Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of concrete engineering, in particular to a temperature control system, method, device and storage medium for mass concrete. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mass concrete structures are widely used in major infrastructure projects such as water conservancy hubs, nuclear power plants, super high-rise building foundations, and subway stations. They are characterized by thick structure and large amount of concrete, usually with a single pouring volume exceeding 1000 cubic meters or a minimum cross-sectional size exceeding 1 meter. Due to the release of a large amount of heat by cement hydration, the internal temperature of mass concrete can reach 60-80°C, while the surface cools quickly, forming a significant internal and external temperature difference. When the temperature difference exceeds 25°C, temperature stress cracks are extremely easy to occur, which seriously affects the structural safety and service life. Traditional temperature control monitoring methods mainly rely on manual embedding of thermocouples or thermistors for point temperature measurement. The number of monitoring points is limited, which cannot fully reflect the complex three-dimensional temperature field distribution inside the concrete. Moreover, the data collection efficiency is low, making it difficult to achieve real-time continuous monitoring and early warning.

[0003] Existing mass concrete temperature control technologies have significant shortcomings in monitoring accuracy, data processing capability, and active control. On the one hand, the temperature measurement error of traditional monitoring equipment is generally above ±0.5°C, with coarse spatial resolution, which cannot capture local hot spots and temperature gradient changes, leading to lagging and inaccurate temperature control measures. On the other hand, existing systems lack intelligent data analysis capabilities and cannot reconstruct temperature fields and make trend predictions based on multi-source monitoring data. Temperature control strategies mainly rely on engineer experience and judgment, which is highly subjective and has a delayed response. In addition, traditional passive cooling methods such as pre-embedded cooling pipes and surface covering insulation materials have limited temperature control effect and high energy consumption as they cannot adaptively control the temperature according to real-time temperature changes.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It is understood that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of the present invention, users should be informed of the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the personal information involved in the present invention and their authorization should be obtained in accordance with relevant laws and regulations through appropriate means.

[0026] As an optional application scenario of this invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the temperature control system for this large-volume concrete may include at least one terminal device and at least one server. Figure 1 The system is illustrated in the example, which includes a computer 101, a mobile terminal 102, and a server 103, and the terminal devices such as the computer 101 and the mobile terminal 102 are connected to the server 103 through a network 110.

[0027] Specifically, the terminal device can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, PDA, desktop computer, game console, smart TV, smart wearable device, in-vehicle terminal, VR (Virtual Reality) device, AR (Augmented Reality) device, etc. Server 103 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster, a distributed system, or a cloud server providing cloud services. Network 110 can be a wired or wireless network, examples of which include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranet, local area network, wide area network, mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0028] This invention provides a temperature control system and method for large-volume concrete. By collecting contact and non-contact temperatures, reconstructing a three-dimensional temperature field, and predicting temperature change trends, the system achieves temperature control of large-volume concrete, thereby improving the efficiency of temperature acquisition and the accuracy of temperature control.

[0029] According to embodiments of the present invention, a temperature control system for large-volume concrete is provided, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the system includes: a multi-dimensional sensor module, a non-contact monitoring module, a controller, and a temperature control module.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the multi-dimensional sensor module, located at the temperature measurement point inside the large volume of concrete, is connected to the input terminal of the controller to collect the contact temperature of each temperature measurement point and transmit it to the controller.

[0031] Specifically, the multi-dimensional sensor module includes, but is not limited to, multiple temperature sensors, each located at a temperature measurement point inside the large-volume concrete. It employs fiber Bragg grating technology and Long Range Radio (LoRa) spread spectrum technology to achieve three-dimensional contact monitoring. After acquiring the contact temperature at each measurement point inside the large-volume concrete using the multi-dimensional sensor module, the corresponding contact temperature is transmitted to the controller based on the identification number of each measurement point. The location of each measurement point can be determined using its identification number, thereby determining the contact temperature at each location inside the large-volume concrete. In addition to temperature monitoring, it can also integrate humidity sensors for multi-parameter collaborative monitoring, comprehensively understanding the internal state of the large-volume concrete. The multi-dimensional sensor module also includes a multi-parameter collaborative monitoring unit, which integrates a vibrating wire strain sensor, a capacitive humidity sensor, an ion-selective electrode pH sensor, and an ultrasonic thickness gauge using the pulse-echo method. If other types of data are acquired, these other parameter data must also be uploaded to the controller.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the non-contact monitoring module is located at a preset position around the large-volume concrete and is connected to the input terminal of the controller. It is used to collect the non-contact temperature of the preset area of ​​the large-volume concrete and transmit it to the controller.

