Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of digital twin simulation, and particularly relates to an intelligent engineering equipment virtual debugging system for a limited dynamic space. BACKGROUND

[0002] Thermal power is the main way of China's power production and supply, and waterway transportation is an important link in coal supply. Intelligent engineering equipment is the main operating equipment in the cabin. The coal piles that cannot be mined due to the limitation of the freedom of the grab bucket are generally gathered together by workers driving these intelligent engineering equipment. The working environment in the cabin is poor and the manual operation efficiency is not high. The unmanned operation of intelligent engineering equipment can better solve these problems.

[0003] However, the realization of automatic unloading needs a large number of experiments in the field. Engineering equipment is not like production line robots or household robots, which are small in size and easy to deploy. Intelligent engineering equipment is usually large in size and high in self-weight. A great time and economic cost is needed for repeated deployment of experiments in the field, and there is a safety hazard. When debugging problems are encountered, a long development cycle is needed to solve the problems and then experiment again. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a suitable simulation environment and virtual debugging system to enable the development to have a complete and efficient life cycle.

[0004] With the continuous development and upgrading of information technology and engineering industrial device automation technology at home and abroad at the present stage, digital twin technology as a new technology is more and more concerned by many enterprises and governments. Digital twin technology is to make full use of physical models, sensor updates, operation history and other data, and integrate multi-disciplinary, multi-physical, multi-scale and multi-probability simulation processes. Mapping is completed in the virtual space, so as to reflect the whole life cycle process of the corresponding entity engineering equipment.

[0005] However, the current digital twin technology still has many insurmountable gaps and technical barriers. First, digital twin technology is data-driven and is driven by huge data. Various types of sensor data and various communication protocols need to occupy high bandwidth and high-cost hardware configuration. Second, the current digital twin technology is mainly for real-time observation, and the dynamics construction of the twin model is still missing and immature. With the development of information technology, more and more complex algorithms and high-cost model training costs and physical experiment costs are too high. The existing digital twin technology cannot solve the problem well, especially in the field of engineering equipment operation automation. The evaluation and debugging of automatic algorithm are closely related to the dynamics model. The cost of field experiment of the robot is high, the robustness is low, and the dynamics is missing in the debugging process and the artificial development efficiency is low. SUMMARY

[0037] The present application will be further described below in combination with the drawings of the specification.

[0038] Figure 1 The intelligent engineering equipment virtual debugging system flow chart for limited dynamic space shown includes a twin model module, a simulation sensor perception module and a virtual-real interconnection module.

[0039] The twin model design module includes a three-dimensional static model unit and a multi-body dynamics model unit. The physical properties of the scene where the twin model is located are analyzed according to the specific needs of the twin model; the intelligent engineering equipment, the bulk cargo, and the static physical environment are fused for further visual modeling restoration and simulation.

[0040] The three-dimensional static model unit is used to model the cabin and coal pile san'liao in Blender, analyze the Japanese Komatsu D63E-12 type push rake machine, Doosan DL-250 loader, excavator and GENMA grab ship unloader in solidworks modeling software, and establish a twin model with various physical parameters and model parameters as shown in Figure 2 As shown, the environment where the intelligent engineering equipment is located is reconstructed according to the real scene demand by using unmanned aerial vehicle telemetry, such as the natural environment of mine, wharf and port, and construction engineering equipment. The model of bulk materials such as sand pile, coal pile, stone and bean grain is generally a large number of unit models, and the model of unit bulk cargo needs to be given unique dynamic properties in the dynamics model unit. Finally, all the static model materials and texture maps established above are rendered and visualized in Unreal Engine 5.

[0041] The dynamics model unit is a three-dimensional model that can be visualized and controlled by programs with model hierarchy and parent-child relationship between joints. The format of the three-dimensional model is converted to a STEP format model file as shown in Figure 2The twin model effect diagram shows that the dynamic model of intelligent engineering equipment can be modeled from the cab, engine, lower walking part and front operation part of the intelligent engineering equipment. All components of the cab can be equivalent to a rigid body with Coulomb statics, without internal force, only with friction and gravity properties to the outside. The engine can be equivalent to a rotational joint particle providing angular acceleration. The lower walking part is mainly composed of track and articulated frame, which is a complex structure with multi-body dynamics model. The track can be divided into drive wheel, idler wheel, load wheel and single track plate for design. The drive wheel is responsible for converting the angular velocity provided by the engine into the linear velocity of the track as a whole. The idler wheel is a fulcrum of the track, which is used to keep the motion center of the track and the motion center of the track wheel coplanar. The load wheel is used to support the weight of the track. After the single track plate is integrated into a single track, it combines with the weight of the cab to provide the overall friction and torque of the intelligent engineering equipment. The articulated frame is a cylindrical hinge that connects two two-wheel frames together. Four wheels are driven simultaneously to provide overall friction and torque of the intelligent engineering equipment. The hinge in the middle is generally driven by a hydraulic cylinder for steering of the articulated frame. The joint model is designed using the AGX momentum dynamics library in spaceclaim software and applied between rigid bodies. The model file in.agx format is finally imported into Unreal Engine, where maps and materials are made and rendered.

[0042] The multi-sensor perception module covers the perception simulation of 16 / 32 / 48 / 64 line velodyne lidar, monocular RGB-D camera and IMU sensors. The module includes a simulation environment perception unit, an actual environment perception unit and a data acquisition and publishing unit. As Figure 3 The perception simulation effect diagram, the simulation environment perception unit receives information from the simulation sensor, the actual environment perception unit receives information from the actual sensor including lidar data and inertial sensor data, etc., and transmits it to the virtual-real interconnection module intelligent engineering equipment controller unit through the data acquisition and publishing unit to be used as the input of the algorithm to be debugged. According to the perception result, the data acquisition and publishing unit preprocesses the perception information such as point cloud and inertial navigation information, packs it into a data format readable by the ROS robot operating system, and transmits it to the intelligent engineering equipment controller unit through the ROS topic communication mechanism.

[0043] Specifically, the simulation environment perception unit simulates the perception mechanism of each sensor, including the principle, data structure and data publishing frequency of perception. It mainly acquires data in the simulation environment and preprocesses to eliminate invalid points through mesh body collision point detection and pixel capture in Unreal Engine.

[0044] Figure 4The workflow of the virtual debugging mode and the virtual-real interconnection calibration mode of the present application is shown. First, the host computer gives the job instruction to the intelligent engineering equipment controller unit, and connects the multi-sensor perception module to monitor the environmental information and the intelligent engineering equipment pose information, etc. Secondly, the simulation environment perception unit and the actual environment perception unit of the multi-sensor perception module perceive data and preprocess the data through the data acquisition unit, and the data is published to the intelligent engineering equipment controller unit of the virtual-real interconnection module for processing. The algorithm output of the intelligent engineering equipment controller unit after processing is output to the actual intelligent engineering equipment and the bottom drive of the twin intelligent engineering equipment for algorithm debugging and virtual-real interconnection feedback. When the debugging expectation meets the debugging standard, the whole process system is ended. If it does not meet the standard, the algorithm strategy is adjusted and iteratively optimized.

[0045] The intelligent engineering equipment virtual debugging system for limited dynamic space of the present application uses virtual debugging and virtual-real interconnection feedback to optimize the full life cycle closed-loop control strategy development and debugging of intelligent engineering equipment. It can realize the intelligent full-automatic push rake operation function debugging and interconnection in mine, wharf and port scenes, etc. to improve the operation efficiency of artificial operation of intelligent engineering equipment and avoid the high risk of manual operation.
