Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear power plant dredging, and in particular to a nuclear power plant flow channel joint dredging robot applying an image recognition algorithm. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of nuclear power plants, a large amount of silt and debris often accumulates in the flow channels, which not only affects the patency of the flow channels, but may also cause equipment failure and safety hazards. Currently, dredging operations mostly rely on manual operations, which are not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also involve high operational risks. Especially in narrow and complex flow channel environments, traditional dredging methods are difficult to ensure the thoroughness and accuracy of dredging. Therefore, the development of an automated and intelligent dredging robot that can efficiently and accurately complete the dredging task in the flow channel while ensuring safety has important practical significance and application value.

[0011] A method for desilting a flow channel of a nuclear power plant using an image recognition algorithm and a robot, the method comprising the following steps:
[0012] S11: Use laser radar technology to locate the robot in the flow channel in real time, and plan the optimal movement path based on the positioning results;
[0013] S12: transmitting the planned moving path instruction to the drive control module, and the drive control module controls the robot to move along the planned moving path according to the moving path instruction;
[0014] S13: When the robot moves on the moving path, a high-resolution camera installed at the front end of the robot is used to collect images in the flow channel in real time;
[0015] S14: collecting the acquired image data, and comparing and analyzing the image data with a preset silt and debris recognition model to identify the location of the silt and debris in the flow channel;
[0016] S15: Execute the dredging process: start the dredging operation device in the dredging operation system, and use the multifunctional mechanical arm to manipulate the dredging tool to clean and collect the identified silt and debris;

If the check fails, the dredging process of step S15 is repeated until the test is qualified;
[0018] S17: After the dredging inspection is completed, steps S12 to S16 are repeated until the robot moves to the end of the planned moving path;
[0019] Furthermore, in step S11, the robot movement path is planned by:

[0036] Where K is the dredging inspection coefficient, α1 and α2 are preset weight coefficients, satisfying α1+α2=1; M h is the area of silt and debris in the silt and debris position image after dredging, L h is the perimeter of the silt and debris area in the silt and debris position image after dredging;
[0037] By comparing the silt removal inspection coefficient with the set silt removal inspection threshold, when the silt removal inspection coefficient is less than the set silt removal inspection threshold, it is determined that the silt removal effect is good, otherwise the silt removal operation in step S15 is repeated.
[0038] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0092] S24: providing the rendered simulated three-dimensional model to the user, and repeating steps S21 to S23 to update the simulated three-dimensional model each time new historical dredging data is obtained;
[0093] Furthermore, in step S23, the divergence area and the divergence color intensity on each centroid position coordinate are determined by calculating the divergence index of each centroid position coordinate; the specific calculation method of the divergence index is as follows:
[0094]
[0095] Among them, S i is the divergence index of the coordinates of a centroid position in the i-th historical desilting data. The larger i is, the closer the desilting data is to the current time. γ is a preset adjustment parameter with a value range of (0, 0.5).
[0096] Furthermore, the divergence area is determined by the following formula:
[0097] A i = k·S i ;
[0098] Among them, A i is the divergence area of the coordinates of a centroid position in the i-th historical desilting data, k is the mapping proportional constant, which is determined according to the pre-experimental determination;

[0102] This embodiment constructs a simulated three-dimensional model of the nuclear power plant flow channel and uses historical dredging data analysis to render the simulated three-dimensional model, so that the staff can intuitively view the silt accumulation in the flow channel; by calculating the divergence index of the silt debris area, the divergence area and the divergence color intensity are determined, so that the visualization of the accumulation situation is more accurate and detailed; the simulated three-dimensional model can not only help the staff identify areas prone to accumulation and optimize dredging strategies, but also provide an important basis for the repair and maintenance of the flow channel.

4. The method for desilting a nuclear power plant flow channel using an image recognition algorithm and a robot according to claim 2, characterized in that: In step S14, the identification of sludge and debris in the flow channel is completed in the following manner: S141: Acquire an image in the flow channel, and perform a preprocessing operation on the acquired image; the preprocessing operation includes image denoising and image enhancement processing; S142: Compare the preprocessed image with a preset silt and debris recognition model to quickly and preliminarily detect areas where silt and debris exist; the silt and debris recognition model is specifically a model obtained by training with a large amount of labeled silt and debris image data; the specific process of the rapid preliminary detection meets the following requirements: The preprocessed image is divided into multiple detection areas, and for each detection area, the following is performed: Among them, F d is a feature vector set of a certain detection area, wherein the feature vectors in the feature vector set include shape feature vectors, texture feature vectors and color feature vectors; F m is the feature vector set in the sludge debris recognition model; Sim(F d ,F m ) is the feature matching degree between a certain detection area in the image and the silt debris recognition model, and a matching degree threshold is set. When the feature matching degree between a certain detection area and the silt debris recognition model is higher than the matching degree threshold, it is marked that the detection area has silt debris; S143: When an area with silt and debris is detected, the robot stops moving and adjusts the angle of the camera so that the camera can focus and obtain an image of the center position of the silt and debris area; the specific implementation process is as follows: S1431: Detect the edge of the silt and debris by using an edge detection algorithm, and control the position and direction of the camera to slowly turn to the edge of the silt and debris; calculate the rate of increase of edge pixels of the image newly entering the camera range during the camera rotation process, and when the rate of increase of edge pixels is lower than the set rate of increase threshold, stop the rotation of the camera; S1432: re-detecting the silt and debris area within the camera's field of view, calculating the centroid position of the silt and debris area, and aligning the camera center with the centroid position to obtain a center position image of the silt and debris area; S144: Calculate the edge and shape features of the silt and debris area based on the center position image of the silt and debris area, so as to guide the subsequent dredging process.
5. The method for desilting a nuclear power plant flow channel using an image recognition algorithm and a robot according to claim 2, characterized in that: In the step S16, the desilting effect is checked by: K=α1·M h +α2·L h ; Where K is the dredging inspection coefficient, α1 and α2 are preset weight coefficients, satisfying α1+α2=1; M h is the area of silt and debris in the silt and debris position image after dredging, L h is the perimeter of the silt and debris area in the silt and debris position image after dredging; By comparing the silt removal inspection coefficient with the set silt removal inspection threshold, when the silt removal inspection coefficient is less than the set silt removal inspection threshold, it is determined that the silt removal effect is good, otherwise the silt removal operation in step S15 is repeated.
