[0037] To enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use this application, the following description is provided. In this description, details are set forth for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0038] This application provides a wind turbine monitoring method, device, equipment, and storage medium, which are described in detail below.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a fan monitoring system provided in an embodiment of this application. The fan monitoring system may include a refrigerator 100. Figure 1 The refrigerator 100 in the application can be used to obtain the storage-related control logic in the refrigerator 100 in order to execute the fan monitoring method in this application.

[0040] In this embodiment of the application, the refrigerator 100 may include, but is not limited to, a double-door refrigerator, a single-door refrigerator, a freezer, etc.

[0041] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the wind turbine monitoring system shown is merely an example. The wind turbine monitoring system and scenario described in this application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of this application and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in this application. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of wind turbine monitoring systems and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a schematic flowchart of one embodiment of the fan monitoring method in this application. The method is applied to a refrigeration device, which includes an ultrasonic sensor and a fan. The ultrasonic sensor is disposed on the periphery of the fan. The method specifically includes the following steps 201-202:

[0043] 201. Obtain the target vibration signal collected by the ultrasonic sensor.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fan generates sound vibration signals when it is in operation. Therefore, the ultrasonic sensor installed around the fan can collect the sound vibration signals, especially some sound vibration signals that are inaudible to the human ear, such as ultrasound. When the fan starts, the ultrasonic sensor can be activated to collect the sound vibration signals generated by the fan during operation, which is the target vibration signal in this embodiment.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be noted that the structure of the fan section varies depending on the model of the refrigeration equipment. Therefore, the installation position of the ultrasonic sensor needs to be determined according to the layout of the fan. This application does not limit the specific installation position. Additionally, the distance between the ultrasonic sensor and the fan can be approximately 5 centimeters to ensure that the collected vibration signal best matches the ideal state.

[0046] 202. Determine the operating status of the fan based on the target vibration signal.

[0047] When a fan malfunctions, the sound vibrations it produces during rotation differ from those during normal operation. Therefore, the acquired target vibration signal can be compared with pre-stored abnormal vibration signals. For example, the system can store abnormal vibration signals corresponding to fan icing, loose fan blades, and excessive rotor friction due to lack of lubrication during fan rotation, etc. Specific examples in this application will not be listed here. At this time, the currently acquired target vibration signal is compared with vibration signals of each abnormal type to determine the fan's operating status. When the target vibration signal does not match any of the abnormal vibration signals, it can be determined that the fan is in normal operating condition. Otherwise, if the target vibration signal matches a specific type of abnormal vibration signal, it can be determined that a specific abnormality has occurred in the fan. For example, if the current target vibration signal matches the abnormal vibration signal corresponding to loose fan blades, it can be determined that the fan blades are loose.

[0048] The wind turbine monitoring method provided in this application can collect the sound vibration signals emitted by the wind turbine during operation by using ultrasonic sensors installed around the wind turbine. By analyzing the sound vibration signals of the wind turbine, the operating status of the wind turbine can be detected, thereby determining whether the wind turbine is abnormal, ensuring the real-time and accuracy of wind turbine monitoring.

[0049] To better implement the embodiments of this application, in one embodiment of this application, acquiring the target vibration signal collected by the ultrasonic sensor includes:

[0050] Determine the sampling frequency and sampling time; based on the sampling frequency and sampling time, control the ultrasonic sensor to acquire the target vibration signal.

[0051] The above embodiments provide a scheme for determining the operating state of a fan based on a target vibration signal. However, to facilitate subsequent processing, analysis, storage, and sharing, this application also provides a sampling scheme. When sampling the vibration signal, a set sampling method can be used to sample the vibration signal and convert it into a discrete digital signal.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sampling frequency can be 1000Hz and the sampling time can be 10 seconds. Each time the ultrasonic wave is activated, the vibration signal of the fan is sampled according to this sampling frequency and sampling time. After each sampling, the working fan can be sampled again after a target time interval, such as 2 minutes or 5 minutes. This embodiment does not limit the length of the target time interval. This also saves storage space and avoids the system storing too many target vibration signals.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, controlling the ultrasonic sensor to acquire the target vibration signal based on the sampling frequency and sampling time may also include controlling the ultrasonic sensor to acquire the target vibration signal based on the sampling frequency, sampling time, and the target operating frequency of the ultrasonic sensor. The target operating frequency can be a user-defined operating frequency, such as 40kHz, and this embodiment does not limit the target operating frequency.

[0054] To better implement the embodiments of this application, in one embodiment, determining the operating state of the fan based on the target vibration signal includes:

[0055] The target vibration signal is analyzed to determine the airflow rate and air density information around the fan; based on the airflow rate and air density information, the operating status of the fan is determined.

[0056] The above embodiments provide a scheme for determining the working status by comparing the target vibration signal with various stored abnormal vibration signals. The advantage of this scheme is its ability to accurately identify specific abnormal problems. However, storing various abnormal vibration signals requires a certain amount of storage space. Therefore, this application also provides a scheme.

