Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline construction technology, specifically to an auxiliary method and system for water supply pipeline installation based on multi-source positioning and digital twins. Background Technology

[0002] The installation of large-diameter water supply pipelines, especially plastic-coated steel pipes and PCCP pipes with a diameter of ≥2m, often faces complex environmental challenges, particularly in scenarios such as passing under high-voltage power line corridors, where multiple technical difficulties exist:

[0003] Traditional hoisting processes rely on manual calibration, making it difficult to achieve high-precision coordinated positioning of equipment and pipelines. The hoisting axis deviation is large, which cannot meet the requirements for precise installation.

[0004] The construction area has a complex environment, and satellite signals are easily blocked. A single positioning method cannot maintain continuous positioning when the signal is interrupted, resulting in positioning failure.

[0005] When constructing near high-voltage lines, safety clearance is strictly controlled, but existing technology lacks real-time monitoring methods for boom swing angle and distance between equipment and high-voltage lines, resulting in high safety risks.

[0006] Construction parameters (such as hoisting speed and safety clearance) rely heavily on experience and cannot be dynamically adjusted based on real-time positioning data, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of efficient construction in complex environments.

[0007] The lack of digital integration of geographical information and high-voltage line parameters in the construction area makes it impossible to provide accurate environmental benchmark data for construction, resulting in a low degree of matching between construction planning and the actual environment.

[0008] The aforementioned problems result in traditional construction methods being insufficient in precision, high in safety risks, and cumbersome in procedures when installing large-diameter water supply pipes, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern engineering for efficient, safe, and precise construction.

[0057] S6- according to the fused positioning data and the safety parameters (such as the high-voltage line safety clearance of 15 meters) in the digital twin model, real-time generation of construction parameters, including hoisting axis deviation control value, high-voltage line safety clearance, hoisting arm swing angle limit and hoisting speed;

[0058] S7- based on the construction parameters, dynamically monitoring and warning the pipeline hoisting process, including: when the deviation exceeding the safety threshold is detected, triggering the electronic fence alarm and suspending the work until the construction parameters are adjusted to meet the construction parameters and the construction is resumed; wherein the safety threshold includes a critical value (such as "the hoisting axis deviation shall not exceed a certain value" or "the distance from the high-voltage line shall not be less than a certain value") for defining the safety boundary, which is the judgment standard for triggering the warning.

[0059] Based on the above, the water supply pipeline installation auxiliary method based on multi-source positioning and digital twin of the embodiment provides accurate environmental benchmarks for construction, solving the problem of low matching degree between traditional construction planning and actual environment; multi-source sensor cooperative positioning and data fusion realize high-precision cooperative positioning of equipment and pipeline, overcoming the defects of insufficient positioning accuracy of traditional single sensor; adaptive switching mechanism ensures continuous positioning in all scenarios, solving the positioning failure problem caused by satellite signal interruption; dynamically generating construction parameters and linking with warning reduces the safety risk of work near high-voltage lines and improves construction efficiency.

[0060] In the embodiment, the pipeline includes large-diameter (referring to the pipe diameter ≥ 2m) plastic-coated steel pipe and PCCP pipe, and the construction parameters further include: welding process parameters (such as preheating temperature, etc.) of plastic-coated steel pipe and welding seam detection standards (such as ultrasonic flaw detection for welding seam detection, etc.), interface sealing treatment parameters (such as interface sealing ring installation pressure) of PCCP pipe and joint pressure requirements (such as joint pressure test pressure). In specific implementation, the corresponding parameters are automatically called according to the pipe type, for example, when the PCCP pipe is hoisted, the interface alignment accuracy is preferentially monitored to ensure that the process requirements of internal pulling and both sides filling are met.

[0061] In the embodiment, the construction of the digital twin model includes the following steps:

[0062] The construction area is scanned by 360° high-precision laser radar to obtain a point cloud space composed of original point cloud data;

[0063] The point cloud space is divided into uniform voxels (such as a resolution of 0.5 m) and effective voxels containing at least 5 points are screened, a three-dimensional model conforming to a 1:10000 mapping standard is constructed by calculating the points in the voxels and the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix, and the digital twin model is obtained, the three-dimensional model (i.e. the digital twin model) conforms to the preset mapping standard and labels the wire sag, distance between obstacles and lowest point height information of the construction area, and provides environmental constraint data for the multi-source positioning system.

