Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road monitoring technology, and in particular to an intelligent monitoring system for municipal roads. Background Technology
[0002] In the process of managing municipal roads, the probability of urban flooding is also increasing due to the continuous increase in urban infrastructure such as culverts. The low level of intelligence and low efficiency of existing municipal road monitoring devices may cause significant losses of property and life.
[0003] The current municipal road surveillance system has the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1) Waterlogging monitoring methods are limited to measuring waterlogging in specific areas and have not yet formed a comprehensive and systematic waterlogging monitoring network. This results in an inability to accurately and promptly grasp the waterlogging situation in a wider area;
[0005] 2) Relying primarily on measuring liquid level to determine water accumulation is insufficient. While this method can reflect the water level at a specific location, it cannot provide a comprehensive understanding of the overall distribution and trends of water accumulation across the entire area. Liquid level measurements are often taken at a specific point in time, failing to capture the dynamic process of water accumulation changes in real time. Furthermore, water accumulation is affected by the intensity of rainfall, resulting in significant data delays.
[0006] 3) Unstable or delayed network transmission may severely impact real-time monitoring and rapid response to flooding conditions. Updates to monitoring information may lag behind changes in actual flooding conditions, thus affecting the timeliness of early warnings and decision-making. Utility Model Content

The positioning module 2 is used to acquire node location information, the water level measurement module 3 is used to acquire water level data from the acquisition nodes, and the rainfall measurement module 4 is used to acquire rainfall data from the acquisition nodes. The main control module 1 transmits the node location information, water level data, and rainfall data to the monitoring platform via the NB-IoT wireless module 5. The positioning module ensures accurate location of the waterlogging monitoring points. The water level measurement module acquires real-time water level data from the monitoring nodes, reflecting the waterlogging situation. The rainfall measurement module measures rainfall, providing important data for analyzing the causes and trends of waterlogging. The NB-IoT wireless module enables wireless data transmission, ensuring real-time and stable data transmission to the monitoring platform. By deploying multiple monitoring nodes, a comprehensive and systematic waterlogging monitoring network is formed, enabling accurate and timely monitoring of waterlogging conditions over a wider area.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the main control module 1 includes a main control chip U1, which is an STM32F103C8T6. This processor has a Cortex-M3 core, 64KB of FLASH memory, 1MB of flash memory, two 12-bit, 1µs analog-to-digital converters that can be mapped to 16 analog-to-digital conversion channels, and three asynchronous serial communication channels.

Pin 21 of positioning chip U2 is connected to pin 25 of main control chip U1 via resistor R3, and pin 20 of positioning chip U2 is connected to pin 26 of main control chip U1 via resistor R3. Positioning chip U2 is a SkyTra_S1216F8-BD module with a sensitivity of up to -165dBm and a maximum measurement output frequency of 20Hz. Positioning chip U2 transmits the collected latitude and longitude information to main control chip U1 for decoding to obtain latitude and longitude information. The latitude and longitude data is then converted into JSON format and transmitted to the municipal monitoring platform via NB-IoT.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the water level measurement module 3 includes an ultrasonic water level sensor U3. The TX pin of the ultrasonic water level sensor U3 is connected to the first pin of the main control chip U1, and the RX pin of the ultrasonic water level sensor U3 is connected to the second pin of the main control chip U1.

The ADS1218 is a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter with a wide dynamic range, featuring 22-bit effective resolution and 24-bit lossless performance. It has one I2C-compatible serial interface and four input channels. The values of capacitors C0 and C1 are acquired through channels AN0 and AN1, respectively, and the measured data is then transmitted to the main control chip U1 via the I2C protocol.
[0036] Ultrasonic water level sensors can withstand a wide range of water level variations. Capacitive water level sensors are highly sensitive to water level changes and are particularly suitable for scenarios requiring precise measurements or where water level fluctuations are small. Using sensors based on two different principles allows for data redundancy. If the data from one sensor is abnormal, it can be verified and corrected by comparing it with the data from the other sensor, thereby improving the overall reliability of the system.
