Description

Method for inhibiting false echo and liquid level measuring system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid level measurement, and particularly relates to a method for inhibiting false echoes and a liquid level measurement system.
Background
When an ultrasonic liquid level meter is used for measurement in a drainage pipe network, the working principle of the ultrasonic liquid level meter is to send ultrasonic waves to liquid and calculate the reflection distance according to the time delay of echo waves. However, the reflected wave energy value fluctuates greatly due to various changes of the liquid level reflecting surface, the underground sewage environment is complex, and a plurality of obstacles are arranged on the well wall, so that real echoes are inevitably superposed with false reflected echoes of various obstacles in the well, the peak values of the ultrasonic echoes are uneven, the ultrasonic echoes are reflected as increased jitter of a liquid level measuring result, and therefore, the influence of the false echoes is restrained by using a corresponding method.
The method for inhibiting the false echo used in the current ultrasonic liquid level meter generally performs a pre-test on the whole sound propagation path in the working environment of equipment in advance, namely, the arrival time and energy of the reflected wave corresponding to all obstacles are obtained, so that the internal algorithm of the liquid level meter learns the false echo in the known obstacle environment, a new time change threshold curve (TVT curve) of background noise is formed, the confidence threshold is improved at the position with large interference, the false echo is automatically covered, and the effect of shielding and fixing the interference echo is achieved.
However, the method has obvious limitations, firstly, reflected wave information of the whole sound propagation path barrier under the current working environment must be obtained, but the requirement is difficult to meet under the actual environment, for example, when the liquid level of a sewage well is measured, the sewage well is difficult to dry so as to expose the whole underground environment for testing; secondly, the TVT curve obtained after each learning is only used for the environment, the universality is not realized, the learning needs to be carried out again after the working place is changed, and the labor cost is increased.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
In the following description, a plurality of embodiments of the present application are provided, and different embodiments may be replaced or combined, and thus the present application is also considered to include all possible combinations of the same and/or different embodiments described. Thus, if one embodiment includes features a, B, C and another embodiment includes features B, D, then this application should also be construed to include embodiments that include all other possible combinations of one or more of a, B, C, D, although such embodiments may not be explicitly recited in the following text.
The following description provides examples, and does not limit the scope, applicability, or examples set forth in the claims. Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements described without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Various examples may omit, substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate. For example, the described methods may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. Furthermore, features described with respect to some examples may be combined into other examples.
Before explaining specific embodiments of the present application in detail, an application scenario of the present application is described in order to facilitate better understanding of the embodiments of the present application.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional ultrasonic level gauge for processing false echoes, wherein two signal curves exist, an echo signal curve is positioned below, and an echo suppression threshold curve (TVT curve) for suppressing false echoes, namely an echo suppression threshold curve is positioned above.
As can be seen from the figure, the TVT curve has a complex configuration, and after the detection and simulation of the surrounding environment, the TVT curve is designed specifically to approximately match the trend of the false echo in the echo signal curve, so as to suppress the false echo, and only one peak of the real echo signal higher than the TVT curve is reserved, so as to calculate the level of the medium according to the time delay of the peak.
The TVT curve of the ultrasonic liquid level meter in the prior art needs to simulate the trend of false echo, a large amount of setting and presetting are needed before practical application, and the ultrasonic liquid level meter is inconvenient and complex to use.
The application provides a method for suppressing false echo, which specifically comprises the following steps:
s1, carrying out primary screening on echo signals to obtain a plurality of alternative echoes.
In some preferred embodiments of the present application, the preliminary screening of the echo signals in step S1 specifically includes the following steps:
s11, creating an echo suppression threshold curve, wherein the echo suppression threshold curve is created according to the attenuation theory of sound waves in air.
The sound intensity of the echo gradually decreases in an exponential manner as the propagation distance of the excitation signal and the echo thereof increases, and the law is that the initial sound intensityI 0 At a passing distancedAfter that, the absorption attenuation becomesIThe attenuation formula is shown as follows:
Figure 812863DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
wherein, in the step (A),I 0 in order to be the initial sound intensity,αis the air attenuation coefficient.
After the function of the attenuation of the echo sound intensity along with the distance is used as the echo suppression threshold curve, because the sound intensity of the real echo signal is certainly greater than the sound intensity after the attenuation of a certain distance, the echo with the sound intensity obviously lower than unreasonable intensity in the echo signal can be easily screened out according to the sound intensity of the real echo signal and the value of the echo suppression threshold curve at the received time point.
