Description

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of pipeline network monitoring, and particularly relates to a pipeline network leakage monitor and a pipeline network leakage monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, the pipeline network for water supply may leak due to natural or human factors. Pipeline network leakage will affect the normal operation of the water supply system, and further affect people's daily life and production activities.

[0022] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the description of the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can also be obtained based on these drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for explaining the specific embodiments of the present application, rather than aiming to limit the present application. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "a plurality" means two or more than two, and "at least one", "one or more" means one, two or more than two. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0027] Reference to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in this specification means that a specific feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, statements such as "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in other some embodiments", "in still other embodiments" etc. that appear in different places in this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in another way. The terms "comprising", "including", "having" and their variants all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in another way.

[0028] In the prior art, the housing of a pipeline leakage monitor is usually composed of plastic or stainless steel. The impact resistance and anti-corrosion performance of the housing made of plastic are both poor, so the impact resistance and anti-corrosion performance of the pipeline leakage monitor with a plastic housing are both poor, while the housing made of stainless steel will affect the communication quality of the communication unit in the pipeline leakage monitor, so the communication performance of the pipeline leakage monitor with a stainless steel housing is poor. It can be seen that because the existing pipeline leakage monitor only includes one material, there will inevitably be defects in practical applications, which in turn leads to the low performance of the existing pipeline leakage monitor.

[0029] The embodiments of the present application first provide a pipeline leakage monitor. Different from the pipeline leakage monitors in the prior art, since the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a first housing and a second housing made of two different materials, the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the embodiments of the present application can simultaneously possess the advantages of the two materials, thereby improving the performance of the pipeline leakage monitor.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a pipeline leakage monitor provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the pipeline leakage monitor 11 may include a noise recording unit 111, a control unit 112, and a communication unit 113.

[0031] Among them, the noise recording unit 111 can be connected to the control unit 112, and the control unit 112 can be connected to the communication unit 113.

[0032] The noise recording unit 111 can be used to obtain the first leakage noise data of the pipe network and send the obtained first leakage noise data to the control unit 112.

[0033] The control unit 112 can be used to receive the first leakage noise data sent by the noise recording unit 111, analyze the first leakage noise data to determine the analysis result of the leakage noise data. And the control unit 112 can be used to process the first leakage noise data to obtain the second leakage noise data. In addition, the control unit 112 can also send the analysis result of the leakage noise data and the second leakage noise data to the communication unit 113 to control the communication unit 113 to send the analysis result of the leakage noise data and the second leakage noise data to the server.

[0034] The communication unit 113 can be used to receive the analysis result of the leakage noise data and the second leakage noise data sent by the control unit 112 and send the received analysis result of the leakage noise data and the second leakage noise data to the server.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the pipe network leakage monitor 11 can further include a housing. Among them, the housing can include a first housing 114 and a second housing 115. In addition, the materials of the first housing 114 and the second housing 115 can be different.

[0036] Among them, the noise recording unit 111 and the control unit 112 can both be arranged in the first housing 114, and the communication unit 113 can be arranged in the second housing 115.

[0037] In practical applications, the materials of the first housing 114 and the second housing 115 can be set according to requirements.

[0038] As can be seen above, in the embodiment of the present application, by providing a pipeline leakage monitor, the pipeline leakage monitor includes a noise recording unit, a control unit, and a communication unit; the noise recording unit is connected to the control unit, and the control unit is connected to the communication unit; the housing of the pipeline leakage monitor includes a first housing and a second housing, the noise recording unit and the control unit are both arranged in the first housing, and the communication unit is arranged in the second housing; wherein, the materials of the first housing and the second housing are different. In the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the present application, the noise recording unit and the control unit are both arranged in the first housing, the communication unit is arranged in the second housing, and the materials of the first housing and the second housing are different. In practical applications, the materials of the first housing and the second housing can be set according to actual needs, so that the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the present application can simultaneously possess the advantages of both materials, thereby improving the performance of the pipeline leakage monitor.

[0039] In an alternative implementation, the material of the first housing 114 can be stainless steel, and the material of the second housing 115 can be anti-aging plastic.

