[0005] This application provides an artificial intelligence-based sensor fault prediction method to achieve more accurate sensor fault prediction.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Firstly, an artificial intelligence-based sensor fault prediction method is provided, which includes: acquiring the detection error status of multiple sensors in a nuclear power system; analyzing the business or production logic relationship between the nuclear power system and the multiple sensors through an AI / ML model to obtain the topological relationship of at least two sensors among the multiple sensors, wherein at least two sensors participate in the detection of business or production, and the topological relationship of at least two sensors is used to describe the sequential detection logic relationship of at least two sensors for business or production; and predicting whether there is a faulty sensor among the at least two sensors based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error status of at least two sensors.

If the topological orientations of the sensors are opposite, then the sensor with a fault among the three sensors is predicted to be the second sensor. The conditions for satisfying the first preset relationship include: if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also positive, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also negative, then the error accumulation directions of the first and second sensors are the same as their topological orientations; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive, then the error accumulation directions of the second and third sensors are opposite to their topological orientations.

[0012] Optionally, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, predicting whether there is a faulty sensor among the at least two sensors includes: if, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, it is determined that the detection error changes of three of the at least two sensors satisfy a second preset relationship, then it is preset that there is a faulty sensor among the three sensors.

[0013] Optionally, the three sensors include a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor. The topological relationship of at least two sensors is characterized as follows: the topological direction between the first and second sensors is from the first sensor to the second sensor, and the topological direction between the second and third sensors is from the second sensor to the third sensor, and the topological direction between the first and third sensors is from the first sensor to the third sensor. Based on this, if, according to the topological relationship of the at least two sensors and the detection error of the at least two sensors, it is determined that the detection error changes of three of the at least two sensors satisfy a second preset relationship, then it is preset that one of the three sensors has a fault, including: if, according to the detection error of the at least two sensors, it is determined that the error accumulation direction of the first and second sensors is the same as the topological direction of the first and second sensors, the error accumulation direction of the second and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction of the second and third sensors, and the error accumulation direction of the first and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction of the first and third sensors, then it is predicted that one of the three sensors has a fault. The sensor is the second sensor; wherein, satisfying the second preset relationship includes: if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive error accumulation and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also positive error accumulation, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative error accumulation and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also negative error accumulation, then the error accumulation direction of the first sensor and the second sensor is the same as the topological direction of the first sensor and the second sensor; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive error accumulation and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative error accumulation, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative error accumulation and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive error accumulation, then the error accumulation direction of the second sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the second sensor and the third sensor; if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive error accumulation and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative error accumulation, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative error accumulation and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive error accumulation, then the error accumulation direction of the first sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the first sensor and the third sensor.

[0014] Optionally, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, predicting whether there is a faulty sensor among the at least two sensors includes: if, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, it is determined that the detection error changes of four of the at least two sensors satisfy a third preset relationship, then it is preset that there is a faulty sensor among the four sensors.

[0015] Optionally, the three sensors include a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, and a fourth sensor. The topological relationship of at least two sensors is characterized as follows: the topological direction between the first and second sensors is from the first sensor to the second sensor; the topological direction between the second and third sensors is from the second sensor to the third sensor; and the topological direction between the second and fourth sensors is from the second sensor to the fourth sensor. Based on this, if, according to the topological relationship of the at least two sensors and their detection errors, it is determined that the detection error changes of four of the at least two sensors satisfy a third preset relationship, then it is presumed that one of the four sensors has a fault. This includes: if, according to the detection error conditions of the at least two sensors, it is determined that the error accumulation direction between the first and second sensors is the same as the topological direction between the first and second sensors, the error accumulation direction between the second and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction between the second and third sensors, and the error accumulation direction between the first and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction between the first and third sensors, then it is predicted that one of the three sensors has a fault. The faulty sensor is the second sensor; wherein, satisfying the third preset relationship includes: if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also positive, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also negative, then the error accumulation direction of the first and second sensors is the same as the topological direction of the first and second sensors; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive, then the error accumulation direction of the second and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction of the second and third sensors; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the fourth sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the fourth sensor is positive, then the error accumulation direction of the second and fourth sensors is opposite to the topological direction of the second and fourth sensors.

