Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery management, and particularly to an adaptive power supply regulation method and system for an acoustic thermal imager. Background Art

[0002] Acoustic imaging is a sound source localization technology that uses a microphone array to synchronously collect multi-channel sound signals and uses algorithms such as beamforming to calculate the distribution of sound magnitude on a spatial plane, thereby visually identifying the position with the largest sound in the plane, that is, the sound source position. Thermal imaging is a non-contact temperature measurement technology that uses a sensor array sensitive to temperature to obtain the temperature of each grid point on a plane. Acoustic imaging and thermal imaging are both used in the partial discharge detection of power facilities. The two technologies have a complementary effect. A portable detection device uses both acoustic imaging and thermal imaging technologies for data fusion display, which can more quickly locate partial discharge and is beneficial to improving the efficiency of inspection work.

[0003] However, the structure of a detection device with both acoustic imaging and thermal imaging technologies is more complex and the power consumption is higher. In the case of battery power supply, the usage time of the device is shortened, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an adaptive power supply regulation method for an acoustic thermal imager.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented according to the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention includes the following steps:

[0007] Measure the surface temperature and output voltage of the lithium battery. When the surface temperature exceeds the set protection temperature, control the lithium battery to stop output, and estimate the current power based on the state of charge estimation model using the output voltage;

[0008] Measure the acoustic imaging power consumption of the acoustic imaging in real time, judge whether the acoustic imaging module is in an active working state according to the acoustic imaging power consumption, and according to the current power combined with the acoustic imaging power consumption, if it is in a non-active working state, turn off the power of the acoustic imaging device;

[0009] Measure the thermal imaging power consumption of the thermal imaging in real time, judge whether the thermal imaging module is in an active working state according to the thermal imaging power consumption, and according to the current power combined with the thermal imaging power consumption, if it is in a non-active working state, turn off the power of the thermal imaging device; if the current power is low, the power main control module of the lithium battery turns off the device in the non-active working state..

[0010] Further, the method for estimating the current power using the output voltage based on the state of charge estimation model includes:

[0011] Establish a mapping table of the output voltage and charge state of a lithium battery at different temperatures through experiments, and perform compensation in combination with the real-time surface temperature. The expression is:

[0012]

[0013] Where the output voltage of the lithium battery is U out , the surface temperature of the lithium battery is T, the state of charge of the lithium battery is SOC, and the experimental calibration coefficients are β, μ, and α respectively;

[0014] When the load fluctuates, introduce the current integration method to correct the error of voltage hysteresis. The expression is:

[0015]

[0018] Furthermore, a method for judging whether the acoustic imaging module is in an active working state according to the acoustic imaging power consumption includes:

[0021] Resample and align the non-uniformly adopted power data set, establish a probability model according to historical data, dynamically update the power variance threshold of the active state, and use the trapezoidal formula integration method to detect the instantaneous perturbation of the second derivative mutation;

[0022] If the power consumption difference shows specific fluctuations, the acoustic imaging module is in an active state; if the power consumption difference remains stable for a long time or the power is close to the baseline noise, the acoustic imaging module is in an inactive state.

[0023] Further, a method for judging whether the thermal imaging module is in an active working state according to the thermal imaging power consumption includes:

[0024] Collect the working temperature of the thermal imaging module, select a short-time window to capture instantaneous mutations, and calculate the mean square rate and the maximum deviation rate:

[0029] When the mean square rate is greater than 1.2 and the maximum deviation rate is greater than 0.6, the thermal imaging module is in an active state; in a high-temperature environment, the mean value μ is corrected according to the temperature sensor data. If the environmental temperature is greater than 40 degrees, the thresholds of the mean square rate and the maximum deviation rate are adjusted, and the mean square rate is greater than 0.9 and the maximum deviation rate is greater than 0.4.

[0031] The temperature measurement module measures the surface temperature of the lithium battery; the voltage measurement module measures the output voltage of the battery;

[0032] The power supply main control module obtains the surface temperature of the lithium battery through the temperature measurement module. When the temperature exceeds the set protection temperature, it controls the lithium battery to stop output; the power supply main control module obtains the output voltage of the lithium battery through the voltage measurement module and estimates the current power according to the voltage;

[0033] Measure the power consumption of the acoustic imaging in real time, determine whether the acoustic imaging module is in an active working state according to the acoustic imaging power consumption, and combine the current battery level with the acoustic imaging power consumption. If it is in an inactive working state, turn off the power supply of the acoustic imaging device;