[0040] Since the noise recording unit 111 and the control unit 112 in the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the embodiment of the present application do not need to communicate with the server, the material of the first housing 114 corresponding to the noise recording unit 111 and the control unit 112 can be set to stainless steel, so that the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the embodiment of the present application has good impact resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0041] Since the communication unit 113 in the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the embodiment of the present application needs to communicate with the server, the material of the second housing 115 corresponding to the communication unit 113 can be set to anti-aging plastic, so that the pipeline leakage monitor provided by the embodiment of the present application has good communication quality.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of a pipeline leakage monitor provided by another embodiment of the present application.

[0043] As Figure 2 shown, in a possible implementation, the pipeline leakage monitor 11 may further include an adsorber 116.

[0044] Wherein, the adsorber 116 can be arranged on the housing of the pipeline leakage monitor 11.

[0045] In a possible implementation, the adsorber 116 can be arranged on the first housing 114 of the pipeline leakage monitor 11.

[0046] The adsorber 116 can be used to adsorb the pipeline leakage monitor 11 on the pipeline.

[0047] In a possible implementation, the adsorber 116 may include a magnetic material. Exemplarily, the adsorber 116 may include a magnet.

[0048] In a possible implementation, the pipeline leakage monitor 11 may further include a lithium-ion battery.

[0049] Wherein, the lithium-ion battery may be respectively connected to the noise recording unit 111, the control unit 112, and the communication unit 113.

[0050] The lithium-ion battery may be used to supply power to the noise recording unit 111, the control unit 112, and the communication unit 113 respectively.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing a lithium-ion battery in the pipeline leakage monitor 11, the pipeline leakage monitor 11 can continuously work for several years.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, in a possible implementation, the control unit 112 may include a leakage noise analysis unit 1121, a leakage noise processing unit 1122, and a battery analysis unit 1123.

[0053] Wherein, the leakage noise analysis unit 1121 may be respectively connected to the noise recording unit 111 and the communication unit 113; the leakage noise processing unit 1122 may be respectively connected to the noise recording unit 111 and the communication unit 113; the battery analysis unit 1123 may be respectively connected to the lithium-ion battery and the communication unit 113.

[0054] The leakage noise analysis unit 1121 may be used to receive the first leakage noise data of the pipeline sent by the noise recording unit 111, analyze the first leakage noise data of the pipeline, determine the analysis result of the first leakage noise data, and may send the analysis result of the first leakage noise data to the communication unit 113 to control the communication unit 113 to send the analysis result of the first leakage noise data to the server.

[0055] The leakage noise processing unit 1122 may be used to receive the first leakage noise data of the pipeline sent by the noise recording unit 111, process the first leakage noise data of the pipeline to obtain second leakage noise data, and may send the second leakage noise data to the communication unit 113 to control the communication unit 113 to send the second leakage noise data to the server.

[0056] The battery analysis unit 1123 can be used to determine the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery and send the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery to the communication unit 113, so as to control the communication unit 113 to send the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery to the server. Exemplarily, the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery can include the voltage, current, and remaining power of the lithium-ion battery 117, etc.

[0057] In a possible implementation manner, the communication unit 113 can include any one or more of a narrowband cellular Internet of Things communication (NarrowBand-Internet of Things, NB-IoT) unit, a 2G communication unit, a 3G communication unit, a 4G communication unit, a 5G communication unit, an HTTP protocol communication unit, and a TCP protocol communication unit.

[0058] In a possible implementation manner, the pipeline leakage monitor 11 may further include a communication signal detection unit.

[0059] Wherein, the communication signal detection unit can be connected to the control unit 112. Specifically, the communication signal detection unit can be respectively connected to the leakage noise analysis unit 1121, the leakage noise processing unit 1122, and the battery analysis unit 1123.

[0060] The communication signal detection unit can be used to detect the communication quality parameters between the communication unit 113 and the server, and can send the communication quality parameters between the communication unit 113 and the server to the control unit 112.

[0061] Based on this, the control unit 112 can also be used to receive the communication quality parameters between the communication unit 113 and the server sent by the communication signal detection unit.

[0062] In a possible implementation manner, the pipeline leakage monitor 11 may further include a data storage unit.