[0033] Specifically, the non-contact monitoring module includes multiple non-contact temperature monitoring devices, each installed at a preset location around the large-volume concrete. These devices monitor the non-contact temperature of different areas on the concrete surface, ensuring that the monitoring area of ​​each device covers the entire surface of the concrete. After collecting the non-contact temperature data for its corresponding area, each device uploads the data to the controller. Similarly, the device numbers and corresponding preset areas are pre-defined, allowing the controller to determine the non-contact temperature of each area based on the device numbers. This technology is mature and existing, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the controller is used to perform temperature analysis based on the contact temperature and non-contact temperature of the large-volume concrete, generate a three-dimensional temperature field distribution of the large-volume concrete, predict the temperature change trend over a preset time period based on the three-dimensional temperature field distribution, and generate temperature adjustment commands based on the temperature change trend.

[0035] Specifically, the contact temperature of a large-volume concrete is the temperature of each temperature measuring point inside it, while the non-contact temperature is the temperature of its surface area. Both contact and non-contact temperatures comprehensively cover the temperature state at all locations within the large-volume concrete. Therefore, by analyzing the contact and non-contact temperatures, a three-dimensional temperature field distribution of the large-volume concrete can be obtained. This three-dimensional temperature field distribution is displayed as a three-dimensional image, encompassing the temperature conditions at each location. Based on the temperature conditions at each location, the controller predicts the temperature change trend over a preset time period, such as the temperature change over the next 72 hours. Based on this temperature change trend, it determines the temperature regulation strategy in advance and generates temperature regulation commands.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the temperature regulation module is connected to the output of the controller and is used to regulate the temperature of concrete that shows abnormal temperature change trends according to the temperature regulation command.

[0037] Specifically, due to the large volume of large-volume concrete, there are significant temperature differences in different locations. There may be situations where one location needs to be heated while another needs to be cooled. Therefore, when setting up temperature control equipment, it is necessary to set it up separately according to the temperature characteristics of each location in the large-volume concrete. For example, the concrete surface usually dissipates heat faster, and its internal temperature is higher than the external surface temperature. Therefore, cooling equipment is set up inside the concrete, while insulation or heating equipment is set up on the outside of the concrete. The specific setting method needs to be determined according to the actual situation. This is just an example, but it is not a limitation.

[0038] The temperature control system for large-volume concrete provided in this embodiment collects contact and non-contact temperature data through a multi-dimensional sensor module and a non-contact monitoring module, achieving comprehensive and accurate monitoring of the internal and surface temperatures of the concrete. The controller uses the collected temperature data to generate a three-dimensional temperature field distribution and predict temperature change trends, thereby gaining early insight into the temperature dynamics at each location and providing a scientific basis for temperature control decisions. The closed-loop temperature control mechanism promptly adjusts abnormal temperatures, effectively controlling the risk of cracks in large-volume concrete caused by temperature changes, ensuring project quality, and improving the level of intelligent construction and management efficiency.

[0039] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the system also includes a cloud monitoring module, which is connected to the controller to acquire and display temperature data of the large-volume concrete and to provide multi-level early warnings based on faults or temperature change trends in the temperature control system of the large-volume concrete.

[0040] Specifically, the cloud-based monitoring module is a monitoring platform primarily used for real-time monitoring, early warning, and data analysis. It adopts a microservice architecture, featuring high availability, high scalability, and high security, supporting parallel monitoring management of multiple projects. It includes a data access layer, a data processing layer, a business logic layer, and a user interface layer. The data processing layer implements streaming computing based on the Apache Kafka and Apache Flink frameworks, including a real-time monitoring interface based on Web3D technology and an intelligent early warning system with a multi-level early warning mechanism. The Web3D visualization interface constructs a 3D scene based on Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, allowing users to intuitively understand the internal temperature distribution of concrete, significantly improving the understandability of monitoring data and decision-making efficiency. The intelligent early warning system establishes a four-level early warning mechanism, ensuring timely delivery of early warning information through various methods such as SMS, email, and APP push notifications, reducing early warning response time to the minute level. Figure 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the cloud monitoring module.

