Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of sensor operation, and particularly to a method, device, equipment and readable storage medium for low-power operation of a sensor. Background Art

[0002] Ice formation is a common natural phenomenon, and icing can cause serious harm to normal production and life. Ice formation on the blades of wind turbines can cause the wind turbines to be unable to generate electricity normally, icing on power transmission and transformation equipment can cause the power grid to be unable to operate safely and stably, and icing on the wings of airplanes can cause the airplanes to be unable to fly safely, etc.

[0003] Currently, the means for icing monitoring mainly include mechanical method / weighing method, image method, fiber optic sensing method, etc. The mechanical method / weighing method calculates the icing thickness by measuring the strain or weight change of the object under test after icing. The image method obtains the icing image through a camera or an unmanned aerial vehicle and uses image recognition technology to calculate the icing thickness. The fiber optic sensing method calculates the icing thickness by obtaining the stress change of the object under test through a grating sensor or a distributed Brillouin scattering optical fiber sensor.

[0004] However, for some scenarios such as wind turbine blades and airplane wings, these scenarios have high requirements for the surface of the external contour. It is difficult to arrange traditional wired sensors. For wireless sensors, power supply is difficult because there are often long periods of rainy weather in winter and they cannot get solar charging for a long time. There are major challenges in power supply and long-term battery life for icing monitoring sensors. The existing conventional technical means are to increase the battery capacity and combine with the low-power operation of the sensor to try to extend the battery life of the icing monitoring sensor. However, in terms of the operation strategy, only the low-power angle is considered, without considering the actual situation, and it cannot meet the actual application requirements such as icing monitoring, and the battery life effect is also not good.

[0055] To better understand the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present disclosure, the solutions of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0056] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments.

[0057] Icing is a common natural phenomenon, and ice accretion can cause serious harm to normal production and life. Ice accretion on the blades of wind turbines can cause the wind turbines to fail to generate electricity normally, ice accretion on power transmission and transformation equipment can cause the power grid to fail to operate safely and stably, ice accretion on the wings of airplanes can cause the airplanes to fail to fly safely, etc.

[0058] Currently, the means of ice accretion monitoring mainly include the mechanical method / weighing method, the image method, the fiber optic sensing method, etc. The mechanical method / weighing method calculates the ice accretion thickness by measuring the strain or weight change of the object under test after ice accretion. The image method obtains the ice accretion image through a camera or a drone and uses image recognition technology to calculate the ice accretion thickness. The fiber optic sensing method calculates the ice accretion thickness by obtaining the stress change of the object under test through a grating sensor or a distributed Brillouin scattering fiber optic sensor.

[0059] However, for some scenarios such as wind turbine blades and airplane wings, which have high requirements for the surface of the outer contour, it is difficult to arrange traditional wired sensors. For wireless sensors, power supply is difficult because long-term rainy weather often occurs in winter, and solar charging cannot be obtained for a long time. There are major challenges in power supply and long-term endurance for ice accretion monitoring sensors. The existing conventional technical means is to increase the battery capacity and combine the low-power operation of the sensor to try to extend the endurance time of the ice accretion monitoring sensor. However, in terms of the operation strategy, only the low-power angle is considered, without considering the actual situation, and it cannot meet the actual application requirements such as ice accretion monitoring, and the endurance effect is also not good.

[0060] To address this problem, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for low-power operation of sensors, which will be introduced below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0061] Figure 1Flowchart of the method for low-power operation of a sensor provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The execution subject of this method is an electronic device. The electronic device can be a portable mobile device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a vehicle navigation device, or a smart sports device; it can also be a fixed device such as a personal computer, a smart home appliance, or a server. Among them, the server can be a single server, or it can be a server cluster. The server cluster can be a distributed cluster or a centralized cluster. Specifically, the electronic device can be a device that controls the sensor, or it can be a control unit or component of the sensor itself. This method can be applied to the scenario of controlling the sensor to operate with low power. It can be understood that the method for low-power operation of the sensor provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can also be applied to other scenarios.

[0062] The following Figure 1 introduces the method for low-power operation of the sensor shown below. The specific steps included in this method are as follows:

[0063] S101. Set the operation-related parameters for the icing monitoring sensor. The operation-related parameters include the maximum allowable acquisition time interval and the minimum acquisition time interval.

