DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following description and drawings are omitted and simplified as appropriate for clarity of explanation. In addition, in each of the following drawings, the same elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations are omitted as necessary.
[0013] <Embodiment 1> Fig. 1 shows a configuration example of a deterioration determination system according to the present embodiment 1. Note that, in Fig. 1, for the sake of simplicity, only three utility poles 10 are shown, but the number of utility poles 10 is not limited to three.
[0014] 1, the deterioration determination system according to the first embodiment includes an optical fiber cable 20, an optical fiber sensing device 30, and a deterioration determination device 40. The optical fiber sensing device 30 includes a communication unit 31 and a detection unit 32, and the deterioration determination device 40 includes a determination unit 41. The deterioration determination device 40 can be placed at a location away from the optical fiber sensing device 30, and can be placed on the cloud, for example.
[0015] The optical fiber cable 20 is laid on the utility pole 10. The optical fiber cable 20 is a cable including one or more optical fibers 21, and one end is connected to a communication unit 31 in the optical fiber sensing device 30. The optical fiber 21 may be an optical fiber dedicated to sensing, or may be an optical fiber used for both communication and sensing. When the optical fiber 21 is an optical fiber used for both communication and sensing, the optical signal for sensing is split by a filter (not shown) in the stage preceding the communication unit 31 so that only the optical signal for sensing can be received by the communication unit 31.
[0016] The communication unit 31 inputs pulsed light into the optical fiber 21 included in the optical fiber cable 20, and receives backscattered light generated as the pulsed light is transmitted through the optical fiber 21 as an optical signal (optical signal for sensing; the same applies below).
[0017] When vibrations occur in the utility pole 10, the vibrations of the utility pole 10 are transmitted to the optical fiber cable 20. As a result, the characteristics (for example, wavelength) of the optical signal transmitted through the optical fiber 21 included in the optical fiber cable 20 change.
[0018] Therefore, the detection unit 32 can detect vibrations occurring in the utility pole 10 based on the optical signal received by the communication unit 31 from the optical fiber 21.
[0019] Furthermore, the detection unit 32 can identify the position where the optical signal was generated (the distance of the optical fiber 21 from the communication unit 31) based on the time difference between the time when the communication unit 31 inputs the pulsed light to the optical fiber 21 and the time when the communication unit 31 receives the optical signal from the optical fiber 21. Therefore, the detection unit 32 can identify which utility pole 10 the optical signal was generated from by checking the position where the optical signal was generated against the correspondence table shown in FIG. 2. In other words, when the detection unit 32 detects vibration generated in the utility pole 10, it can identify which utility pole 10 the vibration was generated in. Note that the correspondence table in FIG. 2 associates the utility pole number of the utility pole 10 with the model of the utility pole 10 and the distance of the optical fiber 21 from the communication unit 31, but the model of the utility pole 10 may be associated arbitrarily. Furthermore, the correspondence table in FIG. 2 may be stored in advance in a memory or the like (not shown).
[0020] Here, the vibration waveform of the vibration of the utility pole 10 detected by the detection unit 32 is a specific vibration waveform according to the type and deterioration state of the utility pole 10, as will be described later. Therefore, the discrimination unit 41 discriminates the deterioration of the utility pole 10 based on the vibration of the utility pole 10 detected by the detection unit 32.
[0021] A method for determining the deterioration of the utility pole 10 in the determining unit 41 will be described in detail below. <Verification of vibration waveform of utility pole 10> First, the inventors examined the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10. The results of the examination will be described below.
[0022] First, the inventors classified the utility poles 10 into one of the following two types of labels depending on the deterioration state. ·"deterioration": Utility poles with vertical cracks or leaking lime or rust ·"normal": Normal utility pole The label classification can be made with a plurality of labels in accordance with the deterioration state other than "deteriorated" and "normal."
[0023] Next, the inventors observed the vibration waveform for each utility pole 10 when striking the utility pole 10 with a hammer. Here, the inventors struck a utility pole 10 with a hammer and observed the spectrum of the vibration waveform immediately after the strike.
[0024] Fig. 3 shows an example of a vibration waveform when a utility pole 10 of type "A" and labeled "normal" is struck with a hammer. In Fig. 3, the horizontal axis indicates time, and the vertical axis indicates vibration intensity.
[0025] FIG. 4 shows an example of the spectrum of the vibration waveform immediately after hitting a utility pole 10 of type "A" and labeled "normal" with a hammer. FIG. 4 shows the spectrum of the vibration waveform of each of two utility poles 10 of type "A" and labeled "normal". Similarly, FIG. 5 shows an example of the spectrum of the vibration waveform of each of two utility poles 10 of type "A" and labeled "deteriorated". Also, FIG. 6 shows an example of the spectrum of the vibration waveform of one utility pole 10 of type "B" and labeled "deteriorated". In FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the horizontal axis indicates frequency, and the vertical axis indicates vibration intensity. Also, FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 show the average value and variance of vibration intensity versus frequency for multiple hits with a hammer.
[0026] For example, comparing Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, it can be seen that even for utility poles 10 of the same model "A", if the deterioration state is different, the vibration frequency at which the vibration intensity reaches its peak (hereinafter referred to as the peak frequency) will be different. Specifically, in the "normal" utility pole 10 shown in Fig. 4, a peak frequency appears at 42 Hz. In contrast, in the "deteriorated" utility pole 10 shown in Fig. 5, a peak frequency appears at 37 Hz to 38 Hz.
[0027] Furthermore, for example, comparing Figure 5 with Figure 6, it can be seen that even utility poles 10 with the same "deteriorated" label have different peak frequencies if their models are different. Specifically, the utility pole 10 of model "A" shown in Figure 5 has a peak frequency at 37 Hz to 38 Hz. In contrast, the utility pole 10 of model "B" shown in Figure 6 has a peak frequency at 44 Hz to 45 Hz.
[0028] As described above, the inventors have confirmed that the peak frequency in the spectrum of the vibration waveform when the utility pole 10 is struck with a hammer varies depending on the type of utility pole 10 and further varies depending on the deterioration state of the utility pole 10.
[0029] Next, the inventors observed the vibration waveform of each utility pole 10 when that utility pole 10 was vibrating naturally. FIG. 7 shows an example of a vibration waveform of a utility pole 10 of type "A" and labeled "normal" and a spectrogram of the vibration waveform. In FIG. 7, the upper diagram shows the vibration waveform, and the lower diagram shows a spectrogram of the vibration waveform. In the upper diagram of FIG. 7, the horizontal axis shows time, and the vertical axis shows vibration intensity. In the lower diagram of FIG. 7, the horizontal axis shows time, and the vertical axis shows frequency. Similarly, FIG. 8 shows an example of a vibration waveform of a utility pole 10 of type "A" and labeled "deteriorated" and a spectrogram of the vibration waveform.
[0030] 7 and 8, it can be seen that high vibration frequency components of about 30 Hz to 50 Hz appear occasionally in the spectrogram of the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10. The high vibration frequency components correspond to the area surrounded by a solid line on the spectrogram of the vibration waveform.
[0031] Therefore, the inventors performed the following at one-second intervals for each utility pole 10, using the vibration waveform when the utility pole 10 was vibrating naturally and the spectrogram of the vibration waveform. The time periods during which the peak frequencies could be extracted correspond to the areas shaded in light colors on the vibration waveforms in Figures 7 and 8. The vibration frequency at which the amplitude intensity is three times or more the average amplitude intensity and is within the range of 30Hz to 50Hz is extracted as the peak frequency.
[0032] 9A to 9D show examples of the results of tallying the peak frequencies extracted when the utility poles 10 are vibrating naturally, for each of four utility poles 10. Note that Figs. 9A to 9D show the label of the utility pole 10, the pole number of the utility pole 10, the number of times each frequency was extracted as a peak frequency, the frequency most frequently extracted as a peak frequency, and the peak frequency when struck with a hammer.