[0041] The data access layer collects temperature data of large-volume concrete from front-end multi-dimensional sensor modules, non-contact monitoring modules, and other devices through various methods such as HTTP protocol, MQTT protocol, WebSocket, 5G data stream, and edge computing, thereby achieving multi-source data access.

[0042] The data processing layer (stream computing) uses the Apache Kafka message queue to buffer and stream the massive amounts of collected data, ensuring the stability of data transmission; it leverages the Apache Flink real-time computing engine to perform real-time streaming processing of the data, ensuring the timeliness of data processing; it conducts data cleaning and quality control to remove outliers and fill in missing values, ensuring the accuracy and availability of the data; and it efficiently stores the processed data through distributed storage and a time-series database for subsequent retrieval and analysis.

[0043] The business logic layer includes: (1) Intelligent early warning system: Based on the processed data, different temperature thresholds are set (such as 15℃ blue, 20℃ yellow, 23℃ brown, 25℃ red) to realize multi-level early warning of faults or temperature change trends. (2) Data analysis module: Performs statistical analysis and big data analysis to mine the patterns and potential problems in the data, and then generates optimization suggestions to support temperature control decisions. (3) Report generation module: Through the automated reporting function, the data and analysis results are presented in an intuitive report form.

[0044] The user interface layer includes Web3D monitoring (Three.js visualization) and BIM integrated display (3D model display): It visualizes processed temperature data as a 3D temperature field; for example, the "3D Temperature Field Visualization" module can display temperature distribution in real time. The mobile app enables real-time data push notifications, allowing users to monitor temperature conditions anytime, anywhere. The management backend provides system configuration functions, facilitating user management and maintenance of the entire cloud-based monitoring system. It also performs data statistical analysis, displaying key indicators such as temperature trends, monitored data volume, number of warnings, remote control compliance rate, and system availability.

[0045] The temperature control system for large-volume concrete provided in this embodiment uses a cloud monitoring module to acquire and display the temperature data of the large-volume concrete in real time, realizing centralized and visual management of temperature. At the same time, it provides multi-level early warnings based on the faults or temperature change trends of the temperature control system, so that relevant personnel can be aware of abnormal situations in a timely manner, which facilitates rapid response and handling, and helps engineering managers to control the temperature control status of large-volume concrete from a macro perspective.

[0046] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the temperature measurement points include fiber optic temperature measurement points and wireless temperature measurement points, and the multi-dimensional sensor module includes: a three-dimensional temperature field reconstruction sensor array and a wireless temperature sensor array.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the three-dimensional temperature field reconstruction sensor array uses optical fiber as the sensing medium and employs wavelength division multiplexing technology to set multiple fiber optic temperature measurement points on each fiber.

[0048] Specifically, the three-dimensional temperature field reconstruction sensor array uses single-mode optical fiber as the sensing medium and employs wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology to connect multiple temperature measurement points in series on a single optical fiber. The fiber optic sensors are covered with polyimide material, and the optical fiber and steel reinforcement structure are fixed with special stainless steel clamps. The fiber optic sensors are arranged in a three-dimensional grid with a horizontal spacing of 2 meters and a vertical spacing of 1.5 meters. Figure 5 The diagram shows the arrangement of temperature measurement points in a certain layer inside a large volume of concrete by a multi-dimensional sensor module. The vertically intersecting straight lines represent the fiber optic sensing network, and the intersections between the fibers are fiber Bragg grating temperature measurement points. Based on the actual situation, wireless temperature sensing nodes are set between the grating temperature measurement points to collect the temperature of locations that are not covered by the fiber optic temperature measurement points but require special attention.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, a wireless temperature sensor array is used to select multiple wireless temperature measurement points on an optical fiber based on the location of the temperature measurement points, and to place wireless temperature sensors at each of the wireless temperature measurement points.

[0050] In some alternative implementations, the wireless temperature sensor includes: a wireless temperature acquisition subunit, a wireless communication subunit, a microprocessor, and a power supply unit.

[0051] The wireless temperature acquisition subunit is connected to the wireless communication subunit and is used to acquire the concrete temperature at the corresponding wireless temperature measurement point and transmit the acquired concrete temperature to the wireless communication subunit.

[0052] The wireless communication subunit, which is connected to the microprocessor, is used to transmit the concrete temperature to the microprocessor.

[0053] A microprocessor, which is used to convert the temperature of concrete into an electrical signal.

[0054] The power supply unit provides power to the wireless temperature acquisition subunit, the wireless communication subunit, and the microprocessor. The power supply unit can be a lithium battery.

