Furthermore, the harsh conditions inside sewage pipelines, such as high humidity, corrosion, and siltation, render existing equipment inadequately waterproof and dustproof, and sensors susceptible to interference.

[0050] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0051] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-parameter risk assessment method and collaborative detection system for underground sewage pipelines, aiming to solve or improve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0052] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0053] As a first aspect, the present invention provides, as follows Figure 1 The method for multi-parameter risk assessment of underground sewage pipelines, as shown, includes:
[0054] Step 100: Acquire data captured by the binocular camera and sensor data on water quality, gas quality, and flow rate within the pipeline.
[0055] Step 200: Perform 3D mapping based on the data captured by the binocular camera to obtain environmental information.
[0056] Step 300: Construct a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model; the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model includes an indicator system and corresponding indicator weights; the indicator system consists of one indicator layer, three criterion layers and nine indicator layers; the indicator weights are corrected using the entropy weight correction optimization method.
[0057] Step 400: Based on the sensor data and the environmental information, perform fuzzy comprehensive evaluation using the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model to obtain the final risk level; the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation adopts a two-level evaluation process.
[0058] As a second aspect, the present invention also constructs, based on the above evaluation method, the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 A multi-parameter collaborative detection system for underground sewage pipelines includes:
[0059] The robot motion and navigation module is used to acquire odometry data and IMU data, estimate its own motion state, and output navigation commands based on the estimation results.
[0060] The environmental perception module is used to create a 3D map of the internal environment of the pipeline and obtain environmental information.
[0061] The multi-parameter collaborative detection module is used to detect sensor data on water quality, gas quality, and flow rate within the pipeline.
[0062] A remote data communication module is used to transmit the sensor data and the environmental information.
[0063] The power management module is used to supply power using a lithium battery.
[0064] The fuzzy risk assessment module is used to perform risk assessment on the environmental information and sensor data using a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model to obtain the final risk level. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model includes an indicator system and corresponding indicator weights. The indicator system consists of one objective layer, three criteria layers, and nine indicator layers. The indicator weights are corrected using an entropy weight correction optimization method.
[0065] As a specific implementation method, the air parameter acquisition module, water quality sensor module, and flow sensor group are modularly installed on the top of the wheeled robot, and the signals are converged through a 485 hub.
[0066] The robot can communicate wirelessly with the host computer and can independently complete multi-parameter detection of underground pipe networks. However, in actual use, a cable can be added to the back of the robot car to prevent the car from running out of power or other accidents and to pull the car out of the underground pipe network.
[0067] Based on the above evaluation method and detection system, in specific applications, the evaluation method is loaded into the detection system for calculation and processing. The following specific implementation process is used as an example for illustration.
[0068] Robot Motion and Navigation Module:
[0069] The robot's main body employs a four-wheel differential structure and a three-layer architecture. Placing the sensors in the first layer allows them to be closer to the target detection area, reducing interference during sensor signal transmission. The main circuitry is placed in the middle layer for better protection of the circuit boards, minimizing the impact of the external environment. The motors and wheels are placed in the bottom layer, lowering the robot's center of gravity and improving its stability and flexibility during movement.
[0070] The robot is equipped with odometry and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors to monitor and record its position and attitude information within the pipeline in real time. By accurately combining odometry and IMU data, the robot can accurately estimate its own motion state, thereby achieving precise positioning and efficient navigation in complex pipeline environments. IMU data, including accelerometer and gyroscope readings, provides information such as the robot's attitude, acceleration, and angular velocity. By analyzing IMU data, abnormal attitude changes, vibrations, or motion instability can be detected, thus assessing the robot's motion state. Odometry data estimates the robot's pose changes, including changes in position and orientation, by measuring wheel rotation. By comparing the actual distance traveled with the odometry-estimated distance, the robot's positioning accuracy and path planning accuracy can be evaluated. Integrating voltage data, IMU data, and odometry data for comprehensive analysis provides a more complete assessment of the robot's operational status.
[0071] The robot employs a combination of PID and PWM motor control. The PID controller calculates the control input and generates control signals based on the deviation between the current and desired positions. PWM technology converts these control signals into pulse signals, adjusting the motor's speed and position by controlling the duty cycle of these pulse signals, thus achieving precise motion control for the pipeline robot. The robot is adaptable to pipes with a diameter ≥600mm, features a waterproof (IP68) and dustproof design, and has an adjustable chassis height to handle water accumulation environments.