[0064] In this step, as Figure 2 shown, the electronic device will set the operation-related parameters of the sensor, that is, set the operation-related parameters for the icing monitoring sensor. Optionally, the operation-related parameters may include the maximum allowable acquisition time interval and the minimum acquisition time interval, or may include various thresholds, such as the ambient temperature threshold, the icing thickness change rate threshold, the first battery power threshold, the second battery power threshold, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0065] In some embodiments, the maximum allowable acquisition time interval is 12 hours and the minimum acquisition time interval is 3 minutes, which is not specifically limited.

[0066] S102. Obtain the current environmental condition data of the icing monitoring sensor.

[0067] In this step, when preparing to start a new round of data acquisition, the electronic device will obtain the current environmental condition data of the icing monitoring sensor. Optionally, the current environmental condition data includes external environmental data and sensor own data. As Figure 2 shown, the electronic device will obtain the environmental and sensor body data.

[0068] In some embodiments, the current environmental condition data includes ambient temperature, remaining battery power, recent charging speed, power consumption speed, and icing thickness change rate.

[0069] Optionally, the current environmental condition data may include one or more of environmental temperature, remaining battery power, recent charging speed, power consumption speed, and icing thickness change rate, or may include other data, which is not specifically limited herein. Among them, the environmental temperature and the icing thickness change rate characterize the external environmental data, and the remaining battery power, the recent charging speed, and the power consumption speed characterize the sensor's own data.

[0070] In some embodiments, S102 may include but is not limited to S1021 and S1022:

[0071] S1021, read the environmental temperature and remaining battery power of the icing monitoring sensor;

[0072] S1022, calculate the recent charging speed and power consumption speed of the icing monitoring sensor, and calculate the icing thickness change rate.

[0073] In some embodiments, S1022 may include but is not limited to Step A, Step B, and Step C:

[0074] Step A, calculate the maximum value of the charging amount per unit time in the past target time period, and determine the maximum value of the charging amount as the recent charging speed;

[0075] In this step, the recent charging speed is the maximum value of the charging amount per unit time in the past target time period, that is

[0076]

[0077] where, △C represents the recent charging speed, SOC n is the remaining battery power at time n, SOC n-t is the remaining battery power at time n - t, and t is the time length.

[0078] In an optional implementation manner, the target time period is 24 hours, each unit time is one hour, the maximum value of the charging amount per hour in the past 24 hours is calculated to be 10%, and then the recent charging speed is determined to be 10%.

[0079] Step B, calculate the average value of the power consumption in the past preset first time period, and determine the average value of the power consumption as the power consumption speed;

[0080] In this step, the power consumption speed is the average value of the power consumption in the past preset first time period, positive when the power decreases, and negative when the power increases, that is

[0081]

[0082] where, △SOC represents the power consumption speed, SOC nThe remaining battery power at time n, SOC n-t The remaining battery power at time n - t, where t is the time length.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, a first preset time period is set to 24 hours, and the average power consumption per hour within the past 24 hours is calculated to be 5%, thereby determining the power consumption rate to be 5%.

[0084] Step C: Calculate the average value of the change in ice thickness within a preset second time period in the past, and determine the average value of the change in ice thickness as the ice thickness change rate.

[0085] In this step, the ice thickness change rate is the average value of the change in ice thickness within a preset second time period in the past, that is

[0086]

[0087] where △D represents the ice thickness change rate, D n is the ice thickness at time n, D n-t is the ice thickness at time n - t, where t is the time length.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, the second preset time period is set to 12 hours, and the average value of the change in ice thickness within the past 12 hours is calculated, and then the average value of the change in ice thickness is determined as the ice thickness change rate.

[0089] It should be noted that the target time period, the first preset time period, and the second preset time period can be set to the same value or different values, and can be set according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0090] S103: Combine the operation-related parameters, and based on the current environmental condition data, determine the current acquisition time interval of the ice coverage monitoring sensor.

[0091] In this step, after obtaining the current environmental condition data of the ice coverage monitoring sensor, the electronic device can combine the operation-related parameters and, based on the current environmental condition data, determine the current acquisition time interval of the ice coverage monitoring sensor.

[0092] S104: Control the ice coverage monitoring sensor to collect ice coverage monitoring data based on the current acquisition time interval and transmit the collected ice coverage monitoring data to the background.