[0057] Specifically, since the target vibration signal is essentially the air vibration frequency collected by the ultrasonic sensor when air flows through it, the airflow rate and air density can be determined based on the target vibration signal, i.e., the vibration frequency. In this case, if the fan is operating normally, for example at speed level 5, it should theoretically have a normal wind speed. If the airflow rate analyzed from the target vibration signal is less than the wind speed expected at speed level 5, it proves that the fan speed cannot reach level 5, indicating a possible malfunction in the fan control.

[0058] Simultaneously, to avoid errors in judgment, air density information also needs to be considered. For example, under normal circumstances, the higher the wind speed, the lower the air density should be, because the fan is working normally. If the fan speed is abnormal, the wind speed decreases, and the air density increases. Based on this, density information can be combined with wind speed detection. For example, if the air density is less than the density corresponding to level 5, the fan malfunction can be further confirmed. If both judgments show an abnormality, the result is output as the fan's operating state is abnormal. Alternatively, if both wind speed and density detections determine that the fan is normal, the result is output as the fan is in normal working state. Or, if either wind speed or density detection determines that the fan is abnormal, the current detection result can be temporarily ignored. After a target time period, the detection is repeated. If after N detections, such as 3 or 5 times, the result is still that either wind speed or density detection determines the fan is abnormal, then the result is output as the fan is in an abnormal operating state.

[0059] To better implement the embodiments of this application, in one embodiment, the operating state of the fan is determined based on air flow rate and air density information, including:

[0060] If the airflow rate is less than the target rate threshold or the air density information is greater than the target density threshold, the fan's operating state is determined to be icing.

[0061] The above embodiments provide a scheme for determining the operating status of a fan based on airflow rate and air density information. However, in cases of icing anomalies, it is not necessary to consider both situations simultaneously. In this case, if either the airflow rate or the air density is abnormal, it can be directly determined that the fan is experiencing an icing anomaly. Therefore, in this embodiment, if the fan monitoring is only used to detect icing anomalies, the determination can be made based on only one of the criteria.

[0062] The target velocity threshold can be 0.5 m / s, and the target density threshold can be 1.2 kg / m³. Of course, other thresholds can also be set, and this application embodiment does not limit them.

[0063] To better implement the embodiments of this application, in one embodiment of this application, after determining that the operating state of the fan is an icing state, the method further includes:

[0064] The control target alarm device outputs the first alarm information; the first alarm information is used to indicate that the operating state of the fan is icing.

[0065] The above embodiments provide a solution for monitoring whether a fan is in an icing state. To ensure users notice fan abnormalities and prevent damage, this application also provides a solution for outputting an alarm message corresponding to the icing abnormality, i.e., a first alarm message, when the fan is confirmed to be icing. Specifically, if it is determined that the fan is icing, the words "Fan Icing" can be displayed on the display control panel of the refrigeration equipment. Alternatively, if the refrigeration equipment is connected to the user's mobile phone via the Internet of Things (IoT), the fan icing abnormality information can be sent to the user's mobile phone. In this specific embodiment, the form of the alarm is not limited.

[0066] It should also be noted that the above embodiments also describe how this application can determine different types of anomalies. Therefore, similarly, alarms can also be issued based on specific anomaly types, for example, issuing alarms for the corresponding specific anomaly information in the manner described above, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0067] To better implement the embodiments of this application, in one embodiment of this application, after determining that the operating state of the fan is an icing state, the method further includes: controlling the fan to stop.

[0068] To prevent the fan from continuing to operate under abnormal conditions, the fan can be shut down. This can be done in any way, such as the processor of the refrigeration equipment determining that the fan is abnormal and issuing a fan shutdown command. This application embodiment will not elaborate on this.

[0069] To better implement the embodiments of this application, in one embodiment of this application, before acquiring the target vibration signal collected by the ultrasonic sensor, the method further includes:

[0070] The system controls the fan to start and collects the initial vibration signal through an ultrasonic sensor; based on the initial vibration signal, it determines whether the fan has started normally; if the fan has not started normally, the control target alarm device outputs a second alarm message; the second alarm message is used to prompt the user to check the fan status.

[0071] The above embodiments provide a scheme for determining the operating status of a fan based on vibration signals. However, in some cases, after receiving a start command, the fan may be completely stationary due to damage. In this situation, there is no air vibration. Therefore, the ultrasonic sensor cannot collect vibration signals. Thus, if the initial vibration signal collected is 0Hz, or only a few hertz, it proves that the fan cannot effectively drive airflow, indicating that the fan is not working. In this case, a non-working alarm can be issued, i.e., a second alarm message, informing the user that the fan is not working and prompting the user to check the fan themselves. Similarly, the alarm method can be the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0072] To better implement the fan monitoring method in this application embodiment, this application embodiment also provides a fan monitoring device applied to refrigeration equipment. The refrigeration equipment includes an ultrasonic sensor and a fan. The ultrasonic sensor is disposed around the fan, specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the device 300 includes:
