10. An intelligent control system for a vacuum-insulated liquid nitrogen tank storage device, applied to the vacuum-insulated liquid nitrogen tank storage device as described in any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that, include: The data acquisition module collects liquid nitrogen level, temperature, pressure, humidity and external environmental data, and transmits them to the edge computing node built into the intelligent control device. The edge computing node performs filtering and normalization preprocessing on the data before transmitting it to the digital twin simulation module. The digital twin simulation module receives data transmitted from edge computing nodes, uses computational fluid dynamics to simulate thermal flow and liquid nitrogen evaporation processes, constructs a virtual model for dynamic simulation, and outputs the simulation results to the intelligent diagnosis and prediction module. The intelligent diagnosis and prediction module receives the simulation results output by the digital twin simulation module, uses a long short-term memory network to process time series data, integrates a support vector machine to detect liquid nitrogen evaporation anomalies, and outputs the prediction results to the adaptive optimization control module. The adaptive optimization control module receives the prediction results output by the intelligent diagnosis and prediction module, uses a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and model predictive control to generate an optimized control strategy, and outputs control commands to the distributed cooperative execution module. The distributed collaborative execution module receives the control instructions output by the adaptive optimization control module, drives the valve body module (11) inlet (12) valve to adjust the liquid nitrogen inflow rate through the programmable logic controller, and transmits the execution status feedback to the real-time feedback and online learning module. The real-time feedback and online learning module obtains basic system parameters by monitoring the operating status of the intelligent control device. At the same time, it receives execution feedback transmitted by the distributed collaborative execution module. After fusing the basic system parameters and execution feedback, it uses incremental learning and federated learning algorithms for online learning to optimize the control strategy and generate learning results. The learning results are then fed back to the data acquisition module and the digital twin simulation module.
