Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model generally relates to the technical field of intelligent monitoring devices. Specifically, the utility model relates to a multifunctional intelligent manhole cover monitoring terminal device. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urban development, the urban underground pipe network system is becoming increasingly complex, and the traditional manhole cover management method can no longer meet the needs of modern urban management. In order to improve the intelligent level of urban infrastructure, ensure the safe operation of the city, and improve the city's emergency response capabilities, it is an important measure to install appropriate monitoring terminal equipment for different types of manhole covers in the city.

[0003] Traditional intelligent manhole cover monitoring terminal devices are designed independently according to different application scenarios. Installing different types of manhole cover monitoring terminal devices from different manufacturers will greatly increase the deployment cost. At the same time, in terms of manhole cover management, there are also disadvantages such as high maintenance cost and low management efficiency.

[0004] In terms of the deployment of intelligent manhole cover terminal equipment, the common method is to deploy the terminal equipment under the manhole cover or on the inner wall of the well. In actual application scenarios, both methods have their own limitations. Deploying the monitoring terminal under the cover can be analyzed from the user perspective and the product perspective. From the user's perspective, due to the limited space at the bottom of the cover, the function of the equipment is often single, which does not meet the actual needs of customers for diversification and customization. From a product perspective, since the cover often produces a large number of micro-movements, it is easy to cause significant damage to components, causing the equipment to suddenly fail to work normally, increasing maintenance costs. Installing on the inner wall of the well is not conducive to the installation of the equipment and affects the workers' underground operations.

[0005] In terms of underground water level monitoring, immersion level sensors are usually used for level collection. When the sensor is installed at the bottom of the pipe, it is usually affected by water flow and debris in the pipe, causing the sensor to deviate, ultimately leading to inaccurate reading of the liquid level data.

[0006] In terms of cover opening alarm monitoring, a tilt sensor is usually sampled to determine whether the cover is opened. This sensor is usually very sensitive to the tilt angle and there is a high probability of false alarm when a vehicle passes by. Utility Model Content

The independent external antenna compartment makes the wireless signal transmission more stable and the positioning more accurate.

[0044] (3) A two-stage liquid level acquisition device is used. In the low water level state, a lower power consumption electrode type water level sensor is used for liquid level acquisition. When the water level exceeds the pipeline, a submersible liquid level sensor is used to measure the water level more accurately. This method reduces the power consumption of the equipment and avoids the impact of water flow or pipeline debris on the sensor. The use of a circular stainless steel bracket to install the flow rate sensor can greatly reduce the difficulty of sensor installation and subsequent maintenance and cleaning. The magnetic switch sensor and installation structure used improve the anti-interference ability of manhole cover monitoring. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0065] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0066] The utility model proposes a multifunctional intelligent manhole cover monitoring terminal device, which includes a device cockpit and a power management unit, a narrowband Internet of Things (NB) main control board and a sensor expansion board arranged inside the device cockpit. The device cockpit can be arranged on the manhole cover base and fixed by buckles. Figure 1 The following is a schematic diagram showing the application classification of a multifunctional intelligent manhole cover monitoring terminal device in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, different circuit boards can be combined inside the equipment cabin, and corresponding sensors can be connected externally to achieve underground environment monitoring in different scenarios. Figure 1 The application scenarios of the present invention have been exemplified. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the above combinations are only examples and should not be regarded as limitations. Those skilled in the art can make combinations according to actual needs.

[0067] Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a system block diagram of a multifunctional intelligent manhole cover monitoring terminal device in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 As shown, the power management unit may include multiple solar panels (for example, 4 panels), lithium battery packs, dry batteries, magnetic switches, thermistors, and power control boards. The power management unit is used for the collection of parameters related to lithium batteries and dry batteries and power switching control. It has a built-in solar charging module and can optionally be equipped with 2 sets of solar charging panels to form a dual channel to charge the lithium battery pack. The lithium battery pack can be independently arranged outside the equipment cabin and docked with the equipment cabin through an IP68 waterproof plug. This method is convenient for later replacement of lithium batteries and users can customize the battery capacity to increase the use time of the device. The power management unit has a built-in magnetic switch for manually waking up the device, and can also keep the device in a low power consumption state through an external magnet during transportation. The power information collected by the power management unit may include dry battery voltage, lithium battery voltage, charging current of the first charging channel, charging current of the second charging channel, discharge current, charging current, and lithium battery temperature, and the collected power information is transmitted to the NB main control board through the RS485 interface.

