Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of water conservancy and environmental technology, and in particular to a water accumulation information collection device and system. Background Art

[0002] At present, the rapid development of cities has led to an increase in urban impervious areas, which in turn has changed the natural water cycle process, which is likely to lead to an early peak during rainfall and an increase in rainwater runoff. The planned urban pipe network is likely to be unable to meet the drainage capacity required after the increase in runoff. A large amount of rainwater and impurities can easily enter the pipes instantly, resulting in poor drainage of the pipe network and causing large-scale flooding and waterlogging.

[0003] Road water accumulation warning devices are usually installed at water accumulation points during the flood season to monitor roads and sunken bridge areas. By collecting water accumulation information, road water accumulation warning devices can provide early warning information and alert travelers and vehicles to avoid casualties.

[0004] However, the existing waterlogging information collection devices are generally installed in advance at some common waterlogging points and kept powered on for a long time, resulting in high overall equipment costs. At the same time, for some temporary waterlogging points, the existing waterlogging information collection devices are not flexible enough, for example, it is difficult to quickly deploy them when the waterlogging situation is urgent, and it is difficult to easily remove them when the waterlogging situation is alleviated.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0026] In the related art, cities usually experience waterlogging during heavy rains. Especially in flyovers and low-lying areas, the water level continues to rise during rainfall, and the water depth in the sunken bridge area is difficult to determine, which may cause some travelers and vehicles to misjudge the depth of the water and mistakenly enter dangerous sunken bridge areas and low-lying areas, resulting in casualties. In addition, the difficulty in determining the water depth in the sunken bridge area also has a certain impact on maintenance personnel.

[0027] Commonly used road waterlogging warning devices usually need to be fixed on the road or sunken bridge area, and installed at the waterlogging point for a long time during the flood season to monitor the road and the sunken bridge area. However, there are the following problems: First, after the equipment is installed, the water level meter is fixed and cannot be changed. Second, the equipment needs to remain powered on for a long time during the flood season, so the equipment generally requires a relatively large battery or solar panels, and the cost of the equipment is relatively high. Third, waterlogging points usually appear more frequently during the flood season, and they are reduced after treatment during the non-flood season. Fixed waterlogging collectors need to be removed from waterlogging points where the situation has eased. Fourth, in the case of a temporary rapid rise in the water level in the sunken bridge area, it is difficult for staff to understand the water level rise in time and to quickly determine the depth of the waterlogging.

[0028] In view of this, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a water accumulation information collection device that can effectively collect water accumulation information and can be easily installed and recovered. The water accumulation information collection device provided by the present disclosure does not need to be fixedly installed throughout the flood season, can be easily installed and recovered, and can provide workers with water accumulation measurement work for a single rainfall.

[0029] See also Figure 1An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water accumulation information collection device, which includes: a collection body; a driving module, used to drive the collection body to move in a target area; a positioning module, fixedly installed at a first position of the driving module, and the positioning module is used to determine the position of the collection body; a laser radar water level meter, set at a second position of the driving module, and the laser radar water level meter is used to collect water accumulation information in the target area; a control circuit, which is electrically connected to the driving module, the positioning module, the laser radar water level meter and the collection body.

[0030] In this embodiment, the collection body can represent the main structure of the water accumulation information collection device, can be in contact with the target area, and can undertake the task of collecting water accumulation information. The collection body can include a drive module, a positioning module, a laser radar water level gauge, a control circuit and other connecting components. The collection body can be made of anti-corrosion materials, and can have the characteristics of anti-corrosion, anti-freeze, heat resistance, and aging resistance. It can be used in various harsh environments such as sewage, corrosive liquids, and freezing, and can be unaffected by external factors such as atmospheric pressure, freezing, humidity, garbage, and sand content. The collection body can be recycled and used again.

[0031] In this embodiment, the target area may be a water area where water accumulation occurs. The driving module may provide kinetic energy to drive the collection body to move in the target area and arrive at a preset location. The preset location may be determined by coordinate information. The coordinate information may be obtained by receiving external information, such as receiving information sent by a user through a mobile device. The coordinate information may also be directly input by a user to the water accumulation information collection device before the water accumulation information collection device is placed.

[0032] In some embodiments, the driving module may include: a battery, a driving motor, a driving paddle, and a rudder. The battery may be disposed in the internal space of the driving module, and may provide power to the driving module, and may also provide power to the entire water accumulation information collection device. The driving motor may be disposed in the internal space of the driving module, and may provide kinetic energy to the driving module, thereby realizing the movement of the collection body. The driving paddle may be connected to the outer surface of the driving module, and may enhance the mobility of the collection body in the water. The rudder may be connected to the outer surface of the driving module, and may control the moving direction of the driving module. The outer shell of the driving module may be made of a waterproof and floatable material, and may protect the internal battery and driving motor.

