Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chemical laboratory bench equipment monitoring technology, integrating technologies and fields such as sensor technology, communication timing, three-dimensional modeling, digital twin technology and AI artificial intelligence algorithms. Background Art
[0002] Traditional chemical experiment monitoring relies primarily on direct observation and manual recording by the experimenter. This method is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also susceptible to human error, limiting the accuracy and traceability of experimental data. Video recording is also available, but the information recorded is less comprehensive and in-depth. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and digital twin technology, the development of a system that can automatically and intelligently monitor chemical experimental processes and create a digital twin of the experimental environment and process has become a key development direction in chemical experiment monitoring technology.
[0003] Digital twin technology integrates multidisciplinary, multi-physics, multi-scale, and multi-probability simulation processes to map physical equipment in a virtual space, reflecting the entire lifecycle of the corresponding physical equipment. Applying digital twin technology to chemical laboratory monitoring enables real-time simulation, monitoring, and analysis of experimental processes, improving the accuracy and traceability of experimental data while providing intelligent optimization recommendations for experimenters.
[0004] However, most existing chemical experiment monitoring systems can only achieve single data collection or display functions, lacking comprehensive monitoring capabilities and intelligent analysis capabilities. Therefore, developing a chemical laboratory bench experimental process monitoring system based on digital twin technology is of great significance for improving the efficiency and accuracy of chemical experiments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chemical laboratory bench experimental process monitoring system based on digital twin technology. The system integrates multiple sensors such as high-definition cameras, barometers, thermometers, infrared imaging equipment, and hygrometers, as well as a human-computer interface and real-time data transmission module, enabling comprehensive monitoring of the chemical experiment process. At the same time, through computer learning and specific algorithm models, the system can analyze experimental data, provide optimization suggestions for the experiment, and construct a digital twin model of the experimental environment and process, achieving traceability of experimental steps and environment.
[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a chemical laboratory bench experimental process monitoring system based on digital twin technology, comprising: 1. Data acquisition module: HD camera: Used to capture high-definition video data during experiments, recording experimental details and phenomena. The HD camera can be fixed in a suitable position on the chemical laboratory bench to ensure that key steps and changes in the experimental process are clearly captured.
[0007] Barometer: Used to monitor the air pressure changes in the experimental environment in real time. Air pressure is one of the important factors affecting the results of chemical experiments. The barometer can record the air pressure data in real time during the experiment, providing an important reference for experimental analysis.
[0008] Thermometer: Used to monitor temperature changes in the experimental environment in real time. Temperature is a key factor affecting chemical reaction rates and product properties. A thermometer can record ambient temperature data in real time during the experiment, helping to analyze the accuracy of experimental results.
[0009] Infrared imaging equipment: Used to record temperature changes on the lab bench, in containers, and during experiments. Infrared imaging equipment provides thermal imaging data, helping experimenters intuitively understand the temperature changes of elements such as the bench, instruments, and reagents during the experiment, allowing for more accurate analysis of experimental results.
[0010] Hygrometer: Used to monitor humidity changes in the experimental environment in real time. Humidity is one of the important factors affecting the results of chemical experiments. A hygrometer can record humidity data in real time during the experiment, providing an important basis for experimental analysis.
[0011] Spectral illuminance meter: used to record the light intensity of the experimental environment in real time, providing a basis for later experimental analysis, data comparison, etc.
[0012] 2. Human-computer interaction interface: The human-computer interaction interface allows experimenters to manually enter or import the experimental framework, including information such as the experimental purpose, experimental steps, required reagents, etc. Experimenters can conveniently set experimental parameters and conditions through the human-computer interaction interface to ensure the accuracy and traceability of the experiment.
[0013] During the experiment, the human-computer interaction interface also provides real-time manual entry of experimental changes. Experimenters can record key steps, abnormal phenomena, or data changes at any time for subsequent analysis and optimization.
[0014] At the end of the experiment, the human-computer interface allows the experimenter to enter the experimental results, including the properties of the experimental product, yield, etc. This information will be stored together with the data during the experiment, providing a basis for subsequent experimental analysis and optimization.
[0015] 3. Data transmission module: The data transmission module uses an image transmission module for real-time data transmission. This module utilizes high-speed wireless communication technology to transmit high-definition video data, environmental parameter data, and other data to a central processing unit or cloud server in real time. This ensures the real-time and accuracy of experimental data, providing strong support for subsequent analysis and optimization.
[0016] 4. Data display module: The data display module uses a dashboard to display experimental data in real time. The dashboard displays high-definition video, environmental parameter data, experimental steps, and other information, which updates synchronously with the experimental process. This allows experimenters to intuitively understand the progress and status of the experiment, allowing them to promptly identify and address any anomalies.
[0017] 5. Data preprocessing module: The data preprocessing module performs preprocessing operations on the collected raw data, including cleaning, missing value processing, and normalization. Data cleaning can remove invalid or redundant data to improve data quality; missing value processing can fill in gaps in the data to ensure data integrity; and normalization can convert the data to a consistent scale to facilitate subsequent processing and analysis by algorithm models.
[0018] 6. Algorithm model and analysis module: The algorithmic model and analysis module uses algorithms such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and linear regression to establish experimental models. Using preprocessed data, the algorithmic model can identify key steps and characteristics of the experimental process and provide optimization suggestions. For example, by analyzing the changing trends of parameters such as temperature, air pressure, and humidity during the experiment, the algorithmic model can predict the trends of experimental results and potential problems, thereby guiding experimenters to make appropriate adjustments and optimizations.
[0019] Furthermore, algorithmic models can leverage machine learning techniques to conduct in-depth mining and analysis of experimental data. By training on large amounts of experimental data, machine learning models can learn the underlying patterns and characteristics of the experimental process, providing more intelligent optimization recommendations. For example, by analyzing abnormal data and changing trends during the experiment, machine learning models can predict potential failures or problems and provide corresponding solutions or preventative measures.
[0020] 7. Digital twin construction and experimental scene reproduction module: The digital twin construction module builds a digital twin model of the experimental environment and process based on preprocessed data and AI data analysis results from the algorithm model. The digital twin model can reflect various parameters and status changes during the experiment in real time, providing experimenters with a visual simulation of the experimental environment and process.
[0021] Digital twin models allow experimenters to conduct experimental simulations and predictive analysis in a virtual environment. Based on the data and visualization provided by the digital twin, they can adjust experimental conditions and procedures and optimize experimental plans. This not only improves experimental efficiency but also reduces costs and risks.
[0022] If necessary, this module can be used to reproduce the scene of the experiment for which the digital twin model has been built, and the various experimental details of the experiment at that time can be carefully and repeatedly analyzed.
[0023] 8. Optimization suggestion module: The optimization suggestion module provides experimenters with experimental optimization suggestions based on the analysis results of the algorithm model and the visualization information of the digital twin model. These suggestions can include adjusting experimental conditions (such as temperature, air pressure, and humidity), optimizing experimental procedures, and improving experimental methods. These suggestions aim to improve experimental accuracy and efficiency while reducing experimental costs and risks.
