Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a fault prediction method for a fresh air conditioning system, and also relates to a corresponding fault prediction device, and belongs to the technical field of air conditioning. BACKGROUND

[0002] The current fresh air conditioning system generally adopts a traditional maintenance mode of "periodic manual inspection", which lacks real-time and continuous performance monitoring means. Since the equipment state cannot be grasped at any time, the operation and maintenance personnel can only check on site according to a fixed cycle, so that potential problems are difficult to discover in time.

[0003] In the above mode, the system alarm mainly relies on a "single sensor threshold alarm" mechanism: a fixed threshold is set on the vibration or current sensor, and an alarm is triggered once the real-time value exceeds the threshold. The advantage of this scheme is low hardware cost and simple implementation, but the disadvantage is also significant - environmental interference (such as pressure difference fluctuation caused by change of air valve opening) is easy to cause misjudgment, and the false alarm rate is high; at the same time, it can only issue an alarm when the value has exceeded the standard, and cannot predict the occurrence of failure in advance.

[0004] In addition, the current "periodic manual inspection" can only rely on the experience of operation and maintenance personnel to conduct visual or aural inspection of the equipment, although obvious visible damage can be found, early and hidden performance degradation cannot be identified, and it is also difficult to quantitatively evaluate the health state of the equipment. On the other hand, some fresh air conditioning systems attempt to introduce a "simple data analysis" method, that is, based on historical operation data for statistics to determine whether there is an anomaly. However, this kind of method often only analyzes a single data source in isolation, lacks the ability to cooperatively process multiple source signals such as vibration, current, and environment, resulting in one-sided analysis results that are difficult to fully and accurately reflect the true health level of the equipment.

[0005] Under the superimposed effect of the above operation difficulties, "after-the-fact repair and shutdown replacement" has become the norm - bearings are not discovered until they are worn out, filters are not alarmed until they are clogged and the air volume is reduced, and motors are not shut down until they are overheated and burned due to dust accumulation. Each sudden failure not only brings high emergency repair costs, but also causes the fresh air conditioning system to be shut down for a long time, directly affecting indoor air quality and user health. Therefore, it is necessary to change from "passive repair" to "active prevention" by using real-time data-driven fault prediction technology to identify and quantify the remaining life when the equipment performance just shows signs of degradation, which has become an inevitable choice to reduce operation and maintenance costs, shorten downtime, and ensure the continuous and healthy operation of the system.

[0058] The technical content of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0059] The embodiments of the present application provide a fault prediction method and system for a fresh air air conditioning system. The entire system is composed of five levels of sensing layer, transmission layer, analysis layer, decision layer and application layer (as shown in Figure 2 ), to jointly realize the fault prediction method. Through data acquisition, feature extraction, state analysis, risk prediction and control feedback, a closed-loop management is formed between each level, for performance detection and fault prediction of the fresh air air conditioning system, so as to realize intelligent monitoring and operation and maintenance support for the equipment running state.

[0060] First embodiment

[0061] As shown in the structural diagram of the analysis layer in the second embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present application provides a fault prediction method for a fresh air air conditioning system, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0062] S10: Obtain multi-source sensing parameters.

[0063] In this embodiment, multi-source physical signals of the fresh air air conditioning system in the running process are collected by multi-source sensors, and preliminary processing is performed to obtain multi-source sensing parameters.

[0064] Specifically, the multi-source sensing parameters at least include:

[0065] (1) The vibration signal of the fresh air air conditioning system is collected by the MEMS piezoelectric array, and the frequency domain sparsification is performed on the vibration signal to extract the vibration sparse feature. The feature can be used to identify the early abnormal vibration feature of the key components (such as bearings and gears) of the equipment.

[0066] (2) The current signal of the fresh air air conditioning system is collected by the intelligent current sensor, and the harmonic analysis is performed on the current signal to extract the current compression feature, which is used to detect the motor running state, load change and electrical fault precursor.

[0067] (3) Through the environmental sensor, real-time collection of environmental parameters, including PM2.5 concentration, TVOC (total volatile organic compounds), temperature, humidity, etc., and vector normalization according to external environmental parameters to extract environmental state vectors, thereby providing basic data for subsequent environmental coupling analysis.

[0068] It can be understood that the vibration sparsity feature, current compression feature and environmental state vector together constitute the multi-source perception parameter. In other embodiments, other types of feature parameters can also be added as needed.

[0069] S20: Data compression forms a standardized data packet and is uploaded to the cloud or local server.

[0070] After obtaining the multi-source perception parameter through the above step S10, encryption, compression and remote transmission are performed through the edge gateway. The LoRa WAN / 5G edge gateway supports low-power wide-area network (LoRa WAN) and high-speed 5G dual-mode communication, has a data compression capability of more than 80%, and ensures efficient and stable data upload to the cloud or local server under limited bandwidth conditions.

[0071] S30: Data packet decompression and key feature extraction for fault analysis and performance impact analysis.

[0072] After uploading the data packet to the cloud or local server through step S20, the data packet is downloaded from the cloud or local server for decompression to extract key features. It can be understood that the key features correspond to the above multi-source perception parameters.

