The combination of sensor networks and edge computing has realized real-time multimodal data collection and analysis of equipment status, significantly enhancing the reliability and economy of operation.

[0003] However, there are challenges in the current predictive maintenance system. The complexity of multimodal data requires efficient data fusion technology, but the existing methods have limited ability to integrate information, which affects the effect of feature extraction and model training. The component classification assessment does not fully consider the environment, load and aging factors, and the prediction accuracy is limited. In addition, the dynamic threshold adjustment and maintenance strategy formulation rely on fixed rules and lack flexibility and intelligence. Therefore, an innovative component classification determination method is urgently needed. It combines deep learning and integrated learning, uses multimodal data to accurately evaluate the health status of components, intelligently adjusts dynamic thresholds, and promotes the upgrade of predictive maintenance to autonomous intelligence. It introduces feature conversion functions and multimodal deep residual sequence integrated prediction models, coupled with a dynamic threshold adjustment mechanism, to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of determination, and to safeguard the safety and economic benefits of nuclear power plants.

[0017]

[0018] Where x represents the difference between the bounding box parameters of the neural network model and the true bounding box parameters. The total loss function in the Faster R-CNN algorithm is expressed as,

[0019] L=L cls +λL bbox

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1, reference Figure 1, which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a management method for effectively determining the quality assurance level of spare parts in a nuclear power plant, which is characterized by:

[0038] S1: Collect quality history data of spare parts.

[0039] Quality history data includes the service life and failure rate of spare parts.

[0040] S2: Automated inspection and analysis of spare parts using image recognition;

[0041] Image recognition includes collecting image data of spare parts through a camera and pre-processing the collected images using image processing technology.

[0042] S3: Build a neural network model.

[0043] Building a neural network model includes inputting the preprocessed spare parts image into the neural network model, analyzing the spare parts image through the ResNet deep CNN architecture, and identifying defects on the spare parts surface through the Faster R-CNN algorithm.

[0044] The target classification loss in the Faster R-CNN algorithm is expressed as,

[0045]

[0046] Among them, p i represents the probability that the candidate box i belongs to the target category, Represents the true category label.

[0047] The bounding box regression loss in the Faster R-CNN algorithm is expressed as,

[0048]

[0049] Among them, t i represents the bounding box parameters predicted by the network, represents the true bounding box parameters, Represents the loss function, which is specifically expressed as,

[0050]

[0051] Where x represents the difference between the bounding box parameters of the neural network model and the true bounding box parameters. The total loss function in the FasterR-CNN algorithm is expressed as,

[0052] L=L cls +λL bbox

[0053] Here, λ represents the balance factor.

[0054] The neural network model performs defect detection on the spare part surface to obtain detection data.

[0055] The present invention adopts the deep CNN architecture of ResNet and Faster R-CNN to provide an accurate image analysis and defect detection solution. ResNet can extract the deep features of the image to help the model better understand the tiny details of the spare parts image, while Faster R-CNN ensures the accurate positioning of the surface defects of the spare parts through its target classification loss and bounding box regression loss function. Specifically, the target classification loss of Faster R-CNN is used to determine the category of the detection area, and the bounding box regression loss measures the difference between the predicted box and the real box. The final total loss function combines the results of the two to achieve accurate defect detection. The advantage of this step is that the automatic detection of surface defects through neural networks not only greatly improves the accuracy of detection, but also provides objective data support for the dynamic adjustment of subsequent quality assurance levels.

[0056] S4: Establish a dynamic evaluation mechanism to re-evaluate the warranty level based on the historical data and test data of spare parts.

[0057] Re-evaluating the warranty level includes setting evaluation indicators and assigning weights, standardizing the service life and failure rate data to the range of 0-1, outputting the defect information score based on the inspection data, deriving a comprehensive score based on the service life, failure rate data and defect information score, and dividing the spare parts into different warranty levels based on the comprehensive score.

[0058] In the evaluation mechanism, the present invention introduces multiple methods such as standardization, weighted scoring and dynamic adjustment. First, the service life and failure rate data are standardized to the range of 0-1, so that data of different dimensions can be compared. Secondly, the score is generated according to the defect detection data, and the comprehensive score is calculated by weighted calculation. The comprehensive score reflects the overall quality status of the spare parts, thereby dividing the spare parts into different warranty levels. The advantage of the dynamic evaluation mechanism is that it can adjust the warranty level in real time, respond to the latest changes in the spare parts status, and improve the scientificity and flexibility of spare parts warranty management.

[0060] The data acquisition module 100 is responsible for acquiring image data of the spare parts.

[0061] The image preprocessing module 200 preprocesses the collected spare part image data.

[0062] The neural network detection module 300 analyzes the preprocessed image through a deep learning model to detect defects on the surface of the spare parts.

[0063] The defect detection and classification module 400 classifies the defects on the surface of the spare parts according to the results output by the neural network detection module.

[0064] The quality assurance level assessment module 500 calculates a comprehensive score by a weighted method based on standardized historical data and defect detection scores, and divides the quality assurance level according to the score.