[0072] Environmental perception module:
[0073] Binocular cameras capture images of a scene simultaneously using two cameras, simulating the perspective of human binoculars to achieve stereoscopic vision. This design provides more realistic and depth-perceived image information, contributing to 3D visual effects and spatial awareness. Equipped with two high-resolution cameras, binocular cameras can capture clear and detailed images, which is beneficial for computer vision tasks such as image recognition and object detection.
[0074] Inside a completely dark pipe at a depth of 20 meters, the night vision capability of the robot's image sensor was tested. Figure 4As shown in section (a), at the pipe opening location, the lighting conditions are sufficient, and the robot's vision system performs excellently, accurately identifying obstacles and environmental changes within the pipe, thus effectively avoiding collisions. Figure 4 As shown in section (b), even in low-light environments, the sensor is still able to capture the necessary environmental information, and the images clearly show the fallen leaves on the ground inside the pipe and the texture of the pipe wall, demonstrating good adaptability.
[0075] LiDAR (LiDAR) uses the time-of-flight measurement method to measure distance. Its working principle is as follows: The LiDAR emits a laser pulse, which is scattered or reflected back to the LiDAR receiver upon encountering a target object. The receiver receives the reflected light signal. A timer (t1) is started when the laser pulse is emitted, and the receiver stops timing (t2) when the laser pulse returns. The round-trip time of the laser is calculated by measuring the time difference (t2-t1), thus estimating the distance between the target object and the LiDAR. Based on the principle of the constancy of the speed of light, the distance between the target object and the LiDAR can be calculated using the following formula:
[0076]
[0077] Where t1 is the timing of the laser pulse emission, t2 is the timing of the laser pulse return, and c is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 3 × 10⁸ m / s). Since lasers travel at the speed of light, dividing the round-trip time by 2 yields the one-way distance. Using this time-of-flight measurement method, lidar can accurately measure the distance between a target object and the lidar, thus achieving high-precision distance measurement and 3D environment mapping.
[0078] Multi-parameter collaborative detection module:
[0079] (1) Air Parameter Acquisition Module: Integrates CO2, CO, H2S, SO2, and CH4 gas sensors. The sensor measurement ranges are 0-10000ppm, 0-10000ppm, 0-100ppm, 0-1000ppm, and 0-5%VOL, respectively, with an accuracy of ±5%FS. Methane and carbon dioxide are detected using infrared detection principles; sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon monoxide are detected using electrochemical principles. Since individual sensor probes are more complex in terms of wiring and power supply, five gas sensor probes are integrated onto a single PCB board, and a 485 communication circuit and synchronous power supply circuit are designed to achieve synchronous data acquisition and power supply for multiple sensors. The network circuit design is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0080] Considering the harsh internal environment of sewage pipes, the sensor probes must possess excellent waterproof performance to ensure long-term stable operation. A square transparent acrylic housing was designed for the gas sensor assembly, with glass glue used to seal the interfaces, thus improving the sensor assembly's waterproof performance. The transparent acrylic housing also offers advantages such as transparency, strong corrosion resistance, and ease of installation and maintenance, making it suitable for gas detection applications in various complex environments. The overall design and installation are as follows... Figure 6 As shown.
[0081] Air parameters were collected from a completed but not yet operational sewage pipeline. A small amount of fallen leaves and an average thickness of 10 cm of dried sludge were present at the bottom of the pipeline. A pipeline robot remained at a depth of 20 meters inside the pipeline for one hour to monitor the gas composition and concentration within the pipeline. Figure 7 As shown, the carbon dioxide concentration remained stable between 420 and 480 ppm, the carbon monoxide concentration fluctuated intermittently, ranging from 0 to 1 ppm, while the concentrations of sulfur dioxide, methane, and hydrogen sulfide were all 0 ppm.
[0082] (2) Water Quality Sensor Module: Includes copper, lead, and cadmium plasma sensors, with a measurement range of 0-200ppm and a resolution of 0.01ppm. This module uses a conventional multi-parameter water quality probe integrated device, acquiring water quality parameter data by installing multiple sensors. It is powered by a 12V DC power supply and transmits data in Modbus format. The overall circuit design fully considers waterproofing and electromagnetic interference issues, with shielded wires wrapped around the connecting cables to ensure signal transmission and stable and reliable system operation. The overall networking and design are as follows: Figure 8 As shown.