[0073] Specifically, the data analysis process includes the following two parts:

[0074] S31: Fault analysis.

[0075] After extracting the key features, the sensor topology graph needs to be combined to capture the spatial distribution and time sequence of the vibration signal and current signal based on the spatio-temporal graph convolution network, thereby outputting a fault probability matrix and a spatio-temporal feature vector. The sensor topology graph is used to describe the physical location relationship, signal transmission path and time delay characteristics of each sensor on the system.

[0076] Specifically, the vibration sparsity feature, current compression feature and sensor topology graph are jointly input into the spatio-temporal graph convolution network.

[0077] Then, the correlation between bearing vibration and impeller vibration is captured through spatial convolution, and the harmonic amplitude rising trend is analyzed through time convolution, to output bearing wear probability, blade dust accumulation probability, filter blockage probability and other failure probabilities. Wherein, the bearing wear probability, blade dust accumulation probability, filter blockage probability and other failure probabilities together form a failure probability matrix.

[0078] Finally, the sensor topology graph is used as a physical basis for the spatio-temporal graph convolution network, so as to output a spatio-temporal feature vector.

[0079] In this embodiment, the spatio-temporal feature vector (128-dimensional floating point array) is a fusion feature representation extracted from multi-modal data by a spatio-temporal graph convolution network (STGCN), which includes the following core dimensions:

[0080]

[0081] The life prediction using the spatio-temporal feature vector is realized by a physical information neural network (PINN) and is completed in the following four steps:

[0082] Step 1: Feature mapping to physical parameters. Input: spatio-temporal feature vector, output: performance decay coefficient (h -1 ) α, Weibull distribution shape parameter k, and reference characteristic life (h) λ.

[0083] Step 2: Solve the performance decay equation.

[0084] Step 3: Generate residual life distribution.

[0085] Step 4: Failure probability prediction.

[0086] For example, the input feature vector is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Step 1: Physical parameter calculation: ;

[0089] Step 2: Vibration correction: ;

[0090] Step 3: Life distribution: ;

[0091] Step 4: Failure probability: .

[0092] S32: Performance impact analysis.

[0093] In this embodiment, an environment coupling model is constructed in advance. When the key features are received, the environment state vector is input into the environment coupling model, so as to analyze the influence of external environment parameters on system performance, and output the influence coefficient.

[0094] The training set is formed by combining the historical environment parameters with the performance parameters of the system, and the model training is performed by using the training set, so as to form the environment coupling model, and analyze the influence of external environment parameters on system performance.

[0095] It can be understood that the output result of the fault analysis performed by the above step S31 is the fault probability matrix and the spatial feature vector, and the output result of the performance influence analysis performed by the above step S32 is the influence coefficient.

[0096] S40: Risk assessment and life prediction are performed according to the results of data analysis.

[0097] Specifically, the step S40 includes the following two parts, which are risk assessment (corresponding to S41) and life prediction (corresponding to S42).

[0098] S41: Risk assessment.

[0099] In this embodiment, the fault probability matrix is input into the Bayesian decision tree model, and the historical environment data is combined to perform risk assessment, so as to output the confidence of each type of fault.

[0100] Specifically, in this embodiment, the Bayesian decision tree model composition includes:

[0101] Model architecture: [fault probability matrix] + [historical environment data] --> [Bayesian network layer] --> [decision tree classifier] --> [confidence output] --> [risk assessment].

[0102] The core components are shown in the following table:

[0103]

[0104] Risk assessment process input data: fault probability matrix O, current environment vector , historical environment database , fault loss cost table .

[0105] Risk assessment process: environment similarity matching (output similar environment set) → prior probability calculation → likelihood function modeling → Bayesian posterior calculation (output normalized posterior probability vector) → decision tree confidence classification → risk value assessment → confidence output.

[0106] The output confidence information includes: fault type, confidence, risk level, risk value and corresponding decision.

[0107] The confidence of each type of fault includes: bearing wear probability confidence, blade dust accumulation probability confidence, filter blockage probability confidence and other fault probability confidence; and the confidence value ranges from 0 to 1.

[0108] S42: Life prediction

[0109] In this embodiment, the space-time feature vector is input into the life prediction model to output the residual life probability distribution.

[0110] The life prediction model is constructed by the following steps:

[0111] Step 1: Multi-source data acquisition and preprocessing.

[0112] Data sources: vibration signal, current waveform, environmental parameter;

[0113] Preprocessing procedure: [raw data] --> [signal alignment] --> [frequency domain analysis] --> [physical normalization]

[0114] Step 2: Space-time feature vector generation.

[0115] Input: multi-dimensional feature matrix after preprocessing,

[0116] Output: space-time feature vector (example output: [0.32, -0.15, 0.08,..., 0.21] bearing coupling ↑ 32%, THD change rate ↓ 15%, high frequency energy ↑ 8%).

[0117] Step 3: Construction of physically constrained life model.