[0055] The temperature control system for large-volume concrete provided in this embodiment features a wireless temperature sensor with clearly defined functions for each unit. This allows for efficient acquisition, transmission, signal conversion, and power supply of concrete temperature data from wireless measurement points, ensuring the accuracy and real-time performance of the collected temperature data. The wireless architecture eliminates the constraints of wired connections, making the placement of measurement points more flexible, and is particularly suitable for temperature monitoring of complex structures like large-volume concrete.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fiber optic data acquisition unit is specifically designed to receive and process signals from fiber optic sensors embedded inside the concrete. It can read data from 128 temperature measurement points on a single fiber with an accuracy of ±0.1°C. The wireless data gateway collects data from wireless temperature sensors distributed across the site and uses LoRa technology to achieve data transmission over a five-kilometer range, essentially acting as a signal relay station on-site. The multi-parameter acquisition module can simultaneously monitor various parameters in addition to temperature, such as strain, humidity, and pH value, providing a comprehensive understanding of the concrete's condition. The data fusion center integrates and analyzes data from fiber optic, wireless, and multi-parameter sources to generate unified monitoring results.

[0057] A multi-dimensional sensor fusion network enables comprehensive three-dimensional monitoring of the temperature field in large-volume concrete. Based on fiber Bragg grating technology, the distributed temperature sensing network allows for the connection of 128 temperature measurement points via a single fiber, achieving a temperature measurement accuracy of ±0.1°C and a spatial resolution of 0.65 meters—more than five times the accuracy of traditional thermocouple monitoring. The three-dimensional grid layout ensures 100% monitoring coverage, completely eliminating blind spots inherent in traditional point-based monitoring.

[0058] The temperature control system for large-volume concrete provided in this embodiment uses optical fiber as the sensing medium and sets up multiple measuring points through wavelength division multiplexing technology, which can realize large-scale, high-density temperature monitoring inside large-volume concrete, providing sufficient spatial data support for three-dimensional temperature field reconstruction. The wireless temperature sensor array is strategically arranged with wireless temperature measuring points, which can flexibly supplement the monitoring nodes and improve the flexibility and relevance of data acquisition. The two work together to ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of temperature data acquisition.

[0059] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the non-contact monitoring module includes: an intelligent gimbal unit and a drone temperature measurement unit.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, the intelligent gimbal unit is fixedly installed at a preset position around the large volume concrete to collect infrared images of the preset area of ​​the large volume concrete.

[0061] Specifically, the non-contact monitoring module consists of a thermal imaging camera array and a drone inspection platform; it is equipped with a high-precision thermal imaging camera array with an electric zoom lens and a mobile drone inspection platform carrying lightweight thermal imaging equipment. The non-contact infrared thermal imaging monitoring system has a thermal sensitivity of less than 0.05°C, enabling it to capture minute temperature changes on the concrete surface in real time, providing high-quality boundary condition data for temperature field reconstruction.

[0062] The intelligent gimbal unit includes a high-precision thermal imaging camera formed using uncooled focal plane array detector technology, with a spectral response range of 7.5-14 micrometers, and is equipped with an intelligent gimbal system with 360-degree horizontal rotation and ±90-degree vertical pitch capability.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the drone temperature measurement unit performs full-coverage aerial inspections of large-volume concrete at preset time intervals, acquiring infrared images of the remaining areas of large-volume concrete that cannot be monitored by the intelligent gimbal unit.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 6 The diagram shows the layout of the infrared imaging equipment for the non-contact monitoring module. The first intelligent gimbal unit is used to monitor the first monitoring area, the second intelligent gimbal unit is used to detect the second monitoring area, and the third intelligent gimbal unit is used to monitor the third monitoring area. Areas that cannot be covered by the three intelligent gimbal units are supplemented by monitoring using a drone temperature measurement unit.

[0065] The concrete structure is divided into grid zones according to its structural characteristics and construction needs. Each temperature control unit typically ranges in size from 4 to 170 square meters, ensuring that each area can be independently monitored and controlled. The division is mainly based on structural thickness, pouring sequence, heat dissipation conditions, and engineering characteristics, with the goal of achieving refined zoning management.

[0066] The drones are primarily responsible for supplementing monitoring, covering areas inaccessible to fixed thermal imaging cameras, and conducting full-coverage aerial inspections twice daily. The monitoring range is adjusted according to the scale of the project; large projects are equipped with two drones, while complex projects are equipped with four. They are capable of flexibly and mobilely monitoring the temperature distribution on concrete surfaces, especially at corners and high-altitude areas, forming a three-dimensional monitoring network with fixed ground cameras.