[0068] The NB main control board is used to upload the collected power supply information, sensor information and device information to the cloud platform through the NB module. The NB main control board uses the NB module as the main control chip, and integrates multi-source positioning chips, large-capacity storage chips, Bluetooth chips, etc. to provide geographic information services, local data storage services and Bluetooth data transmission services for the device. Geographic information services can provide positioning functions for device terminals, which is convenient for device search. The local data storage function is convenient for reading sensor data stored locally through the Bluetooth module in the case of long-term data upload failure to prevent data loss. The device can connect to the communication operator's Internet of Things cloud platform through the networking function of the NB module to realize functions such as data upload, command issuance and software OTA upgrade. The software OTA function can make the equipment maintenance and update later, and the software upgrade is more convenient. The nylon plastic antenna compartment fixed on the base directional cover opening improves the signal strength and ensures the stability of data transmission. It has a built-in standard RS485 interface, which can be connected to the immersion liquid level sensor and flow rate sensor through a waterproof plug, and can also be expanded with a standard 485 sensor according to actual needs.

[0069] The sensor expansion board is used to expand the sensors required by the device. The unit can be connected to a methane gas sensor, an electrode water level sensor, and a magnetoresistive sensor. The methane gas sensor can collect the methane gas concentration in the well and is used in septic tanks, sewage wells, and other scenarios. The tension sensor can be connected to the tension collection bag device to measure the weight of the debris collection belt. The underground liquid level data is collected through two-stage data. In the low water level state (the water level does not exceed the top of the pipe), an electrode water level sensor is used to monitor the pipeline water level. By setting the number of electrode nodes, the pipeline water level can be freely graded and monitored. When the water level exceeds the drainage pipe, an immersion liquid level sensor is used to accurately measure the water level data. This method avoids the problem of inaccurate water level data caused by the sensor being affected by water flow and debris. In the scenario of monitoring the flow rate at the drainage outlet of the pipe network, a circular stainless steel pipe bracket can be used to install the flow rate sensor on the bracket, and the bracket can be installed by extending and retracting the bracket close to the bottom of the drainage pipe. The connection between the bracket and the sensor is connected as a water outlet. A stainless steel pipe is installed at the wellhead to install a high-pressure water gun above the corresponding bracket to clean the detection surface of the flow rate sensor. This installation method has a simple structure, easy deployment, and is very convenient for later maintenance and cleaning. The magnetoresistive sensor determines the opening and closing status of the manhole cover by monitoring the magnetic field, which improves the stability of the cover opening detection.

[0070] The equipment cabin is a specific shell installed on the circular track part of the manhole cover base. By placing the equipment here, it is ensured that it is not affected by the micro-movement of the manhole cover, and it is convenient for construction workers to work normally underground. The equipment is equipped with a waterproof and airtight valve. The airtight valve is used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the equipment through the characteristics of isolating water but conducting air, so that the immersion liquid level sensor can accurately obtain the atmospheric pressure and measure accurate water level data.

[0071] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a manhole cover surface of an intelligent manhole cover in one embodiment of the utility model is shown. Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a manhole cover base of an intelligent manhole cover in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the manhole cover base 2 is located below the manhole cover surface 1, and the antenna equipment compartment 6 is arranged in a directional opening below the manhole cover surface 1.

[0072] Figure 5 A connection diagram of a multifunctional intelligent manhole cover monitoring terminal device in one embodiment of the utility model is shown. Figure 6 The figure shows an exploded schematic diagram of a multifunctional intelligent manhole cover monitoring terminal device in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connection process of the device includes:

[0073] S1. Arrange the power control board 12, NB main control board 13, and sensor expansion board 14 evenly inside the equipment cockpit 15. The circuit boards are connected through 4-pin RS485 terminals.