S12, acquiring an envelope curve of the echo signal, and converting the received echo signal into the envelope curve for subsequent analysis;
s13, calculating a maximum value of the envelope curve, and creating a relative threshold according to the maximum value;
specifically, step S13 takes the maximum value in the envelope curve, and sets a certain proportion of the maximum value as a relative threshold, and only the echo with the sound intensity greater than the relative threshold has a possibility of being a real echo.
S14, the echoes which are larger than the echo suppression threshold value curve and the relative threshold are reserved as alternative echoes, and only the echoes with the sound intensity simultaneously meeting the echo suppression threshold value curve and the relative threshold are saved as alternative objects for subsequent algorithm judgment.
And S2, performing step S2 by using the alternative echoes obtained in the step S1, and performing confidence score on each alternative echo respectively, wherein the confidence score consists of an echo energy score, an echo time sequence score and an echo width score.
Specifically, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, the method for calculating the echo energy score specifically includes:
acquiring the sound intensity and the echo time delay of an echo;
acquiring an echo suppression threshold corresponding to the echo time delay in an echo suppression threshold curve;
and calculating the score according to the ratio of the sound intensity of the echo to the echo suppression threshold value.
Since the echo intensity is smaller when the sound wave has longer propagation time, if the real energy value is directly used for scoring, it is possible that the propagation time is longer and the amplitude is seriously smaller when the real echo timing sequence is extremely late, and thus the score of the echo energy score is seriously smaller, which is not in accordance with the actual confidence. Therefore, in the embodiment, the relative energy value is used as the echo energy, and since the echo suppression threshold curve is changed according to the attenuation trend of the sound wave, the ratio of the echo energy at different time points to the corresponding echo suppression threshold can reflect the true confidence of the echo energy.
The specific formula can be:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
wherein Energy therein n For the true energy corresponding to the nth candidate echo, TVT n For the echo suppression threshold corresponding to that echo,RelativeEnergy n is the relative energy.
Meanwhile, in the preferred embodiment, the method for calculating the echo time sequence score specifically includes:
and calculating the score according to the sequence of the arrival of the echoes, wherein the score is gradually reduced backwards along with the time sequence. Since the earlier an echo arrives the higher the confidence that it is a true echo, the earlier the timing of the echo in the echo timing score the higher the score.
In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the method for calculating the echo width score specifically includes:
acquiring the width of an echo and the pulse width of an excitation signal;
the score is calculated from the ratio of the width of the echo to the pulse width of the excitation signal.
If the sound wave emitted by the ultrasonic probe passes through a large-area reflecting surface, the width of the echo of the sound wave should be close to the pulse width of the excitation signal; but since the echo will inevitably be affected by multipath effects, the latter half of the echo will be broadened in different ranges. In order to solve the influence of this situation on the echo determination, in this embodiment, the maximum value point of each echo to the initial position where the echo energy starts to be accumulated is used as the width of the echo, the pulse width of the excitation signal is simultaneously obtained, and then the echo width score is calculated by using the relative width, that is, the ratio of the width of the echo to the pulse width of the excitation signal.
Since echoes closer to the pulse width of the excitation signal are more likely to be true echoes, the calculation formula for the echo width score can be set as:
Figure 402107DEST_PATH_IMAGE003
wherein, width n For the width of the nth alternative echo, plusWidth is the pulse width of the ultrasonic level meter for transmitting the excitation signal, relative Width n The relative echo width represents the ratio of the width of the echo to the pulse width of the excitation signal, and the closer to 0, the higher the echo width score.
After the echo energy score, the echo time sequence score and the echo width score are respectively obtained through calculation by using the method, the three scores are combined to obtain a comprehensive confidence score for evaluating each echo as a real echo.
Specifically, the confidence score may be calculated as:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
wherein Scoren is the confidence score, timeScoren is the echo timing score, and REScoren is the echo energy score RWSORn is the echo pulse width score.
The following table gives an example of the calculation of confidence scores in one embodiment of the present application:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE006
and S3, selecting the alternative echo with the highest confidence score as a real echo, and judging the rest echoes as false echoes. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating that a real echo is obtained by performing the preliminary screening in step S1 and the confidence score screening in step S3 on a candidate echo according to an embodiment of the present application. In the above example of calculating the confidence score, since the confidence score of Echo No5 Echo is the highest, it is determined as a true Echo.
And finally, the real echo obtained by screening can be used for calculating the distance between the liquid level and the ultrasonic liquid level meter, and the distance H between the ultrasonic probe and the liquid level can be calculated by combining the time difference tau of receiving and transmitting the sound wave and the sound velocity c:
