[0032] Embodiment 1: This embodiment describes in detail the specific process of multi-modal data alignment through feature space mapping algorithm based on vibration sensor time series data. Time-frequency domain conversion is performed on the vibration sensor time series data. The original data collected by the vibration sensor is a time series signal that changes over time, which contains the vibration information of mechanical components at different times. In order to analyze these data more comprehensively, it is necessary to convert them from the time domain to the frequency domain to obtain frequency characteristics and amplitude distribution information. Here, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) is used to realize time-frequency domain conversion. Short-time Fourier transform slides a window function on the time axis, Fourier transforms the data in each time window, and obtains the frequency components of the signal at different time points to generate a state feature map of time-frequency joint distribution. This feature map takes time as the horizontal axis and frequency as the vertical axis, and the amplitude of each point represents the energy intensity of the corresponding frequency at that time point, which can intuitively reflect the changes of mechanical component vibration characteristics over time.

[0033] Based on the pre-defined reference feature library, the principal component feature vector is extracted by kernel principal component analysis algorithm (KPCA), and the space transformation matrix is calculated. The reference feature library stores a large number of multi-modal data features under normal operating conditions as a reference standard for data alignment. Kernel principal component analysis is an extension of principal component analysis (PCA), which maps nonlinear data to high-dimensional feature space through kernel function, and then performs principal component analysis in high-dimensional space, so as to process nonlinear data relationship. Specifically, first, the state feature map of time-frequency joint distribution is input into the KPCA algorithm, which is mapped to high-dimensional space through kernel function (such as radial basis function RBF), and then the covariance matrix in high-dimensional space is calculated, and the eigenvalue and eigenvector of the covariance matrix are solved to extract the principal component feature vector. These principal component feature vectors represent the main change direction of data in high-dimensional space, which can preserve the key information of data to the greatest extent. According to the principal component feature vector, the space transformation matrix can be calculated, which is used to map data of different modalities to the same feature space to realize preliminary data alignment.

[0034] The local linear embedding algorithm (LLE) is used to optimize the spatial transformation matrix to generate an accurate mapping relationship between the coordinate systems of multi-modal sensors. The basic idea of the local linear embedding algorithm is to maintain the local linear structure of the data, that is, each data point can be linearly represented by the points in its neighborhood. In the data alignment process, different modal sensors may have different coordinate systems and measurement accuracies, resulting in some errors in the preliminary mapping results. The LLE algorithm optimizes the spatial transformation matrix through the following steps: first, find the k nearest neighbors of each data point in the high-dimensional space; then, calculate the linear representation coefficients of each data point by its nearest neighbors; finally, keep these linear representation coefficients unchanged in the low-dimensional space, and solve the optimal low-dimensional embedding coordinates. Through the optimization of the LLE algorithm, the mapping relationship between the coordinate systems of multi-modal sensors can be more accurate, and the local structure and global features of the data can be better preserved, so as to generate an accurate mapping relationship.

[0035] The accurate mapping relationship is consistent with the state space dimension mapping relationship, and the alignment error correction parameters are output. The state space dimension mapping relationship is defined before data alignment, which describes the dimension correspondence of different modal data in the state space. In order to ensure the consistency of the accurate mapping relationship and the state space dimension mapping relationship, consistency check is needed. Specifically, the multi-modal data after accurate mapping is matched in dimension according to the state space dimension mapping relationship, and then the mapping error in each dimension is calculated. For example, for vibration sensor data and temperature transmitter data, in a certain common physical dimension (such as time or spatial position), the difference between their mapped data values is compared, and the distribution of these differences is counted to obtain the alignment error. According to the size and distribution of the alignment error, alignment error correction parameters are output, which are used to adjust the subsequent data alignment process, such as correcting the parameters of the spatial transformation matrix or reselecting the reference features in the reference feature library, to improve the accuracy and reliability of data alignment. Through the sequential execution of the above four steps, the feature space mapping processing of the vibration sensor time series data is realized, and the aligned state space dimension mapping relationship is generated, providing accurate and consistent multi-modal data basis for subsequent autonomous decision control of industrial equipment.

