[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the infrared lens receives the infrared radiation emitted by the object to be monitored, focuses and transmits the infrared radiation to the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor adopts a high-resolution infrared sensor to capture the temperature data on the surface of the object to be monitored in real time and generate a clear surface thermal map. The surface temperature acquisition unit can quickly respond to surface temperature changes and is suitable for real-time monitoring of scenarios with high temperature differences or sudden temperature fluctuations. For example, when the surface temperature of mechanical equipment rises rapidly, this unit can capture the thermal change and generate an alarm.

[0017] Optionally, the deep temperature detection unit includes a laser pulse generator, a high-sensitivity thermocouple, and a signal amplification and filtering circuit. The laser pulse generator is used to thermally excite the object to be monitored, the high-sensitivity thermocouple is used to detect the temperature change of the object to be monitored after thermal excitation, and is communicatively connected to the signal input end of the signal amplification and filtering circuit.

The multi-layer temperature separation algorithm performs hierarchical separation processing on the surface, deep, and transient temperature data to extract temperature characteristics at different depths and times. The multi-layer temperature separation algorithm can effectively extract and separate the temperature data of each layer to ensure that the temperature information of each layer is not confused. For example, for the surface temperature change caused by a deep fault, the algorithm can separate it to avoid misjudgment. Based on the heat diffusion data of the deep temperature detection unit, the thermal diffusion coefficient is calculated to analyze the transmission rate of temperature in the monitored object. The thermal diffusion coefficient can help judge the diffusion trend and speed of temperature. For example, when the thermal diffusion coefficient increases sharply within a certain range, it may mean deep temperature anomalies or material problems. This function is particularly suitable for monitoring the internal temperature changes of power equipment and industrial machinery. The surface, deep, and transient temperature data are intelligently synthesized to generate a comprehensive temperature map that combines different temperature information. The energy data synthesis unit effectively fuses the multi-layer temperature data, so that the finally generated comprehensive temperature map contains both surface details and deep temperature change information, which is suitable for high-precision monitoring in complex environments.

The fault mode library of this unit can be learned and updated through historical data to further improve the accuracy and generalization ability of recognition.

[0030] According to the recognized fault mode and characteristics, the early warning trigger unit sets multi-level early warning levels, including prompt, warning, and emergency alarm.

[0031] When the early warning trigger unit recognizes potential fault characteristics, it triggers alarm signals of corresponding levels and can be connected to a remote monitoring system or a smartphone APP to realize real-time push of fault information, ensuring that users can take corresponding measures in time.
