Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of landslide monitoring and early warning technology, and specifically relates to a landslide monitoring and early warning system. Background Technology

[0002] Landslides are caused by a variety of factors. Firstly, geological factors include the type, structure, and properties of the soil and rock mass. For example, mountains composed of loose silty clay or severely weathered rock have poor stability, and steep slopes easily lead to soil and rock imbalance. Secondly, external triggering factors have a significant impact. Heavy rainfall increases the weight of the soil and rock mass and reduces its shear strength; earthquake vibrations can also damage the structure of the soil and rock mass; and unreasonable engineering activities can also undermine the original stability of the mountain. Landslides are highly destructive, not only significantly impacting the daily lives of local residents but also potentially causing long-term damage to infrastructure such as transportation and water conservancy facilities.

[0003] Currently, most mountain monitoring methods focus on single-area monitoring, while some focus on ground-level monitoring. However, these methods are limited to the surface and cannot effectively control complex internal rock and soil structural changes, groundwater dynamics, and other factors. Some methods rely solely on BeiDou positioning, which can obtain location information, but single positioning data is insufficient to comprehensively reflect the overall condition of the mountain. In complex geological environments, it is difficult to detect potential hazards in a timely and accurate manner. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the landslide monitoring and early warning system of this utility model includes a ground monitoring module 1, an aerial monitoring module 2, a communication module 3, a remote monitoring terminal 4, and an early warning module 5. The communication module 3 is connected to the ground monitoring module 1, the aerial monitoring module 2, and the remote monitoring terminal 4. The remote monitoring terminal 4 is connected to the early warning module 5. The ground monitoring module 1 is used to monitor changes in water level, soil moisture, and soil stress inside the mountain. The aerial monitoring module 2 is used to monitor the shape and structure of the mountain's exterior using a drone. The remote monitoring terminal 4 is used to process the monitoring data sent by the ground monitoring module 1 and the aerial monitoring module 2, and to issue an early warning through the early warning module 5 based on the processing results.

[0031] Next, the working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model:

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the ground monitoring module 1 includes a microcontroller 101, a water level sensor 102, a soil moisture sensor 103, a rainfall detector 104, and a stress sensor 105. The microcontroller 101 is connected to the water level sensor 102, soil moisture sensor 103, rainfall detector 104, and stress sensor 105. The water level sensor 102 is installed near water sources, at the bottom of valleys and gullies, and near drainage channels within the mountain. The soil moisture sensor 103 is installed in areas with different vegetation cover, at the top, middle, and bottom of slopes, as well as in potential landslide areas and areas with varying soil and rock types. The rainfall detector 104 is installed in locations with strong climatic representativeness to the mountain monitoring area. The stress sensor 105 is installed near mountain faults and fissures, and on mountain slopes and at the foot of slopes.

[0033] Specifically, the water level sensor 102 is used to monitor changes in groundwater or surface water levels. The water level sensor 102 uses a capacitive principle to detect water levels and can provide real-time water level data, which is crucial for applications such as flood warning, water resource management, and groundwater monitoring. The soil moisture sensor 103 is used to measure the moisture content in the soil. The soil moisture sensor 103 estimates soil moisture by detecting changes in soil conductivity, capacitance, or resistance. Soil moisture is crucial for understanding changes in internal soil stress and can be used to assist in analyzing internal soil stress. The rain gauge 104 is used to measure the amount of precipitation that falls to the ground over a period of time. Rainfall gauges 104 include funnel-type gauges. Rainfall data is crucial for applications such as meteorological research, flood warning, and water resource assessment. The stress sensor 105 is used to monitor stress changes in structures or materials when subjected to external forces. The stress sensor 105 can be used to monitor the stability of structures such as landslides, ground subsidence, bridges, and dams, and is typically based on strain gauges, piezoelectric materials, or fiber optic technology to detect stress changes. The microcontroller 101 is used to analyze the data monitored by the water level sensor 102, soil moisture sensor 103, rain gauge 104 and stress sensor 105 to obtain various environmental and geological parameters.

