Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water conservancy engineering and municipal pipeline maintenance technology, and particularly relates to an intelligent siltation detection method for water conservancy flood control pipelines based on physical rules. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, using robots to replace manual labor for pipeline dredging has become an industry consensus. However, in practical engineering applications, existing dredging equipment and methods still face the following significant technical bottlenecks:
[0003] First, the robot's motion mechanism lacks adaptability and stability to complex pipe shapes. Existing pipeline dredging robots mostly employ a single-unit rigid chassis structure. When facing curved pipes with small radii of curvature or unstructured terrain, this single-unit structure is prone to jamming or tipping over. Furthermore, during high-pressure water jetting or powerful mechanical breaking operations, the robot body is easily subjected to enormous recoil forces. The lack of an effective multi-body dynamics stability control mechanism makes it difficult to maintain the robot's operating posture, severely impacting dredging accuracy.
[0004] Second, the perception of sedimentation lacks physical mechanism support, making it difficult to achieve accurate inversion of rheological properties. Existing sedimentation detection technologies mostly rely on simple geometric measurements (such as thickness and volume) of visual or acoustic data, primarily processing data in Euclidean space. However, the inner wall of a pipe has typical non-Euclidean geometric features, and sediment often exhibits complex non-Newtonian fluid properties (such as yield stress and shear thinning). Traditional pure data-driven deep learning algorithms ("black box" models) lack the constraints of rheological physical equations (such as the Herschel-Bulkley constitutive equation), making it impossible to accurately distinguish whether the sediment is in a "sludge-like" or "hard-shell" state. This leads to a lack of basis for setting dredging parameters, easily resulting in phenomena such as "excessive breaking of soft sludge, wasting energy" or "hard shell, which cannot be cleared."
[0005] Third, dredging operations lack coordinated optimization and closed-loop control involving multiple physical fields. Existing dredging operations often employ open-loop control, meaning that once fixed ultrasonic power, jet pressure, and suction speed are set, no further adjustments are made. However, the dredging process involves strong coupling of multiple physical processes, including acoustics (ultrasonic cavitation), fluid dynamics (jet impact), and solid-liquid two-phase flow (slurry transport). For example, the matching of ultrasonic frequency and jet pressure directly determines the collapse efficiency of cavitation bubbles (Rayleigh-Plesset dynamics), while if the suction speed is below the critical flow velocity (Durand-Condolios theory), it can easily cause blockage of the sewage pipe. Current technologies lack a globally optimal control algorithm (such as a control law based on the HJB equation) that can unify and integrate the above physical dynamic models, making it impossible to achieve intelligent adaptive closed-loop control from perception to execution.
[0006] In summary, the key to solving the above problems lies in developing a physical knowledge-guided intelligent dredging equipment and method for water conservancy and flood control pipelines that adopts a split adaptive structure and integrates physical information neural network (PINN), cavitation dynamics, and global optimal control theory.
[0007] Patent application CN120291607A discloses a suction-type intelligent dredging robot and dredging method for underground drainage pipes. It can automate and intelligently diagnose and dredge siltation in underground drainage pipe networks within a certain maintenance area. However, the robot relies heavily on algorithms and mechanically breaks up pipes using an electric hammer, without further algorithmic improvements to enhance operational safety at pipe defects. Furthermore, the robot's single-unit structure makes it less adaptable to bends in pipes compared to a modular design. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the problems of difficulty in diagnosing pipeline siltation, low dredging efficiency, and poor operational stability in existing technologies under complex flow field environments, this invention provides an intelligent siltation detection method for water conservancy and flood control pipelines based on physical rules.

[0075] Example:
[0076] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a smart siltation detection method for water conservancy and flood control pipelines based on physical rules includes the following steps:

The operation control box, which is placed on the ground and fixed, receives the operation control command and the fluid state index data transmitted by the cable 24. The operation control box then transmits the signal to drive the robot's motor system to start.
[0078] S2, Model Building Stage: The ultrasonic flaw detection sensor and pressure sensor are activated, the Doppler flow velocity sensor 10 starts flow velocity detection, and the intelligent diagnosis algorithm for siltation in water conservancy and flood control pipelines combines the design parameters (pipe diameter, slope) and real-time flow field data of water conservancy and flood control pipelines to adjust the telescopic support arm 1 so that the operating robot is in the best operating posture. At the same time, the multi-channel ultrasonic crushing rotating head 4 drives the ultrasonic thickness measuring sensor 15 and the lidar 16 to start rotating and scanning the water conservancy and flood control pipelines, and initially constructs a three-dimensional distribution map of siltation in water conservancy and flood control pipelines.

If new deposits are found, the high-pressure nozzle 5 and the multi-channel ultrasonic crushing rotating head 4 are triggered to start, and the new deposits are targeted for dredging, thus completing the dredging of a section of the water conservancy and flood control pipeline.
