[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method embodiment of a method for determining heat exchanger fault information is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0032] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining heat exchanger fault information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the heat exchanger fault information includes the following steps:

[0033] Step S102, obtaining a first water flow picture and a second water flow picture of a heat exchanger interface, wherein the first water flow picture and the second water flow picture are pictures collected at different times.

[0034] Optionally, in the above steps, the heat exchanger is a device that transfers part of the heat of a hot fluid to a cold fluid, and in the embodiment of the present invention, a plate heat exchanger is mainly used.

[0035] It should be noted that, in the above steps, a first water flow rate picture is first obtained and then a second water flow rate picture is obtained at the same position after a preset period of time, so as to achieve the purpose of detecting the water flow rate.

[0036] Step S104, when it is determined that the difference in blurriness between the first water flow image and the second water flow image is greater than a first preset threshold, obtain a temperature distribution diagram during the operation of the heat exchanger, wherein the first preset threshold is a preset blurriness threshold of the water flow image.

[0037] In the above steps, the blur degree of the water flow image is used to determine whether congestion occurs. When the channel between the plates of the plate heat exchanger is blocked, the water flow at the blocked part will change, and the blur degree of the water flow image will also change accordingly, so as to determine whether congestion occurs.

[0038] Step S106: determining fault information of the heat exchanger based on the temperature distribution diagram.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first water flow image and the second water flow image of the heat exchanger interface can be obtained first, wherein the first water flow image and the second water flow image are images collected at different times; then, when it is determined that the difference in blurriness between the first water flow image and the second water flow image is greater than the first predetermined threshold, the temperature distribution diagram during the operation of the heat exchanger can be obtained, wherein the first preset threshold is the preset blurriness threshold of the water flow image; finally, the fault information of the heat exchanger is determined based on the temperature distribution diagram. The method for determining the fault information of the heat exchanger according to the embodiment of the present invention achieves the purpose of determining the fault information of the heat exchanger based on the water flow image and the temperature distribution diagram of the heat exchanger interface obtained, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of plate heat exchanger fault detection, and further solving the technical problem that the channels between the plates of the plate heat exchanger are easily blocked and the efficiency of manual detection of blockage is low, and there are safety hazards.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, before determining that the difference in blurriness between the first water flow image and the second water flow image is greater than a first predetermined threshold, the method also includes: using a preset algorithm to obtain a first blurriness and a second blurriness of the first water flow image and the second water flow image, respectively; calculating the difference between the first blurriness and the second blurriness and taking the absolute value to obtain the blurriness difference.

[0041] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a plate heat exchanger structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the water flow in the plate heat exchanger will flow at a uniform speed between the plates. When congestion occurs, the local water flow velocity will change. By detecting the change in the water flow rate, the Laplace variance algorithm is used to calculate the blurring degree of the front and back images according to the different blurring degrees within a certain period of time. When the calculated blurring degree difference is greater than the set threshold, it is used as the preliminary condition for blockage judgment.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, the preset algorithm includes one of the following: Laplace algorithm, floating-point operation algorithm.

[0043] In the above optional embodiment, the preset algorithm is mainly used to calculate the blur degree in the water flow image, which includes but is not limited to: Laplace variance algorithm, floating point numerical method, pixel gray value statistical method, etc. Among them, the Laplace variance algorithm is to perform convolution operation on a channel in the image with Laplace mask and then calculate the variance (i.e., standard deviation). If the variance of the image is lower than a predefined threshold, the image can be considered to be blurred; otherwise, it is not considered to be blurred, so as to simply and effectively judge the change of water flow.

[0044] As an optional embodiment, determining the fault information of the heat exchanger based on the temperature distribution map includes: extracting RGB difference values ​​in the temperature distribution map, wherein the RGB difference value is the difference between an abnormal RGB value area and other areas in the temperature distribution map; extracting contour information in the temperature distribution map, wherein the contour information is a difference ratio between an upper and lower width range of a working temperature flow channel; determining the fault information based on the RGB difference value and the contour information to achieve fault detection of the plate heat exchanger.

[0045] In the above optional embodiment, the RGB value in this embodiment is a value that can represent different colors. In the embodiment, the RGB value in the image is calculated, and the blockage condition of the target area is confirmed based on the difference between the RGB value of the blocked area and the RGB value of the normal area. The local temperature image after blockage will also show a certain area of ​​color diffusion. The next step is to extract the contour of the image in this range. The average width of the contour of the blocked area will undergo a singular change in value relative to the contour of its surrounding area, so as to judge the congestion condition and specific location.

