[0098] Embodiment:

[0099] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0100] A method for personnel safety warning in a thermal power plant based on image recognition, the specific steps include:

[0101] Step 1: Distribute unique identification number plates to the power plant workers to be warned, correspond the identification number plates with the worker identities one by one, obtain the basic information, historical skill training data, violation times, and accident times of each worker, and calculate the safety scores of the workers.

[0102] Each worker is distributed a unique identification number plate to ensure that each person can be accurately identified. This enables the system to clearly associate data and events with specific workers during monitoring and analysis. The identification number plate is bound to the worker's identity information, basic information and historical records. This means that any monitored behavior data can be immediately associated with the comprehensive history of the person for personalized analysis and warning.

[0103] In this embodiment, the basic information includes the post area, working years, and identification number plate number;

[0104] The post area includes the boiler area, the steam turbine area, and the power generation area;

[0105] The skill training data includes the skill training duration, the number of skill trainings, and the assessment scores for each training.

[0106] The safety issues faced by staff in different areas vary. For example, areas with high temperature, high pressure, and mechanical operations are generally considered to be at higher risk. Another example is that when staff in the boiler area move to the steam turbine area, due to different equipment, the staff in the boiler area are unable to operate the equipment in the steam turbine area proficiently, which is dangerous for both personnel and equipment.

[0107] A longer working tenure of staff usually reflects rich experience, which helps to more effectively identify and avoid potential safety risks. Therefore, they have a higher ability to avoid danger. A longer training duration generally enables better mastery of safety skills and improves the ability to identify and avoid danger. Multiple training opportunities contribute to consolidating safety awareness and skill operations. A higher training assessment score indicates good mastery of safety knowledge and implementation ability, which will positively affect the scoring.

[0108] Multiple violation records may reflect weak safety awareness or inadequate implementation of safety regulations by staff in the power plant, increasing the probability of dangerous accidents. Multiple accident records may indicate that the worker has a higher risk propensity and is more likely to have dangerous accidents.

[0109] In this embodiment, the specific calculation steps for calculating the safety score of the staff are as follows:

[0110] Calculate the business skill level of the staff. The specific calculation formula is:

[0111]

[0112] Wherein, is the business skill level of the staff, is the number of skill training sessions, is the th skill training duration, is the th training assessment score, , are positive integers;

[0113] Calculate the safety score of the staff. The specific calculation formula is:

[0114]

[0115] Wherein, is the safety score of the staff, is the influence coefficient of the number of violations on the safety score, is the influence coefficient of the number of accidents on the safety score, is the number of violations, is the number of accidents, .

[0116] The level of safety score can reflect the safety awareness of the staff, and it is also the ability to respond to and avoid dangers. A high score may indicate that the worker has received sufficient training, has few records of violations and accidents, has a high safety awareness, and has a high ability to respond to and avoid dangers. On the contrary, a low score indicates weak safety awareness and an inability to effectively handle dangerous accidents. The safety score is not just a static value, but a dynamic indicator that changes over time and events. This helps to record and reflect the changing trends of the staff's safety awareness and the ability to respond to dangers during a specific period.

[0117] Step 2: Obtain historical images in the thermal power plant that contain types of staff violation behaviors, accident types, and equipment anomaly types, form an image dataset, and perform bounding box selection on the types of violation behaviors, accident types, identification number plates, and equipment anomaly types in the historical images to mark the label data. Establish an image danger recognition model, use the image dataset as the input of the model, and the label data as the output to train the model.

[0118] In this embodiment, the types of violation behaviors include protection violations, production violations, and maintenance violations;

[0119] The accident types include electric shock accidents, mechanical accidents, and scalding accidents;

[0120] The equipment anomaly types include equipment displacement, loose connection, pipeline leakage, and line spark;

[0121] The label data includes types of violation behaviors, accident types, equipment anomaly types, and identification number plate numbers.

