It is equipped with a water leakage pseudo signal generator that generates a water leakage sound in a pseudo manner, and two speaker circuits connected to this generator.One of the speaker circuits delays the water leakage pseudo signal and detects water leakage by delaying the water leakage pseudo signal. one or more delay circuits with a position (a special case where the delay is 0, which corresponds to the case where the leak position is in the center)
It consists of a switch circuit that switches the delay amount (water leak position) of this delay circuit, and a speaker device connected to this switch circuit, and the other speaker circuit outputs the water leak pseudo signal as it is as a sound without delaying it. It consists of a speaker device that outputs output.

23 and 24 are charge amplifiers connected to the water leakage detector 22, and 25 and 26 are acceleration pickups connected to the charge amplifiers 23 and 24. P is the water leak position in the water pipe 21, and acceleration pickups 25 and 26 are set at two points A and B on the pipe that sandwich this water leak position P to capture the water leak sound.
The difference in propagation time of water leak sound reaching both points A and B is measured by the cross-correlation method, and this is calculated using the distance L between the two points.
This principle is to calculate the distance to the water leakage position P from the propagation speed C of water leakage sound in the pipe. Here, pick up one acceleration 2 from the water leakage position P.
The distance l A to 5 points A is expressed by the following formula.
lA＝１／２（Ｌ−Tm×Ｃ）

により任意に変化せしめ得る。 Next, the water leakage simulator device according to the present invention will be described. Its basic configuration is as shown in FIG. 2. That is, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a water leakage pseudo signal generator, which generates a pseudo signal having a large amount of water leakage sound components. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are delay circuits, and N pieces of these are connected in series.
Each delay circuit is provided with an output terminal. now,
When a water leakage pseudo signal is output from the water leakage pseudo signal generator 1, this signal is divided into two systems, one of which reaches the speaker 7 via the low-pass filter 6, and the sound output from the speaker 7 causes the pseudo pipe line 8 to vibrate. On the other hand, the delay circuit 1-2 and the delay circuit 2-
3. The outputs of the delay circuits 3-4 are sequentially passed through, one of which is selected by the water leakage position changeover switch 9, and input to the low-pass filter 10, which passes through the speaker 11 to vibrate the pseudo conduit 12.
Here, both the pseudo conduits 8 and 12, which are mechanically vibrationally separated from each other, vibrate with a delay amount, that is, a time difference, determined by each delay circuit 2, 3, . . . 5. This time difference corresponds to the actual propagation time difference of water leak sound. Therefore, at this time, the acceleration pickups 25 and 26 are set in the pseudo pipes 8 and 12, and both detection signals are passed through the charge amplifiers 23 and 24 to the leakage detector 22.
, the position corresponding to the amount of delay will be displayed on the water leak detector 22 as the water leak position. Further, this delay amount, that is, the water leakage position, can be arbitrarily changed by operating the switch 9.
