Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of airtightness testing technology for aviation piping systems, and particularly to a method, system, and equipment for classifying leakage levels of aviation piping joints. Background Technology

[0002] Aircraft component piping systems are characterized by their numerous, scattered, long, and complex nature, containing thousands of connecting pipes exceeding 1000 meters in length, with intricate spatial structures and diverse connection methods. Under the combined effects of various airworthiness loads, these piping systems are prone to leaks. Traditional methods for detecting leaks in aviation piping, such as visual inspection and pressure testing, while commonly used, have limitations when dealing with the complex piping systems of modern aerospace engineering. The most significant drawback is the difficulty in quantitatively classifying leak points. Visual inspection can only detect obvious external signs of leaks, such as drips or corrosion marks, but cannot quantify the severity of the leak. Similarly, pressure testing can only indicate the presence of a leak, but cannot provide detailed information on the leak rate or leakage magnitude. This lack of information hinders the determination of repair and maintenance priorities, potentially leading to wasted resources or overlooking potentially hazardous leaks.

[0003] The internal pressure of aircraft piping is higher than the external air pressure. If a leak occurs, the ejected medium often has a high Reynolds number due to the small size of the leak, thus creating turbulence. The sound waves generated by this turbulence near the leak have frequencies greater than 20kHz, and these ultrasonic signals can be captured by ultrasonic sensors. Existing techniques have provided mechanistic analyses of the sound generation principles and source characteristics during leaks and performed aeroacoustic simulations of the sound wave field, but no method has been found to quantitatively determine or automatically classify the relationship between the leakage rate and the ultrasonic signal. Summary of the Invention

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] To overcome the deficiency of existing pipeline testing methods in lacking leakage rate classification functionality, this invention provides a method, system, and equipment for classifying leakage levels of aviation pipeline joints.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the leakage level classification method for aviation pipeline joints provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0036] S1: Conduct multiple sets of pipeline leakage experiments and collect ultrasonic signals of leaked gas under different leakage levels.

[0037] To obtain ultrasonic signals of leaked gas at different leakage levels, this invention discloses an aircraft pipeline leak test bench, which includes a leaking pipeline, gas source, air filter, pressure regulator, and pressure gauge. Figure 5 Assemble as shown. Place the SoundCam Ultra acoustic camera horizontally directly in front of the leak hole, 0.2m away. The acoustic camera uses a high-performance ultrasonic sensor with a sensitivity of -45dB and a frequency range of 20–20000Hz. The sampling frequency of the acquisition system is 44kHz, and the single sampling time is 5s.

[0038] By manually adjusting the size of the standard leak hole, the leakage rate under different leakage conditions is simulated. By gradually reducing the leakage rate, different stages of pipeline leakage are simulated, and corresponding ultrasonic signals are collected.

[0039] Because 72 microphone sensors record data simultaneously during the sampling process, 72 sets of data are collected in a single experiment for the same leak.

[0040] S2: Perform time-frequency segmented two-dimensional feature fusion on the ultrasonic signal.

[0041] To better uncover leakage features in ultrasonic signals and improve classification accuracy, this invention first constructs a time-frequency segmented two-dimensional feature fusion method, which stacks the time-domain signal with the squared envelope spectrum to form a two-dimensional input.

[0042] Step S2 specifically includes:

[0043] S21: In ultrasound signal x i The length f is extracted from (t)(i∈N). s / 2, where f s The sampling frequency.

[0044] S22: Construct a bandpass filter h(n) based on a fourth-order Butterworth filter, with a lower cutoff frequency f. l =50kHz, upper cutoff frequency f l =70KHz.

[0045] S23: Using h(n) to analyze the ultrasonic signal x i (t) is filtered, and the filtered signal x' is calculated. i SES (square envelope spectrum of t) i (f), the formula is as follows:

[0046]

[0047] Where H represents the Hilbert transform, F represents the Fourier transform, and n is the number of sampling points.

[0048] S24: Perform two-dimensional concatenation of the time-domain and squared envelope spectra of N ultrasound signals to obtain a two-dimensional matrix M.i .

[0049] This invention can simultaneously capture different aspects of ultrasound signals in both the time and frequency domains. The time-domain representation reflects the characteristics of the signal as it changes over time, while the squared envelope spectrum representation provides the signal's components at different frequencies. Combining these two representations provides more diverse and comprehensive information, helping the grading model better understand the signal. Furthermore, the time-domain representation may be more sensitive to noise, while the squared envelope spectrum representation can distinguish between signal and noise at different frequency bands. By considering both representations simultaneously, the leak rate grading model can more effectively reduce the impact of noise and improve robustness.

[0050] S3: Construct a leak rate classification model; the leak rate classification model includes a Transformer feature extraction module and a multi-sphere support vector data description classification module.

[0051] To learn the mapping relationship from the time-frequency segmented 2D feature fusion matrix to the final task output in an end-to-end manner, a leak rate hierarchical model is built, including a Transformer feature extraction module and a multi-sphere support vector data description classification module, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the model can automatically learn how to extract useful features from the raw signal without requiring manual design of a feature extractor.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, the Transformer feature extraction module adopts a ViT structure, which includes four parts:

[0053] 1) Linear Projective Layer Transformation. Preferably, the linear projective layer transformation divides the input two-dimensional matrix into 128×128 patches, each patch having dimensions of 128×128×1=16384. Each image will generate (N×f) s / 2) / (128×128) patches, the input after passing through the linear projection layer has a dimension of (N×f) s There are 128×128)×16384 tags, each with a dimension of 16384. Additionally, a leakage rate level label is added, so the final dimension is (N×f) / (128×128)×16384. s / 2) / (128×128)×16385.

