Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of low-temperature calibration, in particular to a low-temperature temperature metrological value traceability method based on LSTM and a multi-mode calibration system. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, there is a lack of suitable low-temperature temperature field standard device for the calibration of ultra-low-temperature thermometers in the field of biological medicine, such as -86℃ refrigerator monitoring and biological sample storage thermometers. The existing domestic systems are mainly used for liquid helium temperature zone -269℃, and cannot cover the continuous calibration requirements of the wide temperature range from -196℃ to -80℃. Foreign equipment such as the British Eutronics 459 low-temperature thermostat can be adjusted in temperature, but the price is as high as 300,000 yuan per unit, and the temperature range only covers -180℃ to -80℃, which cannot meet the calibration requirements of the low-temperature range from -196℃ to -180℃.
[0003] In the prior art, domestic low-temperature thermometer calibration systems are mostly used for liquid helium temperature zone, and have the problems of complex device structure, high operation cost, and non-adjustable temperature. For example, the (-180~-80)℃ ultra-low-temperature adjustable thermostat developed by Chengdu Measurement and Detection Research Institute is only suitable for long-stem low-temperature thermometers, and cannot meet the calibration requirements of short low-temperature thermometers. The ultra-low-temperature thermometer calibration device developed by Shanghai Measurement Institute is only suitable for short ultra-low-temperature thermometers, and has poor technical indicators, with a constant temperature block uniformity of only better than ±20mK and a temperature control stability of ≤50mK / h. Foreign low-temperature thermostat equipment such as British Eutronics and European Cambi is expensive, and the design is mostly suitable for long-stem low-temperature thermometer calibration, with poor applicability to short low-temperature thermometers. In addition, some of the existing technologies require a refrigeration machine and large equipment, which are complex to install and use, have high operation and maintenance costs, have a narrow temperature range, and cannot meet the calibration requirements of the wide temperature range from -196℃ to -80℃. At the same time, there is a lack of related calibration specifications as technical guidance, making it difficult to realize accurate value traceability of ultra-low-temperature thermometers.
[0004] Limitations of long-stem thermometers: The (-180~-80)℃ thermostat described in the patent A kind of continuously adjustable low-temperature thermostat (Patent No. ZL202223263681X) is only suitable for long-stem thermometers with an insertion depth of >400mm, and cannot be compatible with short probes such as biological sample library microsensors with a length of ≤300mm.
[0005] Limitations of short thermometers: The calibration system based on GM refrigeration machine only supports short thermometers, and the constant temperature block has a small size (insertion depth ≤200mm), which cannot accommodate long-stem thermometers, and has poor technical indicators (uniformity ≤±20mK, temperature control stability ≤50mK / h).
[0006] The traditional system relies on a refrigerator + vacuum device such as a GM refrigerator system developed by Shanghai Jiaotong University, which needs complex operations such as vacuumizing and cold screen installation, and the single calibration takes more than 2 hours and the cost is more than 3 times the hardware cost.
[0007] The existing value traceability method has the following problems: there is no unified calibration specification for the temperature range of (-196 to -80) DEG C, the existing technology mainly refers to the liquid helium temperature range (-269 DEG C) or the normal temperature calibration method, and the latent heat of phase change of liquid nitrogen, the change of low-temperature heat conduction characteristics and other factors are not considered, so that the calibration result is unreliable.
[0008] The existing calibration does not consider the influence of mechanical deformation and contact thermal resistance on temperature measurement when the thermometer is inserted. For example, different insertion depths of long rod thermometers can cause an axial temperature field deviation of up to 50mK, and the contact thermal resistance between the short probe and the heat block can cause an error of ±20mK. SUMMARY
[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the application designs a low-temperature thermometer value traceability method based on LSTM and a multi-mode calibration system.
