Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of air-conditioning control, and in particular to a commercial inspection data analysis method and system suitable for air-conditioning. Background Art

[0002] Commodity inspection is the last comprehensive test that air-conditioning products undergo before leaving the factory, and it is also one of the most important links in the quality inspection process. The commodity inspection process for air-conditioning outdoor units is to send the outdoor units to be tested on each AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) to a special commodity inspection room in turn, connect them to the test indoor units, and complete the operation test under specific working conditions and for a specific duration. In this process, the measured values ​​of multiple parameters of the model product are obtained through real-time communication with the test machine and multiple sensor devices and instruments; then the system compares the measured values ​​with the upper and lower limit specifications of each parameter to complete the quality measurement of each outdoor unit. After a long period of recording in the commodity inspection system, the staff obtained a large data set of the commodity inspection process for this model product, which includes the barcode, AGV number, test time, test conditions, production line power parameters, operating parameters of each working condition, test results, etc. of each tested machine. Such detailed big data provides an analytical basis for the "smart transformation and digital transformation" and quality improvement of air-conditioning companies. With the advent of the era of digital production and big data, a series of analysis and processing of massive production big data for the purpose of "improving quality and increasing efficiency" has become increasingly important. However, due to the wide range and diverse content of SPC (Statistical Process Control) in the production process, there is currently no process control method specifically for the air-conditioning commercial inspection process in the industry. Therefore, it is urgent to combine actual needs and summarize a set of analysis systems and methods suitable for the big data of the air-conditioning commercial inspection process, so as to timely understand the quality of the key processes of the production line, effectively improve production efficiency, and enable staff to promptly discover the hidden dangers and risks hidden behind the data, thereby accelerating the intelligent manufacturing and new quality productivity level of the company's air-conditioning products.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a universal intelligent commodity inspection data analysis system according to the present invention;

[0023] Figure 2It is a visualized line graph of the air inlet temperature Tin, the exhaust temperature Tdis, and the compressor temperature Tcomp during a specific period of time in the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the commercial inspection data analysis system suitable for air conditioners described in the present invention includes a data acquisition board, a commercial inspection machine, a processor and a display; the data acquisition board is used to collect the three-phase voltage, three-phase current, power, air inlet temperature, air outlet temperature, indoor ambient temperature, exhaust temperature, outdoor coil temperature, outdoor coil pressure, compressor module temperature, compressor frequency, fan speed of the air conditioner compressor under heating conditions collected by the commercial inspection machine through a program, and the maximum value, average value, median value, mode, variance, Sigma, Aver±1*Sigma, Aver±2*Sigma, Aver±3*Sigm and other corresponding values ​​of the above parameters are transmitted to the main processor. The main processor analyzes the above operating parameters and calculates the process precision of each corresponding operating parameter respectively. Process Capability Index Among them, USL is the upper limit value allowed for the operating parameters under the corresponding cooling condition or heating condition, and LSL is the lower limit value allowed for the operating parameters under the corresponding cooling condition or heating condition. When the calculated process capability index Cpk is less than the first set value, the quality control personnel are reminded to adjust the threshold value of the operating parameters under the corresponding cooling condition or heating condition. When the calculated process capability index Cpk is less than the second set value, the quality control personnel are reminded to stop the production task of the production line, wherein the second set value is less than the first set value; the main processor simultaneously obtains the proportion of the number of air conditioners in the range of [Aver-2*Sigma, Aver+2*Sigma] for the operating parameters under the cooling condition and heating condition that conform to the normal distribution, and calculates the Sigma level of the commercial inspection process within the set time period as follows: Z≈3×Cpk, so as to timely understand the overall process quality of each time period and the parameter deviation of each single machine. The display displays the analysis results of the above operating parameters. This embodiment takes the commercial inspection process of a certain brand of 1.5P variable frequency hanging outdoor unit as an example. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the data acquisition board uses a single-chip microcomputer as the main MCU, and completes two-way communication with the main processor, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner under test, and the production line pressure gauge, power monitor and other instruments through three-way Modbus serial port communication. The display uses a 24-27-inch IPS touch screen panel with a wide viewing angle. Due to the analysis task of large data sets, higher stability and security are required, and long-term operation and high-load environment are supported. Therefore, the main processor uses Intel Core i7 main chip, Windows Server operating system, 16GB or 32GB memory configuration, and through its built-in dedicated data analysis program, the following analysis and processing is performed on the commodity inspection data from 9:00 to 11:30 on a certain weekday morning.

