TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the cross field of communication technology and intelligent control of fire-fighting facilities, and particularly relates to a 5G communication intelligent fire hydrant water taking hydrant remote control system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous improvement of urban public safety system, fire-fighting water supply facilities as the key infrastructure for emergency rescue, the intelligent management level thereof directly affects the fire fighting efficiency and rational use of water resources. The traditional fire hydrant and water taking hydrant generally adopt mechanical structure, rely on manual inspection and on-site operation, and lack real-time perception and remote intervention ability of key parameters such as valve state, water pressure and flow, and illegal water taking. In the event of sudden fire or emergency water taking scene, the operation and maintenance personnel are difficult to quickly locate the available hydrant, judge the water supply state or remotely open and close the valve, which is easy to delay the rescue opportunity. At the same time, the existing part of the electronic transformation scheme is mostly based on 2G / 3G or narrowband Internet of Things communication, which has low transmission bandwidth, high time delay and weak concurrent ability, etc., and cannot support high-order intelligent functions such as high-definition video monitoring, multi-sensor fusion data backhaul and millisecond-level remote control instruction issuing.
[0003] Among them, the 5G communication technology provides a new technical path for the global perception and real-time linkage control of urban fire-fighting facilities with ultra-high bandwidth, ultra-low latency and massive connection characteristics. The remote control system based on 5G can theoretically realize the second-level reporting of fire hydrant state, high-definition video assisted decision and remote precise opening and closing operation, and significantly improve the emergency response ability and operation and maintenance efficiency.
[0004] In the prior art, although attempts have been made to integrate a wireless communication module into a fire hydrant control system, there are still multiple technical bottlenecks: the system architecture mostly adopts one-way data reporting mode, lacks a bidirectional closed-loop control mechanism, and cannot realize real-time feedback and verification of instruction execution state; the control logic and communication protocol have high coupling degree, and it is difficult to adapt to different manufacturers' valve actuator and sensor interface; in a high concurrency scene (such as multiple fire alarms triggered at the same time), the existing communication scheduling strategy is easy to cause instruction loss or response delay; in addition, the system generally does not integrate security authentication and abnormal behavior identification mechanism, and it is difficult to effectively prevent security risks such as illegal opening and destructive water taking. The above defects make the existing scheme difficult to meet the comprehensive management and control needs of high reliability, high security and high real-time in actual urban deployment, and there is an urgent need for a fire hydrant remote control system and method deeply integrating 5G communication capability, having closed-loop control logic and intelligent security protection.

[0038] The application discloses a remote control method for an intelligent fire hydrant water taking hydrant of 5G communication.

[0041] S3, a 5G communication module in the front-end intelligent sensing execution terminal establishes and maintains two parallel, physically isolated special network slice links connected to a cloud digital twin and dispatch platform.
[0042] The first network slice is an ultra-reliable and low-latency communication network slice, and the second network slice is an enhanced mobile broadband network slice; the 5G communication module encapsulates the structured state data, response feedback data of a control instruction and an emergency alarm signal into a first type of data packet, and transmits the first type of data packet through the ultra-reliable and low-latency communication network slice with an end-to-end delay of not higher than 5 ms; the 5G communication module encapsulates the real-time video stream data into a second type of data packet, and transmits the second type of data packet through the enhanced mobile broadband network slice.
[0043] S4, the cloud digital twin and dispatch platform receives the first type of data packet and the second type of data packet, and performs the following operations: The structured state data is used to update state parameters of a digital twin model corresponding to the front-end intelligent sensing and execution terminal in real time; The digital twin model is a multi-physical field coupling model integrating fluid mechanics equations, material fatigue cumulative damage models, and equipment kinematics models; The cloud digital twin and scheduling platform continuously monitors and assesses the health of the current state of the digital twin model in a virtualized urban pipe network topology; The predictive maintenance module of the cloud digital twin and scheduling platform predicts the remaining useful life of valve seals, actuators, and batteries based on historical state data sequences of the digital twin model using a long short-term memory network algorithm and generates maintenance work orders.
[0044] S5, when receiving remote control instructions from the human-computer interaction interface, the intelligent scheduling and control decision engine of the cloud digital twin and scheduling platform first performs pre-execution simulation on the digital twin model for the remote control instructions.
[0045] The simulation calculation includes the transient effect on downstream pipe network pressure distribution, the intensity of water hammer effect, and the stress change during valve opening or closing. Only when the simulation results show that all key parameters are within the preset safety threshold range, the intelligent scheduling and control decision engine converts the remote control instructions into specific execution parameter sequences.

[0049] The high-precision electro-hydraulic actuator is built-in an absolute value photoelectric encoder for real-time detection of the actual rotation position of the valve core.