[0033] 9A, for example, when utility pole 10 with utility pole number "1" is vibrating naturally, the frequency extracted most frequently as the peak frequency is 42 Hz, which was extracted 68 times. In addition, when utility pole 10 with utility pole number "1" is struck with a hammer, the peak frequencies are 8 Hz, 9 Hz, 35 Hz, and 42 Hz.
[0034] That is, in the case of utility pole 10 with utility pole number "1," the frequency of 42 Hz that was most frequently extracted as the peak frequency during natural vibration coincides with 42 Hz, which is one of the peak frequencies when struck with a hammer. A similar tendency was confirmed in utility poles 10 with other utility pole numbers.
[0035] As described above, the inventors have confirmed that the frequencies that are frequently extracted as peak frequencies when the utility pole 10 is vibrating naturally tend to match the peak frequencies when the utility pole 10 is struck with a hammer.
[0036] <Method of determining deterioration of utility pole 10> As described above, the frequency that is extracted frequently as a peak frequency when the utility pole 10 is vibrating naturally tends to match the peak frequency when the utility pole 10 is struck with a hammer.
[0037] Therefore, even without striking the utility pole 10 with a hammer to generate artificial vibrations, it is possible to determine the deterioration of the utility pole 10 by using, for example, the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10 when it is vibrating naturally.
[0038] Therefore, the discrimination unit 41 discriminates the deterioration of the utility pole 10 based on the vibration frequency of the vibration that occurred during a specific period among the vibrations of the utility pole 10 detected by the detection unit 32. The specific period is a period that includes the time when the vibration intensity of the vibration of the utility pole 10 becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The predetermined value of the vibration intensity can be, for example, a value that is equal to or greater than three times the average value of the amplitude intensity, as in the above example, but is not limited to this.
[0039] In detail, each time the vibration intensity of the vibration of the utility pole 10 detected by the detection unit 32 becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value during a specific period, the discrimination unit 41 extracts the vibration frequency at which the vibration intensity becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined value, and discriminates the deterioration of the utility pole 10 based on the vibration frequency that is extracted most frequently. More specifically, each time the vibration intensity of the vibration of the utility pole 10 detected by the detection unit 32 becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined value during a specific period, the discrimination unit 41 extracts the vibration frequency at which the vibration intensity becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined value and that is within a predetermined frequency range, and discriminates the deterioration of the utility pole 10 based on the vibration frequency that is extracted most frequently. The predetermined frequency range may be a high frequency range equivalent to the peak frequency when the utility pole 10 is struck, for example, a range of about 30 Hz to 50 Hz as in the above example, but is not limited to this.
[0040] At this time, the discrimination unit 41 may discriminate the deterioration of the utility pole 10 by using a learning model trained with different teacher data according to the type of the utility pole 10. The learning model is, for example, a learning model based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and may be stored in advance in a memory (not shown) or the like.
[0041] Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of training data used for learning the learning model. The training data shown in Fig. 10 is training data consisting of a set of the type of utility pole 10, the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10, and the deterioration state of the utility pole 10.
[0042] When the discrimination unit 41 uses the above-mentioned learning model, a pair of the type of utility pole 10 and the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10 is input to the learning model. If a correspondence table like that in Fig. 2 is stored in advance in a memory or the like (not shown), the type of utility pole 10 can be read from the correspondence table. The discrimination unit 41 can obtain the deterioration state of the utility pole 10 as an output result of the learning model in response to the above-mentioned input.
[0043] 10, the teacher data is a set of the type of utility pole 10, the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10, and the deterioration state of the utility pole 10, but is not limited to this. The discrimination unit 41 may derive a vibration frequency that is extracted as a peak frequency frequently based on the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10, and use the derived vibration frequency as teacher data instead of the vibration waveform of the utility pole 10.