[0067] The temperature control system for large-volume concrete provided in this embodiment features a fixedly installed intelligent gimbal unit that can stably acquire infrared images of a preset area of ​​the large-volume concrete, enabling continuous monitoring of the corresponding area. A drone temperature measurement unit performs full-coverage flight inspections at preset time intervals, acquiring infrared images of remaining areas that the intelligent gimbal unit cannot monitor. The combination of these two systems achieves comprehensive, blind-spot-free monitoring of the surface temperature of the large-volume concrete, improving the comprehensiveness and completeness of temperature monitoring.

[0068] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the controller includes: a data preprocessing unit, a temperature field reconstruction unit, and a temperature prediction unit.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the data preprocessing unit is used to perform data cleaning, standardization, noise filtering, and feature extraction on contact temperature and non-contact temperature to obtain standard temperature data.

[0070] Specifically, the data preprocessing process is a mature existing technology, and will not be elaborated here.

[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, the temperature field reconstruction unit is used to reconstruct three-dimensional temperature field distribution data based on standard temperature data.

[0072] Specifically, the controller uses deep neural network algorithms and digital twin prediction models to process data, based on an artificial intelligence (AI) temperature field reconstruction algorithm. The AI ​​temperature field reconstruction algorithm adopts a hybrid architecture of convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks, and reconstructs a continuous three-dimensional temperature field distribution from sparse measurement point data through the principle of variational autoencoders.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the temperature prediction unit is used to predict the temperature change trend of large-volume concrete over a preset time period based on three-dimensional temperature field distribution data.

[0074] Specifically, a digital twin prediction model combining finite element numerical computation and machine learning is employed. It utilizes a distributed architecture combining edge computing and cloud computing, comprising two core components: an AI temperature field reconstruction algorithm and a digital twin prediction model. The AI ​​temperature field reconstruction algorithm is based on deep neural network theory, employing a hybrid architecture of convolutional neural networks and recurrent neural networks. The network input layer receives multi-source sensor data, including fiber optic temperature data, wireless node temperature data, thermal imaging temperature data, and environmental parameter data. After data standardization and denoising, spatial features are extracted through multi-layer convolution and pooling operations, and then time-series features are extracted through an LSTM network. For example... Figure 7 The diagram shown is a flowchart illustrating the controller's data processing flow.

[0075] The temperature field reconstruction algorithm employs the principle of variational autoencoder, enabling the reconstruction of a continuous three-dimensional temperature field distribution from sparse measurement point data. The algorithm considers the thermal conductivity characteristics of concrete, boundary conditions, and initial conditions, optimizing the network training process through physical constraints. The reconstructed temperature field achieves a resolution of 0.1 m × 0.1 m × 0.1 m, clearly displaying the temperature gradient distribution and hotspot regions within the concrete. The algorithm runs on an edge computing device configured with an NVIDIA Jetson AGXXavier processor, featuring 512 CUDA cores and 32 GB of memory, enabling real-time data processing and analysis.

[0076] The digital twin prediction model is based on the kinetic theory of concrete hydration reaction and employs a combination of finite element numerical calculation and machine learning. The model considers the release law of cement hydration heat, the heat conduction equation, boundary heat transfer conditions, and the influence of reinforcement and formwork. The hydration heat calculation uses the equivalent age method, taking into account the effect of temperature on the hydration reaction rate. The heat transfer calculation uses the three-dimensional finite element method with a mesh generation accuracy of 0.1 meters and a time step of 5 minutes.

[0077] The machine learning module employs an ensemble learning approach, combining multiple algorithms such as random forests, gradient boosting trees, and neural networks, and uses a voting mechanism to arrive at the final prediction result. Model training utilizes an incremental learning strategy, continuously optimizing and adjusting prediction parameters based on real-time monitoring data. The prediction model considers the influence of various factors such as concrete mix proportions, ambient temperature, humidity, and wind speed, achieving a prediction accuracy of over 90% and a prediction time span of up to 72 hours.

