Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of underwater monitoring technology, and in particular to a seabed disaster monitoring module erosion instrument and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] The erosion meter module for monitoring seabed disasters has long faced a technical bottleneck due to low data acquisition efficiency. Traditional erosion meters mostly employ timed or triggered acquisition modes, making it difficult to balance sampling frequency and resolution. This results in the inability to capture high-frequency dynamic changes during critical processes such as sudden seabed landslides and sediment migration. Data storage and transmission modules rely on limited local storage capacity or low-bandwidth underwater acoustic communication, preventing the real-time transmission of large amounts of raw data and severely impacting monitoring timeliness. Furthermore, insufficient power consumption control in existing sensors restricts the long-term continuous operation capability of the equipment. In addition, the lack of intelligent adaptive sampling strategies leads to excessive acquisition of redundant data during calm periods, while potentially missing crucial information during disaster events. These limitations make it difficult for existing systems to meet the demands for high-precision, real-time seabed disaster early warning. Summary of the Invention

[0032] To achieve the above objectives, another aspect of the embodiments of this application proposes a seabed disaster monitoring system, the system including a host computer, a network switch, a data gateway, and at least one of the above-mentioned seabed disaster monitoring modules, an erosion meter; The network switch is connected to the host computer and the data gateway via Ethernet. The data gateway is connected to the seabed disaster monitoring module erosion instrument via RS485.

[0033] The following sections will provide a detailed description and explanation of some optional embodiments of this application, using specific application examples.

[0034] The seabed disaster monitoring module erosion meter (hereinafter referred to as the erosion meter) of this application embodiment is an online high-precision echo elevation measuring instrument. It adopts an online working mode and RS485 communication design, making it very convenient to use. Combined with the seabed disaster monitoring module system software, it can conveniently and efficiently complete underwater monitoring and data retrieval.

[0035] Application scenarios: measurement of erosion deposits in riverbeds and seabeds, sediment research, monitoring of cages in deep-sea aquaculture industry, research on bridge erosion, elevation measurement, tide monitoring, wave height measurement, and port safety monitoring.

[0036] The technical solutions of this application include: 1) Echo frequency conversion electroacoustic transducer: can be used for low-frequency detection distance confirmation and adaptive testing, and high-frequency testing for high-resolution testing. Frequency conversion testing can also improve the effect of single-frequency testing in some cases such as water turbidity; 2) Acoustic driver board: the acoustic board is modified for computing needs; 3) Data recording unit: adds self-capacitance and online coexistence functions; data can be easily retransmitted in case of real-time anomalies; 4) Software real-time display module: software module optimization, improving real-time display and data storage functions.

[0037] The erosion meter primarily reports two types of data: water depth and water temperature. Installed below the water surface, the meter calculates water depth by transmitting and receiving sound waves. Water temperature data is acquired by a temperature sensor located at the probe's position. The erosion meter periodically collects and reports water depth and temperature data at a configured frequency.

[0038] The host computer sets the data acquisition frequency and sends it to the erosion instrument, allowing it to periodically receive data reported by the instrument. The host computer then parses the received data to extract water depth and temperature information, saves it to a local database, and displays the water depth and temperature data dynamically in real-time as line graphs. The host computer can receive and store data from multiple erosion instruments simultaneously, but only displays the water depth and temperature change curves from one instrument at a time.

[0039] Features: Online real-time monitoring, user-friendly GUI software, compact and lightweight, remote control, and easy expansion.

[0040] For example, Figure 1 This is an external view of the erosion apparatus according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a dimensional diagram of the erosion apparatus according to an embodiment of this application.

[0041] For example, the performance parameters of the erosion instrument in this application embodiment are shown in Table 1.

[0042] Table 1 Performance parameters of the erosion instrument

[0043] Reference Figure 3 The erosion instrument, when combined with a data gateway, enables simultaneous monitoring of multiple erosion instruments and converts the original RS485 communication to Ethernet communication. Through Ethernet communication with a PC, remote control and real-time online data display can be achieved.

