Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pipeline detection equipment, in particular to an electronic compartment that can be used in a tap water pipeline. Background Art

[0002] Water supply pipes are a vital component of urban water supply systems. They are typically constructed from materials such as iron, steel, cement, and fiberglass. However, these pipes are buried underground for extended periods of time. Over time, these materials can deteriorate due to aging, corrosion, wear, and expansion if not properly maintained. If leaking pipes are not promptly discovered and repaired, precious water resources are wasted, endangering nearby roads, buildings, and facilities. In severe cases, this can lead to water pollution, significant economic losses, and adverse social impacts. Therefore, conducting water supply pipe leak detection to ensure the safe, stable, and healthy operation of these pipes is of practical and far-reaching significance.

[0003] In the early days, commonly used leak detection equipment included acoustic leak wands, acoustic leak cakes, and electronic leak detectors. However, these detection solutions also had limitations. For example, the traditional handheld listening rod technique detected leaks at exposed points on the pipe. Its effectiveness was affected by background noise, pipe pressure, and the experience of the leak detector. Deep buried pipes made it difficult to detect leaks. The electronically amplified audiometer (pipeline leak detector) compared sound intensity along a suspected leaking pipe using a set of steps. However, its effectiveness was limited in noisy environments and busy urban areas, and was also affected by soil properties. The correlation analysis method used the delay in the leak sound to determine the leak location. While relatively accurate, it often lacked effectiveness for non-metallic pipes. Furthermore, errors in the pipe network topology, the presence of branch pipes, and the calculation of sound velocity can all lead to positioning errors. The tracer gas detection method detected leaks by measuring the concentration of a tracer gas along the pipe. While highly sensitive, its use required critical conditions and required knowledge of the water flow direction. Branch pipes could also cause gas leaks and detection failures. Ground radar leak detection utilizes electromagnetic principles to detect underground pipelines, locating leaks by emitting electromagnetic cracks and performing reverse acquisition. This method is suitable for detecting large-diameter or non-metallic pipelines. However, accurate identification of the initial leak point is difficult, image analysis is challenging, and data processing is slow. The instantaneous flow detection method, which locates leaks by identifying pipeline pressure signals, artificially generates instantaneous flow rate fluctuations. Comparing the calculated instantaneous pressure fluctuations with actual pressure fluctuations at different leak locations and leak regions can also be subject to noise interference, resulting in erroneous inverse problem analysis results and low model reliability.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the applicant designed a self-driven tap water pipe leak detection instrument, which can enter the water supply pipe for detection. In order to be able to control the activity of the instrument in the tap water pipe in real time, an electronic warehouse is specially designed to be connected to the instrument and enter the tap water pipe.
