For passive positioning outside the pipe, the existing method mainly adopts an extremely low electromagnetic wave positioning technology and an acoustic wave positioning technology. The extremely low electromagnetic wave positioning technology can avoid the shielding effect of the metal pipeline on electromagnetic waves, but the positioning method adopts a mode of establishing a receiving base station to acquire extremely low electromagnetic wave signals sent by the pipeline robot. The receiving base station adopts a sensor array which is arranged completely, and the single arrangement mode leads to single type of signals received by the sensors, which is not beneficial to positioning under the condition of changeable pipeline trend.

Detailed Description
In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical scheme of the present invention by those skilled in the art, the technical scheme of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The terms "first," "second," and the like, are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless explicitly defined otherwise.
Referring to fig. 1, the embodiment discloses a method for marking a leakage position of a water supply pipeline based on an intelligent ball and an external magnetic field, which comprises the following steps:
before the intelligent ball 1 is put in, the electric quantity of the intelligent ball 1 is ensured to be full. Meanwhile, measuring devices such as an accelerometer (not shown) and a magnetometer (not shown) are arranged in the intelligent ball 1, and the accelerometer and the magnetometer in the intelligent ball 1 can work normally.
Then, the detection starting point of the intelligent ball 1 is determined, an external magnetic field 3 is additionally arranged at a set position outside the water supply pipeline 2, and the distance between the external magnetic field 3 and the detection starting point is set to be L in the embodiment.
Then the control switch of the intelligent ball 1 is turned on and sealed, and meanwhile, a sponge ball is sleeved outside the intelligent ball 1 to prevent the intelligent ball 1 from being damaged due to collision with a pipeline.
The intelligent ball 1 flows along with water at the bottom of the water supply pipeline 2; collecting sound wave data of the water supply pipeline 2 by the intelligent ball 1, collecting acceleration data of the intelligent ball 1 in the rolling process of the water supply pipeline 2 by an accelerometer, collecting magnetic force data of the water supply pipeline 2 by a magnetometer, and storing the collected sound wave, acceleration and magnetic force data into an SD card (not shown) in the intelligent ball 1;
Finally, the intelligent ball 1 is taken out from the tail end of the detected water supply pipeline 2 by using a ball collecting net, and the sound wave, acceleration and magnetic force data in the SD card in the intelligent ball 1 are read and analyzed to mark the position of the leakage point in the water supply pipeline 2.
The magnetometer obtains a magnetic signal other than 0 without the influence of other magnetic fields due to the influence of the geomagnetic field. Therefore, to identify the influence of the external magnetic field 3 on the magnetometer, it is necessary to cancel the influence of the geomagnetic field.
Outside, the intelligent ball 1 is moved by 8-shaped movement or plane cross and the like, so that the maximum and minimum values of the triaxial components of the magnetometer are ensured.
And sending the magnetometer data to an upper computer through a serial port. And importing the stored magnetometer data into AntMag software to obtain a magnetic bias value. And calculating magnetic bias values of x, y and z axes to obtain a hard magnetic elimination value, and writing the hard magnetic elimination value into a magnetometer chip.
And re-reading the demagnetized magnetometer data (corrected by geomagnetic field magnetic force data), and observing whether the magnetometer vector sum at the same position after free rotation is stable near a fixed value or not through an upper computer.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the magnetometric data is basically stabilized near 340 by observing the movement and rotation of the sphere within a certain range by the upper computer software, so that it can be verified that: after the geomagnetic field influence in the environment is eliminated, the vector sum of the magnetometers approaches a fixed value in the absence of other magnetic field interference. At this time, the magnetic force data induced by the external magnetic field by the magnetometer is not affected by the geomagnetic field.
After demagnetizing the geomagnetic field offset, adding a magnetic field around the intelligent ball 1 to fix the position and direction of the intelligent ball; at this time, the intelligent ball 1 is moved, and the three-axis data vector sum change of the upper computer magnetometer is observed.
The magnet positions are opposite to each other according to the S poles, the magnet positions are rotated 90 degrees and 270 degrees clockwise, and the N poles are opposite to four angles for 4 groups of experiments. The intelligent ball 1 is far from the external magnetic field generating point by 4 meters and far from the external magnetic field generating point by 1 meter. The change of the vector sum of the upper computer magnetometer is recorded in real time.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the magnetic field intensity overall showed a stepwise jump change as the pellets were closer to the magnet, with jump changes at 3 meters, 2 meters, and 1 meter, as observed by the host computer software. The fluctuation at 3 meters is 10%, the fluctuation at 2 meters is 30%, and the amplitude at 1 meter is 2 times. In contrast to fig. 4 and 5, the absolute value of the change in the magnitude of the magnetic field strength remains substantially the same when the magnets are displaced in the north-south direction. So it can be presumed that the magnetic field intensity change value will show an exponential change in the course of gradually decreasing the distance between the pellet and the external magnetic field emission point. The data changes of 90 ° and 270 ° are similar to those of fig. 4 and 5, and thus are not described in detail.
From the above experiment, the closer the smart ball 1 is to the external magnetic field 3, the larger the magnitude of the magnetic force signal is. The change value of the magnetic field intensity and the distance show an exponential change, so that the distance between the intelligent ball 1 and the external magnetic field 3 can be determined through the property.
