DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model will be specifically introduced below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a kind of atomic emission spectroscopy technology, which vaporizes underground fluid samples by high-energy pulsed laser to generate plasma, and analyzes the spectral characteristics emitted thereby to identify the elemental composition and content of the sample. Compared with other common spectroscopy technologies, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, the main advantages of LIBS technology are that it can realize real-time analysis and is suitable for dynamic detection scenarios, does not require complex sample preparation process and harsh working environment, and can directly detect elemental components, including trace elements, with high sensitivity.

[0022] Acoustic detection technology can monitor the flow changes of underground fluids by utilizing the acoustic wave propagation characteristics of the fluids, has high monitoring sensitivity, can detect subtle fluid changes, and will not cause damage to the underground environment, and is suitable for dynamic detection scenarios.

[0023] Based on the high-sensitivity detection of elemental components by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and the rapid feedback of sample physical properties by acoustic detection technology, a novel and efficient fluid detection method is proposed by integrating the two complementary technologies. The integrated detection system can realize comprehensive real-time monitoring of the elemental composition and content, flow rate, flow volume and density of underground fluids, and can timely detect changes in the composition and characteristics of the fluids, and is suitable for dynamic environments. The acoustic and spectroscopic analysis results can also be verified and corrected with each other, improving the accuracy and reliability of fluid detection. Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and pressure may affect the propagation characteristics of acoustic waves, but laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy can be used to detect changes in environmental parameters to correct the results of acoustic detection technology and reduce fluid detection errors. The integration of the two detection technologies can overcome the limitations of single technology detection, provide more comprehensive fluid property detection results, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of underground fluid detection, thereby promoting wide application in resource exploration and environmental protection fields.

[0024] Embodiment one, in combination Figures 1-4 , the underground fluid detection device integrating acoustic signals and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy technology includes a conveying pipeline 15 and a drainage pipeline, one end of the conveying pipeline 15 is provided as a water inlet 13, the other end is provided as a water outlet 14, a notch is formed in the top of the conveying pipeline 15, one end of the drainage pipeline is provided as a water inlet, and the device further includes a laser spectrum acquisition device, an acoustic signal acquisition device and a fusion signal analysis and correction module.

[0025] The laser spectrum acquisition device is arranged above the conveying pipeline 15, and comprises a solid laser 1, a beam expander 9, a mirror 10, a focusing lens 11 and a fiber probe 16; the solid laser 1 emits laser light which passes through the beam expander 9, is reflected by the mirror 10, passes through the focusing lens 11 and is incident into a gap, and the laser light is focused on the surface of the fluid to generate plasma; the beam expander 9 improves the focusing ability and optical quality of the laser beam; further comprising a laser control panel 2, a power supply 3, a battery switch 4, a switching button 5, a storage battery 6, a halogen lamp 7, a mercury argon lamp 8, a CMOS camera 12, a delay trigger 17, a spectrometer 18 and a lifting platform 19; the fiber probe 16 is connected with the spectrometer 18, the spectrometer 18 is connected with a processor 27, and the spectrometer 18 can disperse the light signals emitted by the plasma into signals with different wavelengths and different intensities, i.e. spectrum signals; the delay trigger 17 is arranged between the spectrometer 18 and the solid laser 1, and the delay trigger 17 functions to set a proper delay time between the laser and the spectrometer 18, so as to obtain the best spectrum signals; the switching button 5 on the battery switch 4 is used to switch the power supply from the power supply 3 to the storage battery 6, and the switching button 5 is normally switched to the power supply 3, and when the power supply 3 is insufficient, the switching button 5 can be switched to the storage battery 6; the halogen lamp 7 and the mercury argon lamp 8 are arranged above the laser path, the halogen lamp 7 is used for wavelength calibration of the laser spectrum, and the mercury argon lamp 8 is used for intensity calibration of the spectrum; the CMOS camera 12 is arranged above the mirror 10 and is located on the vertical plane with the reflected laser, so as to ensure that the distance from the focusing lens 11 to the sample is constant and the error of the spectrum line intensity is reduced; the laser control panel 2 is connected with the solid laser 1, and is used to adjust the pulse energy and the repetition frequency of the laser; and the lifting platform 19 is arranged below the conveying pipeline 15, and is used to adjust the distance between the conveying pipeline 15 and the lens.

[0026] The wavelength of the solid-state laser 1 used in the detection device is 1064 nm, and the pulse energy and repetition rate of the instrument parameters can be adjusted by the laser control panel 2. The default laser energy and repetition rate are 130 mJ and 10 Hz, respectively. Since the distance between the sample and the laser focus has a significant impact on the spectral results, a CMOS camera 12 is placed directly above the mirror 10 to record the distance between the sample surface and the lens in real time during the measurement process. The distance is kept constant by adjusting the lifting platform 19 at the bottom of the delivery pipeline 15. During the detection of liquid samples, in order to avoid liquid splashing caused by excessive laser power density, a beam expander 9 is used to reduce the power density of the laser and improve the focusing ability and optical quality of the beam. After the beam is reflected by the mirror 10, it passes through the focusing lens 11 and enters the gap, and the laser is focused on the sample surface to generate plasma. Before detecting underground fluids, environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure need to be considered, as the characteristic spectra of elements in the sample will vary under different environmental parameters. Therefore, we adjust the lifting platform 19 so that the laser focus acts on the air. By comparing the current air spectrum detection results with the calibrated database, we can analyze the specific temperature value, humidity value, and pressure size. In order to obtain the spectral signal of the fluid sample, a fiber probe 16 is used to collect the light emitted by the plasma, which is connected to a spectrometer 18 with a collection range of 200-900 nm and a resolution of 0.08 nm. The spectrometer 18 can disperse the light signal emitted by the plasma into characteristic spectral lines with different wavelengths and intensities. The wavelength represents different elements, and the intensity can represent the concentration to some extent. The delay trigger 17 is set between the spectrometer 18 and the solid-state laser 1. The delay trigger 17 sets the appropriate delay time between the laser and the spectrometer 18, thereby avoiding the strong bremsstrahlung radiation in the initial stage of plasma generation and obtaining spectral signals with the best signal-to-noise ratio.

[0027] The acoustic signal acquisition device is positioned near the inlet of the drainage pipe. The device includes a microphone 20, a filter 21, an oscilloscope 24, an amplifier 22, a volume control knob 23, and a sound card 25. The microphone 20, positioned near the inlet of the drainage pipe, receives acoustic signals from the fluid flow. The microphone 20 is connected to the filter 21, which filters noise and extracts the desired signal. The filter 21 is connected to the oscilloscope 24, which visualizes the acquired acoustic signal. The amplifier 22 is positioned between the filter 21 and the oscilloscope 24 to enhance the intensity of the received acoustic signal. The amplifier 22 is also connected to the sound card 25. Both the oscilloscope 24 and the sound card 25 have I / O interfaces 26, which are external USB 2.0 compatible. The volume control knob 23 is located on the amplifier 22 and adjusts the amplification factor of the acoustic signal intensity. The sound card 25 connects the acquired acoustic signal to a computer for further processing.

[0028] The fusion signal analysis and correction module is connected to the laser spectrum acquisition device and the acoustic signal acquisition device, respectively. The fusion signal analysis and correction module mainly includes a high-performance computer, a computer monitor 28, an environmental parameter display 29, and an environmental parameter corrector 30. The computer is connected to the spectrometer 18 and can process and analyze the spectral signals acquired by the spectrometer 18; it is also connected to an oscilloscope 24 and a sound card 25 to process and analyze the acquired acoustic signals. Furthermore, the environmental parameter display 29 and the environmental parameter corrector 30 are connected to the processor 27, and based on the spectrum... The spectral signal generated by the excitation air collected by instrument 18 is compared and analyzed with the calibrated database. The computer can analyze the current ambient temperature, humidity and pressure, and feed the results back to the environmental parameter display 29 for visualization. The environmental parameter corrector 30 inputs a correction signal into the computer based on the environmental parameters displayed in the environmental parameter display 29 to correct the intensity values ​​of the spectral signal and acoustic signal, avoiding errors caused by environmental factors. The environmental parameter corrector 30 is equipped with an environmental parameter adjustment knob 31, which is used to adjust the temperature, humidity and pressure respectively.
