[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the core functional modules of the equipment maintenance management system of the present invention.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the operation process of the equipment maintenance management method of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The present invention is implemented by a maintenance system composed of the following modules: the system includes core functional modules such as equipment ledger module, equipment health assessment module, equipment risk assessment module, equipment operation data acquisition module, equipment health online diagnosis module, fault handling module, preventive maintenance plan arrangement module, maintenance execution module, etc. Figure 1 shown.

[0039] The equipment ledger module is used to query and manage equipment data, which may include but is not limited to data related to production, installation and commissioning, commissioning, previous operations, and previous maintenance and repairs.

[0040] The device health assessment module is used to assess the current health status of the device.

[0041] The equipment risk assessment module is used to evaluate the risk caused by equipment failure. The higher the probability of failure, the greater the risk.

[0042] The equipment operation data acquisition module receives and stores the real-time monitoring data of equipment operation.

[0043] The equipment health online diagnosis module uses the diagnosis model to perform online analysis and judgment on the health status of the equipment.

[0044] The equipment fault handling module is used to manage equipment faults and to schedule and dispatch faults to be handled.

[0045] The preventive maintenance planning module is used to generate a list of equipment for preventive maintenance.

[0046] The maintenance execution module is used to notify equipment maintenance personnel of work tasks, track the progress of maintenance work, and provide feedback on the completion of the work.

[0047] The data stored in this system include equipment basic data, equipment operation data, and previous repair and maintenance data.

[0048] This system can be used based on PC, browser, mobile APP or WeChat.

[0049] The operation process of this system is described as follows:

[0050] The equipment fault handling module, the health online diagnosis module, and the preventive maintenance plan scheduling module can all output plans for repairing and maintaining the equipment. The difference is that the maintenance plan output by the equipment fault handling module has the highest priority, the maintenance plan output by the health online diagnosis module has the second highest priority, and the maintenance plan output by the preventive maintenance plan scheduling module has the third highest priority.

[0051] There are N devices that need to be maintained. For the convenience of description and without loss of generality, the N devices are numbered from 1 to N, and the set of N devices is denoted by Φ. The risk value and rated maintenance duration of the i-th device are ai and ti respectively, where i ∈ {1, 2, …, N}.

[0052] Arrange the equipment maintenance plan in cycles. The cycle is M days, where M is any positive integer and can be set in the system.

[0053] Example 1:

[0054] The normal working hours of maintenance personnel within the current plan cycle is D. The system provides a setting function for this value, and it can also be imported from the human resources system or the scheduling system through an interface.

[0055] At the zero moment of the current plan cycle, determine the equipment to be maintained in the current period according to the following steps (as Figure 2 shown). Their numbers form the maintenance plan for this cycle:

[0056] S1. Obtain the equipment that needs to be repaired in the current maintenance cycle from the fault handling module. There are N1 such devices in total, forming a set Φ1, and the sum of their rated maintenance durations is D1.

[0057] If D1 ≥ D, then the equipment to be maintained in the current period is Φ1; if D1 < D, then execute S2.

[0058] S2. For the devices with an online Internet of Things connection established, the data during their operation is collected by the device operation data collection module. Based on the real-time data of the device operation, the device health online diagnosis module determines whether the device needs maintenance through a pre-established diagnosis model.

[0059] Outside the set Φ1, all the devices determined by the device health online diagnosis module to need maintenance in the current maintenance cycle form a set Φ2. The number of its elements is denoted as N2, and the sum of the rated maintenance durations of these N2 devices is D2.

[0060] If D1 + D2 ≥ D, then the equipment to be maintained in the current period is Φ1 ∪ Φ2; if D1 + D2 < D, then execute S3.

[0061] S3. Compile the maintenance plan for the device set

[0062] S3-1. For the devices in Φ3, update the device data at the zero moment of the current period. For each device, the updated data includes at least:

[0063] (1) Cumulative working hours. According to the actual situation, the equipment is counted in "hours", "days" or other time units (decimals can be retained);​

[0064] (2) The total time since the last maintenance of the equipment;

[0065] Optionally include:

[0066] (3) Data reflecting the load intensity during the use of the equipment;

[0067] (4) Load intensity during equipment use within the past time window;

[0068] (5) Environmental parameter values ​​that affect equipment performance, such as temperature, humidity, and the content of solid particles in the air, collected or recorded within the past time window.

[0069] S3-2. According to the equipment health evaluation model and the data of step S3-1, an evaluation value of the health of each equipment is obtained.

[0070] S3-3. According to the health assessment value and the importance of the equipment, the failure risk value of each equipment is obtained in the equipment risk assessment module.

[0071] S3-4, in the preventive maintenance plan arrangement module, the equipment to be maintained in this maintenance cycle is selected in Φ3, and the set is Θ, based on the principle of selecting the equipment set with the largest sum of risk values ​​and the sum of the rated maintenance time of the equipment in the set not exceeding D-D1-D2. At this point, the selection of all maintenance objects in this maintenance cycle is realized.

[0072] S4. Repair or maintain the equipment in the set Φ1∪Φ2∪Θ.

[0073] S5. Write the maintenance time, effect and other data required for equipment management into the equipment record module. For equipment that is repaired due to a fault, the data is fed back to the fault handling module at the same time.

[0074] Example 2:

[0075] There are K maintenance personnel in this planning period. Through the interface of the scheduling system, their working shift durations are obtained as D(k), k∈{1,2,…,K}.

[0076] For the first maintenance personnel (k=1), facing the entire equipment set Φ, based on the shift duration D(k)|k=1, use steps S1-S3 of Example 1 to obtain the set of equipment he is responsible for maintaining this period (denoted as Ψ1).

[0077] Then, for the second maintenance personnel (k=2), facing the equipment set Φ-Ψ1, based on the shift duration D(k)|k=2, the steps S1-S3 of Example 1 are used to obtain the set Ψ2 of equipment that he is responsible for maintaining during this period.

[0078] Next, for the third maintenance personnel (k=3), facing the equipment set Φ-Ψ1-Ψ2, based on the shift duration D(k)|k=3, the S1-S3 steps of Example 1 are used to obtain the set Ψ3 of equipment that he is responsible for maintaining during this period.

[0079] And so on, until the set ΨK of equipment that the Kth maintenance personnel is responsible for maintaining in this period is obtained. K maintenance personnel repair or maintain the equipment in the equipment set Ψk that they are responsible for. The personnel who repair or maintain, the time, the effect, and other data required for equipment management are all written into the equipment ledger module. For equipment that is repaired due to a fault, data is also fed back to the fault handling module.