[0044] Next, with reference to FIG. 11, an example of the flow of operations of the deterioration determination system according to the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, the communication unit 31 receives an optical signal from the optical fiber 21 included in the optical fiber cable 20 (step S11).
[0045] Next, the detection unit 32 detects the vibrations occurring in the utility pole 10 based on the optical signal received by the communication unit 31 (step S12). Thereafter, the discrimination unit 41 discriminates the deterioration of the utility pole 10 based on the vibration frequency of the vibration that occurred during a specific period among the vibrations detected by the detection unit 32 (step S13).
[0046] As described above, according to the first embodiment, the communication unit 31 receives an optical signal from the optical fiber 21. The detection unit 32 detects vibrations generated in the utility pole 10 based on the optical signal received by the communication unit 31. The discrimination unit 41 discriminates deterioration of the utility pole 10 based on the vibration frequency of vibrations generated during a specific period among the vibrations detected by the detection unit 32.
[0047] Therefore, it is possible to determine the deterioration of the utility pole 10 without generating artificial vibrations by striking the utility pole 10 with a hammer. This makes it possible to perform deterioration diagnosis of the utility pole 10 while reducing personnel costs.
[0048] <Embodiment 2> Next, with reference to FIG. 12, a configuration example of a deterioration determination system according to the second embodiment will be described.
[0049] As shown in FIG. 12, the deterioration determination system of this embodiment 2 differs from the configuration of FIG. 1 of the above-mentioned embodiment 1 in that an alarm unit 42 is added inside the deterioration determination device 40.
[0050] The notification unit 42 notifies a predetermined notification destination of the deterioration state of the utility pole 10 determined by the determination unit 41. The predetermined notification destination may be, for example, a terminal carried by a monitor who monitors the utility pole 10, or a terminal installed in a monitoring center. The notification method may be, for example, a method of displaying a GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen on a display or monitor of the notification destination terminal, or a method of outputting a message by voice from a speaker of the notification destination terminal. The notification unit 42 may also notify the deterioration state of the utility pole 10 only when the deterioration degree of the utility pole 10 is equal to or greater than a threshold value.
[0051] Next, an example of the flow of operations of the deterioration determination system according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, first, the processes of steps S21 to S23 similar to steps S11 to S13 in FIG. 11 of the above-mentioned first embodiment are performed. Thereafter, the notification unit 42 notifies a predetermined notification destination of the deterioration state of the utility pole 10 determined by the determination unit 41 (step S24).
[0052] As described above, according to the second embodiment, the notification unit 42 notifies a predetermined notification destination of the deterioration state of the utility pole 10 determined by the determination unit 41. This makes it possible to notify the monitor who monitors the utility pole 10 or a monitoring center of the deterioration state of the utility pole 10. The other effects are the same as those of the first embodiment described above.
[0053] <Other embodiments> In the embodiment described above, the communication unit 31 and the detection unit 32 are separated from the deterioration determination device 40, but this is not limited thereto. The communication unit 31 and the detection unit 32 may be provided inside the deterioration determination device 40. Fig. 14 shows an example of the configuration of a deterioration determination system in which the communication unit 31 and the detection unit 32 are provided inside the deterioration determination device 40. Note that the deterioration determination system shown in Fig. 14 may further include a notification unit 42 inside the deterioration determination device 40, as in the second embodiment described above.
[0054] In the above-described embodiment, one communication unit 31 and one detection unit 32 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a plurality of optical fibers 21 are provided, a plurality of communication units 31 and a plurality of detection units 32 may be provided corresponding to the plurality of optical fibers 21, respectively. Also, a plurality of discrimination units 41 may be provided corresponding to the plurality of optical fibers 21, respectively.

[0056] 15, the computer 50 includes a processor 501, a memory 502, a storage 503, an input / output interface (input / output I / F) 504, and a communication interface (communication I / F) 505.
