Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a safety monitoring system and method, in particular to a split type high-speed monitoring system and method for high-risk explosion environment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In high-risk industrial environments such as chemical production, energy storage and transportation, and metal processing, explosion accidents are prone to occur. Explosion accidents have the characteristics of strong suddenness, rapid development, and great destructive power. They can often evolve from initial abnormalities to disastrous consequences within a time scale of milliseconds. Therefore, while focusing on safety production, it is also necessary to improve safety monitoring awareness and prevent explosion accidents.

[0003] Existing safety monitoring systems mainly rely on traditional monitoring devices and high-speed camera systems. Among them, the traditional monitoring device is represented by an industrial-grade security camera. Its structure is mainly designed for daily monitoring needs, and has three key technical defects: First, in terms of time resolution, traditional monitoring devices generally use a fixed frame rate of 25-30 fps, with a single frame interval of 33-40 ms. However, the initial signs of a typical explosion accident (such as local overheating and gas leakage) can develop into an irreversible explosion process within 1-5 ms, making it impossible for such monitoring devices to capture key image data at the initial stage of the accident. Second, in terms of triggering mechanism, traditional monitoring devices rely on software polling or simple threshold triggering, with a response delay of up to 200-500 ms. When the sensor detects an anomaly, the accident has often entered the stage of intense burning. Third, the exposure time and gain adjustment of traditional monitoring devices are lagging, and they are prone to oversaturation when facing high-intensity flashes, resulting in images with only white noise and loss of detail information. More seriously, the integrated storage architecture of traditional monitoring devices relies on local storage chips or real-time network transmission (such as RJ45 bus), which is easily damaged by physical damage or network interruption under the action of explosion shock waves, resulting in permanent loss of key data. As can be seen, traditional monitoring devices are limited by slow response speed, triggering delay, insufficient frame rate, and storage architecture defects, making it difficult to record key image data at the initial stage of the accident, resulting in a lack of direct visual evidence for accident investigation.

[0004] Although the high-speed camera system (such as a thousand frames / million frames level scientific camera) solves the time resolution problem of the traditional monitoring device to some extent, its implementation also brings a new application bottleneck: the high-speed camera system usually adopts CMOS global shutter or CCD scanning technology, although the highest frame rate can reach 1000~100000fps, but the explosion accident needs to be recorded all the time, and the high-speed camera system will generate TB level massive data in single collection, which not only causes waste of storage resources, but also leads to low extraction efficiency of effective data. In addition, the high-speed camera system generally adopts centralized storage architecture, even if an industrial grade protective shell is used, it is still difficult to guarantee the safety of the storage medium in extreme scenes such as chemical explosion. At the same time, the existing high-speed camera system generally lacks a fast trigger and hierarchical storage mechanism, and cannot realize the intelligent switching of "normal low-power monitoring-high-speed recording in abnormal situation", which further limits its use value in long-term unattended scenes.

[0005] In summary, it is urgent to develop a transient image monitoring system with microsecond-level trigger, high frame rate imaging and safe storage, which directly restores the key dynamic characteristics at the moment of event occurrence, and provides irreplaceable objective evidence support for accurately determining the accident cause, dividing the responsibility and improving the preventive measures.

[0049] Step 2: Continuously monitor the target area through the ultraviolet photoelectric trigger module 51 and the explosion pressure trigger module 52, when the light intensity and / or shock wave pressure of the target area is greater than or equal to the corresponding trigger threshold, the ultraviolet photoelectric trigger module 51 and / or the explosion pressure trigger module 52 converts the light signal and / or shock wave pressure signal into a trigger electric signal and transmits it to the electric control module 7, and the electric control module 7 randomly controls the imaging module 6 to start shooting.

[0050] Step 3: An image of the target area is taken by the imaging module 6, and the image data is transmitted at high speed to the acquisition storage unit 2 via the electric control module 7 and the data transmission unit 3 for storage, thereby realizing split-type high-speed monitoring in a high-risk explosion environment. In this process, the electric control module 7 can also perform real-time preprocessing (format conversion / time stamp injection) on the image taken by the imaging module 6, so that relevant images can be quickly extracted from the acquisition storage unit 2 later.

[0051] The split-type high-speed monitoring system and method for high-risk explosion safety accident investigation provided by the embodiment solve the technical problem that the traditional monitoring equipment cannot capture the key images of the accident moment due to trigger delay, insufficient frame rate, and defects in the storage architecture, thereby providing an image tracing means for high-risk environment accident investigation and enhancing the prevention and post-analysis efficiency of the safety protection system. The present application has the ability of fast triggering, high time resolution, and safe data storage, and has important practical significance for collecting initial images of explosion accidents, improving accident tracing accuracy, and optimizing the safety protection system.

[0052] Embodiment Two The embodiment also provides another split-type high-speed monitoring method for a high-risk explosion environment. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment One is that this embodiment adopts a daily caching and trigger storage mode. The monitoring method comprises the following steps: Step 1: Assemble the split-type high-speed monitoring system for a high-risk explosion environment described in the embodiment. Pre-set the light intensity trigger threshold of the ultraviolet photoelectric trigger module 51, the shock wave pressure trigger threshold of the explosion pressure trigger module 52, the imaging parameters of the imaging module 6, and the storage time window of the acquisition storage unit 2 according to the monitoring requirements, and install the monitoring unit 1 as a whole at the corresponding position in the monitoring scene. At the same time, the installation angle of the installation support 47 should also be adjusted according to the monitoring requirements, so that the detection surfaces of the imaging module 6, the ultraviolet photoelectric trigger module 51, and the explosion pressure trigger module 52 all face the dangerous area / operation link. The storage time window can be set to 29 seconds before triggering + 1 second after triggering, or the specific time can be set according to the on-site requirements. Similarly, in this embodiment, the imaging parameters of the imaging module 6 include exposure time, image resolution, and monitoring frame rate, wherein the monitoring frame rate is not less than 1000 fps, so as to realize the recording of high-frame-rate high-definition monitoring pictures.

[0053] Step 2: Continuously monitor the target area through the ultraviolet photoelectric trigger module 51 and the explosion pressure trigger module 52, and take images of the target area through the imaging module 6, and transmit the image data to the acquisition storage unit 2 in real time via the electric control module 7 and the data transmission unit 3 for cyclic caching, so as to meet the daily monitoring display requirements.

[0054] Step 3: When the light intensity and / or shock wave pressure captured by the ultraviolet photoelectric trigger module 51 and / or the explosion pressure trigger module 52 is greater than or equal to the corresponding trigger threshold, the collected light signal and / or shock wave pressure signal is converted into a trigger electric signal by the ultraviolet photoelectric trigger module 51 and / or the explosion pressure trigger module 52, and is transmitted to the electric control module 7.

[0055] Step 4: The electric control module 7 controls the acquisition storage unit 2 to perform a trigger storage operation according to the storage time window, specifically, the acquisition storage unit 2 extracts the image data 29 seconds before triggering from the circular buffer, and continues to store the image data taken by the imaging module 6 within 1 second after triggering, and finally integrates and stores the image data in the storage time window in time sequence, so that the on-site image at the time of the accident can be quickly extracted when the accident is investigated later. Thus, the split type high-speed monitoring in the high-risk explosion environment is realized.

[0056] The present application solves the key problems in explosion accident investigation, such as slow triggering speed of conventional cameras, low monitoring frame rate, and event instantaneous image acquisition or data damage caused by integrated storage, by microsecond-level fast triggering, kiloframe-level high-speed photography, and split type fast storage, and provides an effective device and method for obtaining direct image evidence chain for high-risk explosion safety accident investigation.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