[0122] Protection violations refer to the situation where the staff fails to correctly wear or use necessary protective equipment, or fails to comply with the rules of the protection area, such as not wearing a safety helmet, goggles, or protective gloves, and not wearing the specified protective clothing in areas with high temperature, high pressure, or electrical hazards. Production violations refer to the situation where the staff violates the procedures during actual production operations, which may directly threaten the safety of equipment and personnel, such as operating key equipment such as high-pressure boilers and turbines not according to the procedures. Maintenance violations refer to the situation where the staff fails to comply with safety procedures during equipment maintenance and repair, such as not setting warning signs during the repair process and not preventing others from accidentally touching.

[0123] Obtain historical images in the thermal power plant that contain types of staff violation behaviors, accident types, and equipment anomaly types, form an image dataset, that is, in one historical image, it contains one or more of these features of types of staff violation behaviors, accident types, and equipment anomaly types. Use the historical images as the input of the image danger recognition model, and the label data as the output to train the model, so as to identify these features in the images through real-time images.

[0124] The image hazard recognition model based on the CNN neural network is established because the CNN neural network has powerful feature extraction capabilities, efficient multi-label data classification capabilities, and robustness to adapt to complex environments when processing image data. The environment of a thermal power plant is complex, with possible dynamic light changes, background interference (such as equipment operation, smoke), and various types of dangerous behaviors. The CNN neural network can capture spatial local features through the convolutional layer, reduce background interference through the pooling layer, and gradually abstract key features to adapt to these complex environments.

[0125] For the application scenario of personnel safety warning in a thermal power plant, the CNN neural network can efficiently identify violation behaviors, accident types, and equipment abnormalities, helping to achieve automated and real-time safety monitoring, and providing an important guarantee for accident prevention and production safety.

[0126] In this embodiment, the mathematical calculation formula for establishing the image hazard recognition model is as follows:

[0127] The hazard recognition model is based on the CNN neural network and specifically includes a convolutional layer, an activation layer, a pooling layer, and an output layer;

[0128] Convolutional layer; extract features from the bounding box and label data of the input image through convolution operations, and the calculation formula is:

[0129]

[0130] Among them, is the input image matrix, is the convolution kernel, is the coordinate of the output matrix, The value of the convolution kernel in the th row and the th column;

[0131] The calculation formula of the activation layer is:

[0132]

[0133] Among them, is the coordinate of the output matrix output by the convolutional layer;

[0134] The calculation formula of the pooling layer is:

[0135]

[0136] Among them, is the input matrix, is the maximum pooling output;

[0137] The calculation formula of the output layer is:

[0138]

[0139] Among them, is the output of the pooling layer, is the result of image recognition, is the weight, is the bias parameter.

[0140] Step 3: Obtain a real-time image as the input of the trained image danger recognition model. Output the recognized image label data through the recognition model, directly give early warnings for the accident types in the output label data, calculate the behavioral danger coefficient based on the number of violations, working hours, and safety scores of the staff during daily work, and divide the behavioral danger levels and formulate early warning strategies.

[0141] The frequency of violations is an important indicator to measure the safety awareness and actual operation standardization of the staff. Those with violations often have higher potential safety hazards in operations. By counting the number of violations, it can intuitively reflect the safety operation performance of the staff within a specific period. A high number of violations can trigger a higher behavioral danger level and requires key attention to avoid further expanding the hidden dangers.

[0142] Working for a long time will lead to the accumulation of fatigue and increase the risk of personnel negligence and misoperation. Introducing the working hours as a calculation factor can dynamically reflect the impact of fatigue on safety risks.

[0143] By comprehensively considering the number of violations, working hours, and safety scores, calculating the behavioral danger coefficient is more comprehensive and scientific, avoiding the one-sidedness of single-factor evaluation. This method can dynamically reflect the safety risks of employees in different working states and improve the accuracy of risk assessment.

