At the same time, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 is set in the underground utility tunnel communication node 100, which does not rely on external wired power supply and will not affect the deployment flexibility of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100. The encapsulation protection layer 130 is the external protection structure of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100, which undertakes multiple protection functions such as physical protection, environmental isolation, and structural support.
[0026] In the underground utility tunnel communication node of this application embodiment, the perovskite photovoltaic layer in the underground utility tunnel communication node is electrically connected to the circuit functional layer. The perovskite photovoltaic layer can convert light energy into electrical energy and supply power to the circuit functional layer. Utilizing the high-efficiency power generation capability of the perovskite photovoltaic layer under low light conditions, it can continuously supply power to the underground utility tunnel communication node without affecting the deployment flexibility of the underground utility tunnel communication node.
[0027] Below, for reference Figure 1 The underground utility tunnel communication node 100 of this application embodiment will be described in detail, wherein, Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an underground utility tunnel communication node in one embodiment of this application.
[0028] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 may be used in the underground utility tunnel communication network system described below or other types of underground utility tunnel communication network systems, and this application does not limit this.
[0029] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is adapted to be fixed to the inner wall of the underground utility tunnel or other areas of the underground utility tunnel, and this application does not limit this. Exemplarily, the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 can be fixed to the inner wall of the underground utility tunnel by a combination of magnetic attraction and adhesive; specifically, a thermally conductive adhesive layer can be provided between the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 and the inner wall surface of the underground utility tunnel to facilitate heat dissipation of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100; more specifically, the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is adapted to be fixed to the inner wall of the underground utility tunnel through the side where the circuit functional layer 110 is located, and a thermally conductive adhesive layer is provided between the circuit functional layer 110 and the inner wall surface of the underground utility tunnel.
[0030] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the circuit functional layer 110, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120, and the encapsulation protection layer 130 in the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 all adopt a flexible structure design (for example, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 can be made of flexible perovskite material), which enables the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 to be attached to curved structures, thereby enhancing the adaptability and deployment flexibility of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 in the underground utility tunnel environment.
[0031] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the circuit functional layer 110 and the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120, as well as the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 and the encapsulation protection layer 130, are bonded together by a flexible adhesive, thereby improving the adhesion between the film layers and further enhancing the flexibility of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100.
[0032] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 is made of CH3NH3PbI3, which is used for energy conversion in low-light environments. In other embodiments, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 may be made of any other suitable perovskite material, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0033] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 is prepared by a solution method. The perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 prepared by the solution method exhibits better uniformity and is more suitable for the miniaturized design of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100; simultaneously, the solution method also facilitates the fabrication of flexible perovskite photovoltaic layers 120. Specifically, the solution method used in this application to prepare the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 is a broad preparation method, encompassing all techniques for processing perovskite precursor solutions into thin films. For example, the solution method in this application may include various processes such as slot coating and spin coating.
[0034] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 can power the circuit functional layer 110 via a DC-DC conversion circuit, wherein the DC-DC conversion circuit can be integrated into the circuit functional layer 110. In other embodiments, the perovskite photovoltaic layer 120 can also be electrically connected to the circuit functional layer 110 via other power transmission structures.

Exemplarily, the circuit functional layer 110 may also include other commonly used modules, which will not be described in detail here.
[0036] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the microprocessor is the control core of the circuit functional layer 110, responsible for coordinating the operation and logic scheduling of hardware modules.

In other embodiments, the encapsulation protective layer 130 may be made of any other suitable material, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0040] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the encapsulation protective layer 130 is formed using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. In other embodiments, the encapsulation protective layer 130 may also be formed using any other suitable process, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0041] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the thickness of the encapsulation protective layer 130 is 0.1 mm. In other embodiments, the thickness of the encapsulation protective layer 130 can be reasonably set based on actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0042] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the length and width of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 are both 50 mm, and the thickness of the underground utility tunnel communication node is less than or equal to 1 mm. It is worth noting that when the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is fixed to the inner wall of the underground utility tunnel, the length and width directions of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 are parallel to the inner wall surface, and the thickness direction of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is perpendicular to the inner wall surface. In other embodiments, the length, width, and thickness of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 can be reasonably set based on actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.
