Description

High-precision laser mud level gauge with multi-point monitoring function TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent water conservancy engineering, in particular to a high-precision laser mud level gauge with multi-point monitoring function. BACKGROUND

[0002] The drainage pipe network system, as an important infrastructure construction project in urban development, not only plays an important role in collecting and transporting rainwater, urban domestic sewage and industrial wastewater, but also shoulders important responsibilities such as urban water environment pollution prevention and control, drainage and flood control. Almost all problems in the drainage pipe system are closely related to the flow characteristics in the pipe, that is, the transportation process of water in the drainage pipe. For urban drainage pipes, due to historical factors, climate change and design cost reasons, it is impossible to design the pipe as a pipe system with large diameter and insignificant siltation effect, so siltation in urban drainage pipes is a fact in the near future and even a long period of time. There are two main reasons for pipe siltation: one is the deposition of solid particles washed into the drainage pipe by rainwater runoff; the other is the sedimentation of suspended solids in the sewage pipe. The existence of siltation reduces the capacity of the pipe and thus reduces the transportation capacity of the pipe, and may even cause pipe blockage. Pipe siltation brings many problems to pipe operation and maintenance, etc. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate and monitor the siltation condition of the drainage pipe.

[0003] The mud level gauge, i.e. the monitoring equipment for mud level monitoring, currently uses radar mud level gauges or ultrasonic mud level gauges in the industry, and is generally used in the clarifiers of sewage treatment plants. The installation point of the equipment has small environmental interference, and the principle is to first set the height of the radar or ultrasonic mud level gauge from the bottom of the pool, then detect the interface height of the sludge and water by radar or ultrasonic wave, and obtain the mud level height by algorithm operation. However, such equipment is not suitable for application in complex conditions such as urban drainage pipes or channels, and the flowing water in the drainage pipe will interfere with the radar or ultrasonic mud level gauge, making it difficult to obtain accurate mud level data. The traditional measurement principle and measurement equipment are difficult to apply to the mud level monitoring of municipal drainage pipes. The real-time monitoring technology of drainage pipe network mud level in China is almost in the blank stage, and there is still a lack of effective monitoring technology measures.

[0047] The controller is of SRC-880 type.

[0050] In addition, preferably, the ultrasonic sensor can be used for liquid level monitoring in a drainage pipeline, and the real sewage liquid level in the pipeline can be obtained by converting the liquid level monitoring data and the sludge level monitoring data.

[0051] In order to more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of the present application, an embodiment is provided as follows:

[0052] The monitoring principle of the present sludge level meter is to utilize the Doppler effect of laser to monitor. When the laser beam is irradiated on a moving object, the laser scattered by the moving object produces Doppler frequency shift. The movement speed of the fluid is determined by monitoring the optical frequency difference. When the movement speed of the object is 0, i.e. the laser is irradiated on the sludge or the pipe wall which does not move, the Doppler frequency shift produced by the laser is 0. The laser emission and receiving device, the movable convex lens and the fixed convex lens and other components can focus the laser to a predetermined focal point in the drainage pipeline. The laser focal point path 2 is shown in Fig. 1. A part of the laser in the focal point of the light beam is backscattered from the substance in the drainage pipeline, returns along the same path as the emitted light, and is focused back into the laser emission and receiving device. The point position of the signal data acquisition can be controlled by the positioning of the laser beam focal point. The laser emission and receiving device is set to receive only the laser Doppler signal from the laser focal point area. Finally, the position of the laser focal point in the drainage pipeline is controlled by the controller, so that the sludge level monitoring of multiple point positions is realized, as shown in Fig. 1.

[0053] The implementation process of the present application is as follows:

[0054] The present application is implemented in the municipal drainage pipeline network to monitor the sludge level, liquid level and other information of the drainage pipeline network.

