Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to meteorological observation equipment, in particular to a forward scattering instrument self-adaptive temperature control system and a control method under complex weather conditions. Background Art
[0002] The forward scatter meter inverts visibility by measuring the scattering intensity of light by atmospheric particles. Its core components such as optical lenses and photodetectors are sensitive to temperature. In complex environments with large temperature differences between day and night and extreme temperatures, it is easy to cause deformation of the optical-mechanical structure, unstable or faulty performance of sensors and circuits, thereby affecting the long-term observation stability, reliability and visibility measurement accuracy of the equipment.
[0003] Traditional temperature control methods typically employ only one or two internal temperature sensors and a single temperature threshold control logic. These methods fail to consider the differences in optimal operating temperatures among core components, preventing them from achieving optimal performance. A single internal sensor cannot perceive real-time environmental changes or local overheating caused by direct solar radiation. This results in temperature control lag and the following issues: Poor dynamic response: Traditional PID control logic has limitations. Fixed-parameter PID cannot adapt to overshoot when the day-night temperature difference exceeds 20°C. For example, the sudden drop in temperature in the early morning in plateau areas causes continuous PID oscillation, and sudden heavy rain causes rapid cooling (temperature control system response delay > 5 minutes). Environmental adaptability defects: (1) Failure in extreme climates: Frosting at low temperatures. When the ambient temperature is less than -15°C, the power of the traditional heating film is insufficient (needs to be greater than 50W / m 2 But the actual configuration is only 30W / m 2 (2) High humidity condensation: The dew point temperature calculation module is not integrated, and heating is only started roughly when RH>90% (energy consumption increases by 40%). Low level of intelligence: It relies only on current internal temperature feedback and lacks the ability to perceive and adaptively adjust ambient temperature changes in real time, making it difficult to meet usage requirements under complex weather conditions.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown in FIG, an adaptive temperature control system for a forward scattering instrument under complex weather conditions includes a temperature sensor module, an environmental parameter sensor module, a heating module, a cooling module, a control module, and a power supply module. The temperature sensor module is used to monitor the temperature of key modules and parts inside the forward scattering instrument in real time, including an optical element temperature sensor, a detector temperature sensor, and an ambient temperature sensor. 2The RS485 bus communicates with the control module. The environmental parameter sensor module is used to monitor external environmental parameters in real time, including temperature sensors, humidity sensors, wind speed sensors, and light intensity sensors, and communicates with the control module via the RS485 bus. The heating module is used to heat the interior of the forward scatterer and may include, but is not limited to, resistive heaters and Peltier devices. The cooling module is used to cool the interior of the forward scatterer and may include, but is not limited to, fans, heat sinks, liquid cooling systems, and thermoelectric cooling devices. The control module is respectively connected to the ambient temperature sensor module, the environmental parameter sensor module, the heating module and the cooling module, and is used to receive data from the temperature sensor module and the environmental parameter sensor module, and compare the acquired temperature information of each sensor module with the target temperature information according to a preset control algorithm to realize temperature control information identification of each module; calculate the dew point temperature through the environmental parameter module, establish a three-dimensional temperature field model, identify the hot spot / cold spot area, and compare it with the target control temperature, adaptively make control decisions, dynamically adjust the control parameters, and generate a PWM control signal to drive the cooling module or the heating module to realize precise control of the temperature of each module inside the forward scattering instrument; the power supply module is respectively connected to the ambient temperature sensor module, the environmental parameter sensor module, the heating module, the cooling module and the control module, and is used to provide power for the entire system.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, a method for adaptive temperature control of a forward scattering instrument under complex weather conditions includes the following steps: The control module receives data from the temperature sensor module and the environmental parameter sensor module, and compares the temperature information of each sensor module with the target temperature information according to the preset control algorithm to realize the temperature control information identification of each module; The dew point temperature is calculated through the environmental parameter module, a three-dimensional temperature field model is established, hot / cold spot areas are identified and compared with the target control temperature, adaptive control decisions are made, control parameters are dynamically adjusted, and PWM control signals are generated to drive the cooling module or heating module to achieve precise control of the temperature of each module inside the forward scattering instrument.

Based on the LSTM prediction results, the calculated dew point is close to the surface temperature +1°C, triggering the anti-condensation control.