[0054] 2) Location information embedding. Preferably, the location information embedding layer needs to add location encoding to the output features, and the encoding is added through the SUM function.

[0055] 3) Multi-head attention mechanism. Preferably, the multi-head self-attention layer considers the relationship between different positions within the input sequence when calculating attention weights, thus forming a self-attention mechanism.

[0056] 4) Multilayer perceptron. Preferably, the multilayer perceptron has 5 layers, and the activation function is ReLU. The number of neurons in the output layer is 256.

[0057] To optimize feature extraction performance, this invention utilizes a ViT structure to construct a Transformer feature extraction module. The ViT structure extracts and organizes features through a series of layers of processing, including embedding, attention, and feedforward neural networks. Through a self-attention mechanism, it captures the dependencies between features globally.

[0058] The Transformer feature extraction module uses a self-attention mechanism to calculate the attention weights between each position in the input sequence and other positions. This allows the model to focus on the correlations between different positions in the input sequence, thereby capturing the correlations between signals in the time and frequency domains. This is crucial for understanding long-range dependencies in ultrasound signal time-series data.

[0059] Generally, increasing model depth can improve the model's expressive power, but it also increases computation and training difficulty; the ViT layer count is 3. Multi-head attention allows the model to focus on different feature subspaces, thereby improving the model's representational power; the ViT attention head count is 16. Embedding dimension defines the feature dimension of the input matrix in the model, which is determined according to the size of the input matrix. Batch size determines the number of images processed by the model in one iteration; the batch size is 128.

[0060] The multi-sphere support vector data description and classification module takes the features extracted by the Transformer feature extraction module as input, and includes a fully connected layer and n hyperspheres, where n corresponds to the number of leakage levels. Preferably, the number of leakage levels is n = 4. The multi-sphere support vector data description and classification module uses the k-means algorithm to determine the center position of each hypersphere. During the training of the leakage rate grading model, the hyperparameters of the Transformer feature extraction module and the multi-sphere support vector data description and classification module are adjusted using the cross-entropy loss function. Preferably, the ultrasound data and the output data of the leakage rate grading model are visualized using t-SNE.

[0061] The output of the Transformer feature extraction module is input into the multi-sphere deep support vector data description module. This module combines support vector data description and the multi-sphere method to reduce the adverse effects of many redundant and irrelevant features on classification learning when dealing with classification problems in high-dimensional data. It learns a compact representation of the data using the k-means algorithm, thereby highlighting key features in the signal. Classification is achieved by mapping data points to different spheres. The multi-sphere model exhibits better adaptability on different datasets, improving the model's generalization performance under complex data conditions.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the features are first activated by the ReLU function and then passed through a max pooling layer. Using the center positions of each class in the k-means function as the centers of the hyperspheres, the volume of the entire hypersphere is calculated, and the optimization objective is to minimize this volume.

[0063] S4: Train the leakage rate classification model based on the two-dimensional features.

[0064] This invention, through a thorough analysis of the pipeline leakage process, selects ultrasonic signal data to indirectly reflect the leakage state, further establishes a mapping relationship between the data and the leakage level, and trains the model based on this.

[0065] S5: The ultrasonic signals of leaks in aviation pipeline joints are classified using a trained leak rate classification model to determine the leak level.

[0066] The model is deployed on an edge computing device, using real-time ultrasonic signals measured by an acoustic camera as input, and outputting the pipeline leakage level at that location, typically from level one to four, i.e., 5 × 10⁻⁶. -3 MPa (Level 1), 9×10 -3 MPa (Level II), 5×10 -2 MPa (Level III), 5×10 -1 MPa (Level 4) represents four leakage levels, ranging from minor to severe.

[0067] After obtaining the classification results, appropriate actions are taken based on the severity of the leak. For Level 1 or 2 leaks, preventative maintenance measures can be taken, while for Level 4 or 5 leaks, immediate emergency repair measures are required to prevent potential aircraft safety risks.

[0068] Compared with existing technologies, the leak rate classification model provided by this invention can automatically learn the leak-related features in ultrasonic monitoring data and significantly improve the accuracy of different leak rate classifications.

[0069] Another beneficial effect of this invention is that, in response to the problems of lack of pipeline leakage monitoring methods and unclear leakage status assessment standards in aircraft pipeline sealing tests, this invention can divide the leakage point into different leakage stages according to the leakage pressure, obtain ultrasonic data of different stages to form a pipeline leakage ultrasonic signal dataset, establish a quantitative leakage assessment criterion, and then reflect the leakage status through ultrasonic data of different leakage levels, providing data support for the training and testing of leakage rate classification models.

[0070] Another beneficial effect of the present invention is that, through the monitoring indicators provided by the present invention, namely ultrasonic data and ultrasonic signal acquisition method, and combined with the leak rate classification model of the present invention, continuous and real-time monitoring of the sealing performance of the entire aircraft piping can be achieved.