[0010] The application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0011] The low-temperature thermometer value traceability method based on LSTM adopts a multi-mode calibration system, which includes the following steps:
[0012] (1) Supply stable cold source: inject liquid nitrogen into the Dewar flask, and heat the heat block to -196 DEG C through heat conduction;
[0013] (2) Cooperatively control the temperature rise through the LSTM model and the segmented PID: start the heating wire according to the multi-segment PID program to rise to the target temperature (such as -80 DEG C), and the radiation shield is heated synchronously to maintain thermal balance;
[0014] (3) Calibrate the temperature meter to be calibrated: when the temperature field is stable (fluctuation≤10mK / 10min), insert the temperature meter to be calibrated and the standard platinum resistance for calibration;
[0015] The calibration process in step (3) includes:
[0016] (3-1) Synchronous data acquisition of the temperature meter to be calibrated and the standard platinum resistance;
[0017] (3-2) Data preprocessing;
[0018] (3-3) Based on the LSTM model, integrate the temperature and pressure multi-modal data fusion algorithm to perform calibration data correction, indication error calculation, correction and evaluation.
[0019] Further, before the operation of step (1), the multi-mode calibration system performs multi-mode switching operation, which includes the following steps:
[0020] Close the heating system, and wait for the temperature of the heat block to rise above -100℃.
[0021] Remove the flange plate, replace the long rod / short module, and reseal before injecting liquid nitrogen for pre-cooling.
[0022] Start the controller and adjust the temperature field according to the corresponding module's PID parameters.
[0023] Further, in step (1), the liquid nitrogen level is maintained at ≥1.5 times the height of the heat block, ensuring stable supply of -196℃ cold source. Regarding the control of the liquid nitrogen level:
[0024] When a single calibration temperature point is set, a fixed threshold is used to control the liquid level: when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level is <1.5 times the height of the heat block, the controller will give an electrical signal to open the electromagnetic valve to start the vacuum pump for liquid replenishment. Liquid nitrogen is injected at a rate of 2L / min until the liquid level ≥2 times the height of the heat block, and the liquid replenishment is automatically turned off.
[0025] When multiple temperature calibration points are set and the system automatically adjusts the temperature, the liquid replenishment operation is combined with the LSTM model to predict the temperature change of the heat block. When the predicted temperature >-150℃ and the liquid level <threshold, the electromagnetic valve is opened in advance to replenish nitrogen. The amount of liquid replenishment is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature prediction value of the LSTM model to avoid excessive liquid replenishment causing temperature field fluctuations. In the extremely low temperature zone, maintain a high start threshold of 1.5 times to ensure sufficient liquid nitrogen cold reserve. In the medium and low temperature zone, reduce the start threshold to 1.2 times to reduce unnecessary liquid nitrogen consumption. At the same time, according to the predicted warming rate of the LSTM model, adjust the liquid replenishment rate from 2L / min to 1.5L / min to avoid temperature field overshoot.
[0026] Further, during the liquid replenishment process, the system uses a dual control strategy of liquid level and temperature to ensure the stability of the cold source. When the heat block temperature fluctuates >20mK during the liquid replenishment process, the controller automatically pauses the liquid replenishment, and continues the liquid replenishment after the temperature stabilizes to prevent the temperature field from dropping sharply due to liquid nitrogen injection.
[0027] Further, in step (2), the LSTM model is combined with a segmented PID program. The segmented PID program automatically switches between 3 sets of PID parameters based on the differences in thermodynamic characteristics between -196℃ and -80℃ temperature zones.
[0028] When the constant temperature section temperature is -196~-150℃, K p =1.8, K i =0.08, K d =1.2, warming rate 5℃ / min, overshoot ≤0.5℃.
[0029] PID program is segmented, when the temperature of constant temperature section is -150~ -100℃, the parameters are set: K p = 1.2, K i = 0.05, K d = 0.8;
[0030] When the temperature of constant temperature section is -100~ -80℃, the parameters are set: K p = 0.8, K i = 0.03, K d = 0.5, and the temperature fluctuation is maintained ≤10mK / 10min.
[0031] Further, the sampling frequency of the temperature gauge to be calibrated in the step (3-1) is 1Hz, and the stable section is collected for 10min, and a total of 600 data points are collected, the digital temperature gauge directly collects the temperature value, and the non-digital recording output signal voltage or resistance is converted into the temperature value.
[0032] Further, in the step (3-2):
[0033] First, the temperature field stability is screened, the data of which the temperature field fluctuation exceeds 10mK / 10min period is removed, and the continuous 10min stable data is retained;
[0034] Then, the noise is removed, a 5th order Butterworth low-pass filter is applied, and the cut-off frequency is 0.1Hz, and the high-frequency noise caused by the boiling of liquid nitrogen is eliminated;
[0035] Then, the data alignment is performed, and the standard device and the temperature gauge to be calibrated are aligned based on the time stamp.
[0036] Further, the temperature data is removed by the 5th order Butterworth low-pass filter, the pressure data is standardized to the interval [-1, 1], and the formula is:
[0037]
[0038] Wherein, x is the original measurement value of the pressure, and the pressure unit is MPa; x min is the minimum value of the feature in the training data, and the pressure unit is MPa; x max is the maximum value of the feature in the training data, and the pressure unit is MPa.
[0039] Further, in the step (3-3), after the temperature and pressure data are preprocessed by the 24-bit ADC with a frequency of 10Hz, every 10 seconds is aggregated into a group of feature vectors, and a time window containing 100 groups of data is formed;
[0040] The collected 100 groups of historical feature vectors are input into the LSTM model to predict the temperature in the next 30 seconds, and the deviation between the predicted value and the current value is calculated.
[0041] If the prediction deviation is greater than 5mK, the PID parameters are adjusted 10 seconds in advance. When the temperature is predicted to rise, the Kp value is reduced to suppress overshoot. When the temperature is predicted to drop, the Ki value is increased to speed up the response.
[0042] Further, the LSTM model uses an attention mechanism to calculate the attention weight of each time step hidden state, dynamically focusing on key features, temperature mutation points or pressure abnormal fluctuation points, so that the model pays more attention to data segments that have a greater impact on temperature field prediction, and improves the prediction accuracy of the LSTM model for ultra-low temperature temperature field changes
[0043] The attention mechanism formula is:
[0044]
[0045] Where h is the LSTM hidden state, h i is the hidden state of the i-th time step (i = 1, 2, 3 … n), and assuming that the LSTM has 128 neural units per layer, then h and h i have a dimension of 128*1 (column vector); W, w are weight matrices, W is used to map the hidden state h to the attention score space; w is the attention weight vector, which is used to calculate the final attention score; b is the bias.
[0046] Further, in the calculation of the indicated value error, the standardizer temperature value is converted, and according to the resistance value R s of the standard platinum resistance, the actual temperature T s is calculated by the ITS-90 temperature scale formula,
[0047] ΔT i = T x -T s -ΔT grad
[0048] ΔT i is the indicated value error of the calibrated thermometer at this temperature point; ΔT grad is the axial temperature gradient correction value;
[0049] When the calibrated thermometer is inserted into the short rod module, the axial temperature gradient correction value ΔT grad = -0.002℃;
[0050] When the calibrated thermometer is inserted into the long rod module, the axial temperature gradient correction value ΔT grad = +0.003℃.

[0073] Embodiment 1
[0074] As shown in the figure, the low-temperature temperature measurement value traceability method based on LSTM adopts a multi-mode calibration system, including the following steps: Figure 3
[0075] (1) Supply a stable cold source: inject liquid nitrogen into the dewar flask, and the heat block is cooled to-196℃ through heat conduction;
[0076] (2) Cooperatively control the temperature rise through the LSTM model and the segmented PID: the controller starts the heating wire, and raises the temperature to the target temperature (such as-80℃) according to the multi-segment PID program, and the radiation shield is synchronously heated to maintain thermal equilibrium;
[0077] (3) Calibrate the temperature meter to be calibrated: when the temperature field is stable (fluctuation≤10mK / 10min), insert the temperature meter to be calibrated and the standard platinum resistance for calibration;
[0078] The calibration process in step (3) includes:
[0079] (3-1) Synchronous data acquisition of the temperature meter to be calibrated and the standard platinum resistance;
[0080] (3-2) Data preprocessing;
[0081] (3-3) Based on the LSTM model, integrate the temperature and pressure multi-modal data fusion algorithm, and perform calibration data correction processing, indication error calculation, correction and evaluation.
[0082] Before the operation of step (1), the multi-mode calibration system performs multi-mode switching operation, including the following steps:
[0083] Turn off the heating system, and wait for the heat block temperature to rise to above-100℃;
[0084] Dismount the flange plate, replace the long rod / short type module, and reseal and inject liquid nitrogen for precooling;
[0085] The starting controller adjusts the temperature field according to the PID parameters of the corresponding module.
[0086] In step (1), the liquid level of liquid nitrogen is maintained at 1.5 times the height of the heating block to ensure stable supply of the-196℃ cold source. The control of the liquid level is as follows:
[0087] When a single calibration temperature point is set, a fixed threshold is used to control the liquid level. When the liquid level detected by the liquid level sensor is less than 1.5 times the height of the heating block, the liquid level threshold is 450mm for a short heating block with a height of 300mm. The controller will give an electrical signal to open the electromagnetic valve to start the vacuum pump for liquid supplement. Liquid nitrogen is injected at a rate of 2L / min until the liquid level is greater than or equal to 2 times the height of the heating block, which is 600mm in this example. The liquid supplement is automatically turned off.
[0088] When multiple temperature calibration points are set and the system needs to automatically adjust the temperature, the liquid supplement operation is also combined with the LSTM model to predict the temperature change of the heating block. When the predicted temperature is greater than-150℃ and the liquid level is less than the threshold, the electromagnetic valve is opened in advance to supplement liquid nitrogen. The amount of liquid supplement is dynamically adjusted according to the temperature prediction value (e.g., 5L for a predicted temperature rise rate of 1℃ / min and 3L for a temperature rise rate of 0.5℃ / min), avoiding excessive liquid supplement that causes temperature field fluctuations. In the extremely low temperature zone (e.g.,-196℃ to-150℃), a high starting threshold of 1.5 times is maintained to ensure sufficient liquid nitrogen cold storage. In the medium and low temperature zone (e.g.,-150℃ to-80℃), the starting threshold is reduced to 1.2 times to reduce unnecessary liquid nitrogen consumption. That is, when the temperature of the heating block rises from-196℃ to-100℃, the starting threshold is dynamically reduced from 450mm (300mm x 1.5) to 360mm (300mm x 1.2), and the stop threshold remains at 600mm (300mm x 2). The starting threshold is reduced, the stop threshold remains unchanged, the liquid supplement interval is reduced, and the liquid supplement frequency is reduced. At the same time, the LSTM predicts the temperature rise rate, and the liquid supplement rate is adjusted from 2L / min to 1.5L / min to avoid temperature field overshoot.
[0089] During the liquid supplement process, the system uses a dual control strategy of liquid level and temperature to ensure the stability of the cold source. When the temperature of the heating block fluctuates more than 20mK during the liquid supplement process, the controller automatically pauses the liquid supplement, and continues after the temperature stabilizes to prevent sudden temperature drop caused by liquid nitrogen injection.
[0090] Further, in step (2), the LSTM model is used in combination with a segmented PID program. The segmented PID program automatically switches between three groups of PID parameters based on the differences in thermodynamic characteristics in the-196℃ to-80℃ temperature zone.
[0091] When the temperature of the constant temperature section is-196℃ to-150℃, K p = 1.8, K i = 0.08, and K d= 1.2, heating rate 5℃ / min, overshoot≤0.5℃;
[0092] Segmented PID program, when the temperature of the constant temperature section is-150-100℃, set the parameters: K p = 1.2, K i = 0.05, K d = 0.8.
[0093] When the temperature of the constant temperature section is-100-80℃, set the parameters: K p = 0.8, K i = 0.03, K d = 0.5, maintain temperature fluctuation≤10mK / 10min.
[0094] Table 1: Temperature intelligent adjustment table
[0095] Temperature zone range K p ]]> K i ]]> K d ]]> Dead zone (mK) Ramp rate (°C / min) -196℃~-150℃ 1.8 0.08 / min 1.2 10 5 -150℃~-100℃ 1.2 0.05 / min 0.8 10 5 -100℃~-80℃ 0.8 0.03 / min 0.5 20 3
[0096] In step (3-1), the platinum and the temperature gauge are synchronously collected data, the sampling frequency is 1Hz (default, can be set), the stable section is continuously collected for 10min, a total of 600 data points, the digital temperature gauge directly collects the temperature value, and the non-digital type records the output signal voltage or resistance and converts it into the temperature value.
