This development trend brings higher requirements for the assembly and maintenance of electronic devices. Facing the complex international environment and the needs of national defense construction, it also brings new challenges to the operation and maintenance of electronic devices. Digital twin is a technical means that constructs a virtual model of a physical entity in a digital way, maps the actual state of the physical entity by means of real-time data acquisition, and then realizes the state monitoring, fault diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and health management of the physical entity, and improves the operation and maintenance level of the physical entity.

How to quickly construct a digital twin model and improve the generalization and real-time performance of the application platform has become an urgent problem to be solved.

At present, there is a lack of relevant research on digital twin models, and the application is mainly the state visualization of physical objects in the digital space, without considering fault diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and health management based on data analysis models, making it difficult to meet the real-time interaction and remote operation and maintenance requirements of complex electronic devices; ② At present, digital twin technology is in the initial exploration stage. Different enterprises and researchers have different definitions and interpretations of digital twin models.

[0067] A certain coupling and mutual association should be established between the data-driven model and the data analysis model. The analysis results of the data analysis model can act on the data-driven model and support synchronous updates to ensure that data does not get confused during the application process.

[0068] In one embodiment, the digital twin model of the electronic equipment further includes an environment model, which is used to reflect the operating environment of the physical equipment.

[0069] In the second aspect, as Figure 2 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a construction method for a digital twin model of electronic equipment, including:

[0072] Among them, a data-driven model of physical equipment is established through 3D design software to map the geometric features of the equipment, and the material should be the same as that of the physical equipment, and the color, texture, and texture map should be close to the actual appearance of the physical equipment; a data analysis model of physical equipment is established using simulation software and artificial intelligence algorithms to describe the behavior mechanism of the equipment.

[0073] S302.

Drive the model through the real-time data of the physical equipment to check the consistency of the actions of the virtual and real equipment.

[0075] S304. Model Management: Manage the models hierarchically, by category, and by version for model sharing and exchange, and support the logical association between the models and the twin data to facilitate applications such as quick historical reproduction.

[0076] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the construction process of the data-driven model in S301 includes:

[0077] S400. Interface Design: Perform data input / output according to predefined data types (such as JSON, XML, etc.) and adapt to the software interfaces for accessing the data analysis model to ensure the connectivity of data loading and display;

[0078] S401. Data-Driven Model Design: Generally, two modes of forward modeling and reverse modeling are adopted. In the embodiment of the present invention, through a three-dimensional design platform or tool (such as 3DMAX, PiXYZ, etc.), simplify, lightweight, and texture the existing data-driven model, perform reverse modeling on the equipment data-driven model that cannot be directly obtained, and dynamically update the model according to the twin data;

[0079] S402. Model Simplification and Lightweighting: Delete geometric features, components, and information that do not affect the model application requirements, and perform patch processing on the remaining geometric features to make the data volume of the simplified and lightweight model small, and try to ensure that the lightweight model is consistent with the physical equipment in terms of geometry and appearance;

[0080] S403. Model Physical Attributes and Constraint Conditions: Set according to the actual physical attributes of the physical equipment as much as possible, such as actual color, texture, etc., for the visualization of model application, and set material attributes according to different application requirements. The material attributes include mechanical (elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, etc.), electrical (conductivity, resistivity, etc.), magnetic (magnetic permeability, magnetic susceptibility, etc.), and optical (reflectivity, absorptivity, etc.) attributes;

[0081] S404, Model Inspection and Modification: Inspect the model according to the model application requirements and the consistency inspection rules of the geometric features, assembly constraints between the physical equipment and the model, so as to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of the model; and modify the component elements such as geometry, set materials, and assembly constraints that do not meet the requirements according to the results of the model inspection.