[0016] Secondly, an artificial intelligence-based sensor fault prediction device is provided, the device comprising:

[0017] The error acquisition module is used to acquire the detection error information of multiple sensors in the nuclear power system.

[0018] The relationship acquisition module is used to analyze the logical relationship between the business or production of the nuclear power system and the business or production of the multiple sensors through an AI / ML model, and to obtain the topological relationship of the multiple sensors, which are used for the detection of the business or production.

[0019] The fault prediction module is used to predict whether there is a faulty sensor among the multiple sensors based on the topological relationship of the multiple sensors and the detection error of the multiple sensors.

[0020] The apparatus described in the second aspect is specifically used to perform the functions of the method described in the first aspect.

[0021] Thirdly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, comprising: a computer program or instructions; when the computer program or instructions are executed on a computer, the computer causes the computer to perform the method described in the first aspect.

[0022] The above-mentioned method and apparatus have the following technical effects: In industrial scenarios, sensors used for production line detection are set up along with the production line, which can also be understood as being set up according to business or production execution logic. In this case, the detection error of the sensors may accumulate with the execution logic of business or production. Based on this, electronic devices can obtain the topological relationship of at least two sensors through AI / ML model analysis, that is, the sequential detection logic relationship of at least two sensors for business or production. Thus, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, that is, based on whether the accumulation of error is normal, electronic devices can predict whether there is a faulty sensor among the at least two sensors, thereby achieving relatively accurate sensor fault prediction.

[0027] The technical solutions in this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application will present various aspects, embodiments, or features relating to systems that may include multiple devices, components, modules, etc. It should be understood and appreciated that individual systems may include additional devices, components, modules, etc., and / or may not include all the devices, components, modules, etc. discussed in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, combinations of these approaches are also possible.

[0029] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplary," "for example," etc., are used to indicate that they are examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Specifically, the use of the term "exemplary" is intended to present the concept in a concrete manner.

[0030] The network architecture and business or production scenarios described in the embodiments of this application are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. As those skilled in the art will know, with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business or production scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0031] For example, Figure 1 This application provides a flowchart illustrating an artificial intelligence-based sensor fault prediction method. This method can be applied to the interaction of electronic devices.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the process of this AI-based sensor fault prediction method is as follows:

[0033] S110. Obtain the detection error information of multiple sensors within the nuclear power system.

[0034] The detection error of multiple sensors can be specifically identified as the detection error of each individual sensor. This can be achieved by performing error detection on each sensor twice at different time intervals, obtaining two error values ​​for each sensor. The direction of error accumulation represented by these two error values ​​indicates the detection error situation. In other words, the detection error situation of each sensor indicates whether the sensor is accumulating positive or negative errors. For example, if error value #1 is detected first, and then error value #2 is detected later, if error value #1 is less than error value #2, it indicates positive error accumulation; conversely, if error value #1 is greater than error value #2, it indicates negative error accumulation.

[0035] It is understandable that error detection can be achieved using existing technologies, such as having a sensor detect a standard quantity, and the difference between the detected value and the standard quantity is the error value.

[0036] S120. Analyze the business or production logic relationship between the nuclear power system and multiple sensors through AI / ML models to obtain the topological relationship of at least two sensors among the multiple sensors.

[0037] The aforementioned at least two sensors participate in the detection of business or production, and the topological relationship of the at least two sensors is used to describe the sequential detection logic relationship of the at least two sensors for business or production.

[0038] For example, electronic devices can use AI / ML models to analyze business or production information and information from multiple sensors to obtain the topological relationship of at least two sensors output by the AI / ML model.

