Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of municipal drainage monitoring technology, and in particular relates to a rainwater pipe network discharge detection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the deepening of sponge city construction and urban water environment management, the online and accurate monitoring of stormwater pipe networks, as the core carrier of urban drainage systems, is a crucial means to control non-point source pollution, investigate and punish illegal sewage discharge, and ensure water ecological security. Existing commercially available online monitoring devices for stormwater pipe networks generally suffer from the following unresolved core pain points in engineering applications:

[0003] 1. Insufficient pollution and blockage prevention capabilities: Existing devices only use fixed grids for simple filtration. Mud, fallen leaves, and oil in the rainwater pipe network can easily cause blockage of the flow channels and contamination and scaling of the sensor detection end face, resulting in drift and distortion of detection data. The operation and maintenance cycle is only 7-15 days, and the operation and maintenance cost is extremely high. At the same time, the multi-parameter sensors are installed in a decentralized manner, and the sampling time and water sample environment are different, resulting in poor data consistency and failing to provide a reliable basis for judging abnormal discharge.

[0004] 2. Poor adaptability to flow detection conditions: Existing devices mostly use a single ultrasonic level meter or electromagnetic flow meter. Rainwater pipe networks have extreme conditions such as full pipe, non-full pipe, low flow rate, and flow interruption. The detection error of a single sensor exceeds 10% under non-full pipe and low flow rate conditions, which cannot meet the requirements for accurate detection under all conditions. Moreover, there is no automatic sampling mechanism for linkage of detection data, and abnormal events cannot be traced and evidenced, thus losing the core basis for administrative law enforcement.

[0005] 3. Lack of distributed linkage and closed-loop management capabilities: Existing devices are all single-node independent operations, which can only realize data collection and uploading, and cannot realize synchronous collection and linkage comparison of multiple nodes in the upstream and downstream of the pipeline, and cannot accurately locate the source of illegal discharge; at the same time, they only have monitoring functions, and lack closed-loop execution mechanisms for on-site interception and graded early warning, and cannot build a full-process management system of detection-location-early warning-disposal, resulting in extremely low pollution prevention and control efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, a rainwater drainage network discharge detection device is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0064] 1. Water inlet pretreatment and self-cleaning stage: The water in the rainwater pipe network first enters the ultrasonic self-cleaning pretreatment module 5. The water flow first passes through the automatic backwashing filter unit 51, where large particles such as mud, fallen leaves, and domestic waste are intercepted by the stacked filter screen. The industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41 controls the automatic backwashing filter unit 51 to perform backwashing operation at regular intervals based on the pressure difference data before and after the filter unit, removing the intercepted impurities and preventing flow channel blockage. The filtered water flows into the water inlet pressure stabilizing unit 53, eliminating water flow turbulence and forming a stable flow and pressure detection zone. At the same time, the industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41 controls the high-frequency ultrasonic generator submodule 521 to drive the ultrasonic transducer 522 to work at regular intervals, forming a high-frequency ultrasonic cavitation effect on the detection end face of the multi-parameter sensor group 21, thoroughly removing the attached mud, oil, and microbial film, realizing online self-cleaning of the sensor detection end face, and ensuring long-term stable detection accuracy.

[0065] 2. Multi-parameter water quality synchronous detection stage: The water in the inlet pressure stabilizing unit 53 is tested for water quality parameters by the multi-parameter water quality synchronous detection module 2. The synchronous acquisition control submodule 22 simultaneously sends acquisition commands to the COD detection sensor 211, ammonia nitrogen detection sensor 212, suspended solids detection sensor 213, pH detection sensor 214, and static pressure level sensor 215 of the multi-parameter sensor group 21, realizing microsecond-level synchronous acquisition of all water quality parameters and completely eliminating the time difference between the sampling times of different sensors. At the same time, the detection end faces of all water quality detection sensors are on the same horizontal plane, ensuring that all sensors are in the same water sample environment, eliminating detection errors caused by spatial differences, and obtaining accurate and consistent water quality detection data. The static pressure level sensor 215 detects the liquid level height in the detection area in real time, providing basic data for subsequent flow compensation calibration. The synchronous acquisition control submodule 22 transmits the collected water quality data to the industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41 in real time.

[0066] 3. Multi-sensor fusion flow calibration and anomaly sampling stage: The water in the rainwater pipe network is flow-detected by the multi-sensor fusion flow adaptive calibration module 3. The ultrasonic flow sensor 311 of the multi-source flow detection unit 31 detects the water velocity data in real time, the radar level sensor 312 detects the liquid level data in the pipe network in real time, and the differential pressure sensor 313 detects the differential pressure data of the flowing pipeline in real time. All data are synchronously transmitted to the operating condition adaptive calibration submodule 32. The operating condition adaptive calibration submodule 32 automatically determines the current operating condition of the pipe network (full pipe / not full pipe / low flow rate) based on the liquid level data and flow velocity data, and automatically matches the corresponding multi-sensor fusion algorithm to perform real-time adaptive calibration of the flow data. The system uses a calibrated compensation method to eliminate detection errors caused by changes in operating conditions, achieving high-precision flow detection across the entire operating range. The calibrated flow data is then transmitted to the industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41. When the industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41 determines that an abnormal discharge event exists based on water quality and flow data, it immediately sends a trigger command to the sample retention control submodule 331 of the automatic traceability sample retention unit 33. The sample retention control submodule 331 controls the quantitative sampling solenoid valve group 332 to open, quantitatively collecting the water sample currently flowing through the pipeline into the corresponding sample bottle of the multi-channel sample retention storage unit 333. The water sample data is bound and stored one by one with the corresponding detection data, timestamp, and operating condition data, enabling traceability and evidence collection of abnormal discharge events.

[0067] 4. Distributed Linkage Control and Closed-Loop Disposal Stage: During device operation, the industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41 processes locally collected water quality and flow data in real time. Simultaneously, through the pipeline node linkage communication submodule 43, it sends synchronous acquisition commands to other detection nodes upstream and downstream of the rainwater pipeline to obtain synchronous detection data from upstream and downstream nodes. Through time-series comparison and concentration change analysis of multi-node data, the source of abnormal discharge is accurately located. At the same time, the industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41 uploads local detection data, abnormal event information, and pollution source location results to the urban drainage management cloud platform in real time through the industrial wireless communication submodule 42 to achieve remote monitoring and management. When a severe abnormal discharge event is detected, the industrial edge computing gateway submodule 41 directly sends control commands to the abnormal discharge closed-loop execution unit 44. The electric shut-off valve control submodule 441 closes the electric shut-off valve at the outlet of the pipeline to achieve on-site interception of abnormal sewage, preventing abnormal sewage from entering natural water bodies and causing pollution. At the same time, the audible and visual alarm submodule 442 activates on-site graded early warning to notify maintenance personnel to arrive at the scene in time for disposal, completing the entire closed-loop control process.

[0068] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
