Design and Implementation of a Vibration Monitor Protecting the Cable from External Destruction

Abstract Underground cable is one of the main components of urban power supply systems. However, it is often damaged by large machinery in the process of urban road construction. To protect the underground cable, this paper proposes a novel design of a smart vibration device based on a complex embedded system, including the STM32 control chip, vibration sensors, NB-IoT communication module, and charging module. Through vibration signal detection of the excavator and other large-scale mechanical behavior, the vibration device can indicate the direction where the damage is occurring, and send out a warning message to the operation center. Finally, some experiments for vibration monitoring devices are conducted to verify their effectiveness and future application potential prospects.