[0036] Embodiment 2: The embodiment details the specific process of calculating the device thermal drift compensation amount and generating dynamic operation correction parameters combined with the thermodynamic state model. First, the temperature field reconstruction is performed on the continuous data of the temperature transmitter, and the real-time temperature change curve of each component is extracted. The temperature transmitter collects continuous temperature data of each part of the device, but these data usually exist in the form of discrete sampling points. In order to more intuitively reflect the temperature distribution and change trend of the whole device, temperature field reconstruction is needed. Specifically, the discrete temperature sampling points are processed by interpolation algorithm (such as cubic spline interpolation or radial basis function interpolation) to convert them into continuous temperature field distribution. In the reconstruction process, the geometric structure, material properties and heat source distribution of the device need to be considered to ensure that the reconstructed temperature field can accurately reflect the actual temperature state of the device. After completing the temperature field reconstruction, the real-time temperature change curve of each component is extracted from the temperature field, which clearly shows the temperature change of each component of the device at different times, providing basic data for subsequent thermal drift calculation.

[0037] According to the material thermal expansion coefficient database, the non-linear drift amount calculation formula under the current temperature change is matched. The material thermal expansion coefficient database stores the thermal expansion coefficient data of various industrial device materials in different temperature intervals, which are usually obtained by experimental measurement. After obtaining the real-time temperature change curve of each component of the device, the material type of each component is first determined, and then the corresponding thermal expansion coefficient is found in the database according to the current temperature change range. Since the thermal expansion characteristics of materials are often nonlinear, the thermal expansion coefficient will also change accordingly with the change of temperature, so it is necessary to select appropriate nonlinear model to describe the relationship between thermal expansion and temperature according to the specific situation of temperature change. For example, for some metal materials, the thermal expansion amount may be related to the square or cubic of temperature, so the corresponding nonlinear function needs to be used as the drift amount calculation formula. In this way, the thermal expansion behavior of materials at different temperatures can be described more accurately, and the calculation accuracy of thermal drift compensation amount can be improved.

[0038] The local drift compensation coefficients are generated by simulating the thermal deformation trend through a finite element thermal analysis model. The finite element thermal analysis model is a numerical simulation method that discretizes the device structure into multiple finite element units. By applying corresponding thermal boundary conditions and material properties to each unit, the thermal deformation of the device under different temperature fields can be simulated. In establishing the finite element thermal analysis model, the device needs to be first geometrically modeled and decomposed into appropriate finite element grids. The grid partition density needs to be determined according to the complexity of the device structure and the accuracy requirements of thermal analysis. This involves a parameter optimization method for the finite element thermal analysis model: first, calculate the initial grid partition density and material parameter sensitivity based on the historical thermal drift data distribution. The historical thermal drift data contains the deformation data of the device due to temperature changes during past operation. Through statistical analysis of these data, it can be determined which areas need denser grids and which material parameters have a more sensitive impact on thermal deformation.

[0039] The Latin hypercube sampling algorithm is used to traverse the simulation parameter combinations. This algorithm is a stratified sampling method that can obtain a more uniform parameter distribution with fewer sampling times, thereby improving the efficiency of parameter optimization. By traversing different grid partition densities and material parameter combinations, multiple finite element simulations are performed, and the parameter combination with the smallest error between the simulation results and the actual measurement data is selected. Finally, the grid partition density and material parameter sensitivity are dynamically adjusted according to the error distribution to further optimize the accuracy of the local drift compensation coefficients. Through the simulation of the finite element thermal analysis model, the thermal deformation and deformation trend of each part of the device can be obtained, and the local drift compensation coefficients can be generated. These coefficients represent the degree of compensation required by different parts during the thermal deformation process.

