However, the traditional manual tapping method has significant drawbacks:

[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0043] Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] A preferred embodiment of the intelligent detection system and method for the sound spectrum of lining impact provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 1-9 As shown: A lining impact acoustic spectrum intelligent detection system includes a vehicle-mounted mobile platform, a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm impact system, an acoustic signal acquisition system, a vision-assisted positioning system, and a central processing unit. The central processing unit establishes bidirectional communication and control connections with the other modules through a CAN bus, a data acquisition card, and control signal lines. The lidar and structured light 3D reconstruction module transmit tunnel 3D data to the central processing unit. The central processing unit outputs control commands to the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm impact system, the acoustic signal acquisition system, and the vision-assisted positioning system. The modules work together to achieve full-coverage intelligent detection, ensuring precise linkage between data acquisition, analysis, and storage.
[0046] The vehicle-mounted mobile platform carries various systems to move within the tunnel. The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm tapping system dynamically maintains the optimal tapping angle of 15°-20° through an angle adjustment mechanism, achieving non-repetitive full-coverage tapping of the tunnel lining. The acoustic signal acquisition system integrates a high-performance directional microphone with noise reduction and synchronous acquisition structure. The visual-assisted positioning system links with the AI recognition module to trigger shooting and complete coordinate transformation. The central processing unit intelligently analyzes the data through a specific AI model, solving the problems of strong subjectivity, low efficiency, difficulty in recording, and high safety risks associated with traditional manual tapping methods.
[0047] The directional microphone array of the acoustic signal acquisition system is connected to the input terminal of the data acquisition card through a low-noise preamplifier. The bandpass filter is integrated into the acquisition circuit, forming a signal processing link with the data acquisition card. The synchronous pulse output terminal of the hammer drive mechanism is connected to the trigger terminal of the data acquisition card through a signal line to achieve precise synchronization between the hammering action and the sound signal acquisition. The acquired sound signal is transmitted to the central processing unit through the data acquisition card for preprocessing and feature extraction.
[0048] The acoustic signal acquisition system's 4-microphone array is connected to the preamplifier via a signal aggregator. The acoustic signals acquired by each microphone are integrated by the aggregator and then input into the preamplifier for gain adjustment. After being filtered by a bandpass filter, they are finally converted into digital signals by the data acquisition card and transmitted to the central processing unit. The layout of the microphone array is fixed by cable connections to ensure the directional acquisition effect of the acoustic signals.
[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the directional microphone of the acoustic signal acquisition system has a frequency response range of 20Hz-20kHz, a cardioid directivity, and a sensitivity of ≤-38dBV / Pa. The microphone is equipped with a physical soundproof cover and adopts a 4-microphone array technology combined with an adaptive active noise reduction algorithm to effectively suppress ambient noise. The acquisition circuit integrates a low-noise preamplifier and an 80Hz-8kHz bandpass filter. The preamplifier gain is adjustable from 20-60dB, and the filter stopband attenuation is ≥40dB / decade. The sound signal acquisition and the striking action are precisely synchronized through the synchronous trigger signal of the central processing unit. When the hammer driving mechanism moves, it outputs a synchronization pulse to trigger the data acquisition card to acquire the sound signal at a sampling rate of 48kHz, with a time synchronization error of ≤10μs.
[0050] The high-definition industrial camera of the vision-assisted positioning system is connected to the output of the AI recognition module of the central processing unit via GPIO signal lines to receive abnormal result trigger signals; the camera's image transmission interface is connected to the image acquisition card of the central processing unit to transmit defect images in real time; the lidar and structured light 3D reconstruction module communicate with the central processing unit via Ethernet interface to transmit the tunnel's global 3D coordinates and local point cloud data, providing basic data support for defect pixel coordinate transformation.
[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the high-definition industrial camera of the vision-assisted positioning system is triggered to capture images in real time by the abnormal results output by the AI recognition module. It also supports backup shooting at preset intervals. The image and acoustic data are precisely aligned with the local high-precision clock through GPS timestamps, with a time deviation of ≤50μs. The system integrates a lidar and a structured light 3D reconstruction module. The lidar acquires the global 3D coordinates of the tunnel lining, and the structured light scanning constructs a local high-precision point cloud. The coordinates of defect pixels in the image are converted into absolute 3D coordinates of mileage + circumferential angle + radial depth in the tunnel through camera intrinsic parameter calibration, extrinsic parameter calibration, and point cloud registration algorithms. The camera resolution is ≥5 million pixels and the frame rate is ≥30fps to ensure clear capture of defect images.
[0052] The angle adjustment mechanism (universal joint) of the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm striking system establishes a signal connection with the central processing unit through an angle sensor. The angle sensor collects the current striking angle data in real time. The central processing unit calculates the adjustment amount through a PID algorithm based on the lining surface data transmitted by the lidar, and then controls the servo motor of the angle adjustment mechanism through a servo driver to dynamically maintain the optimal striking angle.
[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm striking system includes multiple independently controllable robotic arms. The central processing unit has a built-in full-coverage path planning algorithm. It obtains the tunnel cross-sectional dimensions (radius, central angle) through LiDAR scanning, dynamically plans the number and layout of the robotic arms, and divides the tunnel into non-overlapping detection areas according to the circumferential and longitudinal directions. Each robotic arm operates independently in its zone and avoids motion coupling through an anti-collision algorithm. The longitudinal track at the end of the robotic arm moves in coordination with the striking hammer to form a gridded striking path, ensuring that there are no blind spots and no repetitions in the detection. Each robotic arm is equipped with a 2-meter-long track at its end. The striking hammer is driven by a servo motor to move along the track. It adopts closed-loop feedback control with a grating ruler, and the movement positioning accuracy reaches ±1mm. The track and the robotic arm body are connected by a hinge joint to achieve multi-dimensional posture adjustment.
