Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cyber-physical fusion throughout the lifecycle of equipment, and more specifically to a method for cyber-physical fusion throughout the entire lifecycle of complex equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The entire lifecycle of complex equipment involves numerous business activities, generating lifecycle data characterized by inconsistencies, heterogeneity, multiple sources, numerous isolated data points, high levels of noise, and difficulties in data collection. Effectively collecting, organizing, integrating, and fusing this data to form a unified and consistent data system, and processing and mining this complex data, can help solve many common problems such as low R&D efficiency, difficulty in controlling manufacturing quality, and difficulty in reducing operation and maintenance costs. With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and sensing technologies, real-time data collection throughout the entire lifecycle of complex equipment has become possible. Simultaneously, the correlation between network and physical systems enables the effective integration of equipment network data and physical data, forming a Cyber-Physical System (CPS), providing a foundation for data integrity for data integration and consistent representation.

[0003] However, existing research still lacks an effective framework and methodology to guide the application of cyber-physical fusion throughout the entire lifecycle of complex equipment. Regarding the complete representation of data, due to differences in subjects and data types, managing data at each stage of the complex equipment lifecycle presents significant challenges, necessitating an advanced and effective technological tool to collaboratively utilize data from all stages. In terms of constructing a full-lifecycle digital twin model, the sheer volume and variety of data involved in the complete representation of the complex equipment lifecycle, coupled with a lack of theoretical methods for comprehensively utilizing this data, makes the construction of a full-lifecycle digital twin model difficult. Regarding application models based on full-lifecycle cyber-physical fusion, existing research mostly focuses on a single stage of the equipment lifecycle, neglecting the correlation between multi-source data throughout the lifecycle, making it difficult to construct a closed-loop optimization system. Therefore, how to effectively utilize the complete representation of the complex equipment lifecycle, conduct effective multi-source data correlation knowledge mining and fusion, and ultimately achieve continuous closed-loop iterative optimization of the equipment, has become a pressing issue to be addressed.

[0026] Step S5 includes: Step S51: Fusion of sibling node data in the metastructure tree with the model set; Step S52: Fusion of parent and child node data in the metastructure tree with the model; Step S53: Execution and result output of the digital twin application;

[0027] In step S51, all data and models on the metastructure tree are first merged at the same level node. Data within the same node is merged in step S2, and models within the same node are merged in step S3. Intelligent computing and data mining are then performed in step S4 to form a mutual fusion of data and models within the same node.

[0028] In step S52, the data and models associated with each node in the metastructure tree are combined with the data and models of the parent node and the child node. Data combination includes data fusion between parent and child nodes through step S2, while model combination involves model fusion between parent and child nodes through step S3. Then, intelligent computing and data mining are performed through S4 to form a mutual fusion process of data and models between parent and child nodes.

[0029] In step S53, the equipment data system, twin model, and knowledge are taken as input. The existing historical data is used to form a knowledge model expressed by a knowledge graph through state judgment calculation, fault prediction calculation, correlation analysis, and data mining. Then, real-time data is taken as input, and relevant knowledge models are retrieved from the knowledge graph according to the data characteristics for calculation, and performance degradation analysis and life prediction twin applications are performed.

[0030] In step S12, a meta-structure tree is used as an index for the entire lifecycle process data and model to achieve consistent identification of data and model; the specific implementation process of step S12 includes the following steps S121-S124;

[0031] Step S121 defines the meta-structure tree and the complex equipment decomposition structure dimension in S11; where each intermediate node on the meta-structure tree represents the complex equipment that can be further broken down into various subsystems and components; the construction of the minimum node of the meta-structure is the indivisible design component, the minimum assembly and manufacturing unit, and the minimum maintenance unit.

[0032] Step S122 further divides the meta-structure tree into the design meta-structure tree, the manufacturing meta-structure tree, and the operation and maintenance meta-structure tree;

[0033] Step S123 maps the metastructure tree to the bill of materials for the design, manufacturing, and operation and maintenance phases using a coding system;

[0034] Step S124 divides the complex equipment into 6 levels from top to bottom, namely the complete machine level. ​ 4 ​ 1. System layer ​ 4 ​ 2 Subsystem layer ​ 4 ​ 3. Component layer ​ 4 ​ 4. Sub-component layer ​ 4 ​ 5. Component layer ​ 4 ​ 6.

