These deficiencies make it difficult for existing fault warnings to meet the intelligent maintenance needs of large-scale and multi-equipment.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0047] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0048] Detailed Embodiment 1. In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 describe this embodiment. An agricultural machinery operation fault early warning method described in this embodiment, the early warning method includes:
[0049] S1. Initialization stage: Initialize the normal value N i of each sensor i of all subsystems of the agricultural machinery, i weight w i , and the lower limit L i and upper limit U, where i is the index of the sensor serial number; in specific applications, all subsystems of the agricultural machinery include the power system, the transmission and walking system, the hydraulic system, the working system, the electrical and control system, and the environmental monitoring system;
[0050] S2. Data acquisition: In the j-th sampling period, collect the original measurement values x i,j (t) of each sensor i of all subsystems of the agricultural machinery at each moment t; the initial value of j is 1; t = 1, 2...

[0051] S3. Data preprocessing:
[0052] According to L i and U i , obtain H i = 0.5(U i - L i ), and H i is the half-range width of sensor i;
[0053] According to N i and H i , calculate the normalized value x i,j ′(t) of the original measurement value of each sensor i in the j-th sampling period, and then perform filter compensation on each normalized value x i,j ′(t) to obtain the filter compensation value
[0054] S4. According to the filter compensation values of each sensor at each moment in the j-th sampling period and the corresponding weight w i , calculate the overall fault score S j (t) at each moment in the j-th sampling period; according to the filter compensation values of all sensors at each moment in the j-th sampling period, calculate the fault propagation correction term ΔS j (t) at each moment in the j-th sampling period; use ΔS j (t) to correct S j (t) to obtain the corrected overall fault score S aj (t);
[0055] S5. Segmentally map S aj (t) to obtain the fault probability P j (t) at moment t in the j-th sampling period; specifically,
[0056]
[0057] S6. According to P j(t) value, determine the warning level L at time t in the jth sampling period j (t),
[0058]
[0059] If the warning level is L j (t) If it is determined to be a high-level warning, a repair is reported and the warning ends; otherwise, step S7 is executed;
[0060] S7. Determine whether j is greater than 1. If not, set j = j + 1 and execute step S2. If yes, set j = j + 1 and execute step S8.
[0061] S8. Calculate μ based on the original measurement value collected in the j-1th sampling period i,j and σ i,j , where μ i,j is the mean value of the sampling value of sensor i in the jth sampling period, σ i,j is the standard deviation of the sampling value of sensor i in the jth sampling period;

[0067]
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] Specifically, the original data collected by each sensor i is normalized according to the preset normal value (denoted as N i ) and the lower limit L of the range i and the upper limit U i (the values can be as shown in Table 1). The present invention adopts linear normalization to map the deviation degree to the interval [0,1] to reflect the deviation degree; therefore, in step S3, the implementation method of calculating the normalized value x i,j ′(t) of the original measurement value of each sensor i is as follows:
[0071]
[0072] In this preferred embodiment, the normal value N i and the half-range width H of the sensor i i are used for linear normalization to map the deviation degree to the interval [0,1] to eliminate the influence of dimension, facilitate comprehensive analysis, intuitively reflect the degree of abnormality, enhance the anti-noise ability, facilitate model training and optimization, flexibly adapt to multi-condition changes, and when applied, when x i,j (t) = N i , a i (t) = 0 (normal state). When x i,j (t) deviates from N i by reaching or exceeding the half-range width H i = 0.5[U i -L i , a i (t) = 1 (full score for abnormality). a i (t) represents the normalized abnormality degree of the sensor i at a certain moment.
[0073] Specifically, in step S3, the implementation method of obtaining the filtering compensation value of the sensor i is as follows:
[0074]
[0075] Among them, θ is the anomaly threshold, and c is the compensation factor. During application, generally, the anomaly threshold θ = 0.9 and the compensation factor c = 0.1 are taken to perform filtering compensation on the normalized value.