[0093] Further, the electronic device can control the icing monitoring sensor to collect icing monitoring data based on the current acquisition time interval, and control the icing monitoring sensor to transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background. It can adaptively adjust the acquisition time interval of the sensor based on the current environmental condition data to achieve low-power operation.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting operation-related parameters for the icing monitoring sensor, the operation-related parameters include the maximum allowable acquisition time interval and the minimum acquisition time interval, obtaining the current environmental condition data of the icing monitoring sensor, combining the operation-related parameters, and determining the current acquisition time interval of the icing monitoring sensor based on the current environmental condition data, controlling the icing monitoring sensor to collect icing monitoring data based on the current acquisition time interval and transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background. Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present disclosure can adaptively adjust the acquisition time interval of the sensor based on the current environmental condition data, optimize the operation strategy of the sensor according to the environmental situation and the situation of the sensor itself, can meet the actual application requirements such as icing monitoring of the sensor while minimizing the power consumption of the icing monitoring of the sensor to the greatest extent, can effectively extend the battery life of the sensor, ensure the effective operation of the sensor in the case of long-term rainy weather in winter, and can achieve a better battery life operation duration than the conventional operation strategy of the sensor.

[0095] Figure 3 The flowchart of the method for low-power operation of the sensor provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure is as Figure 3 shown, and the method includes the following steps:

[0096] S201. Set operation-related parameters for the icing monitoring sensor, where the operation-related parameters include the maximum allowable acquisition time interval and the minimum acquisition time interval.

[0097] Specifically, the implementation processes and principles of S201 and S101 are the same, and will not be elaborated here.

[0098] S202. Obtain the current environmental condition data of the icing monitoring sensor.

[0099] Specifically, the implementation processes and principles of S202 and S102 are the same, and will not be elaborated here.

[0100] S203. Judge whether the current meets the target conditions based on the current environmental condition data, where the target conditions include that the environmental temperature is less than or equal to the environmental temperature threshold and the icing thickness change rate is greater than or equal to the icing thickness change rate threshold.

[0101] In this step, as Figure 2As shown, the electronic device determines whether the icing monitoring sensor currently meets the target conditions based on the current environmental condition data. Specifically, it can determine whether the current meets the target conditions based on the environmental temperature and the change rate of the icing thickness.

[0102] Optionally, the target condition may refer to the icing growth / ablation condition. The target condition includes that the environmental temperature is less than or equal to the environmental temperature threshold and the change rate of the icing thickness is greater than or equal to the change rate threshold of the icing thickness, that is, T ≤ H T and ΔD ≥ H D .

[0103] Wherein, T is the environmental temperature, H T is the environmental temperature threshold, △D represents the change rate of the icing thickness, and H D is the change rate threshold of the icing thickness.

[0104] Optionally, the environmental temperature threshold can be 5°C, and the change rate threshold of the icing thickness is 0.02 mm / min. It can also be set to other values without specific limitation. When the environmental temperature is not higher than 5°C and the change rate of the icing thickness is not lower than 0.02 mm / min, it is determined that the target conditions are met.

[0105] S204. If it is determined that the current meets the target conditions, based on the current environmental condition data, calculate the current acquisition time interval of the icing monitoring sensor.

[0106] In this step, as Figure 2 shown, if it is determined that the icing monitoring sensor currently meets the target conditions, the electronic device can calculate the current acquisition time interval of the icing monitoring sensor based on the current environmental condition data. Specifically, the current acquisition time interval can be calculated according to data such as the remaining battery power, the recent charging speed, the power consumption speed, and the change rate of the icing thickness.

[0107] In some embodiments, S204 may include but is not limited to S2041, S2042, S2043:

[0108] S2041. If the remaining battery power is greater than the first power threshold, set the current acquisition time interval to the minimum acquisition time interval;

[0109] As Figure 2 shown, when the remaining battery power is greater than the first power threshold, set the current acquisition time interval to the minimum acquisition time interval.

[0110] S2042. If the remaining battery power is less than the second power threshold, set the current acquisition time interval to the maximum allowable acquisition time interval;

[0111] As Figure 2As shown, when the remaining battery power is less than the second power threshold, the current acquisition time interval is set to the maximum allowable acquisition time interval.