[0046] As an optional embodiment, the fault information is determined according to the RGB difference and the contour information, including: determining whether there is a first target area in the temperature distribution map, the first target area is an area in the temperature distribution map where the RGB difference is greater than a second preset threshold, wherein the second preset threshold is an RGB preset difference threshold; determining whether there is a second target area in the temperature distribution map, the second target area is an area in the temperature distribution map where the contour information is greater than a third preset threshold, wherein the third preset threshold is a preset contour information threshold; in the case of determining that the first target area and the second target area exist, determining whether a water inlet is blocked; in the case of determining that the water inlet is blocked, determining the fault information including the fault location based on the position information of the first target area and the position information of the second target area.

[0047] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of thermal imaging temperature distribution according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, under normal operation of the plate heat exchanger, the water flows at a uniform speed and the normal heat exchange process is carried out. The temperature distribution diagram shows a certain distribution law. Once congestion occurs at a certain position, the RGB value of the local position will produce a certain regional mutation relative to other positions without congestion, that is, the temperature distribution at the flow channel will have a certain area of ​​color deepening and diffusion. When this mutation value is greater than the preset RGB preset value, it can be judged that the area may be congested, and further conclusions can be drawn based on whether the temperature distribution of the heat exchanger flow channel is abnormal. .

[0048] As an optional embodiment, when it is determined that the first target area and the second target area exist, determining whether the water inlet is blocked includes: receiving the fault information; after determining that the time after receiving the fault information exceeds a fourth preset threshold, determining that a blockage occurs; wherein the fourth preset threshold is a time preset threshold after receiving the fault information.

[0049] In the above optional embodiment, when it is first determined that the first target area exists and the second target area also exists at the same time, it can be determined that the water inlet is blocked, and timing starts after receiving the fault information. When the time exceeds the preset time, it is determined that congestion has occurred, so as to achieve reasonable detection of congestion.

[0050] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a thermal camera can be used to photograph the plate heat exchanger to obtain a temperature distribution map of the object surface during the operation of the plate heat exchanger. Because heat will accumulate in the blocked area, the temperature will rise in a small area. The thermal imaging picture of the plate heat exchanger (i.e., the temperature distribution map) will show red at high temperatures, and the higher the temperature, the deeper the red will be. At this time, we can use the statistical feature method of color parameters to extract the RGB values ​​in the image, and use the RGB values ​​to represent the difference between the image colors and the temperature. Therefore, if the temperature difference between the blocked area and the surrounding area becomes larger, the color difference on the distribution map will become more obvious, and a certain area of ​​color diffusion will appear. In this embodiment, the position here can also be marked, and the height of the plate and the spacing between the plates are used as the coordinate reference system.

[0051] As an optional embodiment, after determining the fault information of the heat exchanger based on the temperature distribution map, the method further includes: controlling a water pump to clean the faulty position of the heat exchanger.

[0052] Figure 4 FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a method for determining heat exchanger fault information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 As shown, firstly, take a picture of the water flow within a certain period of time, then determine whether the difference in blurriness of the water flow pictures taken at different moments is greater than a preset threshold, if not, continue to maintain the monitoring state; if greater, continue to determine whether the RGB value of the local mutation in the thermal imaging temperature distribution map is greater than the preset threshold, and whether the difference ratio of the upper and lower widths of a certain part of the flow channel is greater than a preset threshold (for example, 40%), if not satisfied, continue to maintain monitoring; if satisfied, continue to determine whether the time under the condition of satisfying the previous step continues to exceed a preset time threshold, if satisfied, it is determined that congestion occurs, and wake up the water pump to clean the plate heat exchanger.

[0053] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the embodiment of the present invention can detect whether the plate heat exchanger is blocked, and accurately find the blockage position to facilitate the smooth progress of subsequent cleaning work, and by detecting the change in the water flow, according to the different blur levels within a certain period of time, the Laplace variance algorithm is then used to calculate the blurring degree of the images before and after. When the calculated blurring degree difference is greater than the set threshold, it is used as the preliminary condition for blocking judgment. The temperature distribution map of the surface of the object is obtained by shooting the heat exchanger image with a thermal imaging camera. After blocking, the local temperature will rise and the color will deepen. The RGB value in the image is calculated by using the statistical characteristic method of color parameters. According to the difference between the RGB value of the blocked area and the RGB value of the normal area, the blockage of the target area is confirmed, and the local temperature image after blocking will also show a certain area of ​​color diffusion. The next step is to extract the contour of the range image. The average width of the contour of the blocked area will have a singular change in value relative to the contour of its surroundings. Finally, the location of the blockage of the plate heat exchanger can be accurately located according to the coordinate system. In this way, the start and stop of the water pump can be used to promote the flow of impurity deposits, thereby accurately locating the cleaning heat exchanger to ensure the stable operation of the system.