[0074] S2. Connect the IP68 waterproof connector 9 to the sensor that needs to be connected to the equipment cabin 15, insert the connecting wire into the waterproof connector and connect it to the internal sensor interface, and lock the buckle of the waterproof connector. Then install a waterproof breathable valve 8 for the equipment to balance the atmospheric pressure inside the equipment cabin to achieve accurate measurement of the immersive liquid level sensor 20. Install dry batteries 33 on the power control board to provide basic power for the equipment. Then install the magnetic control switch 32, which can externally control the power supply and power off of the equipment through a magnet. Optionally, in order to enhance the waterproof performance of the equipment, the internal circuit board can be filled with glue.

[0075] S3, place the lithium battery pack 27 in the lithium battery equipment compartment 29, and tightly fix the thermistor 28 to the lithium battery pack 27. One pin of the thermistor is used as a signal line, and the other pin is grounded with the lithium battery. Finally, tighten the lithium battery compartment waterproof rubber ring 26 and the lithium battery compartment cover 25 with self-tapping screws to seal the lithium battery compartment.

[0076] S4. Place the NB antenna 23, Bluetooth antenna 24, and multi-source positioning module 22 in the antenna compartment 6, and lead out the antenna signal line. The NB antenna and Bluetooth antenna can directly pass the signal line through the antenna through-hole 34 reserved in the equipment cockpit 15 and connect to the NB control board 13. The signal line of the multi-source positioning module is a serial port line, which needs to be connected to the NB control board through a waterproof plug 7, and the inside of the antenna compartment is sealed.

[0077] S5. Install the waterproof rubber ring 11 and the cover 10 on the equipment cabin 15, and tighten them with self-tapping screws.

[0078] S6. Install a waterproof plug 7 for the signal line led out of the equipment cockpit 15 and the matching sensor, and connect the sensor to the equipment through the waterproof plug 7.

[0079] S7. Optionally, four solar panels 21 are connected in series in pairs to form a two-way solar power supply group, and the two charging cables led out are connected to the device through the waterproof plug 7.

[0080] Figure 7 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the installation of a downhole water level sensor in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 7 As shown, the waterproof plug 7 can be connected to the electrode type liquid level sensor 19 through the electrode type water level sensor signal line 37, and the waterproof plug 7 can also be connected to the immersion type liquid level sensor 20.

[0081] The specific embodiments of the present utility model are introduced below.

[0082] Example 1

[0083] The power management unit consists of 4 solar panels (optional), a lithium battery pack, dry batteries, a magnetic switch, a thermistor, and a power control board. The 4 solar panels are combined in pairs to form two dual channels to charge the lithium battery pack. A thermistor is installed in the lithium battery compartment to monitor the temperature data during the charging and discharging of the lithium battery. The installed magnetic switch is used to manually wake up the device, and can also keep the device in a low power consumption state through an external magnet during transportation.

[0084] Functional description: The power control board uses the domestic 32 microcontroller PY32F030K28U6 as the main control chip. The working steps are as follows:

[0085] Step S101: Perform necessary hardware and software initialization upon first power-on, including timer initialization, IO initialization, AD initialization, and necessary variable and function declarations.

[0086] Step S102, the control board enters the command receiving mode, waits for the main control board to send a data request command, and then collects data such as the dry battery voltage, lithium battery voltage, charging current of the first charging channel, charging current of the second charging channel, discharge current, charging current, lithium battery temperature, etc.

[0087] Step S103, detecting the voltages of the dry cell battery and the lithium cell battery, giving priority to the lithium cell battery for power supply, and switching to the dry cell battery for power supply when the lithium cell battery voltage is lower than 3.3V.

[0088] Step S104, encapsulate the collected data into Modbus protocol and send it to the main control board. Then enter the command receiving state and wait for new command reception.

[0089] Step S105, when no data request instruction is received from the main control board for more than 30 seconds, the system enters a low power consumption state, cuts off unnecessary chip power supply, and waits for a signal wake-up from the main control board.

[0090] Example 2

[0091] The main control unit consists of NB antenna, Bluetooth antenna, Beidou positioning module and NB main control board. The external NB antenna, Bluetooth antenna and Beidou positioning module are conducive to enhancing the signal of the equipment and avoiding the problem of signal loss caused by the manhole cover shell. The magnetic switch sensor and RS485 interface are reserved for independent deployment of simple functions.

[0092] Functional description: The NB main control board uses the MN316-DLVD module produced by China Mobile Internet of Things Co., Ltd. as the main control chip, and uses the OPENCPU method for software development. The following is the specific operation process.

