Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of PMMA polymerization reaction viscosity monitoring technology, specifically to a real-time monitoring system and method for PMMA polymerization reaction viscosity based on multimodal sensing and edge intelligent computing. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, viscosity monitoring during PMMA polymerization mainly relies on offline sampling or single-modal online sensors (such as rotational viscometers), which have significant drawbacks:

[0003] Firstly, offline detection cannot reflect the reaction process in real time, resulting in a lag in the adjustment of process parameters, which seriously affects production efficiency and product quality.

[0004] Secondly, single sensors are easily affected by factors such as temperature and pressure fluctuations, resulting in large measurement errors, typically exceeding ±15%, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision production.

[0005] Third, traditional methods have not established a dynamic correlation model between molecular structure evolution (such as branching degree and molecular weight distribution) and viscosity, which makes it impossible to deeply understand the reaction process and limits the precise control of polymerization reactions.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problems of serious lag and insufficient anti-interference ability of traditional monitoring methods. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, the CNN prediction model is compressed to less than 5MB using knowledge distillation techniques.

[0016] Furthermore, the distributed temperature and pressure sensors are arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall of the reactor to collect temperature and pressure data of the reaction system in real time.

[0017] Furthermore, the MXene / PMMA composite electrode of the resonant viscometer enhances sensing sensitivity by increasing charge trapping capability.

[0018] Furthermore, the method for real-time monitoring of PMMA polymerization reaction viscosity based on multimodal sensing and edge intelligent computing includes the following steps:

[0024] This invention provides a real-time viscosity monitoring system and method for PMMA polymerization reaction based on multimodal sensing and edge intelligent computing, which has the following advantages: Through cross-validation of multimodal data, the viscosity measurement error is reduced from ±15% in traditional methods to ±3%, significantly improving measurement accuracy; the edge computing unit achieves a 10ms-level response speed, 50 times faster than cloud-based solutions, enabling timely reflection of changes in the reaction process and providing the possibility for real-time control; through transfer learning technology, the system can adapt to different reaction conditions, such as bulk polymerization and suspension polymerization, improving the system's versatility and flexibility; the application of MXene composite electrodes extends the sensor lifespan to over 2000 high-temperature reaction cycles, reducing equipment maintenance costs and improving system reliability. Detailed Implementation

[0025] This invention provides a technical solution: a real-time monitoring system for the viscosity of PMMA polymerization reaction based on multimodal sensing and edge intelligent computing, comprising:

[0026] Multimodal sensing array: Includes a resonant viscometer, a multispectral imaging module, a vibration sensor, and distributed temperature and pressure sensors, used for precise monitoring of the viscosity of PMMA polymerization reaction. The resonant viscometer has a built-in MXene / PMMA composite electrode with a biomimetic micropillar structure on the electrode surface. The multispectral imaging module is equipped with a 405nm-1550nm dual-band light source and a high-resolution CCD array. The distributed temperature and pressure sensors are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of the reactor to collect temperature and pressure data of the reaction system in real time. The MXene / PMMA composite electrode of the resonant viscometer improves sensing sensitivity by enhancing charge trapping capability.

[0027] Edge computing unit: integrates a spatiotemporal data alignment module and a lightweight CNN prediction model. The spatiotemporal data alignment module adopts an improved particle filter algorithm to achieve a multi-source data synchronization error of ≤0.5ms. The CNN prediction model is compressed to less than 5MB through knowledge distillation technology.

[0028] The intelligent feedback actuator comprises an adaptive compensation controller and a visual human-machine interface.

The human-machine interface displays molecular structure evolution maps and three-dimensional viscosity field distributions in real time.

[0029] A method for real-time monitoring of the viscosity of PMMA polymerization reaction based on multimodal sensing and edge intelligent computing includes the following steps:

[0030] The turbidity changes in the reaction system were captured by a multispectral imaging module, and molecular chain entanglement features were extracted by combining a Gabor filter.

[0033] A viscosity prediction model is trained based on a transfer learning framework, and predicted values ​​are generated by inputting historical data and real-time sensing data.

[0034] When the monitored viscosity deviates from the set threshold, the reactor temperature control system is triggered to perform PID regulation.

[0035] Six temperature / pressure sensors are equidistantly arranged on the inner wall of a 50L reactor to comprehensively monitor the temperature and pressure distribution within the reactor. A multispectral imaging module is installed on the top of the reactor to capture optical information such as turbidity changes in the reaction system. A resonant viscometer is positioned at the discharge port with a sampling frequency of 100Hz to acquire viscosity data at high frequency. The edge computing unit loads a pre-trained model, with initial training data including PMMA samples of five molecular weight distributions. After the reaction starts, the system generates a viscosity-molecular weight correlation thermogram in real time. When the monitored value exceeds a threshold, the initiator feed rate is automatically adjusted to achieve real-time control of the reaction process, ensuring that the reaction proceeds within the set viscosity range.

[0036] Interference factors, such as excessive initiator, are injected during the mid-reaction phase to simulate abnormal conditions in the production process. Through vibration spectrum analysis, the system can identify abnormalities and trigger alarms within 30 seconds, while traditional methods typically require 5 minutes to detect anomalies. This invention's monitoring system achieves this 5-minute lead time, gaining valuable time for timely handling of abnormal situations and effectively preventing product quality problems and production accidents caused by these abnormalities.
