Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for diagnosing ion tube faults. Background Technology
[0002] Ion tubes are dielectric barrier discharge devices used in air purification. The operating status of the ion tube is a key factor affecting air purification efficiency. In actual use, ion tube malfunctions are difficult to detect in a timely manner, significantly increasing user concerns about their reliability. To improve equipment reliability, manufacturers of air purification equipment using ion tubes typically increase the frequency of manual maintenance. This increases maintenance and operating costs, and manual maintenance also suffers from high safety risks, low efficiency, and a high rate of misdiagnosis.
[0003] As a typical dielectric barrier discharge device, the Lissajous figure is the main characterization of the ion tube's operating characteristics. The Lissajous figure of an ion tube can be obtained through experimental measurement, and then its fault status can be determined manually. Manual interpretation is generally labor-intensive and prone to subjective errors, and also faces difficulties in batch processing and achieving automation and intelligent fault diagnosis of ion tubes.
[0004] Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) based on deep learning have been widely used in fault classification and diagnosis. By constructing a CNN that matches the characteristics of the object being diagnosed, and then training the network with labeled samples, intelligent fault diagnosis can be achieved. However, constructing a suitable CNN and a suitable sample set for classification are key to designing a CNN-based fault diagnosis method, and the structure, parameters, and training method of the CNN will also affect the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an ion tube fault diagnosis method that is highly reliable and easy to automate and intelligently diagnose ion tube faults.

[0008] S2. Construct a convolutional neural network and train it using a Lissajous figure with classification labels;
[0009] S3. A two-level classification framework is constructed using a trained convolutional neural network to diagnose faults in ion tubes.
[0010] The advantages of this invention are as follows: For the problem of ion tube fault diagnosis, compared with traditional methods, this invention provides a highly reliable ion tube fault diagnosis method that is easy to automate and automates. The method's strengths lie in its use of a two-level classification framework built on a convolutional neural network to classify and identify the Lissajous figures of the ion tubes, thereby obtaining the fault status of the ion tubes. This achieves automated and intelligent fault diagnosis, improving efficiency and accuracy while reducing maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] The flowchart of the ion tube fault diagnosis method of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0022] S1. Based on the Lissajous figure of the ion tube, classify and mark the faults.
[0023] The ion tube refers to a high-energy ion tube used to generate negative ions. It consists of an inner electrode, an outer electrode, and a dielectric material. The outer electrode is a stainless steel mesh, the inner electrode is an aluminum plate, and the dielectric material is 1mm thick quartz glass. The ion tube is cylindrical, with the dielectric material being a closed-structure glass tube. The inner electrode is tightly attached to the inside of the glass tube, and the outer electrode is wrapped around the outside of the glass tube. A high voltage is generated by a power frequency transformer and applied to the inner and outer electrodes to achieve dielectric barrier discharge. The Lissajous figure of the ion tube refers to a closed curve constructed by the amount of charge flowing through the ion tube and the applied voltage during operation. The Lissajous figure directly reflects the key information of the ion tube's state.
[0024] Ion tubes are classified and labeled according to their Lissajous figures. The fault categories include: brand new tubes, breakdown tubes, semi-new tubes, and open tubes. A brand new tube refers to a newly manufactured ion tube. A breakdown tube is one where the glass dielectric has cracked, causing breakdown discharge under high voltage. A semi-new tube is one that has accumulated more than 100 hours of operation and can still function normally. An open tube is one where the top of the glass tube is broken, creating an open space, but the discharge area is not cracked and can still discharge. Lissajous figures are obtained for each of these four types of ion tubes. Figure 2 The Lissajous figure shows a brand new tube, labeled as a brand new tube; Figure 3 The Lissajous figure for the breakdown tube is shown in the diagram and is labeled as the breakdown tube; Figure 4 The Lissajous figure shows a semi-new tube, labeled as a semi-new tube. Figure 5 The Lissajous figure shows an open tube, labeled as an open tube.
[0025] S2. Construct a convolutional neural network and train it using a Lissajous figure with classification labels.
[0026] The constructed convolutional neural network includes two types of LeNet convolutional neural networks. The first type of convolutional neural network performs first-level classification to distinguish between broken tubes and non-broken tubes, where non-broken tubes include brand new tubes, semi-new tubes, and open tubes. The second type of convolutional neural network performs second-level classification to distinguish between brand new tubes, semi-new tubes, and open tubes.