[0040] The nonlinear drift amount calculation formula is combined with the local drift compensation coefficient to output dynamic operation correction parameters. The nonlinear drift amount calculation formula describes the overall relationship between the material thermal expansion amount and the temperature change, while the local drift compensation coefficient reflects the thermal deformation difference of each part of the device due to structural and material differences. By combining the two, the nonlinear drift amount calculation formula needs to be corrected according to the material type of each component of the device, the temperature change, and the local drift compensation coefficient. Specifically, for each component, first calculate the theoretical thermal expansion amount according to its temperature change curve and the nonlinear drift amount calculation formula, then multiply it by the corresponding local drift compensation coefficient to get the actual thermal drift amount that needs to be compensated for that component. Convert these compensation amounts into corresponding operation parameter correction values, for example, for mechanical transmission components, thermal drift may cause changes in their size, affecting transmission accuracy, at which point the thermal drift compensation amount needs to be converted into a correction value for the transmission parameters; for electrical components, thermal drift may affect their electrical performance, and the compensation amount needs to be converted into a correction value for the electrical parameters. In this way, dynamic operation correction parameters are generated, which can reflect the operation deviation of the device due to temperature changes in real time and are used to correct the operation state of the device to ensure stable and reliable operation of the device under different temperature conditions.

[0041] In this embodiment, the specific process of adaptive threshold segmentation processing of discrete data of a pressure instrument to extract key operation state points and abnormal event boundaries is described in detail. Time series decoding is performed on the discrete data of the pressure instrument to extract the pressure fluctuation distribution diagram and the threshold mapping relationship. The discrete data collected by the pressure instrument is usually stored in a specific encoding format, which records the pressure values at different time points, but needs to be decoded before being used for analysis. The time series decoding process arranges the discrete pressure data in chronological order and restores it to a continuous time series form. During decoding, factors such as data sampling frequency, encoding rules, and possible noise interference need to be considered to ensure that the decoded data accurately reflects the real changes of pressure over time. After decoding, the pressure fluctuation distribution diagram is obtained by plotting the corresponding relationship between pressure value and time. This distribution diagram directly shows the fluctuation amplitude, frequency, and trend of pressure in different time periods. At the same time, based on historical data and process requirements of device operation, the mapping relationship between pressure value and threshold is established to preliminarily determine the possible threshold range, providing a basis for subsequent threshold segmentation.

[0042] Based on the variance change of the pressure fluctuation distribution, the stable operation area and the abnormal fluctuation area are divided. Variance is an important indicator to measure the degree of data dispersion. In the pressure fluctuation analysis, the pressure data under stable operation state usually has smaller variance, that is, the pressure value is relatively stable and the fluctuation amplitude is small. When the equipment is abnormal, the variance of pressure data will significantly increase, indicating that the pressure fluctuation is intensified. In specific operation, the pressure fluctuation distribution is first divided into several time periods in chronological order. The length of each time period can be determined according to the characteristics of the data and the analysis requirements. Then, the variance of the pressure data in each time period is calculated, and a reasonable variance threshold is set to distinguish the stable operation area and the abnormal fluctuation area. For example, when the variance of a certain time period is less than the set threshold, it is determined as a stable operation area; when the variance is greater than or equal to the set threshold, it is determined as an abnormal fluctuation area. When determining the variance threshold, factors such as the normal operation range of the equipment, the distribution of historical data and the process requirements should be considered to ensure the accuracy of the area division. Through this way, different operation state areas in the pressure fluctuation distribution can be clearly divided, providing a more targeted processing range for subsequent threshold segmentation.

[0043] The threshold segmentation range is set according to the regional stability weight, and the multi-scale quantile segmentation processing is performed. The regional stability weight is determined according to the historical operation stability of each region. The higher the stability, the closer the pressure data in the region to the normal operation state, and the larger the weight. The lower the stability, the smaller the weight. When setting the threshold segmentation range, for the stable operation area, the threshold range can be set relatively narrow because the pressure data is relatively stable, so as to more accurately capture the pressure change under normal operation state; for the abnormal fluctuation area, the threshold range needs to be appropriately widened to avoid misjudging some normal fluctuations as abnormal. Multi-scale quantile segmentation processing is to analyze pressure data from different scales. Common quantiles include quartiles, tenths, etc. Specifically, for each divided region, the pressure values corresponding to different quantiles are calculated, such as 25%, 50%, 75% quantiles, etc. These quantiles are used as candidate points for threshold segmentation. Through multi-scale quantile segmentation, the distribution characteristics of pressure data can be captured from different angles, avoiding the limitations that may be brought by single-scale segmentation. When performing segmentation, the threshold of different quantiles needs to be weighted according to the regional stability weight, so that the quantile threshold of the region with high stability occupies a larger weight in the final threshold range, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of threshold segmentation.