[0144] In this embodiment, the calculation formula of the behavioral danger coefficient is:

[0145]

[0146] Among them, is the behavioral danger coefficient, is the safety score of the staff, is the working hours, is the number of violations during daily work;

[0147] The method for dividing the behavioral danger levels and formulating early warning strategies is:

[0148] When it is determined that the behavioral danger level is level 1 and no early warning is given;

[0149] When it is determined that the behavioral danger level is level 2 and a warning early warning is given;

[0150] When it is the case, the judgment behavior danger level is level 3, directly give an early warning, and the worker leaves the post;

[0151] Among them, and are respectively the division thresholds of different behavior danger levels, .

[0152] Step 4: By obtaining the device operation parameters, calculate the device safety valuation according to the number of each device abnormal type, divide the device safety level, divide the internal area of the power plant, obtain the historical environmental data in each area of the power plant, calculate the area environmental danger coefficient according to the environmental data, divide the environmental danger level according to the environmental danger coefficient, and give an early warning.

[0153] In this embodiment, the device operation parameters include the operation years, the designed service life, the number of historical faults, and the time when the fault occurs;

[0154] The calculation formula of the device safety valuation is:

[0155]

[0156] Among them, is the device safety valuation, is the designed service life of the device, is the operation years of the device, is the time when the i-th fault occurs, is the working duration, is the number of each device abnormal type during each working period.

[0157] The device safety valuation reflects the current safe operation state of the device. The higher the device safety valuation, the safer the operation state; the lower it is, the more an early warning is needed. As the operation years of the device increase, the physical wear and aging degree of the device intensifies, the performance of key components (such as pipelines, bearings, circuits) may decline, the probability of failure increases, and the failures of aging devices may cause fires, explosions or electrical hazards, directly threatening the lives of the staff. The comparison between the designed service life and the actual operation years can predict the future risks of the device. Devices with frequent failures may have potential systematic defects or fatigue damage. If not repaired in time, more serious accidents will occur. Frequently failing devices may be unstable, increasing the uncertainty of the operation environment and posing a threat to the personnel working near the devices.

[0158] The specific method for dividing the device safety level is:

[0159] When it is the case, judge that the device danger level is level 1 and no early warning is given;

[0160] When occurs, the equipment danger level is determined to be level 2, and a warning is issued.

[0161] When occurs, the equipment danger level is determined to be level 3, and a direct warning is issued to leave the working position.

[0162] Among them, and are the classification thresholds for different equipment safety levels respectively. .

[0163] In this embodiment, the environmental data includes coal dust particle concentration, temperature, humidity, and noise.

[0164] The calculation formula for the environmental danger coefficient is:

[0165]

[0166] Among them, is the environmental danger coefficient, is the coal dust particle concentration, is the temperature, is the humidity, is the noise, are the weights of the coal dust particle concentration, temperature, humidity, and noise respectively. .

[0167] Coal dust is a common risk factor in thermal power plants. Long-term exposure to a high-concentration coal dust environment may lead to serious health problems such as respiratory diseases (such as pneumoconiosis) and lung cancer. In addition, the tiny particles of coal dust can penetrate deep into the lungs, increasing the risk of chronic respiratory diseases. When coal dust is in a high-concentration environment and encounters a fire source (such as an electrical equipment failure, heat source, etc.), an explosion may occur. A coal dust explosion can cause equipment damage and serious casualties.

[0168] The temperature inside a thermal power plant is usually high, especially in areas such as boiler rooms and unit equipment. A high-temperature environment is likely to cause heat stress reactions such as heatstroke and heat exhaustion, especially when personnel are exposed for a long time. High temperature may also lead to safety accidents such as equipment overheating and fires.

[0169] An environment with too high humidity (especially in a humid climate or a high-humidity environment near equipment) may cause electrical equipment to short-circuit and corrode, thereby triggering fires or electric shock accidents. In addition, too high humidity will also exacerbate the discomfort of personnel, increasing health problems such as heatstroke and eczema.

[0170] The noise inside a thermal power plant usually comes from equipment such as steam turbines, pumps, and fans. Prolonged exposure to a high-noise environment can easily lead to hearing damage (such as noise-induced deafness), fatigue, and stress, and may even cause work mistakes by staff, increasing the probability of accidents. Excessive noise also means there are potential safety hazards in the equipment.