[0055] Firstly, the installation position of the present sludge level meter in the drainage pipeline network is selected. A point position to be monitored is cleaned out. The point position is a pipe section without sludge and sewage. After the pipe cleaning is completed, if the present sludge level meter is installed at the top of the drainage pipeline, the fixed bolt is inserted into the top of the drainage pipeline. Then, whether the rotating disc is installed horizontally is checked by the level. Subsequently, the cleaning water tank is filled with clean water through the water filling hole. The sludge level meter is adjusted to make the bubble in the level bubble central. The above is the setting of the initial position of the sludge level meter. The remote controller is controlled by the power communication cable. The point position to be monitored is set. The horizontal and vertical angles of the sludge level meter are adjusted by the rotating disc and the turning hanging plate. The focal point position is adjusted by the movable convex lens. The background position information of the clean pipeline is monitored first to distinguish the sludge without flow rate. After the pipe background data corresponding to all the monitoring point positions are recorded, the initial information recording of the pipeline is completed. The cleaning frequency of the external lens of the sludge level meter is controlled by the controller. The cleaning mode is first the cleaning water pressure jet cleaning, and then the pressure gas jet cleaning. The present sludge level meter can utilize the battery or the power supply communication cable to provide energy power.

[0056] If the present sludge level meter needs to be installed on the side wall of the inspection well, the well wall fixing plate is first fixed on the side wall of the inspection well by the expansion bolt. The subsequent implementation process is consistent with the previous section.

[0057] In addition, preferably, the mud level meter of the present application is particularly suitable for mud level monitoring in a complex environment of a pipeline, on the one hand, the inside of the drainage pipeline is usually humid, and mist is easily formed; on the other hand, sewage splashing in the pipeline causes light shielding or refraction on the external lens of the mud level meter, and reduces the monitoring accuracy. Therefore, the present application designs a gas-liquid drying and flushing unit, which, when working, first performs pulse high-pressure water flushing of the external lens of the mud level meter by a water flushing system, then absorbs heat dissipation of the electrical equipment inside the shell by an air drying system, and forms high-temperature and high-pressure hot air to dry the external lens of the mud level meter, so as to solve the problem of measurement inaccuracy caused by dirt on the external lens of the mud level meter.

[0058] The monitoring method of the present application is as follows:

[0059] Step one: calibration, first, a standard pipeline of the mud level meter is used (the standard pipeline has the same diameter as the actual pipeline to be measured, and is filled with water but has no accumulated mud), the focal point path extends along the axial direction of the inner wall of the pipeline, to scan the interface between the pipe wall and the water in the pipeline at different axial positions, and the interface is defined as the standard 0 accumulated mud surface. During the monitoring process, the laser focal point falls on the position of the intersection of the pipe wall and the fluid 3 in the pipeline, and the focal length adjustment amount of the movable convex lens is positioned according to the position, and the adjustment amount is used as the initial calibration value of the accumulated mud 4 of the 0-thickness pipeline;

[0060] Step two: single-point monitoring, the laser emission and receiving device emits laser, and the focused laser is emitted in sequence through the fixed convex lens, the movable convex lens and the external lens of the mud level meter, the light signal reflected back by the focal point of the focused laser is collected by the laser emission and receiving device, to determine the flow rate of the fluid at the focal point position. When the flow rate of the fluid is N (N≠0), it is determined that the laser focal point is located at the middle position of the fluid in the pipeline; and when the flow rate of the fluid is 0, it is determined that the laser focal point is located at the mud surface position of the accumulated mud in the pipeline. The focal length adjustment amount of the movable convex lens is positioned by determining the transient state of the pipeline flow rate changing from N to 0, and compared with the focal length calibration value, to calculate the thickness of the accumulated mud in the pipeline;

[0061] Step three: the laser focal point path 2 in FIG. 1 is used to control the horizontal torsion and vertical overturning of the mud level meter gun, and the focal length adjustment of the movable convex lens, to monitor the pipeline accumulated mud, pipeline damage, pipeline collapse and pipeline corrosion and other pipeline inner wall intrusion faults of the multiple-point pipeline inner wall of the whole pipeline by the axially distributed spiral laser focal point path.

[0062] Through the use of the mud level meter in the present application, the mud level, liquid level and other information in the municipal drainage pipeline are accurately and real-timely monitored, the mud level meter is easy to maintain, and the labor maintenance cost is greatly reduced. The data collected by the mud level meter is abundant and reliable, and provides a feasible way and method for the planning, construction and maintenance of the municipal drainage system.

[0063] Finally, the unmentioned parts of the present application all adopt mature products and mature technical means in the prior art.

[0064] It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. The scope of the application should, therefore, be determined not with reference to the above description, but instead with reference to the appended claims, along with their full scope of equivalents.
