Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of information systems and management, and specifically to a small household appliance diagnosis system based on AI customer service and AR imaging. Background Art
[0002] With the rise of smart home concepts, small household appliances are becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives, playing a crucial role in improving our quality of life. From electric kettles and microwave ovens for cooking to vacuum cleaners and robot vacuums for cleaning, small household appliances have greatly facilitated our lives. However, they also frequently malfunction over time. According to market research, nearly 50% of users experience varying degrees of malfunction with their small appliances after 2-3 years of use. These malfunctions not only diminish the user experience, but some unaddressed faults can even pose safety risks, such as fires caused by motor short circuits. Therefore, developing an efficient and accurate small appliance fault diagnosis and repair guidance system is crucial for ensuring user quality of life and improving home safety.
[0003] At present, there are obvious deficiencies in the way small household appliances are handled:
[0004] Traditional after-sales repair: After a user discovers a problem, they contact after-sales service. After-sales service will initially diagnose the problem based on the user's description and arrange a home visit or provide guidance for repairs. However, users' descriptions of the problem are often inaccurate, making it difficult for after-sales service personnel to quickly identify the problem, increasing repair costs and time. According to statistics, approximately 40% of on-site repair visits require a second visit due to initial misdiagnosis, which not only wastes manpower and resources but also prolongs user waiting time.
[0005] Self-resolved issues: Some users consult product manuals or search online for solutions. However, manuals are often brief and inadequate for complex issues. Online information is also highly variable, requiring users to sift through it, and the accuracy of the information is uncertain. Surveys show that the success rate of self-resolved issues is only around 30%, and improper operation can easily lead to secondary damage.
[0006] Simple detection tools are available on the market to assist with small household appliance detection tools, such as simple multimeters for detecting circuit continuity. However, these tools have limited functions and can only detect the basic parameters of specific components. They cannot perform comprehensive diagnosis of overall household appliance failures and require users to have certain professional knowledge. The threshold for ordinary users to use them is relatively high.
[0007] Although existing methods can handle small household appliance failures to a certain extent, they still expose many problems:
[0008] Problem 1: In the traditional after-sales maintenance model, poor information transmission and slow response lead to inefficient fault handling, increasing users' time and economic costs.
[0009] Problem two, the user self-help approach due to the difficulty of information acquisition and judgment, resulting in poor failure solution effect, and may be due to improper operation to make the problem worse.
[0010] Problem three, the limitations of simple detection tools cannot meet the diagnosis needs of complex faults of small household appliances, and it is difficult to provide comprehensive and effective solutions.
[0011] Problem four, the existing method generally lacks intuitive and intelligent interaction experience, and cannot clearly show the user the fault location and maintenance process, resulting in the user often being at a loss when facing a fault.
[0012] Therefore, an innovative small household appliance diagnosis system based on AI customer service and AR imaging is urgently needed, which uses the intelligent interaction and data analysis capabilities of AI customer service and the visualization advantages of AR imaging to break through the limitations of traditional methods and achieve accurate diagnosis, efficient maintenance guidance, and intelligent management and optimization of the whole life cycle of small household appliances.

[0037] Advantages
[0038] The application provides a small household appliance diagnosis system based on AI customer service and AR imaging.
[0039] 1、The small household appliance diagnosis system based on AI customer service and AR imaging of the application utilizes a multi-source data fusion module to accurately integrate user description data obtained by an AI intelligent interaction module and household appliance operation parameters collected by a sensor. With the help of Kalman filtering algorithm and principal component analysis algorithm, data noise is effectively removed, and key features are extracted, laying a solid data foundation for an intelligent diagnosis decision module. In the intelligent diagnosis decision module, support vector machines and Bayesian classification algorithms work together, greatly improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Taking electric kettle fault diagnosis as an example, traditional methods often require repeated troubleshooting, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. However, the system can quickly and accurately locate the fault type and position, significantly reducing the fault diagnosis time and the idle time of household appliances caused by fault troubleshooting, and effectively improving the efficiency of household appliances.
