Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of safety monitoring of water conservancy projects, and particularly to a seepage monitoring system and method adopting big data algorithms. Background Art
[0002] Seepage is a phenomenon that seriously endangers the safe operation of dams in water conservancy projects. If the seepage situation is not detected and handled in time, it will gradually evolve into potential safety hazards such as piping, and may ultimately lead to safety accidents such as dam breaches. For the traditional technologies in this field regarding dam safety monitoring, one is the piezometer monitoring method, which monitors the water pressure at each point and converts it into the water level elevation; the other traditional technology is the flow monitoring method of the dam collecting channel, which monitors the flow rate, etc. of the dam collecting channel by building a collecting channel at the bottom of the dam and installing a flowmeter.
[0003] In recent years, some seepage monitoring technologies have emerged by installing electromechanical equipment or pre-burying sensors.
[0004] Typically, for the Chinese patent application with the application number CN 114659960 A and the name "An Intelligent Seepage Monitoring System for Water Conservancy Projects", seepage collection is carried out by drilling holes in the reservoir soil and installing components such as seepage monitoring equipment and temperature and humidity sensors. The seepage monitoring cylinder compresses the collected seepage liquid by the pumping and sucking of air by an air pump to drive the extrusion component and discharges it to flow into the diversion disc component, and is introduced into the greenhouse control component through the diversion of the diversion disc component and then into the storage tank, and finally the water volume in the storage tank is measured to monitor seepage.
[0005] Typically, for the Chinese patent application with the application number CN 116087052 A and the name "An Optical Fiber Seepage Monitoring IoT Device and Method for Earth-Rock Dams", temperature field signals are collected by deploying fiber grating regulators, optoelectronic sensing units, signal wave transmitters, etc. in the dam, and the signals are sent to the upper computer, and the upper computer calculates the seepage condition.
[0006] The defects of the above-mentioned existing technologies are as follows:
[0007] 1. The piezometer monitoring method mainly monitors the water level elevation of relevant points, and no correlation calculation is performed between the data, so the seepage trend inside the dam cannot be analyzed; the flow monitoring method of the collecting channel cannot know the seepage condition and seepage trend inside the dam, and the error is relatively large.
[0008] 2. For the monitoring method of installing electromechanical equipment inside the dam, there are many main devices and auxiliary components, and the more deployment points for seepage monitoring, the more accurate it is, resulting in a large installation workload and a relatively complex installation process.
[0009] 3. For the monitoring method of installing sensors inside the dam, a large number of sensors need to be installed, resulting in a relatively large installation workload, and it is difficult to repair if the sensors have breakpoints. Summary of the Invention
