risk of human detection can be effectively reduced, the difficulty of human work is reduced, the error of manual detection is avoided, and the complete report can be recorded synchronously in the monitoring process, so as to facilitate subsequent review and calibration.
[0030] It should be noted that in step S4, the image contrast is improved by using Gaussian filtering, image sharpening and other technologies before image contrast, or other ways easily thought of by those skilled in the art are used instead.
