Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent maintenance of fire-fighting equipment, and in particular to a fault prediction method for intelligent fire-fighting equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread adoption of smart firefighting systems in high-rise buildings, industrial parks, and other scenarios, numerous firefighting terminals are prone to failures. Traditional firefighting equipment maintenance suffers from the following technical flaws: Detection mechanisms are lagging: Relying on a single sensor threshold alarm (e.g., pressure exceeding the limit), it fails to identify complex faults (e.g., the coupling effect of abnormal pressure and electrical short circuits), resulting in an underreporting rate exceeding 30%. However, some existing technical improvement solutions still have limitations. Consequently, a smart firefighting equipment fault prediction method is currently lacking to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a method for predicting failures of intelligent fire fighting equipment.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A method for predicting failures of intelligent firefighting equipment comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1. Dynamically collect pressure, electrical waveform, and environmental data through multi-source sensors. The pressure sensor sampling rate is dynamically adjusted according to the pressure change rate.

[0007] S2. A bidirectional recurrent neural network is used to extract the long-term temporal features of pressure data, and a multi-scale convolutional network is used to capture the local mutation patterns of the electrical waveform.

[0008] S3. Use the cross-modal attention mechanism to dynamically weight the temporal features and waveform features to generate a comprehensive spatiotemporal feature matrix;

[0009] S4. Output the fault type and probability based on the gradient boosting decision tree model, and combine it with Bayesian regression to predict the remaining service life of the equipment;

[0011] S6. Generate the optimal maintenance path based on the dynamic programming algorithm and respond to sudden failures through the real-time scheduling engine.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present technical solution, the dynamic adjustment strategy of the pressure sensor sampling rate in step S1 is: a 50 Hz sampling rate is used when the pressure is stable, and it is automatically increased to 100 Hz when the pressure change rate exceeds 2 MPa / s.

[0013] As a further optimization of the present technical solution, the number of hidden units of the bidirectional recurrent neural network in step S2 is 32, and the time step is set to 60 sampling points.

[0014] As a further optimization of the present technical solution, the weight distribution of the cross-modal attention mechanism in step S3 satisfies the following rules: when burrs and distortions appear in the electrical waveform, the waveform feature weight is increased to 0.75-0.85; when the pressure drop exceeds the threshold, the timing feature weight accounts for more than 60%.

[0015] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the equipment health score in step S5 is calculated as follows: the failure probability weight accounts for 70%, and the remaining service life accounts for 30%; when the health score is lower than 0.6, the equipment self-check program is triggered.

[0016] As a further optimization of the present technical solution, the device self-test program includes memory check and verification, sensor reference value comparison, and communication module loop test.

[0017] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the constraints of the dynamic programming algorithm in step S6 include: emergency failure equipment response time ≤ 2 hours; key node equipment maintenance interval ≥ 14 days; the maximum number of devices maintained per day does not exceed 50.

[0018] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the real-time scheduling engine performs the following operations: fire alarm failures are automatically upgraded to the highest priority; sudden failures trigger online re-planning of maintenance paths, and the re-planning takes ≤30 seconds.

[0019] As a further optimization of this technical solution, it also includes: deploying edge computing nodes to perform real-time prediction, and configuring NPU coprocessors to make the inference speed ≥100 frames / second.

[0020] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the electrical waveform analysis includes 3rd / 5th / 7th harmonic detection, and the sampling accuracy is not less than 12 bits.

[0111] Technical Effect Summary Table

[0112]

[0113] Working Principle: This invention realizes fault prediction and maintenance optimization of intelligent firefighting equipment based on multimodal data fusion and closed-loop control mechanism. The specific working process is as follows:

[0114] Data Perception and Dynamic Collection: Pressure sensors, electrical analyzers, and environmental sensors collect real-time data on equipment operating status. The pressure sensor dynamically adjusts the sampling rate based on the rate of pressure change (50Hz for steady-state conditions and 100Hz for sudden changes) to ensure timely capture of abnormal signals. Electrical waveform data undergoes high-precision sampling (≥1MHz) and harmonic analysis (3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonic detection) to identify circuit anomalies.

[0115] Spatiotemporal Feature Fusion: Temporal feature extraction: A bidirectional LSTM network (32 hidden units) analyzes long-term dependencies in pressure data and captures slowly changing fault modes (such as pipeline leaks). Spatial feature extraction: A multi-scale dilated convolutional network (with dilation rates of 1 / 2 / 4) identifies local distortion features in electrical waveforms (such as voltage sags and harmonic glitches). Cross-modal attention: Dynamically weights pressure and electrical features (for example, a 60% weight for sudden pressure changes) to generate a 128-dimensional comprehensive feature vector.

[0116] Fault prediction and safety control: The gradient boosted decision tree (GBDT) model outputs fault type and probability based on fused features, and the Bayesian regression model predicts the remaining useful life (RUL). A health scoring system (H = 0.7P_f + 0.3RUL) dynamically assesses device status. When H < 0.6, firmware upgrades are blocked and self-test procedures (memory checksum and sensor baseline calibration) are triggered.

[0117] Dynamic optimization of maintenance paths: Based on device topology and fault priorities, an improved genetic algorithm (population size 200, adaptive crossover rate 0.7) is used to generate cost-optimized paths. The real-time scheduling engine responds to sudden faults (such as fire alarm anomalies), and replanning takes less than 30 seconds.

[0118] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto.
