[0002] Pipeline transportation is a key means of storage and transportation of oil and gas resources.

However, sensors such as strain gauges have low measurement accuracy, poor reliability, and insufficient environmental adaptability, which makes it impossible to achieve long-term monitoring.

[0033] The technical solution of the utility model is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This embodiment discloses a pipeline settlement detection device, including an intelligent car 100 and an ultrasonic detection module 200. The intelligent car 100 includes an infrared tracking module 110, a motor 120 and a processor 130. The processor 130 is electrically connected to the infrared tracking module 110 and the motor 120 respectively. The intelligent car 100 is driven by the motor 120 to travel. The infrared tracking module 110 is used to assist in traveling along a preset route. The ultrasonic detection module 200 is connected to the intelligent car 100. The ultrasonic detection module 200 includes an ultrasonic array sensor 210, a signal excitation component 220 and a signal receiving component 230. The ultrasonic array sensor 210 is electrically connected to the processor 130. The signal excitation component 220 is used to excite the ultrasonic array sensor 210 to generate ultrasonic waves, and the signal receiving component 230 is used to receive ultrasonic signals from the ultrasonic array sensor 210. The driving path of the intelligent car 100 is preset according to the pipeline direction, and the intelligent car 100 drags the ultrasonic detection module 200 to move along the preset pipeline direction. During the driving process of the smart car 100, the infrared tracking module 110 determines whether the smart car 100 deviates from the preset path by detecting the infrared reflection on the ground, and then makes corresponding adjustments. The ultrasonic array data is obtained by the ultrasonic array sensor 210, and the processor 130 processes the ultrasonic array waveform data to analyze the echo data of the buried pipeline in the stratum and determine the settlement of the current pipeline. The ultrasonic array sensor 210 is used to obtain the settlement of the buried pipeline 400 underground, without digging up the soil on the surface of the pipeline 400, thereby improving the measurement accuracy and reliability, improving the detection efficiency and reducing the detection cost.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 The ultrasonic array sensor 210 includes a housing 240 and a plurality of ultrasonic transducers 250, wherein the ultrasonic transducers 250 are non-contact ultrasonic transducers and are arranged inside the housing 240. The housing 240 is provided with a plurality of grooves 241, and the plurality of ultrasonic transducers 250 are respectively arranged in the plurality of grooves 241. A plurality of non-contact ultrasonic transducers 250 are arranged inside the housing 240, for example, 10 non-contact ultrasonic transducers 250 are arranged. The ultrasonic transducer 250 can emit ultrasonic waves and receive ultrasonic signals reflected from the pipeline 400. Accurate detection is achieved by acquiring and processing the reflected waves from the buried pipeline 400. The ultrasonic transducer 250 converts the input electrical signal into an ultrasonic signal and converts the received signal back into an electrical signal, wherein the control signal applied to the ultrasonic transducer 250 is generated by the piezoelectric principle, and the received signal works based on the inverse process of impedance matching and electroacoustic conversion. The non-contact design makes the ultrasonic array sensor 210 have no mechanical contact with the pipe 400, thus avoiding problems such as wear, contamination or damage caused by contact, and has high stability and strong environmental adaptability, thereby extending the service life.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3 The housing 240 is provided with a first hook 242, and the ultrasonic detection module 200 is connected to the smart car 100 through the first hook 242. The smart car is equipped with a second hook 140, and the first hook 242 is hung on the second hook 140. The smart car 100 is equipped with a second hook 140, and the first hook 242 on the housing 240 is hung on the second hook 140, and the ultrasonic detection module 200 is connected to the smart car 100. The smart car 100 drags the ultrasonic detection module 200 to move along the preset pipeline direction, so as to obtain ultrasonic array data through the ultrasonic array sensor 210.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 The smart car 100 includes a motor drive module 150, which is used to control the speed and direction of the motor 120. The smart car 100 controls the speed and direction of the motor 120 through the motor drive module 150, thereby controlling the running speed and direction of the car, so that the smart car 100 can respond quickly according to the preset program or real-time task requirements. By inputting control instructions or receiving sensor feedback, the motor drive module 150 can quickly adjust the motor speed and achieve precise steering control. After receiving the signal, the motor drive module 150 starts the motor 120 and drives the motor 120 to operate according to the preset speed and steering parameters, thereby achieving efficient control and stable operation of the smart car 100.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 The smart car 100 further includes a wireless communication module 160, which is electrically connected to the processor 130 and uses one or more of a Bluetooth and a Wi-Fi communication module. The wireless communication module 160 is used to receive instructions from the smart terminal 300 and transmit the ultrasonic data collected by the ultrasonic detection module 200 to the smart terminal 300.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 The smart car 100 is provided with an LED indicator light 170, which is electrically connected to the processor 130. The LED indicator light 170 is used to display whether the smart car 100 is currently running normally, for example, a red light indicates an abnormality, and a green light indicates a normal state.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 The smart car 100 is equipped with a roller 180, and the motor 120 drives the roller 180 to roll. The roller 180 is driven by the motor 120 to ensure that it rolls smoothly. The use of the roller 180 makes the smart car 100 move more flexibly and improves the efficiency of turning and crossing traps; because the contact area between the roller 180 and the ground is small, the friction of the roller when moving is reduced, thereby improving the driving efficiency of the smart car 100 on the ground.

[0041] It should be noted that the smart car 100 is provided with a charging interface, the charging interface is connected to a battery, and the battery is installed inside the smart car 100. The battery is a rechargeable battery and is charged through the charging interface. The rechargeable battery supplies power to modules such as the infrared tracking module 110, the motor 120, and the processor 130.

The smart terminal 300 is, for example, a smart phone or a smart tablet computer.

[0043] During the detection, the driving path of the smart car 100 is first preset according to the direction of the pipeline, and then the smart car 100 is remotely controlled by the smart terminal 300. The smart car 100 drags the ultrasonic detection module 200 to move along the preset pipeline direction. During the driving process of the smart car 100, the infrared tracking module 110 determines whether the smart car 100 deviates from the preset path by detecting the infrared reflection on the ground, and then makes corresponding adjustments. The ultrasonic array data is obtained through the ultrasonic array sensor 210, and the emission and reception of ultrasonic waves are accurately controlled to achieve high-precision measurement and positioning. The processor 130 sends the acquired ultrasonic array data to the smart terminal 300 through the wireless communication module 160 to analyze the ultrasonic array waveform data, analyze the ultrasonic echo data of the buried pipeline 400 in the stratum, thereby obtaining the pipeline settlement detection data and judging the settlement of the current pipeline. Improve measurement accuracy and reliability, improve detection efficiency, and reduce detection costs.
