Some water leakage points cannot return to the ground due to various reasons, and hidden leaks are formed that cannot be detected from the ground, resulting in the waste of precious finished water. Common leak detection methods include: valve bolt listening method, ground listening method, correlation analysis method, regional meter installation method, gas detection method, and temperature measurement method. Each method for detecting water leakage points in heating pipelines has great limitations. At the same time, detecting water leakage points in heating pipelines requires relatively high technical qualities and work experience of operators. Generally, technicians who can detect water leakage points in tap water, fire protection, and sprinkler pipelines may not be able to solve the problem of detecting water leakage points in heating pipelines.

At the same time, the equipment cannot be used for more precise and convenient leak detection control, and cannot meet the daily use requirements. Therefore, it is urgent to design an acoustic wave precise positioning leak detection device for heat supply pipe networks to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , an embodiment provided by the present invention:

[0022] An acoustic wave precise positioning and leakage detection device for a heat supply pipe network includes an installation ring frame 1. A back frame 2 is fixedly connected to the back of the installation ring frame 1. A universal joint 3 is arranged on the back of the back frame 2. An adjusting rod 4 is arranged on the back of the universal joint 3. Clamping arc seats 5 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the side of the installation ring frame 1. Moving rollers 14 are arranged on the four sides of the bottom end of the installation ring frame 1. A central thread sleeve 15 is arranged at the center inside the installation ring frame 1. A ring-shaped contact interface 16 is arranged at the top end of the inner wall of the central thread sleeve 15. The whole installation ring frame 1 is moved through the moving rollers 14 on the four sides of the bottom. At the same time, the universal joint 3 inside the back frame 2 cooperates with the adjusting rod 4, which can realize the angle adjustment operation of the overall all-round adaptability of the installation ring frame 1.

[0023] An acoustic wave sensor 6 and an acoustic wave receiver 7. The acoustic wave sensor 6 is movably connected to the four sides of the side of the installation ring frame 1 through the clamping arc seats 5. The acoustic wave receiver 7 is arranged inside the installation ring frame 1. A receiving disc 8 is arranged at the bottom end of the acoustic wave receiver 7. A thread groove 9 is opened on the side of the receiving disc 8. A ring-shaped contact joint 10 is arranged at the top end of the side of the receiving disc 8. Clamping grooves 11 are opened on both sides of the acoustic wave sensor 6. Clamping strips 12 are arranged at both ends of the clamping arc seat 5. A strip-shaped contact interface 13 is arranged on the inner wall of the clamping arc seat 5. The clamping arc seat 5 and the acoustic wave sensor 6 are mutually adapted. The receiving disc 8 at the bottom end of the acoustic wave receiver 7 is quickly installed at the center position of the bottom end of the installation ring frame 1. Then, the four groups of acoustic wave sensors 6 are respectively adapted and docked with the clamping arc seats 5 at the four corners of the side of the installation ring frame 1. At this time, the clamping grooves 11 on both sides of the acoustic wave sensor 6 are positioned and clamped at the clamping strips 12 at both ends of the clamping arc seat 5.

[0024] When a pipeline leaks, a sound pressure wave with a much higher frequency than ordinary underwater sound can be generated and propagated along the pipeline. The frequency of the leakage noise mainly depends on the size of the leakage point, and the propagation speed of the leakage noise mainly depends on the pipeline diameter and pipe material. The leakage signal is measured by vibration sensors or acoustic emission sensors placed at both ends of the pipeline with the leakage point surrounded in the middle. Since the leakage point may be located at different positions on the pipeline, the propagation time of the leakage sound to the two sensors is different. By using the cross-correlation analysis of the two signals, generally, the time difference of the leakage noise reaching the two sensors can be determined. Based on this time difference, the distance between the leakage point and the two sensors can be calculated through the distance between the two sensors and the propagation speed of the sound wave in this pipe material.

[0025] The calculation formula for the correlation coefficient is as follows:

[0026] Calculation of the leakage location:

[0027] For pipelines with different pipe materials and different outer diameters, the sound propagation speed is different. According to the pre-given speed table, it can be known that the distance between the two sensors can also be measured.

[0028] Assume that the distance between the leakage point and the nearer sensor is L, the distance between the two sensors is D, the speed of the sound wave is V, and the time difference of the leakage sound wave reaching the two sensors is Td. Then the calculation formula for the distance between the leakage point and the nearer sensor is as follows:

[0029] Working principle: When in use, the user first installs the acoustic wave receiver 7 through the threaded groove 9 on the side and the annular contact joint 10 into the central threaded sleeve 15 and the annular contact interface 16 inside the mounting ring frame 1, so that the receiving disk 8 at the bottom of the acoustic wave receiver 7 is quickly installed at the center position at the bottom of the mounting ring frame 1. Then, the four acoustic wave sensors 6 are respectively adaptively docked with the clamping arc seats 5 at the four corners on the side of the mounting ring frame 1. At this time, the clamping grooves 11 on both sides of the acoustic wave sensor 6 are positioned and clamped at the clamping strips 12 at both ends of the clamping arc seat 5. Then, the strip-shaped contact interface 13 on the inner wall of the clamping arc seat 5 is used to seal and connect with the inside of the acoustic wave sensor 6, and cooperate with the signal connection operation at the annular contact joint 10 of the acoustic wave receiver 7. The four acoustic wave sensors 6 emit positioning acoustic wave signals, and the receiving disk 8 at the bottom of the acoustic wave receiver 7 precisely receives the acoustic waves, so that the equipment acoustic wave sensors 6 and the acoustic wave receiver 7 on the mounting ring frame 1 can be disassembled and replaced at any time to meet the daily leak detection requirements. During the daily use process, the staff can move the entire mounting ring frame 1 through the moving rollers 14 on the four sides of the bottom. At the same time, the universal joint 3 inside the back frame 2 cooperates with the adjusting rod 4 to realize the omnidirectional adaptive angle adjustment operation of the entire mounting ring frame 1, so as to realize the stable movement and adjustment operation on different planes, and further more stably realize the precise acoustic wave positioning and leak detection work of the entire mounting ring frame 1. The above is the entire working principle of the present utility model.