[0040] 2、In the application, the AI intelligent interaction module uses natural language processing and sentiment analysis algorithm to make the communication between the user and the system as natural and smooth as daily conversation. Users only need to describe the fault in their usual language, and the system can accurately understand the intention and give personalized responses according to the sentiment analysis results. The AR visualization module obtains the appearance image of the household appliance through the camera of the mobile phone, generates the AR imaging of the internal structure immediately, and clearly marks the fault area. This allows non-professional users to intuitively see the fault location, completely changing the situation in traditional after-sales maintenance where users have difficulty understanding complex fault descriptions. For example, in air purifier fault diagnosis, users can clearly see the filter screen blockage position with the help of AR imaging, without waiting for the after-sales personnel to explain, they can prepare to replace the filter screen themselves, greatly enhancing the user's autonomy and convenience in handling faults, and effectively improving the user's satisfaction and trust in the system.
[0041] 3、The fault prediction and prevention module of the application uses a long short-term memory network and a gray prediction model fusion mechanism to comprehensively consider historical fault data, current operation parameters and environmental factors of household appliances, and accurately predict the time and type of fault occurrence in advance. Compared with traditional fault prediction methods, the system can detect potential fault risks earlier. For example, in small bread machine fault prediction, it can predict motor failure in advance, allowing users to have enough time to arrange maintenance or replace parts, effectively avoiding sudden failures that disrupt normal use. At the same time, the system also generates detailed prevention measures suggestions to help users prepare for maintenance work in advance, effectively extending the service life of household appliances and reducing maintenance costs, fundamentally improving the reliability and stability of small household appliances.
[0042] 4. In the present invention, when the fault is associated with multiple small household appliances and involves the smart home system, the device linkage coordination module plays a key role. Using genetic algorithms and fuzzy control algorithms, the system can quickly screen out the optimal device linkage plan and coordinate related equipment to adjust the operating status in an orderly manner. For example, when the air conditioner fails, the system will automatically link the air purifier to cleverly adjust the indoor temperature and humidity, maintain a comfortable and pleasant indoor environment, and prevent the overall home environment from being damaged by the failure of a single device. The system's core control unit uses adaptive resonance theory and particle swarm optimization algorithm to continuously optimize the parameters and operating strategies of each module. With the passage of time, the system's diagnostic accuracy and operating efficiency have steadily improved, creating a continuously optimized and upgraded smart home appliance management service for users, and creating a more intelligent, comfortable and efficient home environment.

[0060] Among them, the management main system is gradually run through the running steps, realizing the precise diagnosis, efficient repair guidance and intelligent management and optimization of the whole life cycle of small household appliances.
[0061] The AI intelligent interaction module adopts a natural language processing and sentiment analysis algorithm fusion mechanism. The natural language processing algorithm converts user natural language into machine-understandable text features through morphological analysis, syntactic analysis and semantic understanding methods. The sentiment analysis algorithm relies on the combination architecture of recurrent neural networks and convolutional neural networks based on deep learning to determine the sentiment tendency of user text, and then provides more targeted and personalized responses when interacting with users.
[0062] The multi-source data fusion module uses Kalman filtering algorithm combined with principal component analysis algorithm to implement real-time filtering of parameters such as speed and rotational speed, removes noise interference, and improves data accuracy. The principal component analysis algorithm reduces the dimensionality of the filtered data, extracts the main characteristic components, reduces data redundancy, and improves the efficiency of subsequent data analysis, so as to more effectively preliminarily fuse it with user description data.
[0063] In the intelligent diagnostic decision module, the fault diagnosis result generation adopts support vector machine and Bayesian classification algorithm for processing. The support vector machine builds an optimal classification hyperplane to classify the fused multi-source data and preliminarily determine the fault category. The Bayesian classification algorithm corrects and optimizes the classification results of the support vector machine based on the prior probability of fault occurrence and the conditional probability of data characteristics, improves the fault diagnosis accuracy, and then generates the corresponding unique repair scheme.
[0064] The fault prediction and prevention module utilizes a long short-term memory network and a grey prediction model fusion mechanism to predict the time and type of future failures of the household appliance. The long short-term memory network processes time series information in historical failure data and current operating parameters to capture long-term dependencies in the data. The grey prediction model generates processed data by accumulating the original data to establish a grey differential equation model for predicting the failure trend of the household appliance. The combination of the two improves the reliability of fault prediction and generates preventive measures in advance.
