Communication means of the present invention comprises two kinds of transmission modes, is stored in the storer of remote terminal, and one is that remote terminal is by signal sequential delivery one by one; Another kind is hop transmission, namely sends at least 1, interval remote terminal between the upper level remote terminal of signal and the next stage remote terminal of Received signal strength.When carrying out hop transmission, remote terminal can want the several remote terminal in interval according between the data determination upper level remote terminal in transmission mode information in digital signal and the next stage remote terminal of Received signal strength.
In communication process, if the remote terminal reception adjacent with next stage remote terminal has arrived the information that upper level remote terminal sends, and in setting-up time, do not receive the forwarding information of next stage remote terminal, the remote terminal adjacent with next stage remote terminal then will take over former next stage remote terminal, as new next stage remote terminal, signal is transmitted to the remote terminal of next stage again of its correspondence, proceeds the transmission of electric potential signal.
After one-level remote terminal sends signal by electric discharge, several remote terminals of the left and right sides be adjacent all can receive the signal that first order remote terminal sends, these remote terminals all receive the signal that first order remote terminal sends, and the source address of separating in read output signal, forwarding address, submarine pipeline status information, transmission mode information, control information and transmission direction information, the control treatment module of these remote terminals is all according to the communications protocol stored in these information received in signal and storer, transmission mode and positional information, calculate and confirm whether oneself is the next stage remote terminal carrying out signal forwarding.The transmission direction of signal can be determined in this way, each remote terminal concrete carrying out various transmission mode can also be determined, signal is effectively transmitted according to the mode of setting.
Submarine pipeline is utilized to carry out the communication system communicated, as shown in Figure 1, comprise along submarine pipeline several remote terminals spaced, described remote terminal comprises main frame, auxiliary electrode and sensor, main frame and auxiliary electrode, sensor is all connected by wire with submarine pipeline, main frame can to the medium discharge around submarine pipeline by auxiliary electrode, the submarine pipeline of correspondence position forms electric potential signal, main frame can detect the status information of electric potential signal on the submarine pipeline of correspondence position and submarine pipeline by sensor, the electric potential signal formed by electric discharge between remote terminal carries out communication.
Main frame is battery-powered, the filtration module, acquisition module, control treatment module and the signal amplification module that are connected successively is provided with in main frame, the storer in order to storing digital information is provided with in control treatment module, signal amplification module is connected with auxiliary electrode and submarine pipeline by wire, and filtration module is connected with sensor and submarine pipeline by wire.
Communication system is also provided with control terminal, and control terminal is also connected with submarine pipeline, can gather the electrical potential information on correspondence position submarine pipeline, makes itself and remote terminal carry out communication by electric potential signal.Control terminal is also provided with auxiliary electrode, can discharge to submarine pipeline, produces the current potential with control signal, carries out communication with remote terminal by current potential, sending controling instruction signal.
When communication system of the present invention and communication means specifically use, suppose the wherein part at submarine pipeline, order is laid with remote terminal A1, remote terminal A2, remote terminal A3, remote terminal A4, remote terminal A5, remote terminal A6, remote terminal A7, remote terminal A8, remote terminal A9 successively, and remote terminal A1 is the first order remote terminal starting to carry out signal transmission most.
When transmission mode adopts the mode of sequential delivery, in transmitting procedure, the auxiliary electrode of remote terminal A1 is to the medium discharge around submarine pipeline, formed and flow out to medium from auxiliary electrode, then submarine pipeline is entered, got back to the electric current of remote terminal A1 again by wire, make submarine pipeline forms current potential.
Remote terminal A1 controls auxiliary electrode and discharges according to setting rule, make the current potential that submarine pipeline is formed also in the fluctuation of setting rule, setting rule is the mode that frequency modulation, amplitude modulation or amplitude modulationfrequency modulation mix, and carrys out the numeral in representative digit information and form the numerical information be made up of these numerals by these modes.
With the current potential that the submarine pipeline of remote terminal A1 correspondence position is formed, submarine pipeline in certain length range all can detect, remote terminal A2 is connected with the submarine pipeline in this length range, this current potential detected by sensor, the numerical information of the setting rule comprised in current potential is parsed and stores.
The numerical information of storage is changed into setting rule by remote terminal A2, control its auxiliary electrode to discharge according to setting rule, submarine pipeline forms current potential, the current potential that remote terminal A2 electric discharge produces is detected again by remote terminal A3, then resolution digital information from current potential, numerical information is transmitted to again next remote terminal A4, until remote terminal reception is to the numerical information in electric potential signal and electric potential signal.
When transmission mode adopts the mode of hop transmission, if hop interval is 1 remote terminal, the electric potential signal that remote terminal A1 electric discharge produces, detected by the sensor of remote terminal A3, then after being resolved storage by remote terminal A3, be transmitted to remote terminal A5, remote terminal A7, remote terminal A9 successively, until remote terminal reception is to the numerical information in electric potential signal and electric potential signal.
In signals transmission, numerical information does not send by means of only electric discharge by each remote terminal, also can detect that other remote terminals carry out the current potential that when signal forwards, electric discharge produces, thus determine whether other remote terminals have carried out the forwarding of signal normally.
When transmission mode adopts the mode of sequential delivery, if remote terminal A3 receives the electric potential signal that remote terminal A1 electric discharge produces, in setting-up time, do not receive the electric potential signal that remote terminal A2 electric discharge produces simultaneously, then illustrate that remote terminal A2 is in abnormality, remote terminal A3 will replace remote terminal A2, by remote terminal A3, the information received from remote terminal A1 is transmitted to remote terminal A4, then proceeds signal transmission downwards by remote terminal A4.
When transmission mode adopts the mode of hop transmission, suppose that hop interval is 1 remote terminal, if remote terminal A2 or remote terminal A4 receives the electric potential signal that remote terminal A1 electric discharge produces, in setting-up time, do not receive the electric potential signal that remote terminal A3 electric discharge produces simultaneously, then illustrate that remote terminal A3 is in abnormality, remote terminal A2 will replace remote terminal A3, by remote terminal A2, the information received from remote terminal A1 is transmitted to remote terminal A4, be transmitted to A6 by remote terminal A4 again, proceed signal transmission.Remote terminal A3 also can be replaced by remote terminal A4, carries out signal forwarding downwards, and which replaces remote terminal A3 to carry out signal forwarding to remote terminal A2 and remote terminal A4 these two, is determined by the setting of remote terminal inside.
So just in transmitting procedure when some remote terminal exceptions, still can carry out the transmission of signal normally.