[0083] (3) Flow sensor module: Doppler flow velocity sensor (0.03-5.00 m / s) and liquid level sensor (0.02-3.00 m), with accuracies of ±5%FS and ±10%FS, respectively. The Doppler probe first emits a beam of ultrasonic waves. When the ultrasonic waves propagate in the fluid, they encounter impurities such as bubbles or particles, causing a frequency shift. When the ultrasonic waves pass through the fluid and interact with the impurities, the reflected wave generates a Doppler frequency shift Δf, which is proportional to the flow velocity. By measuring this frequency shift Δf, the actual flow velocity of the fluid can be calculated. The Doppler flow velocity sensor was fixed in a large pipe, and three flow velocity points were selected for measurement. The measured flow velocities of 0.57 m / s, 0.95 m / s, and 1.63 m / s were used as standard values for the experiment. To prevent the measurement results from shifting or becoming erroneous, the measurement was repeated multiple times, and the average value was taken as the result. The relative error and repeatability of the flow velocity calculated by the Doppler flow velocity sensor are shown in Table 1. At lower speeds, the system's measurement stability is relatively poor. However, when the speed is increased to 1.63 m / s, the stability of the measurement results is significantly improved, the data reliability is enhanced, and the measurement accuracy remains within ±5% FS.
[0084] Table 1 Static Test Performance Indicators of Doppler Flow Sensor
[0085] Flow rate (standard value) Indication error Repeatability 0.57 8.39% 15.40% 0.95 6.87% 11.50% 1.63 7.43% 4.90%
[0086] Remote data communication module:
[0087] Communication and data transmission modules, such as Figure 9 As shown, in order to reduce the storage burden on the robot and improve the overall response speed of the system, the intelligent sensor converts the collected data into voltage signals, which are then collected by the DTU device, converted into digital signals, and sent to the ground computer; the image sensor connects to the ground computer via Wi-Fi to share image and positioning data.
[0088] The ground computer is responsible for displaying environmental information and robot operating status data to the user, and integrating and analyzing this information. The signal source uses 2.4 & 5G, dual-polarized MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) panel antennas, supporting 2.4-2.5 / 5.15-5.85GHz. Each antenna contains two independent antennas and two N-mother antenna ports, supporting 2X2 MIMO and improving wireless transmission bandwidth.
[0089] Power management module:
[0090] like Figure 10As shown, this module is powered by a 24V / 10Ah lithium battery. The robot is driven by a motor and requires 24V power. The multi-parameter gas sensor group, water quality heavy metal ion concentration sensor group, image sensor, DTU module, and 485 hub are powered by 12V. The Doppler flow velocity sensor requires a 5V DC power supply. Therefore, when designing the power module, the 24V DC voltage should first be converted to 12V to meet the power supply requirements of the image sensor and wireless communication module. Then, the 12V should be stepped down to 5V to provide a stable voltage for the Doppler flow velocity sensor.
[0091] Fuzzy Risk Assessment Module: Built-in fuzzy risk assessment process for the environmental safety of underground drainage pipe networks.
[0092] First, identify the risk factors and sources that affect the environmental safety of underground drainage pipe networks.
[0093] The safety risks of urban underground drainage pipe networks mainly stem from gas accumulation, heavy metal pollution, and abnormal flow velocity. Specific risk factors and corresponding standards are as follows:
[0094] (1) Risk of toxic and harmful gases (GBZ 2.1-2019 Occupational Exposure Limits for Hazardous Factors in the Workplace).
[0095] Methane (CH4): The lower explosive limit (LEL) is 5% VOL. A warning is required when the volume concentration exceeds 12.5% LEL, and there is a high risk of explosion when it exceeds 50% LEL.
[0096] Hydrogen sulfide (H2S): Maximum permissible concentration (MAC) is 10 mg / m³ 3 Exceeding 50% of the occupational exposure limit (OEL) may cause poisoning, and exceeding 200% OEL directly threatens life.
[0097] Carbon monoxide (CO): The time-weighted average permissible concentration (PC-TWA) in non-high-altitude areas is 20 mg / m³. 3 The short-term exposure limit (PC-STEL) is 30 mg / m³. 3 .
