Attached Figure Description

[0028] Figure 1 An architecture diagram of a modular intelligent digital modeling underground space management system provided by the present invention;

[0029] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a modular intelligent digital modeling method for underground space management provided by this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] In this specification, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the term "underground space" refers to the space composed of inanimate objects such as natural geological bodies and man-made structures below the earth's surface, which is a continuum; "underground object" refers to an entity that occupies a certain position and range in the underground space, has a certain shape and properties, and has a certain spatial relationship with other objects; "topological surface" refers to the shared surface between underground modules formed based on vector data of a unified coordinate system and a unified scale, including shared surfaces between spaces, between underground spaces and underground objects, and between underground objects, which is part or all of the spatial object surface.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a modular intelligent digital modeling underground space management system, comprising:

[0033] Data storage layer: Used to store basic data on underground space, underground objects, pipe fitting models, and legends, forming an underground data twin database. Data in the data storage layer comes from input, import, and online mapping, providing the foundation for the data governance layer, the 3D model relationship layer, and data analysis.

[0034] The data storage layer includes: a data storage module for underground space (physical and chemical underground space data represented by grid core samples), a data storage module for underground objects, a data storage module for pipe fitting models, and a data storage module for legends.

[0035] The pipe fitting model data storage module designs pipe fittings as a unified library of pipe fitting model drawings, specifications, and colors.

[0036] Data governance layer: This layer performs data governance on the underground data twin database through steps such as building a data catalog, designing metadata, analyzing data content, performing data lineage analysis, cleaning, merging, and aligning, generating unique, computer-identifiable, and computable post-governance data. Data governance includes acquiring, classifying, merging, correcting, and editing data stored in the data storage layer. For data that is difficult for the system to govern, experts analyze and manually correct it, and then feed it back into the database.

[0037] The data governance layer includes a standard dictionary module for storing governed data entering the layer. Its primary function is data storage, and another important function is serving as a standard for data alignment. A coding management module is used for computer-computable identification of data lineage. This module enables the visualization of data uniqueness and lineage relationships, providing key values ​​for data computation. A coordinate management module is used to identify underground spaces, enabling the location of underground spaces and objects using vectorized data. An expert assessment module is included for data that cannot be aligned using technical means. Experts can use their professional experience and knowledge to compare data with data in the standard dictionary module, revise and align these data, and then feed the results back to the standard dictionary module.

[0038] Multidimensional Digital Model Relationship Layer: This layer uses knowledge graph technology and semantic association technology to vectorize, classify, and coordinate the data in the data governance layer, generating visualized knowledge graphs and topological relationship graphs. It constructs a large language model by continuously building new knowledge graphs and expanding the knowledge relationship graph through the analysis of data relationships and the learning and training of existing knowledge graphs, thus generating modular digital models and topological relationship graphs.

[0039] The multidimensional digital model relationship layer establishes a unified coordinate system and scale. Using semantic association technology and large language model training, it extracts attributes, performs semantic association, vectorizes data, unifies coordinate systems, and standardizes scales on remediated underground space (raster data represented by rock cores) and underground object data. This establishes spatial, attribute, and relational relationships between the underground space and underground object data, constructing modular digital models of underground space and underground objects. These modular digital models can be of different sizes and built as needed. Modular digital models include overall 3D models and segmented 3D models.

[0040] Using vector data obtained through data vectorization, points, lines, surfaces, and volumes are connected. Based on the spatial, attribute, and association relationships between underground space data and underground object data, continuous spaces and topological adjacency relationships are formed, generating topological relationship diagrams between spaces, between spaces and objects, and between objects.

[0041] The modular digital model and topological relationship diagram of the multidimensional digital model relationship layer include 0-dimensional model, one-dimensional model, two-dimensional model, three-dimensional model and topological model.

[0042] The multidimensional numerical model relation layer can form a complete topological surface for discrete objects in underground space using data and relational line segments, thus achieving the continuity of discrete space; it can form a topographic map for the location, extent, and characteristics of underground objects such as underground pipelines using data and vector line segments, showing the relative positional relationships; it can realize the establishment of modular models and meet the needs of exporting and inserting module data, achieving overall management with vector data; through the single-entity expression of entity data, inserted data expression, and topological data expression, it can display the characteristics of underground space and the relationships between underground objects with vectorized data, unified scale, and three-dimensional expression.

[0043] Spatial Digital Model Display Layer: Used to display modular digital models of underground spaces and objects, as well as topological relationship diagrams between spaces, between spaces and objects, and between objects.

[0044] The spatial digital model display layer can also be used to extract digital models and analyze individual attribute items and relational attribute items of underground spaces and underground objects.

[0045] Specifically, the spatial digital model display layer extracts digital models of the required scope based on the defined physical area, and conducts targeted analysis of individual attribute items and relational attribute items of underground space and underground objects, providing a scientific basis for underground space management such as the design, implementation and decision-making of underground data.

[0046] Model simulation demonstration layer: used to acquire segmented 3D models and topological relationship diagrams of underground spaces and objects, conduct analysis, design, and simulation exercises in the segmented 3D models, embed the design results into the corresponding positions of the overall digital model to form a new overall 3D model; or to accurately locate underground spaces and objects through the overall 3D model, and conduct accident analysis, plan formulation, simulation exercises, and risk assessment through the segmented 3D models and topological relationship diagrams.

[0047] The model simulation demonstration layer includes: single 3D model, overall 3D model, segmented 3D model, embedded 3D model, and accident model.

[0048] When the model simulation demonstration layer is used for new construction, renovation, or expansion needs, it obtains the segmented 3D model and topological relationship diagram of underground space and underground objects based on the needs. Analysis, design, and construction drills are carried out in the segmented 3D model. After the digital design is completed, the design results are embedded into the corresponding position of the overall digital model by embedding the 3D model to form an integrated 3D digital model, i.e., a new overall digital model.

[0049] The model simulation demonstration layer is used when emergency response needs arise. After an above-ground or underground event (accident) occurs, the accident location can be accurately located through the overall 3D model and individual 3D model of the underground space and underground objects. By analyzing the accident trend through the segmented 3D model and accident model, corresponding solutions can be formulated, response plan drills can be carried out, risks can be identified, and the response effect and efficiency can be improved.

[0050] The model simulation demonstration layer can also extract a full-element data model of a custom physical area, allowing designers, reviewers, and decision-makers to complete the simulation in a visual environment and then insert it into the original model. This enables data to be carried out before the actual project, thus avoiding various risks.

[0051] The model simulation demonstration layer can also provide a virtual visualization environment for activities such as construction management and emergency management, enabling scientific decision-making, unified management, precise application, and improved efficiency in underground engineering.

[0052] Big Data Presentation Layer: Used to display data that needs to be shown, such as the number of online users on the platform, the volume of different types of data, and the dynamics of key areas of focus.

[0053] The big data presentation layer includes a detection module, a big data display module, a login and authorization module, a knowledge map module, and a system maintenance module.

[0054] The system of this invention also includes a basic capability layer for time synchronization management, user management, organizational structure management, access control management, security management, and audit logs.

[0055] The basic capability layer includes a user management module, an organizational structure management module, a permission management module, a security management module, and an audit log module.

[0056] This invention also provides a modular intelligent digital modeling method for underground space management, comprising:

[0057] Step 1: Data acquisition and storage to form an underground data twin database.

[0058] The system acquires basic data on underground space, underground objects, pipe fitting models, and legends through three methods: data entry, import, and online mapping. This data is then stored to form an underground data twin database.

[0059] The underground space data includes surveying and mapping data and core data, while the underground object data includes underground pipeline data.

[0060] Step 2: Data governance, generating unique, computer-recognizable, and computable post-governance data.

[0061] Data governance is performed on the data in the underground data twin database to generate unique, computer-identifiable, and computable post-governance data. Data governance includes:

[0062] Data classification and fusion: Automatic classification and semantic fusion of stored data through knowledge graph technology and large language models;

[0063] Data correction and editing: By using a large language model, the data is corrected and edited to form complete data;

[0064] Data standardization output: Generate unique, computer-recognizable, and computable data.

[0065] Step 3: Data calculation, constructing a modular digital model and generating a topology diagram.

[0066] Attribute extraction, semantic association, data vectorization, unified coordinate system, and unified scale are performed on the treated underground space (raster data represented by rock cores) data and underground object data to form spatial relationships, attribute relationships, and association relationships between underground space data and underground object data, and to construct a modular digital model of underground space and underground objects.

[0067] Using vector data obtained through data vectorization, points, lines, surfaces, and volumes are connected. Based on the spatial, attribute, and association relationships between underground space data and underground object data, continuous spaces and topological adjacency relationships are formed, generating topological relationship diagrams between spaces, between spaces and objects, and between objects.

[0068] Step 4: Data visualization, including modular digital models and topology diagrams.

[0069] The modular digital model and topology diagram are displayed, including the modular digital model of underground space and underground objects, the topology diagram of space-to-space, the topology diagram of space-to-object, and the topology diagram of object-to-object.

[0070] Step 5: Data application – simulation demonstration using modular digital models and topology diagrams.

[0071] Obtain segmented 3D models and topological relationship diagrams of underground spaces and objects from modular digital models. Conduct analysis, design, and simulation exercises in the segmented 3D models. Embed the design results into the corresponding positions of the overall digital model to form a new overall 3D model. Alternatively, use the overall 3D model of underground spaces and objects for precise positioning. Use the segmented 3D models and topological relationship diagrams for accident analysis, plan development, simulation exercises, and risk assessment.

[0072] Step 6: Big data visualization to enable scientific management and decision-making.

[0073] The platform displays data such as the number of online users, the volume of different types of data, and the dynamics of key areas of focus; it also enables user management, organizational structure management, access control, security management, and audit logs.
