DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PARTICULAR EMBODIMENTS

[0033] The present disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, an artificial intelligence detection system for deep-buried fuel gas pipeline leakage includes: a multi-field source information collecting system, a data processing and analyzing system, and a monitoring and warning system. The multi-field source information collecting system includes three collection subsystems, a concentration field collecting subsystem, a temperature field collecting subsystem and a geoelectric field collecting subsystem.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, the concentration field collecting subsystem is mainly based on a laser methane testing instrument, which is sensitive to methane gas. Mainly a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy technique is used. The concentration field collecting subsystem may include: 1power source system: 1-1 charging unit, 1-2 power supply unit; 2detection system: 2-1 laser light source module, 2-2 electronic module (i.e., light source driving module for driving the light source to operate), 2-3 laser emitting system, 2-4 laser receiving system; 3signal processing system: 3-1 signal separation module, 3-2 signal processing module. Specifically, the charging unit 1-1 is connected to an external power grid and supplies power to the power supply unit 1-2; the power supply unit 1-2 supplies power to the electronic module 2-2; the electronic module 2-2 drives the light source module 2-1 for laser light emission; the laser emitting system 2-3 emits laser light to a fuel gas pipeline region; the fuel gas pipeline region returns laser light and the laser receiving system 2-4 receives the returned laser light; the laser receiving system 2-4 generates a signal and the signal is transmitted to the signal processing system 3; the signal separation module 3-1 of the signal processing system 3 separates off noise; finally, the signal processing module 3-2 processes and obtains concentration field data.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3, the temperature field collecting subsystem is an optical fiber distributed temperature measurement system, which mainly includes: 4optical fiber distributed temperature testing instrument, 5distributed temperature measurement optical fiber, and 6automatic lifting guide rod. The optical fiber distributed temperature testing instrument is responsible for exciting a light source signal, which enters the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber 5 via a modulator-demodulator; the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber 5 is spirally wound on the outside of the automatic lifting guide rod 6; the automatic lifting guide rod 6 transmits the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber to the fuel gas pipeline region, which is a detection target region; the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber 5 senses the temperature of the target region, which causes its internal light source signal to change; the changed light signal is backscattered and enters the host of the optical fiber distributed temperature testing instrument 4; the host calculates and obtains temperature field data of the detection target region.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 4, the geoelectric field collecting subsystem is an electrical resistivity testing system based on a high-density electrical method instrument, which mainly includes: 7multi-channel collection host, 8communication cable, and 9multi-channel collection sensing unit. Specifically, the multi-channel collection host generally includes eight channels, and is made up of a digital resistivity meter 7-2 and an integrated programmable electrode switcher 7-1; the collection sensing unit 9 is made up of sixty-four electrode sensing units, and the sixty-four electrode sensing units are arranged at equal intervals in a circle, where the circle has a radius determined according to the range of the exploration target region, ranging from 0.5 m to 3 m. The digital resistivity meter 7-2 supplies power to the electrode sensing units; the electrode sensing units collect electrical signals and transmit to the digital resistivity meter 7-2 via the communication cable 8; the digital resistivity meter 7-2 obtains electrical resistivity data, which is used as geoelectric field data.

[0038] The digital resistivity meter 7-2 is integrated with the programmable electrode switcher 7-1 in order to switch between electrode power supply modes. That is, the testing system includes multiple electrodes, with 1-2 electrode sensing units being power supply electrodes, and the rest being measuring electrodes; each of the electrodes can be switched freely between power supply/measuring modes, and internal switching can be realized by the programmable electrode switcher 7-1.

[0039] The system uses the laser methane testing instrument, optical fiber distributed temperature testing instrument and high-density electrical method instrument to test the concentration field, temperature field and geoelectric field respectively.

[0040] For concentration field testing: the laser methane testing instrument emits laser light; the laser light passes through a methane target when a natural gas leak occurs and is absorbed by the methane gas; laser light after absorption is reflected by objects and returned to the testing instrument; an internal component of the instrument calculates the concentration of methane in the target region.

[0041] For temperature field testing: the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber combines sensing and transmission functions, i.e., it is both a sensor and a signal transmitter. According to detection needs, collection parameters are configured at the optical fiber distributed temperature testing instrument, to achieve testing effect. For subsequent dynamic analysis and comparison charting in relation to temperature, a set of initial background values are collected as a reference. Due to the large differences between temperatures in the morning, at noon and in the afternoon of the day in different seasons, in order to ensure the validity of the collected temperature data, multiple sets of temperature field background values are collected as the reference, including: a set of background values collected in the morning, at noon and in the afternoon for each of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

[0042] For geoelectric field data collection: the conventional electrical resistivity testing system is changed, where the electrodes are no longer arranged in a conventional linear manner, instead, the electrodes are arranged in a circle, with a detection system radius determined according to actual needs. When the detection system has been positioned above the target region, collection parameters (power supply voltage, power supply mode, power supply time, sampling frequency, etc.) are set according to actual needs; then the system is powered on and detection is performed, to obtain resistivity values in different ranges.