[0065] The user feedback learning module adopts a reinforcement learning and online learning algorithm fusion mechanism to update the fault mode library and diagnostic algorithm. The reinforcement learning algorithm optimizes the behavior strategy of the AI intelligent interaction module and the intelligent diagnostic decision module by setting a reward mechanism and considering the satisfaction of the user feedback on the diagnostic results and repair schemes. The online learning algorithm updates the model parameters in real time during continuous user feedback to enable the system to quickly adapt to new fault conditions and user needs, continuously improving diagnostic accuracy and scheme effectiveness.
[0066] The device linkage coordination module uses a genetic algorithm and fuzzy control algorithm combination strategy when coordinating related devices to adjust operating states. The genetic algorithm searches for the optimal device linkage scheme, and the fuzzy control algorithm formulates specific device control rules based on fuzzy information such as fault type, severity, and real-time state of related devices to achieve precise and flexible control of devices, avoid fault expansion, and provide effective temporary replacement schemes.
[0067] The system core regulation unit adopts an analytic hierarchy process and association rule algorithm in data mining for fusion when generating a comprehensive diagnostic report. The analytic hierarchy process determines the weight of factors such as diagnostic results, repair schemes, fault prediction information, and device linkage conditions in the comprehensive diagnostic report to highlight key information. The association rule algorithm mines the potential relationships between these factors, including the association between different fault types and common repair tools, and integrates this association information into the comprehensive diagnostic report to make the content more comprehensive and complete. The report data is output to the user through a user terminal connection interface and stored for subsequent analysis and system optimization.
[0068] The management main system dynamically adjusts the parameters and model structure of the multi-source data fusion module, intelligent diagnostic decision module, and fault prediction and prevention module through adaptive resonance theory to adapt to changes in the operating environment and fault modes of the household appliance. The particle swarm optimization algorithm optimizes the regulation strategy of the system core regulation unit by simulating the foraging behavior of bird flocks to find the optimal system operating parameter configuration, continuously optimizing the diagnostic process and improving service quality.
[0069] The system has a distributed architecture and can support edge computing, which can decentralize data processing and analysis capabilities to edge devices close to data sources, thereby improving real-time response capabilities and reducing data transmission delays. In addition, the edge computing node has intelligent decision-making capabilities, which can perform preliminary fire cause identification and early warning locally, reducing data transmission volume and delay.
[0070] The data transmission paths between the modules in the management main system are as follows: the AI intelligent interaction module transmits the user-related text feature data converted through natural language processing and sentiment analysis to the multi-source data fusion module through the internal data transmission channel of the system. The multi-source data fusion module accurately transmits the preliminary fusion data integrated with user description data and sensor-collected home appliance operation parameters to the intelligent diagnostic decision module. The intelligent diagnostic decision module transmits the fault diagnosis results and corresponding maintenance scheme data to the system core control unit, and simultaneously feeds back the diagnosis result data to the fault prediction and prevention module for optimizing the prediction model. The fault prediction and prevention module generates prevention measure suggestion data and transmits it to the system core control unit. The user feedback learning module collects feedback data from users on the diagnosis results and maintenance schemes, and transmits the data required for optimization to the AI intelligent interaction module and the intelligent diagnostic decision module for updating the fault mode library and diagnostic algorithm. The device linkage coordination module receives instruction data from the intelligent diagnostic decision module, adjusts the operating state of related devices according to the instructions, and transmits device linkage execution result data to the system core control unit. The system core control unit transmits comprehensive diagnosis report data to the user through the user terminal connection interface, and stores the report data for subsequent analysis and system optimization. According to the data transmitted by each module, the system core control unit generates control signals and transmits them to each corresponding module to drive the orderly operation of each module of the management main system, ensuring the smooth progress of the system's cyclic monitoring and continuous improvement process.
[0071] After the system is started, the management main system is started, the AI intelligent interaction module is activated, and it is ready to receive user fault feedback and operation instructions. At the same time, the AR visualization presentation module is initialized for subsequent device imaging display. The system core control unit is started, which is responsible for coordinating the operation of each module and establishing a user terminal connection interface.