[0027] The first type of convolutional neural network structure is as follows: Figure 6As shown, the structure from input to output includes: input layer, convolutional layer, pooling layer, fully connected layer 1, fully connected layer 2, and output layer. The input layer takes an image of the ion tube as input (Lissajous figure), with an image size of 32×32 pixels. The convolutional layer contains 6 convolutional kernels, each 5×5 in size, and uses the ReLU nonlinear activation function for nonlinear calculation. The pooling layer uses max pooling with a pooling window size of 2×2 to downsample the feature map. Fully connected layer 1 flattens the pooled feature map into a one-dimensional vector. Fully connected layer 2 uses the Softmax activation function to provide fault classification prediction, converting the output into a probability distribution for classification. The output layer outputs a binary classification result: "Breakdown(0)" for a broken tube and "Workable(1)" for a non-broken tube.
[0028] right Figure 6 The first type of convolutional neural network shown was trained using 300 Lissajous figures labeled as broken-down tubes and non-broken-down tubes. The neural network was set up and trained using Keras and TensorFlow, employing the Adam optimizer and classification cross-entropy loss function to train the network and evaluate errors during training. The model's performance was then evaluated on the test set.
[0029] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the second-level classification principle in this invention. The purpose of the second-level classification is to further diagnose the state of the non-breakdown ion tube based on the first-level classification. Therefore, this classification process first normalizes the Lissajous figure of the non-breakdown ion tube, and then... Figure 8 The second type of convolutional neural network shown is used for classification, and the classification results are obtained for open tubes (represented by the number "0"), semi-new tubes (represented by the number "1"), and brand new tubes (represented by the number "2").
[0030] The second type of convolutional neural network structure is as follows: Figure 8As shown, the structure from input to output includes: input layer, convolutional layer 1, pooling layer 1, convolutional layer 2, pooling layer 2, fully connected layer 1, fully connected layer 2, and output layer. The input layer takes an image of the ion tube as Lissajous figure, with a size of 32×32 pixels. Convolutional layer 1 consists of 6 convolutional kernels of size 5×5, which use the ReLU activation function to introduce a nonlinear transformation. Pooling layer 1 uses max pooling to reduce the spatial dimension of the feature map and uses a 2×2 pooling window. Convolutional layer 2 consists of 16 convolutional kernels of size 5×5, which use the ReLU activation function to reduce the interdependence of network model parameters. Pooling layer 2 flattens the obtained feature map into a one-dimensional vector so that it can be input into the fully connected layer. Fully connected layer 1 is used to learn the complex patterns and high-level features of the input data, connecting each neuron of the previous layer to the next layer to complete the classification task. Fully connected layer 2 uses a Softmax classifier to convert the output into a probability distribution for each category. The output layer outputs three categories of non-breakdown ion tubes: open tube "broken(0)", semi-new tube "dirty(1)", and brand new tube "new(2)".
[0031] right Figure 8 The second type of convolutional neural network shown was trained using 200 Lissajous figures labeled as open tubes, semi-new tubes, and novel tubes. The neural network was set up and trained using Keras and TensorFlow, and the Adam optimizer and classification cross-entropy loss function were used to train the network and evaluate the error during the training process. The performance of the model was evaluated on the test set.
[0032] S3. A two-level classification framework is constructed using a trained neural network to diagnose faults in ion tubes.
[0033] A two-level classification framework is constructed using a pre-trained convolutional neural network to classify the Lissajous figures of the ion tubes to be diagnosed. The two-level classification framework is as follows: Figure 9 As shown in the diagram. The specific classification process is as follows: The Lissajous figure of the ion tube to be diagnosed is input into the first type of convolutional neural network for first-level classification, determining whether the ion tube is a breakdown tube. If it is determined to be a breakdown tube, the diagnosis ends; if it is determined to be a non-breakdown tube, it proceeds to the second-level classification. The Lissajous figures of the ion tubes to be diagnosed that have entered the second-level classification are normalized. The normalized Lissajous figures are then input into the second type of convolutional neural network for second-level classification, determining whether the ion tube to be diagnosed is a brand new tube, a semi-new tube, or an open tube. Through the two-level classification framework, the ion tube to be diagnosed is determined to be one of the following: a breakdown tube, a brand new tube, a semi-new tube, or an open tube, thus achieving fault diagnosis of the ion tube.
