[0041] The alarm module, when the fault detection module detects an arc fault, sends out an audible and visual alarm signal to remind relevant staff to handle it;
[0042] Specific workflow: The load monitoring module processes the acquired current and voltage data through sensors (such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and vibration sensors) on the household power lines in order to monitor the load of the household power lines. The voiceprint acquisition module collects the sound in the sound signal, and stores the sound signal labels after processing the sound signals in the household power system in the database to improve the quality and availability of the signal. The feature extraction module collects and stores the sound signals, and pre-processes the collected sound signals through filtering, amplification, and noise reduction to prepare for the next step. The feature extraction module extracts the characteristic parameters representing the circuit fault from the voiceprint signal pre-processed in the signal processing module, and obtains the frequency distribution of the signal, analyzes the response characteristics of the voiceprint signal at different frequencies, and the sound energy distribution characteristics. The characteristic parameters provide an important basis for the subsequent fault detection module, helping the system to accurately determine whether there is a fault in the circuit and the type and severity of the fault, and enter the remote monitoring module;
[0043] The remote monitoring module monitors the status information of the load monitoring module, voiceprint collection module, signal processing module and feature extraction module in real time. At the same time, the remote monitoring module has a remote control function and can operate and adjust these modules. At this time, the remote monitoring module stores the monitoring data and uploads it to the user software platform for users to receive, process and display. The fault detection module detects the status of the monitored object in a timely manner.

[0044] Furthermore, the fault detection module detects arc faults according to the status information of the monitored object, and the alarm module receives instructions to timely discover the arc faults to avoid fire and serious consequences.
[0045] Embodiment 2:

According to the status information of each module, it obtains the data of the load monitoring module in real time, including the load condition, current and voltage parameters of the current power system, and monitors whether the sensor is working properly and the stability of data transmission. At the same time, it monitors the signal strength and quality in the voiceprint collection module for subsequent signal processing and feature extraction;
[0047] Specific workflow: The remote monitoring module first monitors the load conditions, current and voltage parameters of the power system in the load monitoring module. Secondly, it monitors the signal strength and quality in the voiceprint acquisition module to ensure that the collected sound signal is clear. At the same time, it detects the working status in the signal processing module to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of signal processing, and checks whether the output data meets expectations. Finally, it detects the status and work progress of the feature extraction module to ensure the smoothness of feature extraction.
[0048] Specifically, the remote monitoring module detects potential problems in a timely manner, avoids the paralysis of the entire system due to the failure of a certain module, ensures the safe operation of the home power system, and further facilitates subsequent fault detection modules.
[0049] Embodiment three:
[0050] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the fault detection module includes a fault diagnosis algorithm for fault diagnosis. The expression of the fault diagnosis algorithm is:
[0051]
[0052] Among them, T 上下 Indicates the current upper threshold and the current lower threshold. Represents the current analysis data sample average value, s represents the current analysis data sample standard deviation, k represents the threshold range, and the threshold range is adjusted according to the sample average value and sample standard deviation in the fault detection module. The fault detection module analyzes the current upper threshold value and the current lower threshold value. After the analysis is completed, the calculated threshold data is compared with the analyzed comprehensive data. When the calculated threshold data is ≦ the current upper threshold value, there is no need to transmit the instruction. The load monitoring module, voiceprint collection module, signal processing module, feature extraction module, remote monitoring module and alarm module work normally. When the calculated threshold data is ≥ the current upper threshold value, it is transmitted to the alarm module. The arc fault signal sent by the fault detection module is received in real time through sound alarm, SMS reminder, SMS notification and email transmission, and then the relevant staff are reminded to handle it;
[0053] Specific workflow: First, by analyzing the detection data of the calculated upper and lower thresholds at the current moment, and comparing the upper and lower thresholds at the current moment in the historical data, the extracted characteristic parameters are analyzed and judged to determine the arc fault problem. Then, when the calculated threshold data is ≥ the upper threshold at the current moment, it is transmitted to the alarm module to remind the relevant staff to handle it;
[0054] Furthermore, by connecting the fault detection module and the alarm module, when the arc fault is calculated to exceed the upper limit threshold of the current historical moment, the alarm module promptly reminds the user through sound alarm, SMS reminder, SMS notification and email transmission, thereby avoiding the problem of output result deviation due to different diagnostic models for household power load fault diagnosis methods, and being able to detect arc faults in a timely manner.
[0055] Embodiment 4:
[0056] Based on the first embodiment, please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the voiceprint acquisition module extracts characteristic parameters that can represent circuit faults from the voiceprint signal, including frequency characteristic parameters, time domain characteristic parameters and energy characteristic parameters, converts the time domain signal into a frequency domain signal, thereby obtaining the frequency distribution of the signal. By analyzing the response characteristics of the voiceprint signal at different frequencies, the working state of the circuit can be further understood. The time domain characteristic parameters can directly observe the time domain waveform of the voiceprint signal, including the amplitude, duration, and pulse shape of the signal. Combining the time domain characteristic parameters and other information, the sound can be located and diagnosed. By comparing the time domain waveforms of the voiceprint signals collected at different positions, the approximate location of the fault can be determined, providing a basis for the subsequent fault detection module. The energy characteristic parameters can reflect the energy level of the voiceprint signal. In circuit fault detection, abnormal energy changes may indicate that there is a fault in the circuit. For example, too high energy may mean that there is a short circuit or overload in the circuit, while too low energy may indicate that there is an open circuit or component damage in the circuit.
[0057] Specific workflow: First, the voiceprint acquisition module extracts the frequency characteristic parameters, time domain characteristic parameters and energy characteristic parameters that can represent the circuit fault from the voiceprint signal. Secondly, the frequency distribution of the signal can be obtained through the above parameters, which can further understand the working state of the circuit, perform sound positioning and diagnosis, and then, by comparing the time domain waveforms of the voiceprint signals collected at different positions, the approximate location of the fault can be determined. Finally, by determining the approximate location of the fault, information is provided for the subsequent fault detection module.
[0058] Specifically, by comprehensively analyzing frequency characteristic parameters, time domain characteristic parameters, and energy characteristic parameters, circuit faults can be detected and diagnosed more accurately, providing support for circuit maintenance and repair.
[0059] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention.