[0035] Step S21 includes steps S211-S217;

[0036] Step S211 defines the data sources for the entire lifecycle of complex equipment, including methods such as manual form filling, on-site data collection, and system generation;

[0037] Step S212 defines the data types to be collected;

[0038] Step S213 defines the data format to be collected;

[0039] Step S214 defines the data format and corresponding acquisition method;

[0040] Step S215 involves organizing the complex equipment's full lifecycle information physical data according to the data dimension composition format defined in step S112, and then combining the design phase dataset { ​ 2 D 1 ​} Divide into design requirement dataset { ​ 2D 1 ​ Design a geometric dataset { ​ 2 D 1 ​ Design a physical dataset { ​ 2 D 1 ​}、Design process dataset{ ​ 2 D 1 ​ Design and analyze datasets { ​ 2 D 1 ​} and design test dataset { ​ 2 D 1 ​};

[0041] Step S216 involves composing the complex equipment's full lifecycle information physical data according to the data dimension format defined in step S112, and then combining the manufacturing stage dataset { ​ 2 D 2 ​} Divided into manufacturing planning dataset { ​ 2 D 2 ​}, Manufacturing resource dataset { ​ 2 D 2 ​ Manufacturing execution dataset { ​ 2 D 2 ​ Manufacturing quality dataset { ​ 2 D 1 ​ Manufacturing cost dataset { ​ 2 D 2 ​};

[0042] Step S217 will process the dataset for the operation and maintenance phase { ​ 2D 3 ​} is divided into operation and maintenance status datasets { ​ 2 D 3 ​}、Operations and Maintenance Fault Dataset{ ​ 2 D 3 ​}、Operation and maintenance historical dataset{ ​ 2 D 3 ​}、Operation and maintenance cost dataset{ ​ 2 D 3 ​}、Operations and Maintenance Plan Dataset{ ​ 2 D 3 ​}、 Operation and maintenance record dataset{ ​ 2 D 3 ​}

[0043] Step S22 includes steps S221-S223;

[0044] In step S221, a meta-dataset is formed. The meta-dataset is a collection of data with a certain purpose or similarity formed by clustering different datasets or subsets.

[0045] Step S222 analyzes the data format and processes the source data through a one-sided algorithm processing set to create standardized static and dynamic meta-datasets from the physical and information spaces.

[0046] Step S223 fuses the metadata dataset by using a set of fusion algorithms to collect, process anomalies, and transform data to create a complete set of complex equipment metadata datasets.

[0047] Step S23 associates the metadata datasets formed in each cycle of complex equipment design, manufacturing, and operation and maintenance with the hierarchical structural points of the equipment structure. The data association algorithm used is the association algorithm in the fusion algorithm set. With the metadata structure tree as the vertical axis, a vertical organization of the datasets with the metadata structure tree as the core is formed within each cycle stage. In the design stage, data vertical fusion is carried out based on the product prototype and the metadata structure tree organization. In the manufacturing stage, data vertical fusion is carried out based on product process planning and production organization. In the operation and maintenance stage, data vertical fusion is carried out based on product status monitoring, maintenance plan, and maintenance process organization.

[0048] Step S24 is based on the coding system built on the metastructure tree after the digital prototype is formed. The mapping algorithm in the fusion algorithm set maps the design stage dataset to the next two cycle stages, forming a horizontal data system with time dimension as the core required by each stage, realizing horizontal data fusion. Horizontal data fusion is carried out from the design stage to the manufacturing stage, and the design data is transferred according to the product model data attached to each node of the metastructure tree. From the manufacturing stage to the operation and maintenance stage, the manufacturing data is transferred according to the manufacturing history attached to each node of the metastructure tree. From the design stage to the operation and maintenance stage, the design and manufacturing data are transferred according to the design and manufacturing history attached to each node of the metastructure tree.

