Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fire alarm technology, and in particular to a method for preventing false alarms of fire smoke detectors in a high-frequency electromagnetic field environment. Background Art

[0002] Traditional smoke detectors face severe false alarm challenges in high-frequency electromagnetic field-intensive environments (such as substations above 110kV, 5G communication base stations, arc welding workshops, etc.). Actual measured data show that their false alarm rate is as high as 15%-30%, far exceeding the <3% standard for civilian scenarios. The fundamental contradiction lies in the fact that electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals and real fire smoke signals are highly similar in the time and frequency domains, specifically manifested as follows: Time domain feature confusion: The rising edge time of a strong electromagnetic pulse (0.2-5μs) overlaps with the initial smoke signal of a smoldering fire (0.5-10μs) Frequency domain feature coupling: The spectral energy distribution of the EMI resonant frequency point (typically 2-10MHz) partially overlaps with the modulation frequency band of the smoke particle scattering signal Envelope correlation: Both exhibit random fluctuation characteristics in pulse amplitude (coefficient of variation >0.35). Improvement plans proposed in recent years still have significant bottlenecks: rule-based feature screening methods rely on prior knowledge By setting the interference feature threshold, the misjudgment rate increases by 2.7 times in a broadband random electromagnetic noise environment (such as inverter radiation); in the prior art, Chinese patent publication number CN114495408A discloses a monitoring and early warning system based on fire big data. It processes data with the help of a big data analysis platform and uses a random forest algorithm for modeling and analysis. Compared with traditional electrical fire alarm systems, the platform is more intelligent and responds more quickly to fire hazard incidents. It can detect fires in the early stages of a fire. However, a single machine learning model has insufficient learning ability for high-dimensional time-frequency mixed features, and the generalization error is large under unknown interference patterns.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] Example

[0056] In high-frequency electromagnetic environments, such as those found in 110kV substations, traditional fire and smoke detectors are susceptible to electromagnetic interference, resulting in a high false alarm rate, which seriously impacts the normal operation and safety management of the substation. To address this issue, this embodiment employs the proposed false alarm prevention method, aiming to significantly reduce the false alarm and missed alarm rates, thereby improving fire detection accuracy.

[0057] This example was conducted in a 110kV substation, which has a complex high-frequency electromagnetic field environment and numerous electromagnetic interference sources, including transformers, switchgear, etc. Furthermore, the temperature and humidity in the substation fluctuate significantly, placing high demands on the detector's performance.

The acquisition card has a built-in signal conditioning circuit to perform preliminary amplification and filtering on the collected signals to improve signal quality.

[0061] Edge computing unit:

[0062] The edge computing unit includes a preprocessing module, a feature calculation module, and a model inference module.

[0063] Pre-processing module: A high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) is used to perform noise reduction on the collected signals. A wavelet threshold noise reduction algorithm is used to adaptively select the wavelet basis function and threshold according to the frequency characteristics and noise level of the signal, effectively removing high-frequency noise and random interference from the signal.

[0064] Feature calculation module: A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is used to perform parallel computation of time-frequency features. The FPGA has multiple built-in computation units capable of simultaneously calculating time-domain features (such as signal rise time tr and pulse duration td), frequency-domain features (such as wavelet packet energy entropy He), and joint time-frequency features (such as the S-transform modulus at t = 50 ms and f = 1 MHz | S(τ,f) |). Through hardware acceleration, the speed and efficiency of feature calculation are greatly improved.

[0065] Model Inference Module: This module uses the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier embedded development board and TensorRT to accelerate the prediction process of the random forest model. TensorRT optimizes the random forest model, including model quantization and layer fusion, to reduce the model's computational workload and memory usage, and improve inference speed.

[0066] Pyroelectric infrared sensors are used to detect human activity under specific conditions. They offer high sensitivity and fast response, enabling them to accurately detect changes in infrared radiation generated by human activity.

[0067] Implementation steps

[0069] The multi-sensor synchronous acquisition module collects the smoke scattered light intensity signal S in real time smoke (t), ambient high-frequency electromagnetic field strength signal E field (t) and temperature and humidity signals, with a sampling rate of 10kHz.

[0070] The pre-processing module performs noise reduction processing on the collected signals to remove noise and interference in the signals and obtain high-quality signal data.