[0050] The edge computing and control unit constitutes a closed-loop servo control system based on proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm, which continuously compares the real-time position feedback of the photoelectric encoder with the target position in the execution parameter sequence, dynamically adjusts the voltage and current applied to the driving motor until the error between the actual position of the valve core and the target position is less than the preset precision threshold; the precision threshold is 0.1 mm.
[0051] During the execution process, the front-end intelligent sensing execution terminal will return the real-time position of the valve core, the motor driving current, and the execution state data such as the hydraulic system pressure to the cloud digital twin and scheduling platform through the ultra-reliable low-latency communication network slice in real time, to complete the overall closed loop of the control process.
[0052] The following will be expanded in detail.
[0053] In step S1, the front-end intelligent sensing execution terminal is deployed on the fire hydrant body structure of various fire-fighting water intake points such as urban roads, squares, and industrial areas, or is directly integrated into the internal cavity. The front-end intelligent sensing execution terminal realizes all-around sensing of the running state of the water intake hydrant and the surrounding environment through a multi-dimensional state sensing module.
[0054] The high-frequency pressure sensor adopts a piezoresistive principle, with a measurement range of 0-2.5MPa, an accuracy level of 0.25, and a sampling frequency of not less than 100Hz, which is used to continuously obtain the dynamic change curve of the internal water pressure of the pipe network.
[0055] The ultrasonic flowmeter adopts an external clamping installation method and is based on the time difference method measurement principle, which can synchronously output instantaneous flow and cumulative flow data, with a measurement accuracy of better than ±0.05%, suitable for accurate measurement under different pipe diameters and flow rates.
[0056] The piezoelectric ceramic acoustic sensor array is composed of four sensor units, which are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the valve body structure at an interval of 90°. Each sensor unit has an effective frequency response range of 20kHz-100kHz, which is used to collect acoustic vibration signals generated by the fluid flowing in the pipeline and form a complete ring acoustic spectrum.
[0057] The water quality turbidity sensor is installed inside the water outlet and adopts an optical scattering principle, with a measurement range of 0-1000NTU and a resolution of 0.1NTU, which is used to monitor the cleanliness of the water quality in real time.
[0058] The three-axis acceleration sensor is fixed to the internal reinforcing rib of the hydrant body, with a range of ±16 times the gravitational acceleration, which is used to detect the vibration and inclination attitude change of the hydrant body under external impact, earthquake or human damage.
[0059] The global satellite navigation system module supports Beidou and GPS dual-mode positioning, with a positioning accuracy of better than 2m, which is used to obtain the accurate geographic position coordinates of the water intake hydrant.
[0060] The high-definition wide-angle image acquisition module has infrared night vision function, with a resolution of 1920 pixels and a field of view angle of not less than 120°, which is used to collect real-time video stream data of the surrounding environment of the water intake hydrant in all-weather, with a video frame rate of not less than 25fps.
[0061] In step S2, the edge computing and control unit serves as the core processing unit of the front-end intelligent sensing terminal, and its hardware platform is a heterogeneous system-on-chip integrating a four-core central processing unit, a dedicated neural network processing unit, and a digital signal processor.
[0062] The edge computing and control unit establishes high-speed data channels with the pressure sensor, ultrasonic flow meter, acoustic sensor array, turbidity sensor, acceleration sensor, and image acquisition module through a serial peripheral interface bus, internal integrated circuit bus, and analog-to-digital conversion interface.
[0063] The edge computing and control unit first performs timestamp alignment and format standardization processing on the raw sensor data to ensure that all data is fused and analyzed under a unified time reference.
[0064] Subsequently, the edge computing and control unit loads a pre-trained lightweight convolutional neural network model, which takes a two-dimensional time-frequency graph composed of acoustic vibration spectrum data as input and outputs a binary classification result of whether there is a small leak and a rough estimate of the leak location. The lightweight convolutional neural network model has been trained and verified on a large amount of real leak scene data before shipment, and the inference delay is controlled within 10 ms.
[0065] At the same time, the edge computing and control unit performs cross-correlation analysis on the water pressure time series data and instantaneous flow data, calculates the cross-correlation coefficient at different time lags, and establishes a hydraulic characteristic baseline based on historical normal operating data. When the real-time data deviates from the hydraulic characteristic baseline by more than a preset threshold, the system determines that it is an abnormal water use behavior or a pipe burst event, and immediately triggers a local alarm.
[0066] The processed structured state data is packaged into a standardized data frame containing device identification, timestamp, sensor values, abnormal flag, and confidence score, and the real-time video stream data is additionally attached with geographic coordinates and device status labels, ready for the subsequent network transmission stage.
[0067] In step S3, the 5G communication module serves as the only communication bridge between the front-end intelligent sensing terminal and the cloud platform, and its internal integration is a baseband chip conforming to the new radio standard of the fifth generation mobile communication, and it is configured with two independent radio frequency front-end channels and dual physical user identification card slots.
