[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0017] The present invention provides a fault prediction and monitoring system for helium mass spectrometry leak detection equipment based on data analysis, including: Data acquisition module: Connection method: Connected to the PLC (programmable logic controller) on the helium mass spectrometry leak detection equipment through Ethernet to ensure stable and efficient data transmission. Supports multiple communication protocols (such as TCP / IP, UDP, etc.) to meet the compatibility requirements of different models of equipment.

[0018] Data type: This module can collect a variety of operating parameters, including but not limited to key indicators such as temperature, pressure, humidity, etc., comprehensively covering the operating conditions of the equipment.

[0019] Real-time and accuracy: Adopt high-speed data acquisition technology, combined with the timestamp mechanism, to ensure the time synchronization and sampling accuracy of the data. At the same time, the system will perform preliminary cleaning and verification on the collected raw data to remove outliers or noise interference, providing a reliable basis for subsequent analysis.

[0020] Database management module: Data storage: The system is built-in with an efficient relational database (MySQL) for storing historical data and real-time data collected from the equipment. The database is organized in a time series for easy subsequent query and analysis.

[0021] Data classification and indexing: Classify and store the collected data, for example, index according to fields such as equipment ID, sensor type, timestamp, etc. to improve query efficiency. At the same time, support marking and archiving important events (such as fault alarms, performance degradation nodes).

[0022] Data Security and Backup: To prevent data loss or corruption, the system has an automatic backup function and supports encrypted storage to ensure data security and integrity. In addition, users can also export data for specific time periods as needed for external analysis or archiving.

[0023] Historical Data Mining: The historical data in the database can be used to train neural network models, optimize threshold settings, and generate device performance trend reports to help users better understand the long-term operating status of the device.

[0024] Data Analysis Module: Threshold Judgment: The collected data is monitored in real time according to the thresholds within the normal operating range of each parameter set in advance. Once data exceeding the threshold is detected, an alarm is immediately triggered and the abnormal situation is recorded.

[0025] Neural Network Model: A neural network model is constructed using deep learning technology. Through training with historical data, complex fault patterns and performance degradation trends are identified.

[0026] Multi-dimensional Analysis: It is not limited to the analysis of a single parameter, but also supports joint analysis across parameters. For example, by combining the change trends of temperature and pressure, potential leakage risks are judged.

[0027] Custom Rule Engine: Allows users to customize analysis rules according to actual needs, such as setting dynamic thresholds or combined conditions to trigger alarms, meeting application requirements in different scenarios.

[0028] Status Monitoring Module: Result Display: The results of data analysis are visually displayed in the form of charts, curves, etc. on the user interface, facilitating operators to quickly grasp the operating status of the device.

[0029] Early Warning Processing: When the system detects potential problems, it will immediately send out early warning messages, which not only include basic anomaly prompts but also give possible fault causes and recommended solutions.

[0030] User Interface Design: Provides a friendly and highly customizable user interface that supports multiple view modes (such as dashboards, trend charts, alarm lists, etc.).

[0031] Fault Cause Display: For detected anomalies, the system will list in detail the possible causes of the problem and provide specific fault location information in combination with historical data in the database and model analysis results. This helps technicians take measures quickly and reduce downtime.

[0032] The entire process starts with the opening and closing of the vacuum chamber door of the helium leak detection equipment as the trigger signal and performs the following steps: The system monitors the opening and closing status of the vacuum chamber door of the helium leak detection equipment, and uses this as the starting signal. Once the door opening signal is detected, the data acquisition process is initiated to obtain the operating parameters from the helium leak detection equipment. The collected data is preprocessed, including the identification and handling of outliers and missing values. The cleaned data will be stored in the database to ensure the quality of the data used for subsequent analysis. The database is not only responsible for storing the processed data, but also undertakes the task of feature extraction from these data. Feature extraction helps to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data analysis and provides strong support for subsequent diagnosis. A neural network model is used to analyze the data after feature extraction. The health status of the helium leak detection equipment is judged through machine learning algorithms, and potential problems are predicted. The data collected each time and the corresponding diagnostic results are displayed in real time on the user interface. The user interface provides an intuitive operation experience, allowing operators to monitor the equipment status and take corresponding measures based on the diagnostic results.

[0033] In terms of the neural network algorithm, the present invention uses GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) for fault diagnosis. GRU is a variant of the recurrent neural network (RNN). By introducing a gating mechanism to control the flow of information, it can more effectively capture the long-term dependencies in time series data. Its structure is as Figure 2 shown.

[0034] Among them, the update gate determines how much old information should be retained in the hidden state and how much new information should be added. It is calculated through a sigmoid function, and the output value is between 0 and 1, representing the proportion of retaining the old state and the new added information. The reset gate determines how much information from the previous hidden state should be ignored. This enables GRU to understand the relationships between elements in the sequence and at the same time dynamically adjust its internal state according to the time steps of the input data, so as to better adapt to the changes in the sequence.

[0036] Update gate: , .

[0037] Specific steps for establishing a fault diagnosis model using the GRU neural network: 1) Data preprocessing First, the collected data needs to be preprocessed. It is selected to normalize the data. The formula is as follows: Among them, represents the minimum value of represents the maximum value of 2) Construct a GRU neural network model When constructing the GRU neural network, set the number of nodes in the input layer to the embedding dimension n, and introduce a Dropout layer to avoid overfitting; the output layer uses the softmax activation function, and the number of nodes in the output layer is the number of fault classifications.

[0038] 3) Training process Regarding the training dataset, the training set is denoted as x_train and y_train, where x_train is the training data and y_train is the fault label of the training data.

[0039] Training steps of the GRU neural network: The first step: Initialize the network. Randomly initialize the weight matrices and bias vectors of the GRU layer (update gate, reset gate, candidate hidden state), the weight matrix and bias vector of the fully connected layer, and set the learning rate η.

[0040] The second step: Sample division. Divide the dataset into a training set and a test set, which are used for model training and performance evaluation respectively.

[0041] The third step: Forward propagation and error calculation. Input the training samples into the network, calculate the predicted output through forward propagation, and use an appropriate loss function, cross-entropy, to evaluate the error between the predicted value and the true value.

[0042] The fourth step: Backward propagation and parameter update. Based on the calculated error, use the backpropagation algorithm to calculate the gradients, and update the network parameters (including the weights and biases of the GRU layer and the fully connected layer) through the Adam optimizer. During this process, further improve the model generalization ability through the regularization technique Dropout.

[0043] The fifth step: Iteration and termination judgment. Check whether the termination conditions are met (such as reaching the maximum number of iterations or the validation set error no longer decreases). If not, return to the third step to continue the iteration; otherwise, save the optimal model and end the training.

[0044] 4) Verification of the GRU neural network model Deploy the trained optimal GRU model to the helium leak detection equipment health management system for actual testing to verify whether it can accurately predict faults.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments. The present invention extends to any new feature disclosed in this specification or any new combination, as well as any new method or process step disclosed or any new combination.