[0098] Carbon dioxide (CO2): PC-TWA is 9000 mg / m³ 3 Excessive concentrations can lead to oxygen deficiency and suffocation; the PC-TWA concentration of sulfur dioxide (SO2) is 5 mg / m³. 3 Excessive levels can corrode pipes and damage the respiratory tract.
[0099] Sulfur dioxide (SO2): Not only is it corrosive, but concentrations exceeding the prescribed standards can cause respiratory damage. Its PC-TWA is 5 mg / m³. 3 PC-STEL is 10 mg / m² 3 .
[0100] (2) Risk of heavy metal ion pollution (GB / T 31962-2015 "Water Quality Standard for Wastewater Discharge into Urban Sewerage Systems"). Among them, copper ions (Cu... 2+ The emission limit is 2.0 mg / L; a pollution warning must be activated if the concentration exceeds 1.0 mg / L. Lead ions (Pb) 2+ The emission limit is 1.0 mg / L; levels exceeding 0.5 mg / L may cause harm to the nervous system. Cadmium ions (Cd) 2+ The emission limit is 0.1 mg / L; emissions exceeding 0.05 mg / L are considered highly toxic pollutants.
[0101] (3) Risk of abnormal flow velocity (GB 50014-2021 "Outdoor Drainage Design Standard").
[0102] The design flow velocity range for gravity flow sewage pipelines is 0.6 to 5.0 m / s. When the flow velocity is below 0.6 m / s, it is prone to siltation, and when it is above 5.0 m / s, it may cause pipeline erosion and damage.
[0103] Then, a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is established.
[0104] 1. Establish a set of risk factors
[0105] Based on the needs of pipeline network environmental monitoring, the core risk U is identified:
[0106] U = {U1, U2, U3, U4, U5, U6, U7, U8, U9} = {methane, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, copper ions in water, lead ions in water, cadmium ions in water, wastewater flow rate}.
[0107] 2. Establish a risk level set
[0108] A four-level risk classification system is adopted, combining national standards and emergency response thresholds to define level V:
[0109] V = {1 (safe), 2 (relatively safe), 3 (dangerous), 4 (high risk)}, with specific classification thresholds shown in Table 2.
[0110] Table 2. Classification criteria for risk factors
[0111]
[0112] According to the "Workplace Ambient Gas Detection and Alarm Instruments," the setpoint for a first-level alarm for combustible gases should be less than or equal to 25% LEL, and the setpoint for a second-level alarm should be less than or equal to 50% LEL. For toxic gases, the setpoint for a first-level alarm should be less than or equal to 100% OEL, and the setpoint for a second-level alarm should be less than or equal to 200% OEL. When the measurement range of existing detectors cannot meet the measurement requirements, the setpoint for a first-level alarm for toxic gases should not exceed 5% IDLH, and the setpoint for a second-level alarm should not exceed 10% IDLH. Heavy metal ion concentrations in water are divided into four levels. According to the Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard GB 8978-1996, cadmium and lead ions exceeding the maximum discharge standard are classified as level 4 (high risk), the maximum presence in sewage pipes is level 3 (dangerous), and exceeding the maximum presence in sewage pipes is level 2 (relatively safe). Regarding pipeline risks caused by flow velocity, level 4 (high risk) is defined as less than 0.6 m / s and greater than 5.0 m / s; intermediate levels determine safety.
[0113] 3. Determine the risk factor level
[0114] Data is collected in real time by sensors and normalized according to the above-mentioned grading standards to construct a single-factor evaluation matrix R. For example, when the methane concentration is 20% LEL, the normalized value is... Corresponding risk level 2 (relatively safe).
[0115] 4. Determine the weights of risk factors
[0116] Based on statistics of 12 types of underground pipeline accidents in China from October 2022 to September 2023 (a total of 814 typical accidents), the specific steps of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) are as follows:
[0117] (1) Construction of AHP subjective weights, as shown in Table 3.
[0118] Establish a hierarchical structure: divide risk factors into target layer (underground pipeline safety risks), criterion layer (gas safety accidents, environmental pollution, dredging risks), and indicator layer (9 specific risk factors).
