[0001] The embodiments of this application relate to the field of public safety and disaster early warning technology, and in particular to an environmental monitoring system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the intensified interaction between the natural environment and human engineering activities, slope collapse accidents have occurred frequently, posing a serious threat to water conservancy facilities, mineral resources, and the safety of people's lives and property.

[0003] Currently, the main method used is to monitor slope displacement using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to warn people of potential slope collapse. However, GNSS monitoring is susceptible to weather conditions, which can affect the accuracy of monitoring under adverse weather conditions, thereby reducing the monitoring precision and ultimately the effectiveness of the monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an environmental monitoring system capable of accurately measuring ground displacement and providing timely warnings, thereby improving detection effectiveness.

[0005] The embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides an environmental monitoring system, which includes: a displacement sensor, a main control module, an alarm module, and a driving device. The displacement sensor is fixed at a position on the ground, and multiple monitoring points are set around the position of the displacement sensor. Each monitoring point is marked by a fixing device. The driving device connects the fixing devices of all monitoring points to the displacement sensor and ensures the displacement accuracy of the displacement sensor.

[0007] The displacement sensor is connected to the main control module and is used to acquire displacement data of the displacement sensor moving towards the monitoring point when the fixed device corresponding to the monitoring point is displaced, and send the displacement data to the main control module.

[0008] The main control module communicates with the displacement sensor and the alarm module. It generates an alarm message and sends the alarm message to the alarm module when the displacement of the displacement sensor in the direction of the monitoring point is greater than the displacement threshold.

[0009] The alarm module communicates with the main control module and is used to issue early warnings based on alarm information.

[0010] In some embodiments, the displacement sensor includes an accelerometer, which is used to acquire the acceleration of the displacement sensor and output an electrical signal proportional to the acceleration.

[0011] In some embodiments, the system includes a terminal device;

[0012] The main control module communicates with the terminal device and is used to process the displacement data, obtain the processed data, and send the processed data to the terminal device.

[0013] The terminal device is connected to the main control module and is used to display the processed data on the terminal device's display interface.

[0014] In some embodiments, the alarm module includes a communication alarm module, a light alarm, and a buzzer alarm;

[0015] The communication alarm module is connected to the main control module and the terminal device. It is used to receive alarm information sent by the main control module, generate SMS data based on the alarm information, and send the SMS data to the terminal device.

[0016] The light alarm is connected to the main control module and is used to activate the lights based on alarm information.

[0017] The buzzer alarm is connected to the main control module and is used to activate the alarm based on alarm information.

[0019] In some embodiments, the system includes a database, a main control module, and is also used to save the processed displacement data to the database.

[0020] In some embodiments, each monitoring point is provided with a fixed anchor rod. The displacement of the fixed anchor rod causes the displacement sensor to deflect towards the anchor rod direction of the monitoring point, thereby generating displacement data.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application's embodiments are as follows: Unlike existing technologies, this application provides an environmental monitoring system comprising: a displacement sensor, a main control module, and an alarm module. The displacement sensor is fixed at a location on the ground, and multiple monitoring points are set around the sensor's location. Each monitoring point is marked by a fixing device, and all monitoring points' anchors are connected to the displacement sensor via a driving device. The displacement sensor, communicatively connected to the main control module, acquires displacement data (the displacement data caused by the driving device moving the sensor towards the monitoring point) when the fixing device corresponding to the monitoring point shifts, and sends the displacement data to the main control module. The main control module, communicatively connected to a slope displacement sensor and the alarm module, generates an alarm message when the displacement of the displacement sensor towards the monitoring point exceeds a displacement threshold, and sends the alarm message to the alarm module. The alarm module, communicatively connected to the main control module, provides early warning based on the alarm message.

[0022] When the fixed device corresponding to the monitoring point is displaced, the displacement sensor acquires the displacement data of the displacement sensor moving towards the monitoring point driven by the driving device. The main control module determines that when the displacement of the displacement sensor towards the monitoring point is greater than the displacement threshold, the alarm module issues an early warning based on the alarm information. This can accurately measure the displacement of the ground and issue timely warnings, thereby improving the detection effect. Attached Figure Description

[0037] Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0041] The technical solution of this application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an environmental monitoring system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the environmental monitoring system 1000 includes a displacement sensor 100, a main control module 200, an alarm module 300, and a drive device 400. The displacement sensor 100, the main control module 200, and the alarm module 300 are connected via a wireless network and / or a wired network. The wireless network includes 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc., and the wired network includes Ethernet, serial cables, etc.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, the environmental monitoring system 1000 is applied to various scenarios, such as slopes, bridges, roads, mines, and reservoirs. The environmental monitoring system 1000 is used to monitor landslides and collapses.

