Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of multi-modal ultrasonic flow nonlinear error compensation scheme design, and particularly relates to a multi-modal ultrasonic flow nonlinear error compensation method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Ultrasonic flow measurement technology is widely used in the industrial field due to its non-contact and high-precision characteristics, but existing solutions have significant limitations when facing complex fluid media. The traditional single-path measurement model relies on the ideal fluid assumption. When bubble groups, solid particles are suspended or in a turbulent state in the medium, the sound wave propagation path will produce nonlinear distortion, resulting in a deviation of the propagation time measurement value from the true physical model. Existing compensation methods mostly use static environmental parameter correction, which cannot dynamically respond to fluid transient changes, especially in multiphase flow conditions, the error is aggravated. The more essential defect is that the current technical architecture lacks spatial perception ability of flow distribution - a single measurement path cannot capture the flow velocity gradient of the pipe cross section, and dynamic events such as bubble coalescence and rupture, random distribution of particles further destroy the uniformity of the flow velocity field, making the standard time difference method based on the central symmetric flow field derivation produce systematic deviation. Although in recent years there have been attempts to introduce a multi-sensor array, the data processing only simply superimposes the results of each path, without establishing a quantitative correlation mechanism between abnormal interference and measurement error, and without developing adaptive compensation strategies for different interference types. In summary, there is an urgent need for a systematic solution in the industrial field that can analyze fluid nonlinear characteristics in real time, intelligently identify interference sources, and dynamically reconstruct the flow calculation model.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art still needs further development. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the above technical deficiencies and provide a multi-modal ultrasonic flow nonlinear error compensation method and system to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] (a) acquiring original propagation time data of fluid on at least two different sound wave propagation paths through a sensor array composed of multiple ultrasonic transducers;

[0007] (b) extracting multi-modal feature parameters reflecting the nonlinear characteristics of the fluid based on the original propagation time data;

[0008] (c) identifying the type of abnormal interference in the fluid according to the multi-modal feature parameters;

[0009] (d) calling a preset compensation model matching the abnormal interference type to generate a dynamic correction parameter;

[0010] (e) inputting the dynamic correction parameter into a flow calculation function to output an accurate flow value after error compensation.

[0011] Specifically, the multi-modal feature parameters in step (b) include path-to-path propagation time standard deviation σ t and acoustic wave signal attenuation coefficient α:

[0012]

[0013] Wherein:

[0014] σ t : path-to-path propagation time standard deviation;

[0021] A0: amplitude of the signal at the transmitting end;

[0022] A r : amplitude of the signal at the receiving end;

[0023] L: acoustic wave propagation distance.

[0024] Specifically, the interference type identification in step (c) is realized by a KNN classifier.

[0025] Specifically, the compensation model in step (d) includes:

[0026]

[0028] Q comp : compensated flow;

[0029] Q raw : original flow;

[0030] C b : bubble concentration;

[0031] d p: pipe inner diameter;

[0032] k1, k2: calibration coefficients.

[0033] Specifically, C b is calculated by the following formula:

[0034]

[0035] wherein:

[0036] S(f): signal power spectral density;

[0037] f0: ultrasonic base frequency;

[0038] f1-f3: bubble resonance frequency bands.

[0039] Specifically, step (e) adopts dynamic weighted fusion:

[0040]

[0041] wherein:

[0042] w i : the i-th path weight factor;

[0043] D: pipe inner diameter;

[0044] θ i : sound wave incidence angle;

[0045] t u,i ,t d,i : upstream and downstream propagation time.

[0046] Specifically, w i is determined by the following formula:

[0047]

[0048] wherein:

[0049] SNR i : the i-th path signal-to-noise ratio;

[0050] σ t,i : time measurement standard deviation.

[0051] Specifically, it further includes the step of periodically calibrating the compensation model.

[0052] Specifically, the calibration adopts a recursive least squares algorithm:

[0053]

[0054] wherein:

[0055] θ k: model parameter vector;

[0056] K k+1 : Kalman gain matrix;

[0057] y k+1 : flow observation bias.

[0060] A fluid feature extraction module is used to calculate fluid nonlinear characteristic quantities.

[0061] An interference type identification module is used to output interference category labels.

[0062] A dynamic compensation engine is used to generate type-matched compensation parameters.

[0063] A flow reconstruction module is used to output corrected flow values.

[0064] Beneficial effects:

[0065] The present application creatively constructs a multi-modal sensing-interference classification-model self-adaptive technical closed loop, breaking through the static limitations of traditional measurement frameworks:

[0066] Firstly, through the spatial sampling mechanism of the multi-path ultrasonic sensing network, the discretization analysis of the global flow field of the pipeline is realized for the first time, solving the inherent defect of insufficient representativeness of single-point measurement. Based on the collaborative analysis of characteristic parameters such as ultrasonic propagation time group, signal attenuation spectrum, and flow velocity distribution uniformity, a quantitative evaluation system of fluid nonlinear degree is formed, providing multi-dimensional criteria for error tracing.

[0067] Secondly, the interference type identification module uses an intelligent classification model trained under a large number of working conditions to accurately distinguish typical abnormal scenarios such as bubble interference, solid impurities, and turbulent flow changes, overcoming the hysteresis and one-sidedness of empirical threshold criteria. This mechanism ensures the precise directionality of the compensation strategy and avoids the overfitting or undercompensation problems caused by traditional "one-size-fits-all" compensation.

[0068] Finally, the dynamic compensation engine generates targeted correction parameters in real time through the matching mechanism of interference type-compensation model. This parameter cooperates with the multi-path weight distribution algorithm to achieve the optimal balance between data effectiveness and reliability in the flow reconstruction stage. The entire technical solution significantly improves three core performances: the measurement accuracy remains stable under extreme working conditions, the system robustness has strong inhibition ability to industrial noise and medium disturbance, and the self-calibration mechanism maintains the consistency of the measurement reference during long-term use.