[0072] In the multi-source data acquisition and preliminary fusion stage, the AI intelligent interaction module uses natural language processing and sentiment analysis algorithm fusion mechanism to convert the user's description and operation record data of small household appliance faults into machine understandable text features, which are transmitted to the multi-source data fusion module through the system internal data transmission channel. The multi-source data fusion module uses sensors to collect the temperature, voltage, speed and other operating parameters of the household appliance, uses Kalman filter algorithm combined with principal component analysis algorithm to real-time filter and reduce dimension of the operating parameters, reduces data redundancy and improves accuracy, and then integrates the data with the user description data and transmits them to the intelligent diagnosis decision module.
[0073] The AR visualization presentation module obtains the appearance image of the household appliance through the user's mobile phone camera, combines the information provided by the multi-source data fusion module, and generates the AR imaging of the internal structure of the household appliance in real time. The intelligent diagnosis decision module processes the fused multi-source data using support vector machine and Bayesian classification algorithm, matches the common fault mode library, determines the fault area, and the AR visualization presentation module accurately labels the area on the imaging, and generates the fault diagnosis result and the unique repair scheme. The result and scheme data are transmitted to the system core control unit, and the diagnosis result data is also fed back to the fault prediction and prevention module.
[0074] The fault prediction and prevention module uses long short-term memory network and gray prediction model fusion mechanism to predict the future fault time and type of the household appliance according to historical fault data, current operating parameters and environmental factors, and generates preventive measures suggestions in advance and transmits them to the system core control unit. The user feedback learning module collects user feedback data on the diagnosis result and repair scheme, uses reinforcement learning and online learning algorithm fusion mechanism to transmit the data required for optimization to the AI intelligent interaction module and the intelligent diagnosis decision module, and updates the fault mode library and diagnosis algorithm.
[0075] When the fault involves multiple small household appliances and is associated with the smart home system, the device linkage coordination module receives the instruction data from the intelligent diagnosis decision module, uses genetic algorithm and fuzzy control algorithm combined strategy to coordinate the related devices to adjust the operating state, avoid the expansion of the fault and provide temporary replacement scheme, and transmits the device linkage execution result data to the system core control unit.
[0076] The system core control unit integrates the diagnosis result, repair scheme, fault prediction information and device linkage situation, uses analytic hierarchy process and association rule algorithm in data mining to generate a comprehensive diagnosis report, and outputs the report to the user through the user terminal connection interface, and stores the report data for subsequent analysis and system optimization. In addition, the system core control unit generates control signals according to the data transmitted by each module and transmits them to the corresponding modules to drive the orderly operation of the modules of the management main system.
[0077] The whole system has a distributed architecture, supports edge computing, and downgrades data processing and analysis capabilities to edge devices close to data sources. The edge computing node performs preliminary small household appliance fault reason identification and early warning locally, reduces data transmission volume and delay, and improves real-time response capability, thereby realizing accurate diagnosis, efficient maintenance guidance, and intelligent management and optimization of the whole life cycle of small household appliances. Through cyclic monitoring and continuous improvement, the performance of the system is continuously improved. Embodiment two:
[0079] As shown in Figures 1-2 the following is a use case of the scheme in embodiment one:
[0080] Case one: fault diagnosis and maintenance of electric kettle
[0081] User feedback: the user found that the electric kettle at home became slower in boiling water, and there was an abnormal noise during the last few times of boiling water. Through the mobile phone APP, the user entered the system and described the fault to the AI intelligent interaction module. The AI intelligent interaction module uses natural language processing and sentiment analysis algorithms to understand the user's description and identify the user's anxious emotion, and quickly gives a soothing response and guides the user to supplement information such as the daily use frequency of the electric kettle and whether there has been a dry burning situation recently.
[0082] Data acquisition and fusion: the multi-source data fusion module receives the text feature data converted from the user's description transmitted by the AI intelligent interaction module, and at the same time collects the operating parameters such as the temperature, voltage and vibration frequency (reflecting the rotation speed) of the electric kettle through the built-in sensor. After removing parameter noise using Kalman filtering algorithm and dimensionality reduction using principal component analysis algorithm, the two types of data are integrated and transmitted to the intelligent diagnosis decision module.
