Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0019] A rapid detection device for fault points in concealed power cables at construction sites, such as Figure 1 As shown: It includes a signal transmitting device and a signal receiving device. The signal receiving device includes a signal probe and a signal output processing circuit connected to the output end of the signal probe. The signal probe includes a housing 2, which is made of non-conductive antimagnetic material. An electromagnetic shielding layer 3 is attached to its inner surface. The electromagnetic shielding layer 3 is a multi-layer composite structure, which includes an adhesive permalloy layer and a conductive silicone layer to avoid signal interference on site. The shielding effectiveness of the electromagnetic shielding layer 3 is ≥60dB@1kHz-100kHz.

[0020] The housing 2 includes a head and a handheld main body. A caster wheel 1 is mounted on the outside of the head for movement on the ground. The handheld main body of the housing 2 serves as the handheld and display unit, used to smoothly move the signal probe. A magnetic field sensing module is installed inside the head of the housing 2. This module includes multiple sets of orthogonally arranged magnetic induction coils. Gradient magnetic field detection improves directional resolution and conforms to electromagnetic field vector characteristics. Specifically, the magnetic induction coils adopt a gradient differential structure. Each set of magnetic induction coils includes two high-permeability magnetic rods 4 symmetrically distributed along the axis of the housing head. Each high-permeability magnetic rod 4 has its own detection coil 5 wound on it. The two detection coils 5 in the same set are wound in opposite directions, forming a differential signal to eliminate common-mode interference. The axes of the high-permeability magnetic rods 4 are orthogonally spatially distributed. The spacing between the detection coils 5 in the same set is 0.8 times the pre-buried depth of the cable under test. The magnetic induction coils are installed inside the head of the housing 2 via a movable insulating bracket. The adjustable range of the movable insulating bracket is 20-150mm. To adapt to different burial depth scenarios, the spacing between the magnetic induction coils can be adjusted, conforming to the electromagnetic field attenuation law.

[0021] The output of the magnetic induction coil is connected to the input of the preamplifier 6 of the signal processing module via a shielded twisted pair cable. The preamplifier 6 is mounted on the handheld main body of the housing 2. The output of the preamplifier 6 is connected to the detector 7. The detector 7 is connected to the filter 8. The filtering center frequency of the filter 8 is synchronously adjustable with the frequency of the audio current injected by the cable. The output of the filter 8 is connected to the signal processing module via a digital bus.

[0022] The signal processing module comprises an adaptive noise cancellation unit, adopts an LMS algorithm to dynamically eliminate power frequency interference, and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved by greater than or equal to 40 dB. The signal processing module comprises an inclination sensing module and a buried depth calculation module. The inclination sensing module comprises a three-axis MEMS accelerometer installed at the center of the head of the shell 2, which monitors the spatial posture of the signal probe in real time. The three-axis MEMS accelerometer communicates with the main control unit of the signal processing module through an I2C interface, and outputs three-axis acceleration data in real time to calculate the spatial posture of the probe, which is used to correct the inclination error in the buried depth measurement. The signal processing module simultaneously drives a human-computer interaction module connected to the signal processing module.

[0023] The human-computer interaction module integrates an acousto-optic dual-mode feedback system, comprising an LED array 9 and a buzzer 10. The LED array 9 comprises a plurality of RGB LEDs installed on the shell 2, each LED being connected in series through a driving chip and connected to the signal processing module. The color gradient of the LED array 9 indicates the signal strength. The buzzer 10 is connected to the signal processing module through a transistor switching circuit. The buzzer 10 emits audio alarms of different frequencies according to the triggering instructions. Specifically, the driving chip adopts WS2812B. When the probe is located directly above the cable, the LED displays green and the buzzer is silent. When the probe deviates, the LED gradually changes to red, and the frequency of the buzzer increases with the degree of deviation. The buzzer 10 is a piezoelectric buzzer connected to the main control GPIO pin.

[0024] An oscillator 12 and a voltage stabilizer 11 are connected to the preamplifier, which is used to generate a stable high-frequency sine wave with stable voltage amplitude and reduced distortion. The voltage stabilizer ensures that the amplifier and oscillator are supplied with stable voltage.

[0025] Taking the construction project of the Qiyuan Central Coal Preparation Plant as an example, eight cables are arranged on the construction site, with buried depths of 400 mm, 500 mm, 600 mm, 700 mm, 800 mm, 900 mm, 1100 mm and 1500 mm, respectively.