[0043] This concludes the description of the structure of the underground utility tunnel communication node according to the embodiments of this application. It is understood that the underground utility tunnel communication node of this application includes not only the structure described above, but may also include other necessary structures, all of which are included within the scope of the underground utility tunnel communication node of this application. When the underground utility tunnel communication node of this application also includes other structures requiring power supply, the perovskite photovoltaic layer can also be electrically connected to these structures to supply power to them.
[0044] In summary, the underground utility tunnel communication node of this application has a perovskite photovoltaic layer electrically connected to the circuit functional layer. The perovskite photovoltaic layer can convert light energy into electrical energy and supply power to the circuit functional layer. By utilizing the high-efficiency power generation capability of the perovskite photovoltaic layer under low light conditions, it can continuously supply power to the underground utility tunnel communication node without affecting the flexibility of the deployment of the underground utility tunnel communication node.
[0045] This application also provides an underground utility tunnel communication network system, such as... Figure 2As shown, the underground utility tunnel communication network system includes: multiple underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100 as described above, which establish communication connections with each other via wireless links; and multiple inspection robots 200, which establish communication connections with the underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100 via wireless links. Exemplarily, the underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100 in the underground utility tunnel communication network system are adapted to be fixed to the inner wall of the underground utility tunnel, and the multiple underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the inner wall, with the spacing between adjacent underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100 being 5 to 10 meters; the inspection robots 200 can move along the bottom of the underground utility tunnel. Exemplarily, any two inspection robots 200 can directly communicate with each other via a wireless link (for example, when the distance between two inspection robots 200 is close, the two inspection robots 200 can directly communicate with each other), or they can establish communication connections through the underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100.
[0046] It is understood that the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 in the underground utility tunnel communication network system of this application embodiment has been described in detail above. In order to avoid repetition, it will not be described again here. For explanations and descriptions of the content related to the underground utility tunnel communication node 100, please refer to the description above.
[0047] The underground utility tunnel communication network system of this application embodiment includes a perovskite photovoltaic layer as the underground utility tunnel communication node. By utilizing the high-efficiency power generation capability of the perovskite photovoltaic layer under low light conditions, it can continuously power the underground utility tunnel communication node without affecting the deployment flexibility of the underground utility tunnel communication node. This solves the problems of energy limitation and inflexible deployment of the underground utility tunnel communication node in the underground utility tunnel communication network system.
[0048] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the operation process of the underground utility tunnel communication network system of this application includes an initialization phase, a network topology self-organization construction phase, a stable operation phase, and an energy collaborative management phase, wherein: When the underground utility tunnel communication network system is in the initialization phase, each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 automatically powers on, initializes, and enters the domain discovery state. At this time, each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 periodically broadcasts detection signals including node identifiers and energy status to establish a neighbor relationship table.
[0049] When the underground utility tunnel communication network system is in the self-organizing construction phase of network topology, such as Figure 3 As shown, the underground utility tunnel communication network system evaluates the received signal strength and quality of each underground utility tunnel communication node 100, and uses a distributed algorithm to elect cluster head nodes to form a hierarchical network structure, that is, to form a self-organizing network through the network topology self-organizing process; among them, the cluster head nodes are responsible for data aggregation and routing forwarding.
[0050] When the underground utility tunnel communication network system is in a stable operation phase, each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 automatically adjusts its working mode according to the light intensity of its environment.
[0051] When the underground utility tunnel communication network system is in the energy collaborative management stage, the perovskite photovoltaic layer of each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 continuously supplies power to each underground utility tunnel communication node 100. The underground utility tunnel communication network system dynamically adjusts the communication frequency and transmission power of each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 based on the energy status of each underground utility tunnel communication node 100.
[0052] Thus, the underground utility tunnel communication network system of this application embodiment achieves intelligent networking through network self-organizing topology, and solves the problems of limited energy of communication nodes, unstable signal transmission and poor network reliability in the underground utility tunnel communication network system by combining energy collaborative management and the application of perovskite photovoltaic layers in underground utility tunnel communication nodes.