[0083] AR imaging and diagnosis: the AR visualization presentation module generates AR imaging of the internal heating pipe, temperature controller and other components of the electric kettle on the user's mobile phone screen according to the information provided by the multi-source data fusion module. The intelligent diagnosis decision module uses support vector machine and Bayesian classification algorithm to analyze the fusion data, match the fault mode library, and determine that the heating pipe has slight fouling leading to reduced heating efficiency, and the temperature controller has poor contact causing abnormal noise. The AR visualization presentation module accurately labels the positions of the heating pipe and the temperature controller on the imaging.
[0084] Maintenance scheme generation: the intelligent diagnosis decision module generates a maintenance scheme, including turning off the power, using white vinegar and water mixed at a ratio of 1:10 to clean the heating pipe by soaking for 30 minutes, opening the base to check whether the temperature controller connection line is loose, and if so, replugging and fixing it. At the same time, it lists the required tools such as wrench and screwdriver, and the temperature controller accessories that may need to be replaced, and transmits the scheme to the system core control unit.
[0085] Fault prediction and feedback: The fault prediction and prevention module predicts that if the heating tube is not cleaned and the temperature controller is not repaired in time, the heating tube may be damaged and the kettle may not work normally in the next month based on historical fault data and current operating parameters of the electric kettle. The system core control unit generates preventive measures and transmits them to the system core control unit. The user feedback learning module collects user feedback on the diagnosis results and repair schemes. If the user successfully completes the repair and feedback problem is solved, the reinforcement learning algorithm rewards the system for correct diagnosis, and the online learning algorithm updates the fault mode library and diagnosis algorithm to improve the accuracy of subsequent diagnosis.
[0086] Comprehensive report and optimization: The system core control unit integrates the diagnosis results, repair schemes, and fault prediction information, determines the weight of each part using the analytic hierarchy process, and uses the association rule algorithm to mine the potential relationship between faults and daily use habits to generate a comprehensive diagnosis report. The user outputs the report through the user interface. At the same time, according to the data of each module, control signals are generated to drive the system to continuously optimize, such as adjusting the sensor acquisition frequency to more accurately monitor the operating status of the electric kettle.
[0087] Case two: intelligent air purifier fault handling and equipment linkage
[0088] Fault feedback: The user feels that the noise of the air purifier has become larger when running, and the indoor air quality has not improved significantly. Through voice and AI intelligent interaction module communication. The AI intelligent interaction module analyzes the user's voice and combines emotional analysis to determine the user's concern about indoor air quality, and asks for information such as air purifier indicator light status and filter replacement time.
[0089] Data integration: The AI intelligent interaction module transmits the processed user information to the multi-source data fusion module, which simultaneously collects air purifier wind speed, motor speed, filter resistance (reflected in voltage changes), etc. After Kalman filtering and principal component analysis processing, it is transmitted to the intelligent diagnosis decision module.
[0090] Diagnosis and imaging: The AR visualization rendering module generates AR imaging of the air purifier's internal air duct, motor, filter, and other components. The intelligent diagnosis decision module analyzes the data and determines that there are foreign objects in the air duct causing noise to increase and the filter is clogged, reducing purification effectiveness. The AR visualization rendering module marks the location of the air duct and filter in the imaging.
[0091] Repair and linkage: The intelligent diagnosis decision module generates a repair scheme to clean the air duct and replace the filter, and transmits it to the system core control unit. Because the fault affects indoor air quality, and the user's home has a smart humidifier and a smart home system associated with it, the equipment linkage coordination module receives the instructions from the intelligent diagnosis decision module, uses genetic algorithms and fuzzy control algorithms to reduce the humidity setting of the smart humidifier, and avoid high humidity environment to exacerbate air quality problems. At the same time, the linkage execution result is fed back to the system core control unit.
[0092] Prediction and Learning: The fault prediction and prevention module predicts that the motor may be damaged due to excessive load in the next week if the air duct is not cleaned and the filter is not replaced in time, and generates prevention measures suggestions to transmit to the system core control unit.