[0044] The PC-based seabed disaster monitoring module system software connects to the data gateway via a TCP client, sending data to or retrieving data from the erosion instrument. The data gateway receives TCP network data from the PC and sends it to the erosion instrument via an RS485 interface. Simultaneously, it receives RS485 communication data from the erosion instrument and sends it to the PC via a TCP connection.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 The erosion instrument mainly consists of a pressure chamber, a watertight socket, a power management board, a data acquisition board, and a transducer.

[0046] The power management board performs two main functions: first, it converts the voltage of the external input power supply (9~36V) into the operating voltage (3.3V, 5V) matched to the data acquisition board; second, it amplifies the low-voltage analog signal sent from the data acquisition board to high voltage and then transmits it to the transducer to generate sound waves for detecting water depth.

[0047] The pressure chamber primarily protects the internal components, providing both waterproofing and pressure resistance. The watertight connector connects to the data gateway via a watertight cable, enabling power supply and communication. The power management board primarily provides power to the data acquisition board and transducers.

[0048] The data acquisition board workflow is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0049] The data acquisition board performs elevation measurements via transducers and completes parameter configuration, data reporting, and start / stop control via RS485. The transducer converts the electrical signals output by the data acquisition board into sound signals for transmission and sends them out, and converts the received sound signals back into electrical signals for transmission to the data acquisition board.

[0050] The host computer connects to the erosion instrument via a network and can connect to multiple erosion instruments simultaneously, distinguished by their device identification numbers. The host computer can set the acquisition frequency, start or stop the acquisition operation, and send these communication commands to the erosion instrument via the network, enabling parameter setting and start / stop control functions.

[0051] The erosion instrument operates on a constant power supply and maintains a continuous connection with the host computer. The host computer can select the acquisition frequency in milliseconds, with a minimum of 100 milliseconds, and send the settings to the erosion instrument to configure the acquisition and reporting frequency. The host computer can select a connected erosion instrument and click "Start Acquisition," sending a start acquisition command to the instrument. Upon receiving the command, the erosion instrument will periodically acquire and report data. Similarly, the host computer can select a connected erosion instrument and send a stop acquisition command; the designated erosion instrument will immediately cease acquisition upon receiving the command.

[0052] The data acquisition board receives communication commands via the RS485 interface and analyzes the commands through protocol parsing. If a setting command is received, the setting parameters are saved.

[0053] If a start acquisition command is received, a start timer is set according to the acquisition frequency. The timer triggers the acquisition process periodically, and the data acquisition board outputs a specific frequency signal to the power management board. The power management board amplifies the signal and outputs it to the electroacoustic transducer, which converts the electrical signal into an acoustic signal and transmits it. After transmission, the data acquisition board switches the transducer circuit to receiving mode, receives the acoustic signal, acquires and analyzes the received signal, and calculates the elevation based on the transmission and reception durations. Simultaneously, it communicates with the water temperature sensor to acquire water temperature data, packages the elevation and water temperature data according to the communication protocol, and sends them to the host computer via the RS485 interface. After completing the data transmission, it waits for the next timer trigger to begin the next round of acquisition, repeating this process until a stop acquisition command is received.

[0054] If a stop data collection command is received, the data collection process will stop and the system will enter standby mode.

[0055] To achieve the above objectives, another aspect of this application provides a control device for a seabed disaster monitoring module erosion instrument, applied to the aforementioned seabed disaster monitoring module erosion instrument, the device comprising: The acquisition setting unit is used to set the acquisition frequency using a host computer and send the acquisition frequency to the erosion instrument; The acquisition and detection unit is used to detect whether the timer corresponding to the acquisition frequency is triggered using the data acquisition board. A sound wave generation unit is used to generate and emit sound waves using the transducer if a timer corresponding to the acquisition frequency is triggered. An echo judgment unit is used to receive the echo of the sound wave using the data acquisition board and determine whether the echo meets the set conditions. A water depth calculation unit is used to calculate the water depth based on the echo using the data acquisition board if the echo meets the set conditions. A water temperature measurement unit is used to measure water temperature via a temperature sensor. The data reporting unit is used to send the water depth and water temperature to the host computer using the data acquisition board.