[0064] Based on the above-mentioned construction steps of the digital twin model, the high-precision three-dimensional model can accurately restore the construction environment and provide a reliable reference for positioning and safety parameter setting, solving the problem of large error in traditional manual measurement; secondly, the high-voltage line parameters provide data support for dynamic safety warning and improve the controllability of construction in complex environments.

[0065] In the present embodiment, the installation of the multi-source positioning sensor group includes the following steps:

[0066] The antenna of the Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device is installed at the top of the hoisting equipment without obstruction to ensure that the received differential signal is not disturbed;

[0067] A high-precision laser radar is installed at the front end of the hoisting arm of the hoisting equipment to realize 360° scanning to monitor the dynamic distance between the hoist of the hoisting equipment and the high-voltage line and the pipeline in real time;

[0068] An inertial navigation system is installed at the center of gravity of the hoisting equipment to output attitude angles (pitch angle, roll angle) at a high frequency such as 100 Hz;

[0069] A high-voltage line electric field intensity sensor is installed at the end of the hoisting arm of the hoisting equipment to monitor the environmental electric field;

[0070] An auxiliary positioning sensor and an insulation layer detection sensor are installed on the pipeline, the auxiliary positioning sensor cooperates with the Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device, the high-precision laser radar and the inertial navigation system on the hoisting equipment to work in real time to feedback the spatial position and attitude of the pipeline, and the insulation layer detection sensor is used to monitor the state of the pipeline insulation layer.

[0071] Based on the above-mentioned installation steps of the multi-source positioning sensor group, the sensor deployment position is adaptively matched to the construction scene to ensure the accuracy and comprehensiveness of data acquisition; the sensors of the pipeline and the equipment work cooperatively to realize the linkage positioning of the equipment, the pipeline and the environment, and solve the problem of insufficient pipeline precision caused by traditional positioning relying only on equipment.

[0072] Further, when fusing the multi-source data, it also includes aligning the sensor timestamps through the PPS pulse signal, ensuring that the timing error of the multi-source data is ≤1 ms, so that the data timing of the Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device, high-precision laser radar and inertial navigation system is consistent. For example, when the high-precision laser radar scans the relative position of the pipeline and the spreader, the Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device is triggered synchronously to record the absolute coordinates, and the inertial navigation system records the attitude data, and the time stamp alignment is used to realize the space-time matching of the data, providing consistent input for the Kalman filtering algorithm.

[0073] Based on the above timestamp alignment processing, the time difference interference of multi-source data can be eliminated, the fusion accuracy can be improved, the positioning deviation problem caused by traditional asynchronous data can be solved, and the time consistency of the hoisting equipment and the pipeline position data is ensured, providing a reliable basis for dynamic monitoring and early warning.

[0074] On the other hand, the multi-source positioning sensor group also includes a Beidou short message dual-mode terminal, which cooperates with the Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device to transmit positioning data and construction parameters in a network-free environment, and supports dual-mode switching of ground communication and satellite communication. For example, when the network in the construction area is interrupted, the terminal sends real-time positioning data to the control center through the Beidou short message, ensuring uninterrupted remote monitoring.

[0075] Based on the configuration of the above-mentioned Beidou short message dual-mode terminal, the data transmission problem in a network-free environment is solved, ensuring the continuity of construction monitoring in the whole area; and the construction collaboration efficiency in complex environments is improved, avoiding delays caused by communication interruption.

[0076] Based on the arrangement of the foregoing multi-source positioning sensor group, the dynamic monitoring and early warning of the pipeline hoisting process based on the construction parameters further includes:

[0077] Based on the scanning data of the high-precision laser radar and the data of the insulation layer detection sensor on the pipeline, the insulation layer of the pipeline is detected in real time, and the insulation layer protection area is determined based on the positioning data;

[0078] Based on the preset early warning judgment condition, it is judged whether the current hoisting action will cause damage to the insulation layer. If so, an early warning is triggered; wherein the early warning judgment condition includes:

[0079] The relative positional relationship between the pipeline and the spreader of the hoisting equipment, and the surrounding obstacles (such as high-voltage line towers) is obtained in real time by the high-precision laser radar, and it is judged whether the distance between the pipeline and the spreader of the hoisting equipment or the distance between the pipeline and the surrounding obstacles is less than the safety distance set by the insulation layer protection area;

[0080] The insulation layer detection sensor feeds back the local stress change parameter (such as tensile stress > 5MPa) or integrity parameter (such as damage area > 0.1m 2 ) of the insulation layer in real time, and judges whether the change or integrity parameter exceeds the preset safety range;

[0081] According to the positioning data, it is confirmed whether the current position of the pipeline is in an area prone to damage of the insulation layer (such as within 10 meters below the high-voltage line).

