[0062] In a specific embodiment, S100: collecting multi-dimensional data of the elevator to be tested and performing pre-processing, including:

[0063] S110: Collecting elevator attribute information of the elevator to be tested;

[0064] S120: Setting a sampling period, and collecting multi-dimensional data of the elevator to be tested based on the sampling period, wherein the multi-dimensional data includes: IoT monitoring information, maintenance information, and inspection and testing information;

[0065] S130: Remove data records with missing values ​​or data that are obviously inconsistent with reality in the multidimensional data, and normalize the remaining data.

[0066] Specifically, elevator attribute information includes basic information such as the elevator model, specifications, manufacturer, installation date, and years of operation.

[0074] The remaining data were normalized.

[0075] Through the above technical solutions, the accuracy and completeness of the data are ensured, and the data is converted into a unified format to facilitate subsequent analysis and modeling.

[0076] In a specific embodiment, constructing a BP neural network model includes: an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer;

[0077] The number of nodes in the input layer is determined according to the number of features of the input data. The number of nodes in the output layer is 1, and the evaluation result of the elevator health status is output. The number of nodes in the hidden layer is obtained according to an empirical formula.

[0078] Specifically, the empirical formula is:

[0079] ;

[0080] in, is the number of hidden layer nodes, is the number of input layer nodes, is the number of output layer nodes, and a is a constant between 1 and 10.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, an overly complex model may lead to overfitting. Therefore, when constructing a GA-BP neural network, it is necessary to select appropriate network structure and parameters to avoid overfitting. Therefore, a genetic algorithm (GA) is used as a strategy to optimize the hyperparameters, weights, and thresholds of the BP neural network model to obtain a GA-BP neural network model, specifically including:

[0082] Real number coding is used to establish the initial population, which consists of four parts: hidden layer threshold, connection weight between hidden layer and output layer, connection weight between input layer and hidden layer, and output layer threshold, as a set of chromosomes;

[0083] Perform selection, crossover and mutation operations of the genetic algorithm to generate the next generation population, calculate the individual fitness values ​​of the new population, and take the minimum value as the optimal value;

[0084] The optimized connection weights and thresholds are introduced into the BP neural network, and the normalized data are used as training samples for repeated training.

[0085] Update the optimized connection weights, thresholds and network structure obtained through training to obtain a GA-BP neural network model;

[0086] The first evaluation result of the elevator health status is obtained based on the GA-BP neural network model.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, the expression for calculating the individual fitness value of the new population is:

[0088] ;

[0089] Where n is the number of nodes in the network output layer, is the actual output of the i-th node; is the expected output of the i-th node.

[0090] By optimizing the initial weights and thresholds of the BP neural network through genetic algorithms, the training efficiency and prediction performance of the neural network can be improved.

[0091] In a specific embodiment, if there are few data samples for certain fault types, the model may have poor recognition ability for these fault types. Therefore, in S300, a logical judgment model is constructed to obtain a second evaluation result of the elevator health status. Based on the real-time collected elevator operation data and the defined logical relationship, a logical judgment is performed to conclude whether the elevator has an abnormality. Specifically, it includes:

[0092] Define logical relationships to determine the health status of elevators;

[0093] Among them, propositions of logical relations include:

[0094] The relationship between normal operation and fault conditions;

[0095] The relationship between maintenance operation and operating status;

[0096] The relationship between emergency electric operation and fault handling;

[0097] The relationship between docking operations and loading and unloading of cargo;

[0098] The relationship between fire operations and fire emergency response;

[0099] As shown in Table 1, the defined logical relationships are organized into a rule base. Based on the rule base, a logical judgment model is obtained. The following rule base can be established to judge the health status of the elevator.

[0100] Table 1 Rule base statistics

[0101]

[0102] Rule base application: Embed a rule base in the elevator health assessment, and automatically trigger corresponding response actions by monitoring the elevator's multi-dimensional information in real time.

[0103] Rule base update: With the continuous advancement of elevator technology and the diversification of fault types, the rule base needs to be updated and improved regularly to ensure its accuracy and effectiveness.

[0104] Through the above steps, a complete set of elevator health status judgment logic and rule library can be established, which is conducive to the assessment of elevator health status and provides strong support for the safe operation and maintenance of elevators.

[0105] In a specific embodiment, the logic judgment model is expressed as P00N AND P00M;

[0106] Among them, P00N and P00M represent the true or false state of any two propositions of logical relationship.

[0107] Specifically, a logical AND operation is used. If there are 0s, the result is 0, and if all 1s are 1s, the result is 1. P00N and P00M represent the truth or falsehood of any two logical relationships between P001-P007 in the table above, that is, logical values ​​of 0 or 1 (1 indicates normal, 0 indicates abnormal). For example, P00NP is P001 = 1, and P00M is P003 = 0. Therefore, if the elevator is operating normally but detects slight noise or vibration, 1AND0 = 0, indicating an abnormality in the elevator's health, it needs to be stopped and switched to emergency electric operation or maintenance mode.

[0108] The logical judgment model in this embodiment is a dual-space model of logical judgments. It is actually a combination of a series of logical rules and judgments used to determine the health of an elevator based on multiple elevator status parameters. These logical rules can be mathematically represented using logical expressions and Boolean algebra, making them easier to understand and calculate. In practical applications, the construction of logical expressions and the selection of parameter values ​​need to be determined based on the specific elevator system and health diagnosis requirements.

[0109] Specifically, the GA-BP neural network model outputs a probability vector and selects the category with the highest probability as .

[0110] The logical judgment model directly outputs the category label (assuming it is 0 or 1)

[0111] In a specific embodiment, S400 includes:

[0112] The binary values ​​output by the logic judgment model are converted into continuous values ​​in the same range as the output of the GA-BP neural network model, for example by mapping 0 to a low score (such as 0) and 1 to a high score (such as 1, or more commonly, a floating point number indicating high confidence, such as 0.9).

[0113] The fusion result is calculated as the final elevator health diagnosis result, and the expression is:

[0114]

[0115] Where, Indicates the final elevator health diagnosis result, represents the first evaluation result of the elevator health status output by the GA-BP neural network model, The second evaluation result of the elevator health status after the logic judgment model is converted, represents the weight of the GA-BP neural network model, Represents the weight of the logical judgment model;

[0116] The fusion results are graded and used as the final elevator health status diagnosis results.

[0117] In a specific embodiment, the grading includes scoring the elevators into five major levels: one, two, three, four, and five, and judging whether there are any problems with the health status of the elevator throughout its life cycle and predicting the risks based on the score levels.

[0118] Through the above steps, the present invention combines the learning and prediction capabilities of a neural network with the intuitiveness and precision of logical judgment to improve the accuracy and efficiency of elevator abnormality diagnosis.

Reference can be made to the common and similar parts between the various embodiments. For the devices disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the method description.
