The application provides a cable fault positioning device and method based on analog latch and vector
fingerprint, and relates to the technical field of cable fault monitoring, which comprises an electromagnetic sensing module, a detection of electromagnetic traveling wave and a generation of a first trigger
signal when the change rate is over the threshold value; an analog time latch module, a response to the first trigger
signal timing and information recording; a vector
fingerprint checking module, a collection of vibration signals and a generation of a second trigger
signal according to the checking criteria; a master control and communication module, a response to the second trigger signal to wake up, a reading of the timing information to determine the time
backtracking amount, a combination of the
sound wave arrival time to calculate the real
time difference, and a calculation of the fault distance according to the corrected sound velocity and a sending of the result. The beneficial effect eliminates the influence of the MCU wake-up
delay on the time reference through the analog time latch, provides a reliable basis for high-precision
ranging, and greatly reduces the
false positive rate by using the vector
fingerprint checking criteria to distinguish the radial
shock wave from the external interference, thereby saving the
energy consumption and communication resources.
