[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention shows a nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening state monitoring device, including an industrial camera 10 and a visual controller 20.

[0027] The industrial camera 10 is arranged opposite to the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101, and is used to obtain image information of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101. The image information may include picture information and video information.

[0031]

[0032] In some embodiments, the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening state monitoring device further includes a switch 30 connected to the visual controller 20, and a server 40 connected to the switch 30. The server 40 can be used to store image information or processed information. The server 40 may include a cloud server.

[0033] In some embodiments, the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening state monitoring device further includes a display connected to the visual controller 20 or the server 40, and the display can be used to display graphic information or processed information.

[0034] In some embodiments, the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening state monitoring device further includes a light source 50 installed on the industrial camera 10 or near the industrial camera 10. The light source 50 includes an LED light source. Setting the light source 50 can increase the brightness so as to capture clear image information. In some embodiments, the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening state monitoring device further includes a lens 60 that matches the industrial camera 10, and through the configuration of the lens 60 of different specifications, clear image information is obtained.

[0035] In some embodiments, the industrial camera 10 and the vision controller 20 are connected to each other via wired or wireless communication.

[0036] The nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening state monitoring device includes an industrial camera 10, a visual controller 20 and other equipment. During the start-up process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, the industrial camera 10 quickly collects the image of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101. After the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is started, the collected images are stored in the hard disk of the visual controller 20 in time order, and the visual controller 20 analyzes them frame by frame.

[0037] The analysis process is as follows: First, the position of the pointer in each frame of the image is identified by the image processing algorithm, and the pointer's rotation radius and the dial scale are combined to calculate the pointer reading on each frame of the image. Then, the reading of each frame of the image is combined with the image shooting time to draw a curve of the change of the throttle lever opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine. Finally, according to the throttle lever opening curve of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine, it is judged whether the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal, and the actual speed of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is compared with the throttle lever opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine to comprehensively judge the operating status of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100.

[0038] Whether the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal is judged according to the change curve of the throttle lever opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100. During the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, the throttle lever opening pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine will change rapidly with the throttle size. By analyzing the change process of the throttle lever opening pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine, it is confirmed whether the throttle opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is consistent with the speed curve of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, so as to judge whether the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal. If the throttle opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is consistent with the speed curve of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal.

[0039] The present application also discloses a method for monitoring the throttle lever opening state of a nuclear power emergency diesel engine, which is applied to the throttle lever opening state monitoring device of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine in the above embodiment. The method for monitoring the throttle lever opening state of a nuclear power emergency diesel engine comprises:

[0040] The image information of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101 is obtained.

[0041] The image information is analyzed frame by frame to determine whether the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal.

[0042] In some embodiments, the frame-by-frame analysis of the image information includes: analyzing the position of the pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101 in each frame of the image, and combining the rotation radius of the pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101 and the dial scale of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101, calculating the reading of the pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101 on each frame of the image.

[0043] In some embodiments, the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening state monitoring method further includes: combining the reading of each frame of the image with the image shooting time to draw a curve of the change of the pointer opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine throttle lever opening dial 101.

[0044] In some embodiments, whether the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal is judged according to the change curve of the opening of the throttle lever opening dial pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine. During the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, the throttle lever opening pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine will change rapidly with the throttle size. By analyzing the change process of the throttle lever opening pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine, it is confirmed whether the throttle opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is consistent with the speed curve of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, thereby judging whether the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal. If the throttle opening of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is consistent with the speed curve of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, the starting process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal.

[0045] Understandably, according to the current operating status of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, during the startup process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100, the throttle lever opening dial pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine will change rapidly with the throttle size. The original diesel engine throttle opening pointer is a mechanical structure and cannot be uploaded in digital form. This application analyzes the change process of the throttle lever opening pointer of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine through image processing. Compared with human eye observation, the judgment is more accurate. It can judge whether the startup process of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine 100 is normal, and solves the difficulty that the throttle lever opening signal of the nuclear power emergency diesel engine cannot be synchronously analyzed with other diesel engine digital signals.

[0046] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should belong to the scope covered by the claims of the present invention.