[0044] The segmented threshold mapping relationship and the abnormal event boundary are subjected to morphological opening operation to generate smooth running state points. The morphological opening operation is a mathematical morphology-based image processing operation including two steps of erosion and dilation, and is commonly used for smoothing boundaries, removing noise and separating objects, etc. Here, the segmented threshold mapping relationship is regarded as a binary image, where the area above the threshold represents possible abnormalities and the area below the threshold represents normal running states. The abnormal event boundary is predefined according to historical data of device operation and process knowledge, and is used to define the range of abnormal event occurrence. By performing morphological opening operation on the threshold mapping relationship and the abnormal event boundary, first, the image is subjected to erosion operation to remove small protrusions and noise points on the boundary, and then subjected to dilation operation to restore the area reduced due to erosion, thereby smoothing the threshold boundary and the abnormal event boundary. After morphological opening operation processing, the burrs and discontinuous points that may occur in the threshold segmentation process can be effectively removed, so that the extracted key running state points and the abnormal event boundary are smoother and more continuous. The generated smooth running state points can accurately reflect the running conditions of the device under different pressure states, and provide clear and reliable input data for the subsequent reinforcement learning decision model. These state points not only contain the specific values of the pressure, but also ensure the continuity and stability of the time series through morphological processing, which helps to improve the accuracy of the fusion decision result of the device control action and abnormal disposal.

[0045] In this embodiment, the working process of the state encoding module in the reinforcement learning decision model is described in detail. The module generates fusion decision results of device control actions and abnormal disposal through processing and fusion of multi-source data. Feature dimension reduction calculation is performed on the state space dimension mapping relationship to generate a low-dimensional dense state representation vector. In the running process of industrial equipment, the vibration, temperature, pressure and other data obtained by the multi-modal perception module form a state space dimension mapping relationship after feature space mapping, which often has a high dimension. Direct processing will increase the computational complexity and may introduce the dimension disaster problem. Therefore, a feature dimension reduction algorithm needs to be used for processing. Common dimension reduction algorithms such as principal component analysis (PCA) or t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) can be selected according to the characteristics of the data. Taking PCA as an example, the core idea is to project high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional space through linear transformation while preserving the main variance information of the data. In specific operation, the state space dimension mapping relationship is first standardized to eliminate the influence of the dimension of different dimensions of data, and then the covariance matrix of the data is calculated, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are solved, the principal components are selected according to the contribution rate of the eigenvalues, and then the high-dimensional data is mapped into a low-dimensional space spanned by the principal components to generate a low-dimensional dense state representation vector. This representation vector reduces the dimension while preserving the key features of the original data to the greatest extent, providing efficient data representation for subsequent processing.

[0046] The dynamic operation correction parameters are converted into offset correction amounts of vector dimensions and superimposed into the state representation vector. The dynamic operation correction parameters are calculated in combination with the thermodynamic state model and are used to compensate for the operation deviation of the equipment due to factors such as thermal drift. These parameters usually include thermal deformation compensation amounts of each component and transmission precision correction values. In order to integrate these parameters into the state representation, it is necessary to determine the corresponding relationship between the parameters and each dimension of the state representation vector. For example, the thermal deformation compensation amount of a certain component may correspond to the mechanical displacement dimension in the state representation vector. At this time, the compensation amount needs to be converted into the offset correction amount of this dimension, and the conversion process needs to consider the physical meaning and dimension of the parameter. After the conversion is completed, the offset correction amount is superimposed into the generated state representation vector according to the corresponding dimension. This superimposition operation is not a simple numerical addition, but different weights are given according to the influence degree of the parameters, for example, higher weights are given to key parameters with greater influence, so as to ensure that the state representation vector can more accurately reflect the actual operation state of the equipment. By integrating the dynamic operation correction parameters into the state representation vector, the model can directly consider the real-time deviation compensation information of the equipment when making decisions, and the accuracy of the decisions is improved.