[0025] The operating parameters of the air conditioner under cooling and heating conditions in a specific time period are collected respectively, mainly including the three-phase voltage (Ua, Ub, Uc), three-phase current (Ia, Ib, Ic), power (P), air inlet temperature (Tin), air outlet temperature (Tout), indoor ambient temperature (Troom), exhaust temperature (Tdis), external coil temperature (Tcoil), pressure (Press), compressor temperature (Tcomp), compressor frequency (Fcomp), and fan speed (FanSpeed) of the air conditioner under cooling and heating conditions. The line graphs of air inlet temperature (Tin), exhaust temperature (Tdis) and compressor temperature (Tcomp) in heating mode are shown in the following figure: Figure 2 As shown. The above operating parameters are preprocessed, mainly including the removal of obviously abnormal data in the current and temperature data and the filling of missing data, including the use of the average, mode and median to supplement individual missing data, and the use of interpolation to fill in parameters such as temperature and pressure that are suitable for time series or linear data sets. After preprocessing the above parameters, the maximum value, Aver, median, mode, Sigma, variance, and upper and lower limits of Aver±1*Sigma, Aver±2*Sigma, and Aver±3*Sigma corresponding to each parameter are calculated respectively.

[0026] Calculate the precision of the above parameters inspection process during this period and process capability index Among them, USL is the upper limit value allowed by the parameter, and LSL is the lower limit value allowed by the parameter. The larger the Cp, the better the technical capability of the process. When the calculated process capability index is lower than the first set value, the system reminds the quality control personnel of the production line to adjust the relevant thresholds. If the calculated process capability index is lower than the second set value, the system will immediately issue an alarm to remind the quality control personnel to stop the line as soon as possible for rectification and check the processing.

[0027] Statistical calculations are performed on parameters that conform to or basically conform to the normal distribution, such as Ia, Tin, Tdis, Tcomp, Icomp, etc., to obtain the percentage of air conditioners within the range of [Aver-2*Sigma, Aver+2*Sigma] within the time period.

[0028] Get the Sigma level of the commodity inspection process during this period, that is, the Z value. The higher the Z value, the better the process quality and the lower the defect rate. To simplify the calculation process, it is assumed that the parameters of the commodity inspection process follow a normal distribution, and the Z value is estimated according to the following formula: Z≈3×Cpk.

[0029] Draw scatter plots and histograms for important parameters and the average output, qualified rate (yield rate), and rework rate during the analysis period. The horizontal axis of the scatter plot uses the detection time or machine barcode, and the vertical axis is the parameter value. The scatter plot can intuitively understand the discreteness of important parameters in the production of the day; the horizontal axis of the histogram is the parameter value, and the vertical axis is the number of occurrences. The histogram can be used to promptly discover abnormal fluctuations in the process and take corresponding measures. The histogram can also be used to compare the distribution of two or more parameter sets to understand the differences between them, which helps analysts find the commonalities and differences between them and provide clues for solving quality problems in the process.

[0030] Extract the barcodes of air conditioner products with three or more operating parameters reaching the limit value for record keeping so as to compare with after-sales maintenance data in the future, so as to further understand the correlation between the calibration machine and subsequent maintenance failure conditions.

[0031] In order to analyze and display commodity inspection data on a digital large screen, the above analysis and processing can be summarized. In addition to the chart presentation, it also includes whether the quality control requirements are met; whether there are machines with large parameter dispersion under multiple working conditions, and the cumulative number of times to capture machines with potential failure risks; whether it is necessary to adjust the parameter limit value to meet quality control while ensuring production efficiency, etc. It is summarized in a report together with the visual chart and presented.

[0032] Based on the content and duration of the summary, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual summaries can be conducted respectively, and the summary data can be formulated into scatter plots and histograms.