[0119] Table 3 Weights of Initial Risk Factors
[0120]
[0121]
[0122] Constructing the judgment matrix: The system simulates 10 experts in the field of underground pipe networks (including 5 senior engineers, 3 university researchers, and 2 municipal management personnel), and scores the relative importance of indicators based on the Satty 1-9 scaling method to form an initial judgment matrix A.
[0123] ① Taking the five indicators (hydrogen sulfide, methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide) in the "gas safety accident" category as an example, the judgment matrix is as follows:
[0124]
[0125] Normalizing matrix A by its columns, we get:
[0126] Summing by rows yields:
[0127] Normalization yields the weight vector:
[0128] calculate Where (Aw)i represents the i-th element after multiplying matrix A by vector W.
[0129] The maximum eigenvalue can be obtained by calculating the above steps: λ max ≈5.21.
[0130] ② Calculate the consistency index CI
[0131]
[0132] Where n is the order of the judgment matrix, n = 5. When λ max When n = 5, approximately 5.21
[0133] ③ Calculate the random consistency ratio CR
[0134]
[0135] RI is the average random consistency index, which varies with n and is obtained through statistical analysis of a large number of random matrices. The standard values are shown in Table 4.
[0136] Table 4 Average Random Consistency Index
[0137] n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 RI 0 0 0.58 0.90 1.12 1.24 1.32 1.41 1.45
[0138] When CI = 0.0525 and n = 5, RI = 1.12, then The consistency of the matrix is acceptable. For matrices with a CR > 0.1, experts need to re-evaluate them.
[0139] (2) Entropy weight correction and optimization
[0140] Based on the setting of 9 risk factors (n=9) and 10 experts (m=10), the calculation is carried out as follows:
[0141] ①Preparation of expert weighting data: The initial weighting scores of 9 risk factors by 10 experts are shown in Table 5:
[0142] Table 5 Initial Weight Scoring
[0143]
[0144]
[0145] ② Calculation of index entropy value
[0146] 1) Normalize the weight vector for each expert:
[0147] Taking expert 1 as an example, its weight vector sum is:
[0148]
[0149] Taking expert 3 as an example, its weight vector sum is:
[0150]
[0151] Similarly, all expert weight vectors have been normalized.
[0152] 2) Calculate the entropy value of the index:
[0153] Taking hydrogen sulfide (U3) as an example, the weights of 10 experts for it are: 0.60, 0.58, 0.65, 0.55, 0.62, 0.61, 0.59, 0.63, 0.57, 0.60.
[0154] For each expert k, calculate but: Substitute the data:
[0155]
[0156] but:
[0157]
[0158] Taking cadmium ions (U8) as an example, the weights of the 10 experts are: 0.03, 0.03, 0.03, 0.03, 0.03, 0.04, 0.03, 0.03, 0.03, 0.04. but:
[0159]
[0160] The calculation results of the complete entropy value are shown in Table 6 based on the above calculation method:
[0161] Table 6. Calculation results of complete entropy value
[0162]
[0163] 3) Entropy weight ωi calculate
[0164]
[0165] The denominator calculation results are shown in Table 7:
[0166]
[0167] Table 7 Molecular Calculation Results
[0168]
[0169] Entropy weight:
[0170]
[0171] Since ω3 is negative, while the entropy weight needs to be positive, the entropy weights are shown in Table 8 after the data is readjusted and corrected according to the steps above.
[0172] Table 8. Corrected Entropy Weights
[0173]
[0174] 4) Weight fusion: Calculation The results are shown in Table 9.
[0175] Table 9W AHp Initial weights
[0176]
[0177] Calculate the fusion weights:
[0178]
[0179] The final calculation result of the fusion weight according to the above formula is:
[0180] W=[0.10,0.03,0.2027,0.01,0.03,0.07,0.13,0.1897,0.12]
[0181] 5) Variance-maximizing orthogonal rotation
[0182] ① Perform principal component analysis on the fused weight vector, and maximize the weight variance through orthogonal rotation. The calculation process is as follows:
[0183] Original loads: ω1 = 0.10, ω3 = 0.2027
[0184]
[0185] Rotational backload:
[0186] ω'1=0.10cosθ-0.2027sinθ≈0.1125, ω'3=0.10sinθ+0.2027cosθ≈0.223
[0187] Similarly, the other index pairs are iteratively rotated to obtain the rotated weights:
[0188] w'=[0.1125,0.025,0.223,0.0075,0.025,0.06,0.13,0.21,0.1075]
[0189] ②The comparison and effect before and after rotation are shown in Table 10.