[0043] In addition, a built-in GPS positioning and navigation system is included, which can track the inspection paths of inspectors in real time and accurately locate the detection points.

[0044] In the present disclosure, the concentration field testing instrument is a laser methane testing instrument, which can directly acquire the concentration value of the fuel gas in the measured region. The emitted laser light passes through the gas to be tested, and laser light after absorption is reflected by objects and returned to the testing instrument; the concentration value of the fuel gas in the target region can be calculated by an internal component of the testing instrument, which is recorded as P.sub.detect.

[0045] In the present disclosure, the data collected by the temperature field testing instrument is Brillouin frequency shift, and Brillouin frequency shift is positively correlated with temperature. The temperature value can be obtained according to Equation (1):

v.sub.B(T)=C.sub.T.Math.(TT.sub.0)(1)

[0046] where v.sub.B denotes the Brillouin spectrum; C.sub.T denotes the ratio of Brillouin frequency shift to temperature, i.e., the temperature coefficient; T denotes the measured temperature, and T.sub.0 is an initial temperature value, i.e., the background value.

[0047] Generally, temperature calibration of the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber is performed in advance, to obtain C.sub.T. The temperature calibration method includes: immersing a length of the optical fiber in a constant temperature water bath; increasing the temperature from an initial 10 C., to 100 C. at 10 C. intervals, to obtain a Brillouin frequency shift value at each temperature. Each testing lasts 20 minutes and includes three measurements, the average of which is used as the final value. Finally, a temperature calibration curve can be obtained and C.sub.T can be obtained by a linear fitting of the temperature calibration curve.

[0048] Data conversion and analysis. Analysis software provided along with the instrument can be used to convert a source file in (.sat) format into (.xls) format and remove abnormal data. Then, the temperature value T can be obtained by using Equation (1) based on C.sub.T. Finally, Origin can be used to perform corresponding processing on the temperature data and draw a temperature curve trend.

[0049] Temperature variations at respective points along the optical fiber can be determined according to Equation (1). When a temperature abnormality occurs at a point in an upper region of the deep-buried pipeline, the distributed temperature measurement optical fiber can detect the temperature abnormality zone.

[0050] In the present disclosure, the geoelectric field testing instrument can directly acquire electrical current values in the target region, and required parameters can be calculated according to the following process, including: (1) importing raw data collected by the instrument into WBD conversion and analysis software, inputting electrode coordinates, calculating corresponding apparent resistivities, removing abnormal apparent resistivity values in the entire section, and finally exporting apparent resistivity data of the corresponding device; (2) opening apparent resistivity data in (.dat) format with Surfer mapping software, performing basic processing such as gridding the data according to the nearest neighbor method, resizing the grid file and filtering out abnormal data, selecting a filter according to actual needs to filter and blank the data, and obtaining an apparent resistivity map of the corresponding device.

[0051] Apparent resistivity values at respective points in the target region are collected on site. In order to obtain a map reflecting true resistivity distribution in the testing region, inferring is performed based on the measured data; the inferring can be done using AGI software. The basic process of the data processing mainly involves three major functional modules: a preprocessing module, a data inferring processing module, and a data result mapping processing module. Finally, a true resistivity value .sub.detect in the target range is obtained.

[0052] The data processing and analyzing system of the present disclosure evaluates abnormal variations in the multi-field data of the deep-buried fuel gas pipeline region: based on multi-field data variation characteristics from fuel gas concentration field, temperature field and geoelectric field in the detection target region, it analyzes and determines the contents of natural gas in an upper part of the fuel gas pipeline. The data collected by the three types of equipment units is transmitted to the data processing and analyzing system via 4G network transmission. The data processing and analyzing system, based on relevant information such as the gas concentration, temperature and resistivity, and based on thresholds from previous experience, determines an abnormality zone when measured multi-field data changes significantly in comparison with the background value and exceeds the threshold, and sends a warning signal to the monitoring and warning system. The data processing and analyzing system may also quantitatively evaluate the possibility of fuel gas pipeline leakage according to the magnitude of the change of the abnormal value.

[0053] Specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and shall not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Any modification or change made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present disclosure without departing from the idea of the invention shall fall within the scope of the invention.