[0020] Through intelligent temperature control logic, adaptive temperature adjustment in complex environments can be further achieved.
[0021] The control algorithm includes: ; Where, is the total control power at time t; is the parameter adaptive PID controller function; is the target temperature; is the actual temperature; is the dew point temperature; To prevent condensation safety margin; LSTM(.) is the output of the temperature trend prediction model; It is a judgment condition. The temperature values that meet this condition are multiplied (condition activation). If it is 0, the model output is skipped, that is, the model does not output, because multiplication by 0 cancels it; if it is 1, the preheating instruction is produced, that is, the model output; Refers to the temperature drop within 30 minutes; Conditional activation is achieved through the exponential function ∏: ; Is the judgment condition, is the target value of differential temperature control, if Then the Laplace operator is brought into the formula, otherwise the Laplace operator is not brought into the formula; is the surface temperature of the equipment; It is the sensor historical data window; is the temperature field Laplace operator; is the gain coefficient of each control item; To limit x to the interval [a, b] and formula, Clip is the clipping function; ; is the thermal compensation term for wind speed, ranging from 0.1 to 1; is the thermal compensation term for illumination, ranging from 0.05 to 0.25; is the setting term for temperature.
[0022] Wind speed and light data are key environmental parameters that directly affect the temperature changes and heat exchange processes on optical surfaces and are crucial for condensation risk assessment and control strategy formulation.
[0023] 1. The role of wind speed (key heat exchange influencing factor) 1. Heat loss rate regulation Principle: Increased wind speed accelerates heat exchange between the optical surface and the air (forced convection) Influence: When heating: Heat dissipates faster → Higher heating power is required to maintain temperature When cooling: surface temperature drops faster → increased risk of condensation Control response: For every 1m / s increase in wind speed, the heating power needs to be increased by 15-25% (the specific value needs to be calibrated experimentally) 2. Dynamic adjustment of safety margin Mechanism of action: High wind speed (>5m / s): Safety margin increased by 0.5℃ (maximum compensation value) Low wind speed (<1m / s): Maintain a basic safety margin of 1.0°C Practical significance: Provides stronger anti-condensation protection in windy weather 3. Impact of heat distribution uniformity High wind speeds can cause: The temperature of the windward side of the optical window is significantly lower than that of the leeward side Local cold spots form → Increased risk of local condensation Control strategy response: trigger zone heating control to provide additional heating power to the windward side 2. The role of light (influence of radiant heat source) Active surface temperature regulation Principle: Direct heating of optical surfaces by solar radiation (radiative heat transfer) The core goal of anti-condensation control is to prevent the optical surface temperature from dropping below the dew point temperature, thereby preventing water vapor condensation from affecting optical performance. The implementation principle is as follows: Dew point temperature Td < optical surface temperature Ts + safety margin ; When the system detects Ts ≤ Td + When the anti-condensation heating control is started immediately, the heating component is controlled to heat and the temperature is raised to the dew point.
[0024] Gradient temperature control strategies include: heating the optical window through a thin film heater or dissipating heat through a TEC; heating the optical path through a resistor wire or dissipating heat through a fan; heating or dissipating heat from the detector through a micro TEC; heating the electronic components through a heater or dissipating heat through a heat sink and a fan.
[0025] It can realize multi-zone gradient temperature control, environmental mutation prediction and early response, dew point temperature calculation and anti-condensation control, and achieve stable temperature control under extreme climate conditions.
[0026] (1) Multi-dimensional perception: By integrating the temperature sensors of each module and the external environmental parameter sensors, high spatial coverage and parameter completeness are achieved, blind spots in temperature control are eliminated, accurate calculation of dew point temperature is achieved, and high-precision temperature control is completed; (2) Intelligent and highly adaptable: Based on multi-dimensional sensor integration and temperature control strategies, it can dynamically adjust heating and cooling strategies according to real-time monitored temperature and environmental parameters, adapt to complex and changing weather conditions, and achieve environmental adaptability, operational stability, and measurement accuracy in complex environments; (3) High-efficiency actuator: bidirectional adjustment of hot and cold working conditions to cope with extreme working conditions and improve the feasibility of application in extreme environments; (4) High reliability: Modular design facilitates maintenance and upgrades, improving system reliability.
