Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rapid equipment fault location, and in particular to a method and system for rapid equipment fault location. Background Art
[0002] Current status of related technologies in this field: With the deep integration of industrialization and informatization, equipment operation and maintenance management has become a key link in ensuring production efficiency and quality. Traditional equipment fault diagnosis usually relies on manual experience judgment or simple threshold alarms. This method often cannot locate the source of the fault in a timely and accurate manner, especially in complex equipment networks. The fault transmission effect is obvious, and the problem of a single device may cause a chain reaction, affecting the stable operation of the entire system.
[0003] Currently commonly used fault diagnosis technologies mainly include condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and expert systems. Among them, condition monitoring monitors the health status of equipment in real time by collecting equipment operating parameters. Predictive maintenance introduces data analysis based on condition monitoring to predict possible future faults. Expert systems use preset rule bases to infer and judge equipment abnormalities.
[0004] Deficiencies of existing technologies: Although existing fault diagnosis technologies have achieved certain results, they still have problems such as slow response speed, high misjudgment rate, and difficulty in tracing the root cause when faced with large-scale, highly complex equipment networks. Especially when multiple devices fail concurrently, it is difficult to quickly identify the key source of the fault, which extends the troubleshooting cycle, increases unnecessary downtime and economic losses.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method and system for quickly locating equipment faults to quickly and accurately locate the source of the fault, thereby improving the efficiency of fault inspection and maintenance. Summary of the invention
[0006] The present invention provides a method and system for quickly locating equipment faults, which facilitates solving the problems mentioned in the above background technology.
[0007] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for quickly locating equipment faults, comprising: For any device that needs to monitor current; Set monitoring intervals; The time when the device current monitoring starts is recorded as the start time. From the start time, a monitoring time is set every monitoring interval, and the device current is recorded at each monitoring time. The recorded currents are organized into a current data set in chronological order. ; By continuously monitoring the equipment current, real-time current data can be obtained, providing dynamic changes in the equipment's operating status. Data collected in chronological order can reflect the equipment's operating conditions at different time points and help capture potential fault signals.
[0008] Step 1: Execute a data preprocessing strategy on the current data set, and record the processed current data set as the first data set; Step 2: Execute an anomaly detection strategy on the first data set to determine whether the device is in a normal operating state; If there is a fault in the equipment, the faulty equipment will be recorded as a marked equipment; Obtain all devices whose current is monitored, number each device, and record them as device 1, device 2, ... device a; Step 3: Execute the fault propagation analysis strategy, calculate the impact of the marked device fault on other devices, and quantify the impact of the marked device on other devices as an impact value; Step 4: Execute the key fault source location strategy to determine the device that causes the fault.
[0009] Preferably, executing a data preprocessing strategy on the current data set and recording the processed current data set as a first data set includes: For the current dataset ; calculate , the result is recorded as α; calculate , the result is recorded as β; For any element in the current data set I, execute the following formula; , the result is recorded as , i=1,2,…,n; Among them, The value corresponding to the execution of the data preprocessing strategy is recorded as .
[0010] Data preprocessing can effectively remove noise and ensure data accuracy. The current values of different devices may have different ranges. Standardization can make the data of different devices comparable, which is helpful for subsequent analysis and comparison.

[0012] ; ; ; , where 1≦t≦n; in, are the activation values of the forget gate, input gate, and output gates, is the cell state, is the output status.
[0013] Through anomaly detection, it is possible to quickly identify whether the equipment has a fault or anomaly, especially when the equipment fails, its characteristics can be quickly captured. Automatic identification: Using long short-term memory (LSTM) to analyze the current sequence can automatically identify whether the equipment is in normal working condition without manual intervention, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of fault identification.

[0016] in, Impact of a failure in device p on device q, where 1≦p≦a and 1≦q≦a.
[0017] By calculating the impact value, the propagation intensity of the fault between devices can be quantified, providing a basis for the subsequent location of the key fault source. Faulty equipment may affect the normal operation of other equipment. Understanding this impact helps to identify and locate the source of cascading faults.
[0018] By constructing a fault propagation map and device relationship matrix, we can intuitively understand the transmission path of the fault in the system. Quantifying the impact of the fault helps to assess the severity and scope of the fault, thereby providing guidance for maintenance and repair.
[0019] Preferably, the executing fault propagation analysis strategy to calculate the impact of the marked device failure on other devices includes: Get the number r of the marking device; Get the output state of the labeled device using the long short-term memory network analysis, recorded as ; For any device s other than the marked device; calculate , the result is recorded as ,in, is the fault impact value of device s affected by the fault of the marked device.

The sorting result is used as the priority of the device with the dominant current fault.
[0021] By calculating the fault tag value, the key equipment that is most likely to cause other equipment failures can be located. This helps to respond quickly and carry out targeted repairs. Optimize maintenance resources: Locating the dominant fault source can give priority to the most critical faulty equipment, thereby effectively utilizing maintenance resources and improving fault response efficiency.
[0022] A rapid equipment fault location system, comprising: Current sensing module: used to monitor the current of the device. A current sensing module is installed on each device. Data storage module: records the current data of the equipment at each monitoring moment and stores it; Data calculation module: executes a data preprocessing strategy on the current data set, and records the processed current data set as the first data set; Data judgment module: executes an anomaly detection strategy on the first data set to determine whether the device is in a normal operating state; Fault analysis module: Executes fault propagation analysis strategy, calculates the impact of marked device failure on other devices, and quantifies the impact of marked device on other devices as impact value; executes key fault source location strategy to determine the device that dominates the fault.
[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This method for quickly locating equipment faults achieves the effect of quickly and accurately locating the source of the fault because it adopts the equipment fault analysis model and fault propagation map establishment technology, greatly shortens the fault response time, and improves the accuracy and reliability of fault diagnosis.
[0024] 2. Thanks to the introduction of deep neural network technology, the accuracy of equipment status prediction has made a qualitative leap in the rapid location method of equipment faults. Especially in the face of complex dynamic environments, the model shows stronger adaptability and anti-interference performance, which helps to reduce the misdiagnosis rate and the risk of missed diagnosis;.

[0035] Data preprocessing can remove noise, fill missing data, normalize data range, etc. Doing so can improve the accuracy and robustness of anomaly detection algorithms and reduce the probability of false positives.

[0050] By calculating and sorting the fault tag values, the main fault source equipment can be quickly identified and located. Such priority sorting helps maintenance personnel respond quickly and reduce fault downtime. The main fault equipment can be clearly identified, so that resources can be concentrated on repairing the problem equipment and minimizing system downtime. Decision support: This sorting mechanism can provide decision makers with a basis for locating the source of the fault and help formulate a more scientific equipment maintenance strategy.
