[0056] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application provides an air preheater air leakage monitoring system, as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0058] An acquisition module, configured to acquire an image of the clearance area of the air preheater and set an air leakage area image according to the image of the clearance area of the air preheater; a detection module, configured to perform edge detection on the air leakage area image and determine a direct air leakage characteristic value according to the edge detection result of the air leakage area image; a calculation module, configured to acquire the rotor speed of the current air preheater and determine an air leakage risk value according to the rotor speed of the current air preheater and the direct air leakage characteristic value; an early warning module, configured to determine an air leakage level according to the air leakage risk value and give an early warning to the air preheater according to the air leakage level.

[0059] In this embodiment, the acquisition module is used to monitor in real time the image of the clearance area between the sector plate and the rotor radial seal plate of the air preheater, so as to extract the air leakage area image. The direct air leakage characteristic value is calculated through the air leakage area image. At the same time, the carried air leakage volume of the air preheater is obtained through the rotor speed of the air preheater, so as to obtain the air leakage risk value and determine the air leakage level, and an early warning of the air preheater is realized based on the air leakage level.

The larger the segmentation quantity is, the more complex the sub-gap area grayscale image is. The similarity between the adjacent sub-gap area grayscale images is determined by the sum value of the grayscale difference and the segmentation quantity difference. The smaller the sum value of the difference is, the higher the corresponding similarity is.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, calculating the possibility of a leakage area in the gray-scale image of the combined gap area includes: segmenting the pixel points of the gray-scale image of the combined gap area according to a preset gray-scale range, and calculating the ratio of the gray-scale value of the pixel points in each gray-scale image of the combined gap area after segmentation to the preset leakage gray-scale value; statistically calculating the average value of the ratios of the gray-scale values of the pixel points in the gray-scale image of the combined gap area to the preset leakage gray-scale value, and determining the possibility of the leakage area in the gray-scale image of the combined gap area according to the average value of the ratios.

[0065] In this embodiment, the possibility of the leakage area is determined by the average value of the ratios of the gray-scale values of the pixel points in multiple gray-scale images of the combined gap area after segmentation. The closer the ratio is to 1, the greater the possibility of the leakage area in the gray-scale image of the combined gap area.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection module performs edge detection on the leakage area image and determines the direct leakage characteristic value according to the edge detection result of the leakage area image, including: performing edge detection on the leakage area image based on the canny edge detection algorithm to obtain a leakage edge; performing triangular fitting on the leakage edge and calculating the area value of the fitted triangle; detecting the area value of the fitted triangle in real time, and drawing an area change curve according to the change situation of the area value of the fitted triangle; performing curve fitting on the area change curve, and determining the predicted time when the area value of the fitted triangle reaches a second preset threshold according to the curve fitting result; determining the direct leakage characteristic value according to the predicted time when the area value of the fitted triangle reaches the second preset threshold.

[0072] where D is the air leakage risk value, T is the direct air leakage characteristic value, N is the carried air leakage characteristic value, R is the preset range adjustment value, and exp is the natural exponential function.

[0073] In this embodiment, the carried air leakage characteristic value N is adjusted to a suitable range through the preset range adjustment value R, so as to calculate the air leakage risk value D.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the warning module determines the air leakage level according to the air leakage risk value, including: obtaining the preset air leakage standard value, and calculating the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value; judging whether the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value is greater than the third preset threshold. If the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value is greater than the third preset threshold, the first-level air leakage level is set; if the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value is less than or equal to the third preset threshold, it is judged whether the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value is greater than the fourth preset threshold; if the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value is greater than the fourth preset threshold, the second level is set as the air leakage level; if the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value is less than or equal to the fourth preset threshold, the third level is set as the air leakage level.

[0075] In this embodiment, the air leakage level of the air preheater is evaluated through the difference between the air leakage risk value of the current air preheater and the preset air leakage standard value. The larger the difference, the higher the corresponding air leakage level ranking, and the more serious the air leakage situation.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the warning module gives a warning to the air preheater according to the air leakage level, including: when the air leakage level is the third level, no air leakage warning is given to the air preheater; when the air leakage level is the second level, a slight air leakage warning is given to the air preheater; when the air leakage level is the first level, a serious air leakage warning is given to the air preheater.