[0047] The key operation state points are sequentially connected to generate the time constraint conditions of the abnormal events. The key operation state points are extracted by adaptive threshold segmentation processing of the discrete data of the pressure instrument, including key state points of normal operation and boundary points of abnormal events. The distribution and connection relationship of these points on the time sequence contains the change trend of the operation state of the equipment and the development process of the abnormal events. The sequential connection operation needs to connect these discrete key state points into a sequence with time sequence according to the time sequence. For example, a certain abnormal event may be composed of a pressure drop point, a temperature overshoot point and a vibration overrun point in a certain time sequence. At this time, these points need to be sequentially connected according to the occurrence time to form the time sequence of the abnormal event. In the connection process, the time interval and sequence relationship between the state points need to be recorded to generate the time constraint conditions of the abnormal events. These constraint conditions clearly define the time sequence and allowable time deviation range of each state point in the abnormal event, for example, it is stipulated that the temperature overshoot point must occur within a certain time after the pressure drop point, otherwise it may belong to a different type of abnormality. The generation of the time constraint conditions helps the model to consider the time correlation of the events when making decisions, avoids processing individual state points in isolation, and thus more accurately identifies the type and development stage of the abnormal event.

[0048] The state representation vector is fused with the time constraint condition by a constraint optimization algorithm, and the output device control action and abnormal treatment fusion decision result. The role of the constraint optimization algorithm is to process the state representation vector under the premise of meeting the time constraint condition, and generate the optimal control decision. First, the time constraint condition needs to be converted into a mathematical constraint form that can be processed by the algorithm, such as expressing the time sequence and interval requirements of each state point as inequality constraints. Then, the state representation vector is taken as the optimization variable, and a target function is defined, which is usually constructed based on the goal of device control (such as energy consumption minimization, efficiency maximization or abnormal treatment priority). For example, when the device detects an abnormality, the target function may tend to preferentially select control actions that can quickly suppress the development of the abnormality. In the solving process of the constraint optimization algorithm, it will find the solution that makes the target function optimal in the feasible solution space that meets all the time constraint conditions, and this solution corresponds to the optimal device control action and abnormal treatment fusion decision result. Common constraint optimization algorithms such as sequential quadratic programming (SQP) or interior point method can be selected according to the complexity and solution accuracy requirements of the problem. Through the processing of the algorithm, the real-time state information of the device contained in the state representation vector and the time constraint condition of the abnormal event are organically fused, and the final output decision result not only considers the current state of the device, but also takes into account the time development law of the abnormal event, thereby providing the device with more reasonable and time-effective control schemes and abnormal treatment strategies.

[0049] In this embodiment, the process of adjusting the exploration-exploitation balance parameter of reinforcement learning through the policy updating mechanism and outputting the autonomous decision control scheme is described in detail. The node attributes are initialized according to the state space division, and the initial edge weight matrix is generated based on the decision confidence weight. The division of the state space is based on different feature combinations of the industrial equipment running state, such as vibration frequency range, temperature interval, pressure value range, etc. as the division dimension, and the entire state space is divided into multiple non-overlapping nodes, each node representing a specific device running state. When initializing the node attributes, each node needs to be assigned with corresponding state feature parameters, such as the upper and lower limits of the vibration frequency range, the average value of the temperature interval, etc. These attributes are used to represent the running state characteristics represented by the node. The decision confidence weight is generated in the previous decision process, reflecting the confidence level of different decision results. Based on these weights, an initial edge weight matrix is constructed, the elements in the matrix represent the action selection priority and decision confidence weight from one node to another node, the rows and columns of the matrix correspond to different state nodes, and the size of the matrix value represents the possibility of action transition and the confidence level of the transition.