[0190] Table 10 Comparison and Effects Before and After Rotation
[0191]
[0192] Rotational forward deviation: σ 2 ≈0.125, Variance after rotation: σ '2 ≈0.132
[0193] The variance increased by about 5.6%, indicating that the weight distribution was more concentrated and the differentiation between hydrogen sulfide and cadmium ions was enhanced.
[0194] Table 11 Revised Risk Factor Weighting Table
[0195]
[0196] Table 12: Correspondence between the revised risk factor weight table and the initial risk factor weight data
[0197]
[0198] The following conclusions can be drawn from the comparison of data in Table 12:
[0199] The local weight of hydrogen sulfide increased from 68.50% to 72.30%, further highlighting its importance among risk factors in gas safety accidents and aligning with the high risk of hydrogen sulfide poisoning in underground pipeline accidents. The local weight of methane decreased from 25.00% to 22.50%, carbon dioxide from 5.00% to 3.20%, and carbon monoxide from 1.00% to 1.50%, reflecting a more refined adjustment of the importance of gas risk factors and making the allocation of local weights more closely reflect the actual level of risk.
[0200] The revised weights of each risk factor by the General Administration make the overall weight structure of underground pipeline risk assessment more accurate, more scientifically reflect the proportion of different risk factors in the overall risk, and improve the accuracy of subsequent fuzzy comprehensive evaluation models for risk identification and early warning.
[0201] (5) Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation
[0202] 1. Level 1 Fuzzy Evaluation:
[0203] Calculations are made separately for three categories: gas safety accidents, environmental pollution, and dredging risks.
[0204] B1 = W1oR1 (gas risk), B2 = W2oR2 (pollution risk), B3 = W3oR3 (dredging risk). Where B is the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation set.
[0205] W1 = [0.225, 0.005, 0.723, 0.015, 0.032] is the weight vector for gas factors, W2 is the weight vector for environmental pollution, and W3 is the weight vector for dredging; R1 is the gas parameter evaluation matrix, R2 is the environmental pollution evaluation matrix, and R3 is the dredging risk evaluation matrix. This indicates a fuzzy synthesis operation.
[0206] 2. Second-level fuzzy evaluation:
[0207] The primary assessment results are integrated into a comprehensive risk matrix:
[0208]
[0209] Combining the total risk category weights W = [0.5, 0.4, 0.1], calculate the final risk assessment vector:
[0210] B = WoR = (b1, b2, b3, b4)
[0211] Among them, b j This represents the degree of membership of the comprehensive risk to level j. The final risk level is determined by the principle of maximum membership. The calculation results are shown in Table 13.
[0212] Table 13 Risk Levels of Gas Safety Accident Data and Model Output
[0213]
[0214]
[0215] Finally, the model is validated and applied.
[0216] The model has been validated through field testing: the measured data and model output risk levels for a certain municipal pipeline, as shown in Table 13, are consistent with the on-site emergency response results. The model supports real-time data access and can dynamically generate risk warning reports, providing decision support for pipeline network operation and maintenance.
[0217] Data Explanation:
[0218] All gas concentrations did not exceed the occupational exposure limit (OEL), falling within the safe range. The concentrations of the three heavy metal ions were all far below the limits specified in the Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard, posing no pollution risk. The measured flow velocities were all below 0.6 m / s; flow velocities <0.6 m / s are prone to sedimentation and fall within the "high risk" range. If subsequent data collection exceeds the safety threshold, the risk level will need to be recalculated and an alert triggered.
[0219] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0220] 1. Multi-parameter collaborative detection: Breaking through the limitations of traditional single-parameter measurement, it realizes simultaneous monitoring of water quality, air quality and flow rate, improving data integrity by more than 80%.
[0221] 2. Remote wireless communication: Free from the constraints of cables, the detection range is extended to more than 200 meters, and the data transmission delay is ≤1 second.
[0222] 3. Environmental adaptability: The robot is adaptable to pipes with a diameter of ≥600mm and can operate stably in pipes with a water depth of ≤0.5m. The sensor maintains an accuracy of ±5%FS in high humidity environments.