[0097] In the step (3-2), first, the temperature field stability screening is performed, the data of the temperature field fluctuation exceeding 10mK / 10min period is removed, and the continuous 10min steady-state data is retained;
[0098] Then, the noise is removed, a 5th order Butterworth low-pass filter is applied, the cutoff frequency is 0.1Hz, and the high-frequency noise caused by the boiling of liquid nitrogen is eliminated;
[0099] After that, the data alignment is performed, and the standard device and the calibrated temperature gauge data are synchronously aligned based on the time stamp.
[0100] The temperature data is removed by the 5th order Butterworth low-pass filter, the pressure data is standardized to the interval [-1, 1], and the formula is adopted:
[0101]
[0102] Wherein, x is the original measured value of the pressure, the pressure unit is MPa; x min is the minimum value of the feature in the training data, the pressure unit is MPa; x max is the maximum value of the feature in the training data, the pressure unit is MPa.
[0103] If the original measured value of the pressure is 7.5MPa, the measurement range is 0-10MPa, then x norm = 0.5.
[0104] In step (3-3), the temperature and pressure data collected by the 24-bit ADC at a frequency of 10 Hz are preprocessed, and every 10 seconds are aggregated into a feature vector to form a time window containing 100 groups of data;
[0105] The 100 groups of historical feature vectors collected are input into the LSTM model to predict the temperature in the next 30 seconds, and the deviation between the predicted value and the current value is calculated;
[0106] If the predicted deviation is greater than 5 mK, adjust the PID parameters 10 seconds in advance, reduce the Kp value when predicting warming to suppress overshoot, and increase the Ki value when predicting cooling to speed up the response.
[0107] The LSTM model uses an attention mechanism formula:
[0108]
[0109] where h is the LSTM hidden state, h i is the hidden state at the i-th time step (i = 1, 2, 3,..., n), and it is assumed that the LSTM has 128 neural units per layer, then the dimensions of h and h i are 128*1 (column vector); W and w are weight matrices, W is used to map the hidden state h to the attention score space; w is an attention weight vector used to calculate the final attention score; and b is a bias.
[0110] This formula calculates the attention weight of each time step hidden state, dynamically focusing on key features such as temperature mutation points during liquid nitrogen phase change or pressure abnormal fluctuation points, so that the model pays more attention to data segments that have a greater impact on temperature field prediction, improving the prediction accuracy of LSTM for ultra-low temperature temperature field changes. Through the model, 100 groups of historical features are input every second, and the temperature prediction value in the next 30 seconds is output. If the predicted deviation is greater than 5 mK, adjust the PID parameters 10 seconds in advance, reduce the Kp value (such as from 1.8 to 1.5) when predicting warming to suppress overshoot, and increase the Ki value (such as from 0.08 to 0.1) when predicting cooling to speed up the response.
[0111] In the calculation of the indication error, the standard temperature value is converted according to the resistance value R s of the standard platinum resistance, and the actual temperature T s is calculated by the ITS-90 temperature scale formula,
[0112] ΔT i = T x - T s - ΔT grad
[0113] ΔT i is the indication error of the temperature point of the thermometer being calibrated; and ΔT gradfor the axial temperature gradient correction value;
[0114] The calibrated thermometer is inserted into the short rod module with an insertion depth of 280 mm, and the axial temperature gradient correction value AT grad = -0.002°C;
[0115] The calibrated thermometer is inserted into the long rod module with an insertion depth of 400 mm, and the axial temperature gradient correction value AT grad = +0.003°C.
[0116] The precise calculation of the indication error avoids the indirect error of temperature coefficient fitting, directly provides reliable deviation evaluation for the metrological traceability of the ultra-low temperature thermometer, and meets the high-precision requirements of temperature measuring equipment in the fields of biological medicine, deep space exploration, etc.
[0117] Example 2:
[0118] A multi-mode calibration system, as shown in Figures 1-2 for implementing the low-temperature temperature metrological value traceability method based on the LSTM in Example 1, the LSTM model is suitable for calibration of ultra-low temperature thermometers in the range of (-196 to -80) °C, and the core is composed of four parts: a double-cavity multi-mode constant temperature source module, a liquid nitrogen cold source system, an intelligent temperature control heating system, and a room temperature controller. The overall device adopts a vertical structure, the bottom is a high-vacuum Dewar bottle with a built-in heat block assembly, and the top is connected to the controller and sensor cable interface through a flange.