[0068] 5G communication module initiates two registration requests to the operator's core network during the device power-on initialization phase, the first slice is the ultra-reliable low-latency communication network slice, its quality of service parameters are configured as end-to-end delay not higher than 5ms, reliability not less than 99.999%, bandwidth guarantee not less than 100kbps; the second slice is the enhanced mobile broadband network slice, its quality of service parameters are configured as downlink peak rate not less than 500Mbps, uplink peak rate not less than 100Mbps, the two slices achieve resource isolation at the physical layer, link layer and network layer, and do not interfere with each other.
[0069] The structured state data, control instruction response feedback and emergency alarm signal are packaged as the first type of data packet, protected by a lightweight encryption protocol, and transmitted through the ultra-reliable low-latency communication network slice.
[0070] The real-time video stream data is encoded into high-efficiency video coding format, packaged as the second type of data packet, and transmitted through the enhanced mobile broadband network slice with high throughput.
[0071] The 5G communication module has a built-in link quality monitoring module that can evaluate the signal strength, bit error rate and delay jitter of the two slices in real time, and automatically trigger the reconnection or switching mechanism when link degradation is detected, ensuring the continuous availability of communication.
[0072] In step S4, the cloud digital twin and the scheduling platform are deployed on a data center server cluster with high availability and elastic expansion capability.
[0073] The platform first receives data packets from all front-end terminals through the data access and decoding gateway, the decoding gateway decrypts, parses and checks the first type of data packet, extracts the structured state data and writes it into the real-time database; the decoding gateway decodes and stores the second type of data packet and establishes an association index with the corresponding device.
[0074] The digital twin modeling engine creates a unique virtual entity model for each connected front-end intelligent sensing execution terminal, which not only contains the three-dimensional geometric structure of the water tap, but also integrates fluid mechanics equations for simulating the dynamic changes of water pressure and flow, material fatigue cumulative damage models for evaluating the structural integrity of the valve body and sealing, and device kinematics models for describing the mechanical motion relationship during the opening and closing process of the valve.
[0075] The platform uses the structured state data uploaded in real time to drive the state synchronization of the digital twin model at a frequency of not less than 10Hz.
[0076] The state monitoring and predictive maintenance module continuously monitors the health indicators of each digital twin model, including pressure fluctuation amplitude, flow stability, acoustic anomaly energy, turbidity trend, vibration spectrum entropy, etc. The state monitoring and predictive maintenance module embeds a long short-term memory network model, which takes the historical state data sequence of the past 30 days as input and outputs the remaining effective life prediction value of the valve seal, high-precision electro-hydraulic actuator, and lithium iron phosphate battery pack.
[0077] When the predicted life is lower than the preset threshold, the system automatically generates a maintenance work order containing the device location, fault type, recommended replacement component, and priority, and pushes it to the operation and maintenance management system.
[0078] In step S5, the intelligent scheduling and control decision engine provides a visual human-computer interaction interface based on geographic information system technology, and the authorized operator can select the target water intake plug on the map and issue remote control instructions to open, close, or adjust to a specific opening degree.
[0079] Before the instruction is officially issued, the intelligent scheduling and control decision engine calls the digital twin modeling engine to perform pre-execution simulation on the digital twin model of the target device. The simulation process solves the transient fluid mechanics equation, calculates the pressure change curve of each node in the downstream pipe network after the instruction is executed, and evaluates whether negative pressure or overpressure phenomenon will occur; at the same time, it calculates the pressure wave peak value caused by water hammer effect to determine whether it exceeds the allowable stress of the pipe material; in addition, finite element analysis is also performed on the mechanical stress of the valve actuator during movement to ensure that structural damage will not occur due to overload.
[0080] All simulation results are compared with the preset safety threshold. Only when all key parameters are within the safe range, the engine will convert the original control instruction into a specific execution parameter sequence, which includes the angle value corresponding to the target opening degree of the valve, the maximum angular velocity limit during execution, and the acceleration curve defined in three sections, which is used to achieve smooth and impact-free valve movement.
[0081] In step S6, the execution parameter sequence is issued to the target front-end intelligent sensing execution terminal through the ultra-reliable low-latency communication network slice.
[0082] The low-latency and high-reliability characteristics of the ultra-reliable low-latency communication network slice ensure that the instruction is delivered within 5ms and still guarantees successful transmission under extreme network congestion conditions. The execution parameter sequence uses a structured binary format, including a check code and a version number, to prevent data tampering or parsing errors.
[0083] In step S7, after the edge computing and control unit of the front-end intelligent perception execution terminal receives the sequence of execution parameters, it first performs integrity check and version matching check. After the check is passed, the edge computing and control unit loads the target position, speed limit and acceleration curve parameters into the memory buffer of the closed-loop servo control algorithm.
[0084] The high-precision electric hydraulic actuator is composed of a brushless DC motor, a miniature bidirectional gear pump, a hydraulic valve block integrated with an electromagnetic reversing valve, a linear actuator cylinder and an absolute value photoelectric encoder.