[0039] The information regarding the business or production includes information about the equipment involved in performing the business or production, such as the business or production identifier. This system could be a specific process, instrumentation, or electrical system in a nuclear power plant. The business or production could be within an industrial manufacturing scenario, such as a product manufacturing production line. The business or production identifier can uniquely identify the business or production, and can indicate the production line for that product. If a product has multiple production lines, there will be multiple identifiers, each uniquely indicating one production line. The equipment information can include identifiers for various types of manufacturing equipment within the production line. Since these devices belong to the production line, the working logic between them follows the sequential logic of the business or production process. For example, equipment #1 first performs processing #1 on the product, such as assembly, and then equipment #1 performs processing #2 on the product, such as polishing.

[0040] Information from multiple sensors is used to indicate that each sensor is set up in a corresponding device, and the business or production detection type of each sensor, such as the identifier of the device where each sensor is located, and the identifier of the business or production detected by each sensor, i.e., the business or production detection type of each sensor.

[0041] Specifically, electronic devices can preprocess information from multiple sensors and business or production information to determine that at least two of the multiple sensors are located on equipment involved in performing business or production and participate in business or production detection. That is, the equipment information indicates that the equipment belongs to the equipment in the production line indicated by the identifier of the business or production, and the business or production detection type contains the identifier of the business or production. Thus, it is determined that at least two sensors participate in business or production detection, and the business or production detection type of at least two sensors indicates that at least two sensors participate in business or production detection.

[0042] It is understood that the detection logic between at least two sensors described in this application also follows the sequential logic of business or production. For example, sensor #1 detects the time when the product has completed processing #1 as t1. This t1 can be an incremental time relative to the previous completed processing step. Sensor #1 sends t1 to sensor #2. Sensor #2 determines the absolute time when the product has completed processing #1 based on t1, such as x year x month x minute x second, and then detects the time when the product has completed processing #2 as t2. This t2 can be an incremental time relative to this absolute time. Therefore, the error of t1 will accumulate in t2, i.e., accumulated error. It should be understood that the above is an example of time detection, and other scenarios can also be applied, such as temperature detection. The principle is similar, and will not be elaborated further.

[0043] Therefore, electronic devices can input information from at least two sensors along with business or production information into an artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) model to analyze the logical relationships between business and production processes, obtaining the topological relationship of at least two sensors output by the AI / ML model. The AI / ML model can be a deep neural network. Since the information from at least two sensors and the business or production information can represent the correspondence between each sensor and the device, and since the business or production information can represent the sequential logical relationships of these devices performing business or production processes, the AI / ML model can construct the topological relationship of at least two sensors based on this information. This topological relationship is consistent with the sequential logical relationships of these devices performing business or production processes.

[0044] S130. Based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, predict whether there is a faulty sensor among the at least two sensors.

[0045] Scenario 1:

[0046] If an electronic device determines, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, that the detection error changes of three of the at least two sensors satisfy a first preset relationship, then the electronic device presets that one of the three sensors is faulty.

[0047] For example, three sensors include a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor, and the topological relationship of at least two sensors is characterized as follows: the topological direction between the first sensor and the second sensor is that the first sensor points to the second sensor, and the topological direction between the second sensor and the third sensor is that the second sensor points to the third sensor.

[0048] Based on this, if the electronic device determines, according to the detection error of at least two sensors, that the error accumulation direction between the first sensor and the second sensor is the same as the topological direction between the first sensor and the second sensor, and the error accumulation direction between the second sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction between the second sensor and the third sensor, then the electronic device predicts that the second sensor is the faulty sensor among the three sensors.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown in (a), satisfying the first preset relationship includes: if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also positive, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also negative, then the error accumulation direction of the first and second sensors is the same as the topological direction of the first and second sensors; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive, then the error accumulation direction of the second and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction of the second and third sensors. In other words, according to business or production logic, the failure of one sensor may cause problems with the error of the next sensor. Therefore, the fact that the error accumulation direction of the second and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction of the second and third sensors is most likely due to a failure of the second sensor, and thus the faulty sensor is the second sensor.

[0050] Scenario 2:

[0051] If an electronic device determines, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, that the detection error changes of three of the at least two sensors satisfy a second preset relationship, then the electronic device presets that one of the three sensors is faulty.

