AI Technical Summary
During the pipeline transportation of high-concentration slurry, existing technologies are unable to achieve early warning and adaptive anti-clogging, leading to production interruptions and safety hazards. Traditional detection methods lack sensitivity, and pulse delivery systems lack the ability to sense the deposition state.
A multi-point detection is performed using an acoustic emission sensor array. Frequency band energy vectors and event counts are extracted through time-frequency analysis and envelope detection processing. A hidden Markov model is constructed to identify the hidden state of the pipeline, thereby realizing automatic slurry discharge control. High-frequency small pulse, low-frequency large pulse, or frequency sweep pulse mode are selected according to the hidden state.
It enables comprehensive perception and early warning of pipeline flow patterns, accurately identifies blockage risks, dynamically adjusts slurry discharge strategies, improves the safety and reliability of the conveying system, and avoids energy waste and equipment wear.
