Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of equipment fault prediction in the chemical industry, and particularly to a fault prediction method based on a cloud model and a simple basic probability distribution. Background Art

[0002] For the chemical industry, the stability of chemical equipment during operation can directly affect the benefits of chemical enterprises. The fault repair modes of chemical equipment mainly include preventive maintenance, condition-based maintenance, and breakdown maintenance. Regardless of the severity of the fault, the overall working efficiency of chemical enterprises will be affected to a certain extent during the fault repair period. If the fault is relatively serious, it will even affect the overall benefits of chemical enterprises. Therefore, for chemical enterprises, the repair mode is usually prevention-oriented and supplemented by maintenance. By regularly maintaining and servicing the equipment, the service life of chemical equipment can be effectively extended, and the safety performance of chemical equipment can be better ensured.

[0003] The chemical production process is usually continuous, and the cost of shutdown maintenance is high, so the requirements for the timeliness and accuracy of prediction are higher. The data of chemical equipment may be of high dimension, non-linear, and time-varying. Moreover, due to safety considerations, some key parameters may be difficult to monitor in real time. In addition, historical data may be insufficient, especially for new processes or new equipment, lacking sufficient fault samples, resulting in difficulties in training prediction models.

[0004] Chemical equipment is often in a harsh environment, such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosive gases or liquids, which will accelerate equipment aging and affect the life and data quality of sensors. The sensors themselves may be easily damaged or drifted in such an environment, resulting in inaccurate data.

[0005] Existing machine learning models may perform well under specific working conditions, but the chemical production conditions are variable, and the models may not be able to adapt to the changes in different working conditions, resulting in unstable prediction results. In addition, the multi-variable coupling relationship in the chemical process is complex, and traditional methods are difficult to capture these non-linear relationships. Traditional preventive maintenance may not be able to effectively cope with sudden faults, while predictive maintenance requires highly accurate model support. However, the complexity of chemical equipment makes it difficult for the model to cover all possible fault modes, resulting in missed alarms or false alarms. The chemical industry has extremely high safety requirements, and any prediction error may lead to serious consequences.

[0006] Therefore, proposing a fault prediction method based on a cloud model and a simple basic probability distribution to solve the difficulties existing in the prior art is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a fault prediction method based on cloud model and simple basic probability distribution, which solves the problem of low prediction accuracy of the intelligent diagnosis method for equipment faults in the chemical industry field. The cloud model is used for modeling, and the calculation process and fusion process of the basic probability distribution are greatly simplified through simple basic probability, thereby greatly reducing the amount of calculation and improving the accuracy of intelligent diagnosis of equipment faults.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A fault prediction method based on cloud model and simple basic probability distribution, comprising the following steps:

[0019] S32. Define the qualitative concept of the fault type, set semantic labels, and generate corresponding fault cloud models according to the semantic labels respectively;

[0020] S33. Based on the corresponding fault cloud model, output the fault type result.

[0021] Optionally, the semantic tags set in S32 include temperature characteristic data, pressure characteristic data, and vibration characteristic data. Cloud models between temperature characteristics and fault types, between pressure characteristics and fault types, and between vibration characteristics and fault types are generated respectively according to the semantic tags.

[0022] Optionally, the specific content of determining the basic probability assignment under different faults based on the simple basic probability distribution in S4 and using the D-S evidence fusion algorithm to fuse the basic probability assignment to obtain the final fused fault probability result is as follows:

[0023] Assume the current fault type set, θ = {fault 1, fault 2, fault 3};

[0024] For a certain feature, for example, the probability value a is calculated in the cloud model of fault 1 corresponding to the temperature feature. Then the basic probability distribution obtained for fault 1 under the corresponding temperature feature is:

[0025] m(fault 1) = a, m({fault 1, fault 2, fault 3}) = 1 - a;

[0026] Fuse the basic probability distributions of different faults under the temperature feature, and repeat the above steps for different faults to obtain the probability distributions of different fault types under the temperature feature;

[0027] Repeat the above steps to fuse the basic probability distributions of different faults under different features to obtain the final fused fault probability result.

[0028] Optionally, the fault levels output in S5 include four levels: normal state, potential fault, minor fault, and serious fault;

[0029] During the normal state, regular inspections are carried out; during the potential fault, predictive maintenance is carried out; during the minor fault, planned shutdown for maintenance is carried out; during the serious fault, immediate shutdown and notification for maintenance are carried out.

[0030] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a fault prediction method based on cloud models and simple basic probability distributions, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] (1) For each feature under each fault of equipment faults in the chemical industry field, the present invention corresponds a cloud model. Then the cloud model can calculate a simple basic probability distribution through samples, and fuse the simple basic probability distributions under all features through the DS evidence fusion algorithm, so as to finally obtain the probability of the corresponding fault;

[0032] (2) When the present invention performs intelligent diagnosis on equipment failures in the chemical industry field, a cloud model is used for modeling, making the model closer to the complex and changeable actual on-site environment. At the same time, the calculation process and fusion process of the basic probability distribution are greatly simplified through simple basic probability, thereby greatly reducing the calculation amount and improving the accuracy of intelligent diagnosis of equipment failures.