[0171] By real-time monitoring of risk factors such as coal dust concentration and temperature, measures can be taken before an explosion, fire, or overheating to prevent accidents. Temperature and humidity monitoring helps identify potential overload or short-circuit risks in equipment, and timely maintenance measures can be taken to reduce the equipment failure rate and the probability of danger.

[0172] The specific method for dividing the environmental risk level is as follows:

[0173] When , it is determined that the environmental risk level is level 1, and no warning is given.

[0174] When , it is determined that the environmental risk level is level 2, and a warning is given.

[0175] When , it is determined that the environmental risk level is level 3, and a direct warning is given to evacuate from the work post.

[0176] Among them, , are the division thresholds for different environmental risk levels respectively, .

[0177] Step 5: Obtain the historical accident types in each area, establish a risk identification model through Bayes' theorem, form a factor data set based on the staff identification number plate numbers, behavioral risk levels, equipment safety levels, and environmental risk levels in each area, predict the types of future dangerous accidents, and give warnings according to the prediction results.

[0178] In this embodiment, the mathematical calculation formula for the factor data set is:

[0179]

[0180] Among them, is the staff identification number plate number, is the behavioral risk level, is the equipment safety level, is the environmental risk level, , and i is a positive integer.

[0181] Factors such as staff identification number plate numbers, behavioral risk levels, equipment safety levels, and environmental risk levels do not exist independently but are interrelated and influential. For example, poor environmental conditions can exacerbate the risk of equipment failure, which in turn requires more manual intervention by workers, increasing the likelihood of accidents caused by human error. At the same time, the intrusion of people outside the post area into the post area will increase the danger of accidents. The accumulation of multiple factors may lead to a higher overall risk level. For example, although an employee has a high score for safe behavior, if he works near a constantly malfunctioning device and the surrounding environment is also poor, the overall risk is still high.

[0182] By quantitatively evaluating these factors, high-risk areas and operations can be identified in advance, specific safety countermeasures can be formulated, and early warnings can be given to personnel to reduce the occurrence of accidents.

[0183] The Bayesian model is based on probability theory and can effectively handle uncertainty and incomplete data, which is the core ability for prediction in complex environments. The prediction of accident occurrence is based on known probabilities rather than deterministic events, making the prediction more flexible and adaptable.

[0184] Bayes' theorem can well combine historical accident data as prior knowledge and update it based on new observed data. This dynamic update ability helps to maintain the accuracy and relevance of the prediction when the environment changes.

[0185] In a thermal power plant, the occurrence of accidents is often affected by various factors, including personnel behavior, equipment status, environmental conditions, etc. The Bayesian model can integrate these different types of variables and provide a comprehensive risk assessment. By comprehensively considering various influencing factors and their interrelationships, the Bayesian model can reduce the false alarm rate and missed alarm rate and improve the reliability of safety warnings. It effectively improves the accuracy of prediction, reduces the likelihood of accidents, and ensures the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0186] The specific steps to establish a hazard identification model through Bayes' theorem are as follows:

[0187] According to the regional location of hazard events in historical data, calculate the probability of occurrence of each accident type, that is, the prior probability of each accident type:

[0188]

[0189] Among them, is the prior probability of each accident type N is the number of times the accident type occurs in historical data, is the indicator function, is the jth accident type in historical data, , is the accident type in historical data, represents an electric shock accident, represents a mechanical accident, represents a scald accident, is the smoothing coefficient;

[0190] The formula of the said indicator function is:

[0191] ;

[0192] Calculate the likelihood probability of the device feature set in each safety state:

[0193]

[0194] where, is the probability of observing the factor data set x under the given accident type , is the given accident type under which the i-th factor data is observed is the number of factor data, is a positive integer;

[0195] Calculate the posterior probability of the occurrence of each accident type according to Bayes' law:

[0196]

[0197] where, is the posterior probability of the accident type , is a normalization constant;

[0198] Establish a decision model for the occurrence of accident types:

[0199]

[0200] where, is the finally identified accident type that occurred.