[0093] Report Output and System Optimization: The system core control unit generates a comprehensive diagnostic report containing fault causes, maintenance solutions, device linkage situations, and fault prediction information, and outputs it to the user. At the same time, based on the data of each module, the system parameters are optimized through the adaptive resonance theory and particle swarm optimization algorithm to improve the efficiency of diagnosis and device linkage.
[0094] Case Three: Fault Diagnosis and Full Life Cycle Management of Small Bread Machine
[0095] User Consultation: The user found that the bread crust was burnt and the inside was not cooked when making bread, and consulted the AI intelligent interaction module. The AI intelligent interaction module guides the user to describe the bread machine model, the bread making program used, the amount of ingredients, etc.
[0096] Data Collection and Processing: The multi-source data fusion module receives the user information processed by the AI intelligent interaction module, and at the same time collects the operating parameters such as the temperature of the heating element of the bread machine, the speed of the stirring motor, and the working time, and transmits them to the intelligent diagnostic decision module after processing by the algorithm.
[0097] Fault Location and Solution: The AR visualization presentation module displays the AR imaging of the heating element, stirring paddle and other components inside the bread machine. The intelligent diagnostic decision module analyzes and determines that the heating element temperature control system is faulty, causing the heating temperature to be too high and the stirring motor speed to be unstable, affecting the uniformity of the dough. The solution of maintaining the temperature control system and checking the motor and transmission components is generated and transmitted to the system core control unit.
[0098] Prevention and Feedback: The fault prediction and prevention module predicts that serious faults such as motor burnout and heating element damage may occur in the future based on the historical data of the bread machine and the current fault, and generates prevention measures suggestions. The user feedback learning module collects user feedback after maintenance, and if there is still a problem after maintenance, the system further optimizes the diagnostic algorithm.
[0099] Full Life Cycle Management: The system core control unit integrates the diagnostic results, maintenance solutions, and fault prediction information to generate a comprehensive diagnostic report. At the same time, by analyzing the historical use data of the bread machine, it provides regular maintenance suggestions such as cleaning the heating element every three months and checking the lubrication of the transmission components, etc., to realize intelligent management of the full life cycle of the bread machine. The system continuously monitors the operating parameters of the bread machine and optimizes the management strategy through the adaptive resonance theory and particle swarm optimization algorithm to improve the performance of the system. Specific embodiment three:
[0101] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the key algorithms mentioned in Example 1 are analyzed in detail below, including their core mathematical formulas and explanations:
[0102] Sentiment Analysis - Sentiment Classification Based on Recurrent Neural Network (RNN):
[0103] For an input sequence x=[x1,x2,...,x T ], the hidden layer state h of RNN t The update formula is:
[0104] h t =σ(W xh x t +W hh h t-1 +b h )
[0105] Among them, the output y t =W hy h t +b y
[0106] where x t is the input vector of the input sequence at time t, corresponding to the text feature vector after preprocessing such as lexical analysis; h t is the state vector of the hidden layer at time t, which combines the information of the current input and the hidden layer state at the previous moment; h t-1 is the state vector of the hidden layer at the previous moment (t-1); W xh is the weight matrix input to the hidden layer, which is used to transform the input vector x t Mapped to the hidden layer; W hh is the weight matrix from hidden layer to hidden layer, which is used to transmit the information of the hidden layer state at the previous moment; W hy is the weight matrix from the hidden layer to the output layer, which is used to map the hidden layer state to the output result; b h is the bias vector of the hidden layer; b y is the bias vector of the output layer; σ is the activation function, usually the sigmoid function, which is used to introduce nonlinear factors so that the model can learn complex patterns. The formula is:
[0107]
[0108] This formula analyzes the user's text sequence word by word and continuously updates the hidden layer state to capture the emotional information in the text. It ultimately outputs a result representing the text's emotional tendency (such as positive, negative, or neutral), helping the AI intelligent interaction module respond to users more humanely.
