Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of factory safety, and more specifically, relates to a factory safety inspection method, equipment and medium based on digital twins. Background Art

[0002] Factory safety inspections are mainly conducted through regular inspections by security inspectors and irregular spot checks by superior inspection departments. A dial is placed at the inspection site or equipment. When the security inspector arrives at a place, he or she turns the dial to point to the inspection time. Another method is to record the inspection situation by throwing a slip of paper. The security inspector puts the slip of paper with the inspection time written on it into a cardboard box. The superior department then conducts spot checks on the inspection situation of the security inspector. This traditional industrial safety inspection method is dangerous, difficult to supervise, and difficult to leave traces.

[0003] Digital twins are based on models and data, and through methods such as multidisciplinary coupled simulation, they complete the precise mapping of physical entities in the real world to mirrored digital models in the virtual world, so as to achieve the synchronous presentation of the state of physical entities in the digital space.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN114815757A discloses a virtual inspection method for digital twins of cement plants, which includes the following steps: (1) 3D modeling: using 3D modeling software, a virtual plant model is constructed at a 1:1 ratio; (2) operation and maintenance system construction: an operation and maintenance system with a good interactive interface is constructed. The hardware required for the operation and maintenance system construction is an interactive terminal, a server, and an operating system, and the software is a platform for realizing virtual inspection; (3) interface development: the data involved in the virtual inspection comes from multiple business modules in the operation stage of the cement plant, including video surveillance, DCS, and digital assets. Relevant data is obtained from each business module through the interface; (4) data processing: the data obtained from each business module through the interface is processed; Classify the various types of data obtained by the business module; (5) Data association: Based on the equipment number as the basis for data association, integrate the data pointing to the same equipment number; (6) Inspection route drawing: In the three-dimensional virtual scene, draw the inspection route according to the pre-set equipment to be inspected and the inspection order, and bind the equipment and equipment data to be inspected in the route; (7) Data binding: Specify the equipment to be inspected along the route and the inspection items to be checked; (8) Inspection start: After the inspection is started, roam along the specified route in the virtual three-dimensional scene from a first-person perspective; (9) Generate report: When the inspection reaches the end of the route, click "Generate inspection report" and the system will automatically generate an inspection report. Although this method realizes virtual inspection based on digital twins, its core is to collect real-time data in business systems such as DCS and display it in the form of digital twins. In fact, it only transfers the traditional data dashboard to the digital twin system, and cannot detect real-time images, temperatures, and gas concentrations inside and outside the factory, especially at high altitudes outside.

[0005] Chinese patent document CN116311023A discloses a method and system for equipment inspection based on 5G communication and virtual reality, which includes: collecting RGB-D image data; using YOLOv3 for target detection and tracking and positioning according to the ASMS algorithm to generate targets with semantic information; using the generative adversarial network GAN algorithm to repair the depth image; optimizing the pose of the three-dimensional scene model through the three-dimensional reconstruction BundleFusion algorithm; combining the target with semantic information with the three-dimensional scene model into a three-dimensional digital factory model through coordinate position conversion. The invention realizes the digital twin factory based on 5G communication and virtual reality technology, uses 5G communication technology to provide real-time data transmission, and uses virtual reality technology to reflect equipment monitoring and inspection work in a three-dimensional intuitive form, establishes a knowledge base of equipment faults, conducts intelligent technology research and judgment, and realizes intelligent equipment management and fault inspection. Although this method includes digital twins, its core points and focus are: based on technologies such as 5G communication machine YOLOv3, the data generated by the inspection is processed into a digital twin model. It is impossible to achieve unmanned, automated, and intelligent real-time multi-factor detection inside and outside the factory based on the completed digital twin model.
