Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of thermal power plants, in particular to a sound wave monitoring system and method for auxiliary monitoring of thermal power plants. BACKGROUND

[0002] Now the normal noise of the on-site equipment of the thermal power plant is miscellaneous and there is no effective method of monitoring, comparison and analysis to determine whether the noise of the abnormal equipment in the area exists.

[0003] Defects of the prior art:

[0004] 1. Discrimination: The abnormal noise of the equipment depends on the experience of the person to distinguish, and there is a lot of basic noise on site. It is difficult to determine whether the equipment is in a normal operating state through abnormal changes in sound from various normal operating sounds.

[0005] 2. Hysteresis: At present, the large-scale site is highly automated, and there is no long-term on-site staff. The sound emitted by the abnormal equipment in the gap between two inspections cannot be immediately discovered by the operating personnel and given correct disposal, which will lead to further expansion of the abnormality to failure or even accident.

[0006] 3. Accuracy: After hearing the abnormal sound, the operating personnel cannot accurately find the source of the abnormal sound in the complex environment on site.

[0007] The existing various inspection methods for the production site often cannot deeply meet the needs of the thermal power plant site to determine by noise, and cannot fundamentally solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems of the prior art, and provide a sound wave monitoring system and method for auxiliary monitoring of thermal power plants.

[0009] The present application is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0010] A sound wave monitoring system and method for auxiliary monitoring of thermal power plants, comprising an intelligent terminal, a sound wave collector, a central server and a knowledge base.

[0011] The intelligent terminal is a fixed on-site sound wave size and frequency size collection device with an alarm lamp and sound, and includes a terminal position ID for distinguishing the position of the terminal.

[0012] The data collection gateway is deployed in the control room and is built-in with multiple communication protocols (such as RS232, USB, etc.), which is used to automatically connect the on-site intelligent terminal, actively capture the test result data generated by the terminal, and bind the corresponding place ID. The complete data packet with address ID is uploaded to the central server.

[0013] The central server and knowledge base are the "brain" of the system, including a database: storing all acoustic wave information, raw data, operation log.

[0014] The rule engine has threshold rules of national standards, industry standards and internal procedures of power plants.

[0015] The trend analysis module is based on historical data to analyze key parameters (such as the size of the acoustic wave, the size of the acoustic wave frequency) and process the values that exceed the standard, issue an alarm and give the noise change area.

[0016] The automatic report generation module automatically generates standardized daily, weekly and monthly reports according to the preset template.

[0017] The user interface is a web or PC client that can visually display real-time data, trend charts and statistical analysis reports.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0019] 1. Full-process digitization, eliminating human errors: from field collection to report, data is entered once and shared throughout the process, avoiding errors that may be caused by multiple transcriptions and ensuring data integrity and traceability.

[0020] 2. Revolutionary improvement in work efficiency: acoustic wave automatic collection is arranged in a three-dimensional grid, which quickly gives the accurate area of noise change by comparing with raw data (5-minute and same working condition data can be used), automatically generates an alarm, and the operator can compare the raw data with the real-time sound on site to quickly make a preliminary abnormality judgment.

[0021] 3. Realize predictive warning: through acoustic wave analysis, a "yellow" warning can be issued before personnel reach the area, prompting attention to the acoustic wave change trend in the area, gaining valuable time for safety and ensuring personal safety from the source.

[0022] The system exhibits high intelligence and integration characteristics in practical application. The design of the intelligent terminal fully considers the use requirements in the complex environment of thermal power plants. The acoustic wave collection device has high sensitivity and anti-interference ability, can accurately capture the acoustic wave signals generated during equipment operation, and can perform preliminary processing on the data through the built-in algorithm to ensure the quality of the uploaded data. The data collection gateway, as the key node connecting the intelligent terminal and the central server, not only supports multiple communication protocols to adapt to the access requirements of different devices, but also has data caching function, which can temporarily store data in case of network exception, and automatically supplement the data after the network is restored, thereby ensuring the continuity of data transmission. The central server and knowledge base further improve the intelligence level of the system. The rule engine can dynamically adjust the threshold setting according to the real-time updated standard, so that the system always maintains the best monitoring state. Attached Figure Description