[0109] Kalman filter algorithm:
[0110] Prediction step:
[0111] State prediction:
[0112] Covariance prediction: P k k-1 = AP k-1|k-1 + Q T
[0113] Update step:
[0114] Kalman gain: K k = P k|k-1 H T (HP k|k-1 H T + R) -1
[0115] State update:
[0116] Covariance update: P k|k = (I - K k H)P k|k-1
[0117] Character interpretation:
[0118] where k is the current time; is the state prediction value at the current time (k) based on the state estimate value at the previous time (k-1); is the state estimate value at the previous time (k-1); A is the state transition matrix, describing the transition relationship of the system state from one time to the next; B is the control input matrix, used to map the control input u k to the state space (in sensor data processing, B and u k can be ignored if there is no control input involved); u k is the control input at time k (for sensor acquisition parameter filtering, it can be considered as zero or irrelevant); P k|k-1 is the covariance matrix of the predicted state , measuring the uncertainty of the prediction; P k-1|k-1 is the covariance matrix of the state estimate value at the previous time; Q is the process noise covariance matrix, reflecting the influence of internal noise on state transition; K k is the Kalman gain, used to balance the contributions of the predicted value and the measured value to the final estimate value; H is the observation matrix, mapping the system state to the observation space, i.e., the relationship matrix between the sensor measurement value and the system state; z k Ykis the sensor measurement value at time k; R is the measurement noise covariance matrix, reflecting the size of the sensor measurement noise; I is the unit matrix.
[0119] This algorithm formula uses the state equation and observation equation of the system, combines the state estimation at the last time and the current measurement value, and performs optimal estimation on the current system state, effectively removes the noise interference in the household appliance operation parameters (such as temperature, voltage, and speed) collected by the sensor, and improves the accuracy of the data.
[0120] Principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm:
[0121] The data matrix X is centered to obtain
[0122] The covariance matrix C is calculated
[0123] The eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix C is performed, C = UΛU T , where U is the eigenvector matrix, and Λ is the eigenvalue diagonal matrix; the eigenvectors corresponding to the first k largest eigenvalues are selected to form the transformation matrix W = [u1, u2,..., uk]; the dimension-reduced data matrix Y is k
[0124] X: original household appliance operation parameter data matrix, each row represents a sample (such as multiple parameter values measured at one time), and each column represents a feature (such as temperature, voltage, and different parameters); n: sample number; p: feature number; The centered data matrix is centered to make the mean of the data zero, facilitating subsequent calculation; C: covariance matrix, used to measure the correlation between different features; U: eigenvector matrix, whose column vectors are the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix C; Λ: eigenvalue diagonal matrix, the elements on the diagonal are the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix C; ui: the ith eigenvector; W: transformation matrix, composed of the eigenvectors corresponding to the first k largest eigenvalues; Y: dimension-reduced data matrix, with a dimension of n × k, retaining the main information of the original data and reducing data redundancy. i
[0125] This algorithm formula reduces the dimension of the multi-dimensional household appliance operation parameter data collected by the sensor, converts high-dimensional data into low-dimensional data, while retaining the main features and information of the data as much as possible, improves the efficiency of subsequent data analysis, and facilitates the fusion and analysis of user description data.
[0126] Support vector machine (SVM) - classification in linearly separable case:
[0127] For linearly separable datasets, the goal is to find a hyperplane w T x + b = 0 such that the two classes of samples can be separated correctly and the margin is maximized. The margin is determined by solving the following optimization problem:
[0128]
[0129] s.t. y i (w T x i +b) ≥ 1, i = 1,..., n
[0130] where w: the normal vector of the hyperplane, determines the direction of the hyperplane; b: the intercept of the hyperplane, determines the position of the hyperplane; x i : the feature vector of the i-th sample (the vector representation of the fused multi-source data after feature extraction); y i : the class label of the i-th sample, taking values +1 or -1, representing different fault categories (or normal / fault status); n: the number of samples; ||w||: the norm of the vector w, usually using the two-norm, representing the length of the vector.
[0131] The formula algorithm in the intelligent diagnosis decision module, by finding the optimal hyperplane, classifies the fused multi-source data, and preliminarily determines the fault category of small household appliances, providing a basis for subsequent more accurate diagnosis and maintenance scheme generation.