[0050] The device control action and abnormality treatment fusion decision result is taken as the node state, and the edge weight matrix is composed of action execution time efficiency and decision confidence weight. The device control action and abnormality treatment fusion decision result is generated by the state coding module and the action evaluation module of the reinforcement learning decision model, and contains the optimal control action and abnormality treatment strategy for the current device state. These decision results are mapped to the corresponding nodes in the state space as new node states. At this time, the composition elements of the edge weight matrix have changed, and are no longer based on the initial decision confidence weight, but have integrated the key factor of action execution time efficiency. The action execution time efficiency refers to the time required to execute a certain control action to transfer from the current state to the target state, which reflects the speed of action execution. When constructing the edge weight matrix, the action execution time efficiency and the decision confidence weight need to be considered comprehensively, and a comprehensive weight value is given to each edge. For example, the edge corresponding to the action with shorter execution time and higher decision confidence is given a higher weight value, and vice versa. Such an edge weight matrix can more comprehensively reflect the advantages and disadvantages of action transfer, and provide more accurate basis for subsequent path search and strategy update.

[0051] The depth deterministic policy gradient algorithm is used to traverse the node paths, and the comprehensive benefit function of each path is calculated. The depth deterministic policy gradient algorithm (DDPG) is a reinforcement learning algorithm that combines deep neural networks and deterministic policy gradients, suitable for policy optimization in continuous action space. In this step, the DDPG algorithm is used to traverse the node paths in the state space, and the core is to approximate the policy function and value function through neural networks. Specifically, first, the Actor-Critic neural network structure is constructed, where the Actor network is used to generate a deterministic policy, i.e., to output the optimal action given the current state; the Critic network is used to evaluate the value of the action, i.e., to calculate the Q value of the state-action pair. When traversing the node path, starting from the current node state, the action is selected according to the policy generated by the Actor network, and the next node state is transferred, and the corresponding reward value is obtained. Through continuous iteration of this process, all possible node paths are traversed. In the traversal process, the comprehensive benefit function of each path is calculated, and the construction method of the function is as follows: define the path benefit as a balance factor of time efficiency and decision confidence weight, where time efficiency reflects the length of path execution, and decision confidence weight reflects the reliability of path decision. Initialize the path benefit of each node to zero, and the starting point path benefit to a preset baseline value, which is usually set according to the basic requirements of device operation and historical experience. Then, the maximum cumulative benefit of each node based on the previous nodes is calculated by dynamic programming algorithm, and the optimal policy update sequence is recorded. The dynamic programming algorithm decomposes the complex path optimization problem into multiple sub-problems, and gradually solves the optimal solution of each sub-problem to finally obtain the optimal solution of the entire path. In the calculation process, the maximum cumulative benefit of each node is equal to the maximum cumulative benefit of its previous nodes plus the path benefit of the current edge, and all nodes' maximum cumulative benefits are calculated recursively in this way, and the optimal policy update sequence is determined.

[0052] According to the comprehensive benefit function, the optimal strategy update sequence is selected, and an autonomous decision control scheme is output. After calculating the comprehensive benefit function of each path, the cumulative benefit values of different paths are compared, and the path with the maximum cumulative benefit is selected as the optimal strategy update sequence. This sequence contains a series of optimal action transitions from the current state to the target state, reflecting the optimal strategy update method considering the time efficiency and decision confidence weight. According to the optimal strategy update sequence, a specific autonomous decision control scheme is generated, which contains detailed control action steps, time sequence of action execution, and specific parameter settings of each action, etc. For example, when the equipment detects a temperature overshoot anomaly, the autonomous decision control scheme may output control actions such as reducing heating power, starting cooling system, adjusting ventilation volume, etc. in turn, and specify the execution time and duration of each action. By outputting the control scheme, autonomous decision control of the industrial equipment is realized, enabling the equipment to take the optimal control strategy according to the current operating state and potential abnormal conditions, ensuring stable operation of the equipment and timely handling of abnormal conditions.