[0078] This is the first time that artificial intelligence technology has been applied to the field of temperature control for large-volume concrete. Through deep neural network algorithms, it achieves intelligent reconstruction from sparse measuring point data to a continuous three-dimensional temperature field, with a reconstruction accuracy of 0.1m × 0.1m × 0.1m. The digital twin prediction model, combining finite element numerical calculation and machine learning methods, achieves a prediction accuracy exceeding 90% and a prediction time span of up to 72 hours. This provides a scientific basis for construction decisions, accurately predicting the time and location of temperature peaks 24 to 48 hours in advance, significantly improving the foresight and targeting of temperature control measures.

[0079] The temperature control system for large-volume concrete provided in this embodiment preprocesses temperature data to obtain standard temperature data, ensuring the accuracy and standardization of the data. The temperature field reconstruction unit generates a three-dimensional temperature field distribution based on the standard temperature data, intuitively presenting the spatial distribution of concrete temperature. The temperature prediction unit predicts future temperature change trends based on the three-dimensional temperature field data, realizing forward-looking control of the temperature dynamics of large-volume concrete.

[0080] In some alternative implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the temperature regulation module includes a cooling pipe network unit and an insulation plate unit.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, the cooling pipe network unit is connected to the controller and is used to increase or decrease the flow rate of the cooling medium in the pipe network according to the temperature adjustment command of the controller.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, the insulation board unit is connected to the controller and is used to open or close the insulation board and turn on or off the electric heating wire inside the insulation board according to the temperature adjustment command of the controller.

[0083] Specifically, the intelligent cooling pipe network uses PE-RT polyethylene pipes, arranged in a spiral structure, and equipped with stepper motor-driven electric ball valves as adaptive flow control valves. The surface insulation control unit uses paraffin-based phase change material composite insulation boards with a phase change temperature of 25°C, and electric heating wires with a power density of 100 W / m² are installed on the surface of the insulation boards. The temperature control module adopts a zoned closed-loop control strategy, dividing the concrete structure into multiple independent temperature control units to achieve fine-grained zoned adjustment. The intelligent cooling pipe network is equipped with adaptive flow control valves, achieving a flow control accuracy of ±2% and a response time of less than 30 seconds, which can dynamically adjust the cooling intensity according to real-time temperature deviations. The surface insulation control system uses phase change material composite insulation boards, which buffer temperature fluctuations through the latent heat of phase change, and combined with the electric heating system to achieve stable temperature control around the clock. Practical engineering applications show that this system can stably control the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete within 20°C, reducing the incidence of temperature cracks by more than 95%.

[0084] likeFigure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the temperature regulation module. The internal cooling process is as follows: When the intelligent analysis system detects that the internal temperature of the concrete is too high, it immediately sends a command to the intelligent cooling pipe network to make the system automatically open the electric valve in the corresponding area and increase the cooling water flow. The cold water circulates through the pipes embedded in the concrete to remove excess heat. The flow regulation is completed within 30 seconds with an accuracy of ±2%.

[0085] The surface insulation adjustment process is as follows: the surface insulation control unit automatically adjusts according to the internal and external temperature difference. If the surface dissipates heat too quickly, the system increases the insulation layer thickness and activates the electric heating wire to supplement heat; if the surface temperature is too high, the insulation thickness is reduced to accelerate heat dissipation. The phase change material in the insulation material automatically absorbs and releases heat at 25°C, playing a temperature buffering role.

[0086] The system continuously monitors the temperature control effect and fine-tunes the cooling intensity and insulation degree according to the actual temperature changes to ensure that the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete is always controlled within a safe range, that is, below 20-25°C, just like a thermostat for intelligent adjustment.

[0087] The temperature control system for large-volume concrete provided in this embodiment uses a cooling pipe network unit to adjust the flow rate of the cooling medium according to instructions, thereby controlling the temperature of the concrete. The insulation board unit flexibly adjusts the concrete's insulation or heating state by switching the insulation board on and off and the heating wires on and off. The combination of these two systems precisely executes temperature adjustment commands based on the temperature change trends in different areas and at different times within the large-volume concrete, effectively controlling the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete and reducing the risk of cracks caused by temperature changes.

[0090] Step S202: Construct three-dimensional temperature field distribution data of large-volume concrete based on standard temperature data, and predict the temperature change trend in the future preset time period based on the three-dimensional temperature field distribution data.

[0091] Step S203: Adjust the temperature at various locations of the large-volume concrete based on the temperature change trend.

Furthermore, this technology accumulates valuable data resources for large-volume concrete construction; optimization suggestions generated through big data analysis can guide the design and construction of similar projects, possessing significant technical promotion value.