[0076] In this preferred embodiment, for each normalized value x i,j ′(t), filtering compensation is performed to obtain the filtering compensation value of sensor i The purpose is to further suppress the residual high-frequency noise and short-time pulse interference after preprocessing such as linear normalization, so as to obtain higher robustness and stability in subsequent performance, significantly reduce the false alarm and miss rate, improve the warning sensitivity and lead time, and achieve real-time, accurate warning and dynamic adaptation of agricultural machinery equipment failures.
[0077] During specific application, in step S4, n is the total number of sensors. The overall fault score at each moment is calculated through the weights of all sensors. This calculation method organically integrates multi-dimensional sensor data of multiple subsystems such as power, transmission, hydraulic pressure, working components, electricity, and environment into a single fault score; with the reasonable allocation of the weights of each sensor, the fault signals of key components are highlighted, while general noise and short-time interference are weakened; the weighted accumulation operation is simple and efficient, suitable for real-time execution on edge devices; combined with the smoothed anomaly degree after filtering compensation, the robustness and stability of the fault score can be significantly improved, reducing false alarms and missed reports; at the same time, this method supports flexible addition and subtraction of sensors and dynamic adjustment of weights, and has good scalability and scene adaptability. During specific application, in step S4, m i is the preset fault propagation coefficient of sensor i, and n is the total number of sensors. The fault propagation correction term ΔS is calculated through the filtering compensation value j (t) and the fault propagation coefficient of each sensor i. This calculation method combines propagation correction and weighted summation, which not only enhances the sensitivity to key fault signals but also avoids over-response caused by local noise or occasional anomalies, further improving the accuracy and stability of early warning.
[0078] During specific application, in step S4, S aj (t) = S j (t) + ΔS j (t).
[0079] And in step S7, the implementation methods for calculating μ i,j and σ i,j include:
[0080]
[0081] The implementation method for updating the normal value N of sensor i is: N i is updated as: N i = μ i,j ;
[0082] The implementation method for updating the lower limit L of the measurement range of sensor i i is updated as: L i = μ i,j - 2σ i,j ;
[0083] The implementation method for updating the upper limit U of the measurement range of sensor i i is updated as: U i = μ i,j + 2σ i,j ;
[0084] The implementation method for updating the weight w of sensor i i is updated as follows:
[0085] S41. Define the indication function of sensor i at time t within the jth sampling period
[0086] S42. Calculate the abnormal proportion of sensor i within the jth sampling period according to I j (t)
[0087] S43. Adjust w i,j according to Δ i to obtain the adjusted weight w i ' of sensor i = w i (1 + 0.1Δ i,j );
[0088] S44. Update w i according to the adjusted weights of all sensors to obtain the updated weight of sensor i, completing the weight update of sensor i. n is the total number of sensors
[0089] In this preferred embodiment, a real-time calibration mechanism is provided to update the normal value N i , weight w i , lower limit L i of the measurement range, and upper limit U i of each sensor i in each sampling period, effectively capturing subtle abnormalities of the device under high load and multiple working conditions; dynamically adjusting the weights of each sensor according to the abnormal proportion within the statistical time window, and calculating the overall fault score in combination with the weights of each sensor to improve the accuracy of the acquired data, thereby improving the early warning accuracy
[0090] Specific Embodiment 2. The agricultural machinery operation fault warning system described in this embodiment includes a storage device, a processor, and a computer program stored in the storage device and executable on the processor. The processor executes the computer program to implement the agricultural machinery operation fault warning method as described above.
[0091] Principle Analysis:
[0092] The system collects power, transmission, hydraulic, working component, electrical, and environmental monitoring data through 31 types of key sensors, and performs linear normalization processing on each data to eliminate the influence of different measurement units on the calculation.
[0093] Secondly, according to the sensor fault propagation coefficient and the dynamic anomaly detection mechanism, the weights of the sensors are adjusted, and the comprehensive fault score is calculated in combination with the preset fault propagation model.
[0094] The system uses a piecewise linear function and a Sigmoid non-linear mapping method to convert the fault score into a specific fault probability, and compares it with the set threshold. If the fault probability exceeds the safety threshold, the system triggers a real-time warning to notify the operation and maintenance personnel to take maintenance measures in time.