[0112] S2043. If the remaining battery power is greater than or equal to the second power threshold and less than or equal to the first power threshold, then based on the recent charging speed, power consumption speed, and icing thickness change rate, the current acquisition time interval is calculated using a preset acquisition time interval formula.

[0113] As Figure 2 shown, when the remaining battery power is greater than or equal to the second power threshold and less than or equal to the first power threshold, the current acquisition time interval is calculated using a preset acquisition time interval formula. Among them, the first power threshold is greater than the second power threshold.

[0114] Specifically, taking the first power threshold as 90%, the second power threshold as 10%, the maximum allowable acquisition time interval as 12 hours, and the minimum acquisition time interval as 3 minutes as an example for illustration. If the remaining battery power is higher than 90%, the current acquisition time interval is set to the minimum acquisition time interval, which is 3 minutes; if the remaining battery power is lower than 10%, the current acquisition time interval is set to the maximum allowable acquisition time interval, which is 12 hours; if the remaining battery power is between 10% and 90%, then the current acquisition time interval is calculated using a preset acquisition time interval formula. The preset acquisition time interval formula is:

[0115]

[0116] In the formula, w1 and w2 are the weights of the power consumption speed and the icing thickness change rate on the acquisition time interval respectively. In this embodiment, w1 and w2 can take values of 1 and 2, without specific limitation.

[0117] Among them, x1, x2, and x3 are determined by the following relational expressions. It is set that when the power consumption speed is greater than b, the acquisition time interval is the maximum allowable acquisition time interval t2; when the recent charging speed is less than a, the acquisition time interval is the minimum acquisition time interval t1; when the charging and discharging are balanced (i.e., ΔSOC = 0), the acquisition time interval is t0, then we get:

[0118]

[0119] Taking b = 10%, a = -5%, the minimum acquisition time interval t1 = 3 minutes, the maximum allowable acquisition time interval t2 = 12 hours, and t0 = 30 minutes as an example for illustration, then the calculation is as follows:

[0120]

[0121] Substitute the values of x1, x2, and x3 into the preset acquisition time interval formula, and the current acquisition time interval can be calculated. For example, when the power consumption rate per hour is 5% and the ice thickness change rate is 0.1 mm / min, the acquisition time interval is 148.6 minutes. When the charging rate per hour is -3% and the ice thickness change rate is 0.1 mm / min, the acquisition time interval is 9.34 minutes.

[0122] S205. If it is determined that the current does not meet the target condition, set the current acquisition time interval to the maximum allowable acquisition time interval based on the operation-related parameters.

[0123] In this step, as Figure 2 shown, if it is determined that the ice monitoring sensor does not meet the target condition currently, the electronic device will set the current acquisition time interval (Δt) to the maximum allowable acquisition time interval.

[0124] S206. Determine whether the ice monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep condition based on the current environmental condition data.

[0125] In this step, as Figure 2 shown, the electronic device will determine whether the ice monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep condition according to the current environmental condition data.

[0126] In some embodiments, if it is determined that the ice monitoring sensor does not meet the preset sleep condition currently, after waiting for the current acquisition time interval, collect the ice monitoring data and transmit the collected ice monitoring data to the background.

[0127] In some embodiments, S206 may include but is not limited to S2061 and S2062:

[0128] S2061. If it is detected that the remaining battery power is less than the second power threshold, the recent charging rate is less than the charging rate threshold, and the current does not meet the target condition, determine that the ice monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep condition;

[0129] In this embodiment, taking the second power threshold as 10% and the charging rate threshold as 10% as an example for illustration, there is no specific limitation. When it is detected that the remaining battery power is less than the second power threshold of 10%, the recent charging rate is less than the charging rate threshold of 10%, and the ice monitoring sensor does not meet the target condition currently, the electronic device determines that the ice monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep condition, and then will control the ice monitoring sensor to enter the sleep state.

[0130] Optionally, the target condition includes that the environmental temperature is less than or equal to the environmental temperature threshold and the ice thickness change rate is greater than or equal to the ice thickness change rate threshold, that is, T≤H T and ΔD≥HD .

[0131] Among them, T is the ambient temperature, and H T is the ambient temperature threshold, △D represents the icing thickness change rate, and H D is the icing thickness change rate threshold.

[0132] Optionally, the ambient temperature threshold can be 5°C, and the icing thickness change rate threshold can be 0.02 mm / min. Other values can also be set, without specific limitation. When the ambient temperature is not higher than 5°C and the icing thickness change rate is not lower than 0.02 mm / min, it is determined that the target condition is met.

[0133] S2062: If it is detected that the remaining battery power is greater than or equal to the second power threshold, or the recent charging speed is greater than or equal to the charging speed threshold, or the current target condition is met, it is determined that the icing monitoring sensor currently does not meet the preset sleep condition.

[0134] In this embodiment, the second power threshold is taken as 10% and the charging speed threshold is taken as 10% for illustration, without specific limitation. When it is detected that the remaining battery power is greater than or equal to the second power threshold of 10%, or the recent charging speed is greater than or equal to the charging speed threshold of 10%, or the icing monitoring sensor currently meets the target condition, the electronic device determines that the icing monitoring sensor currently does not meet the preset sleep condition, and then controls the icing monitoring sensor to exit the sleep state.

[0135] S207: When it is determined that the icing monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep condition, control the icing monitoring sensor to enter the sleep mode, control the icing monitoring sensor to collect icing monitoring data based on the target collection time interval, and not transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background.

[0136] In this step, as Figure 2 shown, if the icing monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep condition, the electronic device will control the icing monitoring sensor to enter the sleep mode. Further, control the icing monitoring sensor to collect icing monitoring data based on the target collection time interval, and control the icing monitoring sensor not to transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background, which can reduce power consumption and thus extend the battery life. Optionally, the target collection time interval can be set by itself, such as 24 hours, without limitation.

[0137] S208: When the icing monitoring sensor is in the sleep mode, if it is determined that the icing monitoring sensor currently does not meet the preset sleep condition, control the icing monitoring sensor to exit the sleep mode, control the icing monitoring sensor to collect icing monitoring data at the maximum allowable collection time interval, and transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background.

[0138] In this step, when the icing monitoring sensor is already in the sleep mode, if it is determined that the icing monitoring sensor currently does not meet the preset sleep conditions, the electronic device will control the icing monitoring sensor to exit the sleep mode. Further, the icing monitoring sensor is controlled to collect icing monitoring data at the maximum allowable collection time interval, and the icing monitoring sensor is controlled to transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background, which can reduce the power consumption while meeting the actual application requirements such as icing monitoring, thereby prolonging the battery life.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the operation-related parameters for the icing monitoring sensor, the operation-related parameters include the maximum allowable collection time interval and the minimum collection time interval, and the current environmental condition data of the icing monitoring sensor is obtained. Further, based on the current environmental condition data, it is determined whether the target condition is currently met. If it is determined that the target condition is currently met, then based on the current environmental condition data, the current collection time interval of the icing monitoring sensor is calculated; if it is determined that the target condition is not currently met, then based on the operation-related parameters, the current collection time interval is set to the maximum allowable collection time interval. Next, based on the current environmental condition data, it is determined whether the icing monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep conditions. When it is determined that the icing monitoring sensor currently meets the preset sleep conditions, the icing monitoring sensor is controlled to enter the sleep mode, and the icing monitoring sensor is controlled to collect icing monitoring data based on the target collection time interval and not transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background. Furthermore, when the icing monitoring sensor is in the sleep mode, if it is determined that the icing monitoring sensor currently does not meet the preset sleep conditions, then the icing monitoring sensor is controlled to exit the sleep mode, and the icing monitoring sensor is controlled to collect icing monitoring data at the maximum allowable collection time interval and transmit the collected icing monitoring data to the background. Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present disclosure adaptively adjusts the collection time interval of the sensor based on the measurement data of the external environment or the sensor itself such as the environmental temperature, the remaining battery power, the power consumption speed, and the icing thickness change rate of the icing monitoring sensor, and further optimizes the sensor operation strategy according to the environmental situation and the sensor itself situation, which can meet the actual application requirements such as sensor icing monitoring while minimizing the power consumption of the sensor icing monitoring to the greatest extent, effectively prolong the battery life of the sensor, and ensure the effective operation of the sensor under long-term rainy weather conditions in winter.