[0049] Step S31 includes steps S311-S317;

[0050] Step S311 defines the composition of the design phase model set, which is the design information model set { in the design phase. ​ 3 M 1 ​ Includes prototype models, requirement models, product models, and process models; design mechanism model set { ​ 3 M 1 ​ Includes motion models, dynamic models, constitutive models, and analytical models; design domain model set { ​ 3 M 1 ​ Includes whole-machine optimization model, component optimization model, and performance improvement model;

[0051] Step S312 defines the composition of the manufacturing stage model set, in which the manufacturing information model set { ​ 3 M 2 ​ Includes process models, cost models, quality models, resource models; manufacturing mechanism model set { ​ 3M 2 ​ Includes production system operation mechanism models, equipment motion, function, and performance models; manufacturing domain model set { ​ 3 M 2 ​ It includes a production system control model, a quality analysis model, and an equipment operation and maintenance model;

[0053] Step S314 defines the design phase model set { ​ 3 M 1 ​ The relationships between the three models contained within};

[0054] Step S315 defines the manufacturing stage model set { ​ 3 M 2 ​ The relationships between the three models contained within};

[0055] Step S316 defines the operation and maintenance phase model set { ​ 3 M 2 ​ The relationships between the three models contained within};

[0056] Step S317 defines the interaction relationships between the three phase model sets.

[0057] Step S33 includes steps S331-S333;

[0058] Step S331: Based on the complex equipment's structural composition, working principle, operating environment, status, and twin application requirements, form an information model, mechanism model, and domain model encompassing the entire lifecycle. Through model classification, form model sets for each stage and type.

[0059] Step S332, based on the application scenarios and needs of twin models, selects the appropriate models from the model set to construct twin models, and forms twin effects through data association between various types of models;

[0060] Step S333 defines the role and process of the twin model in each stage. The twin role and process include design optimization and improvement in the design stage, production quality and production cost control in the manufacturing stage, and fault diagnosis, performance evaluation and analysis, and life prediction of each node in the operation and maintenance stage.

[0061] Step S34 includes steps S341-S343;

[0062] In step S341, during the application of the twin model, the twin model is updated and optimized based on equipment history data analysis and knowledge graph services. Furthermore, for the complex equipment lifecycle business processes and activities, the interaction relationship between twin models is established through the mapping between twin models at different stages.

[0063] Step S342 transfers the model generated in the design phase to the manufacturing phase through the meta-structure tree, and feeds back to the design phase through the role of the manufacturing process to update various models;

[0064] Step S343 maps the manufacturing stage model to the operation and maintenance stage using a mapping algorithm from the model fusion algorithm set;

[0065] Step S344 maps the design phase model to the operation and maintenance phase to understand the performance, remaining lifespan, etc. of each node on the equipment metastructure tree. The results of the operation and maintenance phase twin model will also be fed back to the design phase, forming the demand points for design improvement and driving the closed-loop feedback of the entire life cycle of the complex equipment.

[0066] Step S41 includes step S41;

[0067] In S411, for the model dimension ​ 3 M We mine and extract various model sets of complex equipment in the design, manufacturing and operation and maintenance stages to obtain the data-driven analysis and processing model class knowledge contained in these model sets.

[0068] In S412, association rule knowledge contained in the data is mined and extracted. This type of knowledge comes from the mining of datasets in various fields of equipment and parts.

[0069] In S413, user intent recognition knowledge is mined and extracted from the data. This user intent recognition knowledge comes from the mining of datasets in various fields of equipment and parts, as well as the extraction of unstructured knowledge. User intent recognition knowledge is used to fuzzily identify user intent and return results according to user intent, or to provide proactive push services to users, including word segmentation processing models and intent recognition models.

[0070] In S414, external knowledge acquired through data collection is mined and extracted. This type of knowledge comes from internet data in the field and is obtained through data collection and semi-structured knowledge extraction techniques.

[0071] In S415, knowledge of relevant application software systems is mined and extracted. This type of knowledge comes from the knowledge accumulated by existing software systems at various stages of complex equipment.

[0072] Step S43 includes steps S431-S432

[0073] Step S431 achieves ontology fusion at the ontology level through concept, relation alignment, and relation reasoning. Based on the similarity calculation of knowledge data attributes corresponding to concepts, it infers the connection between concepts and proposes numerical and textual attribute similarity measurement and overall concept similarity measurement algorithms, thereby achieving ontology-level fusion.