[0071] Feature calculation:

[0072] Basic smoke feature calculation: Based on the smoke scattered light intensity signal S after noise reduction smoke (t), calculate the signal rise time t r (10%-90% amplitude), pulse duration t d Equal time domain features, and wavelet packet energy entropy H e Equal frequency domain features.

[0073] Electromagnetic coupling characteristic calculation:

[0074] The electromagnetic coupling characteristics include: time domain coupling characteristics F td , frequency domain coupling characteristics F fd , pulse interference correlation feature F pulse , and resonant frequency characteristics F res .

[0075] Time Domain Coupling Features: Calculate F td =max(dS smoke / dt×|E field |), which reflects the time-domain coupling relationship between the smoke signal change rate and the electromagnetic field intensity.

[0076] Frequency domain coupling characteristics: for S smoke (t) and E field (t) respectively perform fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain FFT (S smoke ) and FFT(E field ), then calculate It reflects the degree of coupling between the two in the frequency domain.

[0077] Pulse interference correlation characteristics: Calculate the ratio of the integrated area of ​​the smoke signal within 5ms after the rising edge of the electromagnetic pulse to the background noise area to evaluate the degree of interference of the electromagnetic pulse on the smoke signal.

[0078] Resonance frequency characteristics: Wavelet packet decomposition is performed on the smoke signal to extract the energy proportion of the third-layer detail coefficient in the [5MHz, 8MHz] frequency band, reflecting the resonance characteristics of this frequency band.

[0079] Time-frequency joint feature calculation: Calculate the modulus value |S(τ,f)| of the S transform at t = 50ms and f = 1MHz to comprehensively reflect the characteristics of the signal in the time-frequency domain.

[0080] Model training:

The electromagnetic sensitivity feature weighting strategy is adopted to give the electromagnetic coupling feature a feature importance weight of 1.5-2 times. The calculation of Gini impurity is modified to achieve the following: where ω k is the weight factor of electromagnetic coupling characteristics, p i is the category probability.

[0083] The random forest model is trained using the training set. Each decision tree selects n features from the feature space for training through a feature randomization strategy (n is the total number of features). The parameter configuration of the random forest satisfies: the number of trees n estimators ∈[100,500], maximum depth max_depth=20±5, minimum number of node samples min_samples_split=5, feature random selection ratio max_features=0.3±0.1.

[0087] When E field >10 / m,θ=0.35,

[0088] When E field <0.5V / m,θ=0.65,

[0089] When 0.5V / m≤E field ≤10V / m,θ=0.6-0.025×min(E field ,10),

[0091] The basic smoke features and electromagnetic coupling features are input into the pre-trained random forest model, and the output probabilities of all decision trees are aggregated using a soft voting mechanism:

[0092] If P fire ≥θ, a fire alarm is triggered.

[0093] If 0.4≤P for three consecutive sampling periods fire <θ, the pyroelectric infrared sensor is activated to detect human activity. If human activity is detected and the temperature rise rate is <1℃ / min, the alarm is suppressed.

[0094] Model Updates:

[0095] Daily incremental learning: Incremental learning is automatically performed every morning, using verified non-false positive data from the past 24 hours to update the model, enabling the model to adapt to changes in the environment.

[0096] Emergency retraining: When three consecutive false positives occur, emergency model retraining is triggered to collect data and retrain the model to improve the accuracy and reliability of the model.

[0097] Implementation effect:

[0098] The present invention was field-tested for six months in three typical high-frequency electromagnetic field environments: a 110kV substation, a 5G communication base station, and an arc welding workshop. The results demonstrated that the method achieved breakthrough improvements in multiple dimensions of performance:

[0099]

[0100] The electromagnetic coupling feature set's accuracy in identifying pulsed EMI has been increased to 95.4%, and the false positive rate has been reduced by 4.3 times compared to traditional feature screening methods.

[0101] Dynamic threshold adjustment reduces the risk of missed reports to 1 / 5 of the traditional fixed threshold solution under strong electromagnetic fields;

[0102] Multi-sensor collaborative verification effectively suppresses non-fire interference such as cooking smoke, with a false alarm suppression rate of 89.6%.