[0082] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the construction process of the data analysis model in S301 includes:

[0083] S500, Interface Design: Perform data input / output according to predefined data types (such as JSON, XML, etc.) and adapt the software interface accessing the data analysis model to ensure the connectivity of data loading and display;

[0084] S501, Data Analysis Model Design: Build a digital model describing the behavior mechanism of the equipment through corresponding simulation software (such as ANSYS, Modelica, Matlab, etc.) and artificial intelligence algorithms (such as statistical analysis, machine learning, etc.), including kinematic models, dynamic analysis models, thermal simulation analysis models, reliability simulation analysis models, static analysis models, electrical performance simulation models, servo control system simulation models, etc., which are multi-disciplinary and multi-physical quantity analysis models;

[0085] S502, Functional Characteristic Setting: Describe and set the functional attribute characteristics of the model according to the respective characteristics and application requirements of each system of the physical equipment, and the functional attributes include stress, strain, communication, and electromagnetic interference;

[0086] S503, Model Inspection and Modification: Inspect the model according to the model application requirements and the inspection rules of the consistency of the state attributes and behavior rules between the physical equipment and the model, and modify the state elements that do not meet the requirements.

[0087] The interface of S400 or S500 is the bridge for information interaction between the physical equipment and the digital twin model. By agreeing on the interface relationship, the information interaction between the model and the equipment is realized, which facilitates the inspection, modification, and application process of the model, and also facilitates the reuse of digital twin models between different equipment; it should provide functions of data real-time synchronization, data compression, and data quality assessment to meet the virtual-real mapping between the physical equipment and the digital twin model.

[0088] It should be noted that the design of the interface in the embodiments of the present invention is as Figure 5As shown, the twin data of physical equipment is collected by sensors, and after parsing and processing, it drives the operation of the digital twin model, realizing the virtual-real mapping between the physical equipment and the digital twin model. At the same time, through preset thresholds or big data analysis, decision-making information is output to the physical equipment, thereby completing the status monitoring, fault diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and health management of the physical equipment, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0089] Thirdly, as Figure 6 to 7 shown, the embodiments of the present invention provide an application of a sub-equipment digital twin model, including: collecting data of physical equipment by using sensors or existing data systems, performing visual status monitoring on the physical equipment, and using edge-side computing and big data analysis in the data collection stage to perform fault status monitoring, fault diagnosis, predictive maintenance, and health management on the physical equipment.

[0090] Among them, the status monitoring is based on real-time collected data, monitors the operating status of the physical equipment in the digital space, and alarms abnormal data or performs corresponding automatic control;

[0091] The fault diagnosis is to construct a fault diagnosis model based on the operating historical data of the physical equipment, monitor key fault parameters in real time, and identify equipment fault modes by combining the operating status characteristics of the equipment;

[0092] The predictive maintenance is based on real-time operating data, analyzes the damage and degradation mechanisms of key components of the physical equipment, and analyzes the internal damage status of key components in real time to achieve predictive maintenance of the equipment. The predictive maintenance includes status trend prediction and remaining life prediction. The status trend prediction can predict the status time series of the physical equipment according to the monitoring data and historical time series data, and describe the fault generation and transmission process in combination with the fault diagnosis model to predict possible fault modes. The remaining life prediction analyzes the failure causes by real-time monitoring the damage status data of key components and vulnerable components, and dynamically updates the predictive model;

[0093] The health management provides a series of maintenance and guarantee measures according to the results of fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance.

[0094] To further illustrate the method of the embodiments of the present invention, taking a certain tethered balloon as an example, the specific process of the present invention is introduced in detail:

[0095] A moored balloon is an aerostat that is filled with gas inside to generate buoyancy and is suspended in the high altitude by a cable restraint. By carrying a certain payload, it can perform tasks such as early warning detection, reconnaissance and surveillance, and communication in the high altitude. Since the moored balloon works in the air for a long time and it is impossible to visually monitor the working state of the moored balloon in real time, by using the method in the embodiments of the present invention, a high-fidelity digital twin equipment of the moored balloon and the working environment of the equipment can be constructed in the digital space. The sensor data is collected by the data communication module, and the digital twin model is driven to move through processing, so as to complete the state monitoring of the moored balloon in the processes such as on the ground, taking off, and staying in the air. And according to the real-time state data of the moored balloon, an instruction can be sent to the actuator (such as the mooring cable retracting and releasing control switch) through the digital twin operation and maintenance system of the moored balloon. After receiving the instruction, the actuator completes the corresponding operation, so as to realize the remote automatic control of the moored balloon.