[0033] In some embodiments, the drive module may include an auxiliary battery. The auxiliary battery is located in the internal space of the drive module, is electrically connected to the drive module, and can provide auxiliary power for the drive motor. For example, the auxiliary battery can provide additional power for the drive motor to increase the kinetic energy generated by the drive motor. For another example, the auxiliary battery can provide starting power for the drive motor, and the drive motor can switch to other power sources after starting operation. The auxiliary battery can be a type of button battery.

[0034] In some embodiments, a buoyancy material may be connected to the bottom of the driving module to provide buoyancy for the water accumulation information collection device. The buoyancy material may be a foam material, including polyethylene sponge foam.

[0035] In this embodiment, the positioning module can be fixedly installed in the internal space of the driving module, or fixedly installed on the outer surface of the driving module. The positioning module can locate the position of the acquisition body, and can assist the driving module to move the acquisition body to a set position. For example, the positioning module can determine the current position information of the acquisition body, can determine the position information of the preset location provided by the driving module, and feed back the position information to the driving module. After receiving the information fed back by the positioning module, the driving module can determine the movement trajectory and arrive at the preset location.

[0036] In some embodiments, the positioning module can be fixedly installed on the top area of ​​the driving module, so that the positioning signal can be better received and contact with water can be avoided.

[0037] In some implementations, the positioning module may be a Global Positioning System (GPS) device, which may provide accurate positioning information.

[0038] In this embodiment, the laser radar water level meter can collect high-precision water accumulation information and provide millimeter-level measurement accuracy. The laser radar water level meter can provide a range of up to 70 meters without directly contacting the water surface, which can meet a variety of water accumulation scenarios.

[0039] In some embodiments, the laser radar water level meter is disposed on the extension component of the driving module. For example, the front end of the driving module may have a structural component extending outward. The laser radar water level meter located on the extension component can be not blocked by the collection body when collecting water accumulation information, which can improve the quality of the collected data.

[0040] In this embodiment, the control circuit can realize the overall operation logic of the water accumulation information collection device, for example, receiving the preset location input by the user, controlling the positioning module to determine the location information, planning the moving route, starting the driving module, and starting the laser radar water level meter.

[0041] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the control circuit may include a core control unit, a signal receiving unit, a speed control unit, a power control unit, and a direction control unit.

[0042] Specifically, the core control unit can provide certain computing resources and storage resources, and can coordinate and manage various other units to jointly realize the operation logic of the water accumulation information collection device. The signal receiving unit can receive external signals to obtain the user's instructions to the water accumulation information collection device, such as "go to the coordinate position", "start collecting water accumulation information", "stop collecting water accumulation information", "return to the initial location, etc.". The power control unit can be connected to the drive motor, and can generate different levels of power for the water accumulation information collection device to move in the target area. The speed control unit can change the real-time moving speed of the water accumulation information collection device. The speed control unit can be implemented based on a multi-stable multivibrator, and multiple different stable output states can correspond to different speed modes, such as low speed, medium speed, high speed, etc. The speed control unit can be used in combination with the power control unit to jointly determine the final moving speed of the water accumulation information collection device. The direction control unit can be connected to the direction paddle and / or rudder, so that the moving direction of the water accumulation information collection device can be adjusted.

[0043] See also Figure 3 In a practical application example, the control circuit uses an integrated circuit (IC) as the core control unit. The signal receiving unit is a packaged signal receiving device. The speed control unit is a multi-stable multivibrator, which can be specifically composed of electronic components such as resistors R3, R4, R5, sliding resistor RP1, capacitor C1 and diodes. The speed control unit can be used to control the speed of the car. The power control unit can provide power to the drive device when powered on, and can be specifically composed of capacitor C2, resistor R2 and motor. The direction control unit can control the direction of the boat, and can be composed of capacitor C3, resistor R1 and paddle. When the water accumulation information collection device receives the coordinate signal through the signal receiving device, the integrated circuit in the control circuit can calculate the motion path and send an indication signal to the speed control unit, the power control unit and the direction control unit. The water accumulation information collection device can reach the specified coordinates by controlling the moving direction through the paddle and controlling the moving speed through the motor and the speed control circuit. At this time, the water accumulation information collection device can directly start collecting water accumulation information when reaching the specified coordinates according to the preset program. The water accumulation information collection device may also wait for the signal receiving device to receive further instructions from the user after reaching the designated coordinates, and may not start collecting water accumulation information until the corresponding collection instruction is received.

[0044] Furthermore, the control circuit may also include a signal sending device. The water accumulation information collection device may directly send the water accumulation information to the user after collecting the water accumulation information according to a preset program. The water accumulation information collection device may also wait for the signal receiving device to receive further instructions from the user after collecting the water accumulation information, and only start sending the water accumulation information to the user after receiving the corresponding upload instruction.

[0045] See also Figure 4 An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a water accumulation information collection system, the system comprising: a water accumulation information receiving device, and a water accumulation information collection device.

[0046] In this embodiment, the water accumulation information collection device can be the above Figure 1 The water accumulation information collection device provided in the embodiment may include a drive motor 1, a GPS positioning device 2, a laser radar water level meter 3, a battery 4, a button battery 5, a polyethylene sponge foam 6, a drive paddle 7, and a rudder 8. The water accumulation information receiving device may include a display module and a remote terminal unit (RTU).