[0045] In this embodiment of the application, before the environmental monitoring system 1000 operates, the displacement sensor 100 is fixed at a position on the ground, which can be the upper part of a slope or the upper part of a bridge. Multiple monitoring points are set around the position of the displacement sensor 100, and each monitoring point is marked by a fixing device. The fixing devices of all monitoring points are connected to the displacement sensor 100 through the drive device 400. The fixing device can be a device for marking, such as an anchor rod. The drive device 400 can be a pull rope. The drive device 400 is made of a material that is resistant to high temperature, corrosion, and has high tensile strength, so that the drive device 400 is not easily deformed or damaged in different environments.

[0046] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is an example schematic diagram of an anchor bolt provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing device is an anchor bolt, which is made of high-strength steel with spiral ribs on the surface. This increases the torque force of the anchor bolt during drilling into the ground and improves the anchoring force and stability of the anchor bolt.

[0048] In this embodiment, multiple monitoring points are located below the displacement sensor 100. For example, if the displacement sensor 100 is fixed above the slope, then the multiple monitoring points are fixed below the slope. These multiple monitoring points can be arranged in a fan shape, for example, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the distribution of multiple monitoring points provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, N monitoring points are connected to displacement sensor 100 through a fixing device, where N is a positive integer and is greater than or equal to 1.

[0049] Multiple monitoring points can also be set up in a star-shaped network.

[0050] In this embodiment of the application, multiple monitoring points are set up to cover multiple areas, thus making the monitoring range wide.

[0051] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is an example schematic diagram of a displacement sensor connected to multiple monitoring points via a driving device, as provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the drive device 400 is connected to the anchor rod corresponding to the monitoring point, and the other end of the drive device 400 is connected to the displacement sensor 100.

[0053] The displacement sensor 100 is communicatively connected to the main control module 200. When the fixed device corresponding to the monitoring point is displaced, the displacement sensor 100 is used to acquire displacement data of the displacement sensor 100 being driven by the driving device 400 to move towards the monitoring point, and then send the displacement data to the main control module 200.

[0054] In this embodiment of the application, the displacement sensor 100 is a low-power displacement sensor. The displacement sensor 100 can be a Hall effect displacement sensor, a magnetostrictive displacement sensor, a low-power position detection chip, or other devices used for displacement detection.

[0055] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a displacement sensor provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, the displacement sensor 100 includes an accelerometer 101, which is used to acquire the acceleration of the displacement sensor 100 and output an electrical signal proportional to the acceleration. The accelerometer 101 can be a triaxial accelerometer.

[0057] Specifically, when the fixed device corresponding to the monitoring point is displaced, the displacement sensor 100 is simultaneously displaced by the driving device. When the pulling force of the driving device to displace the displacement sensor 100 is greater than the pulling force threshold, the accelerometer 101 measures the acceleration of the displacement sensor 100 and outputs an electrical signal proportional to the acceleration.

[0058] In this embodiment, each monitoring point is equipped with a fixed anchor rod. The displacement of the fixed anchor rod causes the displacement sensor to deflect towards the anchor rod direction of the monitoring point, thereby generating displacement data.

[0059] Specifically, each monitoring point is equipped with a fixed device, for example, the fixed device is... Figure 2 The anchor bolts shown, taking a slope as an example, have multiple monitoring points arranged in a fan-shaped or star-shaped network below the slope, with displacement sensors 100 installed above the slope. The fixing device corresponding to each monitoring point is connected to the displacement sensor 100 via a drive device, for example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The anchor rod corresponding to the monitoring point is connected to the displacement sensor 100. When a landslide occurs on the slope, the anchor rod corresponding to the monitoring point moves. During the movement of the anchor rod, the displacement sensor 100 is pulled in the direction of the anchor rod movement by the drive device. When the displacement sensor 100 moves, it outputs an electrical signal.

[0060] In this embodiment, the displacement sensor 100 converts displacement data into an electrical signal and sends the electrical signal to the main control module 200. The displacement data includes the initial position, final position, and displacement velocity of the displacement sensor 100.

[0061] In this embodiment, the displacement sensor 100 automatically detects changes in the environment, eliminating the need for on-site manual inspection and saving labor costs. When displacement occurs, the displacement sensor 100 can quickly acquire its own displacement data and send it to the main control module, avoiding the influence of weather conditions. This allows for timely feedback of displacement data, improving monitoring effectiveness and providing timely warnings.

[0062] The main control module 200 is communicatively connected to the displacement sensor 100 and the alarm module 300. The main control module 200 acquires displacement data sent by the displacement sensor 100. When the displacement of the displacement sensor 100 exceeds a displacement threshold, it generates an alarm message and sends it to the alarm module 300. The main control module 200 serves as an information transmission platform, primarily processing the data transmitted by the displacement sensor 100 and providing data to other devices. The main control module 200 includes, but is not limited to, a server.

