Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline leakage detection technology, and in particular relates to a pipeline leakage sound detection circuit. Background Technology
[0002] In pipeline leakage detection, sound detection is a commonly used method. Traditional sound detection methods mainly use listening rods or noise leak detectors to capture sound changes in the pipeline to determine the location of the leak. This method relies on manual listening and is greatly affected by environmental noise and the operator's experience. In addition, it is also greatly affected by ambient temperature. Temperature changes affect the speed of sound propagation and attenuation characteristics in the medium, thus affecting the accuracy of leak sound signal detection.
[0003] Patent application CN218153673U discloses an IoT-based water supply network leakage detection device, including a first pipe and a second pipe. The first and second pipes are connected at their closest points via a flange. A detection component is installed on the outer wall of the flange, and an adjustment component is installed on the outer wall of the first pipe. This device uses the detection component to monitor the flange connecting the first and second pipes in real time, facilitating timely detection of leaks and their condition. Leaks are detected using IoT technologies such as cameras, humidity sensors, and pressure sensors. However, this patent application also uses a leak detector to monitor network leakage, which has low accuracy and does not describe a technical solution for compensating for temperature changes, exhibiting the same drawbacks as existing technologies.
[0004] Therefore, how to compensate for temperature changes to improve the accuracy of leakage sound detection is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those in this technical field. Utility Model Content