[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the optimal striking angle of 15°-20° is determined based on the theory of sound wave reflection and a large amount of experimental data. Within this angle range, the reflection path of sound waves inside the lining is most conducive to the propagation of defect signals. Compared with vertical striking, the sound signal-to-noise ratio is improved by more than 30%, and the defect detection rate is improved by 25%. The angle adjustment mechanism at the end of the robotic arm is a universal joint combined with a rotary joint driven by a servo motor. The built-in angle sensor collects the current angle in real time. The central processing unit dynamically adjusts the servo motor through a PID algorithm based on the lining surface data obtained by the lidar, ensuring that the angle is always kept within the set range during the striking process, with an angle control accuracy of ≤0.5°.
[0055] The central processing unit's artificial intelligence analysis algorithm adopts a hybrid CNN and Transformer model architecture. The input layer is a spectrum (256×256 dimensions) obtained by FFT transformation of a 48kHz sampling rate acoustic signal. The hidden layers include 8 convolutional layers (3×3 kernel size), 4 Transformer encoders (8 attention heads), and 2 fully connected layers. The output layer is a multi-class probability distribution. The extracted acoustic features include 18 key features such as Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (24 dimensions), spectral centroid, spectral bandwidth, peak factor, kurtosis, and impulse factor.
[0056] The model is trained on a database of over 100,000 labeled knocking sounds of different defect types (cavities, peeling, cracks, honeycombs, etc.). Data augmentation techniques such as noise addition, temporal stretching, and spectral enhancement are used to address on-site noise. On the test set, the defect classification accuracy is ≥95%, recall is ≥93%, and F1 score is ≥94%. The output results include the probability distribution of defect types and a quantitative score of severity (0-10 points).
[0057] The collaborative working logic among multiple robotic arms adopts a combination of distributed control and centralized scheduling. The central processing unit acts as the scheduling center, allocating independent detection areas to each robotic arm. The robotic arms have built-in local controllers to perform motion control, and at the same time, they transmit position and attitude data in real time via the CAN bus. When there is a risk of overlapping of the robotic arm movement trajectories, the centralized scheduling algorithm avoids collisions by replanning the obstacle avoidance path. The number of robotic arms can be dynamically increased or decreased according to the tunnel cross-section size to adapt to the detection needs of tunnels with different diameters. The swing angle range of the robotic arms is -90° to 90°, and the vertical movement covers the tunnel arch to the invert arch, ensuring full cross-section coverage.
[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the hammer is driven by a servo motor, and the striking force can be adjusted through a closed-loop current control, with an adjustment range of 5-50N. The striking frequency is adjustable from 1-5Hz to ensure effective excitation of defect signals from linings of different strengths. The robotic arm body is made of lightweight carbon fiber material and equipped with a multi-joint torque sensor to monitor motion resistance in real time and avoid rigid collisions with the lining surface. The system also includes a data storage and visualization module. The data storage module uses an industrial-grade SSD with a storage capacity of ≥2TB, supporting long-term retention of original acoustic signals, defect images, three-dimensional coordinates, and analysis results. The visualization module generates a two-dimensional unfolded distribution map of tunnel lining defects, intuitively displaying the distribution, density, type, and severity score of the defects.

[0061] Step 1: Device initialization and path planning. The lidar scans the tunnel cross-section, and the central processing unit dynamically plans the layout of the robotic arm and the gridded detection path, completing microphone calibration, camera calibration, angle sensor calibration, and system self-test.
[0062] Step 2: The vehicle-mounted mobile platform travels at a constant speed along the planned path. The multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm unfolds and maintains a 15°-20° striking angle through the angle adjustment mechanism. The striking hammer moves along the track with a positioning accuracy of ±1mm to perform full-coverage, non-repetitive grid-like striking.
[0063] Step 3: Synchronously acquire sound signals and three-dimensional coordinate information. The sound signals are stored after bandpass filtering and noise reduction processing. The synchronous trigger signal ensures that the sound signals are precisely synchronized with the striking action.
[0064] Step 4: Extract 18 acoustic features from the sound signal, input them into the CNN and Transformer hybrid model for intelligent classification, and output the probability of defect type, severity score and anomaly judgment result.
[0065] Step 5: If a defect is identified, the camera is triggered in real time to capture an image and convert it into absolute three-dimensional coordinates, storing the "sound signal-image-three-dimensional coordinates" associated data;
[0066] Step 6: Integrate all detection data to generate a structured detection report containing detailed defect information, acoustic spectrograms, image evidence, and a two-dimensional unfolded distribution map.
[0067] In this embodiment, the dataset used in the model training process includes eight common defects in tunnel lining, such as voids, peeling, cracks, honeycombing, and construction joint cracking. Each defect category has ≥10,000 samples, covering different lining thicknesses, concrete strengths, and environmental noise scenarios. Data augmentation employs various noise types, including Gaussian white noise, pink noise, and mechanical noise, with the signal-to-noise ratio controlled within the range of 10-30 dB. Simultaneously, it expands sample diversity through temporal stretching (0.8-1.2 times), spectral shifting, and cepstral enhancement. The model training uses the Adam optimizer with dynamically adjusted learning rate and iterative training for ≥100 rounds. An early stopping strategy prevents overfitting. Finally, it achieves accurate identification and quantitative scoring of various defects on an independent test set, providing accurate basis for tunnel lining maintenance and management.