[0096] Step 1: The moored balloon is composed of a complex rigid and flexible body structure, including a spherical body, a mooring cable, a ground mooring facility, and functional subsystems, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to construct data-driven models such as a digital twin model of the spherical body, a digital twin model of the mooring cable, and a digital twin model of the ground mooring facility, as well as data analysis models such as an electrical subsystem model, a measurement and control subsystem model, a communication subsystem model, a pressure regulation subsystem model, a dynamics calculation model, an aerodynamic calculation model, and a thermodynamics calculation model in the functional subsystems.

[0097] In addition, the working environment of the moored balloon has a serious impact on the moored balloon, such as Figure 8(a) to Figure 8(b) shown, so it is also necessary to construct a digital twin environment model.

[0098] Step 2: Construct a digital twin meta-model and a digital twin derivative model respectively according to the steps shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0099] Among them, the spherical body is composed of a bladder, a payload, and other components. Taking the central coordinate system of the spherical body as the local coordinate system SLCS (S s -o s x s y s z s ) to create a digital twin model of the spherical body. The bladder is a flexible body model. It is necessary to make the spherical body have texture and bumpy features through texturing, and use the obi-fluid in unity to simulate the inflation and deflation process. At the same time, the speed and time of the inflation and deflation process of the spherical body are controlled by code to realize the configurability of this process; the payload and other components can be simplified according to the visualization content and confidentiality requirements. The model is simplified by 3D Max, geometric features and components that do not affect performance expression and application are deleted, and the model volume is reduced through patch processing by Pixyz, and the position accuracy of the model is ensured to ensure that the modeling and assembly of each model of the spherical body are consistent with the physical assembly.

[0100] The mooring cable is used to connect the sphere and the ground mooring facility. During the process of releasing and mooring the mooring balloon in the air, due to the action of internal tension, gravity and wind force, the created cable model interferes with the sphere. Therefore, the cable is designed in segments through the obi module in unity and flexible feature processing is carried out to facilitate the retraction and extension of the cable and the mapping of bending changes at different heights.

[0101] The ground mooring facility takes the rotation support center coordinate system of the mooring equipment as the local coordinate system ELCS(S e -o e x e y e z e ), and digital twin models of ground mooring facilities such as mooring vehicles, servo control equipment, and retraction and extension equipment are created according to the three-dimensional model or actual size. At the same time, the ELCS is set as the original coordinate (0, 0, 0) of the world coordinate system for environmental model creation, assembly of each model, and coordinate system conversion. And through S s and S e the attitude angles of the sphere (α - pitch angle, β - yaw angle, θ - roll angle) can be calculated. The transformation matrix from ELCS to SLCS is:

[0102]

[0103] The functional subsystem mainly establishes a data analysis model through mathematical models and intelligent algorithms, and transmits the data collected and processed by the mooring balloon sensors to the digital twin model according to the corresponding interfaces to realize the virtual-real mapping of the mooring balloon and the control of the actuator.

[0104] As Figure 9(a) to Figure 9(b) shown, build the control circuit of the cable winch drive motor and set the reference value of the mooring balloon retraction and extension speed. Through the UDP protocol, the external ext transmission component reads the tension value of the mooring cable tension sensor and converts it into torque to be applied to the drive motor to control the retraction and extension of the mooring cable. Part of the historical data of the tension value can also be intercepted for simulation and training.

[0105] Step 3: Model fusion, model inspection and modification: As Figure 8(a) to Figure 8(b) shown, use the rotation support center coordinate system ELCS(S e -o e x e y e z e ) of the mooring equipment to assemble the data-driven model, data analysis model and environmental model of the mooring balloon. And use the data communication module to drive the movement of the mooring balloon digital twin model through the historical data or real-time data of the mooring balloon, and check and modify the digital twin model and digital twin system.

[0106] Final implementation Figure 10 The balloon-borne floating platform digital twin remotely shown.

[0107] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0108] The embodiment of the present invention clarifies the composition types of multi-dimensional digital twin models and the relationship between each model.