[0053] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the operation of the underground utility tunnel communication network system further includes a network maintenance phase. During this phase, the system continuously monitors the status of the wireless links through the various underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100. When a wireless link communication interruption is detected, and / or when one or more underground utility tunnel communication nodes 100 fail, network connectivity is restored through local topology reconstruction and route updates. In other words, the underground utility tunnel communication network system of this application can also automatically reconstruct communication links through a self-organizing network architecture, achieving autonomous maintenance and further improving network reliability.
[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the above-described operational phases can be carried out in parallel without conflict. For example, during the operation of the underground utility tunnel communication network system, the initialization phase is entered first; then, the network topology self-organization construction phase is entered; then, the stable operation phase, energy collaborative management phase, and network maintenance phase are entered simultaneously.
[0055] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 includes multiple operating modes. Each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 automatically adjusts its operating mode based on the ambient light intensity, including: when the ambient light intensity of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is greater than a first preset threshold, the operating mode of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is a normal operating mode; when the ambient light intensity of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is less than or equal to the first preset threshold but greater than a second preset threshold, the operating mode of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is an energy-saving operating mode; when the ambient light intensity of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, the operating mode of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is an extreme power-saving operating mode; wherein, when the first preset threshold is greater than the second preset threshold, the communication frequency and transmission power of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 decrease sequentially in the normal operating mode, energy-saving operating mode, and extreme power-saving operating mode.
[0056] Specifically, when the ambient light intensity of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is greater than the first preset threshold, sufficient light is confirmed, and the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 maintains normal communication frequency and transmission power. The underground utility tunnel communication node 100 has high power consumption to maximize network performance and communication reliability. When the ambient light intensity of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is less than or equal to the first preset threshold but greater than the second preset threshold, weak light is confirmed, and the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 switches to energy-saving mode, reducing communication frequency (e.g., reducing broadcast or data reporting frequency) and transmission power. When the ambient light intensity of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is less than or equal to the second preset threshold, weak light is confirmed, and the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 switches to extreme power-saving mode, reducing communication frequency and transmission power to the minimum. The underground utility tunnel communication node 100 only maintains heartbeat signals or responds to network wake-up calls, with extremely short communication distances.
[0057] In this way, by adjusting the working mode of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 based on the light intensity, it is beneficial to the long-term self-sustaining operation of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100, and at the same time, it can achieve the optimal energy allocation of the underground utility tunnel communication network system.
[0058] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 infers the ambient light intensity based on the voltage and current data generated by photovoltaics, thereby switching its working mode.
[0059] In one exemplary embodiment of this application, the first preset threshold is 200 lux and the second preset threshold is 50 lux. In other embodiments, the first and second preset thresholds may be any other suitable values, and this application does not impose any limitations on them.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, when the energy collaborative management phase and the stable operation phase are carried out in parallel, on the one hand, each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 automatically adjusts its operating mode based on the ambient light intensity, such as adjusting to a normal operating mode, an energy-saving operating mode, or an extreme power-saving operating mode; on the other hand, the underground utility tunnel communication network system dynamically adjusts the communication frequency and transmission power of each underground utility tunnel communication node 100 in its current operating mode based on the energy status of each underground utility tunnel communication node 100. For example, when the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 is in the normal operating mode, the underground utility tunnel communication network system further dynamically adjusts the communication frequency and transmission power of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100 based on factors such as the amount of data transmitted and the transmission distance of the underground utility tunnel communication node 100, on the basis of the reference communication frequency and reference transmission power of the normal operating mode.
[0061] In summary, the underground utility tunnel communication network system of this application realizes intelligent networking and autonomous maintenance through network self-organizing topology, and solves the problems of limited energy of communication nodes, unstable signal transmission and poor network reliability in the underground utility tunnel communication network system by combining energy collaborative management and the application of perovskite photovoltaic layers in underground utility tunnel communication nodes.

Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope.