[0047] In this embodiment, after collecting the water accumulation information, the laser radar water level meter in the water accumulation information collection device can send the water accumulation information to the outside. The water accumulation information receiving device can receive the water accumulation information sent by the laser radar water level meter. The water accumulation information receiving device can receive the water accumulation information through wireless communication technology, such as cellular network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, LoRaWAN, ZigBee and other wireless communication technologies. Optionally, the water accumulation information receiving device can also receive the water accumulation information through wired communication technology, such as optical fiber, Ethernet and other technologies.

[0048] In one embodiment, the water accumulation information receiving device may include a display module, which may be an LED display screen. The display module may be installed in a prominent area near the water accumulation point to provide warning information.

[0049] In one embodiment, the water accumulation information collection device can be equipped with a driving module, a GPS positioning module, and a laser radar water level meter. After water accumulation occurs, the water accumulation information collection device can determine the water accumulation measurement point through the GPS positioning module. The button battery in the driving module can power the driving module. After receiving the control signal, the driving module can adjust the rudder according to the preset program, start the drive propeller, and reach the designated water accumulation measurement point. After the water accumulation information collection device uses the laser radar water level meter to measure the water depth, it can send the water accumulation information to the RTU in real time. The water depth information is then fed back to the mobile phone or LED display through the RTU, which can serve as a warning to passers-by.

[0050] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6In a practical application example, in a rainstorm scenario, there are usually some waterlogging points with unknown water depth in the city. For high-risk waterlogging points or places where waterlogging often occurs, a waterlogging information collection device can be installed during the flood season to quickly identify the depth of waterlogging. The waterlogging information collection device can be divided into a driving device, a water level sensing device, and an LED prompt device. The driving device can be equipped with a water level sensing device. When waterlogging occurs, the user can remotely control the driving device so that the waterlogging information collection device reaches the designated waterlogging point. At this time, the water level sensing device can measure the waterlogging information and feed the results back to the LED prompt device to promptly remind pedestrians and staff.

[0051] Specifically, for sudden waterlogging points that appear during or after rainfall, a waterlogging information collection system can be used to measure the depth of waterlogging. The waterlogging information collection system can include a mobile waterlogging information collection device composed of a drive motor, a GPS positioning device, a laser radar water level meter, a battery, a button battery, a polyethylene sponge foam, a drive propeller, a rudder, etc. The waterlogging information collection system can include a waterlogging information receiving device composed of an RTU, an LED display, etc. The waterlogging information collection system can also include a control and management device, which can be implemented through a mobile phone terminal.

[0052] If there is sudden water accumulation in the sunken bridge area, the user can obtain the position of the lowest point in the sunken bridge area (such as XY coordinates) in advance to know the coordinate position of the lowest point in the sunken bridge area. The user can also temporarily determine the coordinate position of the lowest point. After the user inputs the coordinate position of the lowest point into the mobile phone terminal, the mobile phone terminal can send the coordinate position to the mobile water accumulation information collection device. The shell of the mobile water accumulation information collection device can be a carrier made of waterproof and floatable material. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the driving module equipped with a button battery can adjust the rudder and start the driving propeller after receiving the control signal, and bring the entire mobile water accumulation information collection device to the specified coordinate position. The battery in the mobile water accumulation information collection device can power the laser radar water level meter. Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the laser radar water level meter can measure the water depth at the lowest point and feed it back to the mobile terminal and LED display through the RTU. When water accumulates or the water level rises, the water accumulation information can be displayed on the LED display temporarily set up on the roadside, or the water accumulation information can be sent to the mobile phones of pedestrians passing by the nearby location through the RTU in the form of text messages. The text message can contain prompt information, for example: the water accumulation point on this road section is 0.8m deep and it is forbidden to go there.

[0053] The technical solution provided by one or more embodiments of the present disclosure can, after waterlogging occurs, move in the target area and collect waterlogging information through the waterlogging information collection device; after the waterlogging situation is alleviated, the waterlogging information collection device can be easily retrieved from the target area. Specifically, the waterlogging information collection device has a driving module, which can drive the collection body to move in the target area. The waterlogging information collection device has a positioning module, which can locate the position of the collection body and assist the driving module to move the collection body to a set position. The waterlogging information collection device has a laser radar water level meter, which can accurately collect waterlogging information in the target area on the basis of controlling the cost of the collection device. The waterlogging information collection device also has a control circuit, and the overall operation logic of the waterlogging information collection device can be realized through the electrical connection formed by the control circuit and the driving module, the positioning module, the laser radar water level meter and the collection body.

[0054] The water accumulation information collection device provided in one or more embodiments of the present disclosure has the characteristics of being easy to deploy and easy to recover, and can provide water level information at temporary water accumulation points. On the one hand, for sudden water accumulation points, the water accumulation information collection device can be placed in the target area and can be moved to a set position in the target area, so as to provide timely and accurate water accumulation information.