[0063] Specifically, after receiving the displacement data, the main control module 200 performs filtering, peak and valley detection, and pattern recognition on the displacement data based on intelligent analysis algorithms and multi-point relative displacement technology to obtain processed data. The processed data includes the displacement of the displacement sensor 100. When the displacement of the displacement sensor 100 is greater than the displacement threshold, an alarm message is generated. The alarm message includes the displacement sensor identifier, actual displacement value, displacement threshold, location information, and contact information.

[0064] Among them, intelligent analysis algorithms and multi-point relative displacement technology are existing technologies and will not be explained in detail here.

[0065] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an environmental monitoring system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, the environmental monitoring system 1000 includes a database 500, which is connected to the main control module 200. The database 500 is used to store the data processed by the main control module 200. The database 500 can be of various types, including but not limited to MySQL, Redis, etc.

[0067] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an environmental monitoring system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, the environmental monitoring system 1000 also includes a terminal device 600, which is communicatively connected to the main control module 200. The terminal device 600 is used to obtain processed data from the main control module 200 and display the processed data on the display interface of the terminal device 600.

[0069] For example, please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is an example schematic diagram of the display screen of a terminal device provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the terminal device 600 displays the displacement of a monitoring point in a certain environment on its display interface, and also displays the potential danger of the monitoring point several hours from now.

[0070] The alarm module 300 is communicatively connected to the main control module 200. The alarm module 300 is used to issue early warnings based on alarm information. The early warning methods include, but are not limited to, remote alarms (such as SMS and telephone notifications) and on-site alarms (such as light and buzzer alarms).

[0071] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an alarm module provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0072] like Figure 9 As shown, the alarm module 300 includes a communication alarm module 301, a light alarm 302, and a buzzer alarm 303.

[0073] The communication alarm module 301 is communicatively connected to the main control module 200 and the terminal device 600. The communication alarm module 301 is used to acquire early warning information from the main control module 200, generate SMS data based on the early warning information, and send the SMS data to the terminal device 600. The communication alarm module 301 can be a communication interface, such as an Ethernet interface or a fiber optic interface.

[0074] In this embodiment, the communication alarm module 301 can also send the warning information to the terminal device 600 via telephone.

[0075] The light alarm 302 is connected to the main control module 200 and is used to activate the light based on alarm information, so as to notify people in the surrounding area that there is a risk of landslide at the location by flashing the light.

[0076] The buzzer alarm 303 is connected to the main control module 200 and is used to activate the alarm based on alarm information.

[0077] In this embodiment, the displacement sensor 100 can be connected to the light alarm 302 and the buzzer alarm 303, and the displacement sensor 100 can trigger the light alarm 302 and the buzzer alarm 303.

[0078] In this embodiment, the light alarm 302 and the buzzer alarm 303 can also be integrated with the displacement sensor 100.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, each displacement sensor is assigned a unique number and a unique QR code. By logging into the application through the terminal device 600 and scanning the QR code corresponding to the displacement sensor, the user can view the environment of the displacement sensor corresponding to the QR code in real time through the terminal device 600.

[0080] For example, please see Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 10 This is an example schematic diagram of scanning a QR code provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 This is an example schematic diagram of a displacement sensor associated with scanning a QR code, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 , 11 As shown, the application corresponding to the environmental monitoring system is opened on the terminal device 600, and the scanning interface is opened. By scanning the QR code, the user is redirected to the interface for activating the current displacement sensor. The main control module 200 obtains an image of the environment where the current displacement sensor is located, and the user fills in the necessary information to activate the displacement sensor.

[0081] Please refer to it again. Figure 8 ,like Figure 8 As shown, after activating the device, you can view the environment of the displacement sensor in real time on the terminal device.

[0082] In this embodiment of the application, in order to ensure that the displacement sensor 100 continues to work, a backup power supply unit can also be set up. The backup power supply unit is connected to the displacement sensor 100. When the displacement sensor 100 itself is depleted, the backup power supply unit continues to supply power to the displacement sensor 100 to ensure that the environmental monitoring system 1000 can operate stably.

[0083] Please see Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an environmental monitoring system provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0084] like Figure 12 As shown, the environmental monitoring system 1000 includes a displacement sensor 100, a main control module 200, an alarm module 300, a database 500, and a terminal device 600.

[0085] Specifically, the displacement sensor 100 is used to monitor the environment, such as whether a slope will experience a landslide. If the ground in the environment is displaced, the displacement sensor 100 acquires the displacement data and sends it to the main control module 200. When the displacement of the displacement sensor 100 exceeds the displacement threshold, the main control module 200 generates an alarm message and sends it to the alarm module 300. The alarm module 300 issues a warning to remind people around the environment where the displacement sensor 100 is located, and also sends the alarm message to the terminal device 600 to remotely notify relevant personnel.

[0086] In this embodiment of the application, by setting up multiple monitoring points and cooperating with each other through various modules in the environmental monitoring system 1000, the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring results are improved, providing strong support for the prevention and emergency rescue of slope collapse accidents.

[0087] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them; under the concept of this application, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations as described above in different aspects of this application, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity; although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