In the specific detection process, the intelligent ball 1 records sound wave signals in the moving process of the water supply pipeline 2, and the leakage point can be judged through the difference between the sound wave generated when the pipeline leaks and the sound wave generated when the normal pipeline operates.
Therefore, by analyzing the acoustic data, the relationship between the acoustic amplitude and time can be obtained, and as shown in fig. 6, the horizontal axis represents time, the vertical axis represents the acoustic change amplitude, and the acoustic signal at time t1 can be recognized as a leakage signal according to fig. 6, and at this time, the position of the pipe leakage can be determined by determining the position of the intelligent ball 1 corresponding to t1 in the pipe.
And an accelerometer is further loaded in the intelligent ball 1, and the advancing distance of the intelligent ball 1 in the pipeline is determined by recording the acceleration change of the intelligent ball 1 in the rolling process in the pipeline, so that the positioning of the pipeline leakage point is realized.
Specifically, during the detection process, the intelligent ball 1 rolls along the bottom of the water supply pipe 2, and the rolling process can be approximately performed around a certain fixed shaft. Thus, the gravitational acceleration changes recorded by the accelerometer will exhibit a more pronounced periodic change in one of the three axes of the accelerometer. One period obtained in the accelerometer data is the time of the intelligent ball 1 rolling one circle in the pipeline; the number of cycles is obtained, and the number of cycles of the intelligent ball 1 rolling in the pipeline can be known. The product of the number of turns and the maximum cross-section circumference of the sphere can be approximated as the distance the sphere advances along the pipe.
It is therefore known that in the case of a leak signal occurring at time t1, the calculation formula for obtaining the distance X1 of the leak point from the detection start point by the accelerometer is as follows:
X1=N1*C (1)
Where N1 is the number of cycles the smart ball 1 rolls in time t1 in the acceleration data, and C is the maximum cross-sectional perimeter of the measured smart ball 1.
In order to improve the positioning accuracy of the leakage point, the embodiment is additionally provided with an external magnetic field 3.
If the detected water supply pipe 2 is a ferromagnetic pipe, the external magnetic field 3 can magnetize the pipe due to the high permeability of the ferromagnetic pipe. If the material is continuously uniform, the magnetic induction lines are confined in the pipeline. At this time, if the water supply pipe 2 has a defect, a crack, or the like, a leakage magnetic field is formed, a schematic diagram of which is shown in fig. 7.
The magnetometer records magnetic force data as the smart ball 1 passes through the leak point as shown in fig. 8. From time t2 corresponding to the peak point of the magnetic force data in fig. 8, the time point at which the leakage magnetic field is detected is determined to be time t2, so that the calculation formula of the distance X2 of the leakage point from the detection start point can be obtained by the magnetometer as follows:
X2=N2*C (2)
Where N2 is the number of cycles the smart ball 1 rolls in time t2 in the acceleration data, and C is the maximum cross-sectional perimeter of the measured smart ball 1.
And then, correcting the X1 measured by the accelerometer and the X2 measured by the magnetometer to obtain the estimated position of the leakage point. According to the method, the leakage points determined by the detection method are ensured to be more accurate by combining the acceleration data with the magnetic force data.
If the water supply pipeline 2 is a nonferromagnetic pipeline, such as a PVC pipe, a stainless steel pipe and the like, the water supply pipeline is not influenced by a magnetic field, and when the external magnetic field 3 is added, the magnetometer in the intelligent ball 1 can record the magnetic force signal intensity of the external magnetic field 3. Therefore, the magnetic force data of the magnetometer is analyzed to obtain the relationship between the magnetic force signal and time, and the calculation formula of the distance X3 between the leakage point and the external magnetic field 3 is obtained as follows:
X3=(t1-t3)*V Flow rate (3)
wherein the time t3 is the time point corresponding to the maximum amplitude of the magnetic force signal, and V Flow rate is the water flow speed in the water supply pipeline 2.
The position of the leak point from the detection start point can be determined as L-X3 from the set position of the external magnetic field 3.
The detection method only needs to arrange the intelligent ball 1 and increase the external magnetic field 3. And an expensive receiving base station or high-precision azimuth angle reference equipment is not required to be assembled, the equipment is simple, and the cost is low. Meanwhile, the magnetic force signal caused by the external magnetic field 3 is not influenced by the buried pipeline, the magnetic force signal is received through the magnetometer in the intelligent ball 1, a sensor is not required to be fixed on the pipe wall, and convenience is brought to the leakage detection of the buried pipeline.
Meanwhile, the detection method can be suitable for pipelines of different types, and has extremely strong practicability:
For non-ferromagnetic pipelines which are long in age and lack design drawings, the positioning of the intelligent ball 1 in the pipeline can be completed. When the intelligent ball 1 moves in the pipe and approaches to the position of the external magnetic field 3, the amplitude of the magnetic force signal can generate larger fluctuation, and the distance between the intelligent ball 1 and the external magnetic field 3 can be estimated through fluctuation change, so that the position of the pipeline leakage point can be determined.
For a ferromagnetic pipeline, an external magnetic field 3 is added, the principle of a leakage magnetic field is utilized, the difference of magnetic force signals at the leakage points can be clearly obtained, the points with the difference of the magnetic force signals are the leakage points, and the leakage points determined by combining an acoustic wave method are comprehensively analyzed, so that the positioning error of the leakage points can be further reduced.

The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