[0093] Step S201: After the NB main control board is powered on, the hardware, software and network are initialized and checked.

[0094] Step S202: If everything goes well during device initialization, the Beidou positioning module will be started when the device is powered on for the first time to collect location information, and upload it to the telecom IoT cloud platform through the LwM2M protocol.

[0095] Step S203: In the case of not the first power-on wake-up, a data collection instruction is sent to the power management unit and the sensor unit to collect, process, package and upload data.

[0096] Step S204, when no operation instruction is received from the platform within 30 seconds, the device will enter the low power consumption mode according to the preset wake-up interval, and automatically wake up the device to collect and upload the next round of data after the wake-up interval is reached.

[0097] Here are some explanations of how the device works:

[0098] Upload interval mechanism: The data upload interval is divided into normal upload interval and alarm upload interval. The interval time of different modes can be remotely set through the platform. When the device detects abnormal water level or abnormal cover opening, it will enter the alarm mode and upload data according to the alarm interval period.

[0099] Network disconnection and resumption mechanism: When the device network is abnormal, the collected data will be saved in the storage chip, storing up to 2 days of data at intervals of 5 minutes. When the network is restored, the data will be uploaded to the platform again.

[0100] Bluetooth transmission function: The Bluetooth transmission function can be used to transfer the data of the past 20 days stored on the device to the mobile phone via Bluetooth, which can be used to supplement the data in case of abnormal data upload.

[0101] OTA upgrade function: In order to achieve later maintenance and upgrades, the OTA upgrade function is provided. The upgrade package can be sent through the platform to achieve remote upgrade of the device.

[0102] Example 3

[0103] Sensor unit

[0104] The types of sensors that can be connected are: methane gas sensor, electrode liquid level sensor, magnetic switch sensor and pressure sensor. The methane sensor is responsible for collecting the methane gas concentration in the well and sending the data to the MCU through the serial port; the electrode liquid level sensor is responsible for collecting the data of the pipeline water level; the magnetic switch is responsible for monitoring the opening and closing status of the well cover; the tension sensor can collect the weight of the debris collection bag under specific needs and remind the staff to replace the collection bag. Each sensor can be installed according to actual needs, which enhances the expansion capability of the equipment.

[0105] Functional description: The sensor expansion board uses the domestic 32 microcontroller PY32F030K28U6 as the main control chip. The working steps are as follows:

[0106] Step S301, perform necessary hardware and software initialization upon first power-on, including timer initialization, IO initialization, serial port initialization, etc. and necessary variable and function declarations.

[0107] Step S302, the sensor expansion board enters the command receiving mode, waits for the main control board to send a data request command, and then sends all sensor acquisition commands to analyze the collected data.

[0108] Step S304, encapsulate the collected data into Modbus protocol and send it to the main control board. Then enter the command receiving state and wait for new command reception.

[0109] Step S305, when no data request instruction is received from the main control board for more than 30 seconds, the system enters a low power consumption state, cuts off unnecessary chip power supply, and waits for a signal wake-up from the main control board.

[0110] The customized sensors of the utility model include an electrode-type liquid level sensor and a magnetic switch sensor. Since it is necessary to simply grade the water level of the drainage pipe, the water level monitoring sensors on the market do not meet the needs of practical applications. Therefore, the utility model uses the principle of water conductivity to design an electrode-type water level sensor.

[0118] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a flow velocity sensor for a pipe network drain outlet in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 8 As shown, the Doppler flow velocity sensor 40 is fixed to the bracket at the end of the circular stainless steel pipe by screws, and the water outlet of the bracket is aligned with the detection surface of the sensor. During installation, the circular stainless steel bracket with the sensor is put on the outlet pipe, and the sensor extends into the pipe from the inside. At the top of the bracket, the bracket can be supported by a manhole cover according to the actual length, so that it is firmly fixed on the outlet pipe.

[0119] When cleaning the sensor, the bracket can be removed from the outlet pipe, and a high-pressure water gun can be used to flush water from above the pipe. The water flows along the pipe and sprays out from the bracket outlet. Since the outlet is aimed at the sensor detection surface, the silt and debris on the sensor detection surface can be cleaned. In this way, the sensor can be cleaned without workers going down the well.
