Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bladeless fans, and in particular to an intelligent bladeless fan environment monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of wind power generation technology, bladeless wind turbines capture wind energy through an oscillating structure, eliminating the rotating components of traditional blades. This offers significant advantages in reducing noise, minimizing the risk of bird strikes, and improving adaptability to extreme wind conditions. The core monitoring targets have shifted from blades to the tower base structure, oscillation unit, and kinetic energy conversion system, requiring real-time detection of new failure modes such as tower base scouring, material corrosion, and structural deformation. As offshore wind power expands into the deep sea, monitoring systems face extreme environmental challenges such as high salt spray, severe corrosion, and large temperature differences. Furthermore, they must address systemic challenges such as power supply difficulties in remote areas, insufficient data real-time availability, and low fault diagnosis accuracy.

[0003] Current wind turbine environmental monitoring technology is mainly designed for traditional bladed wind turbines and has multi-dimensional defects: at the hardware level, sensors are easily affected by salt spray and humid and hot environments, resulting in data drift, and lack an effective self-calibration mechanism. High-precision equipment has long relied on imports, and maintenance requires high-altitude operations, which is costly; at the data processing level, massive monitoring data relies on central servers for processing, and transmission delays make millisecond-level safety responses impossible to achieve. The insufficient computing power of edge computing devices restricts real-time diagnostic capabilities, and the traditional threshold alarm has a misjudgment rate of more than 30% for compound faults; at the system integration level, existing solutions are difficult to cover new failure modes such as internal defects in blades and tower base erosion. The lack of predictive maintenance capabilities has resulted in more than 60% of sudden gearbox failures, the intelligent platform has weak remote control functions, and lacks mobile support capabilities; in addition, the industry standard system is not yet mature, the localization rate of equipment is low, and the cost of heterogeneous system integration remains high.

[0004] This invention uses a multi-source sensor array and self-correction algorithm to resist environmental interference, and an edge AI processor to achieve millisecond-level fault diagnosis. It combines wind power-battery dual power supply and wireless relay technology to build a low-cost, highly reliable integrated monitoring system, effectively solving the monitoring problems unique to bladeless wind turbines.

[0010] Preferably, the lightweight fault prediction model includes a spatiotemporal feature fusion mechanism, specifically including: A31: Time domain feature extraction layer: uses five sets of parallel 1D convolution kernels with kernel sizes of 1×3, 1×5, 1×7, 1×9, and 1×11, respectively, to extract vibration modes at different time scales. A32: Spatial feature association layer: Builds sensor node topology through graph neural network, and node weights are dynamically updated based on physical distance and signal correlation; A33: Fusion decision module: concatenates the time domain feature vector and the spatial domain correlation matrix to output the composite fault confidence.

[0011] Preferably, the dual-mode power supply module includes a deep sleep strategy: A41: When there are no alarm events for 10 consecutive minutes, the system enters sleep mode and the standby power consumption is less than 0.08W; A42: When the wind power supply voltage fluctuates by more than 15%, it automatically switches to lithium battery power supply and activates the overvoltage protection circuit.

[0012] As a preference, a dedicated submodule for monitoring tower base scour is also included, and the dedicated submodule for monitoring tower base scour specifically includes: A51: Pressure sensor array: arranged in a 5×5 matrix on the surface of the tower base, with a sampling frequency of 1kHz; A52: Corrosion current detection circuit: Polarization resistance is measured by a constant potential instrument with a resolution of 0.1μA / cm²; A53: Data fusion module: Mapping scour depth and corrosion rate into structural health index.

[0020] As described above, the present invention realizes all-round perception of the wind turbine environment and structural status by integrating a multi-source sensor network, and completes millisecond-level real-time diagnosis in combination with the embedded AI chip of the edge computing processing module. The dual-mode power supply system breaks through the energy bottleneck in remote areas to ensure continuous monitoring, and multi-channel wireless communication supports the return of complex terrain data. Finally, the intelligent monitoring module completes visual decision support, thereby building a bladeless wind turbine monitoring system with self-consistent hardware, intelligent analysis, and flexible deployment, which significantly improves the adaptability to extreme environments and operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0021] Preferably, the edge intelligent processing module has a built-in environmental compensation algorithm, which specifically corrects sensor drift through the following function: ; ; in, and is the calibration coefficient, T is the ambient temperature, RH is the relative humidity, and t is the operating time.

[0022] As described above, the original environmental compensation algorithm of the present invention dynamically corrects the temperature and humidity drift errors. Based on the operating time exponential decay factor and the temperature gradient linear compensation mechanism, the displacement monitoring accuracy maintains a stability of ±0.3mm in a wide temperature range of -40°C to 70°C, effectively overcoming the problem of sensor distortion caused by high-humidity salt fog environment and significantly reducing the frequency of calibration and maintenance.

[0023] Preferably, the system implements a millisecond-level three-level alarm mechanism: A11: Level 1 alarm: triggers the local relay control output, and the response delay is ≤50ms; A12: Level 2 alarm: An alarm message containing the fault location code and environmental parameters is sent to the preset terminal via encrypted SMS. A13: Level 3 alarm: Generates predictive maintenance work orders based on historical data and automatically assigns maintenance priority weights.

[0024] As described above, the three-level alarm mechanism constructed by the present invention realizes closed-loop management of fault response, completes local equipment linkage control within 50ms to block the spread of risks, accurately pushes fault location codes via encrypted text messages to accelerate on-site disposal, and automatically assigns priority weights to predictive maintenance work orders based on equipment health, forming a full-cycle operation and maintenance guarantee from immediate intervention to long-term optimization.

It implements complex analysis on the edge that can only be completed by traditional cloud servers, and improves the timeliness of compound fault identification by 20 times.

[0027] Preferably, the lightweight fault prediction model includes a spatiotemporal feature fusion mechanism. Specifically, the feature extraction layer and the decision layer are replaced by: A31: Time domain feature extraction layer: uses five sets of parallel 1D convolution kernels with kernel sizes of 1×3, 1×5, 1×7, 1×9, and 1×11, respectively, to extract vibration modes at different time scales.

Combined with the wind power-lithium battery intelligent switching mechanism and overvoltage protection circuit, the device can last for more than 18 months in scenarios without external power supply, reducing construction costs by 60% while avoiding data interruptions caused by power supply fluctuations.

This quantifies the risk level of offshore wind turbine tower base scour for the first time, and provides 400 hours of early warning.

The bit error rate ensures zero loss of key data such as scour monitoring, solving the problem of communication coverage in offshore wind farms.