[0082] Based on the above dynamic monitoring and early warning design, the insulation layer damage risk is judged in multiple dimensions to realize real-time protection, solve the problems of missed detection and lag in traditional manual inspection, and reduce the damage rate of the insulation layer of the plastic-coated steel pipe and the PCCP pipe, thereby reducing the maintenance cost in the later period.

[0083] In the embodiment, the dynamic adjustment of the positioning mode based on the adaptive switching mechanism further includes:

[0084] The Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device and the high-precision laser radar and inertial navigation system combined mode respectively adopt tight coupling and loose coupling algorithms for positioning data comparison, and automatically switch to the high-precision laser radar and inertial navigation system combined mode when it is detected that the data deviation exceeds the preset range, so as to maintain the continuity of positioning.

[0085] Based on the above adaptive switching mechanism design, the positioning interruption caused by the failure of a single system is avoided through redundancy checking and rapid switching, the system reliability is improved, and the problems of weak anti-interference ability of the traditional positioning system in complex scenes such as high-voltage line shielding and electromagnetic interference are solved.

[0086] In the embodiment, the digital twin model is also used to simulate the pipeline installation process, and a trajectory accuracy verification report is generated by comparing the actual hoisting trajectory with the model planning trajectory, and the verification report is used to verify whether the positioning accuracy of the multi-source positioning sensor group meets the construction requirements. That is, during construction, the actual hoisting trajectory data is collected in real time, compared with the model planning trajectory, and a trajectory accuracy verification report containing horizontal deviation and elevation deviation is generated. For example, after the DN4600 plastic-coated steel pipe is hoisted, the report shows that the horizontal deviation between the actual trajectory and the planning trajectory is ≤±3cm, and the elevation deviation is ≤±5cm, verifying that the positioning system accuracy meets the construction requirements.

[0087] Based on the above simulation installation design, the positioning accuracy is quantitatively verified by comparing the simulation trajectory with the actual trajectory, so as to ensure that the construction quality meets the standard, provide data support for subsequent process adjustment, and reduce the secondary deviation correction cost.

[0088] In summary, the water supply pipeline installation auxiliary method based on multi-source positioning and digital twinning of the embodiment, by constructing a digital twin model based on three-dimensional point cloud modeling technology, integrating the geographic information of the construction area, the high-voltage line corridor parameters and the pipeline installation path planning data, providing accurate digital environment benchmark for construction, improving the matching degree of construction planning and actual environment; A multi-source positioning sensor group can simultaneously collect the spatial position, attitude and environment electric field data of the hoisting equipment and the pipeline, realize the cooperative positioning of the equipment and the pipeline, and solve the problem of insufficient positioning accuracy of traditional single sensor; The data fusion processing module fuses multi-source data through Kalman filtering algorithm, realizes high-precision positioning combined with the digital twin model, the Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device provides absolute positioning benchmark, the high-precision laser radar corrects positioning error, and the inertial navigation system maintains positioning continuity when satellite signal is blocked, effectively solving the problem of positioning failure caused by signal interruption; Based on the adaptive switching mechanism, the positioning mode is dynamically adjusted, the Beidou real-time dynamic differential positioning device is mainly used when the satellite signal is normal, the high-precision laser radar is used to assist in suppressing positioning jitter, and when the signal is blocked, the high-precision laser radar and the inertial navigation combined mode is automatically switched to, to ensure the continuous positioning accuracy in the whole scene; Combined with the fused positioning data and the safety parameters in the digital twin model, the hoisting axis deviation control value, the high-voltage line safety clearance, the hoist arm swing angle limit and the hoisting speed and other construction parameters are generated in real time, the dynamic optimization of construction parameters is realized, and the construction demand in complex environment is adapted; Through dynamic monitoring and early warning of the pipeline hoisting process, when the deviation exceeding the safety threshold is detected, the electronic fence alarm is triggered and the work is suspended, effectively improving the construction safety and reducing the safety risk in dangerous scenes such as near high-voltage lines