[0063] Wherein, the data storage unit can be connected to the control unit 112. Specifically, the data storage unit can be respectively connected to the leakage noise analysis unit 1121, the leakage noise processing unit 1122, and the battery analysis unit 1123.

[0064] The control unit 112 may also be used to store data in the data storage unit according to the communication quality parameters between the received communication unit 113 and the server. Specifically, the control unit 112 may also be used to send the analysis result of the first leakage noise data, the second leakage noise data, and the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery to the data storage unit according to the communication quality parameters between the received communication unit 113 and the server, so as to control the data storage unit to store the analysis result of the first leakage noise data, the second leakage noise data, and the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery.

[0065] Exemplarily, when the control unit 112 determines that the communication quality between the communication unit 113 and the server is poor according to the communication quality parameters between the communication unit 113 and the server, the control unit 112 may send the analysis result of the first leakage noise data, the second leakage noise data, and the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery to the data storage unit, so as to control the data storage unit to store the analysis result of the first leakage noise data, the second leakage noise data, and the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery.

[0066] Based on this, the data storage unit may be used to store the data sent by the control unit 112. Specifically, the data storage unit may be used to store the analysis result of the first leakage noise data sent by the leakage noise analysis unit 1121, may be used to store the second leakage noise data sent by the leakage noise processing unit 1122, and may be used to store the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery sent by the battery analysis unit 1123.

[0067] By setting the data storage unit, when the communication quality between the communication unit 113 and the server is poor, the data may be stored in the data storage unit, and when the communication quality between the communication unit 113 and the server meets the preset requirements, the data may be sent to the server, so as to avoid data loss.

[0068] In a possible implementation manner, the noise recording unit 111 may include a piezoelectric ceramic sensor.

[0069] In practical applications, the piezoelectric ceramic sensor has high sensitivity in collecting leakage noise, which can improve the performance of the pipeline leakage monitor 11.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of a pipeline leakage monitoring system provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0071] As Figure 3 shown, the pipeline leakage monitoring system 31 may include a plurality of pipeline leakage monitors 11 and a server 311 corresponding to any one of the embodiments as Figures 1 to 2 described.

[0072] Among them, each pipeline network leakage monitor 11 can be communicatively connected to the server 311.

[0073] For the specific functions of each pipeline network leakage monitor 11, reference can be made to Figures 1 to 2 any one of the corresponding embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0074] The server 311 can be used to receive the pipeline network leakage data sent by each pipeline network leakage monitor 11, and determine whether there is a pipeline network leakage, as well as information such as the location and time of the pipeline network leakage, based on the data sent by each pipeline network leakage monitor 11.

[0075] Specifically, the server 311 can be used to receive the analysis results of the leakage noise data and the second leakage noise data sent by each pipeline network leakage monitor 11, and determine whether there is a pipeline network leakage, as well as information such as the location and time of the pipeline network leakage, based on the received analysis results of the leakage noise data and the second leakage noise data.

[0076] The server 311 can also be used to, when it is determined that there is a pipeline network leakage, prompt the user that there is a pipeline network leakage, as well as prompt the user with information such as the location and time of the pipeline network leakage, through a preset prompt method.

[0077] The server 311 can also be used to receive the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery 117 sent by each pipeline network leakage monitor 11, determine the working conditions of the lithium-ion battery 117 of each pipeline network leakage monitor based on the current working parameters of the lithium-ion battery 117 sent by each pipeline network leakage monitor, and prompt the user with the working conditions of the lithium-ion battery 117 of each pipeline network leakage monitor in a preset prompt method.

[0078] As Figure 3 shown, in a possible implementation manner, the pipeline network leakage monitoring system 31 can also include several repeaters 312.

[0079] Among them, the repeaters 312 can be respectively connected to the pipeline network leakage monitors 11 and the server 311.

[0080] The repeaters 312 can be used to receive the data sent by the pipeline network leakage monitors 11 and send the data sent by the pipeline network leakage monitors 11 to the server 311.

[0081] Based on this, in the pipeline network leakage monitoring system 31, several pipeline network leakage monitors 11 are connected to the server 311 through several repeaters 312.