[0052] For example, the three sensors include a first sensor, a second sensor, and a third sensor, and the topological relationship of at least two sensors is characterized as follows: the topological direction between the first sensor and the second sensor is that the first sensor points to the second sensor, and the topological direction between the second sensor and the third sensor is that the second sensor points to the third sensor, and the topological direction between the first sensor and the third sensor is that the first sensor points to the third sensor.

[0053] Based on this, if the electronic device determines, according to the detection errors of at least two sensors, that the error accumulation direction between the first and second sensors is the same as the topological direction between the first and second sensors, and the error accumulation direction between the second and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction between the second and third sensors, and the error accumulation direction between the first and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction between the first and third sensors, then the electronic device predicts that the faulty sensor among the three sensors is the second sensor; that is, since the business or production logic ultimately points from the first sensor to the third sensor, it can be considered that the error accumulation direction between the first and third sensors is opposite to the topological direction between the first and third sensors because of the fault of the second sensor, therefore the faulty sensor is the second sensor.

[0054] It should be understood that topology direction refers to the direction of business or production execution.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown in (b), satisfying the first preset relationship includes: if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also positive, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also negative, then the error accumulation direction of the first sensor and the second sensor is the same as the topological direction of the first sensor and the second sensor; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive, then the error accumulation direction of the second sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the second sensor and the third sensor; if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive, then the error accumulation direction of the first sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the first sensor and the third sensor.

[0056] It should be understood that Case 1 and Case 2 correspond to two different business or production logic relationships.

[0057] Scenario 3:

[0058] If an electronic device determines, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, that the detection error changes of four of the at least two sensors satisfy a third preset relationship, then the electronic device presets that there is a faulty sensor among the four sensors.

[0059] For example, the three sensors include a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, and a fourth sensor, and the topological relationship of at least two sensors is characterized as follows: the topological direction between the first sensor and the second sensor is that the first sensor points to the second sensor, the topological direction between the second sensor and the third sensor is that the second sensor points to the third sensor, and the topological direction between the second sensor and the fourth sensor is that the second sensor points to the fourth sensor.

[0060] Based on this, if the electronic device determines, according to the detection error of at least two sensors, that the error accumulation direction of the first sensor and the second sensor is the same as the topological direction of the first sensor and the second sensor, the error accumulation direction of the second sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the second sensor and the third sensor, and the error accumulation direction of the first sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the first sensor and the third sensor, then the electronic device predicts that the sensor with a fault among the three sensors is the second sensor.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown in (c), satisfying the third preset relationship includes: if the error accumulation of the first sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also positive, or the error accumulation of the first sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the second sensor is also negative, then the error accumulation direction of the first sensor and the second sensor is the same as the topological direction of the first sensor and the second sensor; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the third sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the third sensor is positive, then the error accumulation direction of the second sensor and the third sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the second sensor and the third sensor; if the error accumulation of the second sensor is positive and the error accumulation of the fourth sensor is negative, or the error accumulation of the second sensor is negative and the error accumulation of the fourth sensor is positive, then the error accumulation direction of the second sensor and the fourth sensor is opposite to the topological direction of the second sensor and the fourth sensor.

[0062] It should be understood that the principle of case 3 is similar to that of case 2, and can be understood by referring to it.

[0063] In summary, in industrial scenarios, sensors used for production line inspection are set up according to the production line, or in other words, according to the business or production execution logic. In this case, the detection error of the sensors may accumulate with the execution logic of the business or production. Based on this, electronic devices can use AI / ML models to analyze and obtain the topological relationship of at least two sensors, that is, the sequential detection logic relationship of at least two sensors for the business or production. Thus, based on the topological relationship of at least two sensors and the detection error of at least two sensors, that is, based on whether the accumulation of error is normal, the electronic device can predict whether there is a faulty sensor among the at least two sensors. In this way, relatively accurate sensor fault prediction can be achieved.

[0064] The above combination Figure 1 This application provides a detailed description of an AI-based sensor fault prediction method. The following details an AI-based sensor fault prediction apparatus for implementing the AI-based sensor fault prediction method provided in this application.
