It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0036] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the engine ignition nozzle discharge voltage fault early warning method in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the engine ignition nozzle discharge voltage fault early warning system in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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 some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, a method for early warning of discharge voltage faults in engine ignition nozzles includes:

[0041] Acquire sampling data of the ignition nozzle discharge, including voltage and current signals;

[0042] The sampled data is denoised according to the set filtering rules, which include: using the set transfer function to perform low-pass or band-pass filtering on the sampled data through multiplication and accumulation operations;

[0043] The data after noise reduction is analyzed and processed to obtain various spark performance parameters, including spark energy, ignition voltage, and ignition frequency.

[0044] Each spark performance parameter is used to provide early warning of ignition nozzle faults through a fault prediction model.

[0045] Spark energy is an important indicator for measuring the ignition capability of an ignition nozzle. For example, if the spark energy produced by the ignition nozzle is less than 0.05, it indicates that the ignition capability of the nozzle is relatively weak.

[0046] Voltage requirements: a spark can only be generated when the voltage of the ignition nozzle reaches a preset threshold. For example, when the voltage of the ignition nozzle reaches 10kV to 18kV, the gas insulation layer between the electrodes breaks down, generating the electric arc required for ignition.

[0047] Ignition frequency is also an important performance parameter. For example, a spark frequency of 3.5Hz indicates that the ignition nozzle can generate sparks multiple times in a short period of time, which can improve ignition efficiency and reliability.

[0048] The voltage and current signals of the ignition nozzle discharge are acquired and analyzed to obtain various spark performance parameters. These spark performance parameters are then used to provide early warning of ignition nozzle faults through a fault prediction model, ensuring the performance and safety of the ignition nozzle.

[0049] In some embodiments, the transfer function used when performing low-pass filtering includes: y(k) =

[0050] ay(k-1)+bx(k)-bx(kN).

[0051] In some embodiments, the transfer function used when performing bandpass filtering includes: y(k) =

[0052] ay(k-1)+bx(k)+bx(kN).

[0053] The noise reduction process uses predefined filtering rules to enhance the effective components of the signal, reduce errors caused by environmental factors, and improve the accuracy of fault warning.

[0054] In some embodiments, the fault prediction model includes a machine learning model.

[0055] In some embodiments, training the fault prediction model includes:

[0056] A large number of various spark performance parameters are input into the machine learning model;

[0057] The first loss function is constructed using the performance data of each spark output by the machine learning model and historical failure data.

[0058] The first loss function iteratively updates the parameters of the initial machine learning model until the preset conditions are met, thus obtaining the fault prediction model.

[0059] In some embodiments, the fault warning mechanism includes audio signals, visual signals, and control panel warnings.

[0060] Audio signal refers to the sound warning prompt provided by the preset audio when the fault prediction model outputs that the ignition nozzle is faulty.

[0061] Visual signals refer to the visual warning provided by continuously flashing a preset red light when the fault prediction model outputs that the ignition nozzle is faulty.

[0062] Control panel warning refers to the system that displays fault information on the control panel to alert staff when the fault prediction model outputs a fault in the ignition nozzle.

[0063] Employing multiple early warning mechanisms provides comprehensive fault warnings, enabling staff to quickly identify fault characteristics. By analyzing these characteristics, timely adjustments and maintenance of the ignition system can be made, reducing the failure rate of ignition nozzles, lowering maintenance costs, and improving safety.

[0064] This invention also relates to an engine ignition electrode discharge voltage fault early warning system, referring to... Figure 2 ,include:

The set filtering rule includes: using a set transfer function to perform low-pass filtering or band-pass filtering on the sampled data through multiplication and accumulation operations. The various spark performance parameters include spark energy, ignition voltage, and ignition frequency.

[0069] The fault warning module is used to provide fault warnings for the ignition nozzle based on the fault prediction model for various spark performance parameters.

[0070] In some embodiments, the sampling data acquisition module includes an opto-isolated probe.

[0071] Using an opto-isolated probe to acquire voltage signals can greatly reduce coupling interference and improve the accuracy of voltage signals.

[0072] In some embodiments, the sampling data acquisition module further includes a Rogowski current measurement coil.

[0073] By using a Rogowski current measuring coil to acquire current signals, the circuit under test can be collected without direct contact, which greatly reduces electromagnetic interference and improves the accuracy of the current signal.

[0074] In some embodiments, the data transmission module uses a multi-channel data acquisition card.

[0075] In some embodiments, the calculation control module is a PLC module.

[0076] The working process of the engine ignition electrode discharge voltage fault warning system is as follows:

[0077] The engine ignition nozzle discharge voltage fault early warning system collects the voltage signal of the ignition nozzle discharge through an opto-isolated probe;

[0078] Meanwhile, the engine ignition nozzle discharge voltage fault warning system collects the current signal of the ignition nozzle discharge through the Rogowski current measurement coil;