[0034] Furthermore, the aerial monitoring module 2 includes a drone camera device, which includes a drone frame, battery, camera 201, drone controller 202, brushless motor 203, electronic speed controller 204, antenna 205, and remote controller 206.

[0035] Specifically, the battery, camera 201, drone controller 202, brushless motor 203, electronic speed controller 204, and antenna 205 are respectively mounted on the drone frame. The drone weighs 3.5KG and serves to support and fix the components. The frame is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and its design takes into account factors such as the drone's weight distribution, center of gravity position, and aerodynamic characteristics to ensure that the drone has good flight performance and stability.

[0036] Specifically, the remote controller 206 is connected to the electronic speed controller 204 and the antenna 205. The electronic speed controller 204 is connected to the brushless motor 203. The antenna 205 and the camera 201 are connected to the drone controller 202. There are four brushless motors 203, which are the power source for the drone. They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the drone's rotors and generate lift. Compared to brushed motors, they have higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and more powerful output. There are four electronic speed controllers 204. These are key components connecting the battery, remote controller, and motors. They are responsible for converting the DC power provided by the battery into AC power required by the motors and adjusting the motor speed according to the control signals from the remote controller. The electronic speed controllers have built-in microcontrollers that can realize functions such as motor start-up, stop, speed control, and fault protection. There are two antennas 205, used to transmit control signals between the drone controller 202 and the remote controller 206, as well as data communication between the drone and the ground station. The antenna design and layout consider signal coverage, transmission rate, and anti-interference capability to ensure that the drone can stably receive and transmit signals during flight.

[0037] The remote controller 206 includes a joystick, buttons, a display screen, and a wireless transmission module. The wireless transmission module of the remote controller 206 is connected to both the antenna 205 and the electronic speed controller 204. The remote controller 206 transmits operator commands to the UAV controller 202 via the antenna. These commands include takeoff, landing, forward movement, backward movement, and rotation. The remote controller 206 also sends control signals to the electronic speed controller 204, which adjusts the speed of the brushless motor 203.

[0038] Drone camera equipment is used to film small areas of mountain structure. Specifically, the drone can fly precisely according to a preset flight path and altitude. Operators on the ground use a remote controller or accompanying control software to set the drone's flight trajectory around a specific area of ​​the mountain, such as spiraling up along the mountain slope or flying parallel to the mountain's contour lines, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the small area of ​​the mountain that needs to be monitored.

[0039] Furthermore, communication module 4 includes cellular network communication. For most ground and aerial monitoring equipment located in areas with cellular network coverage, 4G / 5G communication is an efficient communication method. For example, smart sensors installed around mountains can transmit data in real time to a remote control terminal via the built-in 4G / 5G communication module. Drones conducting aerial monitoring can also use 4G / 5G networks to transmit captured images and videos back to the user. 4G / 5G networks feature high speed and low latency, meeting the need for rapid transmission of large amounts of monitoring data and facilitating convenient remote management and control of equipment.

[0040] Furthermore, the early warning module 6 provides either an audible and visual alarm or an SMS notification. The audible and visual alarm combines sound and light alarms, comprising a high-brightness LED array and a high-decibel speaker. In the landslide monitoring system, the audible and visual alarm can be installed in residential areas near mountains, along roadsides, tourist attractions, and other areas prone to landslides. The SMS notification alert is connected to the communication network and automatically sends warning SMS messages to relevant personnel via a pre-set list of mobile phone numbers when an alert is triggered.

[0041] In summary, the landslide monitoring and early warning system of this utility model, through ground monitoring module 1, aerial monitoring module 2, communication module 3, remote control terminal 4, and early warning module 5, can achieve comprehensive, multi-level, real-time, and efficient landslide monitoring and early warning.