[0074] In step S432, the structured attribute similarity and unstructured attribute similarity are weighted and normalized according to the concept overall similarity measurement algorithm in step S431 to obtain the comprehensive similarity. Then, the optimal candidate sequence is generated, and the entity with the highest similarity and greater than the threshold is selected as the entity that can be aligned.

[0075] Step S433 performs knowledge fusion at the knowledge graph data level; based on step S431, a unified knowledge representation model is established using the network ontology language, knowledge graph embedding is achieved through word vectors, and knowledge is stored using a native graph database. For various knowledge sources and features, structured knowledge is integrated from the database management system through D2R transformation, and a BERT+Bilstm-CRF deep learning model is constructed to obtain unstructured text entities.

[0076] Step S44 includes steps S441-S443;

[0077] Step S441 involves sensing the request context of the user's request and obtaining... ​ 4 ​ i ,​ 1 T , ​ 3 M It then determines the scope of complex product domains, segments user requests into words, calculates the corresponding knowledge domains through word vectors, calls domain intent recognition models to identify and transform user intents, queries the knowledge graph or calls model algorithms to obtain query results and visualize them.

[0078] Step S442 performs sensor encoding acquisition and physical sensing stream data analysis on the physical data-driven automatic request service, identifies the context and knowledge domain and obtains the knowledge domain encoding, and then generates the graph query basis, generates the AI ​​model and generates the function interface based on the knowledge domain encoding. Then, it queries the knowledge graph or calls the model algorithm to obtain the query results and displays them visually.

[0080] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0081] (1) In practice, the inventors discovered that existing technologies lack an abstraction method to address the difficulty of linking and integrating the structure, data, models, and various stages of the lifecycle of complex equipment. To address this technical problem, this invention proposes a four-dimensional spatial representation method for the entire lifecycle business activities of complex equipment. It proposes the concept of a four-dimensional space including time dimension, model dimension, data dimension, and decomposition structure dimension. The expression of the decomposition structure dimension is realized through a metastructure tree coding system. With the decomposition structure dimension as the core, the unified association of the other three dimensions of each node is realized, thereby organizing and managing various information physical data, models, and dynamic activities throughout the entire lifecycle of complex equipment in an orderly manner.

[0082] (2) In practice, the inventors discovered that, under the organization of the time dimension, data from each stage and structural nodes different from those of complex equipment together constitute a series of complex equipment lifecycle data. Based on this, a method for constructing a lifecycle data system based on the fusion of the data dimension and the time dimension was proposed. This method involves four steps: lifecycle data acquisition, source data processing, vertical fusion of the data dimension and the structural dimension, and horizontal fusion of the data dimension and the time dimension. These steps form a complete lifecycle data system for complex equipment. Furthermore, a method for horizontal and vertical data fusion was proposed. Vertical data fusion enables the organization of data within each stage, while horizontal data fusion enables the transfer of data between stages.

[0083] (3) In practice, the inventors discovered that complex equipment contains multiple different types of models at each stage of its life cycle, and that models of the same type and different types interact with each other. To address this, the present invention proposes a method for fusing complex equipment life cycle models based on model dimension and time dimension. By defining information model, domain model, mechanism model, and twin model, the models are classified, and the interaction relationships between various types of models are analyzed, thus realizing the fusion of different models throughout the life cycle of complex equipment.

[0084] (4) In practice, the inventors discovered that in the data system of the entire life cycle of complex equipment, data at each stage and in each dimension are interconnected and influence each other, continuously accumulating to form experience and knowledge. Therefore, this invention proposes a knowledge mining, fusion, and service method for twin applications. It outputs knowledge through data mining, knowledge extraction, ontology modeling, and ontology fusion, and then provides knowledge services for various types of twin applications through knowledge reasoning. This process indicates how to combine data, models, and metastructure trees through knowledge graphs in four-dimensional space to achieve twin applications.

[0085] (5) In practice, the inventors discovered that the fusion of structural dimension, time dimension, model dimension and data of complex equipment provides an effective means for digital twin applications. To this end, this invention proposes a digital twin application based on the multi-dimensional fusion of data dimension, structural dimension and model dimension, and defines the input, output and algorithm set application paradigm of complex equipment digital twin application in four-dimensional space, providing a new approach to solving problems such as performance degradation analysis and fault diagnosis at each stage of the entire life cycle of complex equipment.
