Abstract:
A vibration detection device (10) is provided with a vibration detection unit (110), a sensor-side leak determination unit (120), a first transmission unit (130), and a second transmission unit (140). The vibration detection unit (110) detects vibration transmitted through piping (30). The sensor-side leak determination unit (120) determines whether or not there is a possibility of a leak in the piping (30) based on a measurement result of the vibration detection unit (110). When the sensor-side leak determination unit (120) determines that there is a possibility of a leak, the first transmission unit (130) transmits provisional leak information to an information processing device (20). The provisional leak information indicates that there is a possibility of a leak in the piping (30). When waveform request information indicating a request for waveform data of the vibration is received from the information processing device (20), the second transmission unit (140) transmits waveform data measured by the vibration detection unit (110) to the information processing device (20).

The apparatus includes a vibration detector, a semiconductor switch, a controller and a power supply. The semiconductor switch and the controller are connected to the power supply. The vibration detector detects vibration and consequently generates a vibration voltage. The semiconductor switch includes a voltage divider for generating a bias voltage inside. The semiconductor switch detects a voltage produced by superposing the bias voltage onto the vibration voltage outputted from the vibration detector, and conducts current when the detected voltage is equal to or larger than a certain value. The controller wakes up with the current conducted by the semiconductor switch as a trigger signal.

Abstract:
Each functional configuring unit of a leak inspection device (2000) operates in the manner that follows. A vibration acquisition unit (2020) acquires a signal indicating tubing vibrations or vibrations propagated from tubing. A filtering unit (2040) extracts a signal of a predetermined frequency band from the signal acquired by the vibration acquisition unit (2020). A characteristic value extraction unit (2060) splits the signal extracted by the filtering unit (2040) into predetermined time intervals, calculates for each split signal the absolute value of each extreme value of the magnitude of the signal, performs for each split signal a statistical process with respect to the calculated plurality of absolute values, and considers values calculated by the statistical process to be characteristic values. A leak determination unit (2080) considers inspection results to indicate the presence of a leak when a determination index value stipulated using the characteristic values is greater than a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric vibration sensor includes a piezoelectric element which is in a form of flat plate, an element holding plate which is in a form of flat plate, and first and second support members. An electrode is arranged on at least one plane of the piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric element is joined to one plane of the piezoelectric element. The first support member and the second support member support the piezoelectric element and the element holding plate. A vibration film activates vibration of the element holding plate between the first support member and the second support member. Moreover, the element holding plate is joined to each of the first support member and the second support member through the vibration film. As a result, it is possible to obtain high sensitivity in a wide frequency range and to withstand an impact which is added from the outside.