[0118] Model architecture: physical information neural network (PINN)

[0119] Input: space-time feature vector

[0120] Output: residual life distribution parameters (Weibull distribution k, λ)

[0121] Core constraint physical equation: (air volume attenuation equation)

[0122] Feature to physical parameter mapping:

[0123] α: control attenuation speed (positively correlated with vibration energy)

[0124] k: Weibull shape parameter (k < 1 indicates early failure)

[0125] : Baseline life (determined by material properties)

[0126] Step 4: Model training

[0127] Based on historical data, inverse physical parameters to generate labels, form multiple training samples, and collectively constitute a training set for model training to ultimately train the life prediction model.

[0128] S50: Visual interface display, and dynamic adjustment of alarm threshold.

[0129] It can be understood that when the confidence of various faults and the residual life probability distribution are obtained through step S40, data processing can be performed in combination with related modules, so as to display the system running state, fault trend and maintenance scheme through a three-dimensional graphical interface.

[0130] And, based on the influence coefficient output in step S30, the alarm threshold of the fresh air conditioning system is dynamically adjusted by the following formula:

[0131] Wherein, represents the alarm threshold at time t; T base represents the initial alarm threshold; r represents the maximum adjustment amplitude, the value range is 0~0.2, and the system defaults to 0.05; represents a smooth transition; represents the influence coefficient at time t; k represents the change rate sensitivity coefficient of the environment; s represents the normalization factor, which is a fixed parameter; represents the change rate of the environment.

[0132] In addition, in the embodiment, the system maintenance instructions are generated based on the residual life probability distribution and the dynamically adjusted alarm threshold. The system maintenance instructions at least include no action, cleaning or replacement, thereby guiding the system maintenance personnel to maintain.

[0133] Second embodiment

[0134] As Figure 2 shown, based on the above first embodiment, the second embodiment of the application provides a fault prediction device for a fresh air conditioning system, which includes a perception layer 1, a transmission layer 2, an analysis layer 3, a decision layer 4 and an application layer 5.

[0135] Specifically, the perception layer 1 is responsible for collecting multi-source physical signals in the device running process and performing preliminary processing. As Figure 3As shown, the perception layer 1 includes the following three types of sensor modules: MEMS piezoelectric array 11, output sparse vibration spectrum data, used to identify early abnormal vibration characteristics of key components of the device (such as bearings, gears). Intelligent current sensor 12, extract compressed harmonic data, used to detect motor operating state, load change and electrical fault precursor. Multi-source environmental sensor 13, real-time acquisition of environmental parameters, including PM2.5 concentration, TVOC (total volatile organic compounds), temperature, humidity, etc., to provide basic data for subsequent environmental coupling analysis. The above information is uniformly collected to the perception layer output, and enters the next level.

[0136] The transmission layer 2 receives data from the perception layer 1 and encrypts, compresses and remotely transmits through the edge gateway. When the standardized data packet transmission is completed, the data enters the analysis layer 3 for modeling and feature extraction.

[0137] The analysis layer 3 performs deep learning modeling and state analysis on the uploaded data. As shown, Figure 4 As shown, the analysis layer 3 includes a fault analysis module 31 and a performance impact module 32. Among them, the fault analysis module 31 is pre-set with a spatio-temporal graph convolution network, a deep neural network based on graph structure, which is used to capture the complex patterns of device vibration, current and other signals in spatial distribution and time series, output fault probability matrix, and evaluate the health status of different components. The performance impact module 32 is pre-set with an environmental coupling model, which combines the environmental data transmitted from the perception layer, dynamically adjusts the model parameters, outputs the influence coefficient, reflects the influence of environmental changes on the performance of the device, and improves the prediction accuracy. The analysis result is transmitted as input to the decision layer for further risk judgment and life prediction.

[0138] The decision layer 4 makes a comprehensive judgment according to the results of the analysis layer 3, and generates specific operation and maintenance strategies, such as Figure 5 As shown, the decision layer 4 includes a risk assessment module 41 and a life prediction module 42. Specifically, the risk assessment module 41 is pre-set with a Bayesian decision tree model, based on Bayesian inference algorithm, combined with historical data and current state, to calculate the confidence of each type of fault occurrence, to assist in formulating priority response strategy. The life prediction module 42 is pre-set with a life prediction model (physical information neural network), which introduces a neural network with physical law constraints to predict the remaining useful life of the device, and outputs in the form of probability density function, which is used to guide the arrangement of preventive maintenance plan. The final decision result is sent to the application layer 5 to perform specific operation.

[0139] The application layer 5 is the interface between the system and the user or the control system, mainly including a visualization module 51 and a threshold adjustment module 52 (such as Figure 6(As shown). Specifically, the visualization module 51 is connected to the decision layer 4 to display the system's operating status, fault trends, and maintenance plans through a three-dimensional graphical interface based on the confidence level and remaining lifetime probability distribution of various faults. The threshold adjustment module 52 is connected to the analysis layer 3 to automatically adjust the alarm threshold based on the influence coefficient and real-time operating conditions and environmental changes, avoiding false alarms and missed alarms, and improving the system's stability and adaptability.

[0140] It is understood that the functions and connections of each module unit in this embodiment are only one specific implementation of the fault prediction method in the first embodiment. In other embodiments, the functions and connections of each module unit can be adaptively adjusted as needed to achieve the fault prediction method described above.
