[0028] Step 3: Calculate the temperature compensation volume ; Temperature compensation volume It is the sum of the volume change of turbine oil in the pressure tank and the volume change of the return tank. According to the principle of thermal expansion, the volume change of turbine oil in the return tank with temperature is: ; Changes in turbine oil volume in the oil pressure tank with temperature: ; Then the temperature compensation volume is: ; Where, It is the initial temperature of turbine oil after the hydraulic system is first pressurized. is the temperature of the turbine oil in the oil tank at the current moment, It is the temperature of the turbine oil in the return tank at the current moment.

[0029] Step 4: Real-time volume monitor; The liquid level in the fuel tank is collected in real time by the sensor and the liquid level in the oil tank , the data sampling frequency is 1Hz, then the real-time volume is: .

[0030] Step 5: Oil leakage calculate; The oil leakage volume is equal to the initial volume - real-time volume - temperature compensation volume, that is: .

IQR The criterion is to eliminate outliers.

[0032] Preferably, the specific method for data processing in step six is: 1) Arrange the data in ascending order and calculate the first quartile and the third quartile ,in n is the number of data points, sampling frequency is 1Hz; 2) Use linear interpolation to calculate the value of the first quartile Q1 and the third quartile value Q 3, then the interquartile range ; 3) Determine the upper and lower limits of normal values.

[0034] Example 2: The present invention aims to solve the problem caused by ignoring the volume change caused by temperature in the traditional oil leakage calculation method, eliminate the negative oil leakage phenomenon, significantly reduce the error in oil leakage calculation, and improve the reliability and applicability of hydraulic system oil leakage monitoring.

[0035] The technical solution of the present invention comprises the following steps: Step 1: Turbine oil thermal expansion coefficient Calibration. In the low temperature range of 20℃ to 50℃, the volume of turbine oil is linearly related to temperature. Heat the turbine oil sample and record the volume of the turbine oil every 5℃ starting from 20℃, for a total of 8 sets of data. Based on the recorded data, use the temperature difference as the horizontal axis and the volume change rate as the vertical axis to fit a straight line using the least squares method. The slope of the straight line is the thermal expansion coefficient of the turbine oil. .

[0036] Step 2: Initial volume Calibration. After the hydraulic system is boosted to the rated pressure for the first time, the initial liquid level in the oil tank is collected. and the initial liquid level in the oil pressure tank , the data sampling frequency is 1Hz, then the initial volume . is the length of the return tank, The width of the fuel tank, The initial volume can be recalibrated at any time when replacing equipment or according to actual needs. .

[0037] Step 2: Calculate the temperature compensation volume When the oil pump is idling, the oil in the return tank will be pumped out and sent back to the return tank through the cooler. When the oil temperature in the return tank is higher than the set value, the cooler will start cooling water to run; when the oil temperature in the return tank is lower than the set value, the cooler will stop cooling water and will not run. The turbine oil in the pressure tank is not cooled, and its temperature will be higher than that in the return tank. Due to the different temperatures, the volume change caused by the temperature needs to be calculated separately, so The sum of the volume change of the turbine oil in the pressure tank and the volume change of the return oil tank. According to the principle of thermal expansion, the volume change of the turbine oil in the return oil tank with temperature , the change of turbine oil volume in the oil pressure tank with temperature , then the temperature compensation volume ,in It is the initial temperature of turbine oil after the hydraulic system is first pressurized. is the temperature of the turbine oil in the oil tank at the current moment, It is the temperature of the turbine oil in the return tank at the current moment.

[0038] Step 3: Real-time volume Monitoring. The liquid level in the fuel tank is collected in real time by the sensor. and the liquid level in the oil tank , the data sampling frequency is 1Hz, then the real-time volume .

[0039] Step 4: Oil leakage Calculation. The oil leakage volume should be equal to the initial volume - real-time volume - temperature compensation volume, that is .

[0040] Step 5: Data processing. When the sensor measurement value is disturbed or the oil level fluctuates due to the instantaneous loading of the oil pump, the amount of oil leakage There may be false alarms, and the calculated data needs to be filtered out for outliers and filled with missing values. Data with negative values ​​are directly eliminated, and the other data are filtered out using the sliding window IQR criterion, with a sliding window size of 20s. 1) After sorting the data in ascending order, calculate the first quartile and the third quartile ,in n is the number of data points, the sampling frequency is 1Hz, that is n =20. 2) Use linear interpolation to calculate the value of the first quartile Q 1 and the third quartile value Q 3, then the interquartile range 3) Determine the upper and lower limits of normal values, and mark the values ​​within the range of the lower and upper limits as normal, and remove other values ​​as abnormal. ,in kThe value is 1.5. Missing value filling: after outliers are removed, if the data point is missing, the average value of the 5 nearest neighboring data points is calculated to fill the missing data point. Dynamic modification based on the comparison between the test results and the actual situation k value until the error meets the requirements. For the specific process, please see the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 shown.
